A New Divi lend Payer.

The famous Silver King mine, of Arizona, will wheel into line on the 18th of Novem- Der as dividend payer. Col. Barney, who has recently acquired majority of the stock, announces that hereafter dividends will be declared regularly every month. The first one will be fifty cents, and per haps the n, Xt one, in December, the same amount; but in January it is his intention to increase tIem to one dollar per share, and continue them indefinitely at that rate
 This famous mine, about which so much has been written and such fabulous stories
 told, seems about entering upon the era of prosperity so long predicted for it. The Silver King, which most people know, is in Pioneer District, Final county, Arizona WIS located March 22, 1615 by Colonel c. M. Mason, B. w. Reagan and man named Copeland. About year ago Colonel J. M. Barney purchased half interest in 1t for $30JO00 and the working of the mine was actively prosecuted. From the date of dis covery ul,il the completion of its mill, it paid in clear lrCtit to it's owners 'S2SO,00J This was from selected ore alone, sacked and shipped to this city. The second grade ore was piled at the dumps to await the erection of mill and concentratOr>. Ot this ore-ore that will go S200 to the ton there are now 5000 tons on the dumps, and at least as many more thousands eX- posed to view in the mine. Fhe present value of the ore in sight in t1e mine and on the dumps is believed to be fully $1 ,S00,- 00O No ore is now being raised from the mine, nor will there be until the mill has partially cleared the dumps, which are crowded to Overfowng. With the present reduction facilities Colonel Barney believes he can pay s5OOOO mo tn in dividends and carry over each month 1T handsome surplus in addition. Additional facilities VIII, nOWeNer, De pTOEiueu, anu JIG uiNIu- end increased to dollar, as we have said. There are 100000 shares in the mine. About a week ago New York syndicate offered Colonel Barney S250,0OO for 25,O00 shares, but the offer was promptly declined, the gentleman preerring to hold his stock as permanent investment-[S. r.

The Arizona sentinel., 1877-11-10

IT is reported on very good au- thority that Gen. August V. Kautz, now in Washington, will not return to take command of the Department of Arizona. Well, there are many worse men than old Kautz. It was generally un- derStood last July that an order has been issued relieving him of the command, but that the order was suspended at Kautz's request, to give him an opportunity of showing that he was neither SD inefficient nor so "cussed" as had been charged by certain civilians of this Territory. In time of war Kautz is "away up;" his record shows that big enough. But as a Department Commander in time of peace, he-you see, it takes an American to boss Americans, and do it right.

tion which he holds, and in the appoint ment of his subordinates true, tried and trustworthy men have been chosen. He is a polite and affable gentleman who takes pleasure in extending to visitors every means to acquaint themselves with the working of the institution committed to his keeping,
 The Board of Territorial Prison Commis- sioncrS consists of Messrs. A. J. Finlay and David Neahr, of Yuma, and MT. Frank of Ehrenberg. Judge Alexander is Secreta- ry of the Board.
 The commissioners have allowed per sons accused of crime, awaiting trial, to be kept at the expense the County where their crimes were alleged to have been committed. One prisoner, convicted of unlawfully manipulating the mail matter entrusted to bis care while on duty at Tue son, is among the number of the eonvicts.
 To the eontcmplative mind there is much suggested by visit to the Territo- rial Prison. We look around us in every direction and the world seems filled with bcnificence and beauty, glorious in its ac- tion and itself. The river murmurs to the sea, and its waters laugh as they glide by the prison walls, the national colors float in the sunshine from the military post on the opposite bank, the hum of uusy indus try and the glad shout of the school-boy is heard in the town of Yuma, the voice of the church bell and of the school huuse answers the whistle of the locomotive, and declares that this is no longer "a far of and remote land" The prisoner breathes the fresh air of heaven; save which, he boasts of nothing as his own except Hope, which springs eternal ill the human breast Isolated from his fellow men, he reviews the struggles and temptations he has pass ed, the brief pulsations of joy, the feeble ness o purpose, the desJlation of the souls sanctuary, anl threatening voice within, and if he be not hardened in crime aLd steeped in sin, resolves that when the phi son doors shall be shut upon him for the last time, he will walk ill the ways of plea santness and the paths of peace. Let those who contemplate crime remember that the prison is not holy place, and tn t its sad floor is not an altar. Justice, though rot always sure. is oftentimes speedy.
