HARsHAw, July 14.-If there is any thing more rxerCIsable than the road from Pantauo to the first stage station, he COttOnwoods-a distance 0f Is miles-a search through the long cat alorue of grievances will certainly fail to find it. From the first II is a Greco Roman wrestling match with tbe seat. with the odds largely in favor of lbc latter. The only division Is a series of bets in ones mind as to which of the sides. ends, bottom or top of the stage will be banged the most times win ones head. There Is a deduct ion to be made from all this II the Tucson mind will only hunt around and find it, and that Is that now is the lime 10 build the new road to liar shaw. The road must be built, and that soon. The trade with Patagonia is too important to be risked by delay.
 Leaving the COttonwOods, however, ample compensalion awaits the tray eler. Here the road grows of the best. And if he is so fortunate as 10 enjoy the treat of 8 ride on the box with that prince of stage drivers, Lee Strow- bridge, as did he forgets his pains and aches in reveling in tue pure. co, l mountain air, the fine scenery and the glorious intoXication of bowling along behind the best four-ln-hand teaIB that IS dragging a stage ID the Territory to- day. And then, if StrUwbridge Is in the humor, what a wealth of old stage stories he can unfold from the port folio which he has been gathering ever since he was able 10 crack whip. And how he can handle the ibbons!
 These Harshawnese are proud of their picturesque little camp; they are proud of its rapid and substantial growth they are proud oftheir delight lul climate; they are proud of their imposing HermOsa mill--for don't they all have proprietary interest in this great mine, and don't they all pin their faith to il? There each and every one ask you how you like it "- meaning by that comprehensive little monoSylable the whole catalogue Of Harshaw's delights. And then, com ing from hot and dusty Tucson's hum drum business life into this cool, brac- ing atmosphere, you need all its in- spiratIOn to hlnt d descriptive adject- i've big enough to satisfy them. You are rewarded with a most emphatic c and cOrroborstCry you bet" They are gl"riously h0spitable, and as THE CITIZEN is a general favorlte, t is ea- silly seen that am well cared for.
 OfcOurse l have been visiting the mines, but in this preliminary letter l have no room to tell your readers what l saw-why, two columns would hard ly be sufficient 10 describe the Hermo- Sd alone, to say nothing of the many mines and numberless prospects with which the surrounding hills abound.
 l believe 1 remarked that the liar shaw people are proud of their pie turesque little town, and if they were not, they would be blind. The eli mate is simply perfection. The main and only street follows the canyon, with little Off-shopts into the gu.ches, with a delightful irregulariiy. While many of them are temporary struct- ures, the buildings which have been put up to stay are mere plentiful than one would suspect in a comparatively Ai' " AtAt4A Er tAAtN AAl-SkEA4b 4AtAaAo tAN by no means few.
 l ind that times in the camp are very dull just at present, though every. body seems 10 be at work at something or other; and one reason, probably. is that almost every line 5f business is overdone. But tLis will ail be reme died shortly, for l understand that aside from ;he fact that the Hrrm1Sa will soon put on number of addi- tioGal men, several other properties will shortly be placed on a working basis.
 BUSINESS MEN.
 As the inhabitants of the camp must all have come from somewhere or oth- CT, and as many of them are old Tue son people, or known in a. and h. pue- bio, few notes of them and their doingS will, l know. prove acceptable. They have an upper and lower town, the latter heiHg the first you encounter Tn coming up the ravinc. IL is much he larger of the two, but as the inter vening distance is only slight, the IT. valry between the two Is altogether friendly. Upper town boasts the pos session of the mill, the postofiice, Wells, Fargo & Co.'S office, the Bull ion printing office, Harlow's and haiZ's stores, the Maison DOre6, two first clas lodging houses, the Arizona and St. Char es, and a number of other business places.
 The handsomest store in the camp is Harlow & Cos. It is a neat wood en building, and so constructed for perfect ventilation that it is even cool CT than an adobe. Its interior ar rangement are most perfect, and en- ables the handling of very large stock Of general goods.
 Nanderlip & Pagan are proprietors of the Harshaw Market at the lower end of town. Mi. Pagan is one Of the fathers of the town, for he came into the camp with HIrshaw. and was one of the original lOcatOrs of the IIermo sa, the Alta, and a number of other prominent mines.
 J. ". Davis is another of the pio- neers. He has large store full of general merchandise, and enjoys a gen erous share of the public patronage.
 Goldberg & Son are a new firm in town, but already their fine stock and business methods have attracted a very euviable trade.
 \. r. Nelson brews the lager beer. and most complete and orderly brew. cry it is. IL is just below the Hermosa mill, and a large and neatly arranged saloon IS attached.
 Wm. Kane < Co. are wholesale liquor dealers, and their stock com. prises tLe best goods that can be ob. tained, and they carry a large stock at that They Go, in consequence hand some business.
 NJ. D. Katz e Co. have large store near the postoliice piled full of hard. ware, groceries and produce, and do very extensive business.
 Next door 10 the pOstOfflce, in upper town, IS Stephens * Darling's meat market, and l found Mir. Darling up to his neck in business.
 Ia the next building found J. Mar. tini, with one Of the neatest saloons in town
