 A DRY gold washer has been on exhIbi- ton at EtcheIl's blacksmith shop for sev. eral days. It is the invention of E. J Small, and promises to be a valuable aid. to placer mining in places where water Is very scarce or very far away from the diggings. It is a very light and mex pensive machine, and consists Of an ap- paratus for shaking up and blowing away the dried dust, the gravity of the gold causing it to settle down and keep it's place firmly. Its working was shown a day or two since by few experiments. Fifty two bits of gold dust varying from the size of barley-corn down to pin point, were mixed up In several pans Of dirt and then put through the washer, after which the "catch" Of the machine amounting to half a pint was washed in water, and the whole number of gold particles recovered Again the larger pieces were picked out without the aid Of any water. This machine and another will be taken to the Santa Ritas to-mor- row by MT. Small and Mes>rs. F.. Fur geson and A. V. Benthuysen. We shall await with interest. the result of their operations there.

 YESTERDAY we inadvertently omitted to notice the return Of our ex-Delegate, Hon. H. s. Stevens, from the National Capitol. MT. Stevens reached Tucson on Tuesday morning, but feeling unwell from cold, he did not make his appearance on the streets until yesterday. He is looking as though his two terms in Congress agreed with him first-rate. During four years at Washington he has shown himself an i'm partial representative, worthy of every condolences; he returns with honor and Is very welcome. We understand he will not soon desert Tucson again.

 THE parties who made the brick for the new Calabasas hotel, new propose the es- tablishment Of a brick yard near Tucson. Samples of their brick can be seen at the tin store Of Win. c. Davis, Esq. The qual- ity is good and the contractors propose to furnish parties in Tucson with any re- quired number at the iate of ten dollars per thousand. It strike; us that this is not a high price, and thegeueral introduc- ton Of brick would atd greatly to the beauty of Tucson architecture.

The dep uty was in the vault, wien suddenly the cases containing the old books and rec ords tumbled down, leaving just room enough for him to squeeze in a corner and escape Injury.
