THE fears exptessed as to any bad eff
fects of an extra session are all bosh.
The repeal of the Federal election laws
would save very large amount of
money to the Treasury. 1t is said that
there were 1900 deputy marshas and
supervisors appointed in New York
alone, and they were paid from fifteen
to twenty dollars each and some of them
demanded pay for ten DAYS service.

THE River and Harbor bill contains
nothing for Wilmington. Wilmington
has no standing with the Radical Con-

million annually all the same to keep up
the Northern manufacturers, and enable

M6ntezuuua District.

In the range of mountains following to the southeast of Castle Dome, located about nine miles from the center of the galena district is the Montezuma District, where are located the copper mines of the Ellen Gowan Mining Company. This company has secured six different ledges, and have, within the past six months, pros pected them to such an extent as to en- courage them to make further and perma- nent developments. The gangue of the velns is quartz and calc-spar, carrying oxide and silicate of copper with gold and silver. From one of the veins some very handsome and valuable specimens have l beeen taken, showing considerable native gold attached 10 the oxide of copper. The last shipment of ore proved to be very high grade in gold, silver and copper The veins have all the characteristics of true Yelns,and being situated in the same range | of mountains as the argentiferous galena mines tend to show that the whole range
 is metal bearing, and a great inducement for the company 10 further prospect their property.
 | Considerable gold has been washed by the dry process from tie surface ground surrounding these veins,no doubt deposit ed from the decomposition Of the veins above.
 These mines, as the Castle Dome mines have the great advantage of transporta tation on account of being so close to the Colorado river and the Southern Pacific
 Railroad, being able to deliver their ore: in San Francisco markets at very low rate-Bulletin.

 Coop accounts continue to come in from the Castle Dome mines. A remarkable cave has been found in the Railroad mine. It is described al? being as large as an or dinary room, and adorned with stalactites and stala gmites which are completely en- crusted with yellow chrystals of lead mo- lybdate. This cave is at one side of the vein and is interesting as phenomenon rather than as a source of profit. The ore bodies of the mine are surpassing all ex- pectation of their extent, and already promise to afford work for many years. The Arkansaw shaft is nov down about $50 feet, in excellent ore. Work is to be resumed on the Pocohontas next Monday The Ellen Gowan Company also puts on force of men next week. This mine lies about five miles south of Castle Dome. Ii will make stir

WE have interviewed the agent here .oi the Yuma and Tucson stage line on the subject of improved accomodations for travellers, ana are gratified to find that several important changes are being made. Having ridden from Florence to Maricopa Wells in one of tie new swell-bodied coaches we can testify to their ease and comfort. These coaches are now being run on one side of the line from here to Maricopa, and on both sides from there to Florence. Next week the agent expects 10 move his office and all the stock out to the new railroad station at Gila. This rhovc will enable several four. horse teams now running from here to Gila to be moved out over the line, thus giving stock enough to draw the new coaches on both sides of the lire as far Florence, anyhow; and pos, sibly to Tucson. Travellers will then have little to complain of.

OUR people should not forget wien they go to the city to call on Uncle Harris. We hear of a great number of people being victimized in numerous dehs in San Fran- cisco that call themselves by different names-such as Uncles, and Uncle this and Uncle that. Our citizens should be sure and take a little pains and see that when purchasing that they read the name of Uncle Harris on the windows and in the stores of the two establishments of Uhcles Harris. Remember the numbers, 221 and TOP Kearney street.

CONsIDERABLE excitement has sprung up here in consequence of recent discover ies in Silver District, in thls county. Sev- eral very large lodes were located there few weeks ago, which have since been found to carry seams and bodies of ore as saying several thousand dollars per ton. These mines are about five miles from the Colorado river, following up the gulch from Duff'S old ferry. The lodes crop out boldly for long distances and are of widths varying from ten or twelve to over one hundred feet. Their gangue is quartz and black spar. The country is said to be granite and probably belongs to the pri- mary series so common in this county. Certificates of assay have lately been re- ceived, of $440O per ton from Hammond's claim; S1160 from the Nellie Kenyon. anc S144O from the claim of Chas. Thiesen ana H. M. Copeland. Thiesen is an old settler here. He came out here in 1864 on four masted schooner with Capt. Jack Mellon and others still in the country.

 THE new Picacho quartz mill was started up cn New Year day, and all its fifteen stamps were set to dropping on ere, to see how things worked. Every thing went of smoothly. It will begin next Monday to run regularly. Some 25O tons of ore are on hand at the mill, and as much more IS on dump at the mine The reserves already developed are practically inexhaustlble. A contract has been made with Mr. Clatk, of San Bernar- dino to haul 4O00 tons of ore from mine to mill at S1 80 per ton. His teanis are due here on the 10th. The quality Of the ore was fully tested by the old tive-stamp mill it work there last year; it was found to yield from SIS to $40 iE free gold. Some idea of the value ot the property maJ be gathered from the fact that MT. David Neakr refused for it the sum of $100,O00 cash, offered after examination by com potent experts.

NEW YEARS eve was celebrated by ball at the court house; the room was taste fully trimmed in red, white and blue, plen- tifully sprinkled with stars, and was thronged with beauties in gay attire. At midnight the music stopped for moment and congratulations for the,neW year were in order, fireworks were let off and the dancing resumed. The guests retired at an early hour in 1879, having danced the old year out and the new one in.
