Eo Feast but q Far.

Several years ago the Feast of San
 Augustin was regarded as nuisance
 in itself and breeder of crime. In difference to an established custom
 the Feast was tolerated and permitted up to this year. As stated in THE
 CITIZEN a week ago, the city and county authorities took counsel to-
 gether and decided to not give it off cial sanction, but would do all in their power to prevent its being held
 Two or three years ago MT. William Zeokendorf suggested that a good sub stitute for the Feast would be County Fair, and, rightly conducted, there is no doubt but Fair would be of great general benefit and at the same time afford species of useful recreation. Nothing is more certain than that the variety and quality of our farm and gar den produce are not generally known to our people. Pima County today has a number of bloOded horses, cat tle, hogs, sheep and other domestic animals and fowls; also improved va rieties of fruit and vegetables in quan- titles worth being better known than by the accidental sight of them in our market stalls. A County Fair may be made of real benefit in many ways, and move to bring about one in 1880 ought to be made without much more delay, if one that will properly repre- sent the county IS intended, and none other should be held A most i'm portant feature could and should be- an exhibition of minerals from the mines, with statistics of locality, de and product, facilities for etc. The Feast has been voted nuisance, and weI think just consideration of Fair would cause it to be commended as a public benefit.

TIE Bridgeport Standard, Connec-
 ticut, of July ', says a new firm has
 been organized in New York, of which
 Major T. L. Watson is member.
 Major Watson made quite an exten- sive examination of the Tombstone, Ariyaca and other Southern Arizona mines last November, and was so favorably impressed that he invested some money m them and has expend- ed money in their development. He has a warm side for Arizona. The other members of the firm are Gen. O. II. LaGrange for years Superintendent of the San Francisco Mint and now President of the Mono County Bank at BOdie. MT Geo. K. Gibson of San Francisco is the third member. The New York office of the firm is at 60 Wall street, next door to the agency of the Nevada Bank and the business Of the firm will be Co deal m all min ing stocks, to make mining invest mentS and to furnish information relative to mining matters. MT. Wat son will attend to the New York office while Mir. Gibson will be in San Fran cisco, at 426 California street, and General LaGrange, will spend most of his time in New York though ire quently visiting the mines to freshen his information. This strongly in dicates that New Workers are taking an active interest in gold and silver The firm named has at least two shrewd and successful business men, who would not open out in Wall street unless there were pretty plain evidence of business for them. Ari- zona miners will do we'll to open cor respOudence with this firm.

On the New York Stock Board.

The New York press expresses alarm that sucn attention is being given tc mining operations by its capitalists oi a usually conservative character. They say stock representing about $10,000, 900 is listed on the stock board. While the leading New York papers very properly demand that the currency oi the country shall be metallic, and in. sist that it shall be the equal of gold itself, they do what they can to dis courage the production of the precious metals. They prate away as if every man who puts a dollar into mines should be guaranteed in advance that his investment, with interest, be abso- lutely secured. Had this rule been practiced by all miners, the Green packers would never have had any oc- casion to demand a paper currency. The very reason why the country is well supplied with the precious metals today and that paper currency can be and is maintained at par with coin, is that hard working and needy men have taken "the chances in mining, and are doing it still and always will. The leading jolrnals of New York City may always be wrong and un reasonable on this subject, but New Workers will continue to take their |" chances with the miner; and al though they have so far invested but little in Arizona mines they will soon learn that our Territory is a superior one in which to try their luck" Fol lowing is list showing mines and their localities and amount of stocks represented by them on the New York Board:

An ExcurslOn to Santq Monica

Too late for any notice Saturday we received a letter from Mir. A. Bar nett of Maricopa which in substancC is this:
 He is getting up an excursion from Maricopa to Santa Monica and return to leave Maricopa August 1, and re turn within eight days; fare for round trip SEQ; all those wishing to par ticipate, must pay S2O to Lord S Will Hams on or before 23d instant day after tomorrow.
 Santa Monica is on the ocean shore about fifteen miles west of Los An geleS, and is one of the best ocean bathing resorts in California. To those needing a few days of pure life giving air, this opportunity is a rare one. The cost will be something over what the masses can afford but it Is a mere trifle and can easily be paid by many people who would be greatly benefited by making the trip and spending nearly a week at Santa Mo nica. The distance by rail is about $50 miles. Considering the country over which the road passes, the fare is but a trifle. We would not urge people to go, who cannot we'll afford to spare the money, but those who can and can also spare the time, we believe would reap pleasure and bene- fit by taking it.

Goinq inc Hounds.

Here is a scrap already seen in most of the city papers:
 The Railroad Gazette thinks the Hash Knife, the last new postoffice Tn Texas, may be fairly held to balance Fried Liver in Arizona.
 The Gazette is informed that this use of Fried Liver" by all the lead ing papers of the country, is getting tedious down this way, especially when we have a fine commodity of palatable names for them to choose from, viz: Boiled Tongue, Baked Heart, Fried Brains, Stewed Kidneys, etc. The limited understanding of the city press about important Arizona matters is surprising.

Public Ronds.

The necessity for permanently gooC roads is pressing more and more every day throughout the Territory. Mucl of Pima county can be traversed witl wagons over the natural surface, anC yet there are many narrow and deer washes that need bridging, it being almost useless to fill them up at points -of crossing; and after all, the fact oi this being a generally open country has tended to prevent the expenditure of public money on public roads From reports made 10 Us, we are con vinced that the demand for public aid to improve the road via Davidson's canyon to the HerShaw and Patagonia mines, is a just one. The permaDency of the mines, stock and other ranches out that way, is beyond question. Bridges at one or two points over the San Pedro, are properly called for. Other roads need improvement in Pima county.
 No town can hope to long maintain the ascendency in trade and business which is not accessible by reasonably good roads. Yavapai, MaricOpa, Yuma and PInal counties have agitated the road question to some purpose, and are doing it yet. Last week, the Sen tinel was quite severe on the Yuma Supervisors for refusing prompt con sideration of petition of citizens to build road from Castle Dome Land ing to Silver Mining District, a dis tance of fifteen to sixteen miles. It devotes over q column to the matter and makes these inquiries:
 What has become of seven eighths of all the poll taxes paid by citizens of Yuma county!
 Where is this road fund.-" for the construction and repair of public roads.
 Where is there a rod of public road constructed or repaired by the countyg
 Is there another county III the whole United States that has not one mile of road made by the county?
 Supervisor Hise in Pinal county, isl indignant on the road subject, and we clip the following from report of the Pinal Boards action in this re- spect:
 It was moved by HiSe that the board order to be issued the county bonds asI provided in the last legislature forI building county road between Flor ence and Globe City. The motion re- ceiving no second, NIT. Hise rendered his written resignation as a member of this board.
 No section of country can prosper without passable roN.s for loaded vehicles where business requires such vehicles to pass. Pima county has, hundreds of miles of sound natural roads, but here and there they could be improved to the public advantage, and some necessary roads are almost If the public will not build and maintain necessary roads for free travel, it would be better to try the toll-rOad system in some places than not to have improvements on the present highways.

From the Arizonan of July 16:
 Rain fell, in spots, around Prescott today. Wish some big cloud would spot Prescott and vicinity. The sec | tion of country around Crook Canon south of Prescott, was recently treated to two and half hours rain. Water two feet in depth-ran down canons and gulches, clearing them of loose brush, etc, etc.
 The following reply, to a telegram sent by Major C. P. Dake, U. & Mar shal, was received from the Attorney General yesterday:
 WASHINGTON, July I5, 1S79.-C. P. Dake. U $. Marshal, Prescott: There will be money furnished for actual court expenses, but none to pay fees or expenses of Marshals and their Depu- ties until appropriation is made. The Postmaster General will authorize from his Department payment of your actual expenses of experimenting mail robbers. CHARLES DEyENs,
 Attorney General.
 Times are certainly getting better, else how could one man get knocked down for using bad language and two other men get into tist-fight and the jail, inside of twenty four hours.
 AFTER litigation in the State and United States Courts, attended by riot ous proceedings in which life was sac rifced, the Denver and Rio Grande Company have no alternative but to return the road and property to the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Com pany, and were ordered to do so on the 18th instant. The latter company some months since, took a thirtY-year lease of the former. It was claimed on the part of the Rio Grande Com pany that the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Company did not live up to the terms of the lease. It might have been more to the advantage of New Mexico and Arizona had the Rio Grande Company won, for then the rapid building of both roads south and westward would have continued, now the Denver and Rio Grande will likely be stopped where it is for an indefi- nite period, and that is near the north ern line of New Mexico.

THE New York Times is making a vigoriouS onslaught on the move ment on the part of New Workers to engage in mining. It not only attacks mining as hazardous, demOralizing and otherwise bad, but is trying to make it appear that the new interest manifested in New York, is craftily brought about by those who favored the free coinage of silver by Congress. If this be true, then the movement in New York has an immense backing, for that measure has aG undOubted majority in both Houses of the pres ent Congress.

funds for Umed States MarshnLs.

As Arizona is interested in the busi ness of United States Marshals like other sections of the country, we give the following extract from the Attor ney Generals order 10 these officers
 To enable the Department to keep the court expenses within the limits of each appropriation it will be neces- sary for you to set forth the items of your acquisitions with great care. You will make requisition against each ap- propriation for the amount estimated. This apportionment of the funds will require you to keep your accounts so that it may be known how much money is in your hands to the credit of each appropriation at any given time. Such account will serve as the basis of subsequent acquisitions and reports, and your weekly itemized statements must correspond to each separate appropriation. Acquisitions are only to be made for fees of wit neSses and jurors, for the support of United States prisoners and for mis- cellaneous expenses.

 Of the two mining stocks a small lot of Orion was mentioned at a slight improvement, but Tombstone was quiet. The friends of the latter ap- pear to be in no hurry, but simply eX hibit the shipments of silver as the most eloquent advocates of its merits
 On the 9th Orion sold at $1 and on the 10th at S11S per share and Tomb stone at s6$4 both days.

ON the 7th instant Tombstone Mill and Mining stock was selling at S6.5O to $6.75 per share in Philadelphia. The Times of that city then remarked that Tombstone clings with great tenacity to $6.75, displaying its silver bars on Chestnut street as the best evi- dence that the precious metal is there.
