l. is generally concealed that the
Castle Creek road is Of unusual i'm
portance to Ph9nix, and the build
ing Of it has beea urged as necessary
to secure that trade M. j. d
Shriver circulated q subscription
list yesterday and secured sigma
tnres fer four hundred dollars to be
applied to This plrposc. He is quite
familiar with the line and thinks the
building of the road from here to
Aqua Fiia will be attended with u
very moderate expense. Mr.. ShrI-
yer has before been interested Ia the
Castle Creek road, with q Mr.. Pat
terson, now of Illinois. This is a
matter of congratulatisu, aud when
the road is buili it should be kept in
repair.
Christmas will come on Monday,
ten days away. There is very little
amusement for the pn,lic. The la
dies will give ball, which will be
attended by invited parties who care
for that kind of amusement. There
will be races short distance in the
country at the r Jberts' race-track
A bails for the Mexicans. Tne 9th
er Phenicians who de not wish to
enjoy any Of these sports Or to lis:en
to the music in .he saloons can stand
around en- the corners and whistle.
What a treat would be musical
in which the yarious
m musicians of Phpuix would engage,
giving US rare songs, brilliant piano
solos, with the excellent orchestra
that could be org oniz-d with so lit
tie trouble.
We saw, yesterday, a "Wauga-
mans Gold Dry Washer" which
Mr.. w. K. Syme was taking out to
the placers above Sex mour. 1t is of
very simple construction with screen,
rifles, and bellows, all worked by
crank turned b. two m=n. 1t has u
capacity OF about fifteen tons per
d y. Mr. Syme has tested the ma
chine and considers it very service
able. 1t is well known that Arizona
is rich, immensely rich, in gold
placers, but the lack of water rem
ders them unproductive. The great
nssl Of such districts is an effective,
portable, dry-wa~h machine, into
which dirt can be shovelcd without
previous screening. Placer mining
gives uniform wealth and quick re-
turns. 1t is the placer mine that
makes money plentiful.
