strcets put m condi ton in which they will not be disgrace to those who reside upon them Moreover, there arc many Improvements that could be made without going 10 extra expense; for instance, if, when the street ditches are cleaned, the
 lazy habit of pillng the cleanings on the edge of the street were abandon ed aud the men made to place them in the center of the street, in course of time water might flow from the
 middle of the street instead of in'o it as al present. Again, in some To-
 calties the ditchcs are widened at
 each cleaning till they now form u small canal four, five, or six feet wide, till they have become regu lar frog pond and nuisance to the neighborhood. On maay of the streets there are no culverts to the crossings and the result is that teams cut the banks out and the water floods the street. In other localities, such narrow, awkward, and ungain-- ly culverts are put in that soma time

THE Reavis organ, a few days ago, flom is cowardly refuge of low lived buse, intimated that the HERALD was hopelessly in debt. We have this to say in regard 10 that dirty fling: the HERALD owes not cent that it is not amply able to pay and can pay without selling Its princi> ples to the highest bidder and con ni7iug with frauds to rob the people of the valley. Neither is it neces- sary for its proprietor to advertise a rortion of his property for sale in various Territorial papers ip order 10 2 along in business. The resort of g thief is always 10 yell T hicf? hoping thereby to bind the public HIS to the facts. X newspaper, like | man that is afraid 10 fight an honor able fight. may be regarded as scouudrelly in whatever position you find it, when it can only make dis honorable and false attacks upon a colcmporary-not only false but ma liciously false with a deliberate at tempt to lnJure the credit and busl' ness of a rival. Such a course very certainly indicates but une thing-ar imbecile jealousy at the thrift o i others.

 EDITOR HERALD:-A new di>cov- cry has recently been made which viii be of considerable bencflt to this valley. A rariy consisting of A.B. Wiley and others have located some inc lime ledge, about thirty miles north of Phoenix. which are of extra good quality. The rock or marble winch it really is-is found Tn ledge form, and is carbon- ate of lime. The ledges are from two to four feet in width, and are ye.y clear and white. There are many tons Tn sight, and it is thought hy jud. .cs who have examined tie lime burned from the rock, to be as good as the best California lime. Wood and water are handy, and lhe owners will b gin next week to burn lime for this market ThIs is a very important enter prise, and will add another industry to Maricopa coun> ty, as there will be e great demand for lime in the rear future. and we believe this will lead 10 another |s round In the lad fer, for from these same lodges of maI Die can be man ufac ured the very finest of grave stones, and marble slahs f'r other pu. poses. for this is a very fine qual iiy of white marble, easily cut, anC will polish nicely. The distance tC haul this lime will be about tn same as from Maricopa ard can b farnisbed cheaper than CaliforDI lime.
