The weekly Arizona miner., 1878-05-10

We hear the name of Doctor ". j. Tomp
 kins favorably spoken of as suitable per
 son for the next legislature, also that of c
 E. Cooley of Show low. They are both tru,
 blue, belong to the Australian Gum tres
 species and will do to tie to-Mr. c. F
 Cate, would make a good member for tho
 Council, and VIC hope our citizens will in.
 sist upon his lending his name in that con,
 nection.
 The true assay value of the bullion pro.
 duced from 2sO lbs of ore from the thew
 find" in Tonto Basin, is $l, ,902 70 or almost
 seven dsllars per pound for the ore. This
 ore came from mIne in Yavapai county
 and we doubt much whether it can be beat
 by any other mine in the Territory We have only heard of one mine that ever pro- duced better ''truck" and that was the Eberhardt, at White Pine, in Nevada.
 Bancroft's team brought in several hun dred feet of iron pipe for Lount, Casper & t;o., which IS to be used in connection with their windmill enterprise. J. H. Lee, of the American ranch, secured lot of this piping, which is'to be brought into requisi- tion at bis ranch, for conducting water from his we'll to tank situated in the cen ter of large garden, 700 feet distant, erect ed for the purpose of irrigating his vines, vegetables, etc.
 J. Hsrspring has fitted up one of the most genteel cigar and tobacco houses in the Territory, adjoining the Sample Rooms of Phil Kearney. Mr. H. has but recently come to Prescott but during that short time he has been busy fixing up for the bu- siness he is about to engage in. He informs us that portion of his goods arrived this morning, all first quality, which he intends opening up to the inspection and criti- cism of the public. His location is central, and his knowledge of the tobacco business is said to be perfect, therefore we predict that he will please those who indulge in the tweed"
 SILVER BELT.-This is the very appro-1 priate and suggestive name of new paper, published at Globe City, Pinal county, Arizona, by Hackney & Morehead, at $4 per annum. No. 1, Vol. l., dated May 2, is re- ceived and presents healthy appearance. The Silver Belt is 24-column paper we'll filled with interesting local and general news. Globe is a new mining district, of which Globe City is the business centre, and we doubt not that the Belt will receive liberal patronage, as it certainly deserves, if the number before us is a true index of what is to follow. We hail the Silver Belt as a CO., worker in the cause of development.
 JUDGE SILENT HAS CoME.-H Hon. Charles Silent, District Judge of this, Third District, and Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of Arizona, who has been anxiously looked for a long time by attorneys and litigants, whose interests have in some instances sui fered for want of a Judge to hear motions. make orders, grant injunctions. etc., etc, ar- lived by this mornings stage.
 We understand that he will proceed to Mineral Park and hold the Mohave county District Court, after which he will return iere and be ready for the June term of the Yavapai Court He is of course weary from his long trip across the desert, and we have not sought to interview him as yet, prefer ing to let him have a rest before putting in )ur augur.
