Good For Arizona.

We understand THAT at last something is
to be done to open an Arizona mine on the
Comstock principal-deep shafts and ex-
tensive underground workings. Arrange
ments have been perfected and machinery
and timber purchased to sink shaft one
thousand feet deep OH the Silver King
mine. The shaft is to be perfect work
irg shaft with three compartments, and in
every appointment is to be after the new
Requa shaft on the COmstOck The deep
est workings now in the Silver King are
less than 800 feet, where now the incline
ends. The idea is to start She shaft at the
base of the hill, and at 1000 feet drift for
the magnificent ledge making down from
the loot of the incline.
With this improvement the old King
ought to show up richer treasures than
ever before ard be able to extract them in
a safnerlikc way and up5n ar economical

A MEXICAN resident of Cali
fornia learned from an old Sono-
ranian Of the existence of a very
rich copper mine, whose ores
carry considerable gold and silver;
which had been worked, years
and years ago, by the Jesuits, ard
abandoned on account of their
departure or death. The Sono-
ranian took the Californian to the
place, which proves to be in this
County, south of the Castle Dome
mines, and within six miles Of
the Ellen GoWan copper mines.
The old shaft is to be cleaned out,
and work commenced on the mine
by company Incorporated under
the name of the "AZure King"
That's the way the story comes
to us. Not long ago we clipped
from a San Francisco paper the
following notice Of an incorpora-
ton:
"Azure King M. Co.-Arizona
and elsewhere. Capital, $10,000,-
600. Directors-B. B. Minor, J.
G. Alverado, A. G. HAYES, W. E.
Hate, H. De Venve."
Since then we have heard thai
Mr.. Michael Donohoe has come
down here, as SuperintendentanC
Assayer, and has set force 0.
men to work the mine and shiI
ore.

bridge 1t is a complete pile driver, SIM
liar to all others, but mounted on a fiat
car and set on pivot, so that its hammer
can be swung out over piles to be driven

now brIdged by temporary crib-work of

On Thursday noon the construction

wagon road, and at twelve or more miles
from here, following the rails. The track
was laid up to the mouth of the canon in
the first little hills met with on the road

was a large camp of Chinese graders,
blacksmith shop, carts, hay piles, etc.
Seeing frei rht marked e. 13." we took that
to be the number by which this camp is
designated. Here we noticed the first
gaps in the grade, and they were being
spanned by all the men that could advan-
tageously be put to work on them.
FROM here the wagon road has been
turned off into the river bottom, not

are almost sure to cut through the crust
Right at Cape Horn is another large
camp, from which there is much work tt
be done. The railroad is to be graded
around this point, on the side toward The
river, and ten or twelve feet higher thar
the wagon road. Cutting through these
points involves much blasting. They are
of gravel, it is true, but of gravel imbedeC
in Il natural cement that is harder anC
tougher than most rocks. This work i:
taking more time and powder than hat

of extensive fills to be made through this
billy section of three or four miles
Cinnamon are crowded on these, and work
with monotonOus industry that reminds
one of the ant. These men appear to hC
neither happy nor miserable; just stolit
and Indifferent. 1t Is plain that they move
dirt much more slowly than white mer

political reforms to discussy, they manage
to get in a fair days work before nigh

from which they board themselves. Les

other large camp; and short dstanc,

The first bill presented to the
Senate, at Washington, on Mon
day, was by Senator Beck: "To
provide for retiring the trade dol
lar, and for It's coinage into STAN

This bill provides that for twelve
months, after the passage of the
act, the trade dollar shall be re-
ceivable as legal tender for all
debts and demands, including
customs dues, and that those SC
received shall be coined as soon
as possible into standard silver

ARIZONA is getting to be good
customer for the foundrieS and
machine shops of San Francisco.
A friend who has been making a
visit to these institutions tells us
that, besides two roasters for c..
G. Bean, there are being made a
quartz-mill for the Tombstone
Mining Company, one for the
Tiger, one for the Stonewall
Jackson, and a great deal of other
machinery for other mines in
Arizona. He finds that our Ter
ritory is being much talked about
in San Francisco, and expects a
large immigration here next
winter.

IT is said that Gen. McComb, Of
the San Francisco Alta, felt much
disappointed when the Governor
ship of Arizona was given to Hoyt,
instead of to himself. But he
would have felt worse to have got
it, and then to have been promo
ted TO Idaho, to make room for
Gen. Fremont.

man on deck at the time, bis absence was ;

Ferguson fell into the water the schooner
was sailing rapidly before a fair wind, ana

life. One by one he Invested hlmsell Oh

more kept himself afoat, when he fortunate

feet long and q foot wide. With this sl1ght
assistance Ferguson was able TO secure
occasional breathing-speIs. and when dav-
LIGHT came he found himself out OF siSht OF
land and with no sail in hailinS distance.
Having kent his bearings in great measure,
the swimmer then struck out for shore WIN

finally, after being in the water and WITHOUT

Hundred Years Ago.

One hundred years ago not pound OF
coal, not a cubic foot OF Illuminating gas,
had been burned in this country. No iron
stoves were used. and no contrivancc for
economizing heat employed until DR.. Frank
lin invented the iron frame fireplace, which
still bears his name. All the cooking and
warming in town and country were done
by the aid of fire kindlcd in the brick oven
or Oh the hearth. Pine knots or tallow cam
dies furnished the light for the long winter
nights, and sanded floors supplied the place
OF rugs and carpets. The water used for
household purposes was drawn from deep
wells by the creaking sweep. No form OF
pump was used in this country, so far as we
can learn. until after the commencement of
the present century. There were 70 friction
matches in those early days by the aid OF
which Il fire could be easily kindled; and il
the fire ''went out upoc the hearth" over
night, and the finder was damp, so that the
sparks would not catch, the alternative was
presented of wandering through the snow a
mile or so to borrow Of a neighbor. Only
one room in any house was warm, unless
some Of the family were i'll. In all the rest
the temperature was at zero many nights in
the winter.

The rousing stories which the Green
hackers circulate through the country in
regard to the contraction OF the currency
have been so often told and so often refuted
that the operation has become tircsomc.
The Secretary of the Treasury has been be-
set with inquiry. and, finding It Impossible
to reply in detail to all inquirers, has
had photographs made, OF the com,
pound-intcrcst notes and OF the 7-30
bonds in order to show the differ
ence between the two. The latter never
circulated as currency and never was a
legal tender. The largest amount OF legal
tenders, fractional currency, and national
bank notes in circulation at the end OF any
fiscal year was 1871, 49O,9l6.17 on the 3Oth OF
June, 1874. The panic OF 1873 came on
during q period of imitation. Since that time
there has been q contraction OF paper-money
equal to ninety-two millions OF dollars. On
the other hand. there has been more than an
equivalent increase OF coin in the hands OF

THE SANITARY EFFECT OF HoUsEwoRE
UroN WoMEN.-[ Popular Science Mcnthty.l
Many of the ills and diseases prevalent
among women in our day are no doubt
traceable to the sedentary mode Of life so
common among them. The progress Of
modern industrial art has done away with
much OF the household drudgery to which
women were formerly subjected, and the
result is, in too many cases, want OF sufh-
cent occupation for needed bodily exercise.
The fruits OF this state OF things are
strikingly exhibited in certain obscrVa-
lions made by the late MIR. Robert
sou, Manchester surgeon, who in his
practice as specialist for women's dis
eases found that in women who themselves
performed all their household work there
was no trace of certain complaints; that
these complaints begin to make their appear
ance in women with one servant hecome
pronounced in women who have two SER
wants, or worse still with those who have
three servants. and SO on. He showed sta
t1stically that the deaths from childbirth
were four times greater in the case of wo-
men with four servants than those with none.
