 CTS iackass or Ellibee's donkey train, bu
 their sensitive tymparums have heard tn
 echo of numerous tales during the pas
 week. Consequently my correspondence may prove as disturbing as damiana cock
 tail at vespers. For ten long eventfull year
 my fortune has been cast on the so called
 border of civilization. I have held aloo from long winded sermons, have missed my accustomed Sunday school teachings and al
 we'll the bible class girls, been as free as ; lark from society's cramped life; lived worked and struggled with the worlds miners Thank God for the the ten years | spent i'll Arizona, the land of the bright sun the beautiful skies monstrous plains, tower ing mountains and mighty cahons, cactus dee signs, lizards, horned toads, Indians and every other natio Il, and then our ricl mineral wealth. of every character, good health, poor whisky, all is summed up. To day the locomotive is at New Blackberry and heavily laden trains are pushing on ward as the twin rails are laid towards the Rio Colorado and Lizardville. Local news is the cry of the editor.
 I hear of several new enterprises being projected i'll our nieghbOrhood.
 Cohn, Ridenour, Tillman and others are digging for water in the gulch fronting the store of Wollenburg < Go. This was ren- dered necessary on account of the water having been locked up by the Indian Queen mill and mining company of New Jersey. 1 hear they propose to irrigate an onion patch below the spring and SOW cranberry seed on Goose fiat, below the late barber shop. This will be of much profit to the stockholders Of the company under its present admirable management. This com pany has recently come into possession of the property known as the Blackberry mine and mill. I explain this so there may be no misconception.
 Messrs. Ridenour and Kendall are put ting up building for an assay office.
 Dr. Day has had a lot of adobes piled up near his log museum for some time, which he proposes to stick into structure to hold drugs now coming on from the East. He says he will try and make it large enough to hold one of those vaccine scabs from Miner al Park.
 Spencer and Cohn have gone to the river for their cattle.
 Dawson and Peyton are doing good bus mess ill theiI saloon, boarding house and corral. They are both first rate men and Judge Dawson, lately appointed Justice of the Peace, will deal on the square with everyone.
 Fred Nobnan is browsing around as usual. He has put good deal of money where 1t is safe, ill the bottom of wells.
 James Dundon says he is going to put ill another stock of goods.
 Col. Thornlow has gone to California to see his family.
 Some of our people are iii but oonvales- cling. Our medical directors perambulators SCOUT them out and some of them are as active as a croton oil plaster and as hot, too.
 was at the railroad to-day attending to the plot of New Blackberry. Found every body kindly disposed towards the enter prise.
 Some parties are going to bring water from Cottonwood for Lottaville. So they say. Presume burro train will start from there soon.
 There are several structures up on our town-site of New Blackberry.
 Our Lizardville company is rushing mat ters. We are put to it for names for our monsters. One of our third class reptiles was named (after local enterprise pro- jected some time ago near Beal Springs, now Kingman and LizardYille) Cerbat-M Min ing Company This monster is one of the devils unaccountable, and, after mature deliberation we have concluded to change the name and give him an Indian cognomen, so we now call him Adobe-froze- 'em-out. We have aimed to get trusty agents for our company and avoid any settlements by ar bitration or any conflict, consequently our cGtliug-stem-w -winder gun is in shape for emergencies, The demand for my photo graph has inflicted a debt of twenty-seven hundred dollars on our company for my services as an object. If it is not fully satisfied soon there will be a little Hades raised. I hear some of our opponents are letting their tongues run like a clapper to a mill sail and swinging around like the arms of Dutch wind mill, but so long as we can get Gila monsters and sell them to Kaiser Conrad for beef our Lizard Development company has no fears of the present or care for the hereafter. Our stock can live on boarding house flies, winch breed fast, and as we'll keep their backs warm with the glorious Lizardville sunshine and the pow erful five hundred horse power nine-mile- cable electric reflector we are to put up on our observatory, now nearly compieted.-I We will have to provide against foes within and without It is well known our force of herders is small and we will not run any risks. We find amputating the tails of our stock will save hobbies. So one more ad vantage is sGorad tq our scheme. We shall use the ether spray in the curtailment of oaudal appendages and thus avoid all con- flict with the society for the prevention of cruelty to reptiles. INcoGNTTo,
