The FiIibustertng MOvemenG-Ler
 do Den0unces It.

There is no doubt but there has been an attempt to work up filibustering movement into the northern Mexican States, and it is not likely abandoned yet. It has apparently been worked up in the belief that it would have much support by the Mexican people themselves, but In this respect the pro- motors are egregiously mistaken. We are advised, as state1 in THE CITIZEN last week, that the people of Mexico want no outside interference, and it is quite sure they would sink local quar. rels and unite against any foreign in- vaslon. Here is New York dispatch of May I5, which is undoubtedly true !:
 Senor Don Sebastian Lerdo de Teia. da, who is at present soiourning in this city at the WInsdor Hotel, authorizes the statement that he knows nothing whatever of the rumOred movement /: that he would not participate in any. thing of the sort, and that he thinks it his duty as Mexican citizen to de- nOunce and oppose it with all the DOW. CT he can command. He considers the whole story as a wild, unfounded fab rica'ion. sle could not, under any circumstances, tolerate anything that in the most remote degree might en- danger the autonomy of Mexico or the integrity of her territory
 President Lerdo also states on behalf of his late Minister of War, Don Ma rianO Escobedo, the conqueror of Max. lmilian, that he, too, would have nOih- ing at all to do with any project like the one now reported. General ESco. bedo, as soldier and patriot, would, as he says, readily turn his arms against any filibuster or other foreign enemy, no matter in what shape they might present themselves or where they hall ed from.
 Senor Don Manuel Romero Rubio. Secretary of State in Mexico under Ter do, treats the published rumorS as be- ing devoid of foundation and absurd He believes that the enemies of Lerdo and his government, knowing the sus- ceptibility of the Mexicans on this tender point, affect to believe in this malicious piece of news in order to turn public opinion in Mexico against the rightful but exiled government of that Republic.

The Presi ient's View on the Re
 mOnetizaIiOn of Silver.

NEW YORK, May 29.-The Tribune's
 Washington speclal says: Represen- tative Foster called upon the President today and had long interview with him. The main object of his call, il is understood, was to discuss Ohio pol itics. Foster says the President is cer- tainly in favor of the remOnetization of silver. Upon being asked if the Secretary of the Treasury'did not dis agree with the President on this pOInt, and upon the methods of resumption. Foster replied not necessarily, for the reason he did not understand that Sher- man had reached any definite conclu- sion on the subject of remonetizatiOn of silver. Foster thinks Sherman is little in doubt as to what policy should be pursued in this regard, as he might be inclined to favor making the silver dollar a legal tender for a limited amount, say $50. IL is the opinion of several persons who talked with the President on the subject within the past few days, that he will recommend to Congress that the silver dollar be- made a legal tsnder on equal terms with gold for some limited amount.

New MexIeO's Precious Metals.

The production of the mines of thls Territory has as yet been very light. The gold and silver shipments have never exceeded $5OO,OOO annually, and until within the last five years no cop per or lead was produced. The ex- ports of base metal at present reach about S3OO,O0O, and are increasing steadily, with continued development of the Clifton (AIizona) and Santa Rita copper mines. Up to 1870 little or no silver bullion was produced, mining having been confined almost wholly 10 gold washing. With the opening of the Silver City district in Grant coun- ty, New Mexico, entered the lIst of silver producing districts, and has year by year since then increased her out put of that metal, till now the exports of silver equal, if they do not exceed, that of gOld.-N.

Just the Contrary.

This from The Sentinel of June 2:
 The Western Union Telegraph com pany gets an ill-merited compliment from THE CITIZEN, for having cut down it's Tates between ArIzona and San Francisco. The facts are, that the Western Union is the biggest tele- graph monopoly in the world.
 Here is what THE CITIZEN did say and it will 5e seen the Atlantic and Pacific was alone complimented:
 The Western Union telegraph com pany has reduced Its rates, as we ex- pected, 10 the same as the Atlantic & Pacific, as published in THE CITIZEN last week. For this reduction, the people of Arizona are indebted to the Atlantic and Pacific company, and It is given out by The Sentinel that the latter company will soon extend its line into the interior Of ATIzOna.
 The Western Union has at no time been complimenied by THE CITIZEN, and while it is not matter of much consequence, we hope The Sentinel will make proper correction, because at various times We have accorded credit to the A. & P for the reduced rates we enjoy. While on this subject, we might ask The Sentinel if it thinks We would now pay any less for dis patches than before the A. & P, line connected at Yuma, if the Western Union had no connection with the military line? Is either company a philanthropIc one? We believe the railway controls the A. & P. line, and it is in point to say that since the rail road reached Yuma, it costs more money for passage to San Francisco, than formerly by the stage to San Diego and thence by steamer; and we will further say that we are rejoiced that the railway has reached Yuma and hope ere long It will be extended far this side. In reducing rates of telegraphing, the A. & F. did it be- cause it was good business policy to do so. and the Western Union followed for the same reason. Suppose the Western Union had railway to Yuma, in addition to the Southern Pacific, would au unlimited ticket to San Fran cisco be s52' And yet We cheerfully award full credit 10 the 5. P. railway and A. & P. line for the superior fs- cllities afforded this Territory.

Soldiers HOmesteads.


 WASHINGTON, May 27. The Com missioner of the General Land Ofiice has prepared and will issue as soon as can be printed, important circular in structions regarding soldiers addition al homesteads. These instructions will give effect to Secretary Chandler's decisions of March last, permitting entries 10 be made in the following cases:
 First-Those presented prior to the order of March 20, 1876, suspending all entries, and rejected for reasons in- sufficient in law to bar their reception, but kept alive by appeal, which, by such rejection, were postponed beyond the date of the order and so lost. These may be admitted without further tor mality when agaln presented at the District office, after the settlement of the question upon which they were originally refused, but the right of the applicant to make thc entry will be fully inquired into in the final adjudi- cation in Washington.
 SecOnd-Those actually in the hands of agents or attorneys on May 9, 1876, and still remaining in their hands but these claims must be forwarded here for critical examination, and shall not be accepted by Registers and Re ceivers for locations until returned 10 the agents with the Departments cer- tificate of their entire validity and sufTiciency,
 The third and last class that will hereafter be recognized embraces those rights yet remaining in the hands of parties originally interested which have never been presented for satisfac- ton or made the subject of transfer or agency. Commissioner Williamson re- quires, to secure these rights, that a full recital of military service be pre- sented 10 the General Land Office, with due proof of the identity of the party making the claim, and a detailed refer ence 10 his original homestead entry, with the name of the local Land Office, date and number of the entry and a description of the land. He must also file a sworn statement setting forth the facts indicative of his right to take the entry, and declaring that he has not in any manner exercised his right, either by previous entry or applica- IiOn, or by sale, transfer or power Of attorney, but that the same remains in him unimpaired. He must also de clare, under oath, that he has fully complied with the Homestead law re- gardIng residence upon, cultivation and improvement of his original homestead entry, and should further recIe whether or not he has proved up his claim and received patent. When these papers are filed and examined they will, if found satisfactory, be re turned, with a certificate attached rec ognizIng the right of the party to make an additional entry under the law, and hen properly presented at any Land Office, either by the party himself or his agent or attorney, will be accepted by the Register or Receiy- CT and forwarded, with the entry pa per, to Washington. in the usual man. ner. It is confidently anticipated that these instructions will have the effect of calling in all outstanding rights and speedily closing up this whole business of additional homestead en- tries, without leaving room for further frauds or serious troubles.

TIE Butte Miner of Butte City, Montana, says William Purvine is there introducing his wooden anal gamating pan Tn connection with the HuntDouglass process, as advertised in THE CITIZEN, and it also says that the process is successful beyond most sanguine expectations. MT. Purvine expects to visit Arizona next Fall to examine the ores and introduce his pan and process. Practical operations in Colorado mills show the pan and pro- cess to be all that Its proprletors claim, and there Is no doubt but most protita- ble results would follow if used in re. dGcing many of the Arizona ores.

The Two Artists.

Edith is fair," the painter said;
 Her cheek so richly glows. My palette ne'er could match the red
 or that pure damask rose. Perchance the evening rain-drops light
 Soft sprinkling from above, Have caught the sunsets color bright,
 And borne it to my love. In distant regions must seek
 For tints before unknown, Ere I can paint the brilliant cheek
 That blossoms for me alone. All this his little sister heart,
 Who frolicked by his side; To check such theories absurd,
 That gay young sprite replied, o, can tell you where to get
 That pretty crimson bloom, For well know where it is set
 In cousin Edith's room. Pm sure that could find the place.
 IT you want some to keep; 1 watched her put in on her face
 She didn't see me peep. So nicely she laid on the pink,
 As well as you could do; And really, almost think
 She Is an artist too. The maddened painter tore his hair,
 And vow'd he ne'er would wed; And never since to maiden fair
 A tender word has said. Bright rosy cheeks and skin Of pearl
 He knows a shower might spoil; And when he wants a blooming girl
 Paints one himself in oil.

SUGAR CANE has been experimented with at several places in the Salt river valley. IL proves as great a success in that county as il does here on Re dondo's ranch. Several responsible parties are contemplating planting large crops of it this coming season. and will put up small mills for the manufacture of sugar. The entire valley of the Gila is well adapted to sugar culture. and within few vears will be largely devoted to it. Having been raised in a sugar country" we can speak by the card. - Sentinel, June 2.

Col. w. c. BOYLE writes to friend in Tucson, of date May 2S at San Francisco, that Arizona mining pros poets are good and operators in New York are beginning to talk of putting Arizona stocks on the New York board. Referring directly to the mines in Aztec district in which he is inter- ested, he says the croppings assaye1 over $1O0 per ton. A limited amount of the stock of one organized con- pany on mines in Aztec district, is be. ing sold for a working capital, and the Colonel says development will soon go on day and night. Incidentally, he says many men of wealth have gone down to nothing, and mentions several by name who have commanded mil lions of dollars within the past few years. Dealing in stocks busted '" them.
