A correspondent OF the Tucson Citi-
zen at Santa Rita, under date OF Novem-
Der l, writes: There have been some
large nuggets found. lately. A Mexican
found one sticking out Of the ground in
a small side gulch, which weighed seven
teen ounces, but after the quartz was
broken off the pure gold weighed but z
ounces and five dollars. Nuggets weigh
| ing from four to twenty dollars are found
almost daily. Most of the miners do not
expect to do more than mako expenses
until the rainy season sets in, when
mining will commence in good earnest
and the amount OF gold that will pour
| ont of the Santa Rita mines will astonish
the natives.

cate OF honorable discharge, and 500
after returned to California. For SOM
