Prospectors who are searching the moun- tains for hidden treasures it may be poor as Jobs turkey-will in a moment find themselves Bonanza Kings and be able to revel in luxury the rest of their days; but all men cannot become owners of rich mines! All men cannot become wealthy farmers. To the great mass of man. kind the price of pork and beans will still be an object.

THE MOUNTAIN NoMADs,


 Urlike the restless splits of the mountains and mining Camps, whose thirst fer advel. ture is such that you are as likely 10 find any one of, them in Australia as in Arizona, during the next few months our people fud here a country so Gesir- able that they must secure govern ment title Us soon us claims can be perfected, or q c otEeis, seeing the advantagc S, wiiljump tie claims. To the cmigrant wLo desires a home for his family-a home where social ties are permanent; where all the inst.tu- iions that build up and refine socie- ty, ae fostrrcd and encouraged, onr Salt River valley presents induce ments unparalleled in the west.
 THE TRANSITION ERA.
 We have now reached period in the history of this country, when it not only became self-sus- taining, but gave largely of its pro ducts for the feeding of the noun tain towns. The supply from so fruitful q soil often e, ceedcd the demand, even in some of the staple products. and when this was the case, ihe maik,t ruled so low that for tLe next succe. ding year none of th.t article would le raised. Tliis course of planting and Lot plnting kept the malket in a state of con stant fuc;u tinn between the two extiemcs of pIices that were iuiD- ous alternately 10 the producer and the consumer. EECAPITCIA-ION.
 We should have .aid il its proper place, that the first officers of the county were alpoii. tel lsy A. k. P. Safford, Governor of the Territory, and were as follows: II. r. Cliff fin, F. <. Shaw and C. II. Cray, Supervisors; John T. A!slp, Plo- bate Judge; Wm. \. Hancock, Sheriff; J. L Mercer, Reyorde; Geo. E. Mowrey, IT., asurer; F. 4. Shaw, Clerk of the District Court. These appointments were made on the 2Sth of February, 1871.
 THE COUNTY ELECTION
 Which took place on Monday, May 1st. 1871, Phenix was elected the County seat. and II. L. Stiles, J. X. Young and F. A. Shaw Couly Su- pcrvi<ors. Thomas BarAum was elected Sheriff; J. L. Mercer, Re cor,,e.; Geo. E. Mowrey, Treasurer; Wm. A. Hancock, Surveyor; R. Stinson, District Attorney, J. M. Henderson, Pubic Administrator and J. NJ. Elliott, Co oner. NJ. L. Stiles declined to qualify as County Supervisor, and c. II. Gray was ap- pointed in his stead.
 FIRST SCHOOL IN ARIZONA.
 The first public school under the school law of the Territory, was taught in Phenix, during the sum- mrr of 1871. J. R. Darroche was the teacher.
