There is an enterprise on foot to bring a large volume of water to the south side of the village, thus utilizing the water for the reclamation of higher or desert ground, and for the more .abundant supply in the valley pro- per, which ditch, we are told, will be completed in April. It is known as the Montezuma ditch. If this enterprise succeeds its projectors de serve great credit. We have eight stores of general merchandise, ono drug store and ten saloons.

 AROUND TuNTo BASIN. Old prospectors say are to be found tue great mines of the Territory. Eastward of this the early pioneers, who went soldering against Indians, say there are more and larger silver mines than the world has need of. It is also in this region somewhere that many of the wise ones locate the mythical Thorne diggings, that must astonish the world when dis covered.

 PROSPECTING.

 The army of prospecters in the county is daily increasing in aus bers, and new mines are being To- cated in each district. New dis tricts will be founded in the county bordering the Tonto Basin this sum- mer, while work will be prosecuted vigorously upon both old and new discoveries. There are frequent sales made of undeveloped mines at respectable figures, and with the new impetus that will be given this year through the introduction of new mills, furnaces and machinery, We shall soon see MaricOpa county take rank as the first in her mineral wealth as she now is in agriculture, and consequently the best county in Arizona.
Year: 1878

In Its mlnlnS interests our county is second to none in the Territory in proportion to present develop ment. A brief reference to our sev- eral mining districts will, doubtless, be interesting to the general reader.

 THE vULTURE MINE.

 This is one of the old mines of the Territory and has been pretty extensively ~hogged out by bad management in years past. Its ores yield largely in gold, and great re- turns have been made from it not withstanding the bulk of the pre- cious metal lies ill the tail,ngs when treated by the ordinary stamp pro cess. After a run of the most reck- less extravaganza and mismanage- ment for some years, the old Vul- ture company was obliged to shut down, and then after long litigation the mill property was sold while the mine has gone into the possession of new owners. We are glad to be able to announce that q new com pany is now ready to commence work on this mine. Messrs. Smith and Jones, who own it, are now in San Francisco, where they are to transfer the mine to the new com pany, and work will be commenced immediately. Near the Vulture mine several new lodes of much promise have been located. East ward from here lies

 MOORE DISTRICT.

 1 This is q new field and has not been much prospccted. It lies in our county, just east and adjoining Humbug District. Several hca- tions have been made and some of them are being developed. The ores generally bear the same char acter as those of Humbug District, silver being the prcdominating pre- cious metal.

 CAVE CREEK DISTRICT

 Lies north by northeast of Phoenix, and is looming into importance. lis mines, both of silver and gold, pro- mise grand returns to their owners. We have already told our readers of one great advantage this district has in its proximity to Phoenix as q base of supply. Two or three stamp mills will be started in this district the present season, and a tidal wave of wealth will arise here and increase in its yolame for many years tC come.

 MCNIILLAN'S CAMP. This district lies north of GlobC and is literally gridironed with rich silver bearing lUdes. The shipment of S75,OOO from McAlillan was al item of news only last week, anC with increase of force and facilities the mines there have now enougl , in sight to increase this yield tel fold and keep it so every week.

 MIAMI CITY.

 Here there is a ten-stamp mil now running on ores of the Miam mine, of which there are two hund - red tons now at mill. The Mian j. lode is about eight miles from til e mill. The Red Cloud, Blue Bird and severa! other very promisin r, vein; are in this district. The mi 'f will do custom work for all miner

"Let us have peace"
Year: 1878

O.l Ben Franklin illustrated
the principle of a property quail
ification for voting, by suppos-
ing that a citizen owned an ass
Of the value requisite to entitle
the owner to vote. When the
ass died, the right to vote
ceased; hence, by logical deduc-
tion, the elective franchise vest
ed in the ass instead of the man.
The principle attempted to be
established in our city election
goes even beyond this; it is not
what man possesses which en-
titles him to vote, but his ability
to pay his taXes-failure to pay
working political disabilities,
the same as conviction of fel-
onv. Is ii reasonable to believe
that an act of special legislation
can disfranchise any citizen for
the non-paymcnt of his debts?
That citizen can be made to
hold his right Of suffrage sub
jeot to the condition Of the pay
ment Of so much money? A
special election for special pur-
pose, may, under certain circum-
stances, be subject to special
conditions for voting; but in a
matter Of government, state or
municipal, the right of every
elector to vote, by virtue of
ais manhood, and not by any
property qualification, is the
common law of the land. Some
Of the most valuable citizens
and ablest statesmen of the
country have been in circum-
stances under which they could
not conveniently pay special
assessment. Under the rule
which is sought to be estab-
lished here, those men, who had
perhaps devoted the best ser
vices Of their lives to the coun


try, would be distranchised like
common felons, under the silly
pretext Of ruling out loafers
and bummers. When General
Lafayette was in this country on
his last visit, he released from
a debtors prison in Vermont


Col. William Barton, Revolu-
tionary hero, who had Suffered
years Of Imprisonment for debts
incurred during the war. The
victim of the tyrannical law was
a kinsman of the writer of this,
and the incident induced in us a
hatred Of all laws which punish
poverty as a crime without dis
elimination between the vlrtu-
Gus and the vicious. To dis
franchise a citizen for non-pay-
ment Of his debts, is as tyranni-
cal in degree as to deprive HIM
Of his liberty. Let the laws be
enforced against property as
summarily as you please, but
lay no unhallowed hand upon
the sacred rights Of manhood.


We have no sympathy with
that communicate spirit which
would deprive any man Of the
rewards of his own enterprise
and thrift; but we will resist in
all suitable ways every combi-
nation of wealth having for it's
object the domination Of govern
ment. The rights Of property
should be held inviolable, and
the rights OF man sacred.

The food passes from the stomach at
the right side, hence its passage is fa-
cilitated by going to sleep on the right
side. Water and other fluids flow
equally on level, and 1t requires less
power to propel them on level than
upward. The heart propels the blood
to every part of the body at each sue
cessive beat, and it is easy to see that ii
the body is in horizontal position the
blood will be sent to the various parts
of the system with greater ease, with
less expenditure of power, and more
perfectly than could possibly be done
if one portion of the body was eleva-
ted above a horizontal line. On the
other hand, If one portion of the body
is too low, the blood does not return as
readily as it is carried thither; hence,
there is an accumulation and disten-
sion, and pain soon follows. If a per-
son goes to sleep with the head but a
very little lower than the body, he will
either soon wake up or will die with
apoplexy before the morning, simply
because the blood could not get back
from the brain as fast as it was carried
to it. If person lays himself down
on level floor to sleep, portion of
the head at least is lower than the
heart, and discomfort is soon induced (;
hence, very properly the world over
the head is elevated during sleep. The
savage uses log of wood or bunch of
leaves; the civilized pillow, and if
this pillow is too thick, raising the
head too high there is not blood enough
carried to the brain, and as the brain is
nourished, renewed, and invigOrated
by the nutriment it receives from the
blood during sleep, it is pot fed suffi-
GENTLY, and the result is unquiet sleep
during the night, and waking up in
weariness, without refreshment, to be
followed by day of drowsiness, dis
comfort, and general inactivity of both
mind and body.


The healthful mean is a pillow
which, by the pressure of the head,
keeps it about four inches above the
level of the bed or mattrass, nor should
the pillow be so soft as to allow the
head to be buried in 1t and excite per-
spiratiOn, endangering ear ache or cold
in the head on turning over. The pill
low should be hard enough to prevent
the head sinking more than about three
inches, ,nM'W1. MI. " ~ NV s

On recent visit to manulactOry of

to be split downward from the mouth to

the lover extremity of one of these
half tubes, and the two are then solidly
aud tightly bound together with bam-
boo strips, just.as buckets and tubs are
coopered, but continuously from end

1t only remains to plant the solid por-

and all is ready for action. These toy

must be the evolved thought of few of
