The Rew Electric Light.

Perhaps the most important discove-
 " of the age is that of the new electric
 light. It ha sbeen utilized to consider
 able degree in Europe and will doubt
 less soon be Tn general use in Amer lea. Our chief If inventors, Edison, promises soon 10 produce an Instru- menj by which the electric light can
 be applied with much greater simpli- city and effect than ever before. This light is much more brilliant and far less expensive than gas, and the prob ability of Its general use in the lm- mediate future has caused a great de- pression in gus stocks everywhere. THE CITIZEN office hopes to follow the suit of the London Times office which was recently lighted by the electric light, the invention adopted being that of MT. Rapieff. Six lights were kept burning in the circuit, and in the pres ence of large party of gentlemen they were blown out and instantly re lgnited automatically. The lights were lowered just the same as in the case of ordinary gas. They were put ont altogether, and each one separate

He took with him S24OO0 in gold bullion, being the re- suit of the clean up of thirty days Five hundred and forty tons of rock were crushed, yielding S47 per ton and not counting the concentrations, near ly ton of which are saved every twenty-four hours-the average assay being S200 per ton. The ores of the Golden Star mine carry very rich sul. phurets which are all saved with the Frue concentrating tables. Mir Hel- lings informs Us the mine has diYi- dends in sight for twenty years.

Express to Tombstone.

The business and travel to this new
 mining district has assumed such proportions as to warrant the establish ment of well stocked express line from Tucson to that district. MT. J. D. Kinner is the proprietor of this new line and coaches are now run regularly semi-weekly to and from the district. This will be a great accom- mediation to the miners of that section as well as 10 all parties who may wish to visit the Tombstone mines, and it is also another evidence of the constant and rapid development of our South ern country. The railroad is fast reaching over those dreary wastes which have heretofore made a trip to Arizona such gigantic undertaking. Men accustomed 10 the ease and con- forts of luxuriant homes have shrunk from taking the dreary, tedious journ- ey necessary to reach our Territory. Now that this serious obstacle is about overcome, what we want are con- forlable, rapid and reliable stage lines to our respective mining districts This will afford capitalists an oppOrtu- nifty of examining our mineral resour- ces in the least possible time and with the greatest possible ease. Two con siderations which are of much import ance with men of business and capital.

 One hundred and seventy-three h. dians, 1G0 of them women and chil- dren, arrived from Hot Springs, N. M., at San Carlos Agency on the 25th. Seventy-four bucks lelt a-foot and un- armed before rounding-up at Hot Springs, and at last accounts were still at large.

FROM the official report of the Post. office Deparment, il appears that not less than SO9, 900, 900 letters were mail cd in the United States and received from foreign countries during the fiscal year Of this number the department failed 10 deliver one in every 2o9. Aside from Germany, where the much larger proportion of registered letters sent renders comparison unfair, this is the best showing made in any country. One out of every 9l6 is not delivered in Great Britain, one out of 230 in France, and one out of 126 in Italy. In the registered letter division the ratio of loss has decreased one half compared with the preceding year.
