cUihyating Good FeeLing and ReciProcityS From the Prescott Miner:

We understand from a reliable source that the contract for building the Phenix school house calls for all California lumber to be used in the erection of the same. Even the rough scantling and boards are to be brought from California This order from the Commissioners seems to us as little impertinent. Prescott could have fur nished the necessary material, of an excellent quality, at 20 per cent. less than the same can be laid down for from California. However, they may have a motive in this, that they are to furnish the Railroad Company with pumpkins in exchange for their pine boards and hoop poles. Prescott peO- pie might have even done better with the Phenix people than the Railroad Company in trading for their produce But since the great and wise men of the South" have elected to trade with California the people of Yavapai must content themselves to seek a new chan mel through which they may receive flour, barley, etc. ItwOuld look mean in us of the northern part of the Terri tory to slight the Railroad Company, when our friends of Phenix are so lib eral with their patronage to that man. moth corporation. It is just as cheap to buy flour, barley and pumpkins in California, and freight the same by rail to Maricopa, as to buy in Phenix, and as the school house question gives us the hint that our trade IS not want ed, let us cast our patronage also with the people of the Golden State. There is nothing like being independent.

Condensed from the Weekly Miner August 1:
 Is it going to rain?
 Several new buildings are going UT at Whipple.
 The Tiger Company shipped during July twenty-six bars of bullion to San Francisco, worth about $36,000.
 The people of Apache County have been particularly favored with rain in consequence of which they have ex cellent crops.
 The Plaza is to be fenced, and 225 cedar posts seven feet long and six by six inches square are required.
 The MOhave mail started out this morning as daily. A covered wagon drawn by good horses took the first mail under the new arrangement.
 It Is believed that two or three diff ferent companies are willing to build the rail extension from Maricopa, Gila Bend or any other point on the South ern Pacific to Prescott, If it meets with the appreciation of our taxpayers.
 It Is not generally known that there exist in the northern part of Arizona 1000 Indians who subsist entirely upon what they can pick up in the way of acorns, berries, nuts, grass seed, and a little wild game, yet such is the case.
 The Tip Top Company will donate four and half miles of road between Gillett and the Tip Top mine and SlOOO to the person who takes the con tract and completes the road between and Gillett.

Work Toqetber.

The bane of Phoenix is a want of unity of purpose and effort in accom- plishing anything that tends to the public good. When one of our citi- zens starts out to effect any public en- terprise, the rest of us, from some un- accountable reason, sit supinely quiet and wait for him, singly and alone, to accomplish an undertaking in which we are all as vitally concerned as he may be. Too often the only assistance rendered consists of aside remarks that Tom Jones has started this thing and proposes to run it, and we'll see, by our nOn-assistance that he fails"
 We commend the people of Pres colt, as we must every thriving town, for their unity in working together in every public enterprise for the good of their towns. You will find no citi- zen of Yavapai but is prepared to aid in, and swear to, the general prosperity and advancement of their section.
 The above is copied from the Ex- positOr. It might elicit an answer which could be turned to good account to ask the Expositor writer why Yuma and Tucson were not commended for the spirit which he recognizes so strongly and practically developed in Prescott? He claims that the want of unity of action is seen in PhenIx in the matters of the improvement of the road to Prescott via Black canon; in the improvement of the public plaza which is a blot and an eye-sore to every man who has the good of the town at heart;" and also in the Public Library Association which "is Ian gushing unto death from the same want of effort on the part of its mem bers."
 The Expositor writer seems to lack an understanding of human nature as it is in general, and innocently thinks it possible for his neighbors and perhaps others to be as liberal and harmonious in local action as those of Prescott.

We are reliably informed that Col Wm. G. Boyle of Shakespeare, New Mexico, is on the way down from San ta Fe with some New York and Bos ton capitalists to examine into the va rious resources of the great south west in general and of the Shakespeare mines in particular.
 The surveyors of the Southern Pa. cItic railroad have run their line through the western side of the town of Mesilla and on due east towards the Soledad Pass which is east of Me. silla in the Organ mountains. They will no doubt pass through SOledad Pass as it is the only pass they can get through the mountains east of us without going about one hundred miles north or fifty or sixty miles south. This Company proposes to build a transcOntinental southern route from the Pacific ocean to the Gulf, and they propose to make it bee line as near as possible. Mesilla is fortu- nate to be on the direct route of the main line.-Mesilla News.

A letter was received last Thursday by our townman, Mir. George Cooler, written by Col. Boyle from Santa Fe. The Colonel is on his way to Shakes pere, N. NJ, to commence vigorous operations on his recently acquired mining properties there. The letter states that abundant capital has been secured and that four strong compan- ies have been formed for the purpose of developing the Shakespeare mines. With the large quantities of ore vlsi- ble, shert railroad to the Gila, exten- sive and economical crushing power in the line of stamp mills run by water power, with abundant capital to begin and cautious management to continue, it is believed that large pro fits can be made. Col. Boyle also ex presses a hope that he may soon be able to secure!some of Arizona's valu- able prospects.

A letter was received today by Mr Samuel Hughes from his brother Thomas, living at Crittenden, stating that the body of German ranchei had been found near his ranche on the Sonoita, and that in all probability he is another victim of the raiding band of savages. Of course the people in that section are little nervous on ac- count of the recent depredations.
 The letter also contains the sad in telligence of the death of a little son of NIT. Thomas Gardner, who was killed by lightning last Friday. It is stated on the street that the child was in its mothers arms when killed and the mother received a very serious shock.

IN 17S2 specimens of the cinnamon jack-fruit and mango were sent to the botanic garden of the island of Jama- cai. There the cinnamon was care fully fOstered, but proved to be diff ticult of culture in the island; while the mango, which was neglected, be- came in eleven years as common as the oranges, spreading over lowlands and mountains, from the sea level to 5000 feet elevation. On the abolition of slavery, immense tracts of land, es- pecially coffee plantations, relapsed into state of nature, and the mango being a favOrite fruit with the blacks its stones were flung everywhere, giv- ing rise to groves along the roadsides and around the settlements; and the fruit of these, again, rolling down hill, gave rise to forests in the valleys. The effect of this spread of the mango has been to cover hundreds of thousands of acres, and to ameliOrate the climate of what were dry and barren districts by producing moisture and shade, and by retaining the rainfalls that had previously evaporated :; all this, besides affording food for several months of the year to both negroes and horses Rural Press.

STOCKTON. CAL. July 24. 1879

STOCKTON, CAL, July 24, 1879.
 JNo. J. GOsPER, EsQ.-Having been appointed by a former Governor of your Territory, to visit your insane, look after their well-being, and report the same to you or some other officer of your commonwealth, have made reports to Mes.rs. Hoyt and Fremont. From the latter I have had no answer, hence this present report to you:
 You have in the Asylum at present, nine males and two females. They are all well cared for, and all their necessities attended to. The rooms are we'll ventilated and clean. Their board good, and clothing comfortable. Yards and recreation grounds ample for double the number of patients they have at the present time. The cOndi- tion of the patients mentally, varies very much at different times, and some of them doubtless, could be sent back to you, and might remain away for two or three months, but you would be to the expense of a recom- initial and expense back to the asy- lum.
 Of these I might mention Mary Sawyer and q Mir. Zeekey, who are quite rational and seemingly all right for weeks at a time, and then they will take change and require constant watching and restraint for the same length of time. Fitchgerald has i'm proved in his mental condition since he came, much more calm, and is do ing we'll. Carrie Jansen is no better than when sent here Edwin DeBaum died April 15, 1879, of consumption. The rest show no improvement men, tally. Physically they are doing well.
