GGLEET,r AND TIGER MINE
 WAGON ROAD.

The first set of wagon road com missioners to get their bonds issued and commence work are the ones intrusted with building the road from Gillett to the Tiger mine. The build ing of this particular road is of vast importance to Phoenix and the Salt river country, and It is greatly to be hoped the commissioners will make a wise, practical and economical eN- penditure of the twenty thousand dollars placed in their hands for that purpose. MT. Rowe. of Gi!lett, of the firm of Andrews < Rowe, will no doubt be the controlling spirit in all this enterprise, and to him in par ticular, or to him more than to any other one man will the public look fer faithful and busincss-like dis burscment of the money for the abOyc purpose.

IN a recent issue of the EhteJprtss we notice a communicated article re- fiecting somewhat upon the ability of Professor Sherman to manage the affairs of the public schools of Pres colt, and at the same time discharge the duties of the office of superin- tendent of public instructions. The article was evidently written more to please personal prejudice than to serve the public good. The animus is plain MT Sherman IS fully capa- ble to fill both places, and his host of friends will sustain him.

TIE first issne of two-ccnt Dem ocratic moring paper, the Chicago Herald, was published March '17th. It is under the management of Ham llton S. Weeks and John W. Ryck- man. Walter Trumbull, formerly of the New York Sun, is managing editor and NJ. L. Holden city editor. The paper is a seven-column folio al- most identical in size and appearance of the New York Sun. It will be the only out-and-out democratic pa per in Chicago. The proprietors say it is we'll backed by capital and is not a campaign paper, but has come to stay.

THE IStzrer Belt, in commenting on the article in the HERALD a few weeks since about the threatened break of the San Carlos Indians, says:
 Mir. McIntosh's warning was pri- vately given the commanding officer at Mcdowell with a view of putting the military in possession of facts in order to prevent an outbreak, and not to blow it abroad through the columns of the Phoenix HERALD. How the HERALD become possessed of that information the editor and his informant alone can tell.
 The HERALD has a way of obtain ing news peculiar to itself, and in laying before our readers the very latest news, we display considerable enterprise.

4 FEW weeks since we published a law, stating that it had passed, rela- ting to butchers and the way of con- ducting their business.

The Miner and Citjsel made a synopsis of the law from the HERALD without credit. They both have our permission to make the correction.

called after its inventor, Hunters screw" is used Hunters screw con sists of two screws, working one within the other, in such way that as the larger descends the smaller as cends, though not quite so far The difference between the distances of the threads in the two screws deter mines how far on the whole the screw advances. With Hunters screw, therefore, the power produces pres sure as many times greater than it. self as the difference between the respective distances of the threads in the two screws is contained in the circle described by the power. The wheel is moro largely used in ma chinery than any other of the me chanical powers. Several wheels in one machine are called train. In train of two wheels the one that i'm parts the motion is called the driver; the one that receives it is called the follower There arc three ways in which motion may be transmitted from one wheel to another; first, by the friction of it's circumference; second by a band, and third by teeth on their outer rim. One wheel may be made to move another by means of a band passed round both circumfer-  ence; such a band is known as a wrapping conductor or belt There are three kinds ot toothcd wheels, viz: Spur wheels, crown wheels and bevel wheels. Spur wheels have their teeth perpendicular to their axes. The teeth are either made in one piece with the rim, or consist of separate pieces set into the rim. In the latter case they are called cogs- In mills cog-wheels are generally used with trundle5 or lanterns. Crown wheels have their teeth paral- Tel to their axes Bevel wheels are wheels whose teeth form any other angle with their axes than right angle By mechanical power people are kept in food and flour, and their homes are made cheerful by coal drawn from the depth of the earth by an ingenious machine. As the ris ing generation grow up and improve these machines they will never cease to be grateful to their forefathers for their ingenuity and integrity.

AN Iater-OceGn Washington special
 says: Secretary Sherman lately re
 ceived 2 letter from T. W. Phillips of
 North Carolina, enclosing a Confed-
 crate bond for redemption. Phillips
 is evidently up to the spirit of the times, and knows that a Confederate Congress is now sitting in Washing ton. He writes: Enclosed please find one thousand dollar bond of the Confederate States of America, is sued in accordance with the sixth section of the act of the Confederate Congress, February r, 1864 I dc sire to have my bond filed orredemp tion at some future day I believe that q law, making them convertable into United States bonds will be pass ed sooner or later. This view is founded upon the fact that two-thirds ot the present mem bers of the senate and house have been Confederate bondholders. Such law would pro- duce a vast deal ot consolation among the southern people who were made destitute by the war My ob- ject in fling now is to entitle me to take precedence in the time of settle i incnt."

Numerous and different as ma chimes are, they are all com binations
 of six simple mechanical powers
 known as the lever, the wheel and
 axle, the pulley, the inclined plane,
 the wedge and the screw. A lever is
 an infexible bar capable of being
 moved about fixed point called the fulcrum. It is the simplest of the
 mechanical powers and its properties were known as far back as tie time
 of Aristotle, $50 years B. c. ArchI-
 meder, a hundred years later, was the
 first to explain them fully. The
 mechanical powers. It consists of
 a wheel attached 10 q cylinder CT
 axle in such way that when in mo
 ton they revolvc around the same
 axis. The pulley is tle third of the
 mechanical powers. It consists of q
 wheel with a circumference over
 which a rope passes, and an axis or
 pin round which the wheels may be
 made to turn. Pulleys are of two
 kinds-fixed and movable A fixed
 f-alley is one that has a block that cannot be moved and a movable pulley is one that has block that can be moved. Though DO power is gained with the fixed pulley it is often used to change the direction of motion. On ships the pulley is near ly always used. By using the pulley the sails can be hoisted without climbing the mast It is also used in raising large bodies of wood or marble and in hoisting heavy boxes in high warehouses. The inclined plane is the fourtll of the mechanical powers. It is plane surface in- clincd to the bounding line at any angle Every road not perfectly level is an inclined plane. When boxes or anything heavy are to be raised into wagons the work is made less difficult by laying long boards in such q way as to form an inclined plane The marine railway on which ships of great weight are drawn out of the water for repairs is one of the most useful applications Of this ma chine The wedge is the fifth of the ! mechanical powers. It appears in .wo kinds, according to the use for which they are designed In it's first iorm the wedge is only a solid and inclined plane used for -aising great weights a short dis ance. The second kind of wedge las the shape of two inclined planes inited at their bases. It is used for plitting timber and to separate rocks Il quarries. The screw is the sixth
 nd last of the mechanical powers
 t consists Of a cylinder with spiral idge and furrow, winding alternately ound it in parallel curves. The portions of the ridge passing sue essively from one side ot the cylin-
 er to the other are called the threads f the screw. In the exterior or urve screw the ridge and groove are n the outside of the cylinder and in he interior or concave screw the idge and groove are on what may be ngarded as the inside surface of ylinder. There are a great many : inds of screws. Cotton is com I ressed into bales, juices are ex- acted from fruits, coins are stamped nd houses are raised from their f with the aid of the screE-. 2 Then intense pressure is required t lc threads of the screw must be so
 ose together that they are neces- Irily thin and liable to break. To f revcnt this an ingenious contriyancc, 0

\ FEW issues sInce we published an extract from a country paper pub lished in Mississippi, which pur- ported to be an echo of the old rebel yell.

If we cannot elect re- publican president without lying about the south, and without drag ging from it's sepulchre the skeleton of the civil war, without exciting angry passions Of another interDe cine strife, we had better suffer de feat. This journal intends to sup port republican candidate for presi- dent. We hope 10 take an active part in an honorable campaign. We shall be glad to discuss national questions in a dignified and honor able way; but we give notice now, early in the contest, before our battle blood is warmed by the excitement of the strife, that we hope our party headquarters at Washington will send us no stink-pots, for we will not help to explode them.
