At CHRISTMAS TIME.

Though fields and meadows brown and bar
The ermiDed cloaks OF winter wear,
And breezes blowing sharp and cold
Proclaim the year is growing old;
The embers glow upon the hearth;
Within the housed cheerful mirth:
And through the world the joy-bells chime
At Christmas tmel
At Christmas time, old wrongs forgot,
Past feuds and fears remembered not.
We meet and greet the faithful friends
Who for life's losses make amends.
All evil passions we subdue:
All kindly graces we renew;
Peace-and goOd-will-are in their prime
At Christmas timeI
As travellers on their journey stop
To view the scene from mountain top
So on this height we pause and feel
The airs of heaven around us steal.
Rich with the scent of Eden flowers:
New songs we sing; new life is ours
And love, and Hope, and Joy sublime
At Christmas time!

Another Bonanza for Yuma.

A few days since, we were pleased to meet with MT. H. ManwarIng, an agent of the Cali. fornia Powder Works.
 MT. M. came here for the pur- pose of prospecting the "Promen- torio" Sulphur mines, situated on the Lerdo Colony, some sev, enty-five miles below Yuma.
 The agent comes here we'll ar- med with all proper credentials from Mir. Blythe, the managing agent of the Lerdo Colony
 There cannot he any doubt that these owners nave large and ex tensive mine of sulphur, as have been reported.
 Prof. Rice has examanined this mine, and says that the mine is evidently the deposit of large crater, and without further pros- pecting or development, there is ar least 1000 tons in sight. Alum is also formed here, and averag- Ing 90 per cent.
 Boyax, nitre and cinnabar have been picked up in this To- cality.

Cattle Dome Mines.

Thirtv-five miles from Yuma, here are the Castle Dome mines, about twenty miles from the Col orado River, in Yuma County.
 They are said to be the best paying and average minesin Ari- zona. The character of the mines is first principally "galena car rying with it silver. Here in Castle Dome is a rich mining and mineral county. We condemn monopolies, and while we advo, cate the enterprise of the Castle Dome Mining Company, we, nev- ertheless condemn it's one-horse and selfish spirit. They have
 
 enjoyed for years past, the pri' villages and usurpation of a cor poration to the exclusion of the prospector and every other man. The Castle Dome Mining Com pany has given to the world to know that they, control a whole District and no room is left for the coming prospector. This is false and wrong MT. Castle Dome Mining man, and don't try to monopolize the rights of the poor miner. We will follow you. for you have done wrong, by your abettors and strickers, Tn saying that, all the mines were |" taken up." Stay with tus, miners, and we will help you to develop your mines and mining interest. Cas- tie Dome is rich galena country and one of the richest mines in Arizona, and in our next issue we will propose to let the public know wh ether w. P. Miller of Castle Dome, owns the whole county, or whether the honi est prospector can find any vacant mines there.

Verbum Sat Sapienti.

We are Catholics ourselves, and appreciate the benevolent disposi- tion and liberality of that church people but we do condemn the want Of neglect of our people to enclose the Catholic Cemetery, which is in the very heart of the town. Enclose it by ali means.
 Turn yourself loose, Father Chacot, and protect the bodies of the dead as you have prayed for the souls of the living. A few public spirited friends built your seats for the church and we are still willing to impale your dead-and pay for it, too.
 Make a move, and the graves of our friends will escape the rav- ages of the burros and cayottes.

At some future time. when subscribers and advertisers pay and we shall feel ourselves lit tie flush, we propose 10 pay a visit to these springs and a trib' bute to their excellence. They are on the land of MT. David Neahr and is fast because a place of resort we are told that these springs are not inferior to the Calestoga " or "Paso Robles :" springs. The medicinal charac- ter and properties of the springs are highly spoken of by both, visitors and medical men. The advance of Arizona will soon bring this property to the f.ont as a medical and salutary retreat.
