The GAp>DEN SILVER MINES The San
Francisco Herald has been shown some spe-
cimens of silver ore taken out of the Sopori
mines in the Gadsden Purchase The niue
is located about forty miles from Tucson,
and twenty five from Calabazas The pro-
prietors are Messrs Douglas, Dodson, Al
drich and Rhodes. They are represented to
be inexhaustable, and can be traced per-
haps mile on the surface. The average
yield is twelve marks, or ninety six dollars
of pure silver to three hundred pounds of
ore, The character of the mine is volcanic,
aud water is convenient and plenty. MIR.
james Douglas, one of the proprietors. is an
old and experienced silver miner, and per-
sons visiting the country with the view of
examining its mineral resources, would do
well to call on him at his mine. The spe-
cimens exhibited to US were very rich.

A RIGHT "PEERT" BIRD.-We publish the

The Somerset (Pa.) Democrat says that
some time last fall black bird came to Mr..

since lived constantly with the chickens. 1t
has become thoroughly domesticated, and
comes regularly for its food Instead Of
roasting as the chickens do, it takes posi-
non on the ROSTERS back. who bears the
weight of his little friend with great good

that it has learned to crow like a cock, and
crows regularly more frequently than the
rooster. and seems to be vain Of its accom-

may regard all doubts as to their acclima-
