After Many Days.

Long ago the CITIZEN tried Co make the mouied publIc Of San Francisco and California generally believe that in Arizona there were mineral re- sources worthy their attention aud capital. Every newspaper in Arizona did the same. IL as pointed out 10 San Francisco that if The Golden City was to gain swoy over these vast and rich regions, she must send her men and money here befCre an inlet had been furnished for the Elstein cities. The warnings were ignored. The glanor If the sscssmeut- bearing Comsiock was over all, and thc proud city on the Bay has now the humiiia- ton of seeing Arizona growing rapid- ly in spite of Der indifference, and her supremacy fast going and goIn g forever. Arizona needed Cslilounia's help, netded CalIiornia's men. The latter stand second 10 none in Ihe worlI for energy, coupled with dis creiiop, in mining matters. With Caliloruia's full aid, Arizona would now be tcemiug with busy people and pouring out a sream Of bullion thnl would astonish ihe world This splendid destiny Is Yet reserved for her, but il is due 10 no especial aid from California. The Sau Francisco press is more to blame for this stnte of affairs than any other cause. Had they done their duty, Ca.itornia's su- premacy would never have been threatened.
 Waking up at last. San Francisco Is earnestly endeayoFing 10 repair the harm. and the San Francisco Stock Board hRs commenced listing Arizona stocks. Head Centre anI Naumkeag. mines Of unquestioned aud great val ue, have found a place in the daily transactions. Others will soon fol- low, and 1T care is exercised, the pur- chasers If stock will have a chance Ca make legitimate investments with go prospect of returns olher than the |" Irish dividends which have 30 long charac'erized the Comstuck properties. h rif.Cting this change, Arizuna had many cau-es 10 aid her Great credit is due to many Caliior- nians and Nevadans who have made their homes m Arizona, and anon < others L tt CITIZEN believes that to NIT. lt. r. PiXley's representations and efforts is due much of the interes. which is now being manifested in Ar izona's mines. Others could be named whose work has been most effective, and we shall tuke an early opportunity to further parliculsrize and thank them.

<o,.s from the Gila Nallev-A Splendid chance ior Farmers and 8anchmea.

That portion of the Gila known as pueblo Eiejo, one ofthe most prom isiug agricultural and stock-rais- iBg sections in lhe Territory, is so rarely mentioned in the newspapers ina, many people are wholly unaware of is existence. Aud yet It has re- .ogrces scarcely second {, our mines B, importance. 4 CITIZEN reporter lss Tuesday had tine pleasure of meeling Mr. A E. Jacobs, who is in iowa from Stafford, on a visit to his brothers Nrssrs. L. NJ. and B. NJ. Jscyo* lhe bankers, and learned much ibatwas orinterest regarding the val ley.
 Nr. Jacobs reported the crops as excellent the pnst sesson-ln fact. they are never otherwise. He states ths, there are large tracts of the very finest valley land open to pre- emption. sud only awaiting the efforts of the farmer tp give forth thelr wealth. There gre also excellent opportunities for stock raising ia the higher foot bills back from the river, if wafer could be found, which DO doubt il csuld be with careful prospecting. The farming In [, however, Is Of the most impuTt4oce. The belt of land for winch ample water is available averages fight miles wide along the river, and those who are engaged in farming ia the valley find it prof'- abe. The people throughout the en- tIre section heartily welcome settlers oi lhe right class, and extend 10 them all the information and aid in iheir power.
 The prin2lpsl markets for the pro- duce raised are the mining camps in Glo1e District. from fif;y la sixty-dye niles distant, anI in fIrni>hlng Gov er1.necI contractors with grain, etc. There Is a good 1 aIur mIll al Stafford, and 8 brewery four miles up the river from the town. There are now about 500 people in the valley, and move mcng Is on foot 10 cut a new road through Railroad Pass, via the old Mlnsou road, 10 Wilcox, winch wiil very much shorten the road Co the railroad, and without doubt cause all the trade between Wilcox and Globe District to flow through Pueblo Yiejo.
 SAhUrd is pleasant little town, Rilh a store, blacksmith shop, board iDg- house and saloon, and is growing in very healthy manner. Seven miles further up the river is Solomon vile. which has a population ot about 200, and still further up is San Jose, both thriving Communities. 4 gooJ class of people are going into the val ley. and pc pie who are ugriculturally inclined would find IL to their advan- tage to take look through tue valley. They may be certain uf every encOur- sgenent from The people already in the valley, and will md desirable homes.

Railroad Notes.

--stA--o oHAA -HohE1s
 Work is rushing at the machine shops.
 The neainess and order everywhere apparent at the round house and ma chine shops are evidences that the lo- comoiive department could not be in better hands than under the charge of Masler- Mechanic Kilburn, ably as sisted as he is by Mr. McClosky. the foreman.
 There are now 28 locomotives on this division, with headquarters at Tucson, and 20 new ones are expected 10 arrive soon.
 The bunk-house" for the train men is finished and ready for occu- pancy. The boys ought to name il, something else; it is too imposing a structure tn be called thst-being one of the haudsomest and most comfort ahle buildings in the city.
 Agent Cash reports business as sun on the increase. Tucson h Ids her own bravely as far-and-away the best town on the Southern Pacific Railroad, out side of San Francisco. Much of the freight business of Benson and the smaller towns is iu reality Tucson business, as many of our who.e-ale merchants have their god, shipped direct to their heavier customers from the East and San Francisco.
 The only method at present Of reach ing Fl Paso, Mexico-whither so many eyes are turning as to a coming cily-is via Lordsburg, the railway fare to which town from Tucson i, Sl6 currency. At that place the pas -enger takes the United States Mail and Transportation Company's stages for Silver City and Mesilla, and thence t0 Franklin and Fl Paso. This is a very long and expensive route, but it is said that tue stage cnmpduy will soon put line Of coaches on from the Membres direct to Fl Paso, which will shorten ;be distance by stage tO the vicinity of 60 miles. This would have been done before, but number of head of sock belonging to the com pany were run oil by Indians, thus crlpplIng their resources.
 Agent Cash's private apartments in hls building near tine depot are being furnished in very elegant and taste fu! manner, and are altogether too nice for bachelor. The rooms are without doubt among the best fur nlshed in the ely, anu once more the suspicious of the inquisilive reporter are aroused.

BuiIding Notes.

Building operations in the vicinity or The depot still continue brisk and the way tine real estate has advanced ln that locality fairly paralyzes Inc
 oldest inhabilant." Instead of the railway depot being in the suburbs i, will s"on be in the heart of tho city if the present boom in that neighbor- hood continues. Houses arc sill in ID great demand for the railroad en- pioyes, and they are taken as fas, as they can be erected. The increased force which will be needed when tbe Southern Pacific makes it's Eastern connection will greatly increase the demand.
 NIT. R. c. Balcombe, in addition to his own building operations already me-tioned in these columns. has con- menced 10 build for Alr. w. NJ. Griff- ilhs two doubie-tenement houses, each 35x42 feet, on Eleventh street (lut I2. block sD. As soon as these are com- pieted, NIT. Balcombe will commence the erection of a neat residence for Mir. Gritiths on the Fourth avenue corn, T ot the same block. Also, in the same block, just across the street from his hotel building, Mr. Balcombe has l'ld out a large lot for the purpose ol making a park. The lot Is 53x68 feet and will be planted with trees and grass, and will have fountain sup piled with water from the private water works which he IS about to erect al the rear of his hotel.
 NIT. Sslazar's residence, on Military Plaza, Is beiug roofed in, and is ss- suming something of the handsome appearance which it will present when completed. It will be a cred { to hnlh MT. Salazsr and to the Rrchi- tect and builder, MT. Pattiani.
 MT. NJ. B. Van Fleets pretty cottage Is nearly ready for occupancy.
 The Odd Fellows Hall building Is gong up rapidly under the energetic supervision of Mr. Cratic, who is erecting it. The lower floor will be occupied as a hotel.
 Mir. Fitzpatrick, the contractor snd builder, is rebuilding and moderniz- ing the corner of Church and Con- gress streets formerly occupied as 6 grocery by MT. Ghauetto. Mr. Grofi has charge of the work. There will be two new stores in the building with glass and wooden fronts.
 The elegant m ansion of Mir. W. W. Williams is nearly completed. Ittowers high above it's surroundings, and Is the first object seen by the visitor when leaving the depot. Verify, Tue. son ought 10 have Mob Hill" for such handsome residences.
 MT. Edwards residence is also near ly completed.
 The efforts of so many of our cili- zens to properly build up the ely is having it~ good effect in the spirit of emulation which it has aroused, and there is no doubt that in another year Tucson will compare favorably with any other city of it's size on the Coas Ia this respect.

The " Dolby"

1ICs1N, NONcUD DeF Si.
 EDIFoR CITIZEN: The articles on the " doby We read in the Star would lead us to believe that the business mea ot Tucson have the power 10 de- preciate the Mexican dollar to any extent they please. and, having the power, their interests will be subseryed in proportion as they render valueiess tue Mexican doillr. Such chaf passes current for argument with lhe Star, but 1ut with sensible readers. Intel- ligent people know that our bushes, men have no such power, and that if they had, their interests would impel them to receive tue Mexican dollar for every cent 1t is worth. The rivalry of lhe merchants here would insure this. l he only question in this whole matter is simply one of convenience. Mexican dollars will not pay for the goods our merchants buy, will not pay for transporting those goods, will not pay duties on imports, are DO legal tender in the liquidation oi debts. Our trade relations with Mex Ico are always in such condition that the balance of trade is greatly in our favor, so they cannot send them there to pay their debts. Although they have few more grains of silver than the dollar "f the United States, they have no fixed value in the United States. Thelr value in this country is not determined by statutory en- actment, but by the same law of po- litical economy that governs the price If other commercial commodities. Our merchants are obliged to ship them of and sell them for United States money. They are generally sent to San Francisco and sold, and bought for account of China, where they are usually in request, or It may be they are sometimes bought to be recoined into United States dollars. Although nominally at par value here, they are nevertheless at dis count of ten per cent No one Will dsnv tbis. The change to the stand ard of United States money will not in he least effect the value of the Mexican dollar, nor its purchasing nower. No one will be either bene- fited or harmed by the change The merchants and business men generally will simply exchange an inc"nvenienI system of doing business for Q con- venient one. and to that extent they will be benefited. They pay United States money for their goods and their ,ransportatinn; they will mark their selling prices in UnIled States money sell their goods for United States money or it's equivalent in Mexican money. IL will be much more con- veplent tor them to calculate the dis counr un Mexican money when goods ore sold than to charge the selling price of any article in their stores w,tb the ffuctuation of the value or Mexican money. Is there anything wrong about lhiss Is there anything .a,s.I sbo1t itY The talk of lOsin 5 onr Mexican trade if We change to a sensible system of doing business, IS he shs,rsst kind of ssSssass, B.

Rich Diseoverles of Gold Orc on Pinto CreeE-Flourishing Condition of the IIlIs-A Prosperous Camp.
GLOBE. November 23.


 EDITOR CITIZEN; l have just learned the facts concerning one Of the richest gold discoveries ever found in this vicinity. Iris located on Pin to Creek, and tie ore Is immense-in fact, it is something entirely unlocked for, as the claim had been located for several years and the owners were merely doing the assessment work on tue surface. Out of about 75- pounds ofthe ore there was banned out three of gold, and no knowing how much was lost; so you see 1t is pretty fair rock. The vein shows at present IS inches in width, Sind Is about half mile from the creek, and ub0ve on the head oF the creek there is O tue body of timber; so, taking il altogether, it almost excites a Globeite.
 Everything else throughout ihe dis trict as far as heard from, is in four i.hins condition. The Centennial Is still improving, both in quality and quantity, and the Golden Eagle mill will soon begin their regular ship. ments. The Isabella mill ;s hammer ing away on Centennial ore and our friend Capt. Tucker " packs in his gold bar from the Townsend and sp- pears as happy as a bonanza king.
