The railroad immigrant war begins to sssum,
an interesting phase. The New York Contra
railroad has reduced its rates to Chicago tc

have been taken of, which reduces the rates
IS to "a more. Not to be outdone, IT is re.
ported that the Erie and Pennsylvania rail-
roads have similarly reduced their fare to Chi
cago. This b regarded as only tie beginning
of the contest, ss the Vanderbilts have declared
their intention to reduce the fare to 81 q head,
In order to defeat the combination which Erie
has made with the steamship companies. In
addition tothis, the Tribune says ''the Central
people claim that The Pennsylvania railroad
owes them 1900 emigrant tickets"

THE telegraph wire went down some where between PheniX and Prescott on Monday evening. Excepting during the January flood in Salt river valley, this is the first break in that part of the military telegraph since its completion about Octo- ber20 1873.

Items About Florence.

By stage of Monday, Capt M. Roger:
 arrived from Florence with some men ir
 charge as noted in another column We
 interviewed" him on crops and business
 generally down that way and learned these
 facts:
 E. N. Fish & Co.'s new store-said to
 be the finest in Arizona-will be ready for
 occupation within five weeks.
 The crops about Florence look un-
 usually well, and they will probably ma
 ture with but single irrigation. Water
 is abundant. It is reported that the Pima
 Indians will have very large crops of
 wheat.
 Owing to the late Apache outbreak, mining was suspended in Pinal district,
 but Capt. Rogers says it his purpose to resume just as soon &s deemed safe. He says it is not yet time to hear from Q re- cent shipment of Silver Queen ore made to San Francisco, but he expects to very soon start twelve more tons from the same mine to that city. He brought in some specimens from the Silver Queen for a cabinet now being collected by E. NJ. Pearce, of Tucson, to send 10 Col. T. A. Scott's office in Philadelphia. These samples are rich in silver and copper. According to a return from several tons worked about year ago in San Francisco, the ore is 60 per cent copper and contains silver from Sl30 anG upwards per ton. There are two shafts respectively twenty three and thirty feet deep on the vein which is developed nine feet ill thickness. There are other very fine looking silver and copper lodges in Pinal district, but from all accounts, there is pay ore enough | ia the Silver Queen alone to run many reduction works and build up city and a business worth millions ot dollars annually. But the hostility of the Apaches has several times compelled the miners to abandon the district with con- loss in stock and other property. They ought to send for the soothing Dr. ronnor and induce him to illustrate his mysterious but presently incomprehen- lble modifying process on the Apaches yho depredate thereaway. This pa riotic- -peacemaking doctor ought to have n early chance to Oapply his peaceful res oratives Tn Pinal district. He says he's reparcd to guarantee good behavior of he Apaches, and it will be too bad if he e deprived of clear field and fine op- ortunity such as the Pinal miners may eadily tender him.
 Capt. Rogers brought for MT. Pearce's abinet specimen of quartz showing luch free gold with appearance of silver. is from a ledge recently discovered and laimed by II. D. Williams and Isaac Will ans, and is located about sixty miles est of Sacaton. The claimants are Flor nee men. They have bought wagon, )Ols, powder, and in fact complete lining outfit and are probably now at the inc, or Cn their way there, for the pur- 0se Of actual development. The dis Dvery is in the Papago country and erefore regarded safe for small working lrties.
