Occupations Nearly Gone.

In San Francisco scores of men have made money for the last fifteen years in trafiicking in greenbacks and the national currency, and many more in New York and other eastern cities trad ing in gold. As matters are tending their occupation will soon be gone and the quicker the better. Says the s. F. Bulletin of the 9th:
 The local money changers are feel ing uneasy at the gradual equalization of currency values to a gold basis
 When the millennium is reached-if it ever be reached-their business of course goes up the spout, and they will ind themselves on the town in search of employment. There is quite an ar my of these money changers In this city, and hence the variations m the value of money are uf great interest tO them. and also to the public. Within the past year VIC have seen subsidiary silver go begging for buyers at 94c., gold. tO the dollar, while trade dollars were freely offered at 93c.. and legal tenders were hard to B II at 911 Sc. 10 The ! dollar Such was the condition of things year ago. Now subsidiary sill yer is taken quick at 96c. to the dollar. while trade dollars cannot be had from the banks under 961 5c, and legal ten ders are sought after at 9Sc.

The Ch arges Against Governor AK.
 tell, of New Mexico, Dismissed.

THE CITIZEN has heretofore annC unc. ed the entire vindIcation of Governor Axtell on the charges made against him by a set of men whose business in life seems to consist in pulling down instead of building up anybody or thing. The New York Herald of Sep tember 29, has this to say on the sub ject;
 The President and the Secretary of the Interior have decided to dismiss the charges against Governor Axtell, of New MexlcO, as vague and unSuppOrt- ed by proof. The Secretary, in the pres ence of the President and others, this morning expressed his intention of put ting this decision on record as the re- suit of 8 careful investigation made un- der his supervision by Assistant Atior- ney General Marble. The charges, It is declared, were preferred by irrespon- sible persons who do not sustain them under oath On the other hand, Gov ernOr Axtell denied the charges prompt ly under oath, and furnished official documents fully refuting them. In ad- dition to them an unqualified endorse ment of his administration has been forwarded to the department from the best citizens of all parts of New DleXi- co.
 We believe every journal in New Mexico approves Governor Axtell and bears testimony 10 his Uprightness and usefulness as Governor.

Railroad Extensions.

The Pueblo Chieftain IS authority for saying that at present there IS a good deal of speculation going on in Southern Colorado with regard to the future movements of railroads, espe- cially the Denver & Rio Grande From various sources, more or less reliable, we have gathered the facts that a new company has been organized from the members of the Denver & Rio Grande to construct a line of road from the present terminus of the Denver & Rio Grande at Garland City, to the new town of Alamosa, which will be To- cated on the Denver and Rio Grande rlver near the mouth of the Trinchera, about thirty-five miles from Fort Gar land. That paper has the information that this new town has been already laid out and is likely to be made per manent point by the railroad company. From that point the main line of the road will go south, and company has been formed in the San Juan country to build twenty-four inch guage line from Alamosa to Lake City and other points. It is also reported that move ment has been set on foot to build a railroad from Alamosa to Del NOrte. As regards wagon roads from Alamosa, the government is now at work con- structing a road direct to Fort Win gate and other points Tn that neighbor- hood. It is likely that Fort Garland, being of little use now as a military post, will be m, we'd down 10 Alamosa and made a basis of supplies for all the posts in New Mexico and Arizona. The government road above alluded to will in all probability be extended to Prescott, Arlzona.
 The Chieftain is also of the opinion that the Denver S Rio Grande railroad will be extended from El Moro to Cl- marron in short time. The manner in which this railroad has been push ed ahead during the stringency of the money market, gives evidence of great and wonderful financial abil- ity on the part of its managers.-Santa Fe New Mexican, October 2.

THE jury Tn the case of G. W. R. Elmer vs. W. H. Hardy, brought Tn a verdict today in favor of plaintiff for $30O0. The action was brought to re- cover money loaned in 1866 and inter- est The trIal has occupied the Third District Court two days. The plaintiff is a resident of Placer county, and the defendant is the Delegate elect to Con- gress from Arizona. Hon. H. $. Ste vens is Delegate elect from Arizona and not w II. Hardy.-ED. CITIZEN. The defendant denied the loan, and pleaded the two years statute of limi- tations. Plaintiff claimed that the case was exempt from the rule because the defendant was a nonresident of the State. The jury evidently credited the plaintiff witnesses in preference to those for the defendant.-S. F. Bulle- tin, Oct 10.

WE notice that the Southern Pacific railway company has sufficient faith in the virtues of the wood of the Eucalyp- tus, to order all the telegraph poles for their new Bantas cutoff" line in Con, tra Costa county, of thIs timber, The y have experimented extensively with it, and are of the opinion that it will out
 last, by a number of years, the redwood poles in common use. This is fine proof of faith in the good qualities of the Blue Gum at time when so many wiseacres are trying to make the public believe in it's utter worthlessness for any purpose.-Los Angeles Republican

General Towards Campaign.

Joseph and his band have surrender. ed at last. No Indians ever made a better fight than they. Col. Miles will get the credit of sub1uing them, and is largely entitled to it. Yet we are bound to say that General Howard, much as he has been ridiculed, did the work which rendered their final capture pos sible.-Alta.
 General Sherman, at banquet given him at the Baldwin Hotel, on the 9th instant, particularly eulogized General Howard, who had relentlessly pursued Joseph, in Obediance to orders, without regard to adverse criticism by comfort ably housed newspaper writers, who perhaps knew nothing of the country oyer which the chase was made.

THE Sacramento Daily Record Union is out in a new dress of type which vastly improves its appearance. If il would drop some large cuts and pos ter type from its columns, it would be as handsome as any paper in the coun try-east or west. It keeps up the rep utation of the old Union for news While several of the leading Pacific coast journals frequently omit tele- grams not in accord with the mana gers views, we believe the Record Union publishes all and either lets its readers draw their own conclusions or expresses its own views editorially. All in all, there are few more newsy papers than the Sacramento Record Union.

Base Metal Mines.

Among prospeciors and other mining
 men of snall means q good deal of talk
 about base metal mines is now heard
 By base metal mines is meant such as
 contain o-es that are a mixture of lead, iron and silver, with, perhaps, a small
 per cent. of gold-ores that cannot be
 worked by the ordinary mill process,
 but must be smelted. The base metal
 mines are about the only ones outside
 of the Comstock and the Grand Prize, Tuscarora, that are paying. Formerly prospectors in the eastern part of the
 State were all in search of mines hat
 would yield free milling ores, ard
 would hardly stop to look at base
 metal lode; now, however, il is just the
 other way. The cost of transporting
 heavy engines, bed plate, wheels, pans,
 boilers and other machinery required
 in the construction of mill, far into the country, over sandy plains and rug ged hills, is so great that it is difficult matter to find capitalists who are will ing to undertake such enterprises on the strength of any ordinary showing of ore A base metal mine, on the con- trary, requires no such heavy and ex- pensive machinery. An engine of two or three horse power. weighing but q few hundred pounds. for furnishing the blast for the furnace, Is all that is re quired in the start Indeed, when ores that will pay for shipping are found, men that have DO other capital than muscle may at once begin 10 make mon ey. Not a few men are now working mines in this manner, sending their ores to California for reduction. In this way they soon get money enough ahead to put up small furnace, when they are quite independent. Uncle Billy Raymond, at Lodi, and the DOwney boys, four or five miles from the same place, are working their mines to prof it, though as yet they are shipping their ores to Sacramento. The ore is hauled to the railroad for twenty five dollars per ton by teams returning from Belle vile, and other places in that direction, to WadswOrth, when Q car is loaded and sent over the mountains. In this way they have been clearing about S40OI per ton on the ore shipped. They ship only their richest ore, as they expect soon to have furnaces at their mines, where theF ore piled up that will pay as h S200 per ton. All can not expec md as rich mines es those mentione. yet the chances appear toI be vcry good for finding lodes that, with a small furnace and the labor of three or four men at mining, burning charcoal and smelting, would pay much more than wages. Miners are begin ming to see this and are looking up the base metal leads which they formerly worthless The limestone or base metal range certainly appears to be a better place for men of little means than in this section at the pres Enterprise.

A Vintage Song.

Once more the year It's fullness pours To cheer the heart of toil; Once more we take with gratitude The blessing of the soil. I hear the children laugh and sing They pull the grapes together; And gladness brealhes from everything In this October weather. The winter days were long and dark, The spring was slow to come; And summer storms brought fear an,
 doubt
 To many a humble home. But rain and sunshine had their will And wrought their work together, And see! we heap our basket still, h this october weather. My heart has had its winter, too, And lain full bare and gray; did not think a spring would come, Much less a summer day. How little did dream that life Would bring us two together, And I should be a happy wife In this October weatheri Doubtless the frosts will come again, And some sweet hopes must die; But We shall bear the passing pain, And smile as well as sigh;- Nor let us cloud with fears of i'll This golden hour together; For God is In His garden still In this October weather.
 -Scribner for October.

YUMA items from The Sentinel oi last Saturday:
 Thirteen tons of rich silver ore from Plnal county were this week shipped by David Neahr to J. Coliingwood & Co, of San Francisco.
 D. Neahr this week shipped to Flor. ence 52,O0O pounds by Daguerre's tran and 1000 by Kerr's; 5000 to Globe by Kerr and 15,OO0 by Gardner; to way stations 5000 pounds.
 The railroad bridge is being plank. ed over to allow the passage of wag. ons and teams. Whether tolls will be charged or the bridge be made free to the public, we have not learned.
 Maj. J. c. Mallory of Portland, Ore. gon, is the new Indian Agent for the Colorado river reser.atiOn. He went up there on the Gila last Monday. As an Indian agent he makes very fa- vorable first impression.
 Immense quantities of merchandise have been shipped into the interior during the past few weeks. To the firm of j. Collingwood S Co. alone have gone more goods than would. a few years ago, have supplied all of Pi- nal county for twelve months.
 Silver King reports continue favora- ble and regular work is done by the mills and concentrators. Meyers team left the mine on the 2d with eleven tons and Quinlin's train was to leave on the 9th with full load. The last two lots of concentrations sold at San Francisco as follows: September q, 23, l73 pounds sold for $14,376. Octo. Der f, nearly the same quantity assay ed 1909 ounces per ton, and sold at S102 per ounce.
 Articles of incorporation have been filed in the recorders office, of the Gila Consolidated Mining Company, which IS understood to propose working the placer mines some twenty miles from here near Gila City. Among the heavy stockholders we note the names of B. w. Reagan and Geo. L. Woods of the Silver King Mining Company. The incOrporaiors are Charles Vincent. w. U. Pettigrew, J. L. Woods and B. H. Smith. Their property is situated along and near the Gila river and GOV CTS most of the choice ground that has been worked dry by hand. Hydraulic works on d large scale are expected to- be soon put in operation. The field is a rich one.

The folks on Bitter Creek are bad; the higher up you go the wus they are, and Pm from the headwaters.
 Railroad matters are getting more settled. About fifty mechanics are still here, and as soon as material can be brought in, they will go to work on depots, round-hOuse, freight sheds and turntable There is no immediate indication that any work will be done beyond the city limits, until Congress shall have given a right of way through Arizona. On Thursday morn ing the regular train crossed the bridgeI and came into town on time. Soon af- ter five car loads of rails were brought over and lift at the end of the track near the courthouse.

The NequlIIa Mine to be DeyeIop.d.

THE CITIZEN has already announced the conditional sale of the Nequilla
 Mine near Tucson, to San Francisco parties-Clinton Gurnee, Esq, being the negotiator The property belongs to Messrs. W. F. Scott and James Lee and was the first mine for which q United States patent was obtained in Arizona. In a straight line it is per haps not above twelve miles from town and by a very fair road, about fifteen. About five years ago, work was suspended on the mine The last done was that of sending several tons of the ore to San Francisco for reduc. tion, which, if we rightly remember, gave a net yield to tine shippers of about $90 to the ten. The vein is opened up to a depth of 120 feet. It seems to be clearly defined lode, va rying in width from one to five or six feet. There are springs of water near the mine and passable wagon road to it.
 The purchasers have incorporated. The directors are: Fred w Hadley, Clinton Gurnee, J. H. II. Williams, Edward T. Stone and H. H. Johnston. Capital, S1,OOO,OOO. The shares are Sl0 each. The price to be paid for the mine is $2O,OOO if the sale is final ly perfected. fact dependent upon its development. We believe the pur- chasers have cheap property, and are also sure that the owners did a wise act in offering to sell at price which is good pay for their work and expen ditures, and gives the purchasers margin for large profit if the mine de- velopes as Messrs. Scott and Lee be- lieve it will. The company intend to expend a considerable sum in thor oughly developing the mine. In this they take some chances and the own CTS are paid for the privilege.

THIS week Yuma Indian appeared before one of our justices and stated that some months ago he had bought from a Mexican some horses at a low figure, they being at that time extreme. ly thin, tender-footed and worn out
 He had fattened them up on mezquite beans and new grass since the over flow of the river A few days ago an other Mexican came to him, claimed the horses and forcibly brought them away onto this side of the Colorado. He said that the Mexican who sold him the horses lives near town and wanted the matter brought into court, SO that he could either recover his money from the vendor or recover the horses from
 the man who took them. If he was a white man he could have the matter iudicially investigated; but being an
 Indian who has not abandoned his tri- bal relations, he is not, under our law
 qualified to bring suit or to give evi- dence. He has stated his side of the case and asked for justice; our courts are closed against him. Now if he or his friends indulge in reprisals, howl will go up about Indian outrages. :" Many questions have two sides; here is one of them.-Sentinel, 18th instant.

Commissioner Williamson is of the opinion that very few fraudulent entries have been made, but, ID view of the sweeping allegations of fraud, he considers it advisable to make sus- pension and investigation.

IN a letter 10 lhe Attorney General, the Secretary of the Interior among other things said; With regard to the criminal prosecution of depredators I would recommend that they be not confined to those mostly poor persons who actually cut timber on the public lands with their own hands, but they be directed as well, and principally, against the parties who are found to have organized and directed the steal ing of timber on a large scale, and de- rived from that criminal practice the greatest profit.
