Suicide of Capt. W. H. Brown.

NEW YORK, June 13.-Captain William H. Brown, of the Fifth United States Cav airy, committed suicide yesterday after noon at No. 2l West Twenty street, by cutting his throat with razor. On Thursday last Colonel W. G. Rankin called upon Captain Brown and found him very Respondent, and on asking what the matter was, Brown replied that he did not feel very well, but throght he would be all right again in a short time, and invited the Colonel to call upon him yes terday. Colonel Rankin proceeded to Captain Browns residence yesterday after noon, anc on knocking at his door was told to come in. On entering the room, Brown was found lying on the floor bleed- ing from terrible wound in the throat. Two razors and strap were on the floor beside him. He recognized Colonel Ran kin, and said it was no use sending for doctor, as he could not do him any good. Dr. HOtf was sent for, and he sewed up the wounds; buta short time after Captain Brown was seized with sudden convul- slon, and in his struggle re-opened the wound. He began to sink and died soon after
 Since the above was put in type, we re- ceived the following:
 SAN DIEGO, June 4-The Washington Star of a late date contains the following and heads it: "Sequel to Sheridan's Wedding-Smcide of a Cavalry Officer who was in love with the bride-S wallow- ing a ring"
 Captain William H. Brown of the Fifth Cavalry, cut his throat with razor last Friday at New York. His age was 30. He told his friend Col w. G. Rankin, the evening previous, that he was "out of sorts" but shall soon be all right again, and invited the Colonel 10 call on him again. The following day the colonel did so in company with MT. Costa, friend, and on knocking at the door, an lndis- tinct voice said, "Come in." On enter ing, they found Captain Brown partially undressed upon the floor with deep gash on his throat with two razors lying beside him. He held in his hand broken gold chain. He recognized Col. Rankin at once and said: cit is no use sending for doctor; he can do me no good; it is all over; I have no one to live for now" He then added: "I have swallowed a ring which I wish you to get" A doctor was sent far who sewed up the the wound and paid him other necessary attentions but on his depature Brown experienced d sudden cOnvulsion and in his agony hurst opea the wound and died soon after. Deputy Coroner Lee made a postmortem examination of the body on Friday. At the time Captain Brown was dying he spoke of a ring that he swallowed. This ring was found. It was of plain gold, with raised chased edges. On the inside of the ring was engraved "Be satisfied" The story of the ring was not ascertained but if rumors be true, he was engaged to the young lady in New Orleans, who has since become the wife of Gen. Phil Sheridan.

New Mail Service.

MT. R. C,Kerens, of Kerens & Mitchell, was the<1owest bidder for performing the mail Service between Tucson and Clifton, via Grant and Pueblo Viejo, at the letting which occurred May 3l, as per advertise ment In THE CITIZEN. The highest bid was Sl6,OOO and the lowest $2SO0 per an- num- The Postmaster General finding the bid so low and by responsible party, did not feel like declining to order the service as he did before the letting, and has ordered it to commence July l, of this year. The department insists that the route shall begin at San Pedro or Tres Al amos.
 It is very rare that a service is so quickly obtained as has this. About one year ago petitions were circulaced asking Congress to establish the route. Gov. Mccormick received and promptly presented the doc uments and induced Congress to comply. The Postoffice Department was averse to calling for proposals for service, but final ly Mccormick induced it to do so, with little hope that much more would come of it, but the low bid of Mir. Kerens took away all reasonable objections, and con- sequently service has been ordered as Sta- ted. We heartily congratulate the people all along the route-which by the way is a very important one and daily increasing in importance.

MOHAVE COUNTY.
Important Mines Being Worked Mining and Agricultural Inter- ests Looking PrOsperOus-Distri Court.

CEDAR VALLEY, MoHAvE Co.,, June To- EDITOR CITIZEN: A permanent progress is being made in the development of the mines in this county. In Owen district more work is now being done than in all the rest of the county beside. Most of it is being done on McCrackin Hill, by San Francisco capital directed by Fl. P. Mac Nevin. Col. Buel is building furnaces on Williams Fork to smelt ore from the Mo Crakin mines. Many are of the opinion that the ores are not smelling ores and that Col. Buel's venture will prove fail ure. We all hope that he will succeed as no one has done more than he towards bringing Arizona before the public. He has worked as no other for the benefit of Mohave and Arizona. He has the good wishes of all. The furnaces are being erected opposite the Planet mine.
 Times are improving here in Cedar val ley as we'll as elsewhere. There is no rush no excitement-it is true, but much steady work is being done by mine own CTS towards developing their property. Many of the best mines in this district are owned by San Francisco companies who are about to resume operation. MT. T. E. Jewell, secretary of the California and Arizona Consolidated, has been here and made arrangements to have work resum- ed in the Berkeley, Bunker Hill and other mines, under the uperintendence of MT. Towle of Cerbat. E. Martin Smith has also been here and expects to return be- fore long and work on the Hibernia mine as well as on the other mines owned by the Raymond and Ely company.
 J. B. Magruder is still on the Magruder mine and is now down over 100 feet. This is by far the best mine ever found in this county. MT. Magruder expects to have a small mill on his mine before long. Work is also being done on the Greeley, South port and Crook mines, and all look prom ising. You will thus see that our pros- poets are good.
 The ranchers along the Big Sandy and Williams Fork are busy on their ranches. The crops look well and with market at their doors for all they grow, they ought to do well this year. Large herds of cattle and sheep are coming into the county by way of Hardyville. W. w. Staudiier has one thousand head of cattle on the way, and several large herds are here already.
 Several sales of importance have been made in the noathern part of the county lately. Among other mines, the Riden- our in the Peacock mountains has been sold and MT. Ridenour has gone to San Francisco. What the price paid is, have not learned.
 The dristrict court sits next week at Ger bat. Many important civil and criminal cases to come up. Among others, the case of John B. Fisher for the murder of James Miller; also the case of the jumpers of the McCrackin mine. PAUL WEBER.

II you want to build you a house, or

do it cheap, 90 to Halleck, GIlchriest s.
Co.'s, who are distancing all competitors.
They have just sold four cars of lumber
to go to Topeka for the building of large
machine shop and foundry in that city.
Bids for furnishing the lumber for that
job were open all the Topeka yards
and the yards of this city. Halleck, Gill
christ s. Co. were one hundred and TWEEN
ty dollars under all the others and have
delivered the lumber. They say for cash,
before the lumber leaves their yard, that
they can and will sell down TO bottom
prices. Now don't go TO their place of
business and ask them their lowest cash
prices, and then turn around and say,
GLOW much time will you give u.s. You
can't buy anything as low to be charged,
as you can with the cash in your haRd.
It's contrary to human nature. Lew Hal

June 2lst, 1873.
EDITORS NEWS: Harvest has begun
in earnest; the reapers are gathering
in nearly every direction; wheat has
developed itself wonderfully and has
exceeded the most sanguine eXpecta-
tions. Oats are very promising at this
time; a good rain would help them.
Peaches not very thick on the trees,
but doing splendidly; some complaint
of apples dropping of the trees; corn
generally through this section never
looked better at this time of the year.
The weeds are mostly subdued; some
faces are anxious for rain.
The south half of this farm was
elaine by my wife's father, Ira Had
ley, in May, 1855, the first claim taken
on the Cottonwood river, and has been
self-supporting ever since. In 1860
our most trying year, there was not
much of anything raised on the place
but there was plenty raised in 1859 tc

run excursion trains from Parsons, and

tween Junction City and Emporia, TO the
Third OF July celebration here, 1t less

The A. #. * 5. F., road has put the
fare from Topeka and back down to one

grove and at the depot in the city, going
and returning, so that the passengers can
stop of or get on 1T either place. The
grove is three miles east of the city, on
the Neosho, and is beautiful spot. BY
this plan, no one has to wall. any distance
TO reach it or leave II.
Trains will run from the city to the
grove and return every halfhour through
the day, at % cents per passenger for the
round trip. Mr.. Jones informs us that in
order TO avoid the crush and jam of buy

On that day however, they will cost q
