YnYuDdI Matters.

Condensed from the Arizonan of last Saturday:
 M. Goldwater, President of the Ari- zone Lottery Company, is out in an open letter to the Postmaster-General showing how lottery advertisements and mail matter unobstructedly pass through the New York, Louisville and New Orleans postofficeS, and that the mail matter of the Arizona concern is refused transmission. There is a point well taken in the letter.
 The Democratic county central committee met July 19, and perfected an organization. W. ". Hutchison was elected president and C. B. Rush, secretary, and C. B. Foster was chosen to fill vacancy on the committee.
 On the night of the 18th, the Aztlan quartz mill was burned. The destruc- ton was total. The mill consisted of pans, settlers, boilers, steam engine, etc, all of the value of $12,000. The mill belonged to the Prescott Mining Company of New York, and c. c. Bean, President, offers 5000 reward for the arrest and conviction of the person or persons who fired the prop erty.
 j. w. Robbins, who is coming to write up Arizona for the Chicago In ter-Ocean, was at St. Joseph, Little Colorado, on the 10th instant.
 Crop prospects in the northern coun- ties of the Territory are not so bad as many of our citizens think. The farm CTS of Apache county will harvest full crops, while those of Verde, Chino, Skull, Kirkland and many other val leys of thls (YavapaD county, will raise some corn, potatoes, hay, etc, etc.
 Water is rather scarce in some Pres colt wells. We say "some," because great many other wells hold large quantities of water. This stage of water has set Prescott citizens to talk ing about what might be the result of confagration, and they favor some plan by which the town shall be sup piled with an abundant supply.

Tha !" SurnrIser.

This mine is attracting attention aS one of the coming remarkable ones. It crosses Queen creek, in Pioneer Dis trict, near Picket Post. It has been recently bought by c. C. Hastings, who, correspondent says in letter of 14th inst, twill proceed to build a 4O.stamp mill and start the stream of bullion. The site for a mill is very favorable, being by the banks of Queen creek, a pretty little stream, affording a uever-failing supply of water"
 The correspondent estimates that the several shafts and tunnels already ex. pose 200 tons of ore that will yield up wards of slOO per ton. If this esti mate is correct, the mine Is correctly named.

The LsnbeLLn compnnY.

Early in 1878, one Prof. Caldwell of the East Tennessee University, was in Arizona in connection with the Isa- bella Mining Company of Globe Dis trict. He labOred hard and persist ently, with other professed ministers of the Gospel, to get adherents of the great Methodist Church of the coun- try to take the Isabella stock because the Company had generously and with a prOdigality as rare as it was suggestive, endowed the said Uniyer- sity with many shares of said stock. From the early appearance in Ari- zona, of Prof. Caldwell in this con nectiOn, the scheme was here regard ed with suspicion. The claims may be good ones, but the manipulation of the company's stock and representa- tion of its prospects did not favOrably impress people. Following is from the New York Mining Record of July 12:
 Isabella Mill and Mining Company, of Globe District, Pinal county, Ari- zona, we fear is not being developed by those who flOated the stock upon the Eastern market with such prom ises of early profitable returns upon in its shares. There is an accountability, we feel sure, to which parties can be held who can be shown to have made misrepresentatiOns about the value of mining property by which persons may have been led to purchase stock in it.

From Saturdays Daily

MR. LIONEL NJ. JACOBS, Of the firm orI. M. Jacobs & Co.,, Is to leave Tucson next Monday for San Francisco and the enst. ern cities, and. we are informed, before re. turning will make an extended tour in Europe. He may be properly termed a pioneer merchant In Tucson, and A suc. cessful one. He has given a share oftIme to public affairs, having been Territorial Treasurer, member Of the Territorial Leg. islature, Of the county board of superyI. sors, Of the Tucson city council and Of h. cal committees intrusted with imnor,ant public interests. and We believe we are stating the simple truth, in saying that in all these several capacities, he has shown himself not only nt but 8 leading man. He Is now Cashier Of the Pima County Bank. and is recognized as B prominent and successful business man throughout Arizona. The firm Of which he is a mem Der, has undergone slight changes A few times but he has been the recognized head of it through all. We presume this vaca- ton will be spent in recreation and busi- ness, but largely in recreation. We con- grstulate him on the prospect ahead. He Is not only able financially 10 do so, but is otherwise capable of enjoying the trip. He exhibits more good sense in this use Of time and means than most buslne ess men. Mir. and Mrs. Barron NJ. Jacobs will this afternoon give him a luscious dinner by way Of friendly starter" as we'll as to make the goodbye cordial.
 From Evergreen District
 John W. Davis has just returned from this district with very nice samples Of ore He brings fcur notices Of locations for rec ord for himself and Chas. A. Labaree, and four for John Otis. He has spent fifreen days out there this time and is more en- thusiastlc than after his former prospects in the same locality. The ore Is of fine grain and solid and has the appearance Of coming from immense veins, and he as sures us that they are immense. He says he has never seen such large veins and so many near together. The ore Is heavily mineralized. AS the district is but four to rive miles from where the railroad will be in actual operation in a few months, it is well worth an examination by men desir- ous Of getting cheap what bears strong ev- idence of being valuable.
 MONTHS ago THE CITIZEN noted the ef- forts Of Major R. NJ. Hall Of Washington to raise a company Of men to emigrate to Arizona. The Major called at THE CITI- ZEN office today and gave the informa- ton that he did make up a company or fifteen and all but three or four who found situations in New Mexico, are now in Ari- zona-some in Globe and some in Tomb stone. Those in Tom bstone got employ ment at once, and so far as heard from. all are pleased with their new home and the prospect before them. Major Hall Is much pleased with Tomb mbstone and what he has seen or the opportunities here. He looks like a man who will put hts shoulder 10 ,he wheel and do something 10 compel success.
