Ed. RECORD: As I am an old Piocher,
and knowing that you publish miners
paper, take this opportunity to write
few lines in regard to our mines in this
part of Arizona.
Yesterday while two men Harry Bend,
German, and Mexican named Laras) |
were drilling ont hole that had missed |
fire, the charge went off and sent Harry |
Bend about twelve feet in the air, frac-
turing his thigh bone badly and burning |
and bruising him about the face and |
body. Laras, the Mexican, has both his |
eyes put out and suffers very much. Mr.. |
McNevens, the Superintendent of this |
mine, dispatched man to Prescott i'm
mediately for doctor.
| met Captain p. o. Brophy this
morning at Greenwood. He had lust
got in from the Santa Maria, where he
says they have struck very good placer
digglngs. He says.there are about fifty
men whites and Mexicans - there,
making from $40 to $50 per day. AL
ready number of Mexicans have left
this hill and started for that place.
Johnny Baker is still here and things
looks favorable for hin. Buel's furnace
is to start up in four days. l.. Felsen-
thai is still at Buel's furnace, but bust
ness is most too dull for him at present.
Louis Solomon is not dead as yet. He

helping the Chinaman in the boarding
house washing dishes, etc., for Mr.. j.
Silk. Mr.. Meyers took his stock of
goods from off the hill and moved it to
Greenwood where the 10-stamp mill is
about to start up. The mine looks we'll
and shows every prospect of being a
bonanza. The shaft is but 200 feet deep
and exposes ledge six feet wide OF
mostly milling ora at that depth, which
assays at from $3.50 to $3.50 per ton.
| The company is at work building roads
from the mine to the mill and furnace.
Wages in the mine are 81 so in green
backs, and outside $50. James Silk and
H. P. McNevens run the boarding-hou
and charge Sl1 per week. which, after
the company's paper is changed into
greenbacks, thence into gold, it leaves
very little for the miner We scarcely
can get enough water to dampen our eyes
in the morning, to say nothing about
washing shirt. JOHN McCLusKY.

JUST to show our saloon keepers how
} the thing Is done in Cincinnati we Civ,
O recent decision of Cincinnati Judge
, in the celebrated Trucker what an ap
: propriate namely case: If n rectifie
, take saloon washings and separate from
, them any quantity of spirits which ma,
be therein contained, he does not violat,
the law, because the liquor is already dis
titled, and he is simply recovering it
which it is in his authority to do. Thus
$ among gallon of saloon washings Their
8 may be mixed a quart of whisky, AM
4 that whisky may be put into the still an
: recovered by the same process as is fol
lowed in distilleries without violating tn
) law thereon; but if the saloon washing
/ contain no distilled liquor, and if it
Q from washingS, there is no liquor Their
3 to be recovered, and any particle OF spil
v its obtained in any way from such wash
r ings by such distillation is in oppositio
: to the uniform law of the United State
8 against distillation by authorized parties
