Eastern Mine Locator. in Arizona.

AmoDth ago party of capitalists from
 the East left San Francisco to explore the mineral wealth of Arizona, and, if the pros
 pecting resulted successfully, to take up claims and begin their development with vigor that command of money would insure. The party has just returned to the city in buoyant spirits over the discoveries of the trip, and confident that they have bonanzas in hand that will yield ldhandsomely. Proceed ing to the railroad crossing of the Colorado at Fort Yuma, the party with private con veyance, journeyed to Tucson. and from thence went 50 or 70 miles beyond, into the mining region of the Santa Rita Mountains. Dr. H. R. Allen, of Indianapolis, headed the expedition, which included q gentleman named Wilding, of Philadelphia. Both Mr. Wilding and Dr. Allen are reputcd very wealthy, and if there is anything to develop in the mines they have located or acquired, they have the means to push their enterprise. Twenty-two mines, within short district, but not all on the same ledge, were taken up or acquired by the party. Some of these have been partly worked, but to very lini- tied extent. Twenty years ago mining camp existed in the neighborhood, but trou- bles with the hostile Indians drove the ad- venturous searchers after the precious met als away. About 30 miners are now at work in the distr.ct. Wood abounds in the mountains, and water is at hand to run an ore mill. The indications of the lodges were that very rich ore will be obtained, and the party is so convinced that their enter prise will be profitable that it is not pro- posed to launch the mines on the market Dr. Allen has experience of mining in Mon- tana. An important aid to the development of the country will be the putting through of the Southern Pacific Railroad. Once there are good facilities of communication, mining in Arizona will receive powerful The party leaves for the East in few days.-[S. F. Call, Jan. 9th.

J. II. Lee, of American Ranchh returned from somewhat protracted trip to Salt River, his teams, as we have stated else- where, will be here Saturday. He informs us that Thos. Saunders only found thirteen head of Miller's cattle in Rockers band, though he, Lee, is quite convinced there were more there somewhere, but they could not be found. Lee saw quite number of cattle on the route as he came home, far away from where cattle usually range, and where there is never any water. except in a vet time like this, that he thinks must have been dropped out out of the herd after he first discovered Miller's cattle on his way down.
 cheatham, who has charge of the cattle for Hooker, ayers that ho bought the cattle from NIT. MulholIand and his son-in-law, at Walnut Creek. Hon. l.. A. Stevens, who was reported to have cattle in the band, made an examination and found none be- longing to him. Mir. Powell got three head of his,
 Cheatham was arrested, and B. A. Hussey was there to bring him here for trial, but he was taken before some tribunal, on kobeas corpus, Probate Judge, perhaps, and turned loose to go on his way, rejoicing that he was not delivered into the hands ot the Philistines.

 EDrToR MINER This oasis in the Desert has been maligned and misrepressnied by more persons than can now tell. l started to-tllis place from California, and by mis- representations numerous, was induced to change my course, and landed at Prescott, beautiful and healthy town, high up in altitude, and delightful in climate, where I was tod the most abominabie stories of the climate, health, mosquitoes, side-winding rattle-snakes, etc, of Salt River. till be- lieved, verily, that this country only was fitting for Pima or other Indians; so did not even go to see the land of ague, levers, and squashes, till called here pr0fessionallv, when was happily surprised to find this valley fully as desirable place for town as expected to find it when I started here {; and l immediately made a location and moved my family here, and have never re- grettcd coming But was astonished to- day, in picking up the Arizona Enterprise, to read communication of some scribbler, dated at Phenix. saying, in the outset, that we Salt Riyerites are very happy, as barley, the legal tender here, had risen in price
 Now, Mir. Editor, our merchants have business tact enough to take barley, wheat, or any other commodity that we raise, at its cash value, as all good business men should do. But further on in his effusion he mentions the near prospect of our having paper published here, and intimates that we do not appreciate its value, nor realize its advantage to us as a County or commu- nity. Now, this is the unkindest cut of all And if our intelligence is to be judged by his opiHion of us, we are in a sorry condi- ton indeed. Now, sir, will make the assertion, without any fears of successful contradiction, that our community is com posed of men and women of as fair an ave- rage of intelligence as you will find in any new country, and have long since learned to read the papers, and appreciate their worth in any community. And I make the assertion boldly, that for fertility and pro- ductivenessof soil; salubriety of climate, ex- cellence and abundance of water, and intel ligence and sociability ofits inhabitants, no part of this Territory can even equal it; and though many of us are from Pike county, Missouri, we will soon show you County, on Salt River, not only blossoming as the rose, but blooming with the rose, fruits of all kinds and flowers of every variety. Now, if any one offers you such a libel on our beautiful Valley and its inhabitants, please decline it for want of yeracity.

RIO GRANDE MURDERS.


 II. O. Matthews, of Company c. Texas Frontier Troops, in letter, dated Ysleta Texas, Dec. 18th, to the MesiIla Indepen- dent, describes the condition in which the murdered Howard and his s'compaaions were found, and the attitude taken by the Msxi- cans toward tho Americans of Fl Paso County, Texas:
 "Ycsterday we went to San Elezario and found the bodies of the murdered men in an old well, to where they had been dragged by horses along the road from the place of their butchery. The body of Howard was much mutilated, the flesh had been cut in strips from his side and legs and taken away to be dried; his bowels were cut out, the body had no clothing on it but a shirt and sock. Mortimef's body had been ex- humed from where we had buried it. We took the remains of Howard to Fl Paso, and buried them beside his wife. The other three we buried in one grave.
 The cattle and horses belonging to Me Bride, have been taken and driven across the river, all the goods that were in Ellis etore have gone to the same place; none of these goods went through the Mexican Gus tom House, and the authorities have made no effort to stop them that we are aware of.
 The chiefs of the rioters are luxuriating with their plunder on Mexican soil, and send us messages of defiance, daily; they say that the soldiers are here toprotect them against us, and that they intend to come over and clean us out
 will say in justice to the murderedimen that Howard and Atkinson stood at their posts and acted like brave men; during our Siege, they both fought brayely; Atkinson did not lie down for three days and nights, they made themselves general favorites by their cheerful manner, and met their fate like brave gentleman fully believing that we would avenge them; and we triH. In writ ine this letter have confined myself to sim pie factsi the boys are wild, wooly, and will yet be heard from"

"OUT OF THE WoRLp."-The New York World has sent out sixty five page pam phlet of fables, wise saws and sayings, and an endless lot of ludicrous charicature pie lures, the whole constituting very reada- ble, instructive and amusing book, entitled "Out of the World.u
 The World seems to have taken its cue from the MINER, and believes there was some sense in the old superstitition, accord ing to which, every days fortune was col ored by the objects seen in the morning.
 It therefore thinks that to lay on a man s breakfast table, or on his supper tahle the night before, for that matter, a sheet full of unclean things, angry words, personal squabbies and political snites, is about as likely way of propitiating his good will as to put spiders into his coffee. As mere matter of business therefore, tho World, like the MINER endeayors to be fair with all the political and religious opinions, candid in its discussion of public questions, just to all men and up to the latest news"

CAILNe.-Much depends upon one's calling in life, and while in life we are ex- horted to make our peace, calling and elec= tion sure, in another sphere A good caller in the Stock Board is considered everything, and it is not a bad accomplishment in . farmer to be able to call hogs or cows, in a good, clear voice. Many man has teen called and bursted out on an inferior hand, and ministers are sometimes believed to have answered when others vera called to preach. But what we particularly wish to say about calling now, is. that A. l. Walsh, of Whipple Depot, is an adept in the art of calling for dances, whether of "Iifen or aDeath." His performance in that line at the late masquerade at the Post will bear out the assertion that he is very proficient, and the object of this item is to notify per- sons wishing the services of good caller, that Mr. Walsh is open for call.

Land in the Gila Valley above and below Florence, is more valuable than many of its owners, we think, are aware. 1t is naturally rich and productive with good tillage. Com pared to the surrounding market and that of Florence, this land is limited in extent. All doubt is removed as to the richness of the mines of this county, and an immense con- suming population will be required to oper- ate the mines. Thousands upon thousands of work animals in the mines will have to be fed from grain and fodder grown in the val ley. We are informed that ranchers in Pi- ma County are offered good prices for pro- duoe delivered in Globe District, and the de- mand has just begun. A little money in- vested in land above or below this town at the present moderate prices, would be we'll done, and the farmer who is willing, and knows how to operate farm anywhere near Florence or the Pioneer and Globe Districts, can surely make nice income. Think of the high prices now paid for many articles of produce in this town and in the mines, and of how many are brought from Califor- mia that should be raised here, and any one must see what fine opportunity there is here for the thrifty farmer.-[Citizen.

SPECIAL NOTICE

The recent discovery ofthe use Of glucose
and muriate Of tin, IN the adulteration Of re.
fined sugars, must necessarily produce a
revolution in the trade and consumption Of
sugar. People will not knowingly eat poison,
and, particularly not, when they can get q
pure article, and, too. at a lees price than
the adulterated goods. To meet this appa-
rent gap in our sugar trade. We have recently
purchased and now have on the way, alarge
invoice Of pure clarified New Orleans sugars,
in the original packages, which We shallsell
At 10. II and 12 pounds to the dollar.
These sugars are equal in appearance to re-
fined sugar, and to the taste much better.
and besides are pure and entirely free from
poisonous substances. We invite a careful
inspection and comparison of these sugars.
