difference in size was doubtless owing to the fact that the vine had neither been cultivated nor pruned for several years. The vine from which these grapes were gathered is about fifteen years old, and now has on it's branches about a ton of fruit. If vines will produce like this with no cultivation, irrigation or prun- ing, what may be expected from vines that receive careful culture and irrigation? MT. Burnap is raising fruit about five miles from the railroad, at Walters Station, and the vine from which he gath cred this fruit is an old Mission vine, at an old ranchnria adjoin- ing. The vine is supported by trellis, and is loaded with at least a ton of lucious fruit at the pres ent time. Not only grapes, but other fruits ripen earlier in this peculiar soil and climate than elsewhere in California, and with cheap land the Orchardist and vinyardist can, in this favored spot, constantly forestall the cul- tivators who raise fruit at all other places in the State. MT. Burnap has demonstrated the practicability of fruit raising on the desert, and is entitled to a complete success for his courage and pains."
 Walters Station is 1O5 miles from Yuma and about 90 miles this side of Colton-well out on the desert.

Largest Shaft on the COmstock.

Experience in mining on the Comstock has demonstrated the great utility oi larger shafts. The extra cost of sinkin g is comparatively trivial, while the con- vcniences are much greater. The shaft is the thoroughfare of the mine, and, like the principal street of city, should be ol ample dimensions. The largest shaft on the Comstock is the new one of the Yel- low Jacket. It's three working compart. ments are each five. feet by six and half
 and the pump compartment six and hali by seven and a half It has been carried down to the depth of l, ,560 feet; is vertical as plumb line and we'll timbered. It Is being constructed for business and to stay
 The entire cost of the shaft, machinery
 building, etc., up to the present time amounts to S672,S5 OS.-Gold Hill News

NEW gold placers were discovered in Mohave County, last March. about twenty miles north of Aubrey, some seven miles from the Colorado river. and extending for several miles. On the steamer of May 25th Wm Finkler took up there a machine for dry-washing (screening and fanning) gravel, and is reported to have cleaned up several hundred dollars during the first few days. Some Mexicans are said to have worked over his tailings, with pans, and to have made four dollars a day to the man. As much secrecy as possible has been preserved, but the excitement has now started. Some twenty men have shipped provisions up to Liverpool Lard ing and gone to the new gold fields Should this lot meet with considerable success We can look for a bigger rush of miners than that which built the city oi La Paz, in this county, fifteen years ago In some gulches the gold is coarse, in ! others fine.

VERY good reports of the Tombstone District, Pima County, were brought in by Messrs Seyenoaks, Haskell and McCann, who arrived here on Wednesday. They agree with other experts in pronouncing the surface prospects to be far better than is usual in new districts.

The putatlve buyers, Haggin & Tevis, have plenty of capital and can soon make Tombstone a lively camp, if they want to.

Artesian Water.

Some one in San Diego asked Professor Cunning, short time slnce, what he thought would be the chance of finding artesian water ct that place. He said "the presumptions were that arteslan water could be found everywhere by going deep enough. II there were places where it could not be found, they were exceptions to the general rule" This opinion is in accord with that of most persons who have given the subject proper attention The developments that have been made, from time to time, for years past, also favor this notiOn.-L A.

Yuma County Politics.

While in every other county of Arizona the papers are loaded with announcements of candl- dacy, here, in Yuma County, no one has yet published or declared his intention to seek local office.
 The reasons for this are: That none of the County offices pay enough to properly support man qualified to fill them; and that office holders here have been sub- .lected to so much hostile criticism and slander, that self-respect has impelled them to resign, and makes other good citizens unwill- ing to expose themselves to the same anuoyances by filling the vacancies. Every vacancy has been filled by persuasion and strong appeals to sense of public duty. But one Supervisor was chosen at the last election, there being a tie-vote. Six vacancies have been filled in the Board during the past eighteen months,
 The office of the late Sheriff was paying him less than $200 per mouth gross, barely meeting ex- penses of board and serving pro- cess. He resigned.
 The office of Treasurer paid S780 during the year 1877, and is the least difficult office to get filled by any good citizen who owns q safe and is doing some other busi- ness.
 The minor offices are less sub- lect to attacks or hOwls of Cor ruptionr' and are likely to be filled by men who will hold them as an accommodation to the people, or by invalids who will be elected from motives of charity.
 A rush is likely to be made fo, election to the Legislature by cer. tain citizens who believe that g fight will be made next winter for another removal of the Capi- tai, and that much money is to be spent to bribe legislators 10 effect 1t.
 Unless our reputable citizens and taxpayers take more active interest in County affairs thar they have shown for the pas year, the next election is likely to give us some officers as desti ute of ability as they are of de cency or honesty.

&rapes from the Desert.

For several weeks grapes have been exposed for sale here that were grown at MT. HanlOn's vine ward, seven miles from here, on the San Diego Desert. We have often called attention to the adapt ability of the country for grape raising, and take pleasure in re- producing the following article from the Los Angeles Republican:
 "It seems strange to see ripe grapes from the Colorado desert while those in our own vineyards are yet unripe and not fully grown But yet the sight Is true and the grapes are ripe and sweet. In the Republican of the 18th we published an article en- titled Defense of the Desert from the Arizona Sentinel, in which the productive power of the desert was set forth, and the !lealthfuInesS of the climate clear Iy pointed ont. As an illustration of the productive power of the desert soil we were yesterday treated to an exhibition of ripe Mission grapes from Walters Station, raised by MT. J. Burnap, formerly of this city. The fruit was in large clusters but not equal
 10 the full sized ordinary Mission grapes in Los Angeles. But this

THE new road to Prescott is almost fin. ished and will be practicable for stages by the 25th inst. Next Monday teams can readily pass over it as far as Castle Dome On that day force of fifteen men will be thrown out upon the road between there and Tyson's, to grade down crossings ot little gulches, remove stones, etc. Over forty men have been employed, and the work pushed with an energy that does credit to the contractor, MT. L. A. Smith The road follows the old trail to Castle Dome, along the river and by the Laguna The rocky points near the latter place have been blasted off and the road-b made above high water mark. This road gives Yuma direct stage communication with Prescott, on a schedule time of sixty hours.

IT is with regret that we to day publish Judge Porter's refusal to becOme 8 candidate for office. Beng unskilled in politics, we were sanguine enough to believe that he could have been elected. This belief was based on ample evidence presented to us, that the people of Arizona want to be rep resented at Washington by Del egate possessing more industry and capacity than has been attri- buted to the candidates now in the field; and possessing dOmes- tic and public record that would enable him to come into social contact with Members of Congress from whom he must ask favorS for his Territory.
