At and About Florence.

The Gila Valley never smiled in more resplendent beauty than at pres ent. The early and later rains have caused the land to assume a garb of rich verdure. and far and near fields of grain. wheat and barley give prom ise of an abundant harvest. Last Sum mer the Gila refused to flow by Flor cnce, and agricultural interests, suf- fered thereby, in consequence of a failure in irrigation facilities, but this season there is abundance of water in the river and indications point to the fact that there will be no repititiOn in the murmUring waters which sparkle in the sunlight and coquette with the twinkling starS.-COr. to Miner.

TIE New York Tribune of May 1st, says: The Committee in charge Of the New York Exposition for 1885 have selected a plat near Port Morris, Westchester county. They find there the requisite number of acres of unoc- cunied land. necessary facilities of ap- pr6ach by water and land, and other advantages. making the spot peculiar ly eligible for the site of the great Ex- nosition. The men who are pushing this enterprise seem to be thoroughly in earnest. The act of incorporation, which Congress is to be asked to pass, is prepared, and the New York Expo sition of 1883, which will celebrate the one hundred;h anniversary of Great Britain's formal acknowledgment of American Independence, may be look ed unon as a coming reality.

4 Prescott Difficulty.

Concerning the trouble which DC
 cured in the office of the Arizona
 Miner on April 8, we have said but little for two reasons; first the ab sence of particulars, and second. the Iremoteness of the scene. We should probably say nothing now only that
 we are in receipt of personal letter from the editor of the Miner in which
 he says that the squibs published in
 THE CITIZEN concerning the affair are direct reflections on him and we deem our best explanation of those "squibs '
 is to give the particulars as we have them.
 Messrs. Joseph Carter and James Glendeuing came to Prescott on the Sth ultimo, for the purpose of having settlement with Mir. Beach for wages as herders. Mr. Carter effected a set tlement but Glendening did not, and finally he and Beach quarrelled over a bill amounting to $40, which B. claimed was an error. and which c declared was an attempt to cheat on
 B's. part. After some abusive Ian. guage on both sides G. left the office After settling with Mir Carter, B. told him tO tell c. to come back and he would settle with the -. Our cor. respondent then says; "Carter did so, lat the same time advising G. to look out for B. as he had seen him pack a club into the Miner office. Mir. c. then went to the Miner office and had mo sooner entered the door than the same was closed by an employe of the Miner office, and B. rushed upon G. with club saying: "Pll settle with you, you ." c. caught up a broomstick and warded off several blows, when the two clinched and fell. B. under and G. on top, with two office boys on top of O. After the affair had been stopped it was discovered that Glendening had received a severe bite upon the ear, and that his little finger was nearly severed at the first joint by another bite
 Concerning the charge of mayhem, the 'vrit of habeas corpus. the trial. &c., our readers are already informed. NIT. Beach in his letter to us denies the charge of mayhem, and says tine man was thrown against the side of a rough board petition and on a nail head his ear was slightly lacerated, yet in his paper of the 10th ultimo, appeared the following rather brutal item, viz: To appease wrath take q bite of fresh meat Is good" Also, i've have heard of but one fight in town today and but one cry of mur- der" Let the reader form his own conclusion.

Arizona Roiiroad Iron.

For some time, large quantities of railroad iron have been going through for the extension of the Southern Paci- fic Railroad in Arizona. Hundreds of tons pass through almost every day. In the last month at least 2,OO0 or 5000 tons must have gone through, and more continues to come every day. This will indicate a determination on the part of the Southern Pacific man. agers to push their road East very rap idly this Summer The probabilities are that the heart of Arizona will be pierced by railroad inside of year. This railroad company are not buying tEis iron to let it lie in idleness.-Reno- Gazette.

TIE Denver Tribune man inter viewed Charles Crocker, President of the Southern Pacific on the subject of the railroad. Among other things, he is represented as saying: I suppose we shall (connect with AtchiSon, To- peka & Santa Fe,) but understand, there is no agreement that we shall. Ii looks to me as if affairs are tending that way, naturally The Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe people are enter prising and are the only parties on your side that seem disposed to push ahead on their own money to meet us. They seem in earnest and we are. So it looks as if the two ends would meet. Of course I can't tell when or where. 1 cannot give any speculations. They are building and so are we. There Is a space of about GOO miles between us which is gradually growing less and less. The hot weather will probably put a stop to our operations, but we expect to push on for the present. The Central and Southern Pacific will be run entirely independent of each other, on strictly business principles. Do you think Arizona presents field worthy of your enterprise:' " Oh, yes. sir: Arizona is believed by all who have ever been there to be won- dcrfully rich in minerals; all authori- ties agree on that point"

The My Brazilian.

The Boston Advertiser of April 22 gives particulars of mining swindle in Brazil, by which a number of BOs- ton and New York capitalists were let in to q very snug amount Pro- lessor Mills. of Boston, a metallurgist of high repute and an associate of Agassiz, was some time ago employed as mining engineer by Dom Pedro. for the Brazilian government. While ex- ploring the empire the Professor was amazed by finding gold in old mounds thrown up at places where rich veins of the precios metals had been worked before. Supposing that the crude methods of working the mines years ago had not developed the large amount of gold which improved machinery would, and, acting in connection with Brazilian speculatOrs, he returned to this country and formed stock com pany, with a capital. it is said, of S400, 900, and made arrangements for shipping some machinery etc. He then went back to Brazil. and soon as certained that the lands which he had bought at large price had been "salted by the Brazilian speculators, and that the mines were practically valueless. The Professor is believed to have been deceived as much as the Americans were who acted under his advice. Estimates vary as to the amount of money sunk, placing it at from $150,000 to S200,00O or more.

He assures the Philadelphia Press that the present revolutionary experi- ment is already producing a reaction ary feeling in the South which bat few persons in the North are aware of. |" Al no period since the close of the war he adds, has the South present ed better field for the Republican party than now, provided its leaders are wise and discreet"

TIE reporter for the Silver City Her aid has interviewed Mir l.. C. Elliott, who arrived in that town last Wednes- day, from the Dragoon mountains, Arizona, bringing in numerous speci- mems of gold and silver ores for the purpose of having them assayed. Some of these specimens show free gold and others are pronounced by experts to be remarkably rich in silver. Mir. FL liott has been working in the Dragons for the past two months and says that he as well as other miners of his camp, are confident that they have permanent leads, and their ores are of surprising richness. He also states that when he passed Shakespeare, last Tuesday, he was greatly surprised at the altered that town presented. The show of life upon the streets, the blast ing in the mines which was frequent and plainly audible. the horses and other stock roaming in the vicinity, all served to show that though Ralston might be dead, Shakespeare could fair ly claim to be counted among the liy- ing.

FIVE SHELTERS

of large capacity will be put up in thi, district within the year, and 1 predic that in twelve months from this dat, there will be more bullion shipped from the Patagonia mountains thar from any other point south of Eureka Nevada
 Some fine prospects have recently been discovered near Harshaw's, which promise well, showing large bOdie, of ore on the surface that assays from 100 to 200 ounces. Then there is the Old French mine, the Blue Nose, the Alta and the American, in this locali ty, which have been sufficiently devel oped to determine their character and right to rank among the best mines Tn southeastern Arizona. In fact the en. tire district from Harshaw's camp south to the Mexican line is one com. plete net work of mineral bearing lodes, many of which will prove val uable upon being opened up. The district has not been half prospected and the judicious employment of a few thousand dollars would lay open many valuable lodes, which are now lying idle, and greatly add to the per manent wealth of the district.
 Wood and water abound all along the eastern slope of the Patagonia mountains, while in the plateau south of the old Belmont Hacienda, embrac- ing about four by six miles, is the finest body of oak, walnut, cottonwood ash and juniper timber to be found in this section of the Territory, and SC easy of access that a wagon may be driven over it almost every where without the construction of roads.
 But little has been done in the Pata- gonia District SO far this season, farth CT than the assessment work necessary to hold the mines; but there now seems to be more active movement all along the line since the news reach ed us of a probable extension of the Southern Pacific Railroad to Tucson within the next sixty days.

PatGgonfa District.


 The prospectors and mine owners of the Patagonia District have always been very modest in their statements of the vastness of its mines and its prospective value as a mining district. While ore may not assay as high as tine Tombstone, have no doubt that the average assay of ore now on the dumps in the Patagonia District would be higher than the Tombstone. The
 IMMENSE DEPOSITS OF ORE
 in this district surpass anything I have ever seen, in any of the States or Terri tories, and my prospecting experience extends over twenty years in Colorado, Utah, Idaho, Nevada, California and Arizona. There were no such depos- its at White Pine; nor could Eureka in her palmiest days make such a showing at the same depth. The ore is what is known as low grade ore though for it's class it runs very high. The common soft carbonate ore runs from 80 to 150 ounces in silver, and black feruginous galena from 70 to 100. It is nothing unusual to see ore bodies in this district of from eight to thirty feet, while there are veins of metal exposed which are full 75 feet wide. Messrs. Amesbury, Whitten and others explored the
 BELMONT MINE
 last week, and found cuts at the bot tom of the shaft, which is no feet deep, exposing a body of very fine car bonate ore thirty feet wide; this is the deepest shaft in this immediate locali- ty though there are shafts on the San Antonio, Pelican, Keystone, Silver Bell, Holland, St. Louis, Chicago, Ohio, Grasshopper and Ella, every one of which shows large deposits of ore. These are only a portion of the princi- pal mines in this district; there are many others from which I hear good accounts, many of which no doubt are equal to those above named.
 Mine owners in this district have been resting quietly "on their oars '" knowing that they have good proper ty, and waiting for the railroad to get a little nearer before beginning opera tions. But the time has now come when active operation, will begin. I have not the least doubt that from three to
