coRRECTIoN-THE PECK TROUBLES

| In yesterdays issue there appeared SD item which inadvertently tended to convey a wrong impression of the situation at the Peck mine. Persons unacquainted with the proceedings of the last few days, might have been led to believe that Judge Brooks, Mess. Keys, Hoyle and others were unlaw- fully resisting the Sheriff in the discharge of his duty, when in fact, these parties were holding the mine, under an order made by Judge Porter of the Supreme Court and believing that they were doing their duty and nothing more. There was a conflict between the order of Judge Porter and the writ of replevin, under which the Sheriff demanded possession. Judge Brooks, the receiver in Chancery, refused to permit the Sheriff, ac'ing under a writ of repleyin, from removing the property ot the Co., that Is all there was of the matter.
 The mill and mine were running under Judge Brooks order as receiver, and will, we are informed, continue to do SO, unless taken possession of by the Sheriff, on be- half of the California people.

PRESCOTT SWIMMING BATH.

Archie Mcbride is canvassi1g the subiecl of opening a frst-class swimming bath in Prescott. His idea is to lease the City Hall on Mccormick Street, sink a we'll and put windmill near it, and place inside a large tank or reservoir, say p 40 feet square, and to s feet in depth. \ number of dressing rooms would be attached and all the appliances in the way of towels, bathing dresses, etc, usually round in modern bath Ing establishments provided for the use of patrons. His plan is to have set hours for ladies alone, others for gentlemen alone and again time each day for all who de- sire to join in general swim in full bath ing dress. He proposes to issue tickets en- titling the holder to bathe by the week month, season or single bath.
 The novelty of seeing water enough to swim in should induce our people to patro- nize an institution of this kind, even if they did not dare to wet their feet

OFFICERS RESISTED.

Word came from Alexandra that Deputy
 Sherlfis II. II. Cartier and N. P. Pierce
 went to the Peck Mine and Mill on Tues
 day, to serve writ of replevin, on th. par
 ties holding possession, for the restitution of all tbe property belonging to the Peck
 Company, and found Judge H. Brooks, Cal win Keys, J. Q. Murphy and Geo. Opdyke. Geo. Hogle, McWharten and thrse or four others Tn possession. The officers in attempt ing to obey the requirements of the law, met with resistance from the parties in charge and were prevented from making service of the papers by an exhibition of armed force. This fact being reported to the Sheriff's office here yesterday, Sheriff Walker started last evening in person to the scene of difficulty, taking with him Deputy Sheriff Mulvenon, with the inte 1tiOn of serving the papers and taking possession of the property. IL is mater of public re- cord that Judge Hezekiah Brooks was ap- pointed by the Hon. DeForest Porter re- ceiver of the property of the Peck Minin Company, and that on fast Monday he pro- ceeded 10 the mine and mill and took DOS session as receiver. Under legal advice, he refused to surrender the property to the Sheriff, claiming that, by his appointment as receiver, he has a superior right to the possession of the property From our long acquaintance with Judge Brooks, we are satisfied he would not resist what he con. ,idered as lawful authority.
 An injunction from Judge Hargravc, Court Commissioner, has been issued direct ing the suspension of work at the Peck, which order We believe will have to be with, let the consequences be what they may.

THE WEDDING.

The marriage of Louis R St James and Carrie E.. Pine, at the Marina St. M. F. Church last evening, was not only an i'm portant social event in the history of Pres colt but a most agreeable gathering together of the people, young and old, in their best attire, to witness the iInpos- ing ceremony that was to make of these two interest ng young persons one flesh, as they had already become one in thought and in spirit.
 Promptly at s ?. m, the large Church being filled with the elite of the city. the bride and groom entered the building and marched down the nor;h aisle. preceded by Hon Hugo Richards anS Mi.s Etta Parker, As bridesmaid and groomsmap. to the front of the altar. when Rev A. Gilmore, Chap lam in the L. S. Army, arose and immedi- ately proceeded with the solemn rites of the Church which he curiaiIed st the re- quest of the parties most interested. detract- ing somewhat. from the interest that would otherwise have attached to the occasion. Al the close of the ceremony tue parties marched in the same order as before up the south aisle and out st the front door, when they and number Of invited guests repaired Co their new residence On Garley street, where a reception was held.

 Prescott, A. r.
 Dox'r.-It affords us grtat deal oS sat isfactIou to notice an editorial comment made by the Tucson Citizen of May 9th. speaking of the San Francisco Chronicle, it says: "The San Francisco Chronicle will now take an immense slide to the front among California newspapers, as the sue n..s .,f ,he new ts,ustitution IS conceded to be largely due to it's efforts"
 We viii not quote further. for VIC think the Citizen. like the Chronicle. is genuine blackmailing, li0elous sheet, and Is in the same boat with the Chronicle, which need ed some new shIp to again float 1t in pub lie favor and disgrace itsclfforever by help ing to fasten this parasite upon the State ot Cs iiornla. The Cihzen must soon tnd in . such a ship or it will be grounded Co, .ecl.-s and shoals of public opinion.

We understand that steamer from Yu. ma arrived at Aubrey on Monday of this week with 100, 900 pounds of machinery for NIT. Fuller, who is erecting a quartz mill in Cedar district. Arizona will soon be supplied with a respectable outfit of mills for the reduction at least of some of the ore that has been taken from the tens of thousanes of rich leads that are scattered all over the territory.
 We understand that resident of Pres colt, who has plenty of means, contemplates tip to Chlcngo during the coming ten days for the purpose of purchasing a quartz mill which will be put up on the HassaY- ampa about twelve miles from Prescott. The party who is about to make thls pur chase and enter into the manufacture of bullion, has some fine leads that assay " well, are large and will easily keep a mill sup piled with ore.
 John P. Cum, the saintly and truthful editor of the Tucson Citizen, few weeks since had occasion to throw dirt and belittle
  was false. low and detestablu, at Ehe same time claiming great things for Inspector of IndiaA Affairs, Mir. Hammond. Things change The Indian Inspector who is repre- sented to us as man of keen perc. .ptions, saw through the lick-spittle articles, went to Tucson, snubbed the ex-Indian Agent who was always connected with low, vile set of fellows, and now that all powerful Indian Inspector is anything but a gentle man in tue estimation of Lord Cum. It's too bad.

SLOW LIGHTNING

We suggested yesterday that our bushes:
 men petition the Western Union Company
 to extend their line to Prescott and estab-
 fish a credithble odice, and we find, upon enquiry, that the merchants and others who
 have occasion to patronize a telegraph line, arc as a unit, m favor of something better than the Government line, w4ich cOade- sCends to take messages when there is no Government work, that is, if the line hap pens to be m working tix. We know that the Government line is an elephant on tho hands of Uncle Sam under present manage
 ment, ana perhaps il would be wise for the Signal Service to diJpose of it To some party or parties who would reconstruct 1t in every particular and make it useful, reliable institution rather than to keep it as it now is, an uncertain, badly managed, non paying instrument and great annoyance to those who are, in certain contingencies induced to patroniZc it, and run the nsk or getting message through to San Francisco in ad- vance of a letter through the mails. IL takes generally, over good telegraph lines, about 4 seconds to telegraph 500 miles, but we doubt very much whether a dispatch sent from Prescott to San Francisco, ever reaches that city and an answer arryes back on the same day. Why this is so, we do not know, but we believe the assertion is correct Unless some steps are taken to remedy this evil, which we have sub. mitted to long enough, why we will pay for riding ard still % on foot.
