Tomiistoxi:. 3Iny 15, 1879. Editor Citizen: 1 think perhaps a few lines as to our doings at Tomb- stone might be acceptable to you. I have pleasure in stating that sit last, our mill is completed and the water is in the ditch all in readiness for opera tions. Mr. Lord has been testing and sampling the diflerent ores for the past month and has been very successful in his experiment, lie has obtained a number of small bullion bars ranging from 000 to 1,000 line. The mill is thoroughly and well finished in every respect and unless something beyond the human power should occur tin' milling will be a success. The Tough nut is looking better ever- day and they have a large permanent ledge. The Lucky Cu.-.s has been developed into a. wonderfully rich mine and ! large quantities of ore are being taken out daily. The Contention main shaft is down 100 feet and at this depth the ledge has been cut, but I am only able to say that when I visited the mine last, upon the loth inst., they had cross-cut into the ore bodj- seven feet, but had not yet crossed it. We don't know how wide'it is going to be, but the ore from that depth is thickly covered with horn silver and is richer than any yet taken out. On the Grand Dipper there has i been two more valuable veins discov ered on the surface. One is seven feet wide and the main ledgcds-abouenhie feet wide. This is a very valuable property. The Sunset and Old Guard have been bonded within the last few days for 40,000 to some Eastern men. These properties are among the most valuable in Jombstone. Little or nothing is being done at present on the western side of the district. The weather, although warmer out here than it has been, is pleasant. Veritas. New York Press Opinions. The Herald says the veto is an abler statfi paper than its predecessor, both in its sustained torcc ot argument- and its dexterous dealing with the political situation. Keferring to the boutlicm Democracy of Congress, it adds: The defeat and humiliation which have overtaken these unscrupulous agitators are richly merited. They will carry none of their measures and they uare not. withhold the appropriations. The Sun savs: The IJcpublicans at least have courage. T by, even this week, Hayes shows himself capable of putting it into a veto. Does the De mocracy possess nothing of this manly quality? One thing is certain a party destitute alike of backbone and of political sense can never elect a president of the United States. Re viewing the Presidential prospects, it savs: 'We learn from Xew England that the Sherman Star is rising, and already shining brightly in the East. The new veto, whatever its fate may be, will have a tendency to strengthen Sherman. It imparts consequence to llu Administration. The effect is to elevate, in a party point of view, the man in whom the Auminisinuiun i ni-rsfinilifil. and that man is John i Sherman. We cidl the attention of our readers to a very interesting article from the Sacramento I5ee coucerninga new pro ri'ss for reducing refractory ores. We have talked with three persons who have seen the operation, not with small samples, but with quantities large enough to be practical te-ts and notmere experiments. The proccs is simple and docs away with mo.-st of the expensive crushing machinery ami the long roasting process in general iki. ijfilnetion works maybe fitted up at an expense of -?2,000, instead of $20,000. or more, and prove equally if not more efficient. Silver District is just the place for this process on the banks of the river with plenty of water and fuel and only four miles to haul the ore. There is a fine chance for a moderate capital to make money. Sentinel.

Oro Blanco and Arivaca -n X.UITOK uitizen: During a recent visit to the mining districts of Oro Blanco and Arivaca, I was much inter ested in the geological formation, and the mmeralogical character of that section. The Arivaca district is about sixty miles south, southwest from Tuc son and has an elevation of 4000 feet The formation is clay slate, and quartz porphyry; the slate predominates in the valleys and low hills; and is strewn in many directions, produced doubt less by lattcral pressure, during the Plutonic porphyry period. This slate carries no fossil rests, and appears to belong to the azoic, or primitive formation. It is evident the slatp i intersected by the quartz porpli3-ry. This quartz porphyry seldom inter sects younger formations, than the palaezoic gmwacre formation, and therefore this slate is of older date. The mineral veins are in this charac ter of porphyry and run in various directions, forming a net work. .Many of them crop tit the surface, and can be traced for long distances, and ap pear to be well defined. Wherever shafts have been sunk the walls ap pear solid and the veins increase in width. The matrix of the veins is generally quartz. In a few cases how ever, calc and brown spar was found with quartz. This may be regarded as favorable for high grade ores. The character of the ores at or near the surface, are oxides of iron, manganese, and copper stains, and in some cases chlorides and bromides of silver. Galena, iron and copper pyrites tire found at greater depths, and give to the ores their base character. In some instances free ores are found. From the general character of the ores there can be no doubt but that the will have to be treated by smelting or lixiviation, and as they do not con tain now sufficient lead for smelting, and as ead mines are not found in the district, the only safe and econo mical method for their treatment in my judgment in the lixiviation pro cess. The Oro Blanco District joins the Arivaca on the south. The elevation is about 5500 feet. The country is well wooded with sufficient water for all mining purposes. The formation is Rprphyrivaynrictisaf. .which i arc plainly distinguishable, one is call ed the " Orthoklas," tpiartz porphyry, and consists of felsitic elementary dense matter (tpiartz and feldspar) with quartz and feldspar crystals. The other is syenitic porplryrj. The dark greenish elementary matter con sists of hornblende and chlorite, with large feldspar crystals, which German authors call porphyrite. The syenitic porphyry frequently intersects the tpiartz, porphyry, granite, gneiss, slates, fcc, in which large bodies of ore are found. Another variety of rock found there is felsitc, or petrosilex, or what the miners in Swetlen call "halle-i tlinta:" it is a hard stone matter of ai grayish color, quite as hard as leMspar with a couchoidal fracture. The min eral veins in this district are frequent ly found between these varieties of nornhvry. They are. as a rule, large and well defined and show good ore to the extent of their present develop ment. At or near the surface the char acter of the ore is oxides of iron and manganese, copper and carbonates of lead. At a greater depth, they show their respective sulphurets, the pyrites and galenas. There are, however, some mines which give free ores, but the general features of the ores are base, and need to be treated in the same way as those of the Arivaca District. Besides the azoic or primitive gneiss and slate formations, with their con- tpmnorarv crtmtivc intersections of porphyry, granites, diorites ami syen ites, are the transition formations with their Gniyicackc slates and sandstones, silica slates and quartzitcs, are those iu which all kinds of ore arc found. The porphyry eruptions during the azoic and transition periods seem to have produced great influence in the formation of the multifarious veins, and there is no doubt that the azoic hills in which the mineral veius arc found in Oro Blanco, now only wait the sturdy hand of the miner to bring to the surface immense treasure. In this formation arc found the rich mines of Mexico, Peru and Chile, which have attracted the attention of the civilized world for their immense amounts of gold, silver, copper, lead, Ac, &c. The same may uc said ol an the rich mines of the world. B. Salazar. Rev. Alkkeu Tor-hunter is the Rector of St. John's Episcopal Church of San Francisco, instead of Grace Church, as stated, iu our dispatches Saturday. Mr. fodhunter hopes to be in Tucson about June 1.

Hcsing, who has lately been interesting him self in Arizona mines, started yester day for San Francisco, whence he will no into the mining districts, lie pects li be absent one year. ex- From Arivaca. Arivaca, May 10, 1879 Eoitor Citizen : Coming from Tucson to Arivaca-at this season of the j'ear the traveler's impressions of f the country are not flnttering. The level tracts surrounding him on cither side, bronzed 'n the summer sun; the lack of running water and the appar ent thinness of vegetation are not apt to favorably incline him to the coun try, either from the practical or pic turesque point of-.view. The moun tains on every side.'with their stronglv marked shadows and bold projections standing out in clear relief, look so near that we can hardly realize that twenty, thirty and fort- miles of space intervene between him and their base, the mnrvelously ch-tr air of Southern Arizona bringing , them apparently near to us and enabling us to trace with our naked eves all the outlines and even the smaller canons that seam their rocky sides, and j'ct that level valley, parched though it looks, scanty of vegetation and destitute of water as it may seem, irf neither one nor the other. Nutritious grasses everywhere abound, vegetation is prolific in hardy shrubbery and water is to be had any where by sinking. Large herds of cattle, many of selected breed, are fre quently to Le seen, and their rounded forms and sleek skins indicate how well the country is adapted for their sustenance. We reach Arivaca just at sunset, and the cats gladly rest upon that valley, clothed in its bright green raiment. Arivaca is not very busy just now. The countenance of Don Pedro, in its placid content, as he looks upon his passing droves of bellowing cattle, his Hocks of sheep and his musically voiced burros, is not reflected in the faces of all the boys; but to-day new life has been infused into the district, for wagon-loads of machinery for the Ari vaca mill have just arrived and more are on the way. The mill is at present ready for the reception of gold ore, with the excep tion of a new cylinder-head to replace the one lately blown out, anil the new one is now on the way and will soon be here, and the clatter of its stamps and the hum of its machinery will hortly be heard. No sweeter music can assail ouff-ears. Thjy intend to PlUrPJLffifi'WP'Htdlatclynnd push .Hits works necessary to reduce silver to a speedy completion, and the live or six months that in my lust I thoutrhtJ would elapse before they could receive silver ore will now in all probability be reduced to six weeks, or two months at the utmost. The mill is certainly l credit to those utuidiiig it and un doubtedly will be a financial success. It is complete in every particular and they manifested their wisdom in hav ing extra boiler capacity and a power ful engine. Capt. S. S. Arnold is pushing work in his Longarenajninc, through the contractors, Messrs. Clark and Jlard wlck, as rapidly as. he can. The pay- streak is witlening as they sink antl is now about twenty-four inches wide; the walls are pretty, with nice gorges, and the mine altogether has a very favorable oullook. The ore assays re markably well, Mr. Thatcher, the gentlemanly and urbane assiiycr at the Arivaca mill showing me the re sults to be 162 90 for the lowest gradej!and $993 74 for the first grade, the assays being made indiscriminate ly from'orc taken out in the last thirty feet of sinking. Capt. Arnold's en ergy and shrewdness are earning their just reward. Arts. The Stiver Land. Mr. N. R. Vail, of this city, has just returned from a visit of six weeks in Arizona. During his stay in that Ter ritory he visited the famous Tombstone region and examined the ores of some of the mines. He confirms all that has been said of the richness of the ores in the mines which he examined, but cautions people about going there in a hurry. He says that what is needed there now is capital, not labor. There is more labor than capital at present at the mines, and many a prospector has a irood mine, but nothins to eat- Mills are needed at once to give em nlovment to the numerous fellows who I . i .;u .i ,i , have nrosoected till they are 'dead broke-" Rut Eastern capitalists arei erecting two line m i s at a cost of $200,000, aud a short time the world will know what the two noted mines, Tough Nut antl Lucky Cuss, will pro duce. The capitalists of San Francis co have discouraged the development of these mines, and missed their op portunity, while Chicago, Boston antl Philadelphia have got away with the prize, and will oori reap a harvest from their investments, and control the bullion product of the whole re gion. This apathy, or enmity, if we may "a stvle it, of the San Francisco people to the mines of Arizona seems unac countable, and unfortunate for the Stilt e. We learn that some of our Los An geles people have valuable claims in flint region, antl if they can holtl them a little while, arc likely to achieve a i rrr..-ii unffi-i L. A. Commprcial. I 7 ri Tomrh Nut and Lucky Cuss in Tomb-lof lone. Southern Railroad Sstem. A significant article recently ap peared iu the San Francisco Bulletin entitled "Two Southern Continental Railroads." Its significance chiefly arises from the fact that it was pub lished just after the return of Mr. Fitch (one of the Bulletin proprietors) from Maricopa, whither he had been in company with President Charles Crocker, Chief Engineer Gray and others prominent in the great Califor. nia company. Mr. Fitch evidently wrote or dictated the article upon statements made by the railway men and conclusions based thereon. From it there seems to be a purpose to rap idly extend the present line so as to form connection with Galveston and New Orleans, and ultimately with the City of Mexico ( desire of Gov. Stanford. " Building," says the article, "will be resumed again say in November, when the work will lie pushed on rapidly," and there will be added to the present 910 miles ".probably 200 more within a twelve-month." Here is a hint to Tuc son people worth consideration. The article refers to the long-ago announced purpose of the company to branch oil at Mohave (near Tehachipi Pass) with a line on the thirty-fifth parallel towartl Santa re, so ns to " admit of a connection with the great road now being built across Colorado and New Mexico by Boston capitalists, generally known as the Atchison, To peka anil Santa Fc Railroad." This and our well advanced South ern line, says the Bulletin, "arc the two great continental lines. which are looming up iu the near future." The Bulletin is above all things devoted to San Francisco, and it now felicitates that city on soon becoming " the term inns of three continental railways, and that without having been required to assume any ot the burdens ot con struction." Aud we may say, by way of parenthesis, that with all nature's and man's large gifts, San Francisco's people are si mass of unhappy, pom pous, lauit-nudiug and tiicreiore tin appreciative people. The Southern Pacific people are bent on getting an early and first hold on the Mexican trade. Stress is given to the fact that they struck off southward from Mohave to Yuma antl are prac- tically huggingMlio line of Mexicu.phumv i plainly indicated in the fol It is in the system of the Central and Southern Pacific directory to practi cally control the carrying trade of Nevada, much of Utah, all of Arizona, considerable of New Mexico and very largely that of old Mexico, turning the bulk of it to their pet city San Fran cisco. This contemplates the comple tion of the two Southern overland lines and various side or cross lines as tribu taries; and the Bulletin well remarks that " few people this side of the coun try are aware how rapidly this system of railroads is developing. It is by far the most important undertaking in the United States.". And to Arizona people we say yotii are highly favored in the fact that your Territory is to be traversed by two continental lines. If your past friendliness to these enterprises con tinues, you will naturally have the cor dial and liberal aid of the projectors. By united ami friendly action Arizona will dcvelope with remarkable and gratifying rapidity. The old plodding and long-drawn out, expensive antl la borious transportation of gotnls and people is to soon give way. New in dustries will rapidly multiply to take the place of the few supplanted by the better means of conducting them While livimr in the hitherto isolated interior, the comforts and convenience of the old cities and settlements are to be quickly and regularly brought to our homes. To the hopeful and pro gressive people of Arizona the future is-trulv encouraging. The actual business done by the railroad company at Maricopa on Monday last in the real estate line con sisted of the sale of forty-nine lots for the aggregate price of -9, 147.50. One block was donated to the United States for a military depot. A num ber of the purchasers of lots express ed themselves as intending to build ttmon them at once, i aud to commence business as soon as goous count oe on tamed. The tierum. irom which ve learn these facts, predicts a population of 2000 in the new town, within a vcar. Levin's Benefit We are glad to see the energetic manner in which the citizens of Tuc son are taking holtl of tne Levin bene fit. At the time of this writing over $500 have been subscribed, and it looks as though the result of the en tcrprise micht be a very considerable sum, as against the amount required to repair the damage to the Hall.

Dudley tinds liimseii 'iu the toil- n a charge of anon. From Monday's Dally. radian News. We have time to-day only to give briefly the result of an interview just had with General Willcox, Depart- ment Commander. Telegrams to him dated Ojo Caliente, X. M., May '.), gave information of about 150 Coyotiro- Uiiiric.tiiuu-.ucscaicro-UDt spring ren cgades camped in San Mateo moun tains, within twenty miles of Ojo Ca- liente, and all eager for a fight. Capt Gatewood telegraphed for more troop to dislodge these Indians from their Modoc like stroughold. Subsequent dispatches gave notice that these In dians had left their camp, probably for a long raid ami tp secure, if pos sible, their women now on the San Carlos reservation. A dispatch from Clifton dated May 10, says: "Last night the renegades made a raid near this place, killed four herders, fifteen mules, and captured alniut eighty mules." Three men were also reported killed a short time previous near the Itio Grande. To-day Gen. Willcox has dispatches from Camp Thomas stating that last night about fifteen renegades came on the reservation and stole two women and some horses. About fifty more arc thought to be in the mountains north of Thomas. Conipton, Tupper, Gatewood, Howard and several other oillcers from this Department arc in the field, it being Gen. Wilkox's pur pose to prevent communication be tween the renegades antl the reserva-j tion and to capture the outlaws, if possible. This morning's dispatch states that the women were taken by force, which indicates there is no dis position on the part of the reservation Indians to join the renegades.

Another Railroad for Arizona. The rent success of the Clifton, Arizona, Copper mines and the enter prise of the Lesinsky Bros, who own lowing article which we clip from the Grant County Herald of May 17: Henry Lesinsky will leave Silver City for New York, on tf-morrow's coach. He has decided to build a rail road from the L.utgfcllow Copper mine to the furnaces at Clifton, antl goes east for the purpose of purchasing rails, cars ami other material required for the purpose. The road will be four and tine half miles in length, with a grade of one hundred and fifty feet to the mile. The gauge is to be twenty inches. As notetl elsewhere, .Mr. Lesinsky has closed a contract with Black & Cosgrove of this place, for 10,000 ties of suitable dimensions, which will be delivered at Clifton without unnecessary delay, a work upon the road bed is to commence at once. Three hundred thousand pounds of rails will be required for the road, iind it is to be equipped with cars hav ing a rapacity of two tons each. Mr. L. has not yet determined whether he will purchase a locomotive, or usel mules for dragging the empty cars up! the incline, but is disposetl to tavor the former class of motive power. The Longfellow Company determined sometime since to increase the capaci ty of their works at Clifton, and to this end the railroad became a neces sity, as a suflicient supply of ore could not be obtained from the mine by wagon transportation. Murder in Dos Cabczas. A correspondent to the Grant County Herald gives the particulars of a mur der committed in the Dos Cabezas Mining District last week. The man was a young man named Meyers, a native of Pennsylvania, about twenty two venrs of age, but of rather disso lute habits. The murderer was Pat.j Cannon, a laboring man antl miner,; quite generally known in this section of the Territory. Cannon is an inof fensive man except when under the influence of liquor. He had been drinking at the time of the murder. Meyers was asleep and Cannon struck him a heavy blow with a gun-barrel, fracturing his skull and resulting fa tally. Cannon was s?nt under guard to the authorities at Camp Grant. At the Cosmopolitan Hotel hist week we observed the estimable wife of the editor of Tint Daily Ait'i.:. Citi zen en route to New Yo.k.
