Major Burke, the distinguished ambassa-
dor from the Louisiana Democracy to the
court Of last resort, has returned from the
scene Of his labors and triumphs at the ma

yesterday he eloseted himself with General
Nichols, but the result is not yet given to

made the bearer from Washington, are
being carefully sorutinized. The public

ganisation has been gained by opposing it.
Recruite are not at once made corporals,
serReants or commissioned officers.
This is excellent political doctrine; and
one, too. we would remind the office traders
that President Hayes has had fine oppOr-
tnnity to acquire in the course of large
experience. The next paragraph is also as
applicable to our own as to the Democracy:
IF Governor Nichols would maintain a
well-disciplined party and organize strong
and reliable support for his administration,
his appOinteee should have no questionable
standing, but be men of influence with the
people and the Democratic party and whose
first notification of services rendered is not
a petition for Office.
The Louisiana Democracy are still infatu,
ated with the belief that the Republicans
are going to conciliate them into possession
of solid South so that they will only need
New York and Indiana in 1880, to snatch
the presidency. If the Nichols and Hamp
ton governments are recognized the Demo
Gratis would have forty United States Sena
tors in 1879. See the pointl

The Pioneer and Globe District
 Mines

In visit of one day at Florence ear ly in the week, we heard and saw much to convince Us thai these districts are rich beyond any description yet given of them. Here and there a mine has been properly mentioned, but any care. ful and ample description, with stalis- tics of products, has yet to be publish ed; but the interests are such that this work will not be delayed much longer. Speaking of mining property up that way now means something like coin on hand and @ large bank account for the future. To illustrate: Various par ties informed us that the purchasers of lhe Stnu wall Jackson for S120,O00 cash, have already taken out ore enough to pay for the mine; that at a depth of ninety-two feet, there is a stratum of six tO seven inches of silver metal worth about $3O,0OO per ton, and this streak is wider at ihe present depth than at any place above; in addition there IS vein of ore ranging from twenty to thirty feet in thickness which assays from SlOO to $500 per ton. This yeln crops out at various points on line over eight miles, and locations, we are informed, have been made along Ia greater distance. Several other mines lin Globe now rate at high value be cause of what can be seen with the naked eye and silver taken out. The Rescue was among the first discoveries. It stood high and then declined in standing, but late work has developed much richness and it stands higher than ey.r. In Pioneer district, the Silver King IS keeping up it's reputa- ton and increased capacity will soon be given the reduction works. The richness Of the discovery by the Con- nelly Brothers, mentioned in THE CIT lzEN last week, is fully confirmed in he minds of all Ore is being sack ed for shipment from it. The fact is, so many rich mines were mentioned of which we took no memorandum, and of which there seems 10 be ample proof that we will not now attempt tu refer tO more. Freight wagons g3 to Yuma laden wi,h ore and none now need 10 go empty.

We under. stand he is quite well pleased, and is free 10 express the opinion that the chances are two to one that the road will pass right through our corporate limits. He says the public can rest assured that the line Is decided upon and the road bed staked out on a work ng basis to a point four to five miles south of Maricopa Wells.
 He says there Is a possibility Of the road being continued on the Gila route up to the San Simon valley. but the probability Is strongly against 1t and in favor Of the one direct 10 Tucson.

Mir. Cavaness' train arrived from Yuma on Monday with something over 10000 pounds freight mostly for government, and among it were r 600 pounds raw DO tatoes and 5000 pounds raw onions The freight on these articles will amount to over ten cents per pound--a large price for them. They were grown in California, hauled over 7O0 miles by rail and 400 by
 wagon. If the producer and merchant re- ceived any profit for them, then see what ought 10 be made on such products il grown right at the place Of market? Is lt not worth while To make an extraordinary effort to produce not only potatoes and onions for our markets, but fruits also? As large anu solid onions as need be two pounds each) have this year been produc- ed on the San Rafael ranch, and fine po- tatoes In S0noIta and adjacent valleys.
