GRASS VALLEY DISTRICT.
Revival of Mining near payson.
 Rich Discoveries of Gold.
PAYsoN. ARrz.. . March 28.

PAYsoN, ARIz., March 28.
 EDITORS SILVER BELT: Green Valley miuing district, although very quiet during the past winter, IS beginning to bud out with the approach of spring and promises better results than were ever before known.
 The workings of the Golden Wonder uine, under the Holmesley & Shirley lease. have reached depth of nearly 325 feet, and show the largest body of ore ever found in the mine. Also, there has been discovered another ore chute On the surface, which, if it inn proves in depth as the other has done, will make the Wonder one of the best mines in the county.
 B. F. Stewart is taking out come rich ore from an adjoining claim, which, when further developed, may prove a valuable prospect. Lesees Anderson & Barton are also getting some high grade ore from the Birdie clnim, situated in this vicinity, and of which both owners and lessces have great hopes. Besides those mentioned there are number of other claims being developed, most of which are looking favorable.
 
 Mir Craig will start his mill in the near future, and which will be kept running day and night on ore from the Golden Wonder mine.
 NIT. Childers has arranged to add g smelter to the few advantages we have, which will fill a long felt want, and there are strong reasons to believe it will prove a success.

THE COUNTY FINANCES.

A. H. Morehead, who has been en- gagged exporting the county books, submitted his report to the supervisors on Monday. The report is volumin- ous document of 225 pages, covering minutely the transactions of the county for the years 1895, 1896 and 1897. The total receipts fer the three years was S159, 19l.33, and expenditures $l29, ,54S.3i, leaving cash balance in the treasury on Jan. l, 1898. in the several funds of S29, ,742.99, and an actual county indebtedness of $7382 23.
 That this very small showing of in- debtedness may not mislead taxpayers We deem it proper 10 state that the cash Ill the treasury on January 1st was distributed among various funds. and none of it available for the pay ment of county indebtedness except about $5000 in the general fund. Therefore, the indebtedness of Gis county, on Jan. l, 1898, as shown by the annual statement filed with the ter- ritorial auditor. was S32, ,066. 13. Two calls for the redemption of warrants have been issued by the treasurer this year. and warrants registered up to Dee. l, 1892, called in.
 The csunty continued to issue war rants against its current expenditures up to July IS, 1893, when an expense fund was established, and the county paid cash until Oct. !, 1897. The ex- pense fund was then abolished and warrants issued since then remain un paid. Another call for warrants will be issued the latter part of this month.
 It is certainly gratifying to taxpayers, and commendatory of county officials, that the examination of their accounts showed them be absolutely correct. At the same time we are not disposed to accord to past boards of supervisors unstinted praise. In the matter of costs in the trials of Indian offenders, tho supervisors permitted bill of $7, ,U00 to accumulate against the county, when they had received instructions how to proceed to promptly collect the costs from the United States govern ment. While the original bill of costs has been paid tue county has lost interest on the claims amounting to more than S2000. Also in regard 10 the special tax levied for the improve ment of the Normal school and Univer- sity, after having refused to make this illegal levy for 1896, the board of supervisors last year, in the face of the protest of the grand jury aud taxpayers of the county, sacrificed the county's interest by levying the tax, which was clearly unwarrauted.
 2 Mir. Morehead's report is an admir- able piece of work, concise and accu- rate, and performed for very reasonable compensation. The exporting of the couuty's books is a matter which should be attended to at least every two years in the interest of ths taxpayers.

 c. H. Hill returned from Payson last Friday. He reports much activily in mining in that vicinity. The lessees of the Golden Wonder mine have five feet of ore, one foot of which goes Sl00 per ton in gold and four feet averages $50. The ore will be worked in Win. Craig's mill. r. F. Childers, who dur tug his recent visit to Globe, bought n 40.ton water jacket furnace from the United Globe company will send R. W. Hill, with team, after it this week. The furnace is to be erected at the Grand Prize mine, on which Mir. Childers has lease. At present the concentrates are being shipped, which entails heavy expense for transporta- ton; with furnace on the ground to smelt the ore large saving can be made. The season is very backward in the upper Tonto country. A week ago last Sunday two inches of snow fell at Payson Cattle north of Tonto post. office are in good condition, but below that point ou Tonto and in Upper Salt river valley they are very poor and the range is almost bare of grass.

An Ocean Trolley Line.

From the New York Evening Journal
An ocean trolley line. which reaches near
~ quarter Of a mile over the sea. con.
veylng either passengers or merchandis
Is one of the curious sights to be seen at
Bear Harbor, on the Pacific coast not far
from San Francisco. While the osteusible
object Of this strange trolley is the carry-
ing Of lumber from the rocky highland
aboard the big schocners which form the
ocean terminus Of the lire. dozens of lum-
bermen ride in basket attached to the
suspended cable on a wheel
or course. ethere is no electricity used in
connection with this novel trolley The
power of gravity does most of the hard
work. The lumber schooners come from
the MeEdocino county ports. Until a year
ago they were loaded by the slow process
Of lighters plying to and from the wharves,
By the new trolley system lumber in any
quantity can be carried from any island
point over a long and high railroad bridge
to sort Of cage. where the wooden car
goes are stacked, and thence to the deck of
each ship. The trolley line is thrown from
the lumber cage to the vessels by means of
rope shet from mortar.

Good Roads Profitable,
From the Easton (Pa) Free Press.


The road commissioner of New Jersey,
Mr.. Budd, points out that it costs cents
a bushel to haul wheat on a level road a
distance of five miles, and at least cents
to haul it the same distance on a sandy
road, which goes to illustrate the practi-
cal economic Importance of good roads
This is a point which deserves the serious
attention of farmers. Sandy and rough
roads are wearing out their horses and We
hicles and increasing the actual cost of
their farm supplies and of the marketing
Of their produce. Though little recog-
nized. this is a fact most potent to the
careful observer. and most pointedly and
truly expressed In Mr.. Budd's report.
When this fact penetrates the minds of
farmers more generally they will begin to
realize THAI money and labor expended on
road improvement will save money for
them In reducing the actual cost of haul
ing and in saving vehicles and horses
1t Is high time to dispense with the idea
that good roads are luxuries, mere fancy
frills. and to regard weIl-made hiehways
as among the necessities.
