Pork and Bacon.

Among the noteworthy establishments of Arizona, is that of Wm. B. Hellings & Co. of East Phenix in Salt river valley. It is well known throughout Arizona that they have a very large and complete steam fouring-mill in the heart of the largest area of agricultural land, well sup piled with water, in Arizona, and that they have been quite successful in operating it, and in making pork, bacon and lard; but during this year they intend enlarging and periecting their pork and bacon estab- lishment, by the introduction of all the best appliances obtainable in the old States. Additional buildings will be erect ed with machinery for handling the hogs and for making of all the barrels and casks required right on the ground; and the whole business is to be systematized and perfected tn it's details as it is in the cities of Chicago, St. Louis and C1n- cinnati. They killed 25O0 hogs in 1874, and they proved to be of better quality and weight than in 1873, or than was expected prior to killing and dressing. The result of their operations in 1874, was or will be when completed, 400 barrels of mess pork with proportionate quantities of bacon, lard and sausages. They will ship these ar ticles to various markets in the Territory not supplied by local producers. It is the purpose of the firm to make their articles equally as good as can be purchased in the San Francisco or other markets, and sell them as cheaply as they can be laid down here from any other market. Local dealers will find it to their advantage to patron iZe them.

the law would have been echanged and would have been handed down to us in q different form.
 We inhabit sparSely settled country of immense distances and at period in the worlds history when time is money. And besides we are poOr-that is collectively there are not many of us and this old style system is unnecessarily oppressive in its expense. Why should we not make such changes as our different conditions render desirable? Is there not a great lb- surdIty in the present system? Is it not ludicrous that man, even after he is sum- moned, may escape the duty he owes to the laws and the society which protects him and his property from the beginning to the end of his life, by simply expressing an unqualified opinion, though he knows and cares nothing about the matter? Could we not by some change In the law get twelve men at much less expense than now, who could act just as honestly and ilnpartially under oath in a criminal case, as the juries we now get at such an eXtrav- agant and ruinous price? The judge is powerless in the matter. The people are supreme and they have tied him down by the law. Ii he strains it one bit to admit a juror who he is satisfied is q fair man, but to whom this technical objection can
 be raised, back comes the case on appeal
 for error, and the whole work has to be done and the whole cost be borne over again. This is just about the way the thing stands. If the people like it and are willing to pay for if, all right. Ii they
 want the objections to the system correct ed they must appeal to the legislature to give them d more reasonable jury law.

Some Change in Proprietorship.

Our patrons and all others interested are hereby advised that R. c. Brown Is now one-half owner in THE ARIZONA CITIZEN. He purchased this interest some weeks ago, but not to take possession Of it until January l, 1875. His purchase includes one-half of every thing appertaining to the office on yesterday-Save amounts of money due on advertisements and job work prior thereto. By this we mean one half interest in the name, good will, situa- ton, stock on hand, presses, type, cases, etc. The firm name will be Wasson & Brown. A few business particulars are set forth in an advertisement to-day.
 There will be no change whatever in the tone or management of the paper. The change made is purely business one Mr. Brown being willing and anxious to es- Iablish himself in business here, and MT. Wasson being willing to sell at the price paid. MT. Brown has been here nearly TWO years, and all the time in charge of the mechanical part of the office, and hence knows exactly what he is buying. The country suits him to live in and he suits us for a partner. He is industrious, capable, and thoroughly honest, and will continue to fill the same place he has heretofore in the office, with the addition al privilege of an equal voice in Its man. agement.

 MT. Kidder attended party the even- ing before his death, and took an active part in it up 10 2 a. m. We had no person. al acquaintance with him and know noth- ing Of his history.

FOR religious newspaper, we can and do most heartily commend The New York Observer, eight pages in size and the old est and ablest of all the religious journals in America. It is over fifty years old, and has yearly grown in the respect of the public. It is radical in nothing save the enforcement of the best religious teach ingS. It gives a faithful weekly summary of opinions of the various religious journ- als Of note in the world, and also contains a most valuable department devoted to the secular news of the day, and appro- priate comments thereon. All advanced opinions in the religious and secular worlds, find place ih The Observer. It is d remarkable fact that The Observer more nearly retains from year to year all its subscribers, than any religious journal published. It has now quite a number of patrons who began with its first mum Der. Price one year to single subscribers S3.l5, and for two new ones S5.30, post paid. Address $. 1.

CASTLE DOME DISTRICT, above Yuma

CASTLE DOME DISTRICT, above Yuma in Yuma county, is yielding considerable ore and bullion. Geo. Tyng, Esq, writes us on December 24, that 160 tons of ore had just gone to the mouth of the river tor shipment to San Francisco, and that POO tons more were ready for shipment by the next steamer. An extra barge had just been sent to the Dome landing for the ore. Wm. P Miller of that place and principal operator in practical mining, has just filed his bond as deputy-survey- or of mineral lands, and we presume can now be employed to execute official sur Yeys in that district and possibly in others. That district is regarded not brilliant but safe, which is the main point that men of means care to know ill investing their cash and skill.

THE legislature is informed ttsat without any aid or pay from it, THE CITIZEN will as it has heretofore, print each week a concise summary of all completed acts, giving the full vote on all bills, joint and concurrent resolutions, and their final passage or defeat. Also will give the ob- Ject of each bill and resolution when pre- sented, ignoring numbers which the pub lie know nothing of and care nothing about. If more is desired, we will print it upOn contract per 1000 ems of matter, after we get clear understanding of what is wanted. Our paper will be furnished to the legislature and members thereof at l29s cents per copy.
 We are not soliciting business, although we shall appreciate all that is offered and execute it well, at fair prices. We have always commended wise use of the pub- lie funds, and printing to a certain extent Is true economy. We never have person. ally solicited patronage and have neither bhe time nor disposition to do it now. As before said, we are duly appreciative of all that is offered, and are prepared to do well all that we think the legislature will need or the people wonh care to have done,

Mexican Railway Legislation.

We have private advices from the City of Mexico up to November 19. Mir. Plumb was there urging action favorable to his International road-described by us last week; D. B. Blair was there in the interest of the Guaymas and Tucson road. and no one was representing the Texas and Pacif. ic interest at that date. It was then deem- ed doubtful if any railway company would receive aid by this Congress, al- though the mass of the people of Mexico desire sufficient aid given to insure the speedy construction of few prominent roads to connect them with lines and pro- jected lines in the United States. It is said that President Lerdo has a liberal disposi- bion and mind to aid small enterprises which individual capital could easily exc cute, but that his mind is not capable of experiencing great ones and their ne oessities. He is constantly advised, espe- cially by Sonora, that population is de- oiining for the want of some stimulative home enterprises and industries, It costs twenty-five cents to send by mail half ounce letter that we send all over our country for three, and other public burth- .ens are similar, without corresponding tenefits from government, and people nat '&tally enough leave such a country.

FoB the information Of members of the legislature, who are under the impression that THE CITIZEN office IS not prepared to print current bills promptly, we take this opportunity to say that it is ready to do such work and in good order; and could have done likewise at each of the two pre- vious sessions. In 1871, not one bill was printed. In 1873, but one of one page was printed. We are not making a bid for work, but members having called to see if we could do it, we regard this notice proper

NEARLY all our readers are patrons of large papers which have more space than useful ideas or news. As such will review the past year and tell what ought to be done in this, but set no example by their own practice, we will leave that old, stale and superfuous job to them, and simply hope for Happy New Year to all mankind.
