Great Reduction in TeIegraphing.

Ii affords us pleasure 10 announce a great reduction in telegraphic rates over the L. s. Military lines, by order Of Gen. Meyer, Chief of the Signal ser vice Heretofore the rates have been quite low, and there being no demand for a reduction, the making of it is a more pleasant surprise. The Signal Service has surely served the public well, and considering the means at its has done much and excellent work in Arizona and New Mexico. Mr. F. NJ Speed, who has been recent ly giving personal attention to the work of construction and repair in Ar izona, is now at his post in San Diego, and July 30, he telegraphed the follow ing to the Arizona press, which will be read with interest:
 Heretofore the rate for a message of ten words by Military Telegraph line has been only 9 cents for every 250 miles, being less than half the sum charged by corporations for similar service in Arizona. This sum is the equivalent for from two and One-half, lo SIX pounds Cf potatoes; one Ordina- riiy very common cigar; glass Oi beer; a single copy of your paper; and for like truck in the States, it repre- sents fifty pounds of potatoes; six to eight good cigars; five glasses of su- perb beer, and eight and a third copies of the New York Herald. IL is not in Arizona propor,ionally to the cost of every article of necessity, but during the past year, competition in the States has made a decided reduction in tele- graph tOlls-2j cts. being the prevail ing rate for all distances east of the Mississippi rIver. The Chief Signal officer, under whose direction the Mil itary Telegraph lines are constructed and operated. and who Is awake to the interests of the people he serves, and in accordance with the downward tendency of business and prices, and determining that the government can and should do what it undertakes as low as corporations, has ordered a re- duction by which a message will here after be sent 800 miles for twenty-five cents, instead of 250 miles, as hereto fore
 THE CITIZEN long since reduced its prices. A single copy is sold for if teen cents and a quantity at eight to ten cents, and all kinds of work is done by Us at rates little above those charged

OrO BIaDcO District.

Parties wno have come in lately give cheerful reports of the mines Tn that
 District. A short distance from the Ostrich mill MessrS. Kirkpatrick &
 Flood have gone down seventy feet on
 a mine called the Alaska At depth of 40 feet they ran a cut across the lead and found eight feet of silver bearing ore. encased in well defined walls. The ore assays from $2OO to 5000 per ton. As soon as the rains are over and they can make adobeS, they will build furnaces and commence smelling their ore. In the meanwhile they will sink thirty feet further and then run anoth- CT cut, so as 10 fully develop their mine. The mine is quite close 10 wood and water, and Is easy of access. Messrs. Armstrong & Jenks have an extension on the same lead. They have run a tunnel into the hill the distance of sey- enty feet, and expect to strike the lead 40 feet from the surface.
 South from the Ostrich mill, and to- wards the line, more than 60 claims have been located. There are a good many miners in that portion of the country at present, and all are pleased with the prospects About two miles from the line MesSrs. Kirkpatrick & Flood have located a mine called the Warsaw. Near this mlnc Mr. Holden has located another called the Louise. Both of these leads have very large croppings and the ore is of a superioR quality for smelling. Kirkpatrick & Flood have sunk down 20 feet on their mine and are taking out some very rich ore. These mines are situated near nice spring, and the hlls iii all are covered with an abun- dance of oak timber and grass The country on both sides of the line, from SasSibi 10 the Santa Cruz. is without doubt rich in mines. The ruins of old rastraS and smelling works all go 10 show that many mines were worked in that location at one time, but were stopped by the hostile h. dians.

IN giving the value of packages de livered to express companies for car riage, it is better to exactly give it than to underrate it. The United States Circuit Court in Louisiana recently rendered a decision against a bank and in favor of an express company, for the difference between ihe charge on 5000 and $l0,O0O-the latter being the true value and the former that giv- en by the bank. This decision estab- fishes the fact that an express com pany can collect charges according to the true value of a package. no matter whether the shipper gives it or not.

 WAR NEws.-A great battle has been fought at Pleona on the plains of Bull garia, between the Danube and the Balkan mountains, 252 miles northwest of Constantinople; 1l5,0O0 men were engaged The Russians attacked the Turks, under Osman Pasha, in their enrenchments The latter fought with desperation, and Russian bravery was wonderful, but the slaughter fore ed the Russians to retire with loss of three thousand killed and more than five thousand wounded. At latest ad- vices, the battle renewed and still rag ing. Reinforcements were pouring in on both sides. The Turks are said to have recovered the lost ground in two of the Balkan passes
 LATER-A London dispatch this af- ternoon says Suleiman Pasha's army is now operating south of the Balkans for the defense of Adrianople, and has gained a decisive victory after a four days battle London Is wild over the belief that the Russians have been de feated decisively on both Hanks, and the campaign substantially ended for the present in favor of the Turks.

The ArlzOna Mail RoBberies.

! The trial of Charles Bush for rob bng the United States mail in Arizo- ma, was commenced yesterday in the
 United States Circuit Court. and will be resumed on Monday. The circum- stances of the case are briefly these:
 On the 7th of last March, a stage was
 stopped by two men near Wells Sta ton, on the road from Prescott, Arizo-
 na, to San Francisco. They demand
 ed Wells, Fargo & Co.'S reaure box
 and the mail bags, and their demand
 was promptly complied with. The
 highwaymen rifled the mails of their contents and partially burned that
 which was of no Use to them. United
 States army drafts to the amount of S9,- 900, drawn to the order of Livingstone
 & Co, were absiracted from letters. and $1 900 in greenbacks. The next day Bush and John Mentel (AIantel ?
 were arrested m San Bernardino on a charge of committing the robbery.
 Mentel is employed by the California anu Arizona Stage Company as de tectiye. He was directed by the Com pany to go to Arizona and join the band of mail robbers whose recent depredati1ns had terrified the travelling public. In obedience to orders he. went to Arizona in January last, and connected himself with q band of five
 highwaymen who had planned the rob-
 beIy before mentioned, and the day be-
 fore the appointed time two Of the party had a difficulty, and Bush shot at one of the party known as Poker Bill. Three of the party, Gibson, Poker Bill
 and another man, refused to join Bush in the proposed robbery. Bush and
 Mcntel were the two who stopped the
 stage Mentel took the S1 ,0O0 in green backs for his share of the plunder, and
 Bush the army drafts which he divided with Gibson. The drafts were buried under a bridge in San Bernardino county. Mentcl informed the stage company of what had transpired, and
 Deputy |. <. Marshal Dunlap and
 Deputy Sheriff Harris of Los Angeles went tO Arizona, arrested Bush, Men, tel and Gibson, and brought them to this city. The Grand Jury indicted
 Bush and Gibson, the latter for receiv- ing a portion of the stolen drafts
 Menicl then returned to Arizona on another detective expedition. He got. in with two brothers, and the three stopped and robbed a stage between Prescott and Nickenburg. This was in May The sheriff of the latter place went on a hunt for the party anu final ly captured them. He shot the arm off one of lhe men and fired at Mentel be-. fore he made his true character known The three were lodged in jail at Fort Yuma where the two brothers are now confined. Mentel was released from custody by order of the United States Attorney General, and he is in this city as a witness against Bush.-S. F. . Bulletin. July 2S.

THE ALTA reports D. D. Co'ton, a director and the financial agent of the Southern Pacific railway, as saying:
 Business has become, temporarily, so dull, in consequence of the short crops. that it has been seriously pro posed to cease all railroad construction for twelve months. And thIs will quite likely be decided upon, with the exception of finishing the new line from BantaS by the Bay shore.
 And yet we hear very close observ- CTS say the company will soon build eastward to Gila Bend or MaricOpa Wells; that they have the rails and other material on hand, and that the advance will be made to efiectually set tie the question of Arizona freights against the New Mexico route

The Strike and Riots.

At no time since 1861, has the coun- try been in such state of excitement, as it has since June F or IS, when the workmen on the Baltimore and Ono railroad struck and stopped the run ming of trains and committed deeds of murder and arson This strike was followed on nearly all roads in the country, and in thousands of manufac- tories. At Pittsburgh, Pa, on Sunday, July 9, millions of dollars worth Of property was burned and otherwise de stroyed and many people killed and wounded. At this city the strike was most formidable and the damage 10 people and railway the heaviest. IL is estimated by careful calculators that the loss because of the destruction of property, suspension of business in the city and on the railways ccntering there, enforced idleness of men. cost of suppressing the murderous rioters, amounts to S2O.OOO,O0O. The city of Pittsburgh will justly have to make good much of the loss, as the people and authorities not only failed to promptly endeavor |" suppress the riot but encouraged it until they found their city was in great danger of entire de struction. Columbus, Ohio, and few other cities iraternized with the rioters until they found the strike had become most destructive to life and property. In Chicago the rioters were desperate and many were killed and wounded by the police and troops. Little damage was done to property in Chicago, and hardly any in St Louis, Cincinnati, Louisville, Philadelphia, New York and San Francisco; but in all these places, prompt and effective measures were devised and enforced 10 destroy the rioters if necessary Our dispatch es give the situation up to yesterday afternoon. and shows that the railway troubles are presently ended and sub stantial quiet prevailing everywhere save in Scranton. Pa
 If all this trouble should end in making it safe for each and all men to work when and for whom they please, and to securely enjoy the fruits of their industry, economy and ability as they choose in a lawful way, whether in an individual or corporate capacity, ii will not have been in vain. For years past, it has been unsafe for a willing laborer in many occupations, to earn by honest work his food and clothing. except some society, the formation of which he had httle if any voice in, permitted him. Laborers have been killed in mines and mauufactorieS in many parts of our country, for no Oth- CT offenSe than q determination to earn their living m an honest way. They have been killed or maimed in mining shafts and on roads leading to and from factories, because they would work. Freedom for the laborer is one of the greatest needs of thls country to-day. With perfect freedom, he can if e will, advance in every desirable respect; without if, he cannot.

FOLLOWING Is an extract from a Florence letter to the San Francisco Post:
 There are no reduction mills in eiih- CT the Pioneer or the Pine Grove dis lriciS for custom work, and a mill of ten or twenty stamp capacity would net fortune jO any company that would erect one near these mines Miners are now paying from SjO 10 $50 per lon fir having their ores reduced at Globe City, according to the grade of ore, and are willing and anxious to pay the same for reduction in the Pic ncer district There is plenty of work there fol two such teu-Stamp mills. and properly handled Such a mill would yield the owners large income even on low grade ore at $50 per ton. So anxious are the miners that many of chem offer one-half of their ore for the reduction of the other half, and it k probably $500 or S400 ore

Local Mining Affairs.

Various items today show some gen eral advance in mining in Pima Coun- ty, and in addition to them we have the following:
 Col. C. P. Sykes continues 10 devel- op the San Xavier with excellent pros poets. Mr. White, in charge of the works, reports an unmistakeably large body of pay ore-iust how large can only be known as work progresses. Col. Sykes took with him to san Fran CISCO half ton of the various grades of ore, from which the most SatIsfacto- " results were obtained. But for the extraordinary depression in business generally in that city, the Colonel would ere this have raised a working capital, and we hear that he has fine prospects of success. No man ever came into this section who displayed more sys- tematic energy, than Col. Sykes, and we are assured that his representations in the city are fully warranted by the showing of ore at the mine.
 Manager Magee informs Us that he has increased the force on the Aztec mine to sixteen men, and that the pros poets are up to expectations.
 The Pima mine has an immense body of pay ore on the surface, and we have some reason to believe that ar. engagements will soon be made to mill il.
 MesSrS. DeLong and JefIords intend to continue to develop the Bronkow, which is undoubtedly a mine of value
 Everybody is encouraged in the Ari- yaca district
 The fact is that slow as it appears and is of necessity, mining develop ment in Pima county goes steadily for ward with an average degree of en- couragoment Very little foreign cap ilal has been introduced yet. Citizens of the county are gning ahead with their own means, and all in all, tue mining outlook k cncOurariur
