Mining Matters.

Mr. Herman Welisch brought in &C
ounces Of gold dust from the SAINTS
Rita placersi on the Sth instant, of the
value of over $1,000 Among tins was
one nugget weighing three ounces, per
fectly pure and free from any foreign
substance. Mr.. Welisch says that
while naturally there is more or less
uncasIness among the miners on ac-
count of the Indian troubles, work has
been and is progressing at Santa Rita
with the usual activity. There has been
no increase IN the number Of men there,
which is now about 80. As has al
ways been the trouble with these gold
diggings, the scarcity of water is the
one great obstacle If they can have a
good rainy season this Summer, the
Santa Rita placers will astonish every
one with their richness. But while
water is scarce, there is a great deal OF
washing done with what little they
have, and the miners are now doing
more extensive digging for water than
formerly. Messrs. Kirkir and Romero
have lately sunk a large shaft on their
ground with the intention of getting
to the bed rock They are now down
100 feet, the shaft being three feet
square, and they are near the rock and
will soon strike it, They have found
gold in paying quantities every foot of
the way down, and from the dirt taken
out of the simple digging of the shaft,
they have washed enough gold to pay
all the expenses of the work, at high
rates, and all the expenses Of their re
spectiye large families. They are con-
fident of striking 1t rich when they
reach the bed rock. The surrounding
ground gave evidence of such richness
that they were induced TO dig this shaft
to the bed rock with the idea that the
settings must certainly be richer than
the top. They dug u well near the
shaft and in tour days digging they
were so fortunate as to strike water
sufficient for their own work and use,
and some to sell. Living is about as
cheap at the Placers AS in Tucson.
Cooking for himself and purchasing.
his own food, man can live for $50 a
month. The miners have had much
hard work on accoun: of scarcity of
water, but the approach of the rainy
season fills all with hope. The rain
should commence in June and if il
comes in any abundance, every favor
ably located man will make lots OF
money. Mr.. Welisch says no one has
any idea of what the Santa Rita dig
gings are yet. He has lately put up
a store there, the building being 2S by
so feet in size, and costing some 800,
and he intends to stay and make money.
In the midst of the Santa Rita gold
placers, stands a hill Of considerable
size on which has been discovered, To-
Gated and opened vein Of high grade
silver ore. The location is owned by
French Louis and Jack Long. They
lately took out a ton of ore and sent a.,
it to the Trench mine smelling furnaces
to have it worked. The furnaces were :
being kept constantly full of Trench ,
ore and they bad no time to work the
Santa Rita ore. But justt give it 4 test
they took eight ounces of ore from
one of the Santa Rita sacks, being the
first one they came to, smelted it and it
two ounces of silver, being at ;
the rate of $500 per ton.

We are frequently in receipt Of let
tiers from parties in various sections of
the Union, who profess the intention
of coming to Arizona. Some Of these
parties represent that they write not
only on their own account but also on
account of others around them of like
intention. Universally they ask nu-
merous questions as TO desirable parts
of the Territory to which 10 come,
and for much other information. We
have never been able to convince
ourself that it was part Of our duties
in life to answer these letters. We next
fell back to consider the answering of
them in the light of i pleasure, but
the task always failed to come quite up
to our idea of pleasure We finally
settled upon the conclusion that the
work of answering these letters proper
ly came under the head of charity to-
others. But unfortunately we have no.
time for charity. We have to work and
work hard for a living and there are
many things which must be done
which we can scarcely find time to do
well. Nevertheless we think it would
be good thing for all concerned if.
letters from bona fide immigrants, ask
ing for information concerning the
Territory, could be well answered
The only way we have answered them
heretofore is by sending the correspond
ent copy of the pamphlet compiled
by Governor Stafford, under authority.
of the Legislature, in 1874. But that
pamphlet, while good in its day, is not
now up TO the times. II there i any
one in the Territory whose Interest i
may be, and who can find time and has
the inclination TO answer such letters
as we refer TO, we shall be happy to
forward all simllar letters to such an
one IN the future. If there be any
such, speak: or if distance render.

A Startling Story about Babcock's
Jury

ST.. LOUIS, March 6.-J. w. Keathley,
one of the jury in the Babcock case, is in
the city, and has made statement to Dist
Atty. Dyer respecting the jury and the
verdict Keathley says he never was on a
iury.where the members were so apparently
Indifferent to their responsibilities. Two
thirds of them spent their time out OF
court in drinking, card playing. and de-
moralizing amusement generally. One OF
the Jurors, D. W. fainter, was away from
the jury-rooms several times at night, and
Keathley says the deputy marshals had no
idea where he was He thinks there we're
three besides himself who really followed
the case conscientiously to the end. Tn ese
three believed Babcock was guilty, and SO
expressed themselves in the jury-room.
Judge Dillon's charge was too much for
them, and after thinking this over they
concluded he meant virtually to instruct
and acquit, and they gave the verdict
not guilty, According to Keathley, Taint-
er declared, almost Immediately after the
jury retired to pass on the case, that il
ever there was an innocent man Bahcock
was one. Keathley replied, You know
that isn't So You know he is guilty as
we'll as l do" To this fainter did not
respond. With the exception of Keathley
and his three companions who felt morally
certain of Babcock' s guilt, the Jurors seemed
all to be settled on acquital as soon as they
got into the jury-roOm.

From the ". Y. Tribune

There has been quite enough blunder-
ing in the department of justice with res
pect to the treatment of witnesses in
government prosecutions. 1t is now an
nounced that, by order of the president,
the attorney general will Immediately take
measures for the Indictment not only of
Gen. Belknap but also of Evans and
Marsh. If it we're intended to defeat the
prosecution of the secretary of war, this is
precisely the step that ought to be taken
What does the president suppose will be
the effect of this order of his upon the in
vestigations still going on7 The com-
mittee has resolved to examine all the
post-traders. Are they going to tell the
whole story with the threat of criminal
indictment hanging over them? Other
departments are to be ransacked. Does
Gen. Grant wish to have their actual con
dition disclosed or hidden? If he does
not know the theory and practice of the
law in bribery cases, Mr.. Pierrpont surely
cannot plead ignorance The attorney
general, if he values his reputation, will
make no more mistakes. The intimida-
ton of witnesses, whether by accident or
design, must stop just here.

The President and Gen. Babcock.

From the Boston Saturday Eueaing Gazette (Rep,
Gen. Babcock is &C Iuitted and the nation
is spared the shame of seeing the most
confidential officer of the president step
from the White House to felon's cell.
That the White House interposed to save
him there can be no doubt. The manner
IN which the defence obtained possession
of certain documents, and the order of
the encouragement against allowing in
ducements to be made to men to turn
states evidence, are proof enough of this.
The censure Of this latter act in the press
has been inadequate to the offence. 1t is
the most high-handed piece Of improperly
that we remember to have been committed
by any man in public life, and, unless some
more adequate explanation than has now
been offered is made, measures should be
taken for the impeachment of its author.
For these reasons and others that have
been developed In the trial, opinions, will
differ as to whether Gen. Babcock is guilty
or innocent. As far as the subject has
any importance outside the question of his
punishment, the verdict of acquittal does
not change the aspect of affairs. 1t is
proved that Gen. Babcock was the asso.
ciate of scoundrels. That neither his
counsel nor anybody else has denied. He
was the intimate friend of those who COM
posed the Shepherd ring in Washington,
and he was the intimate friend of those
who constituted the whisky ring at st.
Louis. Both conspiracies relied upon him
to aid them IN their schemes. His influence
with the president and his opportunities
to obtain kno Wedge of the intentions of
that functionary by the privileges he pos
sessed at the White House. were their
strongest safeguards against detection.
He was not only their tool, but he was
their willing tool. His chosen society was
among just such men. They were as close
to him on the left hand as the president
was on the right He was the tie that
bound the parties together. The jury,
under the shadow of the presidents in
huence, has decided that Gen. Babcock
was unconscious Of the iniquity of the FIRST

its jurisdiction, if its authority applies only

Grant is following the plan he adopted
in the Babcock case, in that of Belknap
and those of his associate thieves. He is
bent on frightening off the witnesses to
bribery and corruption by threatening
them with the penalties of the law if they
tell what they know. Already he has
driven Marsh out of the country.
