In some respects our people have a decided advantage in the time at which they begin their operations in quartz They are bring ing in mills when experience in California and Nevada has shown to manufacturers what is the best manner of machinery. They may avail themselves of all the modern i'm proyements. Again, they have before them the great mistakes made in California and Nevada in the method of organizing eompa- nies for mining purposes. In those States there is now prejudice against incorPora- ton, and it is undoubtedly we'll grounded. Upon this subject, late editorial in the Aitd Califorida has the following, after an allusion to the fact that not few men who have heretofore had ill-luck in quartz have gone back to mining with such stock of exTeri- cnce as will insure them success;

 alt is worthy of note, too, that the greater part of these enterprises are prosecuted with out the aid of any act of incorporation. The most successful arc more likely to shun pub licity of any sort. The work goes on, profits are divided among half dozen men, more or less, and the public hear little or nothing about it. The owners are content to prose cute their work iiii private ==y, bat n . way which turns out to be successful in many more instances than formerly"

 The feeling is largely in favor of gold quartz The expense of working in silver is so fnnch greater, and the labor 90 much more intricate that men of reasonable capital pre- fer it. In Central Arizona it would appear that our best quartz is gold bearing. The lodes or Lynx Creek, Big Bug and the Has sayampa are large and very promising. IT nearly every case where any amount of work has been done they are found to be we'll de fined, and to improve as they are sunk upon The mills here and on the way here are fol gold, and we can but believe that beginning operations at this time, with the benefits O large experience, and simplicity of or gznizAtion, our citizens will attain great sue cess. We have good hope that within sn short months the results of milling in thh district will be such as will surprise the out CT world, and to attract here large popula ton, and all the capital needed to a thorougt development of our mines and proper re ward of our patient and perseFering pioneers

march Let it be constantly borne in mind by the officers that ceaseless activity is a re- quisite to successfully fighting the Apache. He cannot bc subdued by building posts or slow movements incumbered with trains. The quick night march, with few provisions and single blanket, Is the telling manouvre, and the only one which will now insure sue. cess.

 Our people, so often disappointed in the past. 90 weary of the scourge which has de- lAyed the opening of the country, and made residence here alike dangerous and expensive, are not without hope that the present year if rightly improved by the military authori- ties, may witness the overthrow of the pow CT of the Apache to an extent thatwill drive those of the nation who survive the bullet tC accept reservation.

We find upon further inquiry, and we are always open to oonSiction, that the Hualapais had undoubtly been preparing for war, and that the Glover outrage was but part of their programme. Evidences arc not want ing that they, in conjunction with few Pah

 Utes. were about to begin hostilities when Wauba- Yuma and others were killed. In this light, we have no regret over the killing. The only policy with the savages that sur round us, if they show signs of hostility, is to give them no quarter. Power is the great argument with the barbarian, and the sooner and more heavily he feels it the sooner will

 he come to terms Fortunately, in the case of the Hualapais, they are not numerous, l perhaps in all not over two or three hun dred. and we can make short work of them. Already from the severity of the blows dealt

 them they have abandoned the Mohaye road

 and are seldom seen even on the neighbOring

 hills Mr Hardy, MT. Week, and others who have lately come from Mohaye, think the

 road more safe than for some months past . If the recreant Hualapais will go over tc , their old friends the Apaches, it will be s good thing, as we may slaughter them alto i gethef. They need expect Ho ts.os hereaf , ter, and will undoubtedly be shot on sight

 The Mohaye road is very important one and must be kept open. Interruption by any any one will not be tolerated

 ' in this connection we may announce that , MT. Hardy has, by large purchase, becom, the chief owner of the road. With charac teristic enterprise, he has already set men t, work upon it, and he will not stop them un til the road is made first rate one in ever

 respect. He proposes to remove the toll gat' to Union Pass, that the persons in attend

 ance may also work upon the part of the roa'

The following occurrence is de-
seribed by the informant as being
one OF the most amusing scenes
he ever noticed: A gentleman
IN New Haven recently erected on
Chapel street, near the colleges, a
large and beautiful residence, and
adorned the grounds with more
than ordinary taste and expense.
Among other ornaments not far
from the street, he placed large
cast-iron statue of a dog, whose bel
ligerent appearance and defiant
attitude made him ''look as large
as life. and. twice as ugly" For
weeks afterwards, the ''little dogs
and all, on passing by the house,
never failed to give the statue a
complimentary bark and growl,
which, however, never disturbed
its equanimity. But one day
Dig IoWser from the country was
following his masters market wag-
on into town, and happened to spy
the hostile form of the cast-iron
foe. A preliminary growl and
bow-wow produced no effect
Surly and defiant, his enemy con-
tinued to gaze at him. Canine ma
ture could stand it no longer. One
leap over the fence brought him
into the yard, and two or three
more carried him to his mute an
tagonist. Quicker than thought
ne attempted to fasten his teeth
on the cast-iron chops of the statue,
but the next moment gave up the
contest. The last that was seen
of that dog was, he was sneaking
out Of the yard with his tail be-
tween his legs, the most complete

Put the cider into clean casks

from one to three weeks, accord
ing as the weather is cool or warm.


When it has attained to lively fer
mentation, add to each gallon
three-fourths of pound of white
sugar, and let the whole ferment
again until it possesses nearly the
brisk pleasant taste which it il de-
sired should be permanent. Pour
out one quart of cider and mix it
with one-quarter of an ounce of
salphite of lime for every gallon
the cask contains. Stir until it is
intimately mixed, and pour the
into the liquid. Agitate
the contents of the cask thorough
ly for a few moments, then let it
rest, that the cider may settle.
Fermentation will be arrested at
once, and will not be resumed. 1t
may be bottled in the course of a
few weeks, or it may be allowed
to remain in the cask and used on

In passing down Market street, yesterday,
we observed in the window of the store of our
friend Mr.. Il. Y. DeNormandie, one of the
finestand most complete china dinner sets we
have ever seen. A placard in the window
states that the setis to be voted orat the fair to
be held in the Institute Hall, for the benefit
of the Second Baptist Church, and is to be
presented to that pastor of this city receiving
the largest number of votes AS number
of our churches are accustomed about the
holidays TO give their pastors handsome
testi monials of their appreciation Of their
''works of faith and labors Of love" it oc-
Cured to us that this dinner set was just the
thing, that no church could make TO a pastor
more beautiful or enduring testimonial of
their esteem. Knowing that frequently dis
satisfaction has been given by the manner in
which voting for articles is conducted at
fairs, we took occasion to enquire OF Mr..
DeNormandie as 10 the modus operandi in
this case and we are satisfied that it must
commend itself to all as the very best method
OF doing such things. Any persons desiring
to vote will receive a card on which they
will write the name of the pastor for whom
they vote and the number of votes they take.
They will then enclose the money with the
card in an envelope, which they will seal
and then endorse. Then they report to the
person receiving the votes their name and
the number of votes they have taken. Theii
names and the number of votes will be re
corded but not the name of the person the,
voted for. The envelope will then be dc
posted in box, not to be opened until til,
last night of the Fair. 1t will be seen by
this, that no one, not even the person having
charge of the voting, can possibly know any
thing until the votes are counted. Mr.. De
Normandie is authorized to receive vote
now at his store. The votes are fit,
cents each We hope we shall hear of al
immediate movement in our different con
gregations to secure this china dinner set
