Murder in Tucson.

Refugia MarqueZ was cut to death on Thursday night about l0:30 o'clock, while in her house just south of Marsh & Co.'S meat market on Meyers street. Coroner Warner held an inquest over the body yes terday morning, and the jury-compoSed of fifteen men-unanimouslyf found "that "she came toIher death on July 9, 1874, by "wounds in the neck and body inflicted by " a knife; and that said knife was in the "hands Of, and said wounds were inflicted "by, Refugfo Riveras."
 Just before Riveras committed this deed, he made an attempt to assault A. Mickey, but the latter, by means of six-shooter, persuaded him to abandon the job. River as then went into the room where Mrs. Marquez and a man were, and after some words naSsed, he drew the knife, first slap ped her on the face with it and then plung- ed it into her neck and breast, and death soon followed. He then left and soon meeting Marshal EsparZa, assaulted him and succeeded in cutting him quite severe 1y in one arm and slightly in the neck 1; but the Marshal called for and obtained assistance and succeeded in placing the murderous ruffian in jail, although at the time, he knew nothing of the murder Ri veras had committed. After the Coron CTS inquest, he was taken before Judge Osborn for examination, which resulted in his be- ing com mmitted to jail to respond to the charge of murder in the district court. Very strong feeling was manifested against Rlveras and we are told that when Under Sheriff Van Alstine took him to the shop to be ironed, that officer deemed it prudent to return his charge to jail without waiting for the irons. Riveras has not borne a good reputation and has, as it seems, put lows.

Military Items.

May 9, Capt. A. H. Nickerson was ordered to proceed to his station at Pres colt, he having relinquished portion of his leave of absence.
 Adjutant- General Townsend decided, April 28, 1874, that acting assistant sur geons being only citizens under contract, they were not entitled to the customary salute from enlisted men, and that ar order to enforce such respect would not be based upon military law. The adjutant general thinks that the relation contract physician bears towards the hospital would make it hardly possible for any one to refuse him the same courtesy that is shown family physician.

THE OAKLAND TRIBUNE, whose editor has means of knowing what he asserts, says that Gov. L. Stanford is about to retire from the Presidency of the Central Pacific railway company and all its branches, and that Charles Crocker will succeed him; also that a new line of policy is to be inaugurated. Everything is to be reduced to the strictest business basis and all attempts to deal in public men, legislatures and the like, be entirely ignored. Charles Crocker was the super intendent of the road during its entire construction; then it's second ce-presi- dent; then severed his official relations with the company; then spent couple of years in Europe; then returned and in some railroad capacity visited Japan and China, and now comes to accept the head of the powerful company he 80 largely helped to create.

The Territory has but one patient there now, and that Mike Brasley tor some such name) of Prescott. June 2S, pr. Thorndike wrote the Governor that he had just conversed with pr. Langdon relative to Mikes con- dition and learned that he was quite well, and that as soon as assured his insanity would not return, would be discharged, which was believed would be in few days.

New Mexico and Colorado.

Enabling acts for the admission of New Mexico and Colorado passed the House of Representatives at the late session of Con- gress but did not pass the Senate. We are not certain whether the Senate voted upon the bills or not; but if not, they may pass that body next session and become laws this Congress. The prime objection was and is a want of population ill both Ter ritories for a member in Congress. By the last apportionment, population of 134, 900 is required for one member in the House in all existing States, save Oregon and Nevada which never has had that many, and were admitted without the req uisite number under the old apportion- ment which required about 93;e0O. The older States do not object so much to the Territories having a government of their own, as to the fact that by their admiS- sion as States they get two Senators and thus more and more destroy an equal rep resentation of the people in the Senate. Thus Nevada and Oregon both have little if any more population than is required by the apportionment Act for one member of Congress, and yet they have four Senators and therefore double the power possessed by New York in matters of legislation, which State has nearly forty times the population and more than a proportion ate amount of wealth over both those States combined. All the States with from one to more millions of people and material interests in proportion, are ob- jecting to the gradual destruction of their power by the further admission of States with less than 1S4,OOO or the requisite pop ulation for one member of Congress.

THE BoRDERER says that on June 23, H. Lesinsky & Go. shipped 10000 pounds cop per for the States. The bars are refined at Baltimore and only lose five per cent in the process. This copper comes. from the Clifton mines in Arizona, and it is a great pity anybody or thing should stand in the way of having that section excluded from an Apache eservation-especially when it is well-known that the Apaches never live near the mines nor even go there for any purpose.

The Wonderful Silver Mine in Nevada.

The 1880 foot level of the Consolidated
Virginia. the 'curve of the old Mexican
and Ophir," the 'heart of the Comstock.'
the "bulge of the bonanza the '.southw ard
drift OF the California" and such like
expressions are doubtless familiar to the
readers of the Gold Hill Ne,cs and of other
enterprising pioneer sheets disseminated
from the various Rocky Mountain peaks.
but some explanation will be necessary to
| enable the average Eastern reader to com
prehend them. There Is rich silver
mine in the State Of Nevada known
| as the Comstock Silver Lode, and 1.-THE
heart OF the ComstOck" refers to the central.
OF richest part of that mine or lode.
| This Comstock Lode has been divided I'D
and let out to be worked by different mimi
| companies. The Consolidated Virginia is
the name OF a company owning one of the
| claims, the California is the name of an.
other, and the Ophir is the name for the
company holding still another claim. What
is meant by the "sOuthward drift of the
California" will now be better understood.
As for the "bulge of the bonanza that ex.
preston doubtless refers to the swelling or
expanding form OF an exceeding rich vein
extending through the Comst0ck mine in an
Oblique direction from the bottom upwards.
And now, with this much of explanation,
the marvellous story which comes to the
East concerning the silver lode of Nevada
must be told.
The bonanza Chimney or rich vein was
discovered not long ago. 1t begins appar-
emily about four hundred feet south Of the
California claim, and gradually widening
extends through the California, the Ophir
and the Virginia claims. 1t is as if Hercules
from his position among the consultations
had cast q gigantic silver spoon down to
the earth. As it buried itself many hun
dreds of feet beneath the serface the heat of
the conclusion caused it to melt and mingle
with the baser matter, such as rock and
clay. Leaving the rest of the world at the
surface, we will now dive down into the
silver mine and see what is to be seen. The
cage is lowered in few seconds to the
depth of 1900 feet, when spacious under |
ground chamber, called Station ia
reached.
From this large chamber tunnel leads
directly east to the main north and soutb |
drift, the great highway of this level of the |
mine, and which extends southwark |
through the Best e. Belcher into the Gould |
q Curry, and northward through the Cal |
ltornia and Ophir claims Crossing this
principal thoroughfare of the level and
continuing on in an easterly direction the
cross cut is reached. 1t ia here
in this drift that the wonderfully rich ore
Of which SO much has been said and written
10 found. The ore was only moderately rich
when it is first cut by the drift, but it
'apidly grows richer. and after few steps |
t becomes ''glittering."
The drift has now penetrated the mass of
IRE distance of about twenty-five feet.
The workmen who are found in the dark
,avern throw down their picks, and with
heir lamps exhi bit the sides of the glitter
ng masses. This ore," says the pilot.
yields an average assay Of $500 per ton,7
