THE SALE SEASON is approac hing and We
desire to have the kindly interest of our
readers exeted to the end that whatever
work in the line of sale bill printing that is
to be done in this section of tho county, may
come to US. We ask for the work because
we are entitled to it. provided our work and
prices compete fairly with others. We do
not claim to print the cheapest sale bills of
any office in the county, for we do not, but
workmanship and material considered, we
more than compete With the cheapest Office
In the county. We have but one price too;
one mans money is worth .he same to us,
as snother's; we reduced our prices one year
ago and they will remain The same this year,
az there has been no lossenng in the cost Of
ink, paper or labor during the past year
We offer, however, new and special induce
ments, something novel and which will be
Of vast advantage to parties making sale Of
either real or personal property.
Il is our wish that our readers will make
It known to parties that they will be able to
secure the benefit of a novel method of ad-
vertising by coming to us to have their work
done.
We ask the people Of this section of the
c1ulty to stard by us and to extend to US q
support that we can certainly claim as our
cue.

Competition played haYoc with the prices
ofagrcutural machinery last season, nota-
bly, Of mowers and Irvine binders Binders,
the price of which was first named a; $1,5
to 5000 fell in some instances below $500;
orders were sent ont by the managers Of the
different manufacturing companies mot to
be undersod" by any one and general dis
astrous war on prices followed. 1t served a
good turn TO some who really needed and
were able to own binder, while to the com
panies, their agents and to many farmers
who were not really able to own, yet who
bought "bccause they were cheap" it has
brought injury rather than advantage, A
healthy competition is the life Of trade but
such ruinous cutting as was INDUCED in last
summer by machinery dealers was the great
est of follies.

The New r.. r. SURVEY Wetlncs-
day morning last, Mr. John kunkcl, Presi-
dent OF the Catoctin Iron Co called to have
us accompany the party of engineers on the
preliminary survey of the route OF the new
railroad hence to Catoctn Furnaces.
We found the point Of departure from the
W. Nd. track already chosen, 1t being at
that place where the Apples Church road
crosses the track, or ABOUT 800 yards east OF
S,ocksdalc g. Bussald's warehouse on Car
roll st. The line from this point runs south.
west TO a point in Nj, Jno. II. Rolzer'S field
southeast OF town. wl,cr, the first curve &C.
ours. The line crosses the Gruc"ham road
east Of Jacob Yonson's and west Of Thos
Smohcr's houses. From The curve in Mr.
Rs field it runs more thal mile in Il
straight line to point or the southern c1
trcmity Of Mrs. Joseph Whites property
crossing Hunting Creek at a point about zoe
yalds south Of The foot of Wa,cr,st extend.
ed
This is the first or preliminary survey Of
the line here at this end AID while it Is q
very practicable one so far rs curves and
grades are concerned, it is believed that Il
better one is attalnahle and onc that will be
less costly, certainly shorter and which viii
not probably cost any more for right OF way
and which will have, so far rs our town is
concerned the additional advantage Of tic
terminus right in town
Our experience with the engineering
party was pleasant one; the day was fine
so much so that Chairman 10y was in ecs
tacies over the contrast between the wealth
er as it WIS and what it usually has been on
similar occasions; we were not of the party
the following day (when it rained) hence are
not able to report his conclusions regarding
any fatalism that may be connected will
railroad surveying an the weather.
The party was in charge of Chief Engi
neer MaithC VS. of the w. Md company
Road Master Straw had charge of the tr,,n
SIT instrument and Assistant Enninecr Webl
followed with his instrument taking Tho
grades. The party was kindly treated by
the property holders along the Inc of th'
survey no one demurring ut the crossing o.
soft grain fields, or at the cutting of timber
which occasional y obstructed the sight o.
the transit. The beginning is regarded as
being particularly suspicious; as it has been
the experience of the surveying party in the
past, to meet some who disputed their rights
or had probably to diplomatic some enrag
ed old lady or fight off vicious dogs.
Noer noon, the party was gratitied at tho
sight of wel-stocked lunch basket, thanks
to the foresight of the president of the Iror
Co, and to the ability of some one at the 9th
er end of the line, to Judge accurately of The
kind and quantity of lunch surveying party
would best appreciate.
Something over two miles was completed
on the first day, but on the following, thu
work was over ground much more irregular
and stubborn "summit" about one milf
this side of Catoctin Furnaces proved to be
difficult to surmount.
TIE survey was completed on Friday.

A FLArTERING SCCCEss.--In our last is
sue, referring to the entertainment on
New Years Evening by our Amateurs, we
may have been rather too previous in our
request that the audience Shoull he lcnicnt
in their criticism The entertainment has
been given and we are disposed now to IN,
vlte rather than dcprecate criticism; the
parts were 80 admirably borne that any
thing like adverse criticism is impossible
while the simplest Justice demands that cv-
cry member of the troupe I've warmly praised
There were present not Only evidences OF
close study and careful mcmoriz!ng of the
parts, but besides of real merit and decided
good taste for the drama.
The company was honored with crowd
ed room; the audience vas apprcciatlvc and
closet attentive, tAe applause being liberal
and given with judgment,
For ourselves, we do not hesitate to say
that the role cssayed by our amateurs was
one 'y no means superior to their talents
and we take this opportunity to insist upon
a continuation of their efforts in this direc-
ton. The study of parts in wc]l-chnsen
dramas s by no means an idle occupation;
it will, as we nave frequently said, prove an
exc, lent school, polishing oil angulsrities in
ttitLctte and social dccorGm aid in rhetoric;
give one broader and better ideas of their Gu
pacity, probably unsupported in the past;
will be OF benefit to the mind, far above the
ordinary chat on social topics and is besides
attend such entertainments.
BY 70 means, allow this TO be the only one
of the kind this winter.

A Deserved Tribute,

Hon. David Davis, ex-vice-presi, dent of the United States, in recen, letter to an eastern literary paper, makes the following truthful remarks:
 Every newspaper gives from sIoo 10 $5,ooo in free lines for the sole benefit of the vicinity in which it is located. No other agency can or will do this. The local editor, in propor ton to his means, does more for his town than any other ten men. and in all fairness, man with man, he ought to be supported, not because you hap pen to like him or admire his writing, but because local paper Is the best investment a community can make. It may not be brii liant or crowded with great thoughts, but financially 1t is more of a benefit to a community than the preacher or teacher. Under stand me, now, do not mean moral ly or intellectually, and yet on this moral question you will find the ma jority of the local papers are on the right side of the question. To-day, the editors of the local papers do the most work for the least money Of any men on earth. Subscribe for and ad- vertise in your local paper, not as a charity, but as an investment.

 The school will open again on Monday morning. As stated in last weeks CHAMPION the school directors thought it advisable to attempt to raise a public subscription to defray the expences for the rem lin- der of the winter term, in preference to holding an election ia the district and voting tax for the purpose, The subscription plan was more expeditions and all of the costs attending an cleo ton would be avoided, Messrs. Hox. worth, Switzer and Dutton, the direc- tors, started this week to collect sub. scriptions, and this morning Sa54.oo had been gathered in, and there is enough more promised to justify them in starting up the school at once. The Aver Lumber company gave $50, on condition that no attempt would be made to impose tax. The school directors wish to return their thanks to the people of Flagstaff for the lib, erality with which they responded to the call made upon them.

THE HERO or GETTYSBURG.
Death of General V infleld s. Hancock, a
 Governors Island, New York.

Death of General V infield s. Hancock, at
 Governors Island, New York.
 Major General Hancock died at 2:35 p. m., on Tuesday, Feb. oth, at his quarters on Governors Island. in New York harbor. His death was the result of a malignant carbuncle on the back of his neck, which had confined him to his bed for several days. Last week he was in Washing ton, bus was obliged to leave without paying his respects to the president, on account of the swelling on his neck, which caused him considerable pain. The general has been ailing for some time past, and it was known that he was suffering from Bright's disease of the kidneys, which proba- bly, reduced his system so that he could not stand the loss of vitality, caused by the constant suppuration of the carbuncle, which prevented rest or sleep.
 General Hancock was born at Nor ristown, Montgomery county, Penn sylvania, on Feb. I4th, 1924, there fore he lacked five days of being 6z years old. He was sent to West Point when sixteen years of age, and among his contemporaries there, were Grant, Mcclellan, Rosecrans, Reynolds, Ly- on, Lopgstreet and Stonewall Jackson. He fought terough the Mexican war, and was .breveted major for bravery at Cherubusco. At the outbreak of the rebellion he was stationed at Los Angeles, when he reported at Wash ington for active duty and was made brigadier-g general. For four pears he was with the army of the Potomac, and held commands at the battles of Williamsburg, Frazier's Farm, South Mountain, Antletam, Fredericksburg, ChancellorSville and Gettysburg. IL was Hancock who chose the spot on which the battle of Gettysburg was fought, and commanded until the ar. rival of Meade. He was the most conspicuous figure in that desperate fight until he was shot and fell from his horse almost mortally wounded. This wound kept him from active ser vice for nearly year, but he was able to join his command before the war was over and take conspicuous part in Grants Virginia campaign.
 In 1880 he was nominated for Presi- dent of the United States on the dem ocratic ticket, but was defeated by Garfield, the republican nominee. He went into and came out of bit. ter personal campaign with an unsul- lied reputation. Malice could not invent anything that would even look like a blot upon hrs fairname.

Dramatic Performance.

On Thursday evening next dra- matic performance will be given at the skating rink. "The Limerick Boy" will be the play, in which Mir. W. C.. Stewart will take the character of Paddy Miles" Mir. Stewart, who has already been seen here on the stage, is very clever eccentric com edian. As an amateur actor few can surpass hlm in certain line of char. aciers. The remainder of the charac- ters in tIe cast will be assumed by la dies and gentlemen of Flagstaff. An enjoyable and amusing evenings en- tertainment can be promised, and the theatre ought to be well filled.

THE NEEDLES.
A Description of the Fertile Basin at tho
 Western Boundary of Arizona.
Editorial Correspondence CHAMPION.

Editorial Correspondence CHAMPION.
 THE NEEDLES, Feb. Sth, IS86.- Distance that lends entertainment to a doubtful bit of landscape, as we'll as to maidens of uncertain age. is no less applicable to modern bonanzas and to the actual merits of certain locali ties that are being advertised through out the West. We hear more in Flag staff of placer fields and silver-bear- ing lodges faround The Needles, " than is possible to hear among the mining men of this locality and its surrounding camps. The country lying adjacent to The Needles is of sedimentiary formation, borne in minute particles from the surrounding mountain heights that encompass the great basin in which the town is cen trally located. The soil is exceeding ly fertile and the climate tempetate and regular to such degree that two three crops are grown within the year. The town is destined to be- come one of the most prosperous on the sun shine route. There are prob ably few localities capable of growing like quantity of different produc- ton. Without entering into the pos slbilities of this fertile basin I will enumerate what has been grown for market and local consumption. Wheat barley, corn and oats, cotton, sugar cane, rice and tobacco; turnips, pota. toes, beeIs. Iadishes, and all kinds of root vegetables; peas, beans, and ma ny varieties of relishes are grown throughout the year. There is prob ably greater returns in store for the company that will cultivate this fertile basin, than for the spectators and capitalists who will eventually invest in miuing properties in the surround ing mountains.
 The mountain districts adjacent 10 The Needles are rich in minerals, and no one converSant with its location and the difficulties to be overcome before It can be thoroughly prospected, can doubt that The Needles will in the future become prosperous min. ing centre. At present 1t is no place foa the impecunious prospecton (the man who stands ready to guarantee a forty thousand dollar bonanza in con sideration for a seven dollar "grub stalk" bui for an earnest. thorough going man of experience, who poses ses few hundred dollars, it is a sec iion that may be recommended.
 Twenty-four miles from The Nee dies, and about ten miles from the railway, Messrs. Heise, Edmonson, and others, recently located some sil. yer. bearing lodges, and have been getting out ore for shipment. Three tons of the ore sent to MT. Dennis at Kingman assayed from $6o to SI2o per ton. MT. M. D. Darkin, who was selected to accompany the "mill run" to Kingman, has just returned to report the gratifying result to his as- sociates. The ore is free from refrac- tory minerals, and clasied as silver bearing galena. There are but few miners working in the placer claims, which are situated about twenty. four miles south of the town. They report ample returns. Water and forage is scarce, and the prospector should bring burros in preference to horses. J. w. 5.
