 title page, and graced with the name
 of Mir. J. P. Cum, as editor and pro-
 prietor, which we hereabouts deem a
 sufficient guarantee that the paper
 will continue to be conducted with
 honesty and ability, and to the best in
 terests of all concerned, and we con
 gratulate the people of Florence on
 the acquisition of the services of this
 sterling paper, while we sympathize
 with the people of Tucson in thelr loss,
 doutlng not that the paper under its
 present management will devote req
 sonable space and due consideration
 to their interests. They must feel that
 they have lost true and tried friend,
 and an able defender. THE CITIZEN
 under the management of MT. Wasson,
 has made a record for honesty and
 truthfulness unsurpassed in the history
 of modern journalism. I have been d
 constant reader of THE CITIZEN for over
 four years, and therefore have right
 to speak. Things are changing here
 daily, but all fer the better, the whether
 is cool and some snow on the noun
 tains. The health and spirits of the
 camp are good, and every thing moves
 in peace and harmony. All seem busy
 and cheerful, some are developing the
 mines, while others are building mills
 and houses. About McMillen's Camp all is life and vigor, large number of
 houses are going up, and considerable money is ID circulation, work is being pushed on the mines with good results
 The Tidwell Mill is still turning out
 bullion, and the Duryea Mill and Min
 ing Company have made shipment of bullion, but am not informed as to
 the amount. I understand the TOwD- send Mill is to start today.
 There have been several new dis
 coveries made during the last few days, ! one by Messrs. Byron and Bixby about
 one-half miles east of Ramboz camp,
 which bids fair to rival anything yet
 discovered in the district for both
 quality and quantity. They have put
 on force of men, and have taken out
 in the last ten days, about 150 tons
 of ore that will yield from $100 to
 $2500 per ton. The vein IS six feet
 wide, and shows metal 400 feet on
 the surface. They have also made a
 rich strike in the Miama mine, near
 Ramboz Camp. The vein is about six
 feet wide, and the ore is high-grade.
 they have on the dump ready for ship ment to the mill, about 150 tons that
 will work from $200 to $500 per ton.
 Professor Stockman has also made strike on one of his locations near the
 Champion mine, from which he show
 ed me a specimen that was literally
 covered with beautiful native gold and
 silver l estimate the specimen of $1O0O0 per ton. Also another strike is reported near the Duryea Mill, made
 by man who was chopping wood for the Duryea Company; ten sacks of this ore worked at the rate of S4O0 per ton.
 The prospects never were better. l
 Globe City is improving rapidly; when 1 stand on Main street, and con template the past, the change seems wonderful, where, but two years ago there was only a dreary wilderness with no sign of life except occasionally a prowling coyote or fleet deer travers- , ing the hills in search of food or seek 6 ing shelter from the bullets or arrows of the Apache Indians, here now stand large and cOmmOdiOus houses, and T stores, such as would be a credit to 1 older communities, and moreover our 2 buildings are finished with shingle {, roofs, plank floors, glass windows and panel doors all of which speaks vol l umes tor the energy and enterprise of our people. A spirit of thrifty business pervades the town, and one thing which | marks more strongly the growing pros [ perity of the place is the large stock !: of goods carried by our merchants, a prominent among whom are Messrs. | Logan & Vosburg, HIse < Co.,, Mor- Till & Ketcham, Wagner & Bailey,
 Bilikie & O., and NIT. WIseman, all of whom have very large assortment Of general merchandise. We have every h thing here to constitute a firstclass Q town, and ere long we will vie with f any other ill the Territory. f,
 What can be the matter with Ari- h zona? good news comes from every section of rich discoveries in mines, of I peace and prosperity. It seems that q the dark mist and gloom that o'resha6- fl owed Us so long has passed away, and fl we are ushered into the glorious morn- q ing of grea. wealth and rapid progress. n The iron horse is within our borders

 The Silver King has declared divi- W dend, the Stonewall Jackson has fol fl lowed suit, and many other mines will tl soon wheel into line with their bright Q bars of bullion 10 pay dividends and tl laboring people. W
 The merits of our mines are begin f, ing to speak. We need more experts O from San Francisco to condemn them V or they will cause stampede in this
