GRAVEL MINING AT CHA
CITY.

The company who have erected ex-
tensive steam hydraulic works at ella
city, for washing the gravel drifts
near the river, have at last got to
work in earnest, and so far as we can
learn, with satisfactory results. There
is quite history to that scheme, be-
sides the first work done there in a
rude style, but at present we can only
allude with qualification to the fact of
the later works and success. The
steam power is located at the river
bank, from where the water is driven
out south to the claim, distance of
several hundred yards, through an s.
inch pipe and Ii inch nozzle, and the
hydraulic process is necessarily pretty
effectually carried out. The work
goes on day and night. We hope to
hear of placer gold shipments Of i'm
portance from CHA.

Biographical.

John G. Capron, of San Diego, and
proprietor of the stage line between
that place and Tucson, is q native OF
Ohio--a State where a good many
good people are brought forth to emf
Crate; for instance, ourself. Capron
was initiated into the mysteries and
beauties of the Great Southern Over
land Mall route fourteen years ago
so long ago that he may have grand
children along the route. In short,
ne is generally about the quickest man
on trigger we ever did see at large.
san Diego is new and fast town, and
has a good many wido-awake people,
but after careful survey of 1.-The har-
Dor, climate" &C., Wen bet odds on
Capron as a man who gets all over
the place IL less time, and does a good
deal OF business at every house Ill
town, quicker than all the balance Of
the people put together. The only
way 10 catch him at al, i; to act
somewhat after the styl9 of the drunk
en- man and the bed that he intended
to jump into just as soon as it came
round again-stand on some promi-
nent corner, and when Capron comes
round like q whirlwind, just go for
him. It is useless to say that such d
man can run stage line-it's fore
gone conclusion.

San Diego, Arizona City, Etc.

We intend TO write up in short
sketches, from week to week, q good
many different matters about San Di-
ego and along the road to Tucson, that
may be of general interest. There Is
q similarity OF interests between all
these points, and a good many people
At either end Of the route who have
never been over it, hence the hope thai
something OF the kind indicated will
be acceptable to q, majority OF our rea-
dors. We shall not spare individuals
where we think they axe deserving of
"a first rate notice" and We are fully
convinced that some fifteen or twenty
men and their Particular affairs, need
special mention in these columns. No
farther apology viii be made regard
ing the matter.

Post Office Hours.

The western mail, for long time past,
has been arriving on Sunday, and of late
the eastern one departing on the same
day. The public-or portions Of it-at
times become very impatient; often think
they are kept too long on the sidewalk !;
and occasionally one with less Judgment
than reason or understanding of the law
and regulations governing postal service
and officers, spits out his feelings in spite
full but harmless words, though if kept up
they may lead to less accommodation on
the part of Postmaster Lord. If the mails
were brought by the locomotive instead
of horse power, the time of their arrival
would be definite, and convenient hour
could be fixed upon Sunday for the office
to be open and all served.
section q of the Regulations of the P.
NJ General, says:
The postmaster will keep his office open
for the dispatch of business every day eX-
cept Sunday, during the usual hours OF
business in the place; and attend TO such
other hours as may be necessary to receive
and dispatch mails. When the mail ar
rives on Sunday, he will keep his office
open for one hour or more, i the public
c0uyeuience regui7e It, after the arrival and
assortment thereof unless it be during the
time of public worship; in which case he
will keep the Office open for one hour or
more, if necessary, after the religious ser
vices have ceased.
It is left to the Postmaster to decide
whether the public convenience requires
the office to be open on Sunday, and if it
be necessary" at any time before or after
religious services We know that Post
master Lord is determined 10 accommo-
date the public with their mails on Sun
days, but not at a time when another mail
is being despatched; neither will ignorant
or spiteful maledictions drive him to spe-
cial pains to serve unreasonable men.

Editors Journal: N[
Believing that you desire to main
tain the integrity of your journal, I
do not hesitate to ask you to correct
your statement of yesterday, in regard
to the election in our county. L con-
slider your article somewhat personal
as you say the poll book of Jackson
Township was distracted from the
Clerks office.
The only truth contained in your
information is that, at Fulda Precinct,
John G. Hartman. Republican, was
admitted into the room when the
votes were being counted, and, BY
consent. tailed for one of the clerks
some fifteen minutes. OF course Mr..
Hartman won't say that he Tailed
votes that were not counted. Nobody
was drunk, and at that precinct there
were cast Si.rty-Rine Republican votes,
and of course several Republicans
will swear they voted the Republican
ticket"
When the Board of Canvassers met
it was ascertained that the certificate
attached to the poll book, returned
by the Inspector of jackson Town
ship, had not been signed by the
judges and Clerks. After worry
ing" awhile, /, as the Clerk of the
Board, moved and carried an adjourn
ment until eight o'clock next morn
ing. The polEbook and tally-paper
of Jackson were kept by the In
spector, who was alone entitled to
them; and the next morning, when
the Board met, and when
jackson Township was called,
the certificate was properly signed By
the Judge, Clerk, and Inspector, and
was IN due conformity with the law.
/ will say that the poll-book had been
signed, but in the wrong place. If the
