Things that Should be Done

A sidewalk should be built on Con. gress street from Recorder Meyers drug store to the depot.
 A tannery should be started at some convenient point on the railroad Tn Ar. izona where all the hides and peltries of the Territory may be tanned into leather, thus cheating rhe railroad out of the freight on the hides to Caliror. mia.
 A boot and shoe factory should be established in Tucson 10 make the leather up into boots and shoes thus cheating the railroad out of another freight bill.
 More hay should be cut in Arizona than ever has been before, that cur money may bs kept at home instead of sending ;I out of the Territory to California.
 Sidewalks should be built on Mev. CTS street from the Palace Hotel south to the southern limits Of the town.
 All our roads leading out of town should be put in good repair and kept so, otherwise the trade of Tucson ma, be diverted [" other points.
 A sidewalk should be built from Charley Browns To the Iron Wood stables.
 The Free Masnns of Tucson should buy a lot and build a fine two-storv building, renting the ground floor for offices, and use the second story for a Masonic hall.

Country Rapidly Filling Up-Ch,oa.o Capital-Tueson Citizens Have |. FFornising Property-Etc., Etc.

A gentleman just returned from So horst furnishes US the following inform, alton regarding that rich mining sec. tion:
 The country is rapidly filling up with Americans with capital. and within few months several 2O.stamp mills will be iu operation in the Altar District alone, where he visited.
 A company of Chicago capitalists nave their machinery on the ground near Pitiquitn, and as soon as the min is put up will commence work on their famous mine, the Santa Felicita.
 Another wealthy company from the same:ciiy has 20 stamp mill en route. 70 land nt Point Lobos, 10 put up on an old mine and great bonanza within 50 miles of the coast. There is an old shalt on their mine nearly 700 feet in depth, and enough free-milling ore Of high grade on the dump 10 run the mil for years.
 The p incipai work recently done in the Altar District is at the Cienesa perhaps he richest neighborhuod for gold and silver in the State. The de veloPments within the past year have been mainly by MessrS. Tully & Ochoa and CaI'. Jeffords, of this city. and under the direct supervision of Mir. RaIney, who is also partner. They have done their work sy,tematicall, by um beringth the old shafts and knock ing away rhe rich columns of ore left standing by the Spsnjards for support Tn their zigzag manner Of work. They have a wonderful amount of wealth in sight, and in a short tune will realize enormous dividends for tEeir perse- verance. One of their properties, the Las Animas. and the San Clemente, belonging 10 other parties, are the best known and developed rich mines : iu ihe Ciencga, being true Assure veins of five 10 eight feet of rich ore and streaks of almost pure silver. Tine ! work of the Gamb"sinos " is plainly visible, where they have picked and scratched around for ore of the very highest grade, which they carried off on buTros and worked in the rude srrastra system with very satisfactory returns. These two mines are only ! obort 1 900 yards apart, snd each has enough free-milling ore on the dump to pay the entire cost Of putting up 9 mil Of 20 stamps.
 Beside the great wealth of more ! precious metals, the greslesi antimnny mines in the world are within 2U mics of good shipping point. He com. pany has unlimited means, and within a year will control the markets of the world for that useful article. Americans who go there with the intention nf opening u The mines and developing the country are E'sdly welcomed by all Inc best ciiIzen-, and ! their right, as thoroughly secured as ] any native.
