 THE stage from Casa Grande came in this morning a few minutes after ten.

 There is over 10000 pounds of blue stone at Casa Grande for our mills on the San Pedro.
 MR WooDMAN has another car load of California pine lumber at Casa Grande for his new lumber yard on Camp street.
 SOME one remarked this morning that Ohnesorgen & Walkers coaches with their stunning loads and daisy time were assuming quite old time stage airs. Correct.
 MR. O. BUcKALEw has the contract for hauling the new Baldwin mill to Globe City. Mr. B. says this mill is quite as large as the Contention mill. Good enough.
 MIR. A. T. ABBOTT has returned from Globe, and confirms the state ments of encouraging developments and rapid progress in that District, all which were given in detail in the cor respondence published in TIE CITI- ZEN last week.
 OS Friday evening at Levin,s Hall, Tom Casselli (Dick Deadeye) will take farewell Benefit. It will be his last appearance here, on which occa- sion he will, with the assistance of several of the Pinafore Company and local talent, give one of the most amusing programmes of the season.
 MR MARK MCDONALD, a prominent mining man of San Francisco, and for long time President of the Stock Board, arrived in Tucson by yester- days coach, and left this morning for Tombstone, where he has some boom ing prospects. Since the Comstock isl declining, Arizona is bound to have her day.
 WE had pleasant call this morning from Mir. Joseph Knotts, of Council Bluffs, and MT H. White, of Red Oak, Iowa, the latter gentleman having min ing interests in Arizona that he is here to examine. MT. Kuotts is the organ izer of a company now operating sue cessfully in the mines at Paral, Chi huahua, Mexico, but deeming Arizona more accessible and better field for general operations, he is now here to examine with a view to change of base. Both these gentlemen represent influence and capital, and are here for legitimate business. They say theyI want no mines that will not pay to work, as they will have nothing to do with stock speculations. This is just the class of men Arizoua needs, and we trust our visitors will find enough metal of sufficiently high grade in Ar izona to satisfy them that this is the land they long have sought.
 Usefu Invention.
 Pima county is constantly producing evidences of the greatness of her native resources and the energyl and intelligence of her people. Last, but not least, we have a very useful invention shown to us this morning by MT. Chas. Simmons, ma chinist at the Warren mill, just across the valley from Tucson. The model represents a new and improved mill spindle and driving apparatus for the same, which will prevent all friction and tentional strain on the spindle when in motion and so preserve theI perpendicular of the spindle and al low the runner to revolve at all times with great accuracy. The spindle is hollow and is fitted with a revolvingl suction fan which causes a current of air to pass through the spindle, from bottom to top, thus keeping the spindle cool and also preventing thel stones and flour from heating while grinding, thus producing a superior quality of four.
 The model is a neat and ingenious arrangement, and was forwarded to- day to Messrs. Mum & Co.,, of New York City, through whom Mir. Sim mons hopes to receive letters of patent. We wish complete success to MT. s. in his undertaking, and the greatest de gree of usefulness to his invention.
