SATURDAY, = OCTOBER 6, 1877
[ OCIL MATTERS.

FRI ND has obliged us with a copy of Col. Hodg> book on Arizona forexamin- alton, menti, of which TIE CITIZEN has heretofore maur. Taking it's representa- tons of the Territory in general sense, the work is quite accurate, but in numer- ous details il is not so, and In some re- spects it fails to state the truth as the au- thor must have well known it. Having produced a book with considerable use ful information, the author can properly pass without being subjected to that criti. cism which he has so justly earned In the minor features Of the book. The fact that so many prominent men indorsed the au- thor without the slightest Knowledge of the contents or his book, adds nothing to its merits. It Is very clear that MT Hodge has no adequate conception Of an authors province. AS a newspaper correspondent he IS passable; as a maker Of books, away below mediccrity.

ADJUTANT GENERAL HUeHEs Gm Shurs- day supplied Company I, Arizo--- ~s olun- teers, with fifteen stand Of arms and am munition, and gave the officers their com missions, they having given ample bonds as required. Charles M. Bullard is com missloned Captain and George T. Wool folk, First Lieutenant. These officers say the people on the upper San Pedro have gone there to stay despite the Inlians. and their appearance and conduct show that they mean what they say. Some progress is being constantly made in re- claiming the Territory from Apache rule. WIrh local military organizations in Pueblo Viejo, San Pedro, Arivaca and Santa Ritas, and the various companies or the regular army al Thomas, Grant, Bow lie, Huachuca aided by Indian scouts. it does seem as if the hostile Apaches would soon find southeastern Arizona an uncom- fortable section to depredate upon.

Mining Matters.

Inquiries are being made as to what it will cost to sink a shaft one hundred feet on the Nequilla mine, west of Tue son, by San Francisco parties who have made a conditional purchase of it, and intend to thoroughly explore it.
 R. B. Kelly is pushing work on his lead mine (which is turning to silver) near town. He has made a sale of 20,- 900 pounds of the ere for use at the King mine. There seems to be vast vein of galena and the latest develop ments show ore that appears to be quite valuable for silver alone.
 MT. Prentice Head informs us that c. O. Brown has made a sale of the Young America copper mine to San Francisco men for 5000 and that act i've work will be commenced right away. The Young America IS situated some fifty miles about west Of Tucson.
 MT. Flood, of Kirkpatrick & Co.,, of Gro Blanco district, was Tn town this week for some assayers' supplies. He says their mines are entirely satisfacto- ", and that Col D. H. Fogus is highly pleased with the district and it's mines.
 NIT. John McCaferty, of the Guja or ArIvaca district. has returned from San Francisco with encouragement 10 go ahead on his mines.
 Col. c. P. Sykes returned from San Francisco yesterday morning IL will, be remembered that he was here last spring and made a thorough examina- ton of the San Xav.er mine, and took with him to the city half ton of the ore showing every grade, and the tests were highly satisfactory. Owing to the extremely dull season, ne, like hun dreds of others, did not find ready as sistance, but his indomitable persever. ance was bound to succeed, and the prospect now IS very lar that ere long he will have actual mining and reduc- tion of ore going forward.
 MT. David T. Harshaw is in from the Alta. He says the mine looks bet ter than ever, and the ore assays up in. to the hundreds The company do not yet get sausfactory-althOugh paying results from the ore. The highest result yet obtained is SS3 10 the ton, and double that amount should be saved; but he says the great value of the mine is fully proven, and they will 90 ahead determined tn have larg- CT results, and the pluck already shown by the company is the kind that in- sures the desired success.
 Col. J. D. Graham, Secretary of the Aztec company, is here from San Fran cisco. He comes to make ''ical

Expenses of Liq uidation.

Simultaneously with the publication in the Ledger of the complaint that nobody seems able or willing 10 de- wise a cheap and expeditions process of liquidation" the New York papers published an account of how Judge Robinson, of that city, applied tenn porary remedy to the growing abuse of excessive legal charges in assign ment cases. A referee has been ap- pointed to examine into the accounts of the assignee of a bankrupt firm. The report of the referee came before the Court for confirmation, and it then appeared that he had allowed S40O counsel fees to the attorney of a credi- tor whose claim for S133 had never been disputed; that he had allowed the special trustee S6,OO0 as compensation, though the legal fees amounted to only s, $50; that he had awarded $40,000 to the assignee, whose legal commissions were only $11,392, and that he had awarded to the aSsignee's counsel S10,- 900 for legal services in addition 10 Sl,000 previously paid them. Judge Robinson refused 10 sanction these awards, and characterized them as ex- orbItant In doing SO he took occasion to remind the assignee and referee of the responsibility resting upon the Court io administer estates with due regard to the interests of absent credi- tors, and it may be presumed, rather startled the lawyers by enunciating the doctrine that the fees charged by them should be prOporuOned to the amount of work done, without regard to the amount of the estate. Every one will recognize this as a good, sensible doctrine. but it seldom obtains in prac- tice, and the claims made for the ser wees of assignees and lawyers too of ten, as Judge Robinson says, suggest the acquisition Ot fortunes of lhous- ands of dollars in the happy accident of an employment Tn the course of the execution of such an assignment" Philadelphia Ledger.

No Through Mails Eastward.

No through mails by New Mexico have arrived at Tucson tor about two weeks. Assistant Postmaster Drake in forms us that the mails come and go with regularity as far east as Bowie, Grant, Goodwin and Stafford and per haps 10 Clifton On the main overland route between Bowie and Mesilla, al- though daily line, mails only get through accidentally since the Indian outbreak of a few weeks ago. The con- tractors say drivers cannot be employ ed because of the danger. This is not a subject of wonder; on the contrary il has been a subject of wonder for years that men could be hired to pass over a route on which so many have been kill ed. Of course, considerable intervals of time have elapsed in which none were killed, but the conditions out that way for years, have been such as to make most prudent men avoid employ ment along the llne The consequence has been, unreliable service and little business over the line 10 what there otherwise would and should have been. Hardly 9 day passes on which we are not asked about the safety of that route by men who want to pass over all or part of it on business. The progress Of the country has been and Is retarded because of the general insecurity along it. It seems rather bad that at this late day, men cannot be induced to risk their lives and property on that great overland mail route. But it is so.
 We have communication, however,

ITEMS from the Prescott Enterprise of September 29;
 George MarlOw was on Thursday elected assignee of the estate of G. A. Strickland, bankrupt, by the creditors.
 A little hanging would we think put a stop to stage robbing. It is sure to come to that sooner or later.
 Judge Tweed has nominated Charles B. Rush, nephew of John A. Rush, to be Register in Bankruptcy for this dis trict.
 Governor Hoyt, in behalf of the Ter ritory, offers a reward of five hundred dollars for the capture of the person or persons who robbed the stage Thursday last. Wells, Fargo & Co. have stand ing reward of three hundred dollars. and will also give one-fourth of the treasure recovered.
 Capt. T. c. Tupper and Lieut.. J. B. Kerr are appointed to meet at Camp Bowie, and such other places as may be found necessary, to purchase lot of mules, not to exceed fifly-six, and at a cost of not over S100 each.
 In the District Court, on Thursday, J. A. Lewis was sentenced 10 be bung for the murder of his wife, Henrietta Lewis, on the 7th of August, this pres ent year The Judge has fixed the time of the execution on Friday, the 23d of November next.
 Two human skeletons were recently found in an abandoned shaft on the Stirling mine. They are supposed to be the remains of two Germans, who disappeared two or three years ago, and who are thought tO have gone into the mine for the purpose of taking out tools, and were never heard from again,

ARE secondhand Guns as good as new ones? is a question often asked but never fully explained in but few words. A gun that has been used Is generally always tried, and any defects in 1t are always remedied by the owners, who are in nearly every case marksmen Of ability, who often times are hard up for little change, through the many extravagances apper- taining to members of Sporting Clubs, who generally call on Uncle Harris and leave their fowling pieces with him. We understand he has a very fine breech-lOad- ing Remington shotgun, which cost S6j, wholesale price-wilI be sold for S33; also, q fine English breech- loader, which was imported from London for S95 will be sold for $40; also a Parker Gun. breech- loader, price S2s. A French pin-fire breech- loader, cost in France s5O-price s20. We advise our readers, should they need any of these guns, call or send by express to TOP and 7O4 Kearny street, between Clay and Merchant, four doors from the City Hall, San Francisco, Cal.

thanks to the Signal Service While there are stacks or overland mall at Bowie, messages can be sent at very low rates over the telegraph, and thus prevent irreparabe damage to business men. Congress should strengthen up this cheap and almost invaluable ser. vice. So far as we can learn, it has proven itself worthy of the aid given it and juslifies the hope that Congress will strengthen It up and enlarge it's area of usefulness.
 Since the foregoing was in type, a through mail reached here on Thurs day, bringing Santa Fe letters to Sep tember 19, and perhaps later; also, Me silla valley papers to the 22d. It also brought considerable old mail back to eastern dates Tn May, including lot of mutilated mail matter discovered near Stein's Peak by James Mason and J.L. COlviz, this latter being a part of the mail carried by Sam Ward who was shot by Indians May 31. Among the matter was a draft for several hundred dollars for Fully, Ochoa & O., business letters for nearly all our mercantile houses, official matter f1r the Tucson postofiice, United States District Attor- ney Pomroy, and the pardon issued last May for James s. Giles, defaulting post. master at Prescott, whose term of i'm prisonment had about expired. It was a very important mail, and it is strange that the matter taken by the Indians so long remained undiscovered.

BY a correspondence published in a New Mexican paper, it is seen that C. P. Huntington stated about the first of September, that the Southern Pacific railroad was located 10 MaricOpa Wells, and that it was undecided whether the line would be continued 3y the way of Florence or not ItnOw seems, however, that the company will not push the road much this side of Yuma until after the meeting of the next Congress, unless it is determined to push up the Gila without regard to legal or other obstacles-just as the cars were run over the Colorado bridge into Yuma.
