The Stock Market.

Quite stir was visible on our streets yerterday among those interested in Arizona mines situated in the Globe District, caused by the reception of a letter by Prof B. H. Smith, who is a heavy holder in Excelsior shares, from J. s. McCleary, the Superintendent of that mine. The letter is dated Decem- Der ', and gives a very fiattering ac- count of the progress so far made in the development of the Excelsior He states that the hanging wall has been penetrated, and that a well-defined ledge, two feet in thickness, discover ed, the ore in which presents the ap- pearance of great richness. The ledge is cncased between walls of solid rock, giving evidence of permanency. Sev- eral specimens of the ore were sent to the adjoining camps for assay, but at the writing of the letter the returns had not been received. McCleary has high hopes of developing splendid mine, and even hints that it is likely to prove the richest in the district. The holders of Excelsior shares look very cheerful.-Yolo Democrat.

machinery worked as smoothly as though it had just been stopped to oil. The company intend to begin on ore from their mine, the Miami, large quantity of the ore is now ready for the crusher and teams are constantly plying between the mine and the mill. Outside of the Miami ore the mill will be kept running on custom work. This IS something that has long been need ed in this district. A great many miners have good prospects from which they have taken many tons of good ore, but they have no capital to assist in further development, and no market for their ores. I predict better times, hard work and good results in this sec tion when the Miami mill is once un- der good headway.
 W. Townsend & O., are the leading merchants of Miami City, they have a fine stock of goods with our congenial friend NIT. Oppenheimer, as business manager. The restaurant IS presided oyer by Mrs. Butte. MT. Jarard is in charge of the mIll at present and MT. La Dow, the prospective engineer. I feel sure that the operations at Miami City during the next three months will show good results and furnish THE CITIZEN some encouraging facts for publication.

Tucson Items.


 New Years day was one of the most beautiful of the season; clear and cool yet not uncomfortable. "Calls" were generally the order of the day and business mostly suspended No brawls of any kind are reported in the town and therefore it can be truly said the New Year started in socially and peacefully. As an evidence of the era of peace, city officers were elected on New Years day without opposition, as follows: James H. Toole, mayor R. N. LeatherwoOd, Paul Abadie, Baron M. Jacobs and Estevan Ochoa, council men; w. w. Williams, treasurer; A. G. Buttner, marshal; Augustus Brichta, assessor and collector; Henry Smith, poundmaster. $. W. Carpenter was voted for as city recorder, although it is said the recorder is appointed by the council in accordance with the law. All were elected by votes ranging in number from 105 to 122, except the marshal who only received eighty, there being forty-one cast for T. G. Rush. There being no opposition lex cept in latter case) the vote was light. A meeting was held Tn the courthouse the night before election and the ticket elected (save in the case of the marShaD put in nomination.
 On the 31st, Wm. Matlock and Syl- vester Lowell, were examined before |. s. Court Commissioner Neugass on a charge of having robbed the stage and mail at Desert Station. Three wit nesses testified that the parties so charged, were in the Huachuca noun tains at the time of the robbery and that it would have been impossible for them 10 have been twenty-five miles from those mountains at the date of the robS cry without the knowledge of the witnesses; therefore on the motion of U. s. District Attorney Pomroy, the accused were discharged.
 Reports are received here that "spe- cial agent" Redfeld whose bad con duct in Tucson has been aired in THE CITIZEN, has been summarily dlscharg- ed by the Commissioner of the General Land Office, because of his course in Arizona. The report ought to be true.
 Among the distinguished visitors in Tucson during the week, were Chef Eskiminzin, hIs sister and daughter, and Captain Sagalay from San Carlos. They speak kindly of the editor of THE CITIZEN.

Border Agitation Injurious.


 The steady prosperity of any people can only be maintained by peace Wars or fears of war repel capital and men of prudence from their presence, and attract the reckless adventurers of every grade of badness. These facts are undeniable or will not be denied by men of ordinary observation and frankness; and yet just now there are men along our southern border where so much in the way of mining and stock-growing not only depends on peace but general confidence that peace will be unbroken, evidently anx- ious for war with Mexico, and Mexi- can and American army officers have been seen to embrace each other and talk of what treatment each would give the other in ease of their capture as prisoners. Some of this conduct may be attributed 10 Christmas diet but perhaps the diet simply dispels re- serve and causes the true inwardness" to have public and free expression. This agitation and war-talk have al- ready prevented San Francisco men from engaging in enterprises and mak- ing beneficial investments near the Ar iZona ard Sonora line, and perhaps the result will be that the central and northern portions of the Territory will get benefits originally designed for the lower part Men who have means to invest have the whole country for a field of operations, and they will sure 1y avoid sections where there IS much talk of war on any scale-even though the whole trouble begins and ends in talk and telegrams. The advantages gained by the operations of troops are but temporary and confined to but very few, and that few embrace but very few actual settlers; while peace benefits all legitimate industries - builds up at the same time mining, tillage of the soil in all its branches, and the growing of all domestic ami mals.
 Owing to our nearness to the MeXi- can border, we have taken great care to ascertain if there is a present or early probability of war with Mexico, and feel confirmed in the opinion that there is none and should be none, al though reckless and lawleSs adventu- rers may get up local disturbances and fights as in Texas. The latest Wash ington news indicates peace with Mex ico and the recognition of the Diaz government by the United States, and private letters and telegrams from the higher Mexican authorities in Mexico, show no purpose with them to disturb the peace between the two nations and also that the intentional peace of Mex ico is on hopeful footing. But the foolish not 10 say wicked talk and tel egrams regarding impending border disturbances, have already done much damage, and will do more if not stop ped and as prONptly as possible the past influence of them counteracted. All the permanent improvements of the country must be those of peace and can only be brought about by peace and maintained with peace.

INFORMATION from Washington says that General Kautz while there deem. ed it prudent to give assurances that he would see to it that better protec. tion would be given to the various in. terests in southeastern Arizona, from the attacks of hostile Indians. The understanding seems to be that the General heard enough to convince him that troops should be and must be used by himself or another commander, where hostilities are frequent and de siruciive.

PaYmaster Robbed.

MARIcoPA WELLS, January 3.-Yes- terday at l D. m, eleven miles west of here, Major Fowler, Paymaster, and party, was stopped by three masked highwaymen and relieved of $275 in currency and three government mules. The highwaymen had hearts as big as COW and returned the major six dol lars in money and made him a present of an old broken-down pony to enable him to reach Maricopa. They said that they intended to rob the stage last night. but did not do it.

Increased HfaiI Service.

WASHINGTON, December 2S.-The Postoffice Department to day issued orders increasing the mail service be- tween Fort Worth, Texas, and Fort Concho, New Mexico, from SIX times week to daily, and allowing $13,OOO per annum additional pay. The pres ent service, which costs $7S,000 per year, corresponds precisely with the number of mails that are conveyed by the Texas Pacific railroad to and from Fort Worth, and some curiosity is eX- pressed both in regard 10 the necessity for the increased inland service and as to how much of the recent half mil lion appropriation will be left for the establishment of entirely new servIce where mail facilities are urgently need ed, if such large portions continue to be distributed to swell the profits of old contractors. The Department in tends to have the mails carried between Fort Worth and Yuma, Arizona, under one contract during the next four years term, instead of, as at present, four con- tracts, one of which extends from Me silla, New Mexico, to San Diego. The present pay for the service between Fort Worth and Yuma aggregates $32! 900 per annum, and the advertise ment for the new contract requires that each bid shall be accompanied by bond for S32O,O0O and a certified check for $16,OO0 as security against failure to execute the contract and commence service. Bidders for this route are therefore not likely to be very numerous
