 The Tucson Star of late date says: ""od reports come from the Santa Cata-
 ma mountains. More rich discuveries la se
 been made. The Star has always main-
 tSined that the great mining excitement of

 John Jackson, the weIl-known L,nx Cfeek'ie, Is in town today, aud called at me MINER Office. He reports all the people along The stream as belng prosperous and contented. Bays the prospcc,ors on the upper creek are going down to bed rock and piiing up the pay dirt. Two pretty severe rains have visiIed his locality. but the water did not remain in the creek long
 At last. To-day, a wan leriae son from Inc land of sunny skies, stilettos and mac. Hroni, appcared on our streets with inc veritable hand-organ of the back streets off New York, grinding cut those tunes so dear to every wanderer, .Y ankee Doodle @"Wear, | ing of the Green, etc. The boys along inc | street were all delighted, and the old f.l | 'o" money box was rapidly filling up
 Prescott ought to have Board ofIIeslth. or If the above sounds too "high-falutinr committee should be appointed to examine The back streets and alleys, and take some measures toward having them cleaned. oae man and dump cart, at SEQ per month, while It may be pretty economical. Is not the best means of preserving the health of the Village. Attention should 'lso be paid to the wells; s large majority 'i the wells we will venture to ay, have nor 'een cleaned out for over year, and by them SO long, our people are inviting disease.
 The funeral of tl.e late D. s. Lount. this !. M. was largely attended ny our citizens ] eaeraily. and especially by the oIdsr resi- eLts, who had known the deceased through u the vicissrtudes of fortune and danger : hat hedged about the early adventures. rho conquered this wilderness and added to the domain of civilization. As the ploaeers pass away, and their ola ssoclates follow them to their last earthly ssf, the reflection naturally arlscs, "If a R san die shall he live again." and the words Longtellnw seem peculiarly appropriate:
 "we see bu, dimy through the msts and vspors;
 Amid these earthly dsnfs.
 What seem to us but sad, funeral tapers
 May be heavea's distant lzmps."

Tine force of men on the Eureka an 'pper mine is soon to be increased The en en at present are pushing tunnel rapidly VI to the ledge, and the ore body is showing
