WEEKLY MINING REPORT. The Fermanenl Wntcr ltesion Fount! In Urand Central. The permanent water region in llie Grand Ctntrnl mine has been found, and at 18 feel below where first struck, the flow became so strong thitt work hud to be suspended last Wednesday, and now it lms raised up to the point where the first seep age was discovered, muking 18 feet in the shaft. -No further sinking can be done until a pump is put in to bundle the con. stantly increasing flow as they go down. Mr. E. B. Uugc, superintendent of the mine, is now East, having been called away by the death of his mother, which occurred in Lowell, Mass. Ho will be ab sent a month or six weeks, and until his retum no decisive action will be taken as ilu whether pumping machinery will be Jmmedlaicly put in, or the work of (level opmcut be continued from the COO foot pevel upwards. It is to be hoped Unit Mr. (Gage will decide to follow up the import Ant work that he bus thus far so success fully carried out in the systematic devel opment and working of this great prop. eriy. Should ho decide upon pumping machinery whin ho leturns, it will take at least ninety days to get it In working order, tliertJire, under the most favorable clicumsiancts, at leitt four months must elapse before any sinking can he done. There is a very great interest foil in this matter by every miner in the district, for the reason that so much de pends upon, results below water, level. OjmHInglitw already 'betirietliea'lnTiie Grand Central mine, and that is, the ledge is quite as strong on the 000 foot level as at any point above, and quite as well de fined. Another mutter has also been ob served, which was noted in our report last week, that the ore has become nearly all .free gold, the silver being very light. ..However this may bo to-day, no deductions -us to the future can be drawn from this tact as to what the fute of the mine will Ijc, whether gold, silver, or both.

A huge body of good oro has been struck near the line of tho Stonewall, which proves the ore-bearing continuity of i lie ledge for at least 1,400 lect cast ol where the titbt rich discovery was made. It is more thuu probable that this will prove one of tho great mines of the district from the fact that it is a true contact vein be tween lime and quartzite, with true vein filling between. Ntonewall. Work progresses at the usual rate on this mine, and the huge amount of oro already taken out attests tho capacity of tho ledge to produce good results for the future.

COl'l'KIt AOAIV. die people of Arizona, svliero To so many and rich lodes and deposits of copper exist, and where so many new works are being erected for the reduction of tlio ore, thero is deep interest felt in the production of the metal in other localities liable to affect the stability of the market. There aro some exceedingly inter esting statistics in paper number tliroe, on "The History of tityper Mining of Lake Superior," published in the Engineering and Mining Jour nal, of Now York, Marcii 25th. In speaking of the Calumet & Hecla, tho author, Charles E. Wright, com missioner of mineral statistics for the Slate of Michigan, says. At the close of .18(35 its stock was ket4 at 01, and, though assessment fnllnv "H'U Ufc&essiiicnt in rpiu sue- the favoral))o result of inin- cession inir opera Wiis kept the stock up at Irnrh tii'urt , '" 1800 a now com pany, the IkW, was formed which worked indent, atl.v n,liii l8' when the two ct. vpcs were con solidated. At tha.' t" the assess ments on tho Hecla hM amounted to Hi) per share, and the imkwlB had been $32.50; while the (h"nt Imd called for lo it share, am' 'iat' re turned that amount to its sha,-eJoid-ers in the sliapo of dividends. .Since then tlieso have been continued quur terly, with occasional extra divi dends, making, in tho aggregate, 0,350,000, the mine paying besides for tho grandest equipment in the possession of any one mining com pany on tho continent. By tho ex tensive, use of power drills 02 Rand drills being at woik and an elabo rate plant for pumping, hoisting, overground transport-ition, stamping and dressing, this mine handles over 1,000 tons of rock per day, almost all of it being rich enough to be pro fitably treated. It is thus in a po sition to produce annually from 15.000 to 10,000 tons of refined cop per, from oro that yielded in 1875 4A per cent of that metal The Calumet & Hecla does not, like many other Lake Superior min ing companies, print full statements las to tho cost of mining and dress TOMBSTONE, ing; and as none of tho others ap proach it in magnitude or aro similar enough in character of tho. rook worked, it vWould not be possible to make approximately fair deductions from their results. To give a"n idea, however, wo may assume that as the dividends amounted to $2,000,000 in 1881, on a product of 32,000,000 pounds, the balance of receipts from sales ofcopber (say 5;ti00,000) was the cosfofproduotion, or $.T,(iOO,000, wliichjLvrqtild give us a little over 11 ceiitsTperjiotinil marketed coppenvr In addition to a. brief history of this celebrated mine we have arrived at the most important factor in this whole question, and that 'is, tho cost or." production to this one company, which alono stands in a position to fix the price of copper in the markets of the United States. It will be seen' that should the supply increase to such an extent that the price would fall below 11 cents per pound, Calu met & Hecla will either bo. com pelled to close down or run at a loss. None of the other Lake Su perior companies are in a condition to produce copper at -so low a figure as this mammoth corporation. The question with Arizona companies is, can they produce copper at n lower rate than 11 cents per pound? We do not know how it is with the-CiiftS'rir mine, but can answer for the Copper Queen. The conditions surrounding this company are such that the abso lute cost of production and market ing does not, probably, reach 10 cents, and possi' ly not over 8 cents per pound, aud . with more extensive works and a railroad to Bisbee, by which freights wold bo lessened, the actual cost might be reduced to as low a figure as G cents. Of the Santa Catalina companios no esti mate can bo mado until their fur naces aro running and the tractabll ity of the oro for reduction is estab lished. So it is of the Peabody and Black Bear companies, and in fact all others than the Clifton, whose repu tation has long been established. Should the many mines in this terri tory that are now being put upon a working, and wo trust, paying basis, turn out anywhero near so well as Copper Queen and Clifton then Lake Superior will have to do better in the future thai) she has in the past or submit to a gradual extinguishment. The following is the latest New York quotations and remarks on tho subject of. copper, taken from tho Engineering and Mining Journal: Tha deadlock between producers and consumers still continues, and tho situation remains practically as it has been for weeks. Nothing has been done, and the mining companies insist firmly on l!)c., while actually small lots of Lake came into the market at 1919.jo. Arizona cop per is commencing to assume a. posi tion in the markets, and while it is not sold at figmes quite as high as those of Lake, those who have tried it confirm the inferences whiih may bo drawn from the reports and chem ical analyses as to its quality. The concessions' now mado are those inci dent to the introduction of a new brand. The Ansonia Brass and Coo per company, who get tho Copper Queen black copper, refine it and market the excess over their own re quirements. To their plant of three six-ton ordinary refilling furnaces, they have recently added, at great expense, a Siemens legenerative teu ton refining furnace, the first one put up in the country for the purpose. The object has been to avoid by this means the changes in tho pitch of the metal, which so easily occur in ordinary refining, and to secure uni formity of product, an important de parture. Their copper is quoted at 1,9 cents. Now that the bosses have returned from their bootless raid and the boys have been compelled to take a back seat, business around the sheriffs of fice languishes. How would it look if the next expedition were sent out after iho "gentlemon" participating in tho last Bisbee stage robbery, who aro known to be in tho neigh borhood, and for whom warrants have beon issued ? And would the gentlemen composing tho last pose go ? And if they went would they bring them in ? We await a reply to these qouries. Tiik maudlin sentimentality dis played by tho Nugget over a dead murderer and thief is only equaled by tho sickening sympathy always shown by that journal for a liyo one. When tho sentiment of this com munity is such that it will not toler ate robbers and assassins or their sympathizers, wo may expect pros perous and peaceable tunes, and not before.

To the congressman who persistently urged the appointment of the postmaster, tho president said: "Whatever mjbe your feelings in this matter, you must remember that have the apppintment in'4i.ind to" make utul the responsibility is with me; I cannqt concede to members of congress the absolute right to dictate appointments in their districts; it is apparently the ambition of every member of congress to be deputy president in his region, aud I do not intend tt be dictated to in the future; I am willing to take representations of members of congres: ns I would those of any other respectable load ing citizen, but I do not intend to be guided arbitrarily. by-the' demand of members of congress in making appointments." To other members of congress who have called within the last two days to ask for appointments in departments, the president said: "I will not consider any such ap pointments; you must go to the members of the cabinet for this sort of thing." Oxford Crew Victorious. London, April 1. In the boat race to-day the Oxford crew won by one length. Later. The Oxfords won by six boat lengths. The Cambridge crew was first to come out on tho river; they took the Middlesex side. Final betting was five to one on Oxfords. The boats started at one minute past one o'clock; the Cambridgo was the first to take to the water and im mediately led by full half a boat's length but was caught and passed by the Oxford boat be fore fifty yards had been traversed. At the soap, works, one mile and a half from the stalling point, the Ox ford crew were leading by two lengths; at Hammersmith Bridge, two furlongs further on, they were four lengths in front, of the "Cambridge, and off Cheswick Mall, tho latter seemed to be fairly done with. The Oxford crew finished in good form; they won ps they pleased. The Can bridge men were exhausted at the finish, and their rowing was ii regu lar. Inipendin Ci'Ihin in fopnln. Ni:v Yokk, Marcii 31. A cable special to the fjerald from Loudon says: Another political crisis appears to be threatening in Madrid. Segas ta's position is much vveakdned by the growing popularity of several of his colleagues and the heterogeneous character of tho cabinet. The hos tilo feeling is very strong in the pro vinces, especially against the minis ters of finance, ot the inteiior and of justice. A stormy debate was ex peoted in the congress on the pro posal of the democrats and conserv atives to move a vote of censure on the ministers, and Segasta, at the ur gent request of his colleagues, de termined te infer Irom tho resistance to both opposition and the malcon tents of his own party, that the liber als aro losing ground both at court and in public. The advantage they won in debate is only temporary. Tne Wny to ct 'Km. iNDKPENDKNcn, Mo., March 31.

Little has received $1,000, being part of tho 85,000 paid Police Commis sioner Craig. Should tho capture of Little's pals be effected, Craig and Governor Crittenden, between whom the plan was evolved, will receive in the neighborhood of $200,00i, the aggregate amount of reward offered, minus tho 5,000 to be paid Little. The Wrecked Steamer. Mum puis, March 31. Tho steamer Fulton, which conveyed Captain .Vc Intyre and party to tho wreck of the Uoiden City, has just returned. A diver went down, but could do i.oth ing. The wreck lies in twenty-five feet of water, the hull up stream, and the current so swift that all efforts to Ho through tli cabins by the clivers proved fruitless. No other dead bodies have been recovered since the one mentioned yesterday, whi "li has been identified as that of Mis. Anna Smith of Springfield, Mass., who has been visiting relatives in New Or leans. The I.oiiirent Hullroad In the Country. Milwaukkk, Wis., March 31. Special notico of the fact is made that within thirty days the Milwau kee & St. Paul railroad has absorbed four different railroads, tho Hast ings & Stillwater, tho Illinois & Wisconsin, the Jancsvitle, Rockford & Beloit and Iowa & Eastern. All tho transfers were made so quietly as to escape ut'otninn. The aggro gato value of the four lines is over two hundred millions, making the St. Paul road, by long odds, the most ex tensive system of railroads in the country. Treasure Trove. St. Louis, April 1. Two laborers, while digging a drain on the premises of James E. Haggerty; on Collins street, to-day, unearthed a largo pot, tightly sealed, which proved to con tain a large amount of English sov ereigns, American silver dollars, and a lot of continental currency. The money has not yet been counted, but there is probably $20,000 to $30,000 of coin, which is dated last oentury. The currency bears date 1777. The house was occupied by Montgomery Blair many years ago, but afterward passed into the possession of Samuel Gaty. A Ills nay's Work. Chicago, April 1. A Times' Pu eblo special says that between two or three o'clock this morning, a mob of sixteen men quietly took from tho county jail two notorious cattle thieves, named Ph ebus and Me- Graw, and hung th -m to a tree on Santa Ke avenue, within one hundred yards of the jail. Thore is an organ ization in the county known as the Cattlo Growers' Association, a branch of the stato organization, composed of cattle growers, for tho protection of tieir property, There is little or no doubt that the mob was composed of members of this association. The lynchgnext rodo to a ranch ten miles sway, surrounded the house, and captured S. P. Chastine, Billy Chastine and Frank Owsley. Their hands were securely bound, and they were put on horses and taken to a thick patch of timber. There is "but one of the gang left. Xot Yet Signed. Washington, March 31. The cabinet meeting to-day was devoted chiefly to the consideration and dis cussion of the Chinese immigration bill. No conolusion was reached with regard to it. The president an nounced a special session to be held Monday, wh n the bill will bo dis posed of. Wednesday is the last day the president can hold the bill. Senator Miller, of California, and Jones, of Nevada, called on the president after the cabinet meeting, and both are sure there Till be no veto. Others who visited the presi dent think the bill will he returned to congress with a request that the twenty-year clause be reduced to ten years, when he will sign it. Drift of Opinion. Washington, March 31. The drift of outside opinion lato to-night seems to be in the direction of a veto. Execution f a Mhlllst. New York, April 1. A Herald's St. Petersburg special says that Lieut.

Co. as an amul gamator. I examined the tracks of the assissins the next morning and I think I could recognize the boots that made them. One was made by a heavy boot and the other looked as if it had been made by a fine one. The coroner produced the boots taken from Grounds and Hunt. This pair (holding up one pair) lnlnht be one of thosepfthlch made the tracksb'u I am not sure. I have examined thetiiOrsS at He corral and think that one tV ihcm. the large one, could have made' one set of tracks which were at the mill that morn ing. I do not thluk. that the ot'ier ono could have tho horse which made the other tracks, EIINK&T MCCLtKK testified next: I live in Charleston; am by occupation a merchant. I examined the tracks and could tell something us to the boots which made them. Witness ex. amined the boots One pair of these boots may have produced one of the tracks mode. I think that one of the horses at the stable will make one of the tracks pro duced at the mill j. i:. SMITH testified as below. 1 live at Charleston, and am a carpenter. I examined the tracks on the hill above the office the morn ing after the shooting. I cannot identify any of these boots as having made the tracks. They are tw large, but may have made a track smaller than these would ap parently make; am satisfied in my own mind that none of these boots would have made the tracks. As to the horseajn' Dunbar's corral, one of them mighfave made one of the trucks. I am not nn ex. nert trailer of either men or stock. p..n.
