TWO MILLIONS AND A HALF.
Gigantic Mining Sale.

The Horn Silver Mine, in Francisco Dis trict, Southern Utah, has recently been sold by its owners for $2, 500, 900. This mine was discovered about five years ago by Dennis Ryan and Mat Cullen. The lode is very large and contains an incalculable amount of low grade ore averaging $l6 per ton in silver and 34 per cent in lead.
 Jay Cooke, and brOthcr-in-lsv to Ar. Alex Majors, the old Ireigbter on the plains, purchased this mine two years ago from the original owners for $24 900, and now have sold half for $2,500,OO0. It is the purpose of the owners to stock the mine for SEQ, ,0O0, 900. It will nor be placed on any Stock Board, but sold among moneyed men, associations and sypdicates. There will be about 800, 900 shares at par value of $25 per share. The new company contemplate erecting twenty furnaces so as to produce 100 tons or base bullion per day, as the mine IS low grade, . very large amount of the Gre will have to be reduced daily. The Utah Southern Rail- road will be extended to the mine, and the smelters completed by July lst.
 Arizona has innGmerable mines of this character, and which in time will sell for just as much as the Horn Mine in Utah. We want railroad to our great mineral center which will be the means of bringing m capital and creating revolution m mining affairs generally. The development of one large mipe in Yavapai County, will be sui- icient of itself to repay the taxpayers for every cent they are called upon 10 contribute toward building Tread across our Terri tory or into our mineral districts.
 We believe in railroads and all other in- ternal improvements. and in this we may be called an admirer and advocate of that master mind and one of these far-see!ng men who has long since passed to that silvery shOre,-we mean the Hon. Thos. II. Benton, whose spirit it seems has descended from iis ethereal sphere and taken possession of some of Arizona's citizens, and imbsed them with mind and courage to advocate that, which must as 6 necessity for eur future salvation, follow-a railroad to our lovely town, surrounded by ihe waving pine forests and the silver lEed hills.

Hinsoa Thomas, Chief Clerk in the Coun cil, took his departure for the southern DOT tion of the Territory, few days since, leav- ing the Journal in an unfinished and unn- telligibe condition. It looks more like a scrap-book than any thing else that it could be compared to. MT. Thomas, it IS said, for got to go around and bid several parties who have been kind to him, an afftctionate adIeu. Secretary Gosper has secured the services of MT. B. A. FIckas, who was Chief Clerk in the House, to try and straighicn out the Journal left in ciphered condition by the handsome, genteel, honest, capable, atiectionate, temperate, virtuous young gent who was rushed into society. by force of circumstances, which he did not merit The Journal, being left in this condition, was not signed by the President of the Council, Mir Hughes of Pima County, and consequently, when fixed up, will have to be expressed to him for his signature.

Mans Age.

Few men die of old age. Almost all die of disappointment, passion. mental or bodily toil. or accident. The common expression, ''choked with passion, has little exagger- ation in it, for even though not suddenly fatal, strong passions shorten life. Strong bodied men often die young; weak men often live longer than the strong, for the strong use their strength, and the weak nave none to use. The latter take care of them selves, and the former do not. As it IS with the body so it is with the mind ana temper. The strong are apt to break, or, like a candle, to run the weak to run out. The inferior animals that live temperate lives have generally their prescribed number of years. The horse lives 25; the dog 10 or 12; the rabbit 6; the guinea-pig G or : years. These numbers all bear similar proportion to the time the animal takes to grow to its full sIZe. But man, of all the animals, is one that seldom lives this average. He ought to live 100 years, according to physical law, for times 20 is loo; but m stead of that he scarcely reaches on an average four times his growing period; the eat times, and the rabbit even 8 times the standard of measurement. The reason is obvious, man is rot only the most irregu- lar and lntemperate, but the most labori0us and hard worked of all animals. He is also the mo st irritable, and there is reason to believe, though we cannot tell what an animal secretly feels, that more than any other animal, man cherishes wrath to keep it warm, and consumes himself with the fire of his own secret reflections.

SOUTHERN PACIFIC RAILROAD.

On the l7th sf January, this important railroad enterprise had been extended to a point forty-eight miles eastward into Arizona from Yuma, It had been constructed al the rate of one and two-thirdS of a mile a day for the preceding working week. Grad ing parties are far ahead of the track layers,
 Evidently, the managers of this unGertak. ing are determined to have a Southern Pacific Railroad built, while Congress is pottering and pondering the possibilities of such highway across the Continent; one never obstructed by snow, and one that will ultimately give an outlet from New York upon the Pacific Ocean, shorter by a thou sand miles than the route opened by Union Pacific and the Central Pacitic.-Mining Record

Elsewhere we publish an article iron the New York Times, m connection witl General Fremonts famous ride from Los Angeles to Monterey and return. The article Tn the Times is substantially true with the exception of the distance, which is 475 miles between the two places, mak- ng the entire distance travelled $50 miles. The feat, we believe, has never been equaled This was over thirty years ago, when Gen. Fremont was Lieutenant Colonel of Ora. goons, and in the prime of his life. The General informs us that this trip was made by him with but little fatigue.

RUNoR.-It is currently reported that w H. Caldwell formerly in the lumber busi- ness here, and afterwards of the Caldwell & Levally stage me, between Prescott and Gillette, has heen killed somewhere in New Mexico It will be remembered that Cald- we'll & Levally became involved in debt last fall, and that the two partners, with Levally's wife apd children gathered up the stage stock. and with One stage struck out across the Mogollons. it is presumed, for Kansas Word was brought back that when they reached the railroad Mrs. Levally and children took the cars and Jeff the two men to bring on the stock. Subsequent to this, we learn, letters have been received here from Mrs. Levally. saying that her husband had arrived in Kansas. but had left Cald- we'll behind, and in the meantime a New Mexican or Colorado paper has an account of the finding of the body of w. IT. Csld- we'll, shot through the heart. We are also informed that there was bitter jealousy exiS- ting between Caldwell and Levaily ca ac- count of Mrs. Levally, and that Caldweil's relations with her were anything but agree able to Levally.

AcoLosApo rRapE CENTRE.

Fl Moro, the southern terminus of the Denver and Rio Grande Railroad, IS the sup ply point for most of';he New Mexican and much of the Arizona trade, and in which more than 2000 wagons have been engaged for years, bringing wool, hides, copper and bullion to this point for sale or shipment, and returning loaded with general merchan disn. mining machinery. freight, etc. These teams usually come in huge trains, some times numering 500 wagons or prairie schoon CTS. Millions of pouods of coal arrive here annually, and is sent East by rail, and more million pounds of merchandise goes South. The receipts of bullion here, incluaing cop per- are also very great. These come from the copper and silver bearings veins of New Mexico and Arizona. The average value of all wool arriving here is said to be about l2 cents-some being worth 20 cents ger pound. The average value of cast bound freight is perhaps 12 cents per pound, and of west and south bound material 1J cents. There are three great shipping houses and stores at Fl Moro, the main store houses of which arc 100 feet in length, by fifty feet in width, and pscekd with stocks of goods. The average amount of goods carried, on haad, must equal or exceed $l00,000 Otero, Sellers X Co.,, and Brown * ManZan- ares each sell over $l $l,000,000 worth Of goois per annum, and receive over 5,0O0, 900 pounds of freight from the East. Beside this they handle vast quantities nf goods on commission Bartes Brothers also have large stocks and do an immense business. While the forwarding, receiving and general supply business of the South will soon be transferred to Clifton, on the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway, these houses, or some of them, will continue to do bus mess at Fl Moro as heretofore. Fl Moro IS al an elevation oI j.50 feet above the sea. Mining Record
