some very rich silver groupings

PERSONAL NOTES.
We cannot forbear a tribute 10
the cordially and hospitality OF
every one we met at Stanwix. The
large Yuma house of James M.
Barney G. Co. is represented by Mr..
r. NJ. Phillips, a most courteous
and accommodating gentleman,
whom we had the pleasure of know
ing in San Diego. David Neahr,
also, has a store at Stanwix. His
agent, Mr.. Williams, was formerly
in the empty of the Southern Pa
cIfic in Los Angeles. We found
him the soul of hospitality. The
genial and great hearted Mr.. Grif'
fifth, of the Kerens & Mitchell
Stage Line, is also at Stanwix. Mr..
George Tying, the talented editor
of that sterling aud able sheet, the
Yuma Sentinel,was very polite and
communicative. He was starting
out on a trip to Inspect the newly
discovered mines at Stanwix. In
addition to his journalistic and lit
erary accomplishments, Mr.. Tying
is an experienced practical miner.
He is one of the Directors of the
Arizona Pacific and, withal, a gen.
tlemau of extensive reading and
great energy Of character. We ran
across another old San Diego &C.
quaintauce of ours in the person of
Hon. Sam Purdy, Jr., who had just
returned from the session of the
Arizona Legislature, Of which he is
a member, and which sits at Pres
colt. The Honorable Sam has just
been appointed County Judge and
Superintendent of Public Instruc-
tion of Yuma county. Honors are
thickening around his shapely head
and we are right glad to think that
he has made his mark in the terri
tory.
Our own party was an eminently
pleasant one, comprising Col. Hew-
lit, who went out to formally open
the new station, the junior Mr..
Mansfield and his accomplished
wife, and Mr.. I. w. Stackpole.
Several lunch baskets, which spoke
of notable housekeeper, the con.
tents of which were charmingly
dispensed by Mrs. Mansfield, were
highly appreciated at stages of the
journey critical to the stomachs of
the voyagers. AS for Col. Hewitt
his Jonhommie and thoroughness
are we'll understood by his legion
of friends, and, as a travelling COM
panion and raconteur, Tom Stack
pole has few superiors.
And so, with hearty thanks to
the many courteous gentlemen to
whom We are under heavy obliga-
tions, we started ON our homeward
trip, arriving in the San Gorgonio
Pass just in time to see old "Gray-
back" bathed in an amethyst dye
by the rising sun and to partake of
a superb breakfast at Cotton. Every
Angeleiio should see Arizona at
least once if only to reconcile him.
self to the beautiful valley in which
his own lot is cast and to which no
is right glad to return.
