An AncLenf Site.

Prescott is getting tired of being supposed to be mushroom town. Under the head, "An Old City," the Miner says:
 Right here, where Prescott now stands, can be tra ed the walls of an ancient city, and if we are to judge from the wearing down of mountains and the covering of earth that has al most hidden the buildings from being traced, we should say that many thou sands of years have passed and gone since the people who once inhabited a prosperous city, where now stands Prescott, the most beautiful village in Arizona, took their departure or be Icame extinct. That large and four fishing city once existed here there can be no doubt, as the evidences are proof positive and deny contradiction. Very often relics are taken from excavations OI great depth and we are inclined to believe that the former inhabitants of Arizona were curious but a some
 what civilized race. Again, the geOlo-
 gist or antiquarian have a rich field
 for study in Arizona, for 90 where you may, you are continually treading on the homes and graves of a race of whom nothing is known, other than that they lived in houses and had large buildings of worship.

THE CITIZEN.
SATURDAY.. NOVEMBER 8, 1879.
[ CiL NA TIERS.
Fridays Daily,

WE understand that NIT. Reilly, one of the directors of the Derre & Town send Mill and Mining Company and a practical mining man, who has re gently spent ten days in our mines was so well pleased with the outlook of Pima County that he has deter mined to contract for 25-stamp mill to be located in some as yet undeter mined point in Southern Arizona fol custom work.
 MR. SnvERBERG, formerly with E. ] N. Fish & Co.,, of Tucson, came in yes terday by private conveyance from Florence, where he still retains an in terest in the mercantile house of J Collingwood & Go. Mir. Silverberg left San Francisco about month age intending to spend a month in Pima and Pinal counties, in which he dls. covers great possibilities for the near future.
 MIR. A. c. RYAN has been succeeded in the proprietorship of the Cosmo- polilan Hotel by MT. Paul Marony, who took charge of the house on the 1st inst. The carpenters are now at work on some portions of the building and important repairs will be made. MT. Marony intends to make the Cos mopolitan first-class house, such as will meet the demands of the coming |" boom" We hope he will succeed.
 THERE was little fun at the Pima fore last night not exactly down on the programme. Dick Deadeye was throw ing his pedal extremities about after his usual style, when one of them en countered the front elevation of the |" Marines" and struck it so hard that the patent elastic interior was let out, to the great surprise of the Marines" and the amusement of the company.
 THE moon is late in getting up now, and pedestrians on the streets have 10 be careful. A lady last night had a very SC .ere fall into one of the artistic pits lately dug by the chain-gang.
 Fees will now be more abundant, and lower price, The chickens are re- lieved of the labor of picking up sand. They simply open their mouths and down it goes.
 BARNETT 6 BLOCKS train passed Tuc-on to day with 46,0Q0 pounds of machinery for the Derre and Town send mill at Arivaca.
 MR. W. E. GRIFFITH, of the South ern Pacific Stage Company, came up by coach today.

AMONG the parties leaving for San Francisco today were the McArthur lbrothers who own some good property near the Sonora line. They have been building roads, houses, etc, prcpara- tory to active development. MT. J. McArthur tells us that one ledge car. irics over twenty feet of ore that will average over $100 per ton. They in tend to prospect their mine thorough ly during the next three months and if developments warrant they will then contract for a 20 stamp mill.
 OUR people should not forget when they go to the city 10 call on Uncle Harris. We hear of great many be ing victimized iii numerous dens in San Francisco, that call themselves by different names-such as Uncle Harris. Uncle this and that Our citizens should be sure and take a little pains and sec that when purchasing they read the name of Uncle Harris on the window and in the store, No. 221 Kearney street, between Bush and Sut- lter.
 THE Operatic Company will present Pinafore again tonight with full or chestral accompaniment by members of the Sixth Cavalry Band. The sing CTS are all in the best trim and this performance will doubtless be the fea- ture of the week. The reserved seats were mostly taken at an early hour this afternoon and a crowded house is expected. The curtain will raise promptly at o'clock. The opera will be repeated tomorrow Sunday night.
 PASSENGERS going East via Santa Fe will be pleased to learn that the National Mail and Transportation Company have taken off the buck. boards from their line, and put on covered wagons. A decided conven. fence for travellers who mss the coaches and do not wish to lay over a day or two.
 SANTA FE claims to be the oldest city in the United States and yet il never saw hand-organ until two weeks ago today. The monkey ac compartment got LOO much alkali and died on the road.
 THE programme by the Operatic Company for next week will include Jenny Lind and Trial by Jury. The former is full of exquisite gems of music and the latter will make you laugh till you are tired. The first pre-. sentation will be on Monday evening.

WILDCATS are flocking in from all sides. Colorado has an abundant SUD- ply. The inaccessible mountains of the San Juan region seem to be one of the faverite lairs for the beast, and ir. vestors should be their guard. Nearly every gold mining district in the coun- try is furnishing specimens of the race. Our oft repeated advice is, don't touch property the value Of which is not stated specifically by competent and disintcre5 ed experts, and the title of which is certified to by unimpcach- able authority. The country is full of good mines, and none need be in haste to secure what appears excellent today for tomorrow he will have offered Oth. CTS equally desirable.-[M. and s. Press.

THE great minds East and West are wrestling with the proper definition of "boom." They think they've got it, but they don't know what it is. One philosopher says it is an "onomatope," which is expressive. Another puts it down as "as q state of affairs, busi- ness or political, in which everything is to the satisfaction of the parties in terested." We shall have the boom here very soon, and we shall all un- derStand what it is when we have to pay from 9 to 50 per cent. more for our groceries than heretofore. That's the meaning of it precisely.

IT is curious fact that mining men, if they are shown a claim where Amer lc;ns have formerly worked, but which
 is t the time abandoned, consider that it must, as d matter Of course, be no account; but mention that claim has upon it an old Mexican or Indian shaft and they eagerly conclude that there must be immense wealth there. II is hard to determine whether it is the modern or the ancient to whom they give the credit of being infallible.

considerably above q hundred. Another
marked improvement directly on the
city front is tia. Of the recent addition
to tina Marshall wharf. which now has

own dock and warehouse adjacent.
Their capacity will be much increased
by these changes. New buildings for
tho North Pacific Iron Works were
commenced yesterday. Their location
is Immediately north Of the buildings
now occupied, which have proved in
size entirely inadequate to the wants
OF the Company. Ono of these house
will be for the foundry. and some forty
feet square. and the other for the ma
chine shop. thirty by fifty feet Other
improvements are going on. but. - we
will want items quite a. badly in tho

ashamed Of any part Of it. The big
locomotive A. A. Denny is ready for
work. and will be put on the track -
soon as the road around the beach is
ready. The changes made in il consist
principally Of the substitution of larger

the substitution of six wheels Of smaller
