Jerome, Ariz., Mar. 19.-(SpeciaI cor rcspondence of The Republican, )- Since my last communication to the greatest of Arizona moralizers, there has been no noticeable change in Je- , rome or in its people. True, their county division dream has been dis pelled, and in its place there is a hor- rid nightmare disturbing their rest but they will recover in time and act as rational as they acted before their heacs were turned by the visions of sheriffs bailiffs, treasureIs, etc right in their midst. It was really cruel for the lawmakers to turn down the at tempt to place Jerome at the head of the new county of Verde, but law makers are always heartless. Jerome however, will not hustle off this earthly earth, but will continue to grow as she has done for the past years. Her throat cannot be throttled by one dis appointment; neither can her people be discouraged by the snaH matter of defeat in the house and council. Now that it is all over and the dust of battle cleared away. it does seem that there has not been any particular harm done in holding the grand old county of Yavapai intact. She is such a nice county that it would be pity to run the knife through her middle.
 Last week l took one of the most pleasant trips that 1t has ever been my lot to take Through the Bradshaw mountains from Prescott to the Crown ed King was a part of the trip, Those f,in af yfa m of metal 1t oozes out on the surface in many places. Rearing their tops from 1000 to 5000 feet above the level of the sea- the Bradshaws stand sentinel over the whole country. There is many mine hidden beneath the rough exterior Of the rugged hills, as there is many noble heart hidden beneath the rough exterior of tattered clothing. Accom- ranied by Chas. J. George, president of tho Lincoln Mining and Milling com pany, and C. II. Prahm and wife, your correspondent left Prescott early one morning not long ago and was soon speeding across the hills to the Lincoln property, The Senator mine and mill was soon reached.

The air was hIed with the sweet odors of the plhes and the scenery was simply fine. nave you ever driven a good team through the pines in the early part of 'ne day, when the frost was in the ar ana the roads frozen?
