1 Hopeful Tramp.

An intelligent tramp has furnished ! the Detroit Free Press with his view, | as to the results of the late election ! upon the brotherhood he represents. Among other things he said Tnir ! teen of IL had a sort of convention out in the suburbs yesterday, and we
 agreed that 1881 would be the best | year fO, old clothes. That i-. the public will pursue a more liberal pol icy toward our class. During Inc past campaign, when the election was in doubt, it was the hardest work in tle
 world 10 get an old coat or Iised-Up hat. In inc last two weeks I've got almost enough old dGds Co carry me through the winter

This morning ] called att nine different houses and had the doors Of only three slammed on my toes. X month ago eight doors would have hit me with a bang, and the ninth would have opened tO let a man out to kick me through the gate.
 You must feel thankful
 Well, yes. though I have always contcnded that perseverance, would make our business success. An other result Of tEc election is better food fer Us. Two months ago | was glad 10 got bone and go piece of dry bread. Now we get about the same Gs the family eats.

 That's another result I want Co speak Cf | was in Detroit for a week in September, and | was kicked out o' thirteen yards. I've been here just a week to-day, coming from Indiana, and not boot hss touched me.

Ike Public schools.

From the report of the Superiuten- dent of the Tucson Public school, for the quarter ending November 26 we gather the following.
 Number of boys enrolled, 13S number of girls, S3; total, 221. Mum ber of pupils in reading and spelling, 20l in writing, 221; in arithmetic, 221; in geography, 7G; in composition and grammar, 40; in History of the United States, 13; in algebra. 9
 There are four teachers in the school, and the scho l-term is of ten months duration. So far as caG be learned. the schools are doing excel lent work. and their etfecuveness would be much enhanced were par- ents and guardians generally to show less of the apathy which the teachers justly Of. All things considered, the children of Tucson enjoy especially good educational advantages, and il only remains for the public tO take the proper amount of interest in en- couraging and aiding the work of the teachers to make Tucson second to few towns on the coast in point of ed- ucluOual advantages.

san Xavier.

Col. C. P. Sykes, Superintendent of the San Xavier Mining and Smelling Company, lelt for San Francisco Monday on business connected with the mine. The Colonel called at the CITIZEN office Monday and left as beau- tiful cabinet specimen of the San Xavier ore as We have ever seen. It is brilliant in all the colOrs of the rain bow, and, what is better, Is rich in copper, lead and silver It Is taken from thSdecpest workings of the mine, and k in such quantity that on Fri day single blast threw down ten tons of it.
 There was shipped from this city on Friday another carload of lead bullion from the San Xavier, and in a day or two a carload of copper matt will be sent inside for refinement. In adGi- ton Col. Sykes has sent a ton of Lit tie May ore to San Francisco to have it worked with view 10 aScertainIug The best method of reducing it. The Little May, it will be remembered, is the claim the discovery of which created such a sensation few months ago at San Xavier IL is undoubtedly a remarkable property, and its devel- opment will be watched with much interest

Postal Matters.

The arrival in Arizona of NIT. H. J. McKusick. Special Agent of the Pos tai Department, is productive of much good. The wants and pressing ne cessitieS of the people in the way of mail service are being energetlcally investigated and remedIed. Already a railroad postal service has been put on the Southern Pacific Railroad from Yuma to Benson, which will now in sure certainty and care in the delivery of maIl matter between those points.
 The effect in the Tues on pOstotiice is even now apparent \ large amount of labor is taken from the Over-vorkcd clerks and done by the railway postal agents. This enables our postal ofiic ials 10 accomplish the duties which legitimatcly belong to them in a man ner much more satisfactory Co them selves and the public.
 Mir. McKusick will return % Tue son in day or two, and it iS to b. hoped that among other things he will reest~blish the direct mail service be tween this city and Globe. The number of people on the route who are without suitable mail iaclli- ties is now great enough to demand recognition. Globe City will thus be once more enabled to get its maIl matter promptly. II iS believed that if Mir. Mckusick will investigate the mater he will find an urgent need for this service

SONORA
Progress of the Mining Industry Across the BOrder-An Interesting Communication from a Returned Tucsonian.
TUosoS, December II

TUCsoS, December 14. EDITOR CITIZEN. SOnoTa is just now attracting the attention Ol the mining people, and we may confi- gently expect large amount of bull ! lion to come from there soon. The 1 working of the Sonora mines will add materially to the prosperity of Tue son, and, in fact has already done so.
 In the Altar district there are but ten stamps in operation as yet, but sixty more are being put up now at three | different points. All the best mines are going into the hands of Ameri- cans, and work is progressing very favOrably.
 The 20stamp mill at Cuson, of Messrs. Magruder & Co.,, will start up within a few weeks to work the gold mines purchased from Messrs. . Wimple and Escalante.
 About half of the machinery for the Juarlz Company has arrived at their mill site to work their group of four teen mines, for which they paid Sl60,- coo. Considerable of the above sum came to Tucson owners, and l think there is a neat little cottage up on the Military Plaza built by part of the proceeds.
 The Santa Felicita Company, near Caborca, are busily putting up their works and building houses, and eX- pect tO commence work in about a month or six weeks.
 At the Cienega, about 50 miles south of Altar, there are a great num- ber of very rich mines, with an abun- dance Of wood, and water sufficient for a thousand stamps; but there are only about half a dozen arrastras up Go the present time turning out bullion from that wonderful section. The principal mines in the Cienega are owned by MT. Rennie and his Tucson partners, Messrs. Hay and Austin.
 Labor is scarce just now, but too cheap. lt is not the country just yet for a laboring man Co come to, but as soon as the mills have gotten down tO business skilled labor will be re- quireG Another item, by the way IL Is a very poor place for tramps, and we all hope that that fraternity will take heed and, remain under the protection of the Red, White and Blue. The distances between stations are too great, and the cold broiled ham and bits of turkey that the natives would offer the poor, weary pedestrian wouldn't be a fair recompense for the loil.
 Among the big companies, l omit ted Co mention the San Feliz. They bought their mine very cheap nearly two years ago, and are intending to l build @ railroad % miles long Co the | sea, where they will put mp a large | mill of 40 or 60 stamps
 1 won't gay anything more about the country, but if anybody doubts the existence of this great amount of wealth, just let them take trip and see for themselves. They will meet with plenty of Americans, most of them young fellows, but all hard at work hunting their fortunes. Mining is encouraged by the better class Of McNicau>, and the laws are as just to l foreigner as 10 a native

AIr Placido Ruelas, of this city, recently received a very well and neatly written letter from Guadalupe DomingueZ, who is now undergoing a term of imprisonment at Yuma from this county. D0minguez was former ly considered a very hard citIzcp, and at the time of his sentence Was wholly iiliterate. Since he has been at Yuma he has shown a most commendablc desire to reform, and has so improved his time that his letter ta Mir. Ruelas is very intelligent and wcil-writ' on. In it he states that he is very kindly treated by the prison authorities, who will doubtless join the CITIZEN in the suggestion that perhaps this case might be a good one for the exercise of Coy Fremont's clemency.

Absorption of Nitro GIyeerine.

\ correspondent of the Phenix Her aid, writing from Tip Top, December ?. says: The following Is a nut for scientists to crack: On the night of November 4, John Morton, a miner working on the 300-foot level of the Tip Top, was suddenly startled by a sharp report occurring a few feet in his rear, upon investigation found his wooden tamping stick shattered tO Q thousand pieces. There being no caps or powder near, the only reasonable explanation and one generally con cured in by miners cognizant. Of the facts IS that the explosion was caused by rock falling on the tamping bar, which was an old one and had been thoroughly saturated with glycerine. May not this explain the cause of many premature explosions occurring while holes are being tamped, and would II not be wise to substitute something else than wood for that pur- poses'
