Editors Dispatch: You say in your pa.
per, January I, 1879, that Richmond is near
ly S3,000,G00 behind in the article Of manh-
featured tobacco, compared with 1878. I
want to impress upon you the main cause Of
this, and beg your aid to remove the OBJ
struction. New \ erk and Louisville, KY,
are the two competing points for the trade
Of this place. Freight from New York is
delivered here in two days, Louisville from
two to four from Richmond and Peters
burg about ten. The Richmond and Fred
ericksburg railroad should be made to pro-
rate on freight to Quantico; the best way to
agitate the question is for you to determine.
The Chesapeake and Ohio railroad does
all 1t can to give Richmond and Petersburg
a fast-and low rate of freight, but the gap
IN their road at Huntington prevents them
from giving as fast time as Is necessary to
compete successfully with New York and
the West; and there are towns that they
cannot each-and this is one--except at a
great disadvantage. -,.s
The passenger fare is outrageous. Seven
dollars from Washington to Petersburg;

We last week called attention
to the fiippant and derogatory re-
marks of the Engineering and
Mining Journal of New York
reglrling Globe District and
some of the Tombstone mines.
Confessedly ignorant of the facts
in the case, this soi-disant mining
autocrat attempts to injure the
business of our miners in crimi-
nal manner which cannot fail
to react upon the ktterer and les
sen the credence to be given its
statements about other mat
tiers.
We called upon the Citizen and
and Silver Belt to refute these
aspersions and arc glad to notice
that the former has done so in its
issue of the 18th, and we await
the denunciatIons of the latter in
this weeks issue.

Chas. Genung of Peoples Valley, came IN

dered himself to the proper authorities
for having killed man by the name of

1t seems that there had been an old feud
between the parties, and threats upon Mr..
Genung's life had been made by the de-

left Peoples Valley yesterday morning for
Seymour, and when at point somewhere
or Antelope Hill, Mr.. Gehung, riding on IL
horse in advance of the wagon, discovered
Bear, evidently at work on the road. When
the deceased saw Genung, he jumped to

one shot taking effect in the face, and the
other in the side, from which Bear died

est Porter Is Judge of the Second
Judicial District of Arizona
These hasve been signed by all the
members of the bar, all the Coun-
ty Officials, and by all our citizens
who have as yet had an opportu-
nifty to thus express their wishes.
AS Judge Porter has been with
US now over seven years, and has
given satisfaction to all our citi-
zenS, save two soreheaded dis
turbers OF the common veal,
with whom he had the tempritv
to differ, it would seem incum-
bent upon the President to con-
slider the desires of our inhabi-
tants thus unanimously express
ed.
Experience of our laws, their
Interpretation, and just applica-
ton, render Judge Porter more fit
to preside on this bench than any
new conner could be. AS Associ-
ate Justice of the Supreme Court,
all the Counties have been pleas
ed with his action and have unit
ed in the petitions of Yuma for
his re-appointment which we
have reason to .believe to be an
assured event.

Silver District,

Several parties from San Fran.
cisco Observation-Disclosures District
with the intention of erecting a
smelling furnace with capacity
OF thirty tons per day. 1t seems
almost too much to expect of SO
young District that it shall pro
dnre daily supply of thirty tons
OF ore rich enough to pay both
miner and smelter, especially
when We remember that most of
the mines'are still ingthe hands
OF the original locators, few of the
whom possess the requisite
capital to .open up and develop
their properties TO such a state
as to he able to take advantage of
all their merits.
Economy of investment will
doubtless counsel the erection of
smaller works and beginning but,
In such manner that the capacity
can be increased in ratio with
me increasing capacity of the
mines to produce ore of a grade
to remunerate smelling. All
signs portend that soon this will
become one of Arizona's most
thriving districts, being more
favored by nature than s.some
others with the never ceasinp
supply Of water of the Colorado
river which also furnishes trans.
portation, land whose borders for
miles above and below produce
fuPl in plenty and are inhabited
by Indiansllwho furnish.s cheap
labor, and above all because of its
mines being located from three
to five miles from the river and
easily accessible.

Coming through Arizona.

A correspondent of the Cleveland Lead
er writing froms Arizona, has the follow
ing about the UtahtScuthern Railroad:
Jay Gould will build $50 miles of road south
from York. Utah. on the Utah Southern
railroad durin the present year. and will
extend his Zine. from!there to Callville on
the Colorado River, thence down the
Sacramento or. Big Sandy valleys, passing
through the rich mineral belts OF the we'll
known Arnold, Hibernia, Congress- Nc
Crackin and Hack berry silver and gold
mines-through the veryibest portion of
Arizona, to Aubrey, Landing, the head of
low-water steamboat navigation on the
Colorado River, and thence across the
sesert wastes to San Diego. A line of
river steamboats, will connect at Aubrey
with the steamship lines at the mouth of
the Colorado for all points down the Mex
can coast. as wei as down the Central
and South American west coast Gould
must do this in order to secure his pro-
portion ofsthe tradesfrom' this vast region
and to protect his Union Pacific railroad
interests, which will soon be in peril from
the connections 20 be made by the South
ern Pacific Railroad (only another name
for the Central Pacific with the Atchison,
Topeka 81 Santa Fe railroad at or near
Tucson. and the fact that the ST. Louis and
San Francisco railroad has decided to ex-
tend its line at once upon the survey of
the old Atlantic and Pacific railroad to a
connection with the Southern Central
Pacific Railroad in Arizona or New Mex

The same correspondent adds that the

Company has signed a contract to COM

Tombstone will expand like new blown

the now famous camps of the Pacific

The population of Tombstone proper is

about 1900. An appendage called Charles

Give Us u Dead Letter Office.
Sauerkrout.

Can there be any earthly reason assigned
why the people of the Pacific Coast should
not have branch Dead Letter Office es-
tablished some where on the coast? On
til" contrary, is there not every conceiva-
able reason why we should? Can there
be any sense or reason why misdirected
letter should have to be sent four thou
sand miles to Washington and back in
volving delay of not less than three
weeks, and as much more as the clerks
there are behind with their work?
These be pertinent questions. They
involve much of Importance to the peo-
pie on this coast. Especially is this 50
under the recent arbitrary ruling of the
Postma ster- General, which has covered
his administration with ridicule from which
ne will not soon emerge With Dead
Letter Office at San Francisco or Sacra-
mento, letters could be sent there, examin-
ed and returned in less than one week.
Now let us all pull! together and see if
we cannot move the fossiliferous elements
of Washington into doing the Pacific
Coast simple act of justice. If the press
of this Coast will bend their energies to
the task we believe they can do it. The
object is one that directly concerns every
business man and every one, in fact who
writes letters. It's hard job but one
tnat united effort can accomplish. Shall
we have that eftort?- Semi- Tropic.

 We have been informed that the Peck Mining Company have begun suit in the District Court against Ed. G. Peck.
 After the first of May the stages will run from Maricopa Wells to Prescott, and the station at Gila Bend be dis continued. The time from Prescott to Maricopa will be about thirty hours and the fare s25.
 Cedar Valley, Mohave county, will soon be lively place. A mill is to be built at once and several mines work ed. The leads there are among the largest and richest in Arizona.
 Late advices from Mohave county are to the effect that the Blackberry company have settled up with their principal creditors and will resume work at once. Some gentlemen from Chicago have arrived in the Park and have bought one-half interest in the Smith and Mulligan mine, and have contracted to sink shaft five hundred feet at once. It is their intention to erect ten-stamp mill in very short time. This mine is one of the most promising in the country.
