F. M. Larkin, business agsnt for c. IT Hayden of Tempe, Maricopa county, ar rived Tn town yesterday. Mr. Larkin re , ports Phenix as the liveliest place just al
 present, in Arizona. The yield of barley and wheat will be just immense, and as fol
 fruit 1t will be ever average.
 John D. Dudley, founder of the Dudley
 House Tn thIs village, has been in the res
 taurant business, of late, at Signal City, but
 owing to the effects of an article of inferior
 spruce" used in that section of Arizona,
 he has been compelled to leave for other
 fields where the article is of purer nature.
 The friends in Los Angeles of John c
 Campbell. now one of Prescott's leading
 merchants, will be pleased to learn that he
 is candidtte for Congress in Arizona;
 with good prospects of being elected
 Knowing Mir. Campbell personally we can say that Arizona could not send better man to represent her interests in Washing ton.-Los Angeles Star.
 D. A. Mckinley, Esq.,, goes by next stage to San Francisco and then East. He has se- cured in the Kit Carson, Silver Flake and Agua Fra some of the best mining proper ty in this county, upon which we congratu- late him. He has made no blow about what he was doing or intended to do but kept his eye on the chances and went for the best, and got it.
 Whoever can invent plan by which water can be brought into the gulches lead ing into Lynx creek, Groom's creek, Has, sayampa and dozens of other streams in this vicinity at any reasonable price per inch, can make an everlasting fortune. A sluice head, of three hundred miners inches in any of the gulches named would enable placer miners to make good wages and in some places experienced miners estimate that thousand dollars day to the sluice could easily be taken out.
 PROMPTLY PAID.-W. NJ. Buffum, Esq, informs us that he got notice by last mail from his San Francisco correspondent thar the $1 300 bar of gold which he shipped by Wells, Fargo & Co.'s express, and which was taken from the treasure box by the robbers below Wickenburg, was promptly paid for in full by w. F. & O. as soon as the fact of the robbery was ascertained. This company never bubbles when it meets with loss, but comes right up to the scratch every time, and expects everybody else to do the same. It neither gives nor asks credit but conducts business on the cash up principle.
 L. c. Palmer has letter in the Junction City (Kansas) Union defending himself against certain article that appeared in the Enterprise about the first of April. Mir. Palmer in writing to friends in Kansas mads mention of the truthful fact that Arizona had received but little rain for eighteen months previous to his writing. The editor gets mad, throws dirt. accuses Mir. Palmer of falsehoOd and belittles him generally All that we have ever known of MT. Plamer has been of character that will stand the test here or elsewhere-honest, hard work ing, etc.
 Hon. King s. Woolsey, Independent can- didate for Delegate to Congress, arrived in town from his home at Phenix last evening The Colonel is an old citizen of the Terri | tory, has been a good friend to its every welfare and has many warm fiiends in every section who will cast their vote in his favor even the Enterprise man, who IS footing his | horn for some one else, is compromised to the Colonel and will either have to support | him or go back on his word. Mr. Marion | has accused the MINER of being afraid to come to the front and pick our man. We have thought 1t prudent to compromise with | no one. We are Independent and our work | shall be in that line and for the best inter- ests of the people of Northern Arizona.
