Postal Irregularities.

For months, we have heard Of many
Irregularities in the transmission of
mail matter throughout the Territory
and observed some of them, and regret
to say that simple carelessness on the
part of pOstoflice clerks or Off
cials, seems to account for about all
the trouble. We are quite sure there
is nO.wilful neglect of duty or DISPOSE
ton to put mail matter in the wrong
bags. These postal Irregularities ap-
pear like epidemies, but the present
manifestation of them is unnecessarily
and unusually prolonged. A few
weeks ago, the Phenix package of
THE CITIZEN which left Tucson Mon
day, came back here on Thursday; a
letter mailed at Camp Goodwin and
plainly addressed to us, must surely
have gone to California and returned {;
the Grant County Herald of August 5,
did not reach Tucson until several days
after the one of date August -; and
so we might go on with items of our
own observation, and with very many
more similar ones related to US by
others, but will not now There is no
complaint against the mail carriers, to
our knowledge. The mail vehicles
with the mail pouches pass between all
points with regularity and on schedule
time, save perhaps once IN great while
when storms prevent. The careful
handling of mail matter is very i'm.
pOrtant-mOre so perhaps than people
accustomed to handle il frequently as
a matter of business, are apt to regard
1t. There is no disposition on our
part to censure any particular office
but to call attention of those in charge
of postoiiices that many irregularities
have occurred and are occurring, which
ought to be stopped without the slight
est difficulty or extra labor.

Local Mining AHsirs.

Late last week, very heavy rains fell
in the Santa Rita mines. Mr.. Ii. We
lisch writes ihat all the gulches were
filled with rushing streams, and that
rockers, tubs and boards went swim
ming with the current Some gulches
were so full of running water as to
make it dangerous to cross them horse
back. The miners are hard at work,
and are satisfied that they VIII have
water for several months.
Tom. ROddick came in from the Os-
trich mine and mill this week, and he
says water is abundant; that the mill
is running nicely day and night on ore
that is paying well; that there are go
tons ore at the mill and the mine is in
condition TO take out any quantity and
as rapidly as needed. 1t is the hope of
many that the Ostrich company will
soon feel able to put up another mill,
for there is no longer any doubt that
the Yellow Jacket mine can be made
to supply hundred stamps with pay
ing ore. The company have labored
under many disadvantages, such as a
patched up mill built in the wrong
place, but they are now seeing golden
light.
There is still work going on in the
GuJa mines, but we have no late de.
tailed report. Gov. Stafford saws he
knows of contemplated work on Z new
mine in that district
The reports from Florence and vicin
iiy are of the most cheerful character
and best of all is that tangible evi
dence increases of rich mines over thai
way. \ dispatch received early in tn,
week, said w. V. Elliot is one of the
lucky ones in the late finds.

San Carlos Affairs.

Too late for publication last Satur-
day, we were shown a letter from Ac-
ting Agent NJ. \. Sweeney, which stat
ed that everybody on the reservation

tentedly. Mr.. Sweeney wrote in the

tanned the same as if none were away.
Mr.. Sweeney also writes that if he
were furnished with pack mules, he
would send a scout of sixty Indians
into the Chiricahua mountains and
guarantee TO clear that country of all
hostile Indians. He says for an expe
ldition of this kind, the Chiricahuas on
the San Carlos reserve had rendered
their services. The necessity for q
Thorough scout of those mountains
needs no repetition, but it is doubtful
if the citizens feel able to just now
furnish the pack mules. They may
yet feel obliged to do it in selfdefense

Affairs I'm sonora

Notwithstanding various reports
indicating a renewal of REVOLUTION in
Sonora, we have come TO regard them
as unfounded. Mr.. D. Velasco of Tue
son, a gentleman wide awake and in
diligently posted on Sonora affairs,
says all his advices indicate continued
peace. Business men on both sides
the line have reason to believe that the
people of Sonora do not expect revolu-
ton.
1t is also observable that the press OF
the Eastern and Western cities of the
United States, mainly agree that the
present federal government is able TO
sustain itself and maintain an improv-
ed social condition throughout the Re
public. And this view of the case is
strengthened by our San Francisco
dispatch of the 18th, giving news from
Mazatlan.
If there is any such thing as the peo-
pie of Mexico being brought to a true
understanding of the value of peace by
the worst kind of war, one would
think they have had enough war for
the purpose. Aside from the political
and humane aspects of MexicO's trou-
bles, there are vast business interests
on both sides the line which can only
be damaged by periodical outbreaks
or war in any form.

arrived at Yuma by the San Diego

on TO Tucson, only waiting here
long enough to change stages. 1t was
quite a disappointment TO his many
friends here that he could not stay
with us longer, but he promised TO
return in about six weeks.
Sergt. E. w. Boutelle arrived at Yu-

turn soon, and will probably bring his

Mr.. Cavaness' wagon train will arrive
here next Monday from Florence, with

EASTERN STATES.

WASHINGTON, August 24.-General
Sherman says advices received during
last few days from our troops opera
ting against the hostile Sioux, indicate
that the Indians cannot escape our for
ces without striking them. General
Sherman also says he feels entire con-
fidence in ability of Generals Crook
and Terry to lnfict heavy punishment.
No information of any recent enCoun-
ter with Indians has reached army
headquarters. Reinforcements are be
ing moved to the departments of the
Platte and Dakota, part of which will
be sent to join Terry in his efforts to
head off the Indians if they attempt to
cross the Yellowstone or Missouri riv-
ers. Companies a, c, ID and 1, Fifth
Infantry, comprising the remainder of

Fruit I'm Arizona,

\ few years ago, not a cultivated
grape, peach, apple or any Of the ordi-
nary fruits were grown in this Terrific
ry ana rarely were any brought into it,
and then at prices which few peo-
pie could pay; now delicious fruits OF
the kinds named are grown in some
parts of Yavapai, in MaricOpa, Pinal,
some in Pima, and we presume some
in Yuma. An excellent orchard is on
the Hassayampa below Wlckenberg,
and several in Salt River and ella
Valleys. Mr.. Ed. Bichard has again
favored US with samples of the deli
cious peaches raised on Sam. B.
Wise's farm below Sanford. He in
forms US that there are other fruits on
that and other farms all the way up to
and about Florence, and that grapes
are quite plentiful. Tucson is well
supplied with nice grapes at low
prices, and also peaches good for cook
ing, and with cultivation would be
very palateable for eating fresh from
the tree.

THE country all about is covered with
a new and heavy growth of grass and
other vegetation since the rains. Fol-

IT is very directly reported here that

A Appropriations

After the passage of the sppropria-

paper:
The salaries of Governors. Chief
Justices and Associate Judges of Wash
ington, Montana, Idaho, Utah, New
Mexico, and Arizona Territories are
fixed at $1,000 each. All the Terrific
Ties are given $4,000 each. An item
of 100000 Is inserted for the expenses
of the Montana Legislative Assembly.
The Indian Appropriation bill, as fl
nally reported from the Conference
Committee, and as 1t will become q
law, provides the usual amounts for sal
aries and payments required by the law
and treaty stipulatiOns, but appropri-
ates only the following reduced

gon and Utah, $4,000 each; Nevada,
Montana and Washington, $4,000 each
Idaho, $4,000; New Mexico. $4,000
and Arizona, 100000. The amount

at $4,000, with the addition OF the
following proviSo: The Commission.

HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES,,
WASHINGTON, July -, 1876.
ToTHE PosMAsTER GENERAL, Wash
ington. SIR: have the honor TO rep
resent that there is quite an urgent ne
cessity for an increase of mail service
on route No, from Prescott via Ger
bat AMI Mineral Park to Hard yville,
Arizona, distance two hundred miles,
to semi-weekly. There is at present a
semi-weekly mail from the east to Pres
colt, and from the west to Hardyville.
and from Hardyville to Prescott q
weekly mail, which necessitates the
living over of one mail each week,
three days at Hardyville, and the same
at Prescott. The increase of service
once a week from Prescott to Hardy
vile, will give uniform service and
supply a large and growing popula-
ton of Mohave county.
Extensive and costly improvements
are being made throughout Mohaye
county. Quartz-mills are being erect
ed, large and rich mines are being dis
covered and developed, and every
thing tending towards prosperity.
In view of these and many other
facts, l have the honor to recommend
this service, and request that it be in
creased over the within route.
Very respectfully, your obd't sery't.

The PoStoffice Department declines to
order railway mail service from Cal
iente to San Fernando, the connecting
link of the Southern Pacific railroad,
which will soon be in operation. The
reason assigned for refusing the appli.
cation is that the appropriation for
railway service has been so reduced by
Congress that no new routes can be
supplied. This route, however, is serv.
ed by the Sage line, which can be
made to cooperate with the railroad.
