The Arizona sentinel., 1877-12-22

NJ. TIERNY, of the McMlllan M. Co. went through here this week on his way to San Francisco. He gives excellent accounts of Globe district and of the mines near Me Millanville, which is now town with two large stores, about dozen saloons, a great many new buildings and more in course of erection, and nearly 400 people. The Stonewall still holds that famous native silver vein, which has also been struck in another shaft farther down the hill The Tidwell mill is kept steadily at work on its lower grade ores and pounds out much more than bullion enough to pay all ex- penses of the mine. The rich ores are still shipped regularly. Another dividend will probably be declared by his company soon after Tierney gets to San Francisco. Flournoy has let contract to McMillan for work on the Gen. Lee mine, an exten- sion of the McMillan Co.'s Stonewall Jack son, and the prospects are already very fattering. Tierney reports many new dis coveries in the district, and is very confi- dent of its future.

THE wet weather of the past two weeks has taken away our security against the spread of small pox and made Yuma just as liable to it as Los Angeles and San Ber- nardino, both of which places are in daily communication with us and equally ex. posed, should the disease ever become epidemic here. Several cases are reported but we are not enterprising enough to in- vestigate them in person, and exaggera- ton has been so rife on this subject that it is hard to give the exact facts. Fully half the town believes that our sherif,s children are down with it. though from seeing the children nearly every day around the court house, we know it is not the case and are prepared to believe that similar exaggeration has occurred in other instances. That there are some pa tients here there is good reason to believe; also that there will be some until proper steps are taken to isolate them and to dis infect or destroy their clothing, etc., or un- til the air again gets dry as usual, when the disease will dry out and disappear as it has always done heretofore.

tracted all shipped to San Francisco, b! wagon rom the mine to Yuma and iron thence by the Colorado river, Gulf of Cal
 ilornia and the Pacific Ocean. The wagoi transportation alone cost s12OOO per ton besides steamboat and schooner freight The company was making money, hat erected large and commodious building' at the mine and were preparing to con
 duct operations on large scale, when tht sudden and great fall in the price of cop
 per, at about the end of the war of the re
 bellion, made copper mining unprofitablt and work was suspended. The late Frank P. Clymer was employed for several years to take care of the property. After few years of inaction the company got demor
 aiized and neglected to pay up assess
 ments for paying Clymer's wages. Ht then sued, attached and bought the prop
 erty in at sheriff's sale. When he died last year, this part of his estate was ap
 praised at s2O,OOO by men thoroughly ia
 miliar with the mine. Since that time the Southern Pacific railroad has been built tC within little over 100 miles of the mine and will soon be within 50 miles of it. The old company used to pay $2O per barrelf fol flour, $10 per sack for barley and for other supplies in proportion. Now everything of that kind costs third of former prices
 Water, fuel and grass are abundant around the mine. Excellent lime rock occurs close by. The buildings are in good state of preservation. In fact, everything about the property now invites the atten. tion of capital. The deeper workings are now filled with seepage water, but Salazar and other miners who worked below, at the time work was suspended, declare that the ore was better and wider at the bottom than at any other part of the mine. There is some question as to the title. The minor helrs of Clymer claim it. J. H. Nor ton and another gentleman of Yuma jump ed and located it last spring. Some par ties in Florence jumped and located it last June, enormously recording the location in Maricopa county, and Don Juan A. Rob- inson, of San Francisco, claims to own 2 Mexican land grant, which includes the mine. The property is too valuable one to long lie idle and we trust 1t may soon pass iGto hands capable of deveitpiug it.

PROPOSALS to serve as County Physi- clan for the year 1878 were received by the Board of Supervisors on Monday, the 17th Dr. 1aggart offered to serve, furnishing medicines, for s12OOOO, said services not including post mortems nor attendance on small pox patients. Dr. Painter offered to serve for S10O per month, saying nothing about medicines or small pox patients and charging $25 per month additional for post mortems, if desired. Alter due dis cussion, by unanimous vote of the board, it was determined to reject both proposals and not to employ any physician until the county gets some sick paupers or prison CTS.

NEARLY S0,0OO pounds of concentrates from the Silver King mill are now on the road down here.

MEssRs. READY AND SCHULTZ, of the Moreno mine near Ehrenberg, came down the river in a row boat on Thursday and took the cars for California. They brought some of the finest gold quartz specimens we ever saw in Arizona. The mine has turned out splendidly and they have now gone for ten-stamp mill. The rest of the Territory boasts of silver and copper, but Yuma county is Chief for gold and lead.

LAST Friday night the heavy rains on the California desert proved too much for the railroad track. It was washed away m more than one hundred places, varying from little gaps that could be filled in a few moments to openings calling for a days work of twenty men. At one place the water had damned up and flowed across the track for half mile, cutting little gullies between the ties. When in the vicinity of Volcano the engine and some of the cars broke through and got off the track. Amid the racket an old express messenger awoke from dreams of stage riding and road agents, stammering out "D-d-d-d-on't shoot! Here's the express box!!" The train was running at about usual speed, 15 miles an hour. Fortunately no one was hurt. The engine had got across the worst place before getting off the rails. She was set on the track again and ran a few miles when tie road was found worse than before. From there a hand car was run to Yuma, about 60 miles, bringing Dr. and Mrs. Thompson and ex. press messenger Gould, who had $5OOO in greenbacks for paymaster Nelson and who perhaps, did not want to tempt train hands with that much money. Men were sent out from Los Angeles and Yuma and the road was soon repaired for the passage of the train. On Monday night the rain again did great damage. The Yuma bound train was ordered to stop at Dos Palmas until the arrival there of the construction train sent out from here. It finally got in on Wednesday night. From Ogilby to Frink Springs, about forty miles, the road was washed out at every few hundred feet and the culverts foated off. Ties were sent out from Los Angeles and the worst places cribbed up so that now trains pass in per feet safety. Pile drivers have been ordered out and many of the former culverts will be replaced with trest.e work. It will take about month to fully repair all damages.

THE famous Ajo copper mine, southeast

THE famous Ajo copper mine, southeast of Mohawk station, still lies untouched, to the great surprise of old Arizonans who know something of its history. Prop erly speaking it is a group of mines rich in copper and carrying a large per centage of gold and silver. It was at one time worked by the father of Hon. J. NJ. Redondo of this place. That was before the Gadsden purchase of the territory ly. ing south of the Gila river. A party of American adventurers went down and To- cated it and fought for it with parties from Sonora. Being considered debatable ground, nothing was done with it for years. Finally company was organized in San Francisco, of which P. B. Cornwall (of Black Diamond fame) was the leading split. Large quantities of ore were ex-
