 Secretary Gospcr has written us that he cannot reasonably expect to reach Prescott before Christmas. He wants to visit Wash ington City and assist Mr. Campbell in ob- taining an appropriation for building road over the Mogollon. We really hope he may be the means of procuring an appropriation as Mccormick and Stafford are both too busy to assist Mr. Campbell.
 DESTRUCTION OF FIsu We are told by l Mr. Ledden, who is plying between the l Verde and Prescott, selling ali kinds of | wild and tame fowls, fish, etc, that great | havoc and destruction of fish has been | made by people on the Verde by discharg- | ing giant powder in the water He in- forms us that he has seen several wagon | loads dead along the banks of the stream, and that unless this practice is done away with soon, the Verde river will be destitute | of the piscatorial tribe. It is altogether | too expensive fo= Arizona.
 GOLDEN ERA QUARTZ MILL From par lies who arrived from Smithville last even ing we learn that the company's quartz mill Is about completed. The rock crusher was set to work on Wednesday and performed ts part in the programme 10 a charm. The stamps will be set in motion on Monday and we hope to hear good results from this new mill and town in few days. The ore coming from the Mammoth is reported to be richer and richer as the shaft goes down. It is the hope of al that this enterprise will prove to be a lasting success.
