AGENT J. P. CLUM, Of the San Carlos Indian reservation. arrived in town on
 the 2d instant. As the public were ad- | vised in last weeks CITIZEN, Mir. Cum
 has resigned hls agency. He is now Iawaitiug the appointment and arrival Of a successor, when he will transfer the prop ierty and affairs at San Carlos and return ! to Tucson to engage here permanently in 1 some occupation. Agent Cum is a young
 man, Of some twenty-four years Of age, and yet he has accomplished a work,
 among some Of the worst tribes Of Apa- ches in Arizona, which in Its beneficence. wisdom and strength would have confer red the greatest credit on the tried ability and experience Of mature age. The wise and judicious management Of even ordi- nary Indians is no easy matter, but add to other difficulties, the persistent and mali Icious opposition Of designing and inter- lested white men, surrounding the Indians,
 and you arrive at some slight appreciation
 of the obstacles to be overcome in success
 ful Indian management. IL is Of. great i'm
 portance that the splendid government
 established at San Carlos by Agent Cum,
 be placed in hands that will at least main- tain the agency, and the good work in progress, on its present high vantage ground.

Mining Matters.

MT. Thomas Ewing returned to Tue. son on Sunday last from visit to the
 Globe district, looking after his several mining interests in that locality. He reports that work is being steadily prosecuted on the various claims there and that constant prospecting IS going on in various directions. Mir. c. T. Mills, of Brooklyn, Alameda county, Callfor- mia, has lately been in the Globe dis. trict looking at the various claims with a view to investment, and was so satis- fled with the appearance of things that he had bought two thirds interest in the Ramboz, the Pinal and the Aztec mines, each, purchasing all the inter- ests of Hope and Ramboz in these claims. This sale was effected in the latter part of March and BIT. Mills was we'll pleased with what he had bought, paying cash therefor. Mir. Mills had two shifts of men on the Pinal mine and will prosecute the working of that claim steadily.
 On the Rescue they'had run the per pendicular shaft down fifty-six feet, running off the iode, as that dips at an angle. Where they left the lode, at a depth of forty-nine feet, the ore showed as finely as above.
 The Absentee shaft was down twenty five feet in the vein, the shaft showing three and half feet of solid ore in the bottom.
 The Third Extension of the Rescue was lately sold at private terms to MT. L. J. Wilson.
 The prospectors in the vicinity of the Richmond mine, the new discovery, northeast of the Globe district, have lately found some promising leads and made numerous locations.
 Hundreds of men had left for the scene of the reported hundred pounds in ten days placers. This locality is in the White mountains, north of Pueblo Viejo. There was much incredulity in the Globe district as to the existence of any such rich placers.
 Mir. Ewing left here yesterday for the Guija district. He has sent men, tools and supplies out there to sink up on the Paymaster and Sea Serpent To- cations, in which he has large interests, and intends to go right into these veIns and find out what there is inside of as fine outside prospects as can be found in these parts. The Guija district is west of south of Tucson.

MR. ADAM LINN was appointed on
 March 9, by Governor Stafford. the agent 10 act on the requ,sition for the transfer of Jose Cordova, from the custody Of the civil authorities at Silver City, New MexI- co, to the control Of the authorities at Tucson. COrdova was arrested a month or so ago, for stealing and having in his possession horse belonging 10 MT James Lee Of this place, and the prisoner and stolen property were detained in Silver .Ciiy awaiting proper action. Mir. Linn upon being appointed, proceeded 10 Silver iCity and upon presentation Of authority obtained possession Of CordOva and the horse. The agent brought the horse as far as Rockers ranch. and left him there The prisoner was brought to this town
 on the 3d instant, and, upon examination before Judge NeugaSS, confessed his guilt
 and was bound over in the sum of $500, to
 await the action Of the next grand jury MT. Linn also brought in from Silver City, Samuel Laurin, who had fled the county while under indictment by the last grand jury for conspiracy with another party to murder Richard Woffenden. Upon being turned over to the authorities here Laurin

THE CITIZEN.
L o CAL MA TIERS.

IT was discovered last week that Mrs. A.
 c. Wofenden or Tucson, had quietly ar.
 ranged her affairs and taken her depart-
 ure from this pleasant town. This would
 have been all right under ordinary cir
 cumstances, but as Mrs. Woffenden was
 laboring under the burden, at the time n,
 leaving, Of having been indicted by the
 last grand jury for conspiracy to murder Richard Woffenden, her departure was all
 wrong. We believe there was nothing 10 hold her, She not having been placed under bonds or in confinement, and under such circumstances any one would have run away If they were guilty of the crime charged. There is the saving clause that many would have run away if they an ticipated difficulty in proving their in- nocence. Mrs. Wohenden has been the owner Of one Of the largest real estates in these parts. IL is said she transferred all her property before leaving. Steps have
 been taken by certain Of the authorities ! to have her returned to Tucson. As to who Is responsible for her escape from the Jurisdiction Of the court Of this district, time will probably develop. We have only to say here, in passing, that this Judicial district has been noted for its strict legal rule. Whether this and like .derelictions arise from carelessness or worse cause, we would remind our county officials that law and order are only main talned by steady and persistent atten- ton 10 duty, on the part Of officials, and nothing is easier than a lapse from law and order to anarchy and disorder. lis reported that Mrs. Wofenden is headed for sunny France.

| ON Wednesday evening last MT. J. s. Vos- burg stepped into the Arizona and New Mexico cOmpany's stage and rode away to
 san Francisco, en route to the Centennial
 and an extended visit of six months dura- ton to the scenes ofhis childhood and early innocence. He has been in these western
 wilds q good many years and while the main and central object Of his trip will be the great show at Philadelphia, he anticl-
 pates much pleasure in revisiting the plac- ies and friends that he knew when he was
 young and poor and virtuous. Mir. Vos-
 burg has many strong friends in Arizona, and his departure leaves a wide gap. The consolation is that the absence is only to
 be temporary, and that he will return here early next Fall, to settle down to business
 in earnest.

MR- JAMES A. MOORE Of Kerens & Mitch
 els Southern Pacific mail line of stages. arrived here on the Ist instant, and from
 him we get the following information: ! MT. Moore came here directly from San Diego, where he had been called 10 attend
 an important business meeting Of the
 stage company with which he is connected.
 At this meeting steps were taken to place
 the business and properties of the South
 ern Pacific Mail Line, on footing that
 would bring the greatest convenience and
 rapidity of travel at the least possible cost,
 within the reach of the travelling public Of Arizona. A full and complete lot of the
 best Concord coaches were ordered and
 are now on the way to replace, on this line, the former cOnveyances. MT. Moore could not give the exact time, but these
 stages will be on the route as quickly as energy and money can put them there.
 The next and equally important move Of the company, was a very considerable and welcome reduction Of fares. Under the reduced schedule, which appears in new
 advertisement in another column, it will
 be seen that the fare from Tucson to San
 Francisco, formerly slO5, is now s65, and the fare to San Diego, formerly 800, Is re- duced to $50, and to other points there is corresponding reduction. These fares are
 all in currency. The rate from Tucson to San Francisco secures to the passenger a first class passage, meals and state room on steamship. Discharged soldiers are carried in this company's stages at the
 special rate, from Tucson to San Francisco, of s55. The former fare was 800. Charges on express matter from Tucson to San
 Diego have been reduced to 30 cents per pound, formerly 65 cents. To show the groundlessness of a great deal of the com- plaint which is frequently madei against
 mall carriers, as well as other people, there was little incident in Illustration
 which happened at San Diego, not longI since. About three months ago Kerens &| Mltchell's mail stage, which had been ar
 irving In San Diego, from this way, at 6l o'clock in the evening, got in one day an hour late,-at o'clock p. m. The worthy POS'iiit'9Veii haNih6 6iO"A aCCustOiilSu 'O
 see the mail arrive at 6 p. ID. had put that hour down as the schedule time, and re- ported the company to Washington as oneI hour late in arriving, and the company was fined $500. 4 short time subsequent to this, the stage again arrived late, seem-I ingly, at o'clock p. m. They were again reported, and this time fined $500. As soon as this came to the knowledge Of the company they immediately went into anI examination, and found that their sched uIe time was o'clock the next morning after their usual time Of arriving- The company had, by promptness and hard driving, been getting into San Diego some thirteen hours ahead Of time.
