Arri,oI in the Citr.

As the train approached within @ mile or two of the city, an immense cloud of dust was seen rising from the vicinity of the depot, indicating that Tucson had poured forth her pOpula- tiOn 10 welcome her great visitors, a fact which was verified when lh e train drew up tp the station. There were assembled a great thrOng of peO- pie. all in their Sunday attire and eagerly crowding to catch the first glimpse of the President. One of the party remarked that the appearance of the throng was just like that in an Eastern town. " and seemed surprised that q far frontier city should turn out so many well-dreSsed people. Car riagcs had been provided for the party, and an escort of cavalry from Fort Lowell was drawn up in line. As the train moved up, the splendid military band played Hail to the Chief, ' and the crowd began to surge up to the edge ot the platform. After a few minutes of preparation, the President emerged from the car accompanied by Gen. Carr, and followed by the re- malnQer or the pdItN lu'1 Pl'NSNNSu at once to the carriages, which drove into town in the following order: First, the President and Reception Commit tee: second, Secretary Ramsey, Mrs. Hayes aud Miss Sherman; third, Gen. sherman, Gen.

Work Your Minc..

For some time past the Leaay,iic Circular has persisteutly urged miners Co cease their efforts IO sell mines. and work them for pay instead.
 That thIs advice has been needed Co some extent is shown by the increased output of that camp Iu August and September, notwithstanding the Chrys- oltc product has diminished One-halt- and that of the Little Chief fallen Go merely nominal figures. In July the entire output of LeadviIle vas esti- mated at S1,050, 900, in August $l,- 2jO, 900, and in September Sl ,2gO, OOO. These figures indicate what a score or small mines can do if earnestly worked, in case of failure or dlmin 70 Ished output of two or thres large ones.
 Individual labor must precedc and dave the way for capital in all mining districts, and nOw-a-days nothing will SO inspire capital with confidence in the value of q mine as actual pro duction and sales of the product, whether lt be 1000 pounds or ten tons daily. Admitting ;he truth Of the ubove. let owners who wish Co sell properties that have pay ore in sight take that ore out and sell i'. and armed with mill certificates the only trust worthy proofs of value-they need not wait for buyers. If, On the other hand they wish to retain and work their mines, is il no, better iO make available the output Of ore, be ii little or much, by applying it's proceeds m cash to further development, instead of drawing upon other resources to cover all the cost.

Jack Bruce was at the throttle of old '' No. ?, and he made the dust fly, if the smOke-stack of the old favOrite engine pas painted lead color. w $. Ford, the yard-master at Tucson, was in charge of the train, and he made il pleasant for all on board.
 The visitors to Casa Grande were very much surprised at the amount of business which is transacted at that place The large freight-shed was piled full of goods awaiting trans portatiOn, and MT. J. K. Banks, the new railway agent, informed the Orr HEN reporter that the shipments from Casa Grande are among the largest on the road. The Silver King concen- tratiOns are forwarded from there, and a short time ago Mir. Boulanger made a shipment of 10000 pounds of cop per ore from his mine on Mineral Creek, the first of regular series of shipments.
 After all the discussion among the " boys" No. 39 engine-over which Engineer Ingles presides-had the honor of pulling the Presidential train in from Yuma, and she did it right royalty, making the distance from Yuma, 24y miles, in seven hours and ten minutes actual running time, or a little more than 9 miles an hour.
 The Presidential train stopped forty five minutes at Maricopa, where Com pany K, Sixth Cavalry, were drawn up for inspection by the party.

visitors with questions of similar i'm Io.t to those of the President.
 General sherman. who is said to know more people than any other man in the United States. at once made the acquaintance of the gentle men in the citizens car, whither he repaired soon after the tram left Casa Grande, and was soon busily engaged Tn a running conversation with the occupants ot the car. several or whom he found to be old acquaintances. Ar izona is no new country to the Gen eral, who was here wish the troops years before the war. As gentle man present remarked. the bluff and hearty old General is the s best sin gle-handed talker in the United States, and he fully sustained his reputation. He was particularly pleased to meet Dr. Handy and NIT.
 W. C. Davis, whom he thanked in the warmest possible manner for their at tentiOns to his brOther-in-law. Gen. Tom. Ewing, during his recent nearly iatal illness in thls city. The Gener- als conversation was principally rem
 iniscent in its character. and his vast fund of droll humor was greatly en- loved by those present. In answer to a remark from the gentlemen pres ent to the effect that Nictorio would not now be liable to bother them or the home trip, the General said with one of his Inimitable wluks. Oh, Victoria wouldn't bother me: if there's any scalpIng to be done, l gen. orally do II myself" He added in a more serious vein: No, gentle man; when the railway is completed and you have through line to tine Atlantic, the Indian problem will have been solved as far as yOu in Ari % Zona are concerned. Col. Zabriskie reminded the General of the camels which were once imported years ago into ihe southern country and used for transportation purposes across the desert plaIms of New Mexico and Ari- Zona, and informed him that large herd of camels were now in the GiIa valley-the descendants of the first im- pOrtationS. This called up in the Generals mind a train Of reflections, and he remarked that a transcanti- mental main line of communication between the South and California was by no means a new idea. l. was one of the pet schemes of Jefferson Davis before the war-a scheme by which ne hoped 10 gain California and Califor- nia's interests to the South and hold them by a bond of communication over these very plains. Jeff Davis, " added the General was never for secession he always opposed secession. He is of a most despotic nature, and he wanted to rule the whole country He strained every nerve to accomplish it, and if he had succeeded you would all to-day be under his Leel. He didn't want seceSsion-he wanted empire"

Particulars and Incidents Re- garding the Notable Event
 in Our City's History.

Sunday was a most memorable event Tn the annals of Tucson and Arizona. The President of this great nation, accompanied by one of his cabinet officers, the General of the OnlIed States Army, and other per sons of distinction and importance. visited our city and Territory. The event was important in double sense. President Hayes was the first Chief Executive who ever crossed the con3i- nent from ocean to ocean, and the visit of the President 10 the Pacific Coast and his meeting our people face to face will be productive of the great est possible good The importance oi our vast resources, our great indus tries and our needs will be better un- derstood, and cannot but further the legislation needed 10 foster and ad- vance our interests. The President can now more clearly comprehend the situation of affairs in this great section of our common country, and our people will be all the better for having met the head of the nation of which they form a part.

The situation, Territorial and Local.

The Situation. Territorial and Local.
 As the 2d day Of November ap- breaches. the appearances grow more and more favorable that the entire Republican ticket in the Territory, with 8 few unimpOrtant exceptions. will be elected. It Is time for the Republican managers Co |" round up Y" and see what has been done and what is yet necessary tO be done. Had any man predicted one year ago, when the DemOcratS-thrOu ugh an entire ab- sencc of OrganiZatiO on the part of the Republicans-he held high sway in the politics of Arizona, that such political revolution would take place in twelve short months, he would have been regarded as demented But the fact remains that the people through out the entire Territory have awak- enei Co a full sense of the importance of dethrOning the old rulers, and the result cannot but be beneficial Co the interests of the whole people. A wig or0us opposition ii absolutely essen tial in keeping 8 reigning party within the bounds of moderation. and this has previously to this election been lacking in Arizona; in consequence the Democratic managers have grown insOlent, arrogant and regardless Ot all save their personal ends
 This spirit was manifest from the inception of the ca mpaigu. Flu.hed with confidence born ot past success, and blind in lie belief that the apathy of the people wGald insure them vic tory as of old, the Democratic manip- uIators coolly ignored Inc wishes and interests of the people. They little rocked that the breakers Ot disaster were SD near, and the uudertOw Of public indignation has caught and is hurrying them swiftly to their p0lit- ical graves. For the highest office in the gift of the Territory they nOmi mated @ man against whose personal qualities, It is true, little can be urged, but whose pOlltica. acts and record have been such as tO antagon- iZe all the newer and better elements of our population. The example thus set by the Territorial Democratic organization was followed as rule by the county organizations Of the party. They ignored the wishes and interests of the best element Ot their own party, and insultingly detied the Republicans to a contest. hO" promptly that challenge was accepted and how effectively the good light has been waged, the result of the present election will show. The Republicans and independent Democrats have only 10 be watchfnl and victory is theirs as sure as the sun will set on election day.

Meeting the rrssidentlnI rartr.

A committee of three gentlemen, consisting of Mayor Leatherwood, Dr. C. II. Lord and Mir ?. R. Tully, was appointed by the City Council to meet the Presidential party at Maricopa and formally invite them to visit Tucson and accept the hospitality of her citizens A special car was char tered for the purpose, and a large number of the leading citizens were invited to accompany the committee. The train left the city al six o'clock in the morning, having on board the following gentlemen: Mayor Leath erwoOd, P. R. Fully, Dr. C. II. Lord, Dr J. C. Handy, SenOr Barrie. the Mexican Consul in this city, Judge John Haynes. ". C. Davis, Col. J. R. James. NJ. G. Samaniego, Judge Joseph Neugass, T. L. Stiles, Carlos Velasco, Judge Meyers, B. NJ.

Frank Lord, Thomas Driscol, and a CITIZEN reporter.
 On arriving at Casa Grande, it was found that proceeding further would cause a disarrangement of the trains and delay the arrival of the President. and the party therefore remained at Casa Grande. On the arrival of the Presidential train, the committee waited upon the Chief Magistrate and informally rendered him and the party accompanying him the freedom of the city. which President Hayes accepted with a few words of thanks. The President then emerged from the car, and the citizens present were intro duced to him by Dr. Lord and the committee.
