HERMosA MINE. Sent. es. ,79.

EDITOR CITIZEN: Work is being steadily prosecuted here, preparatory to erection of the company's mill, which it is expected will be in opera ton some time next February on about 1900 tons of ore, now on the dump.
 An advertisement is now posted in camp offering to receive proposals for 10000 adobes. Mr. Atkinson has nearly completed his contract for 165,- 900 bricks, designed for company's buildings. MT. A. is the gentleman who furnished brick for the Calabasas Land and Mining Company, and is a thorough workman. Two hundred thousand feet of lumber have been ordered and 20,00O feet already re ceived from the new saw-mill in the Huachucas and from the Santa Ritas. MT. Richard Hubbard is working on the 75O-feet tunnel, other work on the mine having been suspended pending erection of mill.
 Our "city" numbers thirty-five houses, tents, etc, and though no men are employed by the company. the camp is lively and traffic in whisky and merchandise Is good.
 Assessment work is going steadily on and probably fifty mines in the district are being developed. About 100 persons are located in this imme- diate vicinity, and prospectors and others in search of work arrive daily. We have two stores, presided over by Ed. Rahlston and J. W. Davis, and both are fourishing. Messrs. Holt & Waite, the pioneer saloon men here, are comfortably located and dispense large quantities of liquid comfort to the boys; they are deservedly popular with the community. MT. McBain has a connections saloon, opposite Mrs. O'Halloran's boarding house, and is we'll patronized. MT. George King keeps a good corral and stable, owns

Proof Of Mineral or HoH- Mineral Char
 Gcter Of land.

Extract from a decision of Secretary Schurz, of date April 9, 1879:
 At the outset it is proper to remark that as Lanig had made satisfactory proof the nOn-mineral character of the tract in question, prior to the com mencement of this investigation, the burden of proof is upon the parties alleging the land to be mineral. inas- much as they have assumed the affirm ative of the issue. Where lands have been withdrawn as mineral the bur den of proof is upon the person alleg- ing them them to be nOn-mineral, and applying to enter them under the laws relating to the disposal of agricultural lands; but when satisfactory non min eral proof has once been made the rule is otherwise.

General aDdthY."

It is not alone in politics that this disease manifests itself among the peO- pie of Prescott and vicinity, but in the business of every day life. Our com munity is sadly lacking in men of en- terprise-brave men who would plan and execute for the general good. The town can truly boast of having the best, finest and costliest private and public buildings in the Territory of Arizona. Our merchants have brains as well as means; our lawyers, proper ty owners, small stOrekeepers, trades men, liverymen, salOOnkeepers, etc, are sufficiently public spirited an1 in and vet all say business is dull and money scarce. Why is this thus? The answer is easy We are as yet, dependent upon large trade centres for most of our supplies. We have a foundry, but it Is not well pa trOniZed, nor are our wagon and black smith shops and other small manufac- turing establishments. With two fair printing offices in the town, business men have been known 10 send as far east as Ohio for job printing. We i'm port stoves, picks, blows, clothing, Of every kind, blankets, soap, candles, matches and scores of other things which might be manufactured at home. -T Prescott AriZonan.

From the Globe District.

\ san tranclscO gentleman, at pres
 ent in Arizona, has a correspondence
 in the Mining and Scientific Press.
 written from Globe, in which he gives
 some very favorable opinions concern
 ing that district. By the way of intro duction he says:
 l will merely state what I have
 learned by personal examination since
 my arrival, and must say, that I am surprised, for from what information I could gather at San Francisco and
 thereabouts. ] expected to find a camp
 in which the bottom lay very close to
 the surface, and of course, if I found
 a shaft of any great depth, to find the
 bottom not so rich. took great pains
 to satisfy myself as to the permanency
 of the ledge, also the amount and dual-
 lty Of the ore in the bottom, and as yet, l have got to find the first one that did not have better showing in the
 bottom than on the surface. Then an other thing l have noticed is the length of the ledges, many of them tracable for several miles in length, and the crOppings show great width. I have
 been forced to believe that deep min ing will bring to the surface large quantities of pay ore, as the surface I think has produced as rich ore as any camp discovered.
 The writer then refers in a general way to the good character of the mines, the lack of milling facilities and the struggles of the industrious and hopeful miners to hold on to and de- velop their property. In this connec- tion he says: |" I find that a great many of these men would dispose, if they could, of some of their best proper " at a reasonable price. in order to get money to develop their other pros poets; and as a general thing, the most of this property has a good showing, with shafts from 50 to 150 feet deep, and good ore from the top to the bot tom of the shaft"
 From this lie argues that some great bargains are now awaiting the advent of any capitalists brave enough to invest a reasonable amount in developments and reduction facilities. He says if some companies have failed it is be- cause they have sent a lot of men, who it seems, were good for nothing at any thing, and so, to get rid of them, ship. ped them to Arizona to spend their. money in trying to learn mining with out a teacher, and because it proved a failure in most cases, they say no use going there-nothing in it."
 In conclusion he speaks of the nat ural advantages the camp possesses for the construction of reduction works and says: I
 I hardly think ore would have to be ! hauled to exceed two miles at theI farthest, wood can be bought anywhere Ill the district at 8 per cord labor at your own prices at the present time. So, taking it altogether, 1 see no req son why ore should not be worked | here at a very reasonable price; and as a large per cent of our ore is free and quite a considerable car ries free gold, 1 am at loss to know why this camp should not command the attention of some of the mining men of the Pacific coast; and l think when it does have fair and impartial trial, that there will be brought toI light things that will be enticing to all who have capital to invest.

The EnnnfnLnS nfInua

Two fountains mingle in the tide of love Their sweet and bitter waters. with n
 sound Wherein the notes Of joy and pain are
 found, AS in low pleadIngs Of a mated dove: And o'er the banks through which tbosa
 waters move A tangled bower of diverse growth Is
 wound, Where, mixed with honeysuck.e rosy
 crowned, The cruel nightshade hangs the stream
 above. And whOso plucks the flowers Of morning
 glow Holds also in his hand the flowers of woe. Their intertwisted stems so closely meet; And whsso tastes the waters as they flow, Ere yet hls thlrstIs quenched shall hardly
 know The bitter fountains flavor from the
 sweet.

GEN. J. II. HAMMOND, L. S. Inspcc- tor of Indian Affairs, took his depar- ture this afternoon by the New Mexi- co stage line. His aim is to visit the NavajOe Agency, and thence proceed to Santa Fe, where he will confer with Gov. Wallace and Gen. Hatch on the Indian situation in that Territory, be fore proceeding to Washington. The General was much pleased with Pres colt; in fact, he said it did him good to look at SO beautiful town. After the General has made reports to the Interior Department of his tour through Arizona and New Mexico he will return to Arizona for the purpose of selecting a reservation for the Pima and Maricopa Indians. At present he thinks the Colorado River Reservation can be made suitable for these tribes. Miner, September 26.

various valuable mining and water in terests in this section and is one of the most thorough gentlemen and obliging business men living. We are anxions to have him appointed Justice of the Peace. NIT. Harry Clay has disposed of some valuable mining property here to MT. Angus Hopkins for an al. most nominal sum. The McGeary Brothers have opened butcher shop, and recently drove in sixty beeves and 100 sheep.
 Six miles south of this point, at the old Mowry works, Messrs. Allison Brothers have established themselves in business and are apparently thriv ing, this being a central point for pros pectors and good place at which to outfit.
 Messrs. Bragg & Snyder have opened an assay office there, and as many as twenty-five or thirty transients " have been there this week. Four miles south from Mowry, is the Wash 'ington Camp, where are found the largest bodies of silver producing ore in the world. say this advisedly, having consulted old '49ers who have " travelled the wide world o'er," and who all concur in pronouncing these deposits unparalleled in the history of mining, for extent and quality of ore. Most of the rock is smelling, and out .of 39O assays made, the average was $9l. The last assay, from the Ella, {" a mammoth ledge went $26S.10. Thir- teen of the principal mines, and those upon which the greatest amount of work has been done, have been pooled by their owners, and negotiations are now pending with J. P. Arey, which may result in bond being given on the property, for s2O5,OOO. The boys deserve all the good luck that may be theirs; they have worked hard and staid with their mines, some of them for eighteen months past, and all hands here hope they will make a sale. This section is wonderfully we'll watered and timbered; oak, pine, and Juniper growing everywhere. Deer are plen- ty and at rare intervals a bear is brought into camp.
 Messrs. Childs, Gallagher and Ward have several promising claims here, and are working every day"
 Tom Morgan, Bill Anderson. Mir. Walker, and MT. Tedero (High Jolly)I are developing" and the camp gives every promise of soon being one of the most active on the coast.
 Among the recent rich discoveries here, is one by MT. J. c. O'Conell, off San Francisco, and your efficient City Marshal, Mir Ike Brokaw The ledge yclept Hibernia," is some twenty feet in width, and assays S+S0.

The Sdit River Indians.

From conversations with Gen. Ham mond. Indian Department Inspector, and D. W. Jones, of Tempe, we learn that the whole number of Indians now living on Salt river above Tempe, is about 147j. Of this number, 1900 live on the north side of the river, having their own ditch, farm, etc, and 175 on the south side, at or near the farm of Mir. Jones, usually called JOnesville. Those on the south side have no ditch, but get water from the Mormon ditch, in which they have no legal interest, but are dependent for their supplies of water on the kindness of the own CTS. But if we understand the posi- tiOn Of affairs rightly, MT. Jones thinks that these Indians have some equita- Lle, or at least moral rights in the Mormon ditch; but of this we are not sufficiently informed. The American settlers on the south side of the river about Tempe, have repeatedly com plained of tresspaSses committed by Indian stock on their crops, and the defiant and insolent attitude assumed by the Indians when their stock was impounded or attempted to be inn pounded. This, of course, has already caused some bad blood and may at any time cost more.
 MT. Ludlam, Indian Agent for the Pimas and Maricopas will We under stand, live in future at or near Phenix, and will therefore have an OppOrtuni- ty to understand all about the Salt River Indians.-L Phenix EXpositor.
