WE have received the following
letter dated Sept. Is. The Citizer
published the same dated Sept 4
but the subject matter is of inter.
est to all inhabitants of Arizona.
EDITOR SENTINEL:
Being somewhat largely interested in
some valuable mining property in Arizona
it is but natural that l should seek, with
the means at my command, to pro.
mote her future welfare and prosperity
both as an agricultural and mineral pro.
ducing country, but more particularly the
latter. By reading the following lines you
will be able to judge if what l propose is
worth publishing, say once or twice in your
influential paper:
Mr.. A. Durand, mining engineer, and
professor of mineralogy at the University
of St. Denis, Loire, who is an old Californian
and thoroughly acquainted with Arizona,
having Travelled throug.l it on a scientific
expedition, in 1867, proposes in letter to
me, dated August 16, 1877, to secure prom
inent place at the Grand Exposition or
Worlds Fair at Paris, France, to be held in
Paris, France, to be held in that city during
1878, commencing May 1, and there to
exhibit our valuable Arizona minerals of
all kinds. He will also deliver one or more
lectures ON the subject, thus drawing the
attention of the scientific world, as well as
the capitalists of all nations to the wonder
full wealth of our mines.
Now, Mr.. Editor, if any of your Arizona
miners or mine owners desire TO disclose to
the outside world the existence of Arizona's
immense mineral riches, let them select
good samples of their ore, pack them care
fully with name of owners, mine, district
and assay value, when it is convenient, and
forward them by mail, it will cost one cent
per ounce, addressed to me at AIS Vallejo
street, San Francisco. 1 will forward them
to my friend, A. Durand, now in Paris, who
will assay, properly label and care for them,
and secure prominent place at what will
be truly grand and unique exhibition, at
which Europeans can learn something
about Arizona's hidden treasures. The
whole world will be represented there and
can learn whether it is or is not worth their
while to invest some of their surplus capital
in developing those untold riches. A little
article to the point in your paper will,
doubtless, induce many of your miners to
embrace the opportunity now offered of
and representing their resources.
Millions upon millions of idle capital in
Europe is seeking profitable investment,
and it may be that this will be the means
Of bringing the so much needed capital to
your doors. Should any premiums be given
Mr.. Durand will promptly forward all nec-
essary documents &c, to whom they may
be awarded, and make general report at
the close of the exhibition.
Feeling assured that you will cooperate
with me in carrying out this important
matter, am, yours respectfully.

authority that there are few teams
in Arizona that will load over
eight tons each; at this rate 100
tons would require thirteen teams.
all Of the maximum strength and
size.
The statement that on each ton
of these 100 there was e3acted
thirty dollars more than ought to
have been charged is also open to
doubt. Who is to decide what is
more or less than what ought to
he charged? Can the Miner prove
that $50 per ton was charged more
than it would have cost by any
previous means OF transportation,
or by any other present route?
We believe that an individual
or corporation ought to charge the
cost and fair percentage on cap
ital invested, for rendering any
service Is the Miner prepared to
prove that more was charged in
this case?
If 100 tons of merchandise arriv-
ed in Prescott on any one day, by
all the teams arriving from every
direction, which we doubt, we
certainly do not believe it ever
happened before, much less that
it ever will again, and still less
that it ever will, even once a

Why then does not the Miner con-
tinue its calculations? If the
"Overcharge ofthis California rail-
road monopoly" is forty thousand
dollars per year (Which it is not
even on the Miners statement. for
twelve times three thousand are
not forty thousand)and $4OO, 900 for

Mutation.

To the Editor of the NIorristown Gazette:
Few people fully realize the changes
which are constantly occurring, even in
their own limited neighborhoods. But,
when one stops to look over his neigh
borhood, and notes the changes made in
it for a stated length of time, one is re-
ally astonished.
When a person of twenty or twenty
five years of age leaves his native place
to go out into the world, and does not
Immediately return, he is apt to be
hOmesick," and is led to believe there
is no place on earth so lovely as his dear
old home, however humble it may have
been. He longs to GO back and behold
scenes once familiar ana converse with
friends once his intimates, but ii he puts
off his return for only a lew years, the
changes wrought are 50 numerous that
he is astonished beyond account. He
had not thought to note the facts which
have been narrated to him in his private
correspondence concerning the death of
some, the removal Of others, and es-
pecially has he forgotten to note the fact
that the children he left behind him
twelve to fifteen years of age, have
grown to manhood and womanhood, and
are no longer children. He goes back and
realizes all these changes, when a lOneli-
ness anu a inconsistencies comes over him
which he cannot describe, and the long
visit he contemplated with pleasure be-
comes irksome and disagreeable, and he
is anxious to get back to the place from
which he came. Many have met with
such experience. The writer remembers
that he visited a neighborhood in 1913,
which he left in 1881, and found not a
solitary man, woman or child in a school
district OF fifty children left-not one.
Michael Myers, farmer who resides
within three miles of Morr1stown. and
who has resided in that vicinity nearly

A very serious accident befell party
of young ladies of our town last Satur-
day, the parties being Misses Mollie and
Ella Morris and Miss Mary Haynes. They
were met at the flag station a few miles
west of this place, on the arrival of the
train, by friend with horse and buggy
to convey them 10 Cedar Grove Church,
in the neighborhood of Panther Springs,
where a picnic was being held The
three young ladies entered the buggy
and started, the horse moving at a brisk
walk which increased to a trot and then
a gallop. A couple of gentlemen ahead
of them as the horse came near run to-
ward it to stop it. The horse made a
sudden shy turning over the buggy and
throwing out the ladies with great vio-
lence. Miss Haynes was thrown against
a projecting rail, cutting through the
muscle of one arm, severely injuring her
hip and causing other bad bruises. Miss
Mollie Morris had her right collar bone
broken. Miss Ella Morris miraculously
escaped without serious injury. The
crippled ladies were doing well at last
accounts.

Death of Gen. VIM. Brazelton.

Gen. William Brazelton, highly re-
spected citizen of New Market, Tenn,
departed this life at his residence the
18th inst, aged eighty-fve years. His
death was not unexpected by friends
and relatives, he having been confined
to his room for several days. General
Brazelton was widely known in East
Tennessee, but kown best in his own
county of Jefferson, over which his de-
mise has cast sad gloom. He held the
admiration and respect of friends and
acquaintance for his intelligence, hon
esty, hberality and general worth, es-
pecially in the community in which he
lived. He was probably the oldest citi-
zen of New Market, having located there
when only in woods. AS a Christian,
he was faithful unto the end"

Morristown is ''the rising" town of

strip all others, in a short time. or as
soon as she can get her railroad facili-
ties properly adjusted. This is settled
fact. Though the town is grow

give us pleasure to have it increased
especially would we extend cordial in
vitation to the energetic and liberal
minded to come and remain among as
and help elevate our city to a higher
standard. The town and surrounding
country is admirably adapted for various
manufacturing purposes, affording un-
surpassed facilities in many instances,
and we can see no reason why some or
all of them cannot be advantageously
worked to the success of the right men
who have them in hand.
