We see by the New Mexico journals that two surveying parties are now in the field examining the most feasible route for ex- tending the A.

One party are running survey through from the terminus to Tecolote, San Jose, Apache Canyon, and thence on to Galistio, ana 50 CD 10 TijerEs Canyon, strik- jag the Rio Graaae at AlDufquerque, while the other party are running farther south, taking in Anion Chico, passing through Canyon Blanco, and gaining the plain oi fbe Grand Cavrs that extends 10 the RIo Graade, throush Abo Pass, 75 miles below Alburqnerque-

ARIZONA COPPER MINE.
A Large Lead Near Prescott

Probably the most extensivs copper de- pos;t in this Territory, if not on the coast. i. ihe Eureka. situate in the Black Hills, about 2S miles northeast from the town Of Prescott. The lead was discovered by two prospectors, Mess. Rutfner aud Hite, in the year 1875 or 1876; they being uRabls 10 handle property of the magnitude of the Eureka, sold it to A. D.

 The country is level within five miles of this niamRsOtA deposit, and with the exPen- diture of few 'hOpssnd dollars an excel lent road can be made to .be mine. Water and wood are convenient to tIsis property ma ing it available ts work the ore at tEe mine Win the great amount of ore m sight, the convenieaces for working the raw material cheaply, there is 10 reason why ten thous and pounds of rcaned copper bars should not be shipped daily.

With copper at ifs present value. there Is not the slightest doubt but what Messrs. Richards X Head have tls best mining property in Arizona.

SAD NEws.-Assistaat Secretary Adder son, who came up last evening from Chino Valley, brought the sad news that little George Banghart had probably been killed by lightning. On Wednesday evening git- tie George sadd.ed horse and went out i'm to the h Ills for the purpose of driving in the cows, as was his usual custom, out failed to return. When he left home, heavy clouds were visible in the direction he went, from which came delugc of water accompanied by fierce lightning and heavy thunder As he did not return that night, search was in stituted by daylight the next morning, but up to last night nothing had been heard of the boy or horse. Many theories ale ad- vanced as to his whereabouts, some being of the opinion that he got lost, others that he has gone away from home, while others think that he was killed, together with his horse, by lightning. The people of Pres colt are impatient to learn the facts as to what has become of him and hope that he may be safe and eventually returned to his father and mother.

rears in the mans pay, our breast swells
with emotion while we contemplate up
on the overpowering gratitude of the
Christian nation under the benign sway
Of her Most Gracious Majesty the Queen
of Great Britain and Ireland and EN-.
press of India. We feel just like for
saking father and mother, sisters, broth
ers, and our maiden aunt, and cleaving
into suit Of badlv.ftting raiment,
gun, harversack, knapsack, canteen,
and ten or dozen pounds OF other per-
sonal baggage, and after wallowing for
years in mud and mire. and going
through fire and water, lay down our
life for that great nation aforesaid, glad
~ giving our last cent to pay for the
funeral vouchsafed to lis by our CRATE

Russian Students III Revolt.

The continual fCud between the gov
eminent and the whole student class in
Russia, and the severity which the Off
cials have displayed in dealing with the
difficulties at the universities are, says
the Petersburg correspondent of the
London Daily Telegraph, now producing
their natural results. The students
beng the weaker party are succumb-
ing, but their submission Is under pro.
test, and takes the only possible legal
form of retiring from the establishments
the system of management of which
meets their strong disapproval. They
claim certain freedom in education,
the right of making complaints and Pc
titioning the authorities, and in certain
instances they have clamored for the
dismissal of professors whom they de-
clare to be thoroughly incompetent,
and who, belonging to the old conserva-
tive school, have received and main
tanned their appointments through fa-
voritism and protection. These de-
mands on the part OF the students, and
their occasional active demonstrations
against the authorities, have been met
by wholesale explosions from the uni
versities, imprisonment and exile, and,
finally, by the proclamation OF new ac-
ademical regulations, whereby any
faint appearances OF liberty which pre-
viouslv existed have been completely
swept away. Besides TIE discomfort
produced by these measures among the
present students, they have not been
without their effect in preventing the
appearance of fresh candidates for en-
trance into the universities. Youths of
Independent spirit, who are in posi-
ton to decide on the matter for them
selves, will not enter the establishments
where the course of instruction is SO
limited and hampered, where personal
liberty is interfored with, and where
the smallest display of liberal tenden-
the displeasure of the authorities, even
if it does not lead to much more seri-
GUS results. On the other hand, the
continued disturbances at the UNIVERSE
ties, and the sad fate which has befallen
so many of the students, have excited
the fears of all anxious parents, and to
permit the entrance OF son into
university is now considered danger
Gus experiment. Thus the whole sys-
TEN Of university education in Russia
has received check from which il will
not readily recover, and as a striking
example it is announced that only
thrty.six youths have entered tor the
next term at Odessa, where formerly
the number always exceeded two hum
dred.

A LONDON telegram of the 18th says
that during the last week 800 tons Of iron
have been shipped from the River Tees

have hitherto consisted almost exclusive
ly of Cleveland pig iron, but 500 tons Of
puddled bars arc included. The orders
now executing amount to $4,000 tons Of

others for scrap j IN and steel. The re-

ate a general revolt throughout all Rus
