COMMUNICATION.
Editor ST. JOHNS HERALD:

Editor ST. JOHNS HERALD:
 write from your neighboring town of Holbrook, which always flourisheth. The town in the pine cleft of the San Franciscos is steadily prosperous When friends speak of hard times, the assur- ance follows that "the money is in the vaults, and will find it's way out" We are confident that an era of p prosperity dawns for Arizona in the near future.
 Your neighbors watch with interest the courage and progress of Apache county in righting her affairs. The pro- gress is clearly genuine. Advancing she standard of private and public morality and business integrity will soon render fraud so hazardous as to be prohibitory. For years to come some will count it smart to steal, but they are not likely to commit such a crime when it is made universally odious and punishment be- comes sure. So ye editor seems to think of polygamous Mormonism. Good citizens rejoice that justice has reached some of those bold opposers of law, de- cency and order. We hope to see the monstrous crime against the sacred in- stitutions of the family and christian civilization obliterated from our goodly territory. The steady blows of THE HERALD are telling, and the unite l in- fuences of opposition are becoming in- vincible. We like the discrimination and fairness evinced in your warfare against polygamy. Victory is certain. It must be abiding. The best interests of the country are involved, and the people are with you in the conflict.
 Truly yours, J. T. P.

 Nothing particularly definite has been reported concerning the mail robbery near Zuni bridge, except there may have been engaged in it four men, two
 'hold-ups" and two accomplices on the lookout.

It is now at the post-office awaiting instructions from the Inspector at San Francisco, who has been fully advised by special messenger to the tel egraph station, at Navajo 4 ragged slit is cut about two feet lengthwise of the pouch through which much of the contents can be seen. Several parcels can be seen and show distinctly that they were not mutilated.
 The testimony in verys interesting land case is being taken before Alfred Ruiz, clerk ot the district court. The parties to the suit are John H. Nichol- son contestant, and Jose Padilla, con- testee. The contestant is represented by T. s. Bunch and M. V. Howard of the Apache county bar, and the contes- tee by Colonel L. F. Eggers, ol the Pres colt bar. Many witnesses on each side have been summoned to testify, and their examination will probably con- sume two weeks.
