And stared at Beecher. Henry Ward.

The rvoarry people opened wide
Thair ssontbs in wonder aa they gazed.
While I, like them felt much amazed.
Whea basket had been passed around.
And all with benediction crowned,
I straightway found an honest deacon,
Wboaa fiery nose shown like a beacon.
And aaid: "Good de-woi. tell me why
This country ehnrch U up so bU'h

He locked at me and laugued a langb:

YAVAPAI:
As the Spring is now opening it
behooves onr citizens who wish to
make their homes attractive and
pleasant, to take advantage of the
propitious season to set out trees,
shrubbery, flowers, etc., that which
costs so little, but makes ''IIome"
bo sweet. The climate of Prescott
does not admit of the culture of
tropical plants, but the hardier va
rieties can be grown here very well.
We see an earnest disposition dem
onstrated by quite a number of our
ladies to beautify their homes and
have, each for themselves and those
who are most dear to them, a little
paradise in which to live, shut off
from the outside world, to feast
pon their own pure thoughts, sur
rounded by the most lovable of na
ture. No home should be without
flowers. Miner.

rapid increase in the avordupois of

P. M. Hilton is in from his stock
ranch; he reports his sheep in splen
did condition; he will have about
17,000 pounds of fine merino wool;
Trill commence shearing in a few
days. The McGary Bros, are al
Teady shearing their large heard.
Jlr. Hilton says the country south
is one grand plain of pasture for
miles in all directions and that mil
lions of stock could feed, and yet
there Tvould be plenty left. The
favorable rains this season are
bringing forth an hundred fold in
every quarter of this county. Star.
D. G. Sanford came in on the
8th from the Sonoita valley. Farm
ers all busy, grain well advanced; he
.lias eighty acres cf barley and fifty
of wheat all in splendid condition,
from which he expects to reap a
rich harvest. Star.
From every section of the county
we have the encouraging news of
abundant grain harvest iu prospect.
Pneblo Viejo Valley, is rich and
luxurient in grain fields. There will
be not less than 3,000,000 pounds
of wheat and barley, and prob
ably 1,500,000 of com this season.
So much has that section been fav
ored with rains, the people are plant
ing large quantities of vegetables, all
of wL:eh w'll find ready market in
the mining districts. fSt ir.
SuWr'.bt for il.i I!krai.i.
In continuance of our account of
Cave Creek Mining District, mention
should be made of the mines owned
by Messrs. Jarrett and Julian.
These are situated in a small group
of high hills lying immediately
south of Mr. Jarrett s ranch, an J are
the first mines reached in traveling
the road from Phenix. The ores
consist principally of sulphurets of
copper, lead and antimony. This
statement refers, of course, to the
percentages. In values, the metals
gold and silver far exceed the baser
metals. The majority of the ores iu
the above mines are such as may be
tvaJily reduced by smelting, and the
accessibility of the property and its
proximity to wood and water render
it extremely valuable.
Situated north of the above mines
and about two miles distant, there
from, in an air line, are sundry
claims owned by D. IL Ri.-sue. The
most notable of these is the
GENERAL GRANT.
This ledge conforms nearly to the
general formation of the district,
although it is four or five miles west
of the center of the principal opera
tions, and in a range of mountains
somewhat detached. Dave take a
sort of bashful pleasure in exhibit
ing numerous specimens! well flecked
with fi-ec gold, which are the pro
duct of this ledge.
In Cave Creek canyon, about a
mile and a half above the crossing
of the New River road, or three
miles above Jarratt's ranch, is the
PHENIX LEDGE,
Owned by Messrs. Shaw, McDonald
and Kent It is a recent location,
but is far from the least in impor
tance. The quartz is a most un
promising looking element, having
the appearance of very ordinary
limestone, and a piece of float or
cropping would scarcely attract a
second glance from tlie average
prospector, but in the course of a
moderate amount of prospecting, the
company have taken out some
splendid specimens, the free gold
appearing everwhere, as if sprinkled
from a pepper box.
In the former article mention
should have been made of two
claims owned by Judge Hilands, the
CONTINENTAL AND STONEWALL.
These are ledges of gold bearing
quartz located southeast of, and par
allel to the Golden Star. They are
not very wide, but make up iu rich
ness what they lack in size. It is
a maxim among quartz miners that
a fourteen inch vein is just as good
as a six foot, if it is rich enough,
the boys believe that the judge will
be perfectly safe in proceeding on
this principle, for these veins cer
tainly show what might be termed
"condensed richness." As they
are not more than three or four
hundred feet from the Golden Star,
the probabilily is suggested that
their geological history is the same
as that of the latter ledge,
A large number of
ENXWRAGING PROSPECTS
In this district, still remain unno-
. . j i . i .
uuueeu. ana inis prompts mention oi i
the fact that Cave Creek Distrii '
challenges the nrneral belt of the
Pacific Slope to show more flatter
ing results from a like amount of
labor. Most of its mine, are owned
by poor men, and what little has been
done, has been mostly by hard
knocks put in by the owners them
selves. There is not a more inviting
field anywhere for even moderate
capitalists to operate iu develop
ment and mining. Suppose, for in
stance, that the three or four mines
on Gold Hill were controlled by one
company, with a working capital of
S60.000. This sum would be
abunbant to put a ten stamp mill,
and run a tunnel 400 feet long.
This tunnel, if properly located,
would at once completely open t wo
ledges at a depth which would as
sure an abundance of rich ore and
place the mine on a dividend paying
basis, If the present owners con
fided their business to the proper
hands, would they have to part with
but a small portion of their interests
to secure the above capital. As it
is now, no individual has the capital
to undertake operations which are
essential to proper development, and
the ''extravagance of economy" is
forced upon him. Such work as is
being done at present, if done by a
wealthy companywould be considered
extravagant and wasteful. Such a
po-'Jiility of economical mining as
is preetito-j t.-ld II:!' :? rtrely
i'lt-t witli.
