Plant Trees.

| Florence has many natural advantages
 and with a little care, labor and expense,
 can be made very beautiful and attractive. | Water Is abundant and the ground Is fer Itlle. Flowers, shrubs and trees grow rap- idly and require but little care. Stately | trees and shady avenues lend a peculiar charm and attractiveness to the land- Iscape, and their absence leaves a void that iother and even more costly ornaments
 can never fill. This is the season for set- | ting out trees; cottonwood, ash and willow
 can be bought for ten cents each. Every lone owning lot can we'll afford to invest
 a few dollars and a day or two Of time In
 planting trees about their premises, thus oeautifying their homes, enhancing the value Of their property and adding to the
 symmetry and beauty ofour village. some iobject to cottonwood trees, but cotton
 woods are far better than no trees at all.
 and he who plants one tree is a public benefactor.
 1 The Los Angeles Star, in speaking Of the intrinsic value Of trees, says:
 AS an instance of their rapproxfmate val | ue Tn money to vacant, barren and un- attractive lot, we note an instance in the | Improvement Of a single lot of this char acter, Tn an expenditure of thirteen dol lars in trees and labor, an advanced offer In money for the same of two hundred ldollarSi
 Every one owning property in Florence
 desires to see it Improve. We want stran-
 gers to come in and locate, hence we
 should so arrange and improve our town
 that the first impressions of strangers will
 be always pleasing. Repair our streets,
 plant trees, have pleasant yards with
 shrubsand flowers about our homes, and Florence can be made as pleasant and at tractive as the coast towns Of California,
 of which we have read so many roman tic articles.

The south Silver King Mine.

We are informed that work on this mine is progressing nicely Mir. NJ. L. Power, the Superintendent, showed us some specimens which certainly should give the company great encourage ment. Although he only claims good prospect as yet, we are prepared to hear of rich strike there any day. The Secretary of the Company has advised MT. Powers that hoisting works were shipped from San Francisco for the South Silver King on January T.
 About a year ago MT Powers sent some specImens of the King country rock to Mir Atwood, mining expert of San Francisco, who, after examina- ton, made the following reply:
 722 BUSH STREET,
 SAN FRANCIsco, February 12, 1877. DEAR SIR: On examination, find that all the Arizona specimens you were kind enough to give me, consist of what is termed "Igneous Rocks, {" those marked No. 1 and 2 being iden. tical with the so-called Mount David son Synite No. 8 and 4 belong to the same class as those forming the east country of the Comstock Lode. In selecting rock specimens if possible, always try and sset them about three or four inches square.
 Yours most truly,
 M. ATWOOD.

1 MR. J. P. FULLER, we'll known ia Pinal and Pima counties, arrived in town on Monday last, with between 1000 and 5000 oranges direct from Hermosillo, Mexico. This is the finest lot of oranges we have ever seen in Florence. and to our taste the HermOsillo orange quite excels those grown in California, and are fully equal to any imported from foreign parts. Mir. Fuller found ready sale for his fruit al s4.50 per hundred. What we want now, is some one to plant large orange and fig orchard right here on the Gila; no reason why we can't have plenty of fruit right at home and get up a reputation for oranges equal to Hermosillo and ahead Of Los Angeles. The Fuller Brothers planted some fig trees on their ranch, fourteen miles east Of Tucson. which grew five feet last year. They have just planted lot ot orange, date, pomegranate, quince. and a large variety Of other fruit and shade trees, and also vines, shrubs, plants, &c. | MT. J. P. Fuller assures us that their orch ards and gardens are in the best condition and promise abundant fruit at no distant Iday. It does seem that all that is requir- ed to make the desert blossom and pro- duce the good things Of life Is a little cap ital judiciously expended added to labor and patience.

WE dropped In yesterday to pay our re spects to the male department of our pub
 lie school. and we can say that we came away highly pleased with our visit. We found thirty-three bright boys present
 very ord srly and hard at work. The dis cipline in the school seems to be perfect.
 The relations between teacher and schol- ars are Of the most pleasant character, and the uoys seem to go about their daily stud ies rather as a pleasure than as task, while the reverse is too often the case. We made a proposition to the boys to interest them as local editors for THE CITIZEN and suggested to them that the best compost ton on local matters should be published each week in THE CITIZEN. If they ac cept our proposition, we shall expect some spicy items from them. Since September last this school has been under the super vision Of MT. c. A. Clum, who deserves great credit for the interest he has mani tested in the cause Of popular education, as we'll as the ahility and tact he has dis played in the government of the school, and upon its present prosperous condition Florence has great cause for congratula- ton. We shall ask permission to visit the ladies' department next week.

Items from Yuma Sentinel.

On Sunday morning, just before day light the store of Julian Samter was discovered to be on fire. There was no one on the premises but Mir. H. Gold. berg and one clerk, MT. Samter being absent in California. For thIs reason and no one being awake at that hour, the flames got such headway that the store and stock soon became nearly a tota, loss. The building was insured for 5000 and the stock for 5000. Mir. Samter was telegraphed for and arrived the next day. He estimates the value of the stock, at the time of the fire, at between $13.000 and $14,000.
 Fields train left here yesterday for Tucson with over 72,000 pounds on three teams; big load Jenks went same day with about !7,000. Neahr dispatched Brash's train, m charge of l.

BY Wednesdays stage came large sup ply Of singing books, record books, cards, notices, pictures, &c., for the Florence Sunday School. Messrs. A. L. Bancroft & Co. advise the treasurer that the lesson papers, childs'-papers, &e., will be sent di- rect from eastern houses and will be along about February l. Gov. c. L. Woods in- formed us a short time ago that gentle man in San Francisco had donated an excellent juvenile library to our school, and as soon as the books could be put ID proper condition they would be forwarded to us. This certainly is encouraging and will be of equal interest to teachers and scholars. What we want now is neat room in which our school can meet and then we will be all right.

4 FRIEND informs us that he has found fine cornmeal and plaster-of Par lis mixed-one.third of the later-the best and safest thing to kill rats. He says that, as the plaster is tasteless, the rodents eat it along with the meal, and afterwards it absorbs the juices of the stomach and causes death. We have seen the same thing recommended in print somewhere, but never saw any one who had tried it. We have great confluence in our informant, and we know that he has no interest in a plas- ter mill.
