SCRIBNER's est. Mich olas" Maga- zine for Girls and Boys, for September, is received. It is peerless iga it's line Its paper, print and engravings are like its reading matter, in every way first class. Send $3 to Scribner & Co.,, TAB and 745 Broadway, New York, and thus secure a year of pleasure and in struction for the children-and older persons. By the way, we find the fol lowing in the September number, and we have not the least idea who the lit tie girl in Arizona" is, if indeed the writer be a little girl:
 Here is an account of an old church from little girl in Arizona We have sO few ancient buildings in our coun- try that we ought to take an interest in this
 SAN XAvIER-Now, am afraid some of your readers will look at the head ing of this and say, "Oh, that is not worth reading. Arizona is only made of Indians and sand!
 It is true Arizona has great deal of sand, and a great many Indians; but there are other things there too. Oh, my, yes! great many interesting things there, among which is San Xa- vier, you must first know, was built many, many years before you, or your father, or even his father, were born in fact, almost two hundred years ago by a company of Jesuit missionaries from Spain, who came and settled in Arizona, where they built great many of these missions Gas they are called, and some of them are very handsome, but with only one, however, have we anything to do. This one is sit'lated nine miles from Tucson. On approach ing it from that quarter it looks very pretty, with its tall, unfinished domes (for it was never finished,) of stone and red brick - the latter brought from Spain-extending high up in the sun light.
 Now, walk with me up to the door, where a dozen or so half-dressed Appa- pagos stand asking for muckamuck ," (sOmething to eat) You enter, and you feel almost as though you were go- ing into some vault, it is so cold and damp. On taking few steps forward, that feeling changes to one of wonder and awe. You find yourself in a large room, where the stone floor is painted in curious style. The ceiling where you stand is about forty feet, for over your head is a place for the choir. On going further we come upon figure of Christ in the sepulchre, with the crown of thorns on his head, and the blood trickling down his face. It looks very life-like. All round this are pictures of the saints. Over the altar is one of St. Peter, which looks very ludicrous. He has on a long cloak which comes down to his feet, and small hat on his head.
 Now, after looking at these things, step with me into the vestry Here are robes that were worn two hundred years ago by priests who have long since turned to dust Here also are tie silver pitcher and plate for holding the blessed sacrament. Now, come back through the church, climb the old dark stairs, go into the belfry, and look up on those ancient chimes whose tones rang out on the still Summer morning two hundred years ago, calling to mass the builders of this ancient pile of ma sorry.

Local Mining Affairs.


 D. B. Req, Esq, and several others have returned from the Santa Rita Placers this week. If any difference, the reports are more favorable than lever before. The extent of the dig ging are being proven larger and larg- CT as prospecting progresses. Every body that works is making more or less money, and the dirt is plenty that pays from ten cents to one dollar to the pan. As we are promised careful and extended description of these mines for next weeks paper, we will now omit further remarks, except merely to say that from the most reliable ac- counts we can get, men out of labor and disposed to work, cannot fail to make money by going to those mines.
 Last Saturday Messrs- Ewing, Ben nett and DeLong went to these placers, the first two with view of looking into the feasibility of supplying the mines with water by means of ditch and Hume, and the latter to make d sur vey in this connection. They returned early in the week, and up to this time, they have not determined to carry out the project The expense would be greater than expected before survey Probably the best investment in this respect, would be an artesian we'll, which would have value for all time mines or no mines. The whole cOun- try is hard to excel for stock of any kind, and in sinking an artesian well no great risk would be taken This class of wells must be sunk sooner or later, and there can be no doubt but those who sink them will make ready money and add greatly to the prosper ity of the localities where sunk.
 The proprietors of the Old Mine have six miners driving tunnel into it. Three men work by turns and thus keep the work going constantly. The Ostrich mill is running with it's pans and we shall very likely soon have good reports from it. Work is going ahead on different parts of the Ostrich vein and at latest accounts, the showing of ore was all that could be desired.
 Wm. B. Hellings, M. L. Power and a MT. Bowie arrived at Florence on We'd nesday evening. The two latter come from San Francisco, to examine and report upon the Silver King mine, and upon their report depends the sale re- ported some weeks ago. We hope the mine is as rich as represented and that if sold its purchasers may make mil lion thereby, for Arizona would be largely benefited by the success of San Francisco operators. We under stand Geo. D. Roberts, W. M. Lent and Mark M. Mcdonald are interested in the pending sale of the King mine. We hear nothing from the Athens of late, but for all that it may be turning out plenty of rich ore.

RAIN FALL.-Charles D. Rivers, hospit- al stewart at Camp Lowell, who keeps a correct account of the rainfall, obliges us with the following record for August dur ing the several years named: In 1871, 3.7O inches; 1S72, 3.Sl; 1873, 1.93; 1874, 2.S7; 1875, 2.09. There was rain almost every day or night, either in or near to Tucson during August, and the one of the seventeenth, was very heavy and flooded our streets and some of the houses on the lower streets. During the present week, rain has come down at some hour of about eve. ry twenty-four. The nights are quite pleasant, and the days, save directly un- der the sun in the morning and midday are very pleasant. The rains have caused wonderful rank growth of new vegeta- ton all over the surrounding country.

A. WILKINS, barber, yesterday under took to have trouble with Col. Bob Wood at the store of Wood Bros, but the Colonel walked of to avoid the difficulty. Will. kins after going away returned and was met at the store door by John Wood, who prevented him from going in. Wilkins then stepped off a few yards, drew his pis- tol, returned to within few feet of John Wood and fired, the ball just grazing the shoulder. This led MT. Wood to reduce the barber to a horizontal position and administer some very damaging kicks about his head. The result was some bad bruises, loss of several teeth and a crip- pied tongue. Cause: drunkenness on parl of damaged party.

He says he is having considerable business there.

OUR dispatches show that the Ind dians of eastern Nevada are making a destructive war on the settlers. With out the slightest hint of the cause of this outbreak, we venture the opinion that the Mormons are at the bottom of ft, for it is very clear they recently en- deavored to incite the Indians to at tack Corinne, and it is well known one of the most foul daughters ever pereetrated on the plains, was that at Mountain Meadows in 1857, now prov en to have been originated and execut- ed by leading MOrmons.

FOR many weeks past our California and New Mexican exchanges were mostly filled with partisan matter, but as the elections are over in both places, we shall probably have different read ing for some time to come. AS con- ducted, there is no more disagreeable business than taking an active part in an election canvass.
 The self-righteous reformers of Cal ifornia, who went into the election under the name of Independents, got a most complete and deserved rebuke by the people. Whenever a man or party lays special claim to superior virtue and demands the support of the people on the ground that public af fairs would be better administered by him or them, all such can be safely op- posed as frauds or seeking office to perpetrate frauds.
