Concert at tho Penitentiary.
On Monday evening last, a very enter-
esting entertainment was given at the
Penitentiary by Capt. Ingalls, the Super
intendent, being a concert of vocal and
intrumental music, in which the prison
ers were the performers. They had been
,m training since about last Christmas un
dcr the direction of Madam Ingulls and
J.'S. Bancroft, of ths'Republican." The
concert took place in the wain passage
way of the Prison between the range of
cells on each side. Seats were arranged
at the north end of the passage for the
visitors, who were quite numerous and
among whom were several ladies. At
the south end, a stage had been erected
for the performers,, organ etc. The in
troductory Was made by H. K. White,
Captain of the Guard, in a few appro
priate remarks. Tun came chorus sing
ing with organ accompaniment. Then a
solo upon a concertina accompanied by
a triangle. More chorus singing. Solo
ou the violin by a Mexican. Chorus by
a number of Mexicans. And finally a
duct, Madam Ingalls sustaining the con
tralto. This was the gem of the eve
ning and was encored to repetition. In
fact, the entire perlormance was very
pleasant and interesting. Good voices,
abounded, ani further instruction will
make this leature of prison lifu a relief
and pleasure to a'l concerned. To out
siders it will become attractive, and to tbo
object, (procurement of funds for a Prison
library) will promote a feeling of inter
est iu the cause and the beneficaries,
that has lain dormant too long. Too
much credit cannot be awarded to the
Superintendent, his earnest and accom
plished wife, and all others who took
part in bringing about a condition of
things so meritorious and harmonizing.
The Board of Prison Jommissioners
were present and it was announced from
the stage during the evening that they
contributed, as individuals, thirty dol
lars to the fund.
It is in oontemplation to make these
performances periodical, at which a limi
ted number of persons will be admitted
upon a fee of twenty-five cents each, and
any further voluntary offer to the library
fund. None are restrained, however,
fiom giving at nny time, and their con
tributions will be gratefully received.

The ".Benson nerald" says that R. A,
Paul, as announced by the Tucson papers,
has the contested election case and is the
Sheriff of Pima county for the next two
years. As the judge indicated in his de
cision there seems to be a good opening
for grand jury work in that eounty,-- i
"i'nnia 3i;nes.
There has been much activity among
the miners during the going out
of the old year and the coming in of the
new. Several claims have been ro-locat
cd i the Gila City range, tho Posa moun
tain3,the Cabeza Prieta district, the Pinto
and Mohawk ranges, and those who have
failed to keep up assessments are left.
The new district in front of Mohawk, to
the north, is receiving considerable at
tention. There are almost inexbaustiblo
supplies of free milling gold ore, which
assays ail the way from $5 to $100 per
ton; and in order to have an immense
bullion output a good stamp mill is only
needed.
A new district of mineral has been dis
covered, and has been named the Chlo
ride. It is south of the S. P. R. R. from
Tacna. Several locations have been
made. The ore assays well on the sur
face. The veins are permanent and wide
and of the true fissured class.
There will be news for the public from
Yuma county mines during the present
year. From the number of fresh horse's
tracks made along mountain and mesa, I
predict a golden harvest for our County
Recorder during the next sixty days.
There have been many pilgrimages
made to different Meocas, and the soul of
the prospector will have no fears to ap
prehend for two Tears more to come.
Your correspondent has been induced to
try his luck at Fortune's groat wheel of
mines, and from the appearance of a sack
of ore near by it really looks as if a win
ning number had been drawn. I will
not blow my horn too soon, though. I
will wait until the assayor makes his re
turns, when I hope to be able to shout in
triumph and dance for joy. In the mean.
time I will build my castles in the air.
and watch the mirage of Dame Fortune's
promlser, and dream of stony paths, cac
tus and ohollas, following the alluring
spirit into dreamland, where hope as well
as dispair may find a realm of rest, or
storm tossed sea.
Hoping soon to grasp jour hand across
the fraternal path .of prosperity and ex
change greetings and gossip, I will closb
with the kindest wishes and regards of
Scraps.
A Kicli Strike.
Editor Sentinel: I send by Mr.
Douglas some specimens from our mine,
the "May Queen." Wo are now down
about 12 feet. We have two feet of ore
which will assay from 18 to 200.34 ounces
of silver and from 40 to 00 per cent, of
lead. We have several sacks of ore out
and take out from one to four per day,
and have several tons in sight. We have
a cut muting about :10 feet and a solid
vein of galena ore running the whole
length, nearly two feet wide. As we go
down the ore becomes richer.
You can publish this if you see fit. Will
write you again soon and send you more
specimens. . R. W. Masters.

than any one could stand in Yuma on ac
count of the intense heat. A new comor

even less clothing than a string of beads,
