An Old Firm Under the New Title of
George Benz e. Co.

An Old Firm Under the New Title of
George Benz & Co.
The extensive and extending business of the
old and familiar firm of Geo. Benz, successor
to Benz 81 Becht, has become so massive that
the tax upon the physical powers of one person
in its management, has proved to be a serious
and weighty responsibility. Hence, it has be-
come an obligation upon Mr.. Benz that he be
partially relieved from the constant demanp
upon his physical energies. And it is our
pleasure to announce to the public that on the
LIST of January, 1881, the following we'll known
gentlemen will become associated with Mr.
Benz in his business, under the firm name of
Geo. Benz & Co.: Mr.. John Haggenmiller and
Mr.. VIM. F. Hachmann. Mr.. Haggenmiller,
late senior partner in the house Of Hagen
miller 81 Kuhl is an old resident of this city,
Familiarity known to the business men of the
city and State. He brings to the house
thorough knowledge of the business, and will
give his undivided attention to the interests of
the new firm. Mr.. Hachmann has long been
the faithful and trusted travelling agent of
Benz 81 Becht and Geo. Benz and no business
man is better known to the trade nor more gen.
orally respected and deservedly popular than
the gentlemanly Junior partner of Geo. Benz
81 Co. This combination of business talent
promises energy, activity and solidity. The
| immense facilities of this house will be ac-
| lively exercised in the expansion and extension
| of their already colossal business. With the
new forces in power, the whole strength of so
powerful combination will be felt to the ex-
tremest point of the Northwest, and we pre-
dict for the new firm of Geo. Benz e. Co., a
business future which shall crown them with
honor, and prove in the highest degree emil
nently successful.

Powell EscdpeS.

Another act in the case of Charles
 Powell who was convicted at the last term of our District Court of the kill ing of Jesus Chavez, was performed at Prescott las, Saturday night. Pending his appeal to the Supreme Court, Pow .eI made application to Judge French for release on bail, which was denled. Then, though it was within a few days of the time when his appeal would be heard, he applied to Judge Silent, as q Justice of the Supreme Court, for a writ of habeas corpus. The writ was granted and Powell was sent of to Prescott under the charge of James Speedy as deputy sheriff, at what ex- pense to the Territory may be imagin- ed. Speedy arrived with his prisoner safely, and the application for bail was denied. Then was to come the hearing on the appeal, and probably NIT. Pow ell and his friends concluded that his chances were growing too small for comfort and he accordingly did as set forth Tn the following dispatch:
 PRESCOTT, January II, Charles A. Shibell, Sheriff, Tucson Powell es- capped last night about eight or nine o'clock. He asked to see his attorneys on his appeal for new trial, and thus made his escape, and is gone to New Mexico via Apache, on horseback and is well armed Telegraph 10 Apache Will send the particulars by mail. SOI much for no irons. JAS. SPEEDY.
 In connection with this escape W, note that this criminals friends in Tucson have openly declared their Tn tention, from the start, that they would prevent his punishment in some way that after dark he was taken to hls al torneys' office without irons, in singu lar contrast to the rules which prevai here, not to allow the prisoner to SC, anyone after night and to keep pri> oners of any importance irOned ali tn, time; that Powell escaped from tho very presence of his attorneys; an, that he was furnished a horse am arms in the town of Prescott. If tho Supreme Court does not notice sucL a fragrant contempt, most surely w' shall be greatly surprised.

The Star Contracts.

CHICAGO, January 9.-A Times Washington correspondent again criti cises the Star route management this morning, and holds Brady to account ability. He says the route firm Fort Worth to Fort Yuma is a sample of Brady's methods in conducting the Star service. In July, 1878, this route was let at $134,OOO, and on August ,, Brady issued an order for faster service md allowed the contractor S165 900 additional compensation. The qu>s- ion naturally suggested is, why dId not Brady advertise for the full meas ure of the service necessary, instead of $lG5,OOO to the contractors $ price within five weeks from the date of the making of the contract?

Messrs. Fish, WassOn and Abbott re- turned yesterday from few days in SpectiOn of some of the mines near Harshaw Camp, and Wm. $. Edwards. Esq. of the Harshaw Mining Com panv, came in with them. MT. Fisl and Mir. Wasson went on pubic busi- n .ss and Mir Abbott to inspect the Hardshcll, Trench and other mines, and we are informed he is much pleas ed with the district generally and rath- CT think he is with the mines named. MT. Wasson took a nasty look at the Hardshell, Salvador, Little Chap, Her mosa, routes for roads, mIll-sites, etc, and says the district is one of great promise; that these and some other claims are embraced within an area Of about 2OOO by 4OCO feet, and that judg- ed by the developments made this area contains as much mineral as any equal extent of ground he ever saw {; that the Harshaw Company have not exaggerated the value of their prop erty, provided the ore is as rich as represented and on this point NIT. Ed wards is satisfied they are correct; that the facilities for working are highly favorable as respects wood, water, eli mate, etc, and that from what he heard he is convinced the Harshaw Company is vigorously preparing to put up 20 stamp mill, and that it will be done very soon.
 Everybody out that way is cheerful. Harshaw camp is now quite business town, and new buildings are going up, some of which are 10 be of fine qual- itv of stone found in abundance hug ging both sides of the town. One large kiln of brick has been made and some hundreds of tons of lime will soon be burned, and other material for build ing is accommodating.

The Snnnrn RniLrond.

Advices from Guaymas of the 2d inst, confirm the report that on the 18th of December the Mexican Con gress confirmed the charter of the So nora railroad. This action has been deslred for some years past and is ex- actly what was needed to place the company on a stable basis and make the franchise secure as an investment. The greatest difficulty in the way ofthe projected road to Guaymas has now been removed and we may expect rap id progress hereafter in its manage ment. It IS reported generally, how ever, that the road will run from Quay mas in a direct line to Fl Paso, and there make connection with the roads running north, east and west across Texas, New Mexico and Arizona.
 Chief Engineer Schyler and MT. Morley, Engireer of the AtchisOn, Topeka and Santa Fe road, as our readers are already aware, have been been at Guaymas and vicinity for some time back. The Congress has also relet the hints at CulIcaru, AlamOS and Hermosillo to Robert R. Syman & Co.,, for five years more.
 These acts are heralded throughout Sonora as the harbingers of good time coming. and certainly it does seem that with the influx of capital and industry necessary to build rail road that may divert large part of the traffic of the southwest, the many reputed resources of that rich State will be made to come to the front.

THE business in Maine is getting too hot. and the Odor from there is deci- dedly nauseating. We move that the United States secede from Maine, and that the whole State be lowed into the middle of the Atlantic, and there disin. fected. America is too small for such an extensive row. Gen. Chamberlain Is a great warrior. He was twice left for dead on battle fields of the late un- pleasantness; and he still keeps the big brown horse he uSed to ride then. Doubtless he wants to get shot again, and will not hesitate to bring on war for.that purpose alone.

LonofeHoW Hne, Clifton.

The report recently published that Mir. Henry LesinsKy had sold his in terest in the Longfellow copper mine, is pronounced untrue by that gentle man. The fact that after several years spent in opening up the property large operations were necessary to place it upon its present admirable basis, dur ing which time he was constantly at Clifton, separated from his family, and Mr. Lesinsky now going east to place his children at school, doubtless rave rise to the report. MT. Charles Lesinskv will take charge of the mine during the absence of hTs brother. Ev. ervthing about the Longfellow mine is represented as working well. The railroad from the mine to the furnaces at Clifton, some six miles in length, is completed and in running order, and the mine owners congratulate them selves that if the Apaches again take a notion to raid that way there will be but little for them to steal.

The lower Sur ssdro

In 1876, at the request of numeroui citizens, the lower portion of the SaI Pedro valley, for diqancs of fifteer miles from the Gila seggregateC from the San Carlos h.tn Reserva ton and opened tJ occupation by set tiers. At that time two or three ranche, had already been taken up and slightly improved; ever since the sturdy farm CTS have been coming in from the east and west. until now the valley is a scene of industry and thrift. Several stock men are there with herds oi horses, sheep and cattle, which are do ing nicely on the grand ranges extend ing into the foothills on either side ol the river. Among these we may men tlon Messrs. Hyde, Cook, Rosenthall & Co., Young, Bredwell and others Among those improving the fertile valley lands for agricultural purposes are Messrs. Harrington, Cunningham Wood, DOdson and a number of other, whose names just now escape oul memory.
 It would, however, be a serious over sight for us 10 omit the reconstructed Apache Chief, Eskiminzin, in our lisr of these hardy toilers in the soil. Il IS about two years since he left the San Carlos and located on the west bank of the San Pedro, few miles below Old Camp Grant. Skinny" brought with him about 70 head of cattle and a small heard of sheep. He has now a large irrigating ditch about completed, which will control fine tract of tila- ble land, and the industrious chief is in fair way to secure profitable har- vests and desirable landed estates.
 Saygully is another chef from the San Carlos Reservation who is located on the Aravaipa, few miles east of the San Pedro, and who also possesses cattle and sheep and is doing well in agricultural affairs.
 The settlers on this portion of the San Pedro inform us that the river has always carried an abundance of water, with the exception of one month during a very dry season when the water for the corn crop was very scarce.
 Several promising silver bearing lodges have been discovered in the foot hills, a few miles west of the river. some of which have been prospecteG To depth of sixty feet, and many tons of good ore extracted. It is reported that a Frenchman is now on his way from California with a five stamp mil to De erected in that portion of the San Pedro for the purpose of reducing ores from the above mentioned mines.
 The new road to Globe City passes directly through this section of the valley, thus placing these settlers on the direct highway between the greai mining districts of Pima and Pinal counties. \ semi-weekly mail from Riverside to Tres Alamos affords regu- lar communication with the outside world. The nearest telegraph office is at ThcsOn, 50 miles distant It would seem that these many natural advan- tages, and the united industries of mining, grazing and agriculture, ener- getically followed, ought to insure the prosperity Of the lower San Pedro.

Fdisehood.
 In recent letter from Tombstone published in a recent issue of the Star over the signature of Spicer," was an absurd and wishy-washy statement that Mark Mcdonald had purchased the Corbin mill for the Contention Company. The falsity of this state ment was evident to everybody who knew that the Contention people have a large mill of their own nearly com. pleted and that they are men we'll cal. culated to transact their own business without the assistance of outside O. orators, but these absurdiues are of little moment when compared with the injury that necessarily accrues to a legitimate and successful enterprise by having such false statement get current
 The Nugget last week came to us also, with a statement that the mill had been sold to another company which statement we printed with our own, obtained from an authentic source, that the mill had not been sold and that the owners thereof had no intention of building mills for specu- iauon; particularly when they have enough for their own to do.
 The following letter from Mir. Cor oln we consider eminently just, and take pleasure in publishing It, with the hope that any papers which have given circulation to the lie will con tradict it by telling the truth:
