each garrison will be frequently drilled
 and instructed in every detail of service
 usual in times of field service and actual
 hostilities, special attention being given
 to skirmish and estimating distance drill.
 Frequent inspections will likewise be
 made of the commands in complete field equipment, and they will be instructed
 in marching, packing and trailing per
 sons and animals, both in levsl and
 broken, or mountainous, country.
 Sd. For the additional purpose of familiarizing officers and soldiers with the country in which they are serving, the department is subdivided into dis tricts of observation as shown on maps to be furnished from this office.
 Each district of obsei vation will embrace the country surrounding CT adjacent to each post, under the super vision of the post commander, and through him reports and maps herein required will be forwarded to the engin- eer officer of the department. Post com manders will see that small scouting and hunting parties, consisting of from two to six men each, are constantly examin- ing and exploring the country within their district, and reporting all new feat ures and changes of interest; and by this means, and personal observation, post commanders will be expected to have a thorough knowledge of Indians occupying or traversing the country, routes of travel, water supplies, settle ments, ranches. and in fact everything relating to the general topography and conditions of the country that will form useful information and add to the eff ciency and availability of troops in these vicinities for any service required.

Tho walnut Grove Road.

To the Honorable Board of Supervisors
 of Yavapai County ia the Territory
 of Arizona:
 A few weeks ago, in the columns of the JoURxAL-MIxER, addressed letter to the public in reference ;o wagon road to Walnut Grove. Evidently that communication has stirred up some ideas among the residents along the lines of other possible routes from Pres colt to Walnut Grove, and understand tha: petition has been presented 10 yourselves. asking for road from Pres colt 10 Walnut: Grove. to run on the west side oi the Hassayampa creek.
 Ii there is any reason for building any road between the points mentioned, let the board of supervisors remember that their predecessors caused the Prescott and Bradshaw wagon road to be con- s,ructed at an expense to the county of s35,0o0. In my proposition I propose to use that road 10 . point twelve miles south of Prescott, and then for the sum of $500 to make the connection with the roads already built and in use in Walnut Grove.
 1 ak your honorable board, in consid- ering the propositions laid before you, If road viewers arc to be appointed to put the comm ssion in the hands of men who have some practical knowledge, and will mention the names of some who in the past twenty years have had some ex- pe-.ence in con-iructin. ;he roads d. ready built: Geo. Opiylle, \. ". Clark, C. Davis, Charles Wilson, J. A. Park, " Hard Rice, Sam Miller, Fed Wilson, Henry A BigelOw.

 Interviews with numerous stock grow CTS convince Us that .our of every five are opposed in toto to the further intro duc.ion oi Texas stock on the ranges oi southern C lorado and northern New Mexico.

Be Not Deceived.

Do not deceive yourself abou. the value of your ore. Many have shipped ore thinking it would pay and have, to their sorrow, fonud thiy were mistak- en. Who's fault was 1t? Some times perhaps the assyers, but more frequant. ly your own, because the sample taken to ,ha assayer is above the average oi your ore. This mistake can be avoided at much less expence than shipping Take at least ten pounds of your ore. be sure it is of on better quality than you wish to ship. Break it up fine, seppa. rate into four equal parts. Take one of these parts and do the same, and SC on, until you have small quantity, say quarter Of q pound. Pulverize this fine and divied into two parts, and give, or send to two assayers, and require them to retain a portion of the sample. Il sent away be sure to have them well doEe up. Your seults shouli agree. Il they do not call fer one of your sample. and try the third assayer, who's certifi cate will in all probability agree witt one os the others, and ii it does the re- suit can be depended upon.
