No Doubt.

IL has been said that she who dieth without having begotten a child, or written book, or builded a house, or planted tree, hath lived in vain The accomplishment or the first requi. site IS a mixed problem, which we had rather not discuss. Of the second, ii IS only necessary to state there are nc pawnbrOkers in the Territory, and it is an undenIable fact, demonstrated by the records of over a hundred years that they are indispensable auxiliaries .of literary success. Of the third and fourth the scarcity of lumber and the non-fertility of the soil where trees dc not naturally grow, leave a wide mar gin for those who have "lived in vain, but if we may be permitted tO add a fifth to the list, and place thereon the discovery of a mine, we feel assured the industrious and persevering miners .Of Arizona have not as a body lived iI vain.

More Jumpinr Notes

E.J Smith, who is just in from Tombstone, informs us there is not much loose lumber lying around the town now, it being all used for fencing lots. Last Sunday it was rumored that the Land Office would not grant pat .ent to certain lands covered by town lots, and in the evening the jumping process commenced, and was vigorous ly prosecuted throughout Sunday night. During Monday there was a Hull in the real estate matters, but on the nights of the days mentioned un- usual activity prevailed All the va cant lots on Allen and Fremont streets were jumped, in fact the spirit of the acquisition of Territory was so great that the sacred precincts of the graveyard were encroached upon. We are informed that an insurance agent jumped five lots and built cabins upon them That the number should have been limited to five is the only matter of surprise Some trouble is antici- pated when the former owners make their appearance on the disputed prem ises.

The graders will camp on the ground this evening and begin work on the artesian well tomorrow, which will be sunk 8 short distance north of the residence of Joseph Neu- gass. The dimensions of the freight department will be 35x16O feet. The round house will contain six stalls The passenger depot will be S5x55 feet and two stories in night. It is thought the road will be graded to the site of the proposed new building within four days.

The Game of Flip

Is now played to some extent in this city. The character of the game is not like any other that we know of.
 We cannot describe it exactly, having seen it but once. It is played by two only and it serves to develop the mus clei of the leg. We shouln think it d healthy exercise, except to the one Tipped ", who stands good chance of having his neck broken, if the op- ponent is an active and muscular per son. It is an exceedingly amusing recreation to the lockers on. It is our intention to describe it darticularly after We have further investigated the ins and outs of the game. A party of strangers were permitted last evening to view how it was done by an expert, and they enjoyed it very much. The amount of agility displayed was won- dersul. It may when known become as popular with the masses as polo or base ball.

The NeM Hotel.

Mention was made a few days ago in the columns of TIE CITIZEN of pending negotiations for the erection of q new and eommodious hotel in this place. We now state upon good authority that lot 100, being 400 feet square, has been purchased for that purpose, and work upon the building will be commenced within the next ten days. The location is probably one of the best in town, being near the proposed depot of the Southern Pa cific railroad. It is the intention oi the parties interested. to erect a build ing at a cost of S50,OOO. The grounds will be improved, and trees and shrub berv set out. IL is intended tO expenc in the neighborhood of S20,0O0 in fur nishing the house, and beautifying the grounds.

Line Sot Down.


 Owing to the many inquiries about the line being down the operator deems it proper to publish the follow ing:
 TUCsoN. March 6. ED. CITIZEN Star makes the statement in this mornings issue as follows: "A special dispatch to the Star says the lines are all down beyond Yuma, and no news was received yes iterday up to o'clock" which means the 9th inst. This is incorrect, as l re- ceived press report and list Of passen- gers for your evening issue of the 9th, also received messages from the east at noon via California. The Western Union line was down ?. m. of the 4th inst, west of Yuma, but came 70 K at our office hours in the morning at 9 o'clock, consequently was not down as stated. I merely wish to make this correction for the information of the public, who may be misguided, and possibly interfere with important tel. legraphic correspondence.
 Very respectfully. OPERATOR.

Fine Specimens.

NIT. Woffenden, one of our oldest and most respected citizens, showed us some fine specimens today from the Mary Lee mine, situated nine miles Tn a northwesterly direction from town, in the Tucson mountains. This mine is not a new discovery, but has recent .ly been purchased by Messrs. Wotfen- den, Ross and Lynn, and a new shaft is being sunk on the ledge, which al the present time, has reached a depth of about ten feet. The ledge appears judging from surface indications, to be some seven feet in width. The ore referred to was taken from the bottom of the shaft, and appears to be unus uallv rich in silver. It is to be hoped that this, and other mines in the vicin ity, may prove all that they promise al present. as their proximity to Tucsor would very materially add to our pros perity.

The Rain.

Occupying the position of a con scientiOus and observant chronicler of passing events, it becomes our impern. tive duty to inform our numerous readers, that the humidity of the at- mOsphere became so intense, late yes terday afternoon, that watery particles preceptable to the eye, and equally sus- ceptable of demonstrating their power of penetration, descended from visi- ble vapOr which had been suspended in the atmosphere at a low latitude for a number of days; that in conse- quence, the generally useful, if not in dispensible, sprinkling cart, was dis pensed with, and that exceedingly comfortable, not to say necessarily eco nomical auxiliary of such a condition of temperature, the umbrella, was brought in prominent, if often ungrace- ful use. We hardly deem it necessary to add-as it possibly may not contrib ute to the acquisition of knowledge on this subject-that the event referred to in this perfectly lucid article, is of rare occurrence in this locality, at this par ticular period of the season.

WE have found another pay-streak, and after surveying it have concluded to tell everybody and divide. We can recommend it to the sOberest and shrewesa as a mine well worth work ing. We are in receipt of the new 4S page price-list of the Red House Trade Union, of Sacramento, California, and wish we could put it into the hands ot every man and woman in Arizona Buying goods through orders 10 this great house is now a leading feature of California and Nevada trade and we cannot see why Arizona should not find il equally advantageous. Every one should send for thelr price-list which Is mailed free

SATURDAY, MARCH 6. 1880
The steam Engine.

Some fine machinery, among which was powerful engine, passed through
 town the other day for the Tombstone mines, and in few days the shrill
 whistle of the locomotive will fall like music upon our expectant ears. If we but pause for few moments's reflec
 ion, we will understand why it is that the imprisoned geni of little heated water, is the greatest civilizer of the world. On the land it grinds the grain, works the looms of the factory, hoists the ore, carries freight and pas. over mountain tops and across burning, inhospitable deserts. On the sea it holds the prows of the trembling steamer steady against the power of the cyclone and the wave, until the former dies exhausted to q signing breath, and the latter ceases to rave and sob. Wherever it goes it Is the herald ot higher type of civilization. It does today in Arizona the labor of thousand mules and five hundred men. It makes the labor of a million of men in the United States of more effect than that of two hundred million men. It is the glory of the age, and in its combinations and results proves that its invention nearly century ago was intended to mark a new epoch in the world, enabling man in his brief three score years and'ten to do more labor-really live longer-than did the fossils who vegitated through twenty generations before the flood.

Improvements on All Sides

Either new buildings are being erected or old ones repaired on nearly every street in Tucson. Old ones are being built higher; new floors doors and windows are being put in; insides are replastered and outsides plastered that never have been; sidewalks and streets are undergoing repairs and Marsh & Driscoll have set an example in front of the Palace Hotel worthy of imitation, as well as nice to look at and solid and clean to stand on. All this work is in harmony with the times, and we believe is justified by the facts Developments of rich mines are progressing in the mountains oll round Tucson. This place is bound to grow steadily and better improvements will be made. The idea that the in. creased business south, west and north of Tucson will not largely overbalance the partial loss of that to the east ward is not worth entertaining. Mark 1t down that Tucson will always be the largest and wealthiest town in Ar izona. IL will keep the lead in public and private schools, in finance, in trade, in manufactures-in short, as the central point to which people and business will come. The great want of the town to day is a new, airy, we'll kept hotel, with large rooms, and situ- ated somewhere east of Stone avenue. Such an one would not only have abundant patronage now, but for ali time, and be s decided attraction for Tucson, which no other institution would equal.

The Word " SOzodont,-

Which has already become a house hold word, is derived from the Greek, and composed of two woods, SOzo and OdOntes. SOzo" translated means to preserve, and "OdOntes the teeth " SOZODONT," a preserver of the teeth. And it is true to its name. It beautifies and preserves the teeth, hard ems and invigorates the gums, and cor rects all impurities of the breath. The odOr of this pure preparation is SO de lightful that it is d luxury to apply it. It is harmless as water. sold by all druggists and perfumers.
