The Hona Mine.

While there is such a boom in the
 direction of the Tombstone and Pata
 gonia Districts the majority Ot our
 citizens are not aware that very valu
 able lodges are being uncovered with
 in radius of twenty miles from Tue
 son. A few men have been working quietly in different localities west and north of town, and recent develop
 ments on certain of these claims prom
 ise rich rewards to the patient toilers.
 Prominent among these claims we
 may mention the Hope mine, situated
 about fourteen miles south of west
 from Tucson and owned by Messrs. Samuel Hughes, Edwards and Farley. The Hope hill is about 1500 feet Tn length and rises above the plain about 100 feet. Mineral was discovered and the location made about two years ago Several opening have been made on the ledge and an ore vein about three feet in width uncovered. One shaft has been sunk about twenty feet, show ing well defined wall on the west side, while the entire east side is in al body of goo ore. The width of the ledge is thirty or forty feet. An open cut is now being run, which will de termine its exact width at that point About half way up the hill a new opening is just begun, which, through the courtesy of one of the owners, itI was our privilege to examine on Fri day last. The wOrkmen were only about three feet below the surface. The ore body here was from two to three feet in width. We took a ham, mer, .stcpped.into the cut and broke out a piece of rock, which we brought into town and handed to Prof. Salazar Yesterday we received a certificate of assay from NIT. SalaZar, showing that the ore carried S930.34 in silver and s413 in gold per ton. A strike of this kind would create an excitement in my locality if the boom happened .o be in that direction. The specimen isSayed was little above the average of the ore body, but MT. Hughes ex- presses the opinion that he can already ,hip ore that will work from $400 to $500 per ton, and we have no hesita- ion in indOrsing this opinion. The Hope mine is certainly very flatter- ng prospect, and we shall.nOt be sur ,rised to hear that it has been sold at . handsome figure.

Gen. Fisk, who recently bought the one-half interest in the Mack Morris mine, has been interviewed by the re- porter of the New Jersey Standard, with the following result:
 Gen. Clinton B. Fisk, of Seabright, who for many years has been chair man of the Board of Indian Commis- sioners, has just returned from a months sojOurn among the Indian tribes in Arizona. The General re- ports all quiet among the Apaches and Arizona's mineral wealth to be mar vicious. The completion of the South ern Pacific Railroad across the Terri tory opens up an immense section of new country. Arizona is as large as New York, Pennsylvania, New Jer- sey, Delaware and Maryland. With railroads and a well developed plan of irrigating the rich valleys of the Col orado, Gila and Santa Cruz, this new Territory will afford homes for mill ions of farmers, mechanics and miners.

4 Benefit.

Jonathan Riggs prints an open let ter in the Silver Belt two and columns and a half length in which he gives His Excellency, Gen. J. H. Hammond, Indian Inspector, a benefit which no doubt he justly merits. It seems that General Riggs had made all his representations to the Indian Commis- sioner, the same being E. A. Hayt. Said Hayt neglected to take any action and therefore Mir Riggs makes his charges public. The pith of the whole matter is, that Hammond is guilty of a criminal neglect of duty, induced by interests in certain important min ing speculations. This opinion has been entertained by many people in Arizona for some time, and General Biggs' charges will be easily believed unless Hammond is able to clearly dis prove them.

N. D, Clark is President of the First
 National Bank of Ravenna, o. Last month he went to Leadville on a pleas uTe trip. While there man named Lewis made his acquaintance. Lewis, after he had known Mir. Clark for a week or so, went to him with "a pecul- jar case that he had just found. He had met on the mountains, just out of town, a young man whom he had no; seen for fifteen years. The young man had shOi rival in a love affair and struck out for the West, but now, hay ing dug up a great amount of gold, thought of returningtO his old mother in Kentucky. In order to do so the young man would have to sell some bullion. Would NIT Clark buy? MT Clark did buy a gold brick worth $l4,- 900 for $10,000 cash. MT. Clark left for Chicago, arriving in which city h found that his brick of gold was a clever compound of copper and other metals, the value being ten cents in- stead of $10,OOO.-[ Ravenna, O., Dem Ocrat.

A correspondent to the Sentinel un.
 der date of November b, says mining
 affairs are looking up in that section
 The McCrackin Companv's twenty
 stamp mill has been undergoing very thorough repairs during the past
 month, which has kept about twenty
 men employed in the mill and the
 foundry attached thereto. An entire
 new set of pan shoes and several other castings have been turned out right
 here at home. The mill will start up on the l7th of this month, but may be as late as the 2Oth before it will be
 running under full head.
 The Signal Company's ten stamp
 null Is now undergoing repairs that
 will take three or four weeks to com. plete, when it will start up on ore
 from the Signal mine. It will also do custom work, which will be a grand thing for this section, as we have here a large number of mines that will Day the owners well to work and take out ore, III case they can get it same milled.
 The creditors Of the Signal Company having finally gotten possession through the courts. Of both mill and mine, have consolidated and formed a. company under the laws of Arizona called the Peabody Consolidated. This company have made a very thorough working test of the ore from the mine, and lind that 1t can be made to pay well; hence, their present course inI putting the mill in the best possibleI running order, both of these mills will run on full time both day and night and MUhaye county will again come 10 tue front and take her proper place. as bullion producer, which but forI the bad and eXtravGgant management on the part of those who formerly hadl the control of mining matters here, she would surely never have lost. Thei darkest cloud has Silvery lining, andl surely the cloud that has hung overI the horizon of this section of MohaveI county for the past year was black enough to insure plenty of silver now, 1 and you will hear of it in the shape of bullion. The Arizona Consolidated l Gold and Silver Mining Company of New York have commenced work on their claim on the McCrackin ledge, | lying south of the McCrackIn Compa- ny's claims, considered fully as good IS any portion of the ledge and am by the Superintendent that they intend to fully develop them turing the present winter; hence, you see, with all these prospects before us, we feel as if mining matters and busi ness generally will soon boom.

Dr. Samaniego, writing to friend
 in Tucson, under date of Fl Paso, No
 vember 19, says: From your favor of just received I notice that you are also somewhat enthusiastic over the Sierra Mojada mines. There is some excitement here and much is said con corning the wonderful richness of that region, but I would advise you to re main where you are until I can give you some exact information about the mines, in order that you may be guided by a proper understanding of the situ- atiOn.
 l have again escaped from the In dians, they being in the Candelarla Mountains when I passed by with my family. We took breakfast within two miles of the place where they they were camped. Four days later sixteen men left the town of Carrisal, fifteen of whom were killed by these Indians, only one escaping. He took the news to the town and asked for aid. Forty men left immediately, but they were surprised while burying the dead and twelve killed and ten wound ed; the remainder escaped as best they could. I was at San Jose at the time and attended the wounded. Carrisal is indeed in a piiiable condition. Rod riguez and DOminguez were among the slain; in fact all the principal men are killed.
 As soon as 1 heard of the catastro- phe l sent a courier to Guadalupe and to this place. The relief party left here yesterday, after ten days delay.

Mines ID EeW Fork.

On this subject the American Ex change of New York City speaks as follows:
 The history of mining investments in New York during the past year completely refutes the statement that cheap mines are alone marketable here. In fact the tendency has been in the opposite direction, and the higher priced properties have been the most successful in securing purchasers Examples are not few oi the careful discrimination shown by investors in purchasing mining property, and Il Is extremely doubtful whether any other city and any other period can show SO large and successful ven lures in mining as the City of New York in the year 1879. A number of the mines which came into the hands of New York people within the past twelvemouth are BOW paying divI- dcnds. and as many more will be doing so ina very few months. Some mines which have been under the manage ment of New York companies only a few months are already preparing 10 pay dividends, which, beyond all req sonable doubt, will be continued regu- laTly when once begun.

Proper Precautions.

The Department Commander of New Mexico is taking some very com mendable precautions to guard against another raid by VictOrio's renegades. According to the Herald there are de- tachments of troopsa McEver's ranch, Chase's, Brockman's, Slocum's, Will Hams and Meningitis ranches and also at Borro Springs, with orders to report immediately to Fort Bayard any rumors of Indians These several de tachments would seem to be well placed.
