THE "DALT sCASDTEAyEy"
of yesterday has the following OIL the subject
of Cook County politics:

THE POLITICAL OUTLOOK.
Cook County will 80 Democratic this fall,''
that is the assertion hcArd very often nowadays
out Of the mouths Of Democrats. Objeeting
t,.nnst It, Wc are met with Il reference to the
result of the Presidential election In 1876. The
majority WIS then certainly for air: Tiiden.
But those who hope for II repetition OF TINT phc-
nomcnou~this fall will be mistaken.
The present situation Is certainly rery differ
cnt from what 1t was then. The election took
place under the Administration Of Gen. Grant
little known, Sir. Tildcn on the contrary being
very popular all over tho Union The times
thcn were very hurt1 and unfnvorable for tho
commercial and industrial development ut the
country. There existed among the nboring
classcs the opinion that change. BY which the
National Government would pass into the hnrlds
of another purity, woulu have good effect on
the economical and financial interests OF the
country; therefore tho majority OF the citizens
Of Cook County gave their votes to Mr: Ii!4en.
Republican syrnputhtcs by ut the same time
clecting two Ncpuhlicalis 70 Congress. Further
Dac5ors bent tho Republican candidate for Gov
eraor loss than 40 votes. and the NcpubIicar.
county ticket, with tho exception Of some few
elected: consequently, the logical conclusion TO
that M the inajorty Of the voters wanted 10 dem,
0nstr:ltc tleir preference to Tlden against
Hayes, but not against Republican principles
The present situation i very different one
from Shnt It was then: Tho present Natlonal
11iar conviction; the times nre really excellent;
there does NOT exist any popular belief that d
change OF power from one political party to an-
other will effect more. prosperous business; and
finally, Gen. Garfield is not an unknown per-
sou. He, on the contr!.ry, has through his
curecr us representative Of tho people ac-
oui1cd u name not surpassed BY the most re-
iowned leaders Of the cid Republican party.
Therefore. it is difficult to sec any reason for
which Cook y-lsepublfcsn us It Is certain
ly under ordinary cfrcrrnstanccs-should now
suddenly change its colors and become De mo-
cratic.
In the meantime. having no doubt about the
success OF Geu. Garfield, We do not think 1t
matter Of course that the Whole Republican
ticket, Under any circumstances, will be fol-
lowed By the sAme success. In this respect we t
think it right to point out n condition on which
It's surcess 1nainly depends. as before demon

NIT. J. M. Bailey is in the city from Tombstone, and from him we learn that hIs claim, he New Years, is looking extremely well. IL is one of the many claims in Tombstone of which great things are expected ID the future, not only from its favorable pO-ihcn. bu; from the manner in which It is showing up under the work of development. It lies 10 the east Of the Contention anu Grand Central, joining the former of those great mines for q distance of 1900 feet, and the lsster 200 feet. On its south end it has ihe Cincinnati, and ss the latter is now turring out some very rich ore from a shaft not 30 feet from the end line of the New Years, it will be seen that MT. Bailey could not be blamed Tor considering his claim a valuable one. even though it had nothing to show for itself. He did not, however, leave the New Years to grow by proxy, but sank shaft on a vertical vein of black spar which showed in the porphyritic quartzite formation of that vicinity, and was rewarded at several points by the dis covery of small bodies ofvery fair ore. In sinking the shaft to its pre-. ent depth of 112 feet, vein was cut which dips sharply to the east, and after sinking to some distance below NIT. Bailey sent ;n two drifts for the vein, and was rewarded by finding it to be Of most favorable indication. When MT. Bailey left, the face of one of the drifts showed two feet of fine ore that assayed very handsomely, gold predominating very slightly. The present contracts contemplate 250 feet of workings, and at their completion Ihe New Years ought to make a very fattcring showing.

1sr,ennre liusiness.

The CITIZEN takes great pride in telling the outside world of our grea | business houses, but even it IS some- times astouished at the extent of the transactions and the means of hand ling goods of thoss houses. There fore waen a reporter accepted Bob Pot.bod7s invitation 10 take a ride out to L. Zeckendnrf S Co. s warehouse 1t was with genuine desire 10 see the storage capacity of great business
 firm. The warehouse is al the corner of Convent and Gushing streets-or rather occupies nearly whole block and Is q commission house of itself. Here the firm purchases and cures all the hides 10 be gathered around the city, which arc sent of in monthly shipments of about 50O. This, of course, represents only their local transactions in that line. Carefully piled up under shelter from the Vgeath- CT are small mountains of rock salt and fiour-Ihe latter particularly being handled in immense qusniiiies, the store-room being packed tight and a large amount lying outside awaiting room. Chicago bottled beer in bar rels was piled high, and Is handled by ,he carload.
 Bit the most attractive display of all were the agricultural implements, which of themselves furnish so strik- ing a disproof Of the assertions that our country is barren. Workmen were busily engaged in setting up the celebrated Gilpin and Derre makes of sulky and gang blows, iron blows and common blows, big blows and little blows, cultivltors and harrows, until It seemed as if there were DO end to these aids to the husbandman. A customer WAS hitching his ieam to one of the only two Fish Bros. wagons in the yard, and our reporter, remarking at the dispr portion between waglns and other implements of agricultural warfare, WAS told tha; these were all that were left of 64 wagons received but n short time ago. These are but q few of the numberlesss articles for the storage of which this immense corral-warrhouse is used, but they are enough to show the croakers among us-if any are left-that Tucson has the elements of future commercial greatness in her midst.

VIVA LA I.IBERTADi
our Mexican FellOw-Citizens Indulge in Much Joy on the Anniversary oi Their Native COuntry's 1ndepcn- dence.

The generally quiet appearance oi the city all day yesterday seemed to indicate that the 10th of Mexico
 would be allowed 10 slip by without a proper recognition; but as evening snproached the streets began to show evidence ot the deep seated love of country which pervsdes the Mexican b-eas, and as soon as the shades Oi night had fairly fallen, the residences of nearly all our Mexican population and many of the American citizens as well-showed up gorgeous array of light and color, and the fun began in dead earnest. Whole streets were
 adorned with Chinese partl-colored lanterns and other devices of illumi- nation. and the effect was striking in inc extreme. The pesLilential ire cracker aud the more pretenilous bomb played their part In the usual way, and altogether the celebration eclpscd even the Fourth of July in q successful effort to show the love of the Mexican people for the memories of liberty and freedom.
 Later in the evening all the Tucson world wendcd it's way towards Leyin's Park, and that always attractive re- sort never showed 10 better advantage than on this occasion. The trees were brilliant with numberless Chinese lanterns. Roman candies sent their bright sparks among the branches, and the bright colors of the senorltas' costumes combined to make picture of animation seldom seen in the or dinary course of Tucson existence. Both Park and Feast grounds were thronged with surging mass of vls- itors, and the games of chance which do beslrew the path of the speculaiivly inclined in the latter place were thronged with those who felt like courting the tickle favor Of Dame Fortune.
 The grand invitation ball al Levin's | Hall was d success in every way. The | spacious hall had been tastetully ar ranged for the occasion, the stage par ticularly being adorned with entwined | flags of the two Republics. The | beauty and fashion of both national ities danced to excellent music until quite late hour, and the occasion was one long to be remembered.

VALUABLE MINERAL.
It May Exist in Arizona.

In letter to the Enterprise, of Vir- gInis. Nevads, q gentleman of scien- tific attachments in mIneralogy and metallurgy, sets forth the ad 'antage of a mining school in mining State or Territory, rather than in cities far away from mines. He writes while on a visit 10 Swansea, and enforces his views by practical illustrations of the value Of technical education in mining. Here is an extract from his letter:
 During my stay here l have seen a mineral called Pitcn Blend" a very rare and valuable mineral. It is a compound of oxygen and uranium, and is an oxide of uranium. It is used Tn the arts and manufactures. IL Imparts to glass that beautiful canary green color we so much admire. It Is more valuable than cobalt. This mineral was picked up by country man of mine on the waste dumps in Denver City, Colorado. He recog- ized the mineral and its value. He collected it and sent il to Swansea, and it realized five shillIngs q pound equal tD S25u0 a ton. This mineral was not known in Colorado up to three years ago, and the knowledge of being able to recognize it repaid him handsomely. l mention this in- stance ID great many which could be cited, to show our ignorance in re- gard to our minerals; but perhaps you will say that we have no pitch blend in Nevada How do we know! How many of us could recognize il: l venture to say very few indeed. The asSayer cannot reduce this ore 10 its metallic state by means of fire, and il it is only by its delicate reactions by reagents in solution, or in a borax bead under the Olowpipr, that it can be known. And yet our intelligent prospectors could learn by course of lessOus, in one winter, the reactions of several important metals.
 The writer of the above, ChIiito- pher James, recently examined sever al our Southern Arizona mining dis tricts and went away intending to re- turn and engage in mining, the actual reduction of ores. He regards some of the districts examined as promising large results for capital intelligently handled, and thinks there IS no better field for practical mining.

Some AStronomy.
From the World of s ,pt. II

-N--- N-N W eAAN NA 70 Pt- fsl
 On the 25th of September will oc- cur the perihelion of Jupiter. That giant planet then reaches his nearest point to the sun, and is also within a few days of his opposition or nearest point to the earth. Jupiter comes at that epoch 46, GOO, 900 miles nearer the great central orb. He is then, however, more than 45O, 900, 900 from the sun, fortunately far enough away to counteract md mollify the i.crelsed force of attraction between two such mighty masses. IL is safe to feel that the RubicOn of JupItcr's perihelion is passed, for the twenty one days yet to be completed count as nothing in q revolution requiring nearly II, 900 of our days, or twelve of our years. Nearly twelve years must pass before the conditions will again be as favor able for observation. Jupiter comes beaming above the eastern harrizol about $ o'clock, bright enough 10 cast a shadow and afford s glimpse of his moons through a good opera glass. Nothing can be more interesting than to study the phases or the four dia- mond points of light that bear witness 10 the presence Of Jupitcr's moons. Jupiter turns on Its axis in about ten hours, so that an observer on hls equater would be carried round at the rate of nearly 800 miles Q minute in- stead Of the seventeen that mark the comparatively moderate progress made by an Inhabitant at the earth's eoua- tor. Jupiter rises now about &: at the end of the month the rising will be about 6. The September moon fulls on the 18th. It is the harvest moon.

Experts TTomb.tone Correspondence of Los Angeles Herald.l


 Among the late arrivals are half dozen experts from San Francisco. They appear to be dumbfoundered. After running around two or three days over our smooth hills they shake their heads significantly and say, |" l have seen no Assure vein yet-not a contact vein in all the district" All the mineral they have seen was in Assure or contact veins.
 When was boy used to fish in little mountain streams with a. pin hook. Atthe age of 91 l changed my base and settled on the Gulf of MeXi- co. The idea of catching fish in such a large and turbulent pond of water was to me supremely ridiculous. With nay pin hook on the bank of stin clear stream could always carry home q string Of little perch, but on the Gulf l shook my head and never veuiured to wet hook till l by acci- dent saw an old tar pull out a halt doz- en fish which weighed 20 pounds each. IL is just ihe case with these Califor- mia experts. They are looking for small streams of mineral, and the idea of whole mountain of rich ore staggers them. They cannot take il in. A small stream, suitable for pin hook, with a little red cork, is what they want.
 Here IS an ocean of mineral: One of our mines has shaft 400 feet down. At that depth, they dritted 100 feet in four different directions, and nothing but a solid mass of rich ore is to be seen, and every shaft which has been sunk any considerable depth has im- proved from the surface down.
 Some of these experts were sent here by capitalists, but not understanding the country, they will not only fail to secure some of the best property in the world, but damage the mining interest of lhe Territory by their re- ports. There IS suspicion in the camp that some of them were sent here on purpose to throw damper on our mining interests. 1 cannot be- lieve this, as San Franciscans are not so stupid as to throw away the last hope they have to retain the trade Of this Territory.

The Royal Infant.

NEW YORK, September l3.-A Her
 aid cablegrsm says: The intelligence of the approaching confinement of the
 Queen of Spain was of course in a short time communicated 10 the whole city, and Us the welcome news spread,
 it was only natural that the pOpulace should have been attracted Co the pal ace. People of all classes stayed in the Plaza del Oriente under the palace windows all day, and the crowd slow ly increased until the afternoon, when il was known that the palace mes>en- ger had been ordered off at 4:30 o'clock 10 summon the ministers. The hours passed and the crcwd in- creased as lhe intelligence went abroad, until by nighitall the environs of the palace presented | very ani- mated scene. Directly Queen Chris tina felt the first symptoms of travail, her Austrian physician advised the Duke of Sexto, the Lord Chamber lain, who immediately ordered the commanding officer of the halberdiers oi the guard 10 send eighty messengers to request the instant attendance at the palace the ministers, the diplO- maIic corps and the native personages named by royal order tO be present at the birth. The ancient usages of the monarchy required that directly after the birth the doors of the bed chamber should be thrown open to let the King present his child to Ihe assembly in the aniechamber, and Alfonso strictly contormed 10 this practice. A few minutes after the Lord Chamberlain had announced the event to the dis tingUished personageS, the King en- tered, bearing on gold tray his child, and while all the assembly bent forward 10 gaze, the veil that covered the royal infant was raised and every one looked at the child-a strong, healthy baby princess. King Alfonso received hearty congratulations, es- peclally from the foreign envOys and ministers. Before any departed the Minister Of Grace and Justice pre- pared deed recording the birth, and 1t was signed by many witnesses, ac- cording to precedence. Then a solemn Ie Deum for the happy recovery of the Queen was sung in the chapel of the palace by the Cardinal Primate and the Cardinal Patriarch of the h. dies, in the presence of 8 numerous attendance of the nobility. All classes are highly elated at the event so for tunate for the dynasty. Directly af- ter the presentation of the child, the chief governess conveyed her to the apartments which had been prepared Tn the story below the royal bed chamber. The baptism ceremony is to take place in the chapel within the palace on the 10th inst. At the chris lening his Eminence Juan Ignacio Moreno, Archbishop of Toledo, will represent the Pope. When the crowd outside the palace saw the flag and the light, showing the birth of princess or Infan a. as she is styled in Spain, some demonstrations of loy- atty took place.

 A. W. Osborn called this week to give a friendly shake of the hand and to tell of his wonderful strikes on the western slope of the Patagonias. He showed samples of rock from three mines, the assays ranging as follows: The Freddie Bell, $75. 40 in silver; the Little Harrie. s5l 40 silver; the Little Britches, S2l9.90, silver, be- sides several other locations that he asserted were equally as good. This portion of the Patagonias is known 10 be rich. and will doubtless prove it. self worthy of notice ss soon as the right men get hold of it to thoroughly prospect it.
