SATURDAY, -,- - JUNE 27, 1874
Repairs to the Military Telegraph.
At several places along the Gila river,
the telegraph line is stretched, over the
road, and the wire hangs so low that the
larger freight wagons cannot pass under
without coming in contact with it. When
one man is with'a large freight wagon, he
cannot raise the wire and drive the team,
too, and In some of these places it Is im
possible to drive out of the road. This is
true of a place but a few miles below Mo
hawk Station, and we believe also at Mc-
Gowan's Camp. One day last week a
teamster could not drive under the line
nor around the place named below Mo
hawk, and was obliged to go through It.
The next morning, Mr. Monroe, stage
driver, with some assistance, succeeded in
connecting the broken vire but then it
hung within three feetof the road ready
to bo broken by the next teamster who
6hould attempt to pass alone. It is our
opinion that the best and only effective
way to fix the line at those places, is to put
an extra pole on both sides of the road, or
put in much taller poles than those in use.
Probably the whole line from Tucson to
Yuma could be thus put in safe order with
twenty extra poles. Of course, a team and
a few men would necessarily have to pass
over the whole line. We are informed
that the line from Prescott to Maricopa
was so built with reference to the crossings
of roads that not a break has yet occurred
at them. A few men with a team could in
two weeks 6o repair the line from here to
Yuma that it would never again be brok
en by teams passing under it. From all
we could hear along the line, the team
sters do what they can to avoid damage to
it, and are very anxious to have the sug
gested repairs made. If made, time would
in future be saved and the working of the
line not be nearly so often Interrupted.
Sampling and Reduction of Ores
in san Francisco.
The San Francisco Bulletin of the 13th,
gives an interesting account of the busi
ness of reducing various kinds of ores in
the city. Following is an extract from the
article and many of our readers will find
it of Interest to them:
The leading sampling establishments of
the city are those of the California Quartz
Crushing Company and C. F. Knicker.
The process of sampling ore for sale neces
sitates a nicety that may readily be imag
ined. The purchaser relies solely upon the
sample in estimating the value of the ore
and the price he is willing to pay for it.
The ore is sampled in this manner: A
certain amount is taken at random
from a shipment and spreid upon the
floor. From this the workmen gather a
goodly quantity and run it through a
French burr mill. After the ore has been
pulverized as fine as meal it is spread out
again, and samples are taken up here and
there in a miniature shovel, which holds
about a tablespoonful. A large phial is
then filled and sent to the assayer, who
determines the sum the ore will yield to
the ton. Some ot the ore at the California
Company's works has sampled as high as
$4,000 per ton in silver. Copper ore sent
from a mine in Shasta county is actually
metallic, having been precipitated through
a solution of water in the vein. The cop
per ore generally comes from the mines
of California, Montana, Nevada and Ari
zona. Copper is given a special promin
ence because it is in active demand. But
it would appear that the demand for other
ores is increasing, and promises to be per
manent. The gold, silver, cinnabar, and
lead interests are an looking up, and im
portant shipments have been made from
a number of new mines within a few
months.
In a late number of the Army and Navy
Journal, we find the following:
The leave of absence granted Capt. S. C.
Kellogg, 5th Cavalry, March 24, 1874, from
headquarters department of Arizona, is
extended four months.
A board of examination having found
Capt. William Nelson, 21st Infantry, in
capacitated for active service, and "that
said incapacity is due to rheumatism,
caused by ill-treatment while he was a
prisoner or war in the hands of the reb
els, trom July, 1803, until November, 1864,
and to severe hardships and exposure in
curred in his attempts to escape from im-
Írisonment," tne President directs that
lis name be placed upon the list of retir
ed officers of that class in which the disa
bility results from long and faithful ser
vice, or from sickness or exposure in the
line of duty. In conformity with sections
16 and 17 of the act of August 3, 1861.
Capt Nelson, it will be remembered, is
the officer who was in command of Camp
Grant in 1871, when the guns of the Unit
ed States were turned upon a party of pros
pectors from this place. He has for over a
year been at Hot Springs, Arkansas, and
is still there with his family;
This Is the way a Florida man expects
to get a partner to his bosom. He adver
tises as follows: "Any gal what's gota
cow, a good featherbed, with comfortable
linens, five hundred dollars in good, gen
uine slap-up greenbacks, that has had the
small-pox, measles and understands tend
ing to children, can find a customer for
life, by riten a small william ducky, ad
dressed X. Y. Z., and stick in a crack of
Uncle .Billy Smith's barn, jinin the pig
pen, where Harrison Reed is now plan
ning for future operations."
It is expected that a number of Arizo
nans will be in Washington at the open
ing of the bids for Indian supplies called
for by advertisement in to-day's paper.
Excepting for beef, samples of articles pro
posed to be furnished must accompany
bids, and as It is only a month and a few
days until the proposals will be opened,
parties in Arizona have little time to lose
o got their samples to Washington.
The Los Angeles Herald despondlng
lyasks: " Won't somebody come forward
magnanimously and agree to fire off a
gun or something on the coming Fourth?"
