TurKey Creek District.

Of this district, although one of the oldest
 and best in Yavapai Coenty, but little has heretofore been said, but now, as its i'm
 meuse value is becoming known to the out | side world it takes rank with the best in the
 Territory, and some of the mines, ere long,
 will be among the most prominent in the country Great activity prevails there at present in anticipation of the coming boom
 From gentlemen just i'll from that section, we glean the following: A large number of men are at work on the Tuscumbia mine and mill; ore is being daily taken and crushed in paying quantities. To Mr. Ed Gobin, superintendent of the mine, too much praise cannot be given for hIs efforts in developing the mines of that section, and if Arizona had a few more men of his sort, there would be no cause of complaint.
 MT. Holmes, owner of the Holmes mine, has commenced work on the Holmesite, an extension of the former. Several tons of ore, recently taken from the Holmes, have recently been worked, from which the owner realized S50S ton.
 McAuiitf Bros. have suspended work on their mines for the present, the cold weather proving too much for them. Work is being pushed on the Peerless extension by Messrs. Brady < Brown, the owners. They have sunk an 80 foot shaft on the mine and struck ! fine body of silver ore. On the Continen- tai and Sucker mines, owing to the absence of the superintendent. nothing is being done
 Altogether the camp presents lively ap- pearance, and on the arrival of the iron horse in this county, it will show the world | ,nnrit

CHRISTMAS.
nv T WJNANS

BY J. wINANs. Christmas Is coming! there's life in the sount Of Times fieeting coursers, that OCT tn,
 crisp ground, Are dashing and clattering-rcckless Q ! rest To bring to oar borders the right welcom, guest. For Christmas, glad Christmas, warm greet
 ings be given, The time-honored stranger, bluff, hearty and strong; Dull care for while from each bosom b. driven, To hail his returning with joyance and ss1g. Merrily, merrily, Troll we our rhyme; For Christmas, glad Christmas, With carol and chime! Christmas is coming What frolic and glee; What festive achievement of high minstrelsie; Carousings, and revels, and lays of quaint rhyme, Cheer'd his advent far back in the good olden time: Through ths castle's arch'd gateway proud cavalcades rode, The lordly board groan'd meath it's generous load, While thronsing retainers-with wassail and shout Rehearssd their bold ventures ct battle and rOut.
 Cheerily, cheerily,
 Peald their blithe song;
 While roof and red rafter
 The cadence prolonged Christmas is coming.-glad news for the poor! For sorbid abundance will then from its store Bring gifts to enliven the lowliest cot; To soften the rigors of penury's lot: Aye, blessings on Christmas! he opens the heart He bids all its kindreds warm sympathies start .- From their fast frozen fountains, insenats and drear, To gush forth in rivers of bounty and cheer.
 Merrily, merrily,
 Troll we our rhyme,
 For Christnas, glad Christmas,
 With carol and chime. Christmas is coming! When Yuls fires shall glow, And parlors grow green with the mistlstoe bough. Around the church column, through chamber and hall, Athwsrt tho broad chimney, and over the wall, Let cvergreens cluster in wreath and fes- toon- The work of soft fngers-a holiday boon; Let myrtle, and holly, and noble old pine, In leaiy redundance their foliage twine.
 Daintily, daintily,
 Weave the dense screen,
 To robe merry Chri.tmas
 In mantle of green! Christmas is coming.-let gladness abound While the jest and the story go laughingly round; While the table smiles gaily in opulent pride, And bright, merry faces surround the fire side; Though long and in sadness abroad they may roam, lis Christmas that summons the wanderers | home; That gilds with new lustre the family chain, Ind rivets each lnk that was broken again. |
 Nerrily, merrily,
 Troll We our rhyme
 For Christmas, dear Christmas-
 With carol and chime!

railroad building on an extensive
scale. 1t does not seem disposed
to wait for the slow progress

is about to be made to the Provincial
Legislature for charters for three several
railroads, all starting from Winnipeg,
the capital of Manitoba, and terminating
at the United States frontier. The Win
nipeg Southern is to run to West Lynne,
on the boundary line between Manitoba
and the United States. The Winnipeg
Southeastern is projected to strike the
United States boundary in the State of
Minnesota, and an act of incorporation
is asked for 8 third railroad, to be known
as the Winnipeg and West Lynne, which
would seem to be competing line with
the Winnipeg Southern. The South
eastern will probably form connection
with one of the roads leading to st. Paul,
Minnesota. The other two, if both are
built, will connect by branch rosd with
the Northern Pacific, to which it prom
Uses to be an important tributary. as the
distance from Winnipeg to Duluth is but

The Revs. Beecher and Tslmage, says
the ELeUdted Railaoay Journal, are hold
ing FeViVsls in Brooklyn, afording most
enjoyable variety entertainments to the
ignorant and excitsbIe rabble whose life
almost depends upon sensatiOGalisp, and
disgusting true Christian men and
women who believe that regeneration
can alone be wrought by the Holy Spirit,
and that sinners can be converted only
through its quickening power. Such
people detest quackery, especially when
it assumes the livery of Heaven, dis
graces the pulpit. and defiles religion.

effrontery to advertise themselves as re-
