ChrystOVal.

MT. Fletch NJ. Doan, of ChrystoYal, this county, was in Tucson Saturday, hd in an interview with the Star, the following, which bodies well for the prosperity of the town, was gleaned:
 There are twenty-five families, and in all the colony consists of about one hundred people. They are all from St. Louis and came out last Novem Der and took up 4000 acres of land in l60-acre tracts, and went on its inn provement in building houses, clear ing land and taking out irrigating canals and planting their ground. The canal from which they will receive their water supply is the South Gila it is twenty-two and one-half miles in length and commands 15,000 acres of land. The grading is all completed, ready for water; the head gates and crops will be put in at once, as the lumber and carpenters are on the ground. The water will be flowing through the canal some time during the next three weeks. The people have anticipated the water and have got their ground ready. Each has from ten to fifteen acres planted in crops which are growing luxuriantly.
 Eighteen houses have been built since Christmas and supreme happi- ness reigns throughout the colony.
 Gardening and fruit raising will be the chief industry as all kinds of veg etables can be grown every month in the year, the climate being so equable in that locality. Oranges, lemons, bananas, figs, and all other semi-tropi- cal fruits will grow to perfection.
 The colony has a church, Sunday school and three local preachers, who take their turn in conducting religious services. And there is not single saloon within fifteen miles of the set tlement and MT. Doan thinks there never will be one any nearer.
 The story of the rich find of silver on the Navajo reservation brings tC mind q story told the writer some years since by gentleman named William Jennings, who Is now dead MT. Jennings had lived many years in Mexico, and while examining the rec Ords in one of the churches in that country he came across the descrip ton of a mine called the Trinity, from I the fact that there were three paralle lodges lying close together, and those lodges were described as being nes rly pure silver. As near as he coulC |. make out from the description in the church records, this mine is situated in the northeastern part of New Mex ico, not far from Little Colorado river MT. Jennings made several attempt to get up parties to go on prospect ing trip for this fabulously rich ledge but never succeeded, as the story wa considered too big for belief. It ma, be that his story had some foundation He also claimed to have seen in on of the churches in Mexico a descrip ton of the Silver King mine years be fore it's accidental discovery by part, of Americans.-Tombs Epitaph
