 NEW PoTAToEs.-Weha have to thank Judge John Howard for box of potatoes, ot this years production, winch were raised on the ranch of R. B. Carley, Tempe, Maricopa County. Mr. Carley has, we understand, been lucky with his Murphy crop, and didn't forget his friends in Prescott.
 Judge Howard has been on a trip to Yuma. He returned this morning with the epizootic which settled on him, caused prob ably. by an overdose of that highly delight ful and, to the Pima Indians, healthful bev- erage of epson Salts water found at the ter minus of the s. P. R. R, where the admirers of re,renchment, reform and thelr country would have headquarters located. Never mind Judge, few days rest and bath in Prescott water will set you all right. Judge Howard don't want any more Maricopaville | mixed in his. He'll take it straight. If the business men of Prescott would | petition the Western Union Company to | extend their inc to Prescott, we beheye | they would dO so. Prescott is the princi- | pal town of the richest territory in the | Union, which is destined to very soon enter | on the list 9s a State. and to be dependent on | the Government rattle-trap for important | news is perfectly ridiculous. Prescott wants q large telegraph office, good line, and general manager. who will see that mes sage can be sent 200 hundred miles a-d an- swer received quicker than by mail
 THE POoR MAN-Mr. Ferguson, is ex- hibitihS specimens of gold hearing rock from the Poor Man Mine, in Bradshaw Mountain, that are superior to anything We have seen for many day. He represents pay streak to exist in the mine that is eight inches thick and that the rock shown us is a sample of it. If that be so, it is good, for the sample at a rough guess must be worth not less than S15O,OOO to the ton. Ii Is too rich to entrust to a mill or any reduction works except hand mortar.
 TIE PECK TRoUBLEs.-The Jury in the ease of the Peck Mining Co. vs E G Peck, a at for taking the Peck mine by force and holding it Tn like manner, resulted in the finding of verdict for the plaintiffs to that extent that the mine was being held by i force. According to law Peck has five days before yielding up possession. Wei , that the defendant applied to Judge Porter for an order directing the ap- pointing of a receiver and that officer des- ignated Judge IT, Brooks as receiver | through whose hands the proceeds will have ' lo pass, for the present, at least.
