There is a growing interest in the
A.ami: market among the outside

urckers that more outside orders have
jeer. received during the week than
for 'some time, and the indications
re that an active demand for the bet
r mininsr securities will soon

the mining market during the pas

in Bo-ton Consolidated, which, from
SI so on Monday last-to which price
it had advanced from $1.10 on De

1 A reporter of the Citizen Thursday
met Super in lend en t A. Derre, of the
Jjerre Townsena mm ai ts.nvcu,
and gathered the following items with
regard to the progress of that district
and the surrounding vicinity: In
Anvaca things begin to look as if bus
iness of importance would be trans
acted before long, several fine-looking
properties having uecn oonaou io
Eastern capitalists, and one or two
sales made, the consideration being
snug little sums. Developments have
been going on quietlv, and several
claims, considered poor properties
two oi three months ago are turning
out to be very valuable claims, and
held at good figures by the lucky
owners.
At the Cou. Arizona mill and nrne
work is buing pushed vigorously. The
mill is expected to be started up by
January next, and from the looks ol
the several h mdred tons ol ricu ore
on the dumps, there will be a fine lot
of bullion shipped as soon as tne mm
will be put in operation.
For lourteeu aays past tae imu-
garina mine nas Kept we icrrc

splendid result is anticipated in the
way ot snining uars oi biiver.
From the Ploinosa mine, near Sil

tracted, aad Messrs. Wood and Rice,
the proprietors, nnd two pioneers ol
this much-matignca uui ncii uistnci,
are sanguine ol showing up a very
valuable mine in a snort time.

their valuable claims, which, if more
developed, would undoubtedly lake
rank atnoncr the richest m ineuisinci,
that is if size of ledge and results of
assays from the ores on the dumps
can be taken as proof ot their intunsic
value.
In the Sierritas. Mr. Jack Mnhols,

no means his worst customer), is haul

a good round sum is in store for him .

An oriranization has already been
effected for the purpose of building n
railroad nn the Santa uruz river mi uie
Son or line. It is the intention of the
nroiectors of this line to extend the
road on to llerniosillo to connect with
Guaymas. We do not kuow at this
wrilintr when WOrK Will UCKI",
u-heiher detailed arrangements have
been made to secure the money with
which to build the road ; but that it
will be built by some company, and
that, too, liefore long, we have not the
least doubt.
Tr has lieen intimated of late that
there was a strong probability of the
Southern Pacific Compauy taKing iiom
of this route, or a similar one, in the
of a few months. I hat com
pany needs coal, which cannot oe
ie.1 froat anv other source so
eilv and cheanlv as from the coal
fields of Sonora, which lie almost on a
direct line from this p.aeetouuay-
mas. There is also another anu im
portant reason why the Southern Pa
cific will take hold ot a branch io
Guaymas. When their road is com
pleted through to Galveston or some
other point on the Gulf of Mexico and
the Atchlsoo. Topeka and Santa Fe
is completed to Guaymas, they will
operate as competing roads. The
Southern Pacific will then have a com
pleted road from the Gull of Mexico
to the Pacific, at 3an Francisco. By
building a branch from Tucson to
Gunymas it shortens their route to the
Pacific about 750 miles, making a line
about 1,400 miles from the Gulf of
Mexico to the Gulf of California, mare
han r- thousand miUt horier than
either the Union and Central Pacific
route or the Atchison, Topeka and
Santa Fc route. It would open up a
line which could never be shortened
or improved upon, and one which
could successfully compete for the
China and Japan trade for all time to
come. The Atchison and Topeka
folks, bv building their Guaymas
branch, "have forced the necessity
upon the Southern Pacific of building
a competing line, and that it will be
done there is not the least doubt- The
Southern Pacific is one of the strong
est companies in the field, and is man
aged by far-seeing, shrewd business
men who are ever on Uie alert, n-d so
far thev have out-generalcd their East
ern opponents all the way through,
and will not now. at this late date,
sutler a tlefeat when they can, with so
so trifling an outlay, achieve such
great advantage over all competitors.

The readers of Uie Citizen have
been made well acquainted with the
merits of the Golatree mine, as well
as many other of the tine properties
lving in that section of the Santa Rita
mountains. Mr. J. II. Campbell, who
was one of the original locators ot the
Goldtree, has been on a visit to his
home in Missouri, and his return was
noted in Uie last issue of this paper.
Mr. Campbell, before going, purchased
Uie Goldtree, and while East organ
ized a company to work Ute mine.
The Citizkn is therefore able to an
nounce that the necessary money has
been subscribed to open the Goldtree
mine on a scale to assure its success
ful working. A 30-ton smelter has
been purchased, and will be working
as soon as it can be shipped and set
up. The Citizen renews its future
prediction that the Goldtree will one
day be recognized as a great mine,and
its production of bullion will go far
to assure owners of property in the
vicinity, and make a great camp in
the vicinity of the old Major Hill. To
Mr. Campbell's stirring energy this
result will be greatly duo, aud he de
serves for the same the best of for
tune. The furniture lor the new railroad
buuk-house has arrived, and the boys
arc bu ilv engaged putting their home
in order! But few railroads are so
thoughtful f the comforts of their
empires as the SouthcVn Pacific,

Towbstonb. December 21. It has
been some time since my last Iciu r,
but it has been no fault of mint.-. and
the only excuse I can gie is the
scarcity of news.
The ttown is filled with strangers,
and everything is running along as
smoothly" as one could wish. All the I
stores are receiving a large stock of I
Christmas goods for the holidays.
The stock at Marshall Williams' is1
worth one's while to see, aud I have
no doubt that it will surpass anything
of its kind in the Territory. Glover
& Co. also have a fine stock ot gents'
goods.
Speaking ol stores, Mr. Kelly, of
Kelly's Wine House, is erecting a fine
building 'on Allen street, near Uie
Grand note!, which will be occupied
on the 28d instant by Dillon & Kenelay
dy, importers of fancy dry goods and
genu Inrnisliings.
Last Sunaay evening tne ucv. jr.
Woods dedicated his new church. At
Uie service a collection waa taken up to
cover the debt on the new church, and
the people responded most generous

The Presbyterian and -UeUioaist
churches will have Christmas trees
for the little ones ot their Sunday
school classes.
Now, as to the minus. There hare
been no important strikes in any of
them during the past week, except
the Sunset; but they have all been
steadily increasing in body and rich

make an important strike.
The Sunset, in shaft Ko. s, at uie
depth of 100 feet struck a large body
of ore which assays wen up.
The JJraUfrhaw is loosing newer
than it ever has, and Uiey are now
sinking on as good a body of ore as
has ever been struck iu camp, uiey
are now down about 160 feet.
Mr. Bilicke is still sinking on his
Allen street sliaa of the Mountain
Maid, and there is every indication of
striking a large body of ore before
they go many teet deeper.

the machiucry in the new hoisting

A circular has recently been issued
bv the Commissioner of Uie General
Land OIHce, which is of interest not
only to mine owners but to newspa
pers as well, since it fixes the price of
publication for mining patents. The
circular is as follows :
" It has been represented to me by
the publishers and numerous other
persons interested, that the rate of
compensation prescribed by me and
promulgated in official circular of
April 20, 18S0, for Ihe publication of
notices of intention to apply !or pat
ent to mining claims, is inequitable
and in man' instances inadequate.
' Since the promulgation of the
former circular, additional lacts have
been brought to my attenUon, and I
am led to believe that a more just and
satisfactory rule would be to make the
price to be charged for the publica
tion of such notices depend on the
space which they occupy in the col
umns ot the newspapers designated by
Uhe llegisteis.
, T. ... ., ....-J t I.-..-
r or ine reason unci i uac wu
cludcd to modify the former circular
in this respect and direct that here
after the maximum charges for such
notices shall not exceed $5 for each 10
lines of space occupied; where a week
ly newspaper is designated as the me
tfium of publication, and $7 where a
daily newspaper is designated, said
sums to be in full payment ior publi
cation in each issue ot the newspaper
designated for the entire period re
quired by law.
" It should be borne in mind that
these notices must not be abbreviated
as to curtail Uie description essential
to a perfect notice, and the said rates
arc established upon the understand
ing that they are to be in the usual
body-type as nonpareil.

sad interest for her sorrowing friends
In Tucson and be appreciated by those
who have known the deceased lady's
worth :
"Mary D. Ware, daughter of thp
late Hon. Thos. I). Ware and Mrs.
Mary A. Ware, was born in Cincin
nati, January IS, 1853, and was mar
ried to Mr. John P. Clnm in Novetn-
ber, 1S76, at Delaware, Ohio. De
voted to the interests of her husband
and home, she accompanied him to
his perilous post at the Sac Carlos
Agency, since which time Iter home
has been in Arizona. In hours of
sorrow, silence is golden. Sadness
dwells among the hosts of friends
who had the pleasure of her acquam
tanc, but beyond the deep, dark val
ley, through which all must pass, an
unsullied soul has gone and waits on
the other side for the loxcd members
of the broken circle. To-day weeping
friends will attend Uie remains to its
last repose, where, sleeping in a city
that knows no waking, save the gen
tle rustle of the bending grass, and
that is never disturbed save by the
soft rapping of pick and spade, one of
the loveliest of her sex will be given
into the keeping of Mother Earth.
Nights and days will pass in an un
broken d it a in. the drapery of a last
resting ylace only to be pierced by the
light of the everlasting dawn."

That monster ol the deep, Uie Great
Eastern, the largest steamship ever
built, has serred one excellent use
since her failure as a passenger vessel,
having been just the craft to lay the
Atlantic cable. She is now to be put
to a new use, having been fitted up
with refrigerating machines for the
preservation of fresh meat. The Great
Eastern Fresh Meat Compnuy will
import meat into England from the
United States and the Biver Platte.
This mammoth vessel carries such a
vast cargo that the cost of taking beef
to the Liondon market is expected to
be but two cents a pound, so that the
bestsieaks can be sold at sixteen cents
a pound. The magnitude of the
Great Eastern is vividly suggested by
the statement that the vessel will
carry 20.000 head of cattle. , The moat
remarkable leature ol the scheme is
tiat of slaughtering the animals at
sea, it being Uie purpose to slaughter
and- store in Uie refrigerators 1000
bead of cattle daily after the vussel
leaves port. Why such a plan should
be auoo'ed does not appear, since it
would seem more economical to
slangbter the animals on land, the
amount of marketable meat in each
cargo cou I i thus be increased and the
quality of the meat would be better.
Before the ten year charter of the
Great Eastern expires the plan of
slaughtering at sea will probably be
abandoned. As the new enterprise in
which the vessel is to be employed is
an indication of Uie extension of the
meat trade of the United States with
England, the success of the latest and
perhaps the last project of the Great
Eastern is to be earnestly wished.

two feet of very rich rock. The 00

Sinking cannot be resumed until

Ten tons have just been shipped to

A correspondent on Turkey Creek

Preeot Democrat .j
A correspondent wrltiog from Tip
Top says :
What has become of the Arzon i
Onlral Railroad? I hnyeut heard
nnrthing about it since election. I
hope the company have not given up
the idea of building it. I am and
have been iu favor of this ana an otin :
railroads. We can't have too m-iiiy
of them built, into the country. Th y
in hfina nut our miuc.-i, and that i.s
ii imv here. I should say, troni
the vote cast for Stewart in this
.ntT- and esuecially in Prescott,
Lthot the people wore in favor or the
bianeh roau. ow"" "u3 "
in favor of it, and he got a majority
in ihe county."
We cannot give our informant, any
definite information in regard to the
proposed road, nor can we say if
either of the companies who have in
corporated will build it. Tho Demo
crat, like its correspondent, is also in
favor of railroads, and believes that
Arizona cannot have too many of
them But it does not believe in
granting subsidies for Iheir benefit.
The inference drawn by our corre
spondent from the vote cat for Stew
art nnd in the county is a natural one.
Ti,t the maioritv received by Mr.
Stewart, was an indorsement of his
action on the railroad bill cannot be
disputed. Prescott, which pays half
the taxes of the county, gave the sub
sidy catididate the largest majority of
any precinct iu the county. There
is only one conclusion to be drawn,
and that is that the people want t'-e
road aud will stand the subsidy. The
Democrat opposed the measure, be
lieving it for the best interests ot the
people to do so; but if a majority are
fn favor oi It, why, it gracelully submits-

nection with his broker, anil is thus
advised or all indications that may
appear on the financial horizon He
is thus enabled to invest his heavy, in
come in an adrantagoous manner at a
distance of 9000 miles. Among the
recent financial facta is the big check
made out at Uie United States Treas
ury in favor of Wiliiam for $60,000,
being quarterly interest on his share
in the Government loan. The pres
ent amount of the national aeot is
1 SJO,000,000, of wluch he owns f ou,-
000,000, or l-30th part. He may ue
considered the largest holder of such
property in the world, and his inter
est at 4. jier cent, is $340,000 a veat.
W'i thus see tnat ne a raws twu per

who has so suddenly taken the lead ut

but death or idiocy can prevent Wil
liam from being the richest man in
ih(. world. It he lives ten years he
will be worth not less than $300, 00O,-

ible, but it is not more so than the
increase during the oast accaae. l ea
years ago William was an neu pros-
jwctive, nut personally consmeriyi, no

profits are carefully invested. lie
probably now accumulates $5X0,000 a

lie idle. Any one can sec how rapidly
such accumulation wiil reach even
such a sum as Is mentioned above.
r.Ioctrio Light i k Quarts Mill.
The Ituttn. Montana. Miner says:
On Monday evening the city council
and city officials, together with a large
number or other citizens, some acconv
1 hv ladies, visited the Alice
mills to witness the operation of the
electric light. Notwithstanding a vio
lent snow-storm was raging, me en
tire uartv was treated to a most beau-
lisul sight as they approached Walker
villc. On the top of the hoisting
works annearcd a light, which in the
escaping steam, seemed like a ban oi
' . ... -
fire rolling in the neavens, wnne
through the windows of the mill the
lifht alione beautifully distinct and
cheerful. The nartv was met by Mr
KuthraufE,wl!0 escorted them through
the mills, showing the operation of
the lights and exalaining how the
electricity was generated and manip
ulated. All remerked on tbe great
steadiness and beauty of the light, and
all pronounced it an entire success
The members ol the council particu
larly were unanimous in expressing
tbeir satisfaction with the power and
brilliancy of the light, and Mayor
Valiton says will probably report
unanimously in favor of its adoption
by the city. The lights are now being
nin all night with perfect success

A miner working in the bottom of the
winze, known as Uie 460 level, while
engaged -Jul picking ore early Tues
day morning, suddenly disappeared
through the bottom of the winze and
dropped a distance of about thirty feet
into a large cave of ore, ou the top of
which he had unknowingly been
working. 'Hie miner swears that he
fell a distance of 3,000 feet, that
took him an hour-ami a half to reach
bottom, and that he smelt brimstone
on the route. The cave is very large-
ami contains vast quantities of ore
During the week the men have been
engaged limbering this portion of th
mine and makiug it safe for them to
work iu, and they will to-day start in
exploring Uie new discovery. Two
assays were made of the ore, one going

it wonlu puzzle a man who was not
blind to put the pieces together. The

bottle, the top being large enough to
prevent it going down too far. Xcar
the other end of the stopper, in?Ulc

An Arizona Invention.
'Prescott Democrat.
M I) i r!as Brown, tha weu-
. !' c:ia er mid machines t, is the
p ..uT'.roti t-afe'y cnge for mines,
w .ich - th'.- moil perfect piece of me-chaui-in
f"r protection to life in the
working f mines that ba3 yet been
discovered. The new cage does not
(! p"iid iii-i.o the spring holding it to
thf .;u:'!f. hic-h is tlie great defect in
tU-oiu i.iiv iu Ubi-. The new inven
tien lia- two strong arms near the top
of the cage, which, in case or the rope
breaking, brings the "dogs" in con
tact with the guides, taking all action
off the spring it being Impossible for
the case io gam a velocity if the rope
should break, as it has only a drop of
half an inch belorc it strikes the lev
er. Mr. Brown has tried his model,
which only weighs eight pounds, run
ning at the rate of live hundred feet
per minute, earring thirty pounds
weight, and it proved a perfect suc
cess -bowing that the greater the
speed the deeper the " dogs " were in
serted in the guides.
Another important feature about
the new cage is what is called the
" detacher." This is so arranged that
if the cage should run into the sheaves,
as Irequentiy happens, the rope is de
tached as soon- as it strikes the frame
work, and the cage held firmly in its
Dlace. Many lives have been lost by
cages running into tho sheaves, and
this new invention enectuaity pre
vents it.
Mr. Brown has applied for a patent
to his new and valuable invention. It
is the most perfect piece of machinery
that has vet been devised tor tne sav
ng of life in mines, and no uouut win
be introduced everywhere. The new
machinery can be attached to the
cares now in use with but little labor.
The model is on exhibition at Kelly
& Stephens', and is well wormy or in

It was the anniversary of their gold

... w a . t
good old wife Hannah by trading off
a little bull calf, an old army musket
and a gum overcoat for a second hand
phaeton. He borrowed a young mule
on trial, and tbe " rig stood in front
of Ike's mansion waiting' for Ute old
woman to dress up, get in and give it
fair trial. Ike walked down tne
road about a mile to see the team as it
came and went, leaving Jim to " hole
dat 'or critter onlil his mammy took
hold ob de tines." The - genUe crit
ter " stood like "Patience on a mono

ladv got in. In tbe meantime " dat
'ar boy Jim " wasn't asleep. Hannah
came out, -cot In, took Uie reins and
said "Come up! but the mule didn t
aooear to want to ' come up " worth
a cent. Jim puncnea mm wiut
stick and Hannah tickled him with
the whip, but he stood like death up
aid Jim, and be went around, hoisted
that old mule's tail and put an old
hoop under it. The mule took a death
grip on it and started, Jim hanging oa
behind. Away he went, maklEg
time that would have made a locomo
tive ashamed of itself. Old Ike aaw
them coming and standing off to one
side to let them pais he elevated both
hands and yelled : " Hold on to de
pheton, Hannah ; hole on to de phe
ton ; freeze to de vehicle, Jim star
wid vo' mammy;" and Ike kept his
eye on Ute team until he saw a wreck
resembling Uie explosion of a aaw
mill. The mule had run into a milk
wagon. Ike's house is a hospital now
and he is using tbe " pheton for kind

More HemrtleMa than Wit.
Robert Cr is well, tbe man whose wit
gave the Oil City Derrick Us funny
reputation, played a heartless joke oa
a Cincinnati car conductor the other
day. Criswell was going home on
the horse -car m question, ana it was
crowded inside, so he loafed on tbe
rcar p'atform. The conductor to'.d
him to go inside. Criswell said lie
didn't care to go inside; but the con
ductor insisted, and loudly tlmuuuol
to put him off. Everybody began to
look at tbe dispute, but Criswdl .iw
nobody that knew him and deter
mined to have his joke. The conductor
yelled: "Come, young fellow, get
inside or 1 11 bounce you clear across
the street!" Criswell turned on him
in a severe manner : " My man, you
don't know who I am, but I've had
my eye on you for several days. There
are too many conductors like you on
the road, and we are losing irienas
every day because our patrons are in
sulted by conductors who are boors
aud ruffians. Now yon can pull the
bell cord and let me off. But you
need not lake the car out to-morrow ;
there will be a man to- take yotn
place. When you take the car in to
night turn over yonr bell-punch and
ak for your time. That will settle it. "
Taking a menial note of the number
ol the car, ho waited for it next day
and there was a new conductor. The
newspaperman asked: " Where is
the conductor who was on yesterday?"
" Oh,-" said the new man, " the blam
ed old fool tried to bounce a director
lost night, and he got fired."
