 BUTTER.-John Wood, yesterday brough, in 900 pounds of butter, made at-his cattle ranch, in the Mogollon Mountains. It is said to be a superior article, but the market l is little dull just now, owing to shipments l from California. Mir. Wood has therefore | stored his with C. F. Head & Co, until there shall be better demand for it.
 That little item published ia the MINER yesterday in regard to Harry Mckinney bonding his mine for $S5 ,000 was not ex- actly right. Mir. Mckinney has a power of attorney authorizing him to bond some IS different claims belonging to other parties in connection with his own valuable inter- ests in Humbus district. for the sum above mentioned. Judging from the ore we have seen, Harry's interest alone would not be cxorbitant at the price mentioned. John D. Lee, who led the Mormons and Indians against Capt. Francher and the Ar kansas emigrants, on the 18th of Septem- Der, 1857, at Mountain Meadows, and cru ely murdered one hundred and twenty men, women and children, was, at the time of his execution sixty-five years of age. Noun tain Meadows are situated 320 miles south west from Salt Lake City by road measure as the road ran in 1857.
 The City "Dads'' have employed Mir. Lucas to superintend the repairing of the crossing traversing Montezuma street, cor ner of Goodwin The watercourse has been excavated to depth of about 12 inches and the same refilled with cobble-stone, which ought to make solid foundation. Now for foot-bridge across Granite Creek, and the opening up of Mccormick street.
 Hon. J. M Redondo, the Mayor of Yuma, is paying our city visit. He is the most prircely farmer along the Gila, where his grain field of a thousand acres is overfowed twice a year, and produces two immense crops of grain annually. The Mayor is progressive citizen and carries on large commercial relations with our city. A trip to Yuma is incomplete without visit to the beautiful ranch of Senor Redondo, and greeting from this noble snd affable gentle n.[-L. A. Republican.
 sSpISEs AVA STILL.n- Three old Pres byterian preachers ..forgathered ancc upon time" at s'kirk" where one was to preach and the other two to sit in tho audience.
 The s'old man at the wheel kept on talk ing until his bretheren became wcary, and one of them slid out into the vestry. The other thought he would hear him through, but finally grew tired and followed hiscom- panion. Just as he entered the vestry the one already there, who was waiting inn patiently, asked him if the old man was through with his discoursel "No, no, " said he, holding up his hands in an attitude of despair, he's a oot O tow, this lang syne, but he's 'spinen ava still.
 CoLE--BRAN.-From an inspection of documents filed yesterday with Clerk Wilk- erson, we infer there has been move to set tie the Cole-Bean controversy.
 wm. Cole deeds to Mary M. Bean three Hundred feet in each the first north and first scuth cSt1hsion claims on the Peck and Occident lodes, and acknowledges full satis- e &.xFs t,1r. mert in the Cole Bean case. There is also an assignment filed to c. c. Bean of the claim of Cole against L. B. Jewell and wife, and some other papers of minor importance.
 We have been unable to obtain any insor 1 nation from the parties as to the amount paid or other details of the settlement, ex- cept that Cole has dismissed his Attorneys 1
