Rioh cold Discovery.

Parties who arrived ia ts<n yesterday from the Santa Mana, 60 miles west of Prescott, bringing the gratifying intelli- gence of the discovery of very exirsordin- sry gold mine by Mr. waten formerly CD employe as tLe Tiger mine. The lode is said to be fully feet wide, and carries gold in paying quantities from ~all 10 wall. s. M. Vessels took up the north extension from the discovery and Mir Thomps0n, of Lower Kirkland, the south. Mr. Waters thinks his discovery big thing and 'ha' named it "Tbe Star and intends to de relop it thoroughly. He viii run tunnel in CD the ledge 100 feet and occasionally work ton of ore 10 find how it will pan out. If sbe;ledge is as large and rich ss described it would pay to haul the ore tc the Signal mill for treatment, as it is only 24 miles distant. The new discovery i' close io the lire separating Yayapai and Hohavs counties. Good enough. We hope slf concerned may make their fortunes.

AN INSULT TO ARIZONA WOMEN.

X correspondent in the Progress" For, ney's new paper, writing from Oakland Cal, has the following slsnderous article on the women of Arizona, who are, as general thing, as accomplished and pure as women in any of the States or Territories through out the Union:
 "The gentlemen in Arizona are in great trouble. They are rich, educated, and re- fined, and they want to get married. Her- is where the trouble occurs; there is nobody to marry them"
 "I have been importuned by these parties to find some means of expressing iheIr de- sire (when 1 reached this cIty) of opening communication with the Eastern States, so that the preponderance of women 10 men in the Eastern States might De equaIized by some of the women directing their matri- monial aspirations westward. They are sadly in need of respectable women in Ari- zons, as the females they have there are half breeds, and Indiana, and Greasers, whose moral deprayity is a hbel on the female sex There are some very wealthy New York aud New England men who have lived in Arizona for several years aud accumulated vast fortunes in mining enterprises, but whose interests are of such nature as 10 preclude the possibility of leaving there. If any cnterprisiug ladies among tine better class within the reach of your paper should deem it to their interests to give this matter their attention, they will confer favor by corresponding with me-"

SUFFERS FORT.

Gen. John A. Sutter has written the fol
 lowing to the Sacramento Society of Cali
 fornia Pioneers: "rhose guns, of whicl
 your society have two placed ct the door O.
 their hall, are not Russian guns. On mN
 arrival in California in 1889, brought three
 of the smaller guns with me from the Sand
 wich Islands. Six of the larger guns
 bought from the captain of an Italian yes sel, who was q friend of mine, and brought
 them for me from South America, and took
 them very secretly in the night on board oi
 my launch and brought them up to my fort lS4l, Some of those guns were spiked
 with rat-tail files, but my blacksmith sue ceeded in drilling them out. The guns were
 then all in good order. At that tune the fort was not far advanced. We had mount ed the guns on heavy logs, and the first sa- lute was fired with them when Captain
 Ringgold and the other officers of the ex- ploring squadron arrived to survey the Sac ramento river. am sorroy that I cannot give you the early history or the guns, but undoubtedly they have been used in the South American wars. Some other guns had bought from different vessels, among them two brass pieces, which likewise came from South America, as they had the arms of Spain. From the Russians got only one fine brass field-piece, mounted with caisson. They would not let Us have more. This was cast in St. Petersburg in 1904, and had been used in the war of 1S12 against Napoleon. After the war the government sold these guns and small arms to the Russian Ameri- can Company on the northwest coast of America lnow Alaska). When in my pos SC sion, we used this gun in the rebellion of, the native Caiifornians against our Gov ernor, General MIcheltorena. We were de- feated by treachery and desertion, and the field-piece, after having done good service, feIl into the hands eff the rebels, Castro, Alvarado and Pico. Afterward the gun fell into the hands of Fremont's battalion, when conqucring the country. Some of the men knew this cannon and called her 'Old Sut- l ter and in the battle of the Mesa, betwee1 | Stockton, etc, and the Cali ! fornlans, she had rendered great service. | After peace was restored, the Quartermastcr, | Captain Folsom, turned the gun to me as ny property. Afterward. .ihsving nred many ! salute with this piece, presented her to he Society of Pioneers, of which I am fife member. Excuse my bad writing, as ny hand is not in good condition to write. thank the members of your society for Iind remembrance."

Gold and Silver.

Arizona is fast taking the lead as a pro ducer of the precious metals. Gradually the shipments of gold and silver are be. coming larger and more numerous. There Is not now a county in the Territory but what is sending out large shipments month ly, sggregating in the ueighborheOd of 8 half million dollars or six millions per sn. nun. This, with the uuprospected condi- ton of our mines and the meagre means ai the disposal of mine owners for working their ores, We consider excellent. With the increased facilities for working ores which are promised, Arizona may safely guarantee to ship next year, in 1880, double the amount sent out in 1879. The Territory is rich in minerals, the outside world has faith In her future development and it Is reason able to expect that very soon much money will be rut into the hands of mine owners, which, with. the yield from quartz mills, plsccrs, etc, will make money plenty and fines will revive generally.

wooIen NH and Tannery.

With thousands of sheep grazing upon the mountain sides, and large bands ofcattle roaming through our valleys, the product of wool and hides m the territory isnosmall item. They are sent away to be manufac- tured into clothing, boots and shoes, at the disastrous expense of the Arizona con- sumner. This is just q little wrong and should be rectiied. Perhaps DO where can be found better locality or a more desir- able climate for the establishing of a wool en factory and tannery than right here in Prescott Every ar.icle of clothing or near ly SO, used by the citizen could be made at less expense than it can in Boston, froT the fact that rents are comparatively noth- ing, insurance out of the question, double freights avoided, against the mere one item of cheap labor in the East. If activity and energy were comb'ned this long and much ueeoed enterprise could be started and made great source of revenue to the Ter ritory and paying business for any who might embark in the industry. There are many idle mills in the States whose owners would only be tso glad to remove them to Arizona, or any where else, providing: they could make money, and we hope our friends ot the press will keep this item rolling so that it may meet the eye of some one who has unoccupied spindles.

ARIZONA QUIET.

New Mexico and Colorado are having their Indian troubles, and serious ones, too, while here in Arizona, isolated and in the center of the hunting grounds of the Ameri can rcd man we have peace. We believe that good management in the disposition of our troops by the Commander of the Depart ment, Gen. Wilcox, has much to do with the present peaceful condition of Arizona Indian affairs. While the General has dealt firmly with the sons of the forest, he has kept every promise made them, which has
 inspired them with confidence and fear. Over the borders, in New Mexico and Colo rado, we believe that somewhat vascilating policy has been adopted, and the sequence can he seen in the recent uprising, winch carried away several brave soldiers and off, cers ofthe Army. Tue. Indians are hardly to be trusted, and are liable to go out on ex- petitions of murder and theft, but if there is any one thing more than another that will keep them quiet and iu fear of the strong arm of the Government, it is in their rulers being flrm in their demands and careful to carry out their promises. Such we are sat- isied has been the policy here in Arizona, from Crook down to our present efficient Commander.

The latest news from the Indians in New Mexico under Victoria, is that they were in the mountains close to Fort Craig, travel. ling east, evidently trying to get into Dog Canyon, a stronghold of the Mescaleros. Tn the Sacramento Mountains, 70 miles south of Fort Stanton. Dog Csnyon to the Mes calero Indians Is the same as Canyon del Cheye IS to the Nayajoes-a regular fOrtii- cation, making one Indian equal to cope with ten soldiers, and if they are colorcd, twenty. It is a matter of time only when these Indians will sue for peace at the hands of Gen. Hatoh's troops.

Coop YIELD.-An average lot of ore from the Davis mine, taken from the lode across its width, which is about twenty feet, and assaYed by E. stahl, shows the ore to be worth $70 per ton. We know that the ore is fair sample of all the ledge matter, as we broke it of without regard to quality. brought it to town, and had it assayed for our own qualification. Providing the ore can be worked up to 90 per cent of its assay value, still it IS the biggest thing VIC know of There is no reason, however, why the Davis ore, with the modern improvements for milling quartz, should net be worked to ninety per cent of the assay test. We hope the company will see the propriety of at once putting a 4o-stamp mill on this valu- abe property.

News came Thursday of the successful es cape of the troops surrounded by the Utes on Milk River, Colorado. The command was reinforced and made desperate as- sault on the Indians, cutting their way out successfully. They will now recruit and organize in formidable manner, and com mence campaign in earnest against these Indian warriors. who have been quite suc- cessfa. of late in doing just about as they pleased.

REPUBLICAN ORGANIZATION.

It is proposed by the leading Republicans in the various counties, that perfect organ
 ization be made this winter. The time i:
 fast approaching when it will be the duly
 of the people of Arizona to cast their bal
 lots for Delegate to Congress in place oi
 Hon. John c. Campbell. To make a good selection, it is essential that party lines ts drawn. It would do away with the self.
 nominating system which has been so de- trimental to the Territory since its organi- zation, and at once bring to the front the very best men of either party. If the Dem
 ocrats are unable to perfect an organization, and the indications point to such as being the case, the formation of the Republican party would leave the Democrats organized. again, men nominated by the parties and elected on party issues, should they fail to do their duty, would be held responsible by the party to which they belong for any overt act, and dropped out from future sup. port, and thus corrupt and inefficient off cers who administer the affairs of out terri tory would gradually be done away with. and their places filled by honest men. We have lived long enough under the cooper
 alive rule, sectiontlism should be remem- bered as a thing of the past and never be allowed to disturb tho harmony of party interests. Our territory is large and invit- fny, presenting inducements to the outside world for investment, hardly to be found anywhere, and what is done for one section is of ben aft to the other. There is not sin gle industry or enterprise started in Ari- zoaa but what has more less bearing upon the whole territory. If tine mines ef Pima county are good, we should feel proud if such is the case, and eics rersd 1t Yavapai county possesses great wealth iu minerals and otherwise, Pima should be satisfied with the situation. It is now time to think of something else save sectionalism, and the organization in this territory, of a party that has reason to feel preud of it's ancestry, party that has governed the rreatest Republic in the known world for tbe last twenty-five years, and carried it ,sfely ovc. broken bridge and from mire If blood to the solid banks on the clear stream of prosperity. where the word fail is not known.

The Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Rail. road will be completed to the Rio Grande on or about the first of January, 1880, and should the company, which has unlimited means conclude to build on or near the 35th parallel route the road vii be completed into Arizona and perhaps to Prescott, by January i, 1881. Without railroads we are hke a people livingin Africa,-in the wilder ness, and still there are those who believe that railroad would ruin our town. This is not so. A railroad would have the effect of bringing in large emigration of gold and silver seekers who would develope at least few of the many very excellent lodes that are now idle and unproductive. It would cheapen the cost of living, and bring us into commercial and other relations with the live, energetic people of the East, who would help us become great and strong. Without railroad facilities We must take back seat and continue to be poor.

Tanning With Fur On.

Speaking of tanning with fur on, an
English writer tells the Country that he
has cats skin, pliable as kid free from
smell and the hair still elinging firmly,
which, two years ago, was dressed ac-
cording to the following recipe, which
he says is equally safe and unfailing in
such cases: Nail the fresh skin tightly
and smoothly against door keeping
the skinny side out" Next, with q
broad bladed blunt knife, scrape away
all loose pieces of flesh and fat; then
rub in much chalk, and be not sparing
of labor; when the chalk begins to
powder and fall off, take the skin down,
fill it with finely ground alum, wrap
closely together, and keep it so in q dry
place for two or three days; at the end
of that unfold it, shade out the alum
and the work is DONE
