From MOhaVe County.

Richard Gird, Esq, writes November II, from NcCrackcn Hill, as follows
 about the Senator Consolidated" mine: ! Itis opened to depth of two hun
 dred and twenty-five feet, and the drift south Of the main shaft is in good ore | The upper south tunnel is opened by stopes and drifts so that twenty tons
 can be easily delivered per day, that
 will average $1O0 per ion as shown by proper sample assay. The ore chamber
 here IS developed for one hundred and
 thirty feet in length and twenty-five in
 width, and its extent is unknown. It ! is safe to say that there is in sight in this one body alone, four thousand tons of ore, and five hundred are on the dump. The ores are mixture of chlorides, carbonates and oxides, and are divided into smelling and milling
 The Buel furnace at Planet or Williams
 Fork, will start under my supervision
 in a few days. The Greenwood mill q0 stamps,) lately purchased by the company, is being put in readiness to run under the supervision of l.. B. Sewers, of Pioche The wagon road up up the mountain to the mine is just completed, and Bryants and RowelIs
 trains will be here in few days to haul ore to the Planet and Greenwood works. Superintendent McNevins is pushing things with energy, and is now work ing about thirty-five men, but finds it very difficult to get good miners. The company has an assay office at the mine run by Joseph Currie formerly of Austin, Nevada. Assays are made every day so that the superintendent knows exactly what is doing in all parts of the mine You will hear of bullion shipments soon and eventually of one of the great mines of the Pacific Coast.
 There is a rumor of the discovery Of rich placer mines on the Santa Maria about fifty miles from here.

Local Improvements.

The most notable and needed, too, inl- provement Of the year. is now going on by James II. Toole in the property occu- pied by Lord X Williams and the postof- tice-John B. Allen, contractor. An open space in the rear reaching sixty feet back to the warehouse, is 10 be converted into a fine retail Store-room with counter on each side and large space between for customers. This addition will form the long part of an l., the eastern end conncc- ting directly with a store-room, and the western with the old retail room on Main and Congress streets. The pOstoffice room will be entirely reconstructed and be made the most convenient in Arizona. There will be one hundred and twenty-eight glass and thirty-three lock boxes-appli- cations for which can be made at any time. The box rent will be put low; and right here it may as well be stated that all the revenue from boxes goes directly 10 government and mol 10 the postmaster as many believe. The boxes will face on Congress street, with the same entrance as at present, with the addition of anoth- CT entrance by an archway from the Main street room Of the store. There will very properly be no public entrance 10 the in- terior Of the postal department. After all the Improvements about the establishment are complete, we'll again make a note Of them.

How the Mexican Acquisition Ca nard was Regarded by the Press.

The Miner says "our people all seem to hope it IS true, natives of Mex ico as well as those born in the United States and Europe" but gave no ex- pression on the merits of the proposi- |tion.
 The Sentinel published the report with the mere opinion that it was a .canard.
 The San Diego World seemed to be non-committal, probably owing to the fact that the character of the report received in the morning of the 22d of November-became known before that paper was published in the afternoon.
 The San Diego Union in an Extra, evidently exhibited belief in the re- port, ana unmistakably desired it should prove true.
 The San Francisco Call and Chron- icle, in whose offices the canard origin ated, treated it evidently as did The Bulletin, all regarding it as terrible scheme with Tom Scott, Ben Butler, President Grant, ct al, at the bottom of it. Neither of these three city papers, so far as they have come to hand, gave an opinion of the actual merits of such an acquisition.
 The Post of that city acknowledged to a belief that there was something in it. and commented thereon some what in the tenor The Bulletin did, but was squsrely opposed to the ac- quisition.
 The Alta held that the report was and a mere silly sensa- ton. It, however, holds to the opinion that we ought to control tine Gulf of California. and that such control should have been properly secured in the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo.
 According to telegrams sent from various places in Arizona, the news was received with favor, yet we believe that further reflection has changed the minds of many who at first were favor ably impressed with the prospect off the acquisition. We feel quite certain that very few Mexican born people, actual citizens or not feel kindly to any move which tends to- give the United States one foot more 1f Inc Mexican Republic.

THE widow "Narbona, ." the late Apache interpreter Of the Chiricahua reservation, left here for home by Tuesdays buck board. NIT. Appel informs us that she was very much pleased with her treat ment in Tucson, and that she would so re- port to her people. When the body of her husband was put in the grave, she wanted to be buried with it, and exhibited much fear lest it would be taken up, but was
 finally made to understand that nothing of the kind would be dcne, and that it would be allowed to remain just where buried. She exhibited as great feeling for the loss Of her husband as any woman could, and desired everything belonging to him buried or destroyed, according 10 the customs of the tribe. Apaches Of her own tribe dug the grave, and she desired they should be paid for the service, and said that Capt. Jeflords, their agent, would see that all outlays were repaid. She ex- hibited great faith in Capt. JefTords' will to treat her people right and also 10 pay those who rendered them a service.

From The Silver City Herald of November 2l:
 We saw weighed, last week, at Ma gruder's, 26,OOO pounds of copper for shipment.
 General Thomas c. Deven is ex- pected at Fort Bayard the present week, and will assume command.
 The assemblage of fair women and brave firemen at City Hall in this place, on the night of the 25th, was all the heart could wish. There were present about seventy-fve of the sterner and fifty of the gentler sex, who with one accord pronounce it the ball of the season.
 About six weeks ago man calling himself Wilson, and representing that he was of the firm of Wilson Bros. and carrying check book on a bank in December, passed through this coun- ty and introduced himself to several of orr leading citizens and represented that he was looking for a suitable location for ranch; two ranches upon which to place fine cattle, and that he had l20 head of thorough bred Durhams on the Mimbres, and 100 Merino and Cotswold bucks For particulars enquire of his hide merchant, J. Brockman, or of R. S Knight of whom he borrowed Cal ifornia saddle, or of McKitric who in the fullness of his heart and disposi- sition to oblige, csshed one of his checks for small amount That MT. Wilson was a good fellow, is evidenced from the fact that he promised Mrs. T. J. Davis and Mrs. R. $. Knight each a thoroughbred Durham cali when his herd arrived from the Mim- bres, worth about S2OO each, but this stretch of liberality was explained when he revealed the fact that he was engaged to be married to their cousin, Miss Miller, upon his return to Colorado. We have not heard that the calves have been received by those ladies, but presume when they are we will be duly informed of the fact and of their probable worth and color, We would advise them tc select roans, that being the prevail ing color of best stock. MT Wilson has not been heard of lately.
 TThe Miner of November 12, had a lengthy account of fraudulent oper- ations about Prescott by Q man call ing himself Ellison, who is probably the same one the Silver City people became acquainted with as Wilson in fact The Miner was informed that the bilk's name was Wilson. Hi: conduct in and about Prescott make it almost certain that The Herald and Miner dish up the same scouudrel.- ED. CITIZEN.

General Kautz and Party,s Visit

Brevet Major General Kautz command ing this Department, and Lieut.. Anderson .of his staf, Mrs. Kautz and Miss Hitch cock, arrived here November l5. After a brief stay, the General, accompanied by Lieut. Anderson, Major Lord and Mir. Thomas Ewing, made a trip to Grant and Bowie, inspected those posts and returned here last Monday evening. Before this inspection trip, he held q reception in Tucson, when the citizens generally call ed to pay their respects; entertainments at Lowell and in town were gotten up for himself and party, all of which were enjoyed by them and have had mention in THE CITIZEN.
 Wednesday evening of this week, Dr. and Mrs. C. H. Lord gave an entertain ment in honor Of General and wife, that was pronounced by all present to have been elegant and one Of the most enjoya- ble Of the season, in which most of the prominent gentlemen and ladies Of Tue son participated.
 Last evening, MT. Thos. Ewing gave a social dancing party at the Palace Hotel in honor Of the General and Mrs. Kautz. MT. Ewing never does anything by halves, but exerts himself 10 excel, and his effort last night was a grand success and was so pronounced by the many ladies and gen. ltlemen present.
 The General and party start for Prescott about p. m. to-day, having been the guests Of MT. and Mrs. W. w. Williams while in Tucson. The General has left a decidedly favorable impression on the minds Of our people, regarding both his ability and purpose 10 use the troops at his command to the best advantage for the Territory. We think his visit has done good, and that the influence of it will be generally beneficial.
