The experiment. has beeM made Of sowing
oats and wheat together, with view to OBJ
tain winter covering for the wheat. The seed,
in the proportion Of one part Of oats to two
part Of wheat, was sown In the fall, and the
oats sprang up gu ekly and were killed by the
early frost, the stalks and leaves lying ON the
ground all winter, keeping the snow from
blowing away and preventing the sun from
thaWing the frozen ground. In the spring
the dead cats made q good top-dressng for
the growing wheat. The crop OF wheat In the
following season was reported to be excel
lent, while wheat On the adjoining land.
planted in the usual mannes, was OF no value.

Months ago, Rev. H. H. Messenger, of Orange, Cal, corresponded with residents of Arizona as to the practi- cability of growing bananas out here. The result of the correspondence must have been favorable for late number of the Los Angeles Commercial says the gentleman named is introducing the culture of the banana into Ari- Zona."
 The climates of the Colorado about Yuma, the lower Gila and Salt River valleys are likely suited to the grow ing of such fruit. Arizona valleys ought to be made produce many choice fruits. The soil is good and climate mild.

More Crazy Than Seifsh.

The Chicago Tribune has lately and for years been jealous in encouraging settlement and development of the Territories, and urged people to get out of the overcrowded cities and go West" In this course it was right, and did the best thing for the indus trious poor of the cities and also the best for the cities, for nothing can be more distressing to well-to-do city peo- pie than to have a surplus of poor people on hand with nothing for them to do and necessarily calling for aims. But The Tribune has changed its pol icy. It now deplores the settlement of the Territories. Here is an extract of one of its late walls on the subject:
 Every person added to the popula- tion of Wyoming is taken from some old community where he might live in greater ease and comfort. Every dol lar expended in developing the re- sources of Arizona is withdrawn from some enterprise in another and better part of the country. All our far West ern settlements have been built up at the expense of settlements in the far East, and little has been gained by the transfer of men and capital.
 Such drivel needs no refutatiOn. Had this absurd argument prevailed in early times, Chicago would have had no existence. It is narrow, selfish and crazy, and is only referred to here to show our people one of the curious freaks of able @ journalism.

The Next Secretary Of Var.

 WAsHINGToN, June 9.-It is stated on what seems to be sufficient authori- ty, that the President has rendered to Gen. Chas. F. Manderson, of Nebraska, the position of Secretary of War, to succeed Judge McCrary. Gen. Man derson was born and educated in Phi ladelphia, and is a lawyer by profes- sion, but entered the army as Lieuten- ant at the outbreak of the Rebellion. He rapidly rose through successive grades to the COlonelcy. He was twice severely wounded, and was mustered out at thc close of the war, as Brevet Brigadier General Most of his mili tary service was with the army of the Cumberland. At the close of the wal he removed to Omaha, where he has since been actively engaged in the practice of his profession.

MT. E. L. Schefeillen and Judge Bidwell came in last Tuesday with the first shipment of Tombstone bull lion, as per following letter and memo randa:
 TOMBSTONE NJ. & M. COMPANY,

 Messrs. Stafford, Hudson & Co, Tue son, Gentlemen: 1 forward to you this day for shipment to Gov. Stafford, Phi ladelphia, Pa, eight bars of bullion, enfaced value eighteen thousand, seven hundred forty-four and 5S-100 dollars, as per memoranda enclosed. Yours truly, RICHARD GIRO, Supt.

New Mining District.

Evergreen is the name of a new mining district about twenty miles northwest of Tucson and but four or five miles south of the line of the rail way. It embraces the low mountains about Point of Mountain and to the westward. There is no limit to the ore in the district, and its nearness to the railway must make it valuable, even if not of high grade. Not much in the way of development has yet been done, but some work has been going on for couple of months past with an encouraging showing. Judge J. Neugass, John W. Davis and some others have been expending money and labor out there, and they are quite content with the prospects, and feel sure that on the completion of the rail way no trouble will be found in get. ting men of means to aid in operating the mines.

SaK RiYer Items.

Condensed from the Herald of the 14th:
 Mesa City, located on the Florence road. nine miles from Hayden's Ferry, is the principal place and contains about twenty-five families. There is considerable fruit being planted here. One of the greatest drawbacks to this valley is the attempt to cultivate large areas.
 The mail service between Phoenix and Prescott will be increased to seven times per week on and after the 16th inst.
 A 1OO-stamp mill will shortly be constructed at the Vulture mine, and with the forty-stamp mill that is now nearly completed at Seymour must greatly add to the wealth of Wicken- burg and vicinity.
 The stage that left Prescott on the 11th was stopped by highwaymen, three miles out. There was no money in the express box.
 The Tiger mill is pounding on rich ore, ds lS dlSO AOB. at the camp is good and lively.
 From the Expositor of the 18th: Phoenix has fifteen stores where they sell general merchandise and only fifteen saloons.
 The bottom is likely to fall out of the grand hotel enterprise. Cause, too much jaw development.
 There is not One-fourth of the hay made in this valley that will be re- quired for next winters demand.

ONE R. F. Straine has been writing column upon column for different east ern papers about Arizona in the most friendly spirit, and he goes to the very limit of praise. These facts make it rather hard for us to say that our east ern journalists would do well to curb him considerable when he touches railway matters about which he writes as if he knew more than the directors of companies now building roads in this direction. They ought at least to be sure that he has accurate geogra- phical knowledge of the country he writes about, before giving him more space to make himself and the papers ridiculous.

Under Better Influences.

It seems a number of Prescott peo- pie have lately-settled in Phoenix and Salt River Valley, and are trying to do better there, and, according tosome of the Phoenix peoples statements, the Prescott Miner has been raking up old records of these former Precott- ties. A Phoenix correspondent of the Herald devotes a column and a half to the subject, and very properly says:
 Whatever the character of men may have been while residing in Prescott and its vicinity, it is not kind, to say the least, for the people of Prescott or the Prescott papers, when they have settled in neighboring town and un- der the genial influence of its climate and the general prosperity around | them have become not only thriving and prosperous, but moral and upright men, to talk in such an unkind way about them, not only reminding them of what they would probably like to forget. but as it were warning their neighbors against them by telling what they were at one time in their lives, under certain demoralizing in- | tiuences. When men have been able to see the error of their ways and have determined, in new country, with new associates and under more benign influences to lead better life, it is un- christian and cruel to twit them with their former evil associations.

OUR telegraphic correspondent at San Diego sent us some news today which we received by the San Fran cisco Bulletin yesterday, and this tardiness happens almost every day. Some of the news he sent Us this fore noon was in type here before received by telegraph. This proves that at times the railway and stage are more rapid means of communication be tween Tucson and San Francisco than the telegraph. A little more prompt ness would be more satisfactory.
