OUR SEIGHBORS.
Items of Interest from the Western
 Portion of Altar District.

Mir. D. B. Nichols arrived in Tucson Wednesday from Sonora, and fromlhim the CITIZEN learns that there is a good prospect of an early and immense bull lion output from the western portion of Altar District. The CITIZEN, some days since, contained an account of a mill being built at Port LobOs, on the Cult, by the San Felix Mining Con- pany, Of Chicago. Messrs. D, B. Nichols and J. C. Waterman were the agents through whom the San Felix was purchased, and they are now making preparations for the opening and development of another rich mine of which they are the owners-the San Pedro-about two miles from the San Felix. Messrs. Nichols aud Water man also own both extensions of the San Felix, together with other valu- able property in the vicinity, and they contemplate the early erection of a mill at Port Lobos, which is about 26 miles distant. The San Pedro is an especially line property. It has Q vein which carries free milling silver ore in width from to 100 feet, and act ual tests show this vast ore body to carry $30 per ton. The vein carries very rich pay-streaks, on which the former Mexican owners sunk some l6 shafts-one of which was 75 feet-and run innumerable gopher" drifts after ore rich enough to pay 10 arras- tras. There are said to be thousands upon thousands of tons of ore in sight.
 The town of LObos seems to have quite commercial future ahead of 1t. The commencement of so large mining operations, and the compar- stively near vicinity of and easy access to the heart of Altar District has infused life and activity into the little port, and the Mexican Government are about to make it port of entry and establish a Custom House there. IL has splendid harbor, being well sheltered from the wind, and there is & depth of 50 feet at low tide not l50 feet from the beach. It is only lS0 miles from Tucson, ard railroad tO connect the two points IS not only possible In the near future, but ex- tremely probable, in view of the fact that the route in feasible one, and and that so many important mines gre being opened along the way.
 MT. Nichols also states that the rail road from Guaymas is now Tn condi- lion to make rapid progress. Three miles of track have been laid, forty more have been graded, and l,s0Otons of rails have arrived for laying more track.
 Mr. Nichols goes back to Port Lobos in few days.

In from IIarahaW.

Mir A. McGregor, who has charge of the famous Trench mine at liar shaw, is in the city for few days. and this morning informed the CITI- ZEN reporter that he expects to have the hoisting works and pumping ap- paratus in working order within three weeks from now, the machinery being all on the ground and put in place as rapidly as possible. As soon as the hoisting works-whIch are of a capsc- ity to work the mine to 6 depth of 500 feet-are completed, the work of development on the mine will be pushed rapidly forward. Great ex- pectations have always been enter talned of the Trench nine, and the CITIZEN believes it will before long add a no uncertain amount to Pima county's bullion production.

pr. C. H. Lords Handsome offer to the
 City Council.

The old Church Plaza is threatened, and if the City Council accept-as they certainly ought to do-the prop osition before them now, the Plaza will soon cease to be a receptacle for old boots, serenades, broken bottles, dead cats and tin cans.
 Dr. c. H. Lord, at the meeting of the City Council Wednesday made an offer ,o purchase or lease of the city the vacancy known as Church Plaza and erect thereon three-story modern brick building to cost not less than s125. GOO. The members of the Coun- ri, seemed most favorsbly impressed with the proposition, but necessarily deferred action until the matter had been given mature consideration.
 To CITIZEN reporter who applied for further information regarding the suDiect. Dr. Lord stated that no plans hal vet been definitely settled upon, hut that 1t was the intention to erect in, finest building in Arizona. The fir,t story would probably be of iron ani be used for banks, stores or other commercial purposes; the second story would be finished as offices, ccuit-rooms, etc., while the third would contain lodge-rooms and 6 I,eatre

The Orion.

Superintendent J. NJ. Kirkpatrick. of the Orion mine, reports that the company's 10-stamp mill at Gro Blanco is progressing toward com pletion as fast as full force of men can push the work The battery is already in position, and the frame work of the building is now going up. In connection with the mill the con- psny have one of Whites roasters and dryers, and part of the ore will be treated by the lixivistion process and part by amalgsmstion. Their mine, the Warsaw. is looking finely. The drift on the 50-foot level is being pushed both ways on the vein, and careful average taken the other day showed s135 in the north drift and S70 in the south drift It will not now be long before the Orion will be ship. ping bullion.

Murder at the Pima Agency.

DT. Handy returned on Friday from the Pima Indian Agency, and he reports that on Wednesday an American was killed on the public road near the Agency by Pima Ind ians, for what reason is not known At the Corone:'s Inquest. which was finished just ss the Doctor reached the Agency, it was elicited that two Pima Indians rode up behind the man and killed him, but the identity of the mLrderers was not discovered.
 Agent Ludlam is employing avery agency in hIs power to bringsthe scoundrel. to justice, and 10 that end will call in all the Indians and exam ine them Considerable uReasiness prevails at the Agency, owing to the fact that there are only seven white people there, women and children, and they are unarmed and wholly de- fenceless. It would seem as though the Government should keep a guard st the Agency to protect the white people there. The murdered man was unarmed, and Rs no attempt was made to rob him, the deed must have been committed from pure cussedness.

Back from Sonora.

Major NJ. Nj. Richardson has re .. turned from his late trip to the Sierra Madre mountains in Sonora, and of course reported Wednesday at the CIT HEN office The Major was in com pany with pr. Gregory, who repre- sents heavy Leadville interests, and B. W. Rice, former Manager of the Western Union telegraph office in this city. The party returned by way of Tombstone, and in passing through the Cienega, ia his own conveyance, Major Richardson found the road al- most impassable-in fact 6 valuable horse in his team was ruined. The rains of last season and the work on the railroad have ruined the wagon road. It would therefore be we'll for people driving to Tombstone 10 avoid that route altogether. The condition of some of the roads leading to. Tue son is simply disgraceful, and it seems that the Board of Supervisors are powerless to provide & remedy, owing to lack of funds. It will therefore devolve upon the next Legislature to devise some means by which sufficient money can be raised 10 keep the more important roads safe for travel.

Only 10 shares of Sierra Ne vada were sold. at $9; 100 shares of Mexican changed hands at SS and $S16 and 10 shares of Best & Belcher at S975.

Virginia 2860 shares at S2S5 10 $2 50, closing at $265.
 The reports from the Comstock are not encouraging. Shrewd men pre- dict the early abandonment of the lCde, owing to the great expense of working the deep levels, the impossi- bility of cooling them, and Ihe absence of actual developments. Certainly new lease of life would be given these mines were a rich body of ore to be uncoyered soon, but If such discovery is not made at an early date 1t is not likely that even the long suffering and sanguine people of San Francisco will care to pay assessments as they are doing simply to avoid the toIel loss of what they have already invest ed. One of the San Francisco ex- changes, variously known as the SC California Board,' the Little Board and the |" Hoodlum Board, has just died 6 natural death. Owing to the inability to pay ex- penses it has been obliged to close is doors.

The Pistol Not Tn Favor at Heidelberg.
 IKrsmer's Railway Guids.l

Of the sixty or seventy Americans at Heidelberg none oi them belong to the fighting corps. They are not cow ards, either. It is known that if oc- casion requires they can light their own way, but they have no desire that their good looking faces shall be hacked and chopped up like dogs meat and be dishgured ever after. Not long ago an American student had slight quarrel with one of Ihe fighting corps and received from him & challenge. Being the challenged party, the American had the choice of weapons. He sent word to the German by friend that he would meet him the next morning at three o'clock, at place outside the city, and the weapons should be navy re- volvers Che had a good pair at ten paces. The German aud his friends concluded that it would not be good day for dusls and the matter was dropped.

American Railways.

Statistics gathered by the Railway Age as to the mileage of new railways now under course of construction or projected in the United States, exhib- it's very clea.ly the rapid progress of the country in material development. During the last six months railway enterprises to the number of 2S7, and covering contemplated mileage of over 10000 miles, have been an- nounced as either Tn process of con- struction or projected, and the list does not include q number Of lines concerning which the precise facts are not known. With 8 few excep- tiOns all the new enterprises are entirely legitimate and prooable of completion. Indeed, 1t is 8 characteristic feature of railway pro- jects at present that they are, as rule intended 10 develop new regions in urgent need of transportation facill- ties, and moreover, that large num- Der of the new lines are being built by strong companies as feeders tU their existing systems. The mileage of new roads is greater in Ohio than in any other state.

A Skeleton King With Silver Crown.

ALlf4ABsAun AAia.l JOOF-Al
 Mir. Morgan Lynn exhibited to Us this week some Indian relics of pe- culiar interest. They were found by Master Willie Powe, near Horns bridge over the Sucarnatchie, and consisted of silver crown, about SIX and a half inches in diameter and two inches wide in the widest part; two silver ornaments, circular in form and two inches in diameter, found with we might say on the person of-s we'll preserved skeleton. The crown still encireles the skull and the other orna- ments rested upon the chest, having evidently been worn about the neck. On the front of the crown is etched the figure of a moose, and on each side of il the figure of 8 wolf. They are evidently the product of skilled workmen, and from certain letters and figures inscribed on the inner surface of the crown we infer that it was of English manufactur". The place on which these relics were found has been settled not less than half century.

 If the youth of the present day but gave a thought to the injurious ef- fleets of cigarette smoking, and siurd- fly tried to avoId the perniciOus habit, we are convinced that both their men, tai and moral we'll being would be vastly improved. It has been often stated by good authority that the in- dulgence of this habit on the part Of our youth tends to degenerate the physical stature of the person who is a slave to the cigarette. It may seem a graceful accomplishment to roll the fragile piece of paper with deAlerity. There may be an innate desire on the part of an ambitious youth to arrive at that stage in the process of cigar ette-smOking when one can swallow the smoke which arises from the to- baccO and paper, and let the blue clOudlets find egress through the nose. But we warn our youthful readers that in becoming such adepts in the art which is sapping their manhOods they have entered on a CouT5e which will eventually bring them 10 an ear ly grave.
