complains that the medicine prescribed
produces DO effect. Now the great merit
of ''HALE's HONEY OF HoREHoUND AND

developed Immediately after the first or

THE northern part OF Mohave county
will soon be as prosperous as ever. The
blackberry has resumed operations. Min
eral Park will soon follow suit, and
shortly we expect to hear that the mines
around Cerbat are being worked once
more. Cerbat has some of the best silver
and gold mines in the Territory, yet
through mismanagement they have fallen
into such bad repute that nobody will
touch them. The Cerbat "63," Franklin
and other mines in that neighborhoOd in
years past produced large amount Of
very rich ore, and should be producing
still. We look for lively times in Mohave
the coming summer.
We have been informed that party
of capitalists are about to take hold Of
some of the mines in Turkey Creek Dis
trict and develop them. We hope the re-
port is true. The ledges on Turkey Creek
are among the most promising in the
county, and we have no doubt but that
they will develop into as good mines as
any yet worked in the Territory. The
district Is as well supplied with wood and
water rs any in Arizona, and the facilities
for working ores could not be better. A
fair wagon road now runs to very near
there. Mines and machinery can be easily
transported to the very dumps. We hope
before many months have passed to see
lively times in that section.-EntelpI'iSe

TIE Southern Pacific Railway Company
are making arrangements for a grand
excursion to Maricopa Wells when the
road shall be completed to that point.
1t will be a joint San Francisco and Los
Angeles excursion. The distance be-
tween San Francisco and Maricopa is
eight hundred and ninety miles and yet the
round trip will only cost $40. The same
fare is scheduled from Stockton and Sac
ramento. From Los Angeles it will be
only $50, and sleeping cars will be includ-
ed from all points. A restaurant car will
be attached to the tram. The tickets will
be entitled "Arizona Souvenir or Pioneer
Excursion Ticket" Rates will be proper
tionate from all intermediate points.
The above appears in the Los Angeles
Herald; we have as yet seen no prospectus
of the contemplated excursion, but many
in Yuma will be interested in it.
The Arizona sentinel., 1879-03-15

We fully endorse and concur in the fol-
lowing enconiums Of Mr. Strobridge,
having had occasion to verify all that the
Los Angeles Herald says of him, to-wit:
at is small wonder that the Southern
Pacific Railway has been pushed forward
with such marvellous celebrity when it is
remembered that the work of construc-
ton has been in the hands Of Mr.. Stro-
bridge. This gentleman bears the dis
tinction of having graded more road and
laid and tied more rails in a single year,
month, week and day, than any contrac-
tor IN the wide world. He is now super
intending the labors of twelve hundred
men; he has, in his time, had ten thou
sand men under his control, and his great
est achievement was the completing of
ten miles of track in a single day. Con-
structive exploits like these do not enter
nto the domain of controversies between
the railways and the people, and they are
certainly deserving of note, as showing
to what extremes executive ability may
be carried"

POrphYrY.

Mr.. NJ. Atwood recently read O paper
before the California Academy of Sciences,
illustrating the difference between the
true rock of this name, and the so-called
"porphYry which the Comstock miner is
continually meeting in his underground
explorations, conveniently or otherwise,
to the great detriment of stockholders.
A similarly lavish use of the name oc-
ours in Arizona. No man thinks of talk
ing about mine out here without stating
that porphyry occurs on one or both
sides of it. 1t has become fashion out
here to call all the GRANTEES "sienltes,"
and to 2pply the term "porphyry" to
every rock of which the miner does not
happen to know the true name. Dana
thus briefly describes porphyry: "Arock
consisting Of a compact feldspathic base,
through which crystals of feldspar are
The crystals are of a
lighter tint than the base, and often white.
There are red, purple and green varieties,
which are highly esteemed as marbles"
The name is taken from the Greek word
" porphura," meaning purple.

We called few days since at " Hay
den's on the Rhine," or the big ditch.
Colonel Hayden has one of the busiest
country places in the Territory. His mill
is running constantly at its full capacity,
and the farmers for miles around find a
ready market at this point for all their
grain. The Colonel has recently pur-
chased sugar-mill, and it is now in run
ming order at the ferry. There is large
amount of sugar cane raised in that
vicinity, and the purchase of mill was
necessary to meet the wants of the trade
The immense water power at Hayden's
Ferry makes the milling property very
valuable, and the energy and enterprise
of Col. Hayden has won for him trade
which cannot help but increase from year
to year, as the development of the rich
agricultural district progresses.
considerable excitement is just now
being manifested over the new Papago
mining district situated about ninety
miles west of this city, and about midway
between Santa Rosa and Baboquivari, and
near the Ortega Indian village. 1t is said
the new find is rich with silver and gold.
Several assays have been made running
from S1,657 to S91 silver. H. B. Smith
and other parties left for the district few
days ago.-Iucson Star.

Mexican Railroad scheme.

The New York Tribune of March 9Th
says: 1.-THE refusal of the British bond
holders to advance capital to build rail-
road from the City of Mexico to the Pa
cifc, leaves the field clear for American
enterprise. The failure of Benitez, who
went to London recently to promote the
scheme, is traceable to the slight interest
England now has in Mexico, and 1t is OBJ
vious that the railroad system Of the
country can be developed successfully
only by concert with American lines"

A REMARKABLE fact connected with the
railroad Innovation of the Ration noun
tains is the increase in the water supply
at the base Of the mountains. A fine
spring has started in what was dry ar
royo, near the road crossing at the south
ern base of the mountains. At Boggs'
Ranch, in his seventy-two footwell, where
he had never more than ten feet Of water,
he has now steady supply of forty feet,
and is watering twice the amount of stock
he used to. The railroad company have a
fine supply of water near Willow Springs,
and only had to sink nineteen feet. Old
timers think the heavy blasting in the
mountains is the cause of the new order
of things. Quie1a Sa6e?-NeaUS and Press.

Practices Of FanaticaI
Sect i'm Northern New Mexico.

Sect i'm Northern New Mexico.
Among the people of Northern New
Mexico is fanatical sect called Peniten-
tes, whose performance during Lent in
each year are horribly disgusting. I'm
agiRing that by infiicting severe punish
ment upon themselves they may atone for
sins committed during the year, they, at
the beginning of Lent, go apart from their
fellows and up ON the mountains and in the
deep canyons, practice downright butch
cry upon themselves, cutting, lacerating
and burning their flesh, and fasting until
they fall fainting from sheer exhaustion
and loss Of blood. On Good Friday their
orgies culminate in a grand semi-public
pow-wow. They then repair to their
lodge, or council-house, and at an appoint
ed hour form in procession and march
thence TO spot on some neighboring hill
designated by a large cross. What per-
formances are enacted within their lodge
none but members of the society know,
as the profane are not admitted. When
they appear in public their costume is
more scaut than elegant, consisting Of
only pair of cotton drawers and cover
ing for the head. This last drawn down
over the face, effectually preventing re-
cOgnition. Their already emaciated backs
are then scarifed and cut with flint
knives, usually ten or twelve Sits each
side of the backbone. Each then is pro-
vided with whip or scourge made of
cactus or Spanish bayonet, which they
Lash themselves over the shoulders at
each step, the end of the scourge striking
the spots already cut and gashed with the
knives. The blood from the wounds thus
inflicted runs down and saturates the cot
ton drawers, giving the wearers a most
horrible appearance. On arriving at the
cross, if they are fortunate enough to with
stand the terrible punishment precedent
they PROSTATE themselves with their faces
upon the earth and lie exposed for hours
to the gaze of the curious crowds attract
ed by the exhibition. 1t has frequently
happend that one, more fanaticaPthan the
others, is actually crucified on these occas-
ions by being tied to the cross with raw
hide thongs, the feet, legs, arms swelling
almost to bursting by the severe strain of
supporting the weight OF the body. Many
are SAID to have died from this self torture
either before being removed from the cross
or within day or two after having been
taken down. With the progress of civ
ilization, however, this species of torture
is more and more rarely practiced, but it
is even yet no uncommon thing to see
Penitents travelling on Good Friday with
huge wooden crosses strapped to their
backs, their arms tied to the crossbar, and
spears fixed with the points resting on the
thighs, so that the flesh may be lacerated |
at any stumble or uneveness of the road |
They also walk barefoot on roads prepared |
for the purpose by being thickly strewn |
with cactus and other thorns-Santa Fe

YUMA, A. T., March 8, 1879.
1t is nearly two years since I had the
pleasure of addressing you few lines
from this apparently barren formation of
sandhills and rocks, but the predictions
then made have been so completely full
filed that feel justified in making an
other, or a series, commencing with this,
The concise and complete reports Of rail
road matters made by the SENTINEL leave

that subject, so l shall confine myself to
relating few of my observations regard
ing mining affairs.
CARGA MUOHAGHo DISTRICT
Is eighteen miles northwest from Yuma.
In company with Mr.. Henry Kearsing,
assayer for the Silver King mine, trip
was made to this solemn region. Leaving
the cars at Ogilby station, walk Of two
and half miles across the mesa brought
us to the foothills of the range, and an
other mile passed We were in the hos
pitable camp of Van Arsdale, a young
man of brains and considerable energy,
who had invested in the Carga Muchacho,
Padre and Madre mines. And here q
brief review of the discovery, history and
development Of this district may be apro-
pos. In 1862 a party of Immigrants on
the route to Los Angeles lost their mules.
Boys were sent in search of the missing
animals. Their prolonged absence caused
such uneasiness that men were dispatched
in quest of the missing muchachos.
What must have been the astonIshment Of
these men to not only find the boys, but
to see them with hands full of gold mug
gets, and cropping in the sand for more,
which they had found in a grand plateau,
where the mules had strayed to feed. The
subsequent rush of miners to this dis
trict, the millions of gold taken from this
plateau and adjacent gulches, form
chapter in the mining history Of Califor-
mia. From these same gulches few mi
ners are making more than average pay,
while occasionally lucky one, like Mad
doX, takes out few hundreds in a single
pan-of course not so often as to occa-
sion any cause for new hegira to the
district. A few
