You can readily see by these figures that the farmer and miller in Phenix has the advantage over Los Angeles from 5000 to Sl0 50 per ton, out of winch difference the teamiDg charges can be paId to MarIcopa, as these charges do t exceed $500 per ton and are often only SiO0 when teamsters are guaranteed back freight.
 When your railroad Is built to Mari copa these charges will no doubt be greatly reduced, which will give your section additional advantages over Los Angeles.
 To enable your farmers to have market for their surplus wheat our com pany has transported large quantities of 1t to Galveston, Texas, and are now en- deavoring to have the Galveston millers use it in place of wheat from Kansas.

The last brought down over one hun dred thousand dollars in gold dust. The next will bring down two hundred and fifty thousand dollars in gold dust, all from one mine and mill near Juneau City.
 The government will not permit one drop of whiskey to enter Alaska, or any other kinds of liquor. Even ale and porter cannot enter; and yet there are in Juneau City twenty-two saloons, anc all doing a rushing business. So mucl for prohibItiOn."-LOs Angeles Herald

The Yaqui War.
(San Diss1 Sun. Aug. Tl

1 iSan Uleeu sun. Aug. t.l
 Colonel M. A. Terrer, of thts city, has received another letter from General | CarbO, ComraI. ', T-in- Chief of the ar mics in the State of Sinalos and Sonora, and the Territory ot Lower California,
 who IS at present fighting tbe 1aqm and Mayo Indians in Sonora. The let- ter k dated Guay mus, July 3lst, srriv- ing here on the evening of the 4th of August. by way of Nogales and Benson. l In Eis letter General Carbo states that IL k raining. IL IS his opinion that GcLtr.i Cuieme, Cf the YaauIs and Ma yOs, wiil be compelled to surrender Tn few days. In case they don't with a tOrtiia nud s cigsritO the Federal troops csu Gght day and night without stopping. not needing any other food to sustain them. It IS General CarbO's de- terminRtiOn either to have them sur render or sill every solitary one of them To show the character of the General we append the following from the Call of July 18th:
 General Carbo, of the Mexican aTmy now cOu. mandIng m Sonora, and wag- Ing war against the rebelliOus Gaquls, IS a man more generally feared than loved CT admiTed. His late savage order to bring before him. either dead or alive, the person Ot NOgales editor who has been SO unfortunate as to incur hIs war path, is but an example of the ferOclty which prompted him to issue the com mand. for 1t Is we'll known that when General CarbO IS offended with any one that man, woman or chlld suffers the extremess cruelties, and more often death; and should the unhappy journal ist fail into the hands of this savage military man, It is more than certain that he will welcome violent ending.
 
 AVIAN OF BLOOD.
 General Carbo's appearance bore out the iustness of the Mexican's remark. A short man Is the General; not over four feet six inches in height; his hair IS jet black; his eyes small. It IS sin ister face, showing neither pity nor courage. A brutal face in every respect with its heavy jaw, heavy nose, heavy lips and heavy mustache. A face one would immediately imagine that could see with ruthless eyes and unmoved couutenance the performance of un- heard of cruelties. Like a tiger in bis terOcity is the General. He was sdress- ed m unifOTm-an ill-fittiDg tuDie, with huge red epAulets, which seemed to cover the entire shoulder and blade, great strap around bis waist, vhi,h hid nearly the body and chest, and attached to huge sword. He irTesi- tIbly re- minded one of some wretched fly through whose body had been wantOnly pierced a big darnIDg-needle.

The large amount of expenses on Con tlEgent fund for 1885 is easily explained by the advertising and printing of elec- ton blanks for the Calabasas Railroad Company, the publication of voluminous proceedings Of the Board Of Supervisors ln that matter; also the purchase ef books and printing of blanks for the new county court, all of which bills are audIted by law from that fund.

True Politeness.

A poor Arab going through the des-
ert met with a sparkling spring. Ac-
customed to brackish water, a draught
from this sweet well IN the wilderness
seemed, in his simple mind, a present
ftt for the caliph. SO he filed leather
bottle, anC, after q weary tramp, laid
his gift at his sovereign's feet.
The monarch, with a magnanimity
that may put many Christian 10 blush,
called for cup and drank freely, and
then with a smile thanked the Arab and
presented him with reward.
The couriers pressed eagerly around
for draught Of the wonderful water
which was regarded as worthy such a
princely acknowledgment. TO their
surprise, the caliph forbade them to
touch drop. Then after the simple
hearted giver left the royal presence
with a new spring Of JOY yelling Up 10
his heart, the monarch explained the
motive Of his prohibition.
During the long journey the water
in the leather bottle had become impure
and dlstasteful; but ii was an Offering
OF love, and as srch accepted 1t with
pleasure. / feared, however, that if i
allowed another to taste IL he would not
conceAl his disgust. Therefore IL was
that I forbade you to parfake, lest the
heart Of the poor man be wounded"
