fir. carTLio's New Orchard.

Just at the lower edge of Tucson a little enterprise has been going on this Spring which has now advanced far enough tC deserve mention. Leopoldo CarrIllo, some time back, took possession of several acres or waste land then covered with the usual scrub growth of bushes, and 60 far this side of the valley, being just at the edge of the mesa, that 1t could not be irrigated by the present system Of sluices. He boldly planted lot Of fruit trees, procured from Armstrong, and then set to work to pro- vide them with water. A ditch parallel with, and close to, the mesa line, with short lateral ditches running from the main ditch into the sid @ of the mesa hill. soon filled with water, and showed that the neighborhood there was full of springs. MT Carrillo then built a stone tank about fifty feet square, and added thereto a sim pie pumping apparatus, and the thing was done. The trees have fiourished and there seems no reason why the place which was before mere alkali patch, may not In the near future be a fruitful orchard.
 AGAIN it is our privilege 10 notice the arrival fin town of another lot Of mining machinery. It is the new flfteen-stamp stamp mlll for the Corbin AItll and Min Ing Company at Tombstone. The advance teams got fin last evening. This morning came dozen more wagons with two i'm mense boilers, smoke-stack, pumps, en- zine, pans. stamps--in fact the machinery complete, which will go on at once to the proposed miIl-site on the San Pedro. Both the Tombstone and the Corbin com panies are backed by very large capital, and we have every confidence in the sue cessfnl operation of their mills, and that, too, at very early day. These compa- nies are being operated by private enter prise on most straightforward and hon. orable basis, and by practical men of large business experience. When to this Is added that large bodies Of ore are now ready for reduction at the companies mines, there can be but one conclusion as 10 the future result.
 WE note the approaching completion of Fish's new buildings on Main street, Of Hughes on Meyers street, north Of the l plaza, of SanfOrd's improvements at the | Star Corral, Of Maish & Driscoil's ad- | dition 70 the Palace Hotel, and Of block | Of rooms on Stone Avenue at Pennington | street. Taylor & Amory's corral is also l about finished, and promises 10 be the | most complete establishment of the kind l. in town. And yet. the cry is for more room; and there seems to be no way to solve the problem, ' .,Sor the town to break out in new place.
 THE railroad has many advantages, for Instance we are told that Mir Wm. c. Davis has car load of material at Mari copa shipped in the same car direct from | Troy, New York. Goods ought to come in | much better shape than when necessity required them to be reloaded on steamers and well shaken on freight wagons. Two carloads Of lumber have arrived at for Mir. sam. Hughes, and teams left Tucson this morning to bring 1t in. They will be back in about twelve days. Dur city will soon have a good supply Of pine and redwood lumber at very reason lble prices.
 ALL the shingles and lumber necessary o complete the roof and woodwork on he new Presbyterian Church, have ar- [ 'ived at Maricopa, and will be here in lbout two weeks.
