TIE CITIZEN
FEBRUARY 2s. 1879.
San XaUer Hines.

Some days ago we had the pleasure of trip to these mines in company with c. P. Sykes, the manager of the San Xavier Mining Company. The distance is about eighteen miles south from Tucson. The ledge is very wide perhaps will average thirty feet-and the ore body seems to extend the en- tire width The Calabasas Land and Mining Company own one mine on this ledge and the San Xavier Com pany, own three claims. Ashatt Was sunk on one claim last fall by Super intendent White, over 100 feet deep, and runs through ore the entire depth. The assays average about $90 per ton-
 The present developments are under the excellent management Of Superin- tendent Ben. Williams, young man of ability and energy, and who under stands his business. MT Williams is at present engaged in sinking what is called the Union Shaft, which is exact ly on line dividing the claims of the respective companies When we were at the mine this shaft was down 7G feet, and is, by large odds, the best working shaft we have seen in Arizo- na. Ten seis of heavy pine tim bers had been put down, and the lag giug was sawed lumber, and plumb line let down the shaft showed il jn be entirely perpendicular. The Following extract from Superintenda ant Williams letter 10 the San Francisco office, un- der date of February 9, will give some idea of the class or ore found in this shaft:
 Since my last repor, made, last week. we have made good progress i. sInk- ing Union shaft" having aided II feet during the ek. We put in one set of Iimbers. The ground passed through was limestone, breaking well Yesterday morning in \. E. conner of shaft, seam of rich ore several inches wide was uncovered. Samples of ore taken from the dump of Union shalt assay as follows: S16j.jj, S2. .SjO.jO $663.1S, S29601, S4l50S S391S2. per ton silver and averaging e per cent lead. l expect timbers for h ls,ing works on from the Mills this week and Ihe hoisling gear sill trust meet with no delay en route from Yuma to the mines"
 It is proper to state here that the Union shaft is not sunk -on the ledge, but as the ledge dips south it Is expect ed 10 strike it al the deDth of 100 feet, The assays referred to in the Superin- tendents letter were made from seams running into the main ledge 4Ir Williams was in town early his week and informed us that he was then down 5 feet Last week much time was taken up in putting in more tim bers. The shaft is now umbered 73 feet At depth of 100 feet the super intendcnt will run drifts and crosscuts, : then another 100 fee, will be sunk and | more drifting and crosscuts. And if the prospects al a depth Of 800 feet warrant the outlay, the company will !. then put up reduction works on the Santa Cruz. about eigh, miles distant from the mines
 We are pleased with the modest and systematic manner m which the com pany are working and it will be our pleasure to record future developments, trusting that the hopes of the compa- ny may yet be realized.

Influence Of Christianity Oh
Legislation.
BY EN-Gov. REYNOLDS.

No intelligent student of the histo-
ry of Jurisprudence can have failed to
notice, that IN the progress of law in
all heather nations however great,
their advancement in letters, the SCI
ences and the arts. Legislation takes
but feeble steps forward, or none at
all, in many departments which re-
ceive the closest attention from every
christian government. Nor is this
true only of nations afflicted by tue
superstitions of a gross and sensu41
idolatry; the assertion applies viii
more or less justice TO the followers
of the merely intellectual systems Of
Confucius as we'll as to the polished
worshipers of Jupiter or of Isis or
Osiris, the millions who submit to
the rule of the Brahmens, the fanati-
cal followers Of Mahomet and the re-
markable race which confounded the
material with the spiritual and wor-
SHIPPED fire as the emblem Of divine
purity.
Possibly the most conspicuous of
the departments alluded to is that
which relates to the poor and those
i'll in body or mind. In every coun-
try ruled by christians we find that
the government itself considers one
of it's most important duties to be the
care OF the poor, the sick and the in
sane, and in more recent times the
blind, the deaf and dumb and even
in some lands drunkards have be-
come wards of the state.
In ancient Greece and Rome and IN
the wide domain Of the Roman EN-
pire before tenets of christianity be-
gan silently to influence even its pa
gan legislation, we look in vain for
any trace of interest taken by gov
ernment as such, in the welfare OF
anv of these unfortunates. Shrewd
speculators in the slave trade or great
landed proprietors here and there
have seen profit in caring for the
health of their dependents as fully as
for that of their cattle and dogs. The
numerous sodallties of heathendom
may possibly have mingled with their
religious or social obligations, vcca-
s;onal charities to their own members.
Around a popular temple of Escu-
lapius the sick in body or mind would
take up their abodes and enrich It's
priests by their gifts. But nowhere
do we find any distinct trace OF any
thing at all resembling either Pm
vate or public hospital, aid the here, ,
ditary physicians themselves, VINO 1s,
pesneo,e'dl pr more claim upon private gratitude,
M dian we can now admit 70 Ihe wen =
lea hoteI T at fashionable watering paaee
lasgs Id geasoh to have left the poor and md the the
siss ssss to their ates, trusting +, for the the
Iaapwinian doctrine Of '.the sufvisae
Of the strongest.
