Darling Peach Mprlue Dumpling -
This letter was sent to us from Al
buquerque as it seemed to be address
ed to some one from our town who
is or was in attendance at the Albu
querque fair
My Dear You will no doubt feel
very much offended at me with not
keeping my engagement with you last
evening but my dear if you ever
felt the pangs of a broken heart which
I dont doubt ynu have I know you
cant help but excuse me when I tell
you the truth and if you should con
sider it a falsehood which I tell you
better would it be for you to drown
vourself and leave this bitter world
life than believe in a false lover Well
my mind was made up to see you but
did not want any one to know I was
going out so as not to cause suspicion
I sat down to play a game of cards
after which I got up with the intention
f going to bed I remained m my
room until I thought all was quiet and
I could steal out when to my sorrow
ind disappointment I found the door
fastened from the outside either done
y Bob or Al I knocked for them
uj let me out but they did not hear
me Oi 1 my God what was I to
do I lay on the bed and cried until
1 thought my heart would break I
wept only as a lover can when so
deeply in feelings of love as am but
larling my own will you look on me
u the same light as I do If I thought
vou doubt me the toils of this world
ivould be all lost to me and 1
vould be sure to never see Peach
Springs Now my dear come to me
with an open countenance and con
fess you love me and dont doubt my
truth and honor and even if I should
be in the same fix again I wll be with
you if I have to force my way through
iron plate doors for a lovers strength
is most powerful Let me hear from
vou or ee you to night as I will be
going Believe me to be your
inly darling lover on earfh

Flagstaff
This is the name giyen to the great
st lumbering town on the A P
railroad in Arizona The place is
etween 75 and 100 miles north of
Prescott by a winding road It is
lot far from the base of the San Fran
isco mountains the highest in Ari
zona To get there from Prescott
me travels across about thirty miles
if excellent prairie grazing land the
emainder of the way through cedar
juniper oak and pine timber Grass
ijrows everywhere and water is found
in tanks and springs The altitude of
Flagstaff is up in the clouds It will
oe somewhat cold up there this win
ter Saw mills in the vicinity give
employment to about 1000 men and
1 great many teams There are in
1 he vicinity of Flagstaff many horses
cattle and sheep
In railroad building times the town
was given a hard name by ruffians
ivho Irequenjed it now the people are
as quiet as a Sunday school class so it
is said Sheriff Henkle tells us that
ihere about fourteen business houses
in Flagstaff new ones are starting or
being started almost every week As
Mr Ayres its wealthiest saw mill
nan proposes to build thirty miles of
he proposed Mineral Belt railroad it
is fair to presume that Flagstaff will be
the northern terminus of th t road
md that it will in consequence grow
to be a very large town Prescott

The gentleman whose name heads
this article is in the employ of the A
P road as Roadmaster of the Fifth
Division withheadquarters at Peaeh
Springs Mr H is a Virginian by
birth and although but 35 years of
age has had large experience in rail
roading having been in the employ
of the Cincinnati Southern also the
New Orleans Texas Pacific com
panies He came into the employ of
the A P road in December last
and in the following February was
made roadmaster for the Fifth Divis
ion and on the different sections be
tween this point and the Needles he
has in his employ or under his direc
tion about one hundred and fifty
men It may well be said that he has
reconstructed the Fifth Division as
the wash outs this fall made at differ
ent times almost a total wreck of the
bed of the road and Mr Halls- ex
perience and promptness in repairing
the work of the heavy rains leaves the
track in a much better condition than
it originally was Quiet and unas
suming in his manners but develop
ing a stern and determined counte
nance he goes about his task with few
wor s but with an energy that seldom
fails in any man
Wanted to Settle
Among the passengers in a stage
coach stopped one day last spring by
road agents in Montana was a Buffalo
man who was out there to look over
the ground witha view of establishing
a clothing store He was 1 he last one
out of the coach and as he was ord
ercd to hold up his hands he called
out Shentlemeji I like to settle
this case like an honest man Keep
your hands up If I cant make
any assienment to my Brudder
Moses I settle mit you for twenty
cents on the dollar You shut up
and shell out was the stern com
mand Shentlemen continued
the victim as he wriggled around I
haf made three assignmentsand failed
seez times in peesiness und I never
was treated like dis before I shall
now offer thirty cents on der dollar
and ifyou doan take him Ill go into
bankruptcy and my wife puts all der
cash in her stocking
TheClifton Clurjon in an article
on the probable future of the copper
mines in that locality their handsome
returns to their owners and of the
several promising mining districts in
that section expresses the belief that
the copper bullion output will be
trebled in another year That the
Clarion has good grounds for the pre
diction we have not the least doubt
Globe is another permanent camp that
will increase its yield of copper bul
lion Good reports also reach us from
the Ray camp where they are taking
out native copper in considerable
quantities aside from ordinary ore
The Copper Queen which up to this
date has surpassed all other copper
mines in Arizona in the quantity of
bullion produced continues to yield
all the ore that the smelters can make
use of There are also some fine
copper mines in the southeastern tor
ner of Yavapai county which ere
long may be expected to contribute
their portion of copper bullion in
Arizona having in sight ore enough
tokeep a thirty ton smelter running
four years to say nothing about fur
ther developments We have no
doubt that the yield of copper bullion
from Yavapai county in the region of
Prescott will be greatly increased
now that the -Atlantic Pacific rail
way has been extended through the
county Copper mines exist in every
county in the Territory and the an
nual increase must be rapid and per
manent
Dr D J Brannen of Flagstaff
was in town this week attending upon
our townsman Conductor Nelson
who has been lying seriously ill for
several weeks He reports the condi
tion of Mr Nelson ajs being still criti
cal and although he will recover
his system has been so much reduced
by fever it will take hinf some time to
recuperate Since the resignation of
Dr Mason as physician for the A
P road Dr Brannen has been called
to attend to that business and he
now has about as large a circuit to
travel over as any physician in the
Territory He is reputed to be an
excellent physician and one of the
most accomplished surgeons on the
Pacific coast

Arizona
The vast mineral resources of the
richest country under the sun are be
ing steadily developed Many mil
lions of dollars are annually extracted
from its mines and shipped away to
swell the wealth of the great commer
cial marts of the world
Upon a thousand hills the teams
and ledges teeming with metals are
yielding their treasures to the energy
and industry of man
The hardy adventurous prospector
the true pioneer of civilization on
this coast penetrating the unexplored
fastnesses of the mountains braving
the dangers and scorning the hard
ships of his lonely and perilous voca
tion is daily bringing to light fresh
evidence of the wondrous wealth of
this jnodern Ophir
Arizona has the richest copper and
some of the richest silver mines in the
world Gold is found everywhere
Iron and other metals useful in the
arts and manufactures of the world arc
produced in varying quantities h
rich and fertile soil is made to yielc
agricultural products equal to tht
needs of its inhabitants with a mar
gin to spare forexports
The output of bullion from Arizona
mines in 18S2 was nearly J 12000 000
and it is probable that the current
year will show a largely enhanced
yield
Thousands of mines scattered all
over the Territory prospected suffi
ciently to demonstrate their value
await the erection of works for tht
reduction of their products Arizona
is noted for the production of its fret
milling ores and yet a large percent
age of its mines yield smelting ores
carrying mostly their own fluxes
Chicago Mining Review
It may be a matter of interest to
many of the stock growers of Arizona
to know that cattle imported from
Mexico into the United States for
breeding purposes are not dutiable
Consul General Simon of Matamoras
has addressed to the state depaitment
a communication on the subject of
cattle in Mexic and the United
States having reference principallv
to the question of how to best sup
ply the demand for cattle for ranches
of the western states The importa
tions of live stock have in the past
paid an ad valorem duty but under
the recent treasury regulations the
scope of which has been established
by a test case he says animals for
breeding purposes can be imported
free of duty the person importing
them being only obliged to satisfy the
consul and collector that he imp rts
them for such purposes
J O Dunbar ex county treasurer
of Cochise county we are pleased to
note from an advertisement in the
tombstone Dailv Kepubucan is
again in possession of his Dextei
Stables in that city and doing busi
ness in his own name as of yore He
is one of the original officia relics
of Cochise county who lingering
the villain still pursueth but as his
financial affairs with the county are
satisfactorily closed he can now look
back only to regret the many acts of
kindness he has extended to those
who afterwards persecuted him most
and who profited by his temporan
misfortune What a chapter might
be written Johnny
It is a somewhat peculiar fact that
during the recent hot spell in Califor
nia Arizona and the Colorado desert
were comparatively cool As one of
the amusing fcatarcs of the contrast
we may mention that last week quite
a number of Anpelenos were returning
from Arizona When they reached
Indio in the evening the mercury was
found to register go degrees Said
one of our townsmen exulting
You vait until we get to the other
side of those mountains and you will
then know what it is to strike a de
lightful climate The next morning
our friend stepped out at the station
at Colton to find that the mercury
thus early had attained 104 in the
shade He suspended for the nonce
his disquisitions upon climate Los
