PlOnOsa.

D. s. Lusk, Superintendent of the Mo reno Mine, writes us that a ledge has re- gently been discovered three or four miles southwest from the Moreno, at the old Plom osa Placer Mines. These Placers were once very rich yielding three and four hundred dollars a day to the man. The ledge that deposited the gold in these piacers has been found and located and the rock is full of free gold. One piece, the size of goose-egg was shown to Mir. Lusk, which was completely cover- ed with gold. A ree-stamp mill, now at Yuma, will soon be put up at the mine to work this rock, which must pay largely
 These mines are only about thirty miles from the Colorado River, at Ehren berg, the road is first class, and it would seem that nothing could hardly hinder the speedy accumulation of fortune, if the rock is as tenth part as rich as repre-

Texas Pacific and Southern Pacific
 Railroad Affairs.

Chicago, Jan. 16th--The Times Wash ington special says; The report of Secre- tary Schurz's Commissioners, who last fall examined the section cf the Southern Pacific Railroad to Yuma, south of Colton has been ready six weeks and IS under stood to be highly favorable to the gener- al character of the road. The Secretary has been unexpectedly delayed by a pro- test from the Texas Pacific that the Southern Pacific crosses its line some 2,O00 feet from the Colorado River, and has no right to the land grant beyond the point of crossing. The Southern Pacific Company, under the grant, is given land grant for the construction of the road to the Texas Pacific at some point near the Colorado River, and when Engineer Gray came to lay the Southern Pacific road, he found the Texas Pacific only existed in an incomplete survey of it's line. and he therefore built his road to the most con- venient place for crossing the Colorado River, and bridgeG it. His company there fore, claims the construction of the road and tue grant annexed.

Smallpox.

This trouble has not improved any during the last week. If anything matters are a little worse. The weather has been cold, damp and favorable to con- tinuation of the malady. The Health Officer has resigned in dis gust, because he could not enforce any sanitary regulations. He re- ported 15 cases recovered, 15 new cases and no deaths, during the week proceeding his resignation. Since then one patient has died. He was doSed to death with herbs and roots. Travel and trade are falling off and will continue to do so until our people conclude to sustain the authorities in enforc- ing sanitary measures. The SEN TINEL office is almost out of town and pursues strict policy of no- admittance and non-intercOurse. But we are getting weary of so much isolation and of keeping our atmosphere saturated with car bolic acid and chlorine. Our voice is for vigorous public meas 1IToc

Curious COinc7dences.

Military headquarters near Prescott used to have a first-class printing office and to run a news paper called the Whipple News. Well, the News is defunct the Enterprise comes out with some new type; and Marion, its editor, says that every opponent of the Army in Arizona is either "a dis carded contractor or the servant of such" In a week or two more he will apply names worse than that. By that time the govern ment office will be short of some thing else besides type. Maybe the President will do some more grumbling about ''public property for private uses."

Attention Mining Companies !! 2 RICK ARDS PATENT
 Oxidizing and Chloridizing F U R N A c E l!
Roasting Copper, Silver and Other Ores
 Prior to Leaching or Amalgamation.

THE MOST STRIKING ADVANTAGES ! wkich it offers above all other recent inventions of this nature may be briefly summed up as follows:
 1st. ITS CHEAPNESS-Th cost of it's erection tor royalty and freight) not exceed ing $500 for a capacity to roast and chlo- ridize twenty tons per day, viz: brick work. 5000, and iron work, including blowes, ,S5OO.
 2d. Short time required for erection, viz If days after providing all material, with sutficiency of labor.
 Sd. No expensive, heavy or complicated machinery being necessary, involving heavy freight to the district where 1t may be required. Brick and clay, generally ob- tainable on the spot, being the chief mate rial required in its construction.
 4th. No skilled labor or technical expe- rience is necessary to work it, two ordinary laborers being sufficient to attend to it when in full operation.
 9th. It does not easily get out of order, and is readily repaired by an ordinary mason or blacksmith when it does.
 9th. The royalty, or license to use it. IS exceedingly moderate, removing thereby all temptation to evade or infringe the patent.
 7th. Calculating labor at B per day, ana wood at S6 per cord, the cost of roasting IS but little over S1.50 per ton (ex-salt when chloridlZed,) at these high California rates for labor and fuel.
 One of them is now in course of erection by the Aztec Gold and Silver Mining Com- pany, at their mill in the Aztec dlstrlct. Santa Rita mountains, Southern Arizona At their office, 302 Montgomery street, rooms IA and 15. a model may be seen and working drawings, with all further infor- nation necessary to enable any ordinary mason to construct the furnace, may be obtained from Col.

Plenty More Left.

The rich silver croppings of va
 rious districts of Arizona have
 been travelled over for years by
 prospectors and "rule-'o-thumb'
 miners and experts, without any
 recognition of their value. It is
 only within couple of years that silver has been known in the Silver
 King and Peck mines; although the Stoneman Grade passes right
 across the former, within a few
 yards of ore worth hundreds of dollars per ton, cropping out to a night of 20 to 30 feet, and is a road that has been travelled for years. The trail across the Peck mine. is one of the oldest in that section; float ore, worth thousands per ton, was found by Ed. Peck in a spring near the mine, at which hundreds of prospectors have camped; thou sands of men have ridden across the Peck without dreaming of the wealth spurned by their horses hoofs. The Silver Prince is a ledge parallel toard near the Peck; the trail crosses it also and had worn quite channel through the soft ore. Little more than a year ago Houghtelin gouged out for us, right in the trail, a specimen which we had assayed in San Francisco and which gave a result of nearly $8C00 per ton. Even at that time, IS months ago, the Black War rior was looked upon merely as a pretty good prospect. The Tip Top is another new discovery of silver made in a section that has heretofore been eXhaustively ran- sacked in search of gold. The fa- nous McCrackin is a bold ledge, visible for miles from the principal trails through that partof Mohave county. Yet its location as a sil- yer mine is comparatively recent. What we want to show is that there are still immense tracts in Arizona that have never known intelligent prospecting for silver. The facts just cited seem to prove it. Nearly the whole of Yuma county comes within that catego- ry. Of all the men who have run over it for gold, not one in a thou sand knows silver croppings when he sees them. Of late the best travelled trails and the oldest | known sections of Arizona have l been most prolific in rich silver discoveries. We firmly believe i that rule to still hold good and | predict many a bonanza to be ! shortly exposed in this old county | of Yuma.

KAUTz is a gone cat. The Com mander in chief of the Army has snubbed him, the General of the Army has done it and so has the SENTINEL. The Prescott papers did not bow down and worship him, as usual, on his return. None so poor to do him reverence. Capt. Campbell wanted to bring kautz into court to prove that he too fused public property for private purposes" When an Indian Agent does that, it iscaNed "steal- ing''-for short. Kautz did not want to go into court-perhaps he was right. He had important business about that time, outside Of Arizona. When civil officers do such things they are removed. When Department Commanders do them, sometimes they are not removed. It is hard to get an off, cer of any account to come out here and take command of so re- mote a Department as Arizona. Lieut.. Fleming might be willing to relieve Kautz, if pardoned; he has already served out considera- ble of his sentence.

Army appropriations were made some time ago. Army indebted ness has been paid off in other parts of the Territory, while here in Yuma not a cent has been paid for labor or supplies, for nearly seven months. Gen. Kautz in his published rigmarole about Stafford and Tucson, showed some spite against Capt J. H. Lord, disburs- ing officer now here. Can he be having Lords funds kept back, to break him down in the estimation of Yuma? Looks like it.

OFFICE OF SEC'Y OF THE TERRITORY PREsCoTT, A. T., Jan. 12, 1878. l To boomers and managers of mines in Af'izona GENTLEMEN :: 4 grand opportunity Is now before us to advertise to the world the wonderful richness of our mines, and we should speedily avail ourselves of it. Gov. Mccormick, of our own Territory, fortu- nately for us, will soon go to Paris, as the representative of the United States at the great exposition, and it will become his duty, and no doubt his pleasure as well, to give Arizona and her productions consid- erable prominence.
 Millions of dollars lie hidden away in the bottomless lodges of gold and silver within our limits, and capital is greatly needed with which to develop this endless production
 paratively little is known of Arizona and her mineral resources except by her own citizens, therefore it becomes the duty of every Arizonian to avail himself of ev- cry opportunity coming his way 10 give 10 give wings to this knowledge. Wehave been asked and even urged by public spir- ite1 men on the Pacific Coast to send to San Francisco specimens of our cres to be sent from there to the Worlds Expo sition at Paris. Seemingly little or nothing has been done in the matter of furnishing specimens from this Territory to be thus forwarded. l am informed by the Chairman of the Committee on Min erals for the Pacific Coast that they will ship from San Francisco within about four weeks. The time is very limited, therefore what we do must be done quickly. If you will send to the care of this office specimens of ore, will see that they are carefully labelled and securely packed, aud duly forwarded to their dcs- tination.
 iCeSC Sl'S IldliAC Ol liiluC, OhI IiCio of same, from which specimens are taken also amount of bullion produced, estima- ted total value of ore on the dump, and the average value per ton of ore produced from the mine, with any other facts that may occur to you, aud they will be con- densed and written upon the label so far as possible. Four pounds can be sent through the mail in a single package, at cost of one cent per ounce. If you intend 10 assist in making display of our min eral at the Exposition please act at once, while the subject is upon your mind.
 A fine display of ore at Paris, such as we are abundantly able to make, will, no | loubt, bring a rich return to mine owners n particular and the Territory in general |
