The one hundred and pinteenth ami.
versary of American independence was
observed in an appropriate manner by
all Of Beaver and surrounding country
at Hulit's delightful grove, II miles
southeast of here. The weather was all
that could be desired, and promptly at
$50 a. IN. the procession, headed by
the Beaver cornct band, started for the
grove, and at every intersecting road
was joined by vehicles loaded with peo-
pie bound for the same destination.
The ride was through country made
fresh and green by the atG rains and
it presented a lovely appearance. Upon
arriving at the grounds the crowd
assembled at the call of the baud at the
speakers stand, where the program was
carried out as previously announced.
Rev. Bagsley made good prayer and
was followed by the reading of the
Declaration of Independence in an i'm.
pressive manner by Rev. p. ID. Munsell,
after which Capt. H. Mott addressed
the audience in a short but well worded
speech, which received the closest at
tention. Rev. n. A. Walker made an
eloquent address in a clear, strong voice,
every word of which was distinctly
heard. He fully sustained bis reputa>
ton as speaker, aud favorable CONS
meuts were heard on all sides.
The program was interspersed with
choice selections by the band and choir,
rendered with so much patriotism that
it was a treat TO hear them. The dan Sc
commenced early in the evening and
continued through most of the night,
the greater portion of the crowd re-
naming through it ALL Too much can
not be said in praise OF the band boys,
who spared neither time nor money to
make everything pleasant and comfort
able.
MaLy in attendance have repeatedly
expressed, in our hearing, their thanks
fulness to VIM. Hulit for the clever
manner in which I've extended the use
of his grounds house and other con>
veniences TO everyone.

THE RAILWAY MAIL SERVICE.
Superintendent Flint Speaks of Peeun-
 iary Restrictions.

iary Restrictions,
 Samuel Flint, superintendent of division 9 of the railway mail ser vice, with headquarters at San Fran cisco, arrived yesterday afternoon from Prescott under escort of As sistant General Manager Wells, of the Santa Fe, and will here spend the day, leaving in the evening on the Mancopa X Phenix train on his return to the Bay city.
 When interrogated on the subject by a Republican reporter, Mir. Flint stated his inability to even approximate time when through mail service will be commenced on the Santa Fe, Prescott x Phenix. The matter, he said, is now before the Postofiice Department at Wash ington, and it's final adjustment, of course, would be from that point first announced.
 He states that Phenix is far from being the only city within his divis- ion that is now hampered for the lack of adequate mail facilities. Every defect would be quickly and efficiently remedied were it not for the fact that the postoffice depart ment is annually made by congress an example for the most parsimoni- ous appropriations. Every year the most economical estimates of the sums necessary for the carriage of the mails and the public accommo- dation, are shaved to a point where progress becomes almost impossible, and to this fact nearly every fault is due.-Phenix Republican.

they tramped, bathed their feet. By the time supper was eaten, dark ness had enyeloped the camp. Many of the younger men sat about the fires refreshing themselves on lus- cious water melons purchased from the ranchers, and talking about the long march of the dsy-eighteen miles. The old timers, knowing the value of rest on such occasions, had already retired for the night. X slight shower of rain began to fall about S:30 p. m., compelling those about the camp to seek the shelter of their tents. The rain so lowered the temperature of the atmosphere. that the men, who, by this time had become accustomed to sleeping on the hard ground, but with different degrees of comfort, were now ena- bled to enjoy a much needed rest in sleep. With the first gray streaks of dawn, the little army was astir. After a hearty breakfast, eaten by the light of the fires, camp was broken, wagons packed, and the command set out just as the sun was rising above the distant noun tains. For some distance the march was in a northerly direction. Copper Canyon was reached about $ a. m. The march through this canyon is very arduous and fatiguing, owing 10 the broken, rocky road in some places and deep sand in others. The scenery in the canyon was grandly picturesque. While filling their canteens, some of the men saw and read, on a square rock at the bottom of the well, this inscription: Bones and Mouses' Well. June, 1878. " Near the mouth of the canyon, on the left hand side, could be seen the little monuments commemorating the massacre by band of blood thirsty Tonto Apaches of fifteen re- cruits who wore on their way, un- armed, to join their regiment at Camp Verde, only few miles away. The officer in charge, who was mounted, escaped and told the hor- rible story. From this point tower ing high above the top of the eau Yon, Squsw Peak, the United States signal station, could be seen. Leay- ing Copper canyon the march was toward the Verde river, arriving there at ll:50 a. m. The command was halted about one and a half miles from the fort-now abandoned for lunch. After the repast the fording of the river began. The taller men partially, the shorter wholly undressing. A strong cur rent running made the crossing difficult, out all crossed safely. The wagons caused great trouble in eros sing, one wagon getting stuck in the sand and needing assistance and four extra mules were hitched on and the wagon was speedily dragged out. At l.30 p. m. assembly was sounded and the march continued to Clear creek, the command arriv- ing there at 4:50 D. m. So close and convenient were wood and water that soon after their arrival supper was ready, after which camp fires were soon burning and men loung- ing about them rehearsing the in- cidents of tho day, and each expres- sing his opinion concerning Copper canyon. The time passed rapidly away, and when the clear, shrill notes of the taps rang out on the night air all retired to their tents, lights were soon extinguished and iu a few moments all was quiet about the camp.

The Creiinr Trouhadours.

Lillian Mason and her troupe of cycling troubadours appeared at Patton's opera house last evening and had fairly good audience to greet them. A farce, entitled An Official Husband" was the first on the program and while it is quite short, and Of q very exaggerated character, it contains some amusing situations and seemed to please the audience. The remainder of the entertainment consisted of special ties of various kinds. Lillian Mason's s songs were greeted with applause. She has a sweet we'll trained voice and she was recalled repeatedly. Billy Goodrich, in his negro charac- ter was very good. Aside from these however the entertainment proved quite tame. One of the members of the company took the part of an Irish impersonator aud the audience could not but wonder what excuse he could offer for ever going on the stage. He can neither act or sing even a little bit, while some of his alleged jokes were far from being refined. The company will appear again this evening and promise an entire change of pro- gramme.

Second Assistant Postmaster Neil

Second Assistant Postmaster Neil son, who has charge of the railway mail service, will recommend in his annual report an extension of the service upon street railways. He has found the experiments in that direction very favorably received and meeting with great encourage ment. It is especially desired by people living in the suburbs not yet reached by the fast street railway lines. Mir. Nelson says that the de- mands now for street railway ser vice exceed the appropriation, and that no more extensions can be made until after the next appropriation bill is passed, and it then depends upon congress whether money there for will be forthcoming.
