Engineering prorress.

Colonel George H. Wolcott, Chief of the Texas and Pacific engineering party, for some months at work in Arizona. came into town on Wednesday eyening, and the party is working this way from Pima Villages up what may be called the Santa Cruz valley. As soon as Lieutenant Ben dire can give an escort, Colonel Wolcott will proceed eastward with line just to the north and east of this town to the Cienega; thence skirt along the Wbet- stone range to and up the San Pedro river to suitable crossing. Another line win
 be run south of Tucson From the Ara yapa and Cila route, that ROW being run near Tucson, and the one further south. a permanent line will quite certainly be es- taollshed. So many propositions beside the mere cost of grading, enter into a
 choice, that 1t is waste Of words to spec

Local Mining naatters.

At no time in several years past has there been as much activity in mining af- fairs in this vicinity as at present. Sam uel Hughes and others connected with him; Dr. J, c. Handy, J. W. Hopkins and others interested with them; A. Linn. A. C. Benedict, H. Ott, H. II. Yerkes, John Davis, J. L. Stephenson, E. L. Lamoree, Juan Elias, Pedro and COnrado Aguerre, Dr Mckinney, and others whose names have escaped our memory, are all either personally engaged in mining pursuits or are expending money in them for them selves and associates. We hear it stated that Lee IG Scott contemplate resump- ton of work on their Neguilla mine ere long
 Evidence is daily accommodating which proves better than ever that the mount aims south and west of Tucson abound in valuable veins of copper, silver and some gold We have always been favorable to this opinion, but Owingto the ever present danger in these directions, it seemed to be a high duty not to publish statements, however true, that would lure men into the jaws of death and perhaps that death aggravated by torture. Danger no doubt still exists, but at this time of year it is always less than ID the warm ana wet seasons.
 Mir. I. J. Rolfe, miner of twenty years experience in Nevada county, California, has just been spending some time in the mining sections south of Tucson, and he IS of opinion that better fields for ener- getic and persevering prospectors need not be wanted. He thinks limited num- Der of such would be rewarded for fair examination of the country south of Tue son. Laborers without soJae means to carry on work, had better not come just yet. A large rush of them would injure the country by their tales of disappoint- ment occa5iOned by seeking hired employ ment where little of it is demanded.
 Whatever may or may not be done in the way of mining in this vicinity before the completion of the railway and subju- gation of the savages, all may rest assured that great wealth lies in our mountains which will be made available soon after wards

By next week, we may have returns enough to show exact majorities in each State on the Presidential issue.

LAST week THE CITIZEN referred to the shooting and death of Captain Hahn, at Arizona City, by William Pickens. A correspondent writes that " Pickens asked Hahn to drink and when he said he did not drink, Pickens slapped his face Hahn struck him with cane, when Pickens instantly shot him. Hahn originally came to Arizona with Quartermaster Hughes, and after an absence had lately re- turned. He was 0 peaceable man and his death is much regretted. Hahn's remains were buried with Masonic ceremonies on election day. Dr. Ben dell read the burial service. Chief Justice Titus, Delegate Mccormick and other visitors in Arizona City, joined the citizens in paying the last tribute of respect to the deceased.
 Pickens was arrested and lodged in jail"

SAMUEL HUGHES keeps more or less men prospecting and working on mines all the time, He has more than work enough done on the Montezuma to entitle him to a U. s. patent.
 His laborers came in this week with samples of ores from new discoveries which are quite exciting to men inclined to mining operations, and he intends to personally examine the ground early next week. The ore samples are nearly pure metal of some kind pro obably several kinds united. Theledges from which they are obtained are reported to be about six feet in thickness.
 Mir. Hughes has just received ton or so of ore from the Montezuma for ship m9nt to San Francisco. A previous lot of | it from the same mine was worked in San Francisco and gave satisfactory results.
 The locality of the MOntezuma and other discoveries is some thirty-fve miles southward from Tucson.

WILMINGTON. N. c., March o-Midnight
The immense rewards offered for the apprehen-
sion Of any member OF the Lowery gang OF outlaws
has proven strong incentive TO many adventurous
individuals to attempt their capture dead or alive.
To-day report reached this city TO the eject that
"BOss'' Strong. one OF the leading outlaws was
killed last night In his house at Scufietown by
white man named Mcqueen.
he cREPT UP TO THE DOOR OF THE CABIN
on his hands ana knees, and looking through cat
hole saw Strong lying on his back on the moor,
playing the banjo, with his brother sitting near
him. Mcqueen drew up his rine and shot "Boss''
Strong through the head killing him instantly. He
then went to Moss Neck and reported the fact,
and crowd was organized yesterday to 60 after
the body to try and recover It. They have not yet
been heard FROM This news Is not positive,
but 1t comes pretty well authenticated ana Is
generally believed to be true.
There Is no confirmation OF the report that Henry
Berry Lowery, the CHIEF OF the outlaws, has been
killed by his brother
Several parties in this State and the adjoining
State OF Virginia are organizing to effect the cap
ture OF the gang.

vIRaINIA's FINANCIAL GHOST.

The Virginia Legislature Passing Bill
Repudiating the One-Third OF the Old
Public Debt and Making West Virginia
Responsible for 1t.
RICHMOND. March o. 1872
The Legislature having settled the Funding bill to
It's satisfaction, despite the Governors veto has
now introduced bill, which has passed to It's en-.
grossmenI by o large majority utterly repudiating
the one-third Of the state debt which, 1t Is con-
tended, rghtfuly belongs to West Virginia. me
bill declares that under no clrcum stances will vir-
gina ever recognize the validity OF any portion Of
that third or redeem the certificates which have
been issued for 1t under the Funding act
passed at the last session, and which has
been virtually repealed. These certificates
OF indebtedness nave been quoted in
the markets lately at about eighteen cents. The
foreign insurance and other comp anies who have
deposited them with the Treasurer as security to
indemnify their policy holders are, by the terms OF
this bill, required ~ withdraw them at once, and
replace them BY recognized bonds OF the state or
other valid securities.
This bill which will, no doubt, pass, Will proba-
bly, AFFECT the price Of the West Virginia cer Gates.
1t VIII also bring the question before the Legisa-
ture or Constitutional Convention OF that State,
where movement Will probably be made to have
them acknowledged and provisions made for their
payment, although the sentiment In that State is
strongly against the acknowledgment OF LIABILITY
for any portion OF the old public debt.
