Hard Times Abroad.

From all points of the compass be- yOnd Arizona, comes the vail of hard times and lack of labor for the poor Elsewhere we refer to Virginia, Neva da, and the Mining and Scientific Press of San Francisco tells the story for that State. It says:
 The truth of the matter is that just now there are more labOrers here than we know what to do with. People with small capital to go into farming, fruit raising, mining or other business are all very well, and the more of this class who come the better; but labor CTS who come in hopes of getting en- ployment will find it pretty hard tunes The emigrant trains are com ing in every day and it is becoming a difficult question what to do with all this extra population. The majority of them are almost destitute when they arrive.
 In many portions of Europe and especially in Russia, the laborlng class is suffering for want of labor to be done. Whileywe would not urge large numbers to come to Arizona, yet we do not hear of any suffering because there is no opportunity to earn food and clothing, and we have no doubt but many more might readily get la bor at some profit to themselves.

Locations on the Aztec Lode.

Col. Hinton in his correspondence regarding mines in the Aztec district, was guided mostly by reports of Pro lessor Davis. In speaking of the three locations on the Aztec lode-the Aztec, Anahuac and Toltec-Professor Davis says:
 This is a most wonderful sight for mineral. Commencing at the western end of the district with a surface showing of 46 feet, it gradually en- ilarges to about the middle of the Aztec mine, which there shows 2S6 feet width in the bottom of an arroyo. From this arroyo along the east end of the Aztec, up over a high hill, on again easterly the whole length of the Anahuac mine, crossing deep arroyos, | thIs wonderful vein shows a crop of not less than 210 nor more than 300 ] feet. On the western end of the Tol- tee mine the vein is covered by wash down from a precipitous hill, but on the east end it shows in places again. The crOppings on this lode are never over two or three feet high, and for 100 feet you could not tell at dIS- tance there was a ledge at all. In the arroyo on the Aztec mine we picked out several pieces of fine yellow chlO- ride and green and black silver. This vein we consider as second to none in either the Tyndall or Aztec districts By developments which can be done cheaply and easily, d wonderful body of mineral will be found. The forma- tiOn is perfect-caSingS of the lode, granite, as in the whole district.
 The country north and east of the Aztec is mountainous and broken, but shows good minerals Beyond are located the Almoner and San Bruno llOdes, with five mines, the AlmOner, Uro Estampada, San Bruno, San Ilde- fonso and Jesuit. Two others-the San Ignacio and RoSario-are in the same locality. The gene al character of the district is syenite, granite and pOrphyry, and the evidences of miner al are sufficient to arouse all energies. There are plenty of locations to occupy. | In some places in a few of these lOdes lteint traces are to be found of a pecu- liar working of extremely ancient date; the lodges show cavity across their surface in which grass is now growing, but by digging down through the loose earth we strike on to broken pieces of ore separated entirely from the ledge, which would indicate that some class of people in a former age cut the top of the ledge of, at places where mineral glittered in large quan- tiues. I saw near the Empress of Ind ia evidences of old workings, and also, to all appearance, of rude circular defensive work, built up from broken quartz The ground within had been dug up, yet in one corner was growing mesqult tree at least eight inches in diameter These trees are of very | slow growth, and as this had evidently started after tn e breastwork had been piled up, the latter must be quite old The nature of the site indicated an outlook commanding, as it did, all approaches, except on one side. There were two or three shallow diggings or shafts near by.
