 1 For skill and handiwork ot one of our craft we have seen nothing to
 equal a six-column advertisement in
 the Topeka Commonwealth. The compositor who had this "take" was
 a frsI-class printer and the firm whose advertisement it is are mer-
 chants who deserve the patronage of
 any people.
 Ira Stroud returned from the Vul-
 lure this morning to spend the holi.
 days in Phoenix. He reports every
 thing as booming at that camp. The
 mill has been running steadily and
 a cleanup was made s few days
 since, the result of which he did not hear. He informs us that there are
 but few idle men in camp and that
 the eighty-stamp mill, large as it is. has hardly made any perceptiblc diff
 ference in the size of the enormous dump piles.
 We hope that the young boys of Phoenix, who attend the performance of the Nellie Boyd troupe, will not get the reputation upon themselves that the gamins and hoodlums of San Francisco have. The rude and boisterous conduct that began to crop out ought to be stopped. and | we hope the boys will see themselves that to act as genteel and well raised | youths is far better than the reputa- ton of hoodlumism. Let the troupe leave Phoenix with the pleasure of testifying to the good behavior of our rising generation.
 William Green and several others who are mining in Tonto Basin, were in town Saturday. They report things as booming in the Basin They came in town to buy large quantity of provisions, amounting in value to about $500, and state that they can save money by buying here instead of Globe as everything is much cheaper. Now this confirms our statements of few weeks past. the Globe Chronicle to the contrary notwithstanding. The parties re- ferred- to tell us that the distance of .cn miles, the difference between Globe and Tonto Basin, and Phoenix md the same place, is nothing to hem, but it pays them well to travel hat distance further and come here. The center of tradu is bound to be I PhGnix.
