THE famous Tiger mine, Bradshaw, is
about to come to the front. A $4,000 as
sessment was collected not long ago of
which $4,000 were paid for pumping and
hosting machinery, which is to soon be
on the mine. j. II. Helm went up to
Ehrenberg on last boat to make arrange
ments for prompt transportation Of the
machinery to the mine. Another assess
ment of 81 per share is soon to be levied,
which will raise fund of 100000 for buy
ing and erecting complete mill. Then
bullion will come. Uncle William Lent
is said to control the stock, and to be con-
templating making a big Tiger deal on
dividends, as he has recently done with
B0die. Helm has been experimenting
the mine and knows all about it. He Of
fered to give the company bonds that he
would put up mill for them, perfect and
complete in every respect, if they would
let him have proceeds of the first thirty
the mine. The company sent j. Nee up
there, and he reported that Helm could
clear $4,000 if they accepted his PROPOSE
ton. The work done on the mine during
the past year has disclosed ore bodies big
and rich. The Tiger is TO be one of the
great mines Of the Pacific Coast.

The temporary outlook for MohaYe
County is not pleasant. The blackberry
quartz mill Is 10 be closed down for a
month or two, 10 secure u better supply
Of water. The proposition of bringing
water from Truxton Springs, eight miles,
in pipes, has been given up. 1t is eX-
pected that plenty of water will be found
by deepening the openings in the mine.
This work is now gong on vigorously. A
sream-pump was sent up by last boat, to
raise water now encountered in sinking.
Meanwhile the ore bodies will be opened
up and put in good shape for extraction.
The Mineral Park mill is also to be closed
for while, for needed improvements.
The Signal mill is to stand idle until har-
mony can be restored among the stock
holders. There is much dissatisfaction
among owners Of the McCrackin; and al
ready have rumors reached us of pro-
tested drafts and possible closing of the
mill, for while. We know the County
too well to consider these troubles any
thing but transient. 1t is unfortunate
that they should occur just at time when
nearly every other part of Arizona seems
to be on the highway of prosperity.

The excitement created by mining de.
veloDments in Pima County during the
past six months, and by certainty of con-
struction of the railroad, have greatly in.
creased the travel along the ella road
FOrty-five fine young mules arrived here
from California on Tuesday, for KerenS &
Griffith, stage proprietors; besides which
they have been buying large numbers OF
horses and mules in this Territory. The
fine new coaches recently imported here
by them from Concord, N. H., are to be
put upon the road in few days. Passen-
gers will then be provided with every
facility for travelling comfortably and
quickly. The stage men believe the road
is going right along.

Peculiar Accident.

Last Sunday morning, Freeman Cham
berlain, of Globe, Arizona, in returning a
ramrod into the thimbles of a shotgun,
accidently touched a pack saddle, with the
rod, which was insecurity hanging on IL
which caused it to fall, striking the ham
mer of the lock, discharged the gun, the
charge hitting his right hand, which so
lacerated it that amputation was necessary.
DR.. Maston was called and performed the
operation. The patient is doing well, and
is cheerful considering the serious charac-
ter of the nfIctiOn.-Silyer Belt

feldt. The happy couple depart immedi-

The happy couple arrived here on
Sunday, and started for Phoenix and the
Golden Star quartz mill the next day, by
stage. Mr.. Hellings had an elegant cov-
cred carriage here, but preferred to go by
stage, to save time His new mill will
begin to crush ore soon after his arrival,
and, as large quantity of rich quartz has
been accumulated for it, we can soon look
for bullion.

Bullion shipments
Total. ....................S91,1SS

Three bars lost by the stage robbery,
worth perhaps 81 800, and shipment of
110 sacks rich silver ore from Hardyvillc
would, if included, bring the total up to
the weekly average of 100000 The Sill
yer King concentrations are valued on the
basis of proceeds of last shipments heard
from. OF late the Eldorado mill has been
shipping most of its bullion via Phoebe.

The Live Arizona Railroad.

The Southern Pacific Railroad
Company, incorporated under the
laws of Arizona, has perfected it's
organization, and has already be-
gun the work Of constructing its
road across this Territory. A
meeting of the incorporators was
held here on Tuesday, at which
all the stock was subscribed for.
a stockholders meeting was then
held, at which the following Di-
rectors were elected: d. d. Col
ton, A. p. X. Stafford, G. F.
Croker. George Tying and Chas.
Hudson. ID. d. Cotton was elect
ed President; A. P. X. Stafford,
Vice President; F. S. Douty,
Treasurer; II. NJ. Wright, Sec
rotary; Geo. E. Gray, Chief
Engineer; w. Hood, Asst. Chief
Engineer. 1t was intended that
Mr.. David Neahr, of Yuma,
should serve as a Director; but
severe injuries lately received by
him made it impossible for him
to participate in the organization
of the company and transaction
of its business. To expedite a
matter of SO much importance to
Arizona, Mr.. George Tying, also
of Yuma, consented to act tenn
porarily in Mr.. Neahr's place.
Carefully prepared maps were
submitted, and a route was
adopted from Yuma eastward as
far as a point nearly south of and
near Maricopa Wells. A large
force of surveyors and assistants,
under Asst. Chief Engineer Hood,
IS now in Pima County, with
headquarters at Tucson, survey
ing and mapping lines eastward
from the end OF that part of the
route already adopted.
A Committee of Directors was
empowered to make contracts fol-
construction, and the entire tenor
Of business transacted by the Di-
rectors indicates prompt and ener-
getic pushing of the road. The
apparent purpose of the company
is to construct the road as far as
Maricopa Wells this winter, and
beyond if possible.
We have reason to believe that
some contracts for construction
and for delivery of material have
already been made, and that more
are to follow as rapidly as consis-
tent with the interests of the
company. The first instalment
of material arrived here on Thurs
day morning about one o'clock,
1t comprised fifteen carloads
each consisting of $50 ties. An
other train-load arrived yester.
day, and one is to arrive daily
besides such material as is tC
come by regular trains, whenever
practicable. Grading parties are
organized and will soon be Oh the
ground. Plenty of money for pre-
sent uses has been secured, anC
plentiful supplies of more as re-
quired, have been provided for
Every indication now points t.
a speedy construction of the rail
road which is to do so much fol
Arizona. Late mining develop
ments in Pima County already
give ample evidence of tina
County's ability, alone, to afforC
profitable traffic to the new road
and, of themselves are suficien
inducement for its construction
Other parts of the Territory vii
also be opened to development b.
it, and thus will great benefits b.
reciprocally conferred.
Since it became an Arizona con
Germ this company has displaye'
a vigorous vitality and energ.
that the Territory may well fee
proud of.

The Earliest Suggestion of the 10
connective.

As early a. 1853, Dr.. II ,bison, who
WAS at the time graduate OF the Uni
versity Of Glasgow, and All applicant for
All assistant pIoIessorship there, and who
had made the acquaintance OF the in-
strument. maker, James Wat, when
visiting the work shop, called the atten-
ton of the latter, who Was probably then
more ignorant of the principles of the
steam en CINE than was the young student,
to the possibilities of constructing u
carriage driven by a steam-engine, thus,
perhaps, setting in operation that train
of thoughtful experiment which finally
earned for Watt his splendid fame.
Watt, at u very early period, proposed
to apply his engine to locomotion, and
cSmtem plated using either non-con-
densing engine, or an air.surtace con-
denser. He actually included the To-
connective. engine in his patent OF 1854,
and bis assistant, Murdoch, in the same
year, made working model locomotive
which was capable Of running at
rapid rate.
This model, now deposited in the
Patent Museum, at South kensington,
London, had a tiue. boiler and ''grass-
hopper" engine. Its steam-cylinder was
three quarters of an inch in diameter,
and had two inches stroke Of piston
The driving wheels were nine and hall
inches in diameter. 1t is reported t.
have run elk to eight miles an hour, it,
little driving wheels making from two
hundred to two hundred and seventy five
revolutions per minute.-Populdr Sciene

The Telephone for Military Purposes.

Experiments are being carried Oh in
Prussia by order of the German mill.
tary authorities, to determine how far il
may be practicable to apply the tele-
phone for military purposes. One of the
instruments has been arranged by the
railway regiment ON the exercising
ground near Berlin; but, as yet, the re-
suits obtained have not been altogether
satisfactory. With the stations only d
few thousand PAGES apart it is found ex-
tremely difficult, and ut times when the
conditions are unfavorabie, altogether
impossible to carry ON = conversation
1t is expected, how ever, that when some
suggested Improvements in the appara,u
have been carried out the telephone will
work in much more satisfactory man.

to the more extended employ mont Of the
