Local Mining Affairs.

Col. w. c. Boyle and John E. Magee re- turned from their field of mining opera tions on Wednesday. The weather was bad during much of the time, but very complete examination of all the mines and some adjacent ones, was made. The Colonel is convinced that the company he represents has good property in it's mines and ranches in this county, and he has some men at work on the Salero. sinking a shaft. A. c. Benedict, Esq, brought the Colonel and Mir. Magee in, and he left for the works on Friday. He will, un- der orders, increase the force on the mine so as to keep work gong night and day.
 MessrS. Shugert, Riorden and Benedict are running two arrastrars on the Huibabi, on rock paying S40 in gold per ton. and paying them about S7 to the hand per day.
 D. c. Thompson keeps five arrastrars gO- ing on the Ostrich, and ore is being worked by the same means, from the Yellow Jacket-a part of the Ostrich lode.
 Fully, OchOa & Go. have one of their furnaces in successful operation this week for the first time, aud must now have about 1000 pounds Of copper from ore that pays 3 and 20 per cent - the former grade be- ing used to assist in smelling. From 4SO pounds of the 20 per cent and 250 of the lower, Sf pounds of copper was obtained. So far the prospects of a decided success could hardly be better.
 c. A. Paige has discovered copper and silver ledge few miles west of town and intends to at once take out and bring to Tucson for smelling several tons.
 Samuel Hughes aud Charles Etchell re- turned from Papago district this week. The tunnel on the Margarita has pierced the vein in good looking metal and some of it will be tested by assay at once.

RAILROAD ACCIDENT.
A Freight Train Interviews the Rear OF
a Passenger Train On the Mem
phis and Charleston Rail-
road at Whites Station.

Early yesterday morning the outgoing
passenger train on the Memphis and
Charleston railroad was considerably
smashed by a freight train at Whites
station, q few miles east of this city.
The passenger train had stopped at the
station for the purpose OF woOding,
when special freight train came along
and plowed into the rear coaches,
wrecking seversl cars and shaking up
the bewildered passengers in q most un-
ceremonious manner. We understand
that lady and gentleman who were in
the rear coach of the passenger train,
received severe wounds, but that no 9TH
er persons were seriously injured. 1t is
said that the frost on the rails prevent
ed the freight train stopping, and before
the breaks could be operated effectively
the engine had reached the passenger
train. The passengers made narrow
escape, and should be thankful that
they did not receive severe injuries.
Since writing the above we learn that
none of The passengers received serious
injury. The conductor OF the freight
train was the only person who was seri-
ously hurt. II has been ascertained that
the true cause of the accident was the
absence of the red lights, which are car
Tied on the resr platform of the hind
passenger-co AS there was no sig
nails on the passenser-coach, the freight
Lrsin roJlG have had no intimation of
