Local Mining Matters.

As stated last week would be the case, Col. J. D. Graham, Secretary of the Aztec Company, came here early in the week and spent several days in a visit to the works, and lefl for San Francisco well pleased with his in- spection. We give his impressions on the first page today.
 Mir. Louls Williams arrived early in the week, and with Col. c. P. Sykes, made a careful inspection of the San Xavier mine. Mir. Williams is life long miner and justly occupies the position of an expert He is trusted to make inspections of mining proper ty for mining men in Nevada and Cal ifornia, and on the representations of Col. Sykes made this inspection. He unhesitatingly speaks we'll of the ore as to quality and quantity. The ques- tion of fuel is one of importance but there is hardly a doubt but it will be settled favorabiy. Enough has been already deciled to insure operations soon. Both lett for San Francisco by Thursdays stage and Col. Sykes will immediately return. We congratulate Col. Sykes on having his judgment of the San Xavier mine confirmed by such an experienced and we believe con. scientious man as NIT. Williams.
 Deputy Surveyor w. S. Edwards and NIT. W. J. Roskruge returned on Wed nesday from a visit among the mines in Patagonia and Santa Rita mountains They report the Alta prOprietors work ing away opening their mlne and at the same time taking out silver enough to keep them out of debt and in most excellent spirits. They report mine opened up by Con. Ryan and others to the depth of some ninety feet, which shows body of solid mineral nine feet in thickness, without any dirt or rock in it. Mir. Edwards thinks it a very valuable property.
 NIT. R. B. Kelley is shipping lead J0T-e foT E as5-in Globe district and not at the King mine as we stated last week. He has received additional orders, and the supply at his mine in inexhausti- ble unless the vein turns to silver which it seems to be doing.

A Card.

COME TIME AGO WAS FULLY PER - suaded in my own mind that letters addressed to me had mysteriOusly disap- peared, although l had every reason to believe that they had arrived and been deposited for delivery in the postoffice let ter box No. 2.
 As l had very strong suspicion by what individual said letters were illegitlmately detained, wrote several letters, amongst which was one addressed tO Carl Weber, Machr. Ostrau, Austria, whom l request ed tO write me one letter or more, in which he should indicate that had sent there different sums Of money, etc., or any other matters which might help me 10 discover this letter thief, seeing that the man whom 1 suspected is an indeftt igable kabbleT. None of his letters have fallen in O my hands, but since five days, I know positively, that l guessed alright, and all persons who are shown letter from said Carl Weber, may hereby know how it missed coming Into my hands
 or the letter first addressed 10 him, l have a retained copy to this day, which am willing tO show to anybody. Other letters from August Ehlers in Los Ange- les, Cal, have disappeared In the same mysterious manner. JOSEF BRAUN.
