The robbers took Wells, Fargo & Co.'S express box, five hundred pounds of silver bullion, everything of value possessed by the passengers, and the four stage horses. The passengers four in num- Der, walked to Happy Camp, fifteen miles distant. Information was first obtained by Wm. Griffith, one of the proprietors of the stage line, who left Maricopa Wells to look after tine eastward bound stage, that stage not arriving on time, but instead he found the westward bound stage as stated. It is also though that the other stage has been taken in. The robbers were Mexicans and are by this time, no doubt in Sonora. \ party left PheniX last Wednesday evening in pursuit.

 THE specimen in our cabinet that attracts the most attention is q piece of asbestus, from McMillenville, ob- tained by Us on a recent trip to that section of Maricopa county. There is said to be an entire mountain of this mineral, and in the near future, when transportation is cheap, several fortunes will be made in this direc- ton alone.
