PRESCOTT, September 4.-Maj. McDaniel of the law-tirm of Ga ahl & McDaniel, has returned to Prescott from Bradshaw dis trIct, where he spent several days looking at the Tiger, War Eagle, Benton, Grey Ea- gle Cougar, and other mines; with all oi which he expresses himself highly pleas ed. The Tiger dump first attracted his at- tention, composed as it is of zoo or 500 tons of the richest silver ore, all Of which was quarried out of one shallow shaft. While there he purchased several hundred feet in the Cougar mine, and set two men at work developing it, and will shortly ship fifteen or twenty tons of the ore to san Francisco. He some time ago sent a sack of the ore to his partner in Los Angeles, pieces of which aSSayed well in gold and silver; one piece of five ounces yielded three fOurthS of an ounce Of gold and sil- yer bullion. Upon asking him the latest news about the Tiger sale, he said that
 Maj. Wright was on his way back from London in company with an English min ing expert, whO will no doubt advise his employers to purchase the mine.
 YUMA, September 3.-Samuei Purdy Jr. and J. $. Spann have returned from trip to the PicachO mines. They report every thing in a flourishing condition. About twenty men working there, are making $3.5O per day with pan. They expect to have their five-stamp mill on the Colorado river, five miles from the mines, in run ming order soon. They now lack some machinery.
 Companies c. and G, Eighth Infantry, left here last evening for Lowell and Me DOwell. Company c, Lieutenant Wells commanding, goes to Mcdowell and com pany G. Capt. Andrews, to Lowell.

Importing Beef

The Yuma Sentinel of August 22, did not reach Tucson until August 30. Among other items ct news, it had one that Mir. Kincaid had arrived there with thirty-siX fat beeves from San Diego, for J. NJ. RedOndo & Bro. It is about 200 miles from San Diego to Yuma, and about 100 of it over a desert by odds more difficult to traverse than any equal distance ill Arizona. Now it would seem that beef to supply not only Yuma but all of Arizona, should be grown and fatted in this Territory. With proper difference to the good grazing of San Diego county, we know that Arizona stands head ill this respect, and therefore ought to pro- duce her own supplies of beef at rates lower than distant States can on poorer feed and then send them to us.
 Probably 15000 head of cattle were last year brought into this Territory, from New Mexico, Colorado and Texas, for military and Indian supplies; and at this time several thousand head are on the way. This kind of importation ought to be stopped. Self-interest should stop it.. D. T. Harshaw, Sanford Bros. and E. N. Fish & Co. are doing something towards it in this county, but much more needs to be done to completely end it.

FARMERS are notified that there are twelve small sacks of Jennings Winter wheat and as many Of Fultz Winter wheat at the Territorial Secretary's office, which can be had free On application. It is not expected that one farmer will get more than one or two sacks, as the wheat is for experiments. It was sent from the Depart ment of Agriculture to Hon. R. c. McCor- mick for distribution, and in his absence it will be attended to by others. Farmers who care to experiment with the wheat, can call in person or address Gov. Stafford. or John Wasson, and by so doing their wants will be supplied.

THE contract to supply the Indians of Arizona with beef for the fiscal year end ing June 30, 1875, has been awarded to Leonard T. Smith, of LeavenwOrth, Kan sas. We are informed that he is a man of great wealth, and has large experience in furnishing government supplies, and is now largely interested in western rail- ways. He has fully authorized Thomas Ewing and c. F.. Curtiss to snperintend the execution of the contract, ard they know how and will do it well. They sup piled the military with beef for the past fiscal year and so far as we can learn with entire satisfaction. The immediate super intendence of the present contract will be by MT. Ewing, although Mir. Curtiss is daily expected in Tucson.
 Both are wide awake, liberal and enter prisng men. MT. Ewing Is engaged in several mining enterprises in Pima county at this time, and we have reason to be- lieve one or more will prove successful to himself and as a matter of course of vast benefit to Arlzona. He has the confidence of men of means and influence on both sides the continent, and can enlist their aid to work our mines. He has men engaged in developing a mine now with a view of fascertaining if he can recommend capitalists to take it, and has other mining property of acknowledged value within his control. We are pleased that MT. Smith gave him hand in the man. agement of his contract land are sure smith will bel, for men of his stamp are needed in an undevelOped country, and should be encouraged not only to come into it but to remain.

THE Young America" '" mine, in Silver Mountain district, is unQueStionably one Of almost, if not quite, uneQualed richness in copper and silver-cOpper on top and silver below thirty odd feet. We have frequently mentioned this mine as belong to Messrs. Fully, OchOa & Co.,, E. M Pearce, c. O. Brown and MT. Barnes, and that work has been put upon it for nearly year past. When the workmen attained over thirty feet on the sfIafL now being sunk, the copper began to give away and silver appear, until at about forty feet present deptn-the two metals are of near equal proportions and the ore almost pure metal. Last Saturday, MT. Pearce brought iu about 100 pounds Of ore which is now on exhibition at his room in Congress Hall. and we dare say that as a rich lot is rarely seen. It is surely worth several thousand dollars per ton, and the best O, all is that it's extent is not yet explored the shaft going down through this ore with Just as good on either side. For months past, he has been occasionally bringing in quantities of similar ore-not by the specimen but by the sackfull and hundreds of pounds. He thinks present developments show the mine to be worth a million of dollars. It is situated about twenty miles from the Quaharty, Sacaton and Grey Eagle lodes described in to-day's CITIZEN.

Mans Remains Found.

l Lieut.. E. l.. Reyes, Fifth Cavalry, sta toned at Bowie, is in town. He informed us that about the 18th of August, q party of haycutters came to Bowie and informed the commanding officer that they found the remains of a man in the Sah Simon valley where they were at work. Lieut.. Reyes was ordered to examine into the matter, and he ascertained about these facts: A body was found as reported. The post surgeon was present and careful examination of it revealed no wounds, al- though the right leg was bandaged just above the knee. One hand was eaten some by coyotes but otherwise the body was not disturbed. It appeared to have lain there some weeBs-perhaps months. The flesh was dried away and the skin was dried to the bones. It is difficult to tell just what effects would be produced on the general appearance of a body by long exposure to the air, rain and sunshine, but this one had the appearance of that of man about sixty years of age. It had small. gray whiSkerS on the chin and the hair was mixed with gray. The two upper
 
 well preserved. The shirt was woOlen with red binding inside the collar. The pants were of ribbed goods apparently Of cotton. Nothing but a few matches were found in the pockets. The body was buri- ed where discovered. These facts are pub- lished so that the friends of the deceased may possibly learn ofthis fate. No vio- f< ly,DO ;+ ;s believed the death was occasioned by Restitution of water or food or both. All indications were that deceased was man in indigent circumstances.
 Lieut.. A. E. WoodsOni Fifth Cavalry, was presentat the examination and burial.

 THE OVERLAND MONTHLY for Septem Der is at hand and it contains an unusual ly varied table Of contents, combining a host Of popular writers, who give us fact and fiction in well-proportioned quantities. Bishop Kip concludes his interesting "Glimpses of the Court of China;" J. Ross Browne; after d long bsense from it's pages, contributes a matterful paper on Santa " Rosa Island;" and the other Browne Junius Henri-a pen-picture of"Spinoza.' In stories and sketches this number is stronger than the preceding issue, for " Don't Tell kater' by Dr. Yer Mehr, " Trust and Mistrust,'' by Mrs. Deas, and " Laird Gtwain," by the Editor, are equal to any published in the best periodicals of our time. The geographical papers are a strong feature; and in addition to those above mentioned, we would call especial attention to John Muir's article on the "By-wayS " of Yosemite Travel" which for picturesque description, will rank with many of tue worlds best thinkers Other papers of this class are "Tmber Belts of the Pacific Coast" and "Twilight." The humorous portion is allotted to Prentice Mulford in his Sag HarbOr AbOrigine," and to Henry DegrOot in Diving for gold in '49." The most striking poem in this issue is MOlokai," a remarkably vivid description of the leperS' settlement. on the Hawaiian Islands. The Etc" is eX- ceedingly varied, and the book reviews are full and free. John II. Germany & Co.,, publishers, San Francisco. Four dollars per annum.
