, force now occupying Pensacola. My
soldiers are suffering greatly for
the want of provisions, clothing and
J medicine. Immediate relief ia requir-
ed, and I must have $4,000 to pur-
chase them supplies. Here is my draft
on the Government, 1 desire to have it
cashed.
The cashier was appalled, by fhis de-
mand. There was no authority to
honor this chsek.The courteous but
firm manner and the prestige of the
chieftain, however, restrained any such
intiniation from the cashier Reqdest-
ing the General and his staff TO be seat
ed, he retired to the rear Office, sof the
President and communicated the ap.
paling demand of the conqueror. of
Florida. The President was equally
alarmed and dispatched ,aiihlessenger "a
to convoke the Directory sTheyiquick-
ly assembled and the subject was re-
ferred to them.
It should be borne. in mind that at
that time General Jackson was regard
ed with great deal of bitterness and
distrust by a large political party in
the country. He was looked upon as
a dangerous and assuming military
chieftain who menaced the integrity
and freedomiof our civil Institutions,
ahd especially Of such institutions as
the great National bank. Tie direct
ors of the branch bank here were
doubtless somewhat pervaded with
this sentiment. Still the rules of the
bank justified them in declining to ad-
vance the funds demanded by General
Jackson, and the President was In
structed. to to communicate this CON-
clusion of the Board. =. saa zuo4
He did SO with all the sauyity usual
on such occasions.
Then rising from his seat and adj
vancing to the counter, behind which
the polite President stood, the old
chiof aakad
"Do 1 understand you, sir, to say
that this bank, having the money of
the United States in its vaults, de-
clines to advance sum sufficient to
supply the Immediate needs of two
th ssand patriotic soliers whom left
in the swamps of Florida, exposed to
fevers and starvation p
"With profound regret the rules
must be observed" .h2f-la
Whereupon, with flashing eye and
that terrible aspect never to be for
gotten by any one who ever beheld
Old Hickory in rage, the General,
raising high his gauntleted hand
brought it down with great force up
the counter, exclaiming g By the
Eternal! l will live to serve your ras-
cally bank as I have served the Span
iards in Florida, as equal enemies of
the people and OF liberty" go.
With this fearful menace and VOW
he strode with his staff out OF the
bank. AS he emerged from the bank
the General encountered two Irish
born citizens and merchants of New
Orleans, who had hastened to join the
General, with offers to cash his draft
and furnish all that he needed for his
army. 81 t,i A5tesie :; sl-'.i#'

Dry Washers.

The last issue of the Denver Tribune dcvotes a column to the operations o the Dry Placer Amal gamator Com pany,' which now employs a peculiar machine for extracting placer golC from diggings where water is very scarce. Mr Erastus s. Bennett, whC IS the president of the company and inventor of the machine, expects tC make grand success of its Oper ltions and as Arizona has many dry placer di ggings the following description oi the machine will probably be of inter est to many.
 The machine, in a superficial view presents the appearance of large iron tank, mounted on wheels and sur rounded with various cranks and cogs. In reality, it is tank of boiler iron, measuring eleven feet in length and four in breadth, the bottom lOngiiudi. nally divided into two valleys or de pressions. Along each of these val leys extends pipe, from which thirty jets of water are forced by the aid of a pump. The machinery of the concern is driven by a ten-hOrse-pOw sr traction engine, which is amply sufficient to do all that is required of it. The dirt to be treated is shOveled at one end and falls upon revolving screen, which catches all the coarse particles, and by its rotary motion carries them to one side and deposits them on a tailing plate, from which they fall in a useless heap to the ground The balance of the dirt passes through to a still finer screen, also revolving, and, after being washed through the water, pass out like the larger masses.
 The rest of the gravel and sand, con taining of course the gold, falls through to the bottom Of the two valleys, pass ing in the meantime over amalgam plates with which the tank is lined, and losing thereby the flour and float gold. On the bottom the dirt is throw H up and around by the jets of water, and as these are set at an angle it is also forced along to the further end, every step of the way losing gold by gravity and amalgamatiOn, and finally being thrown into ihe little buckets of d slowly revolving wheel which deposits the waste stuff on plate to finally drop oil.

h RenubHcanS.

A Territorial Republican COnven tion is appointed to meetin Tucson on Wednesday next, January 2S, and the counties of Yavapai and MaricOpa have already elected their delegates Only ten days yet remain, and il is high tune that Pima and other counties are on the move. The purpose of the Convention is to elect two delegates to represent Arizona at the National Republican Convention to be held in Chicago. We join heartily with the Miner in recommending the selection of Hon. Levi BashiOrd, of Prescott and Gov. Stafford, of Tucson, to attend the convention at Chicago, inasmuch as these gentlemen are in the east, and can without much trouble or cost do so, and creditably at that.

ONCE more we are called upon tC chronicle the revival of work at the old Nulture mill, near Wickenburg MT. Vim. E. Smith, of San Francisco is just commencing the concentrating of tailings, for the purpose of ship ment to San Francisco, which it l, thought will yield a handsome profit
 Reports from central Arizona are quite encouraging; the mill al Seymour is reported as crushing 47 tons per day being an increase of l5 tons per day over any former work. Roughly as sorted rock from which a large amount of gold is obtained is also being work. ed up. The company propose to du away with the transportation of ores from the mine to-the mil by erecting at an early date an eighty stamp mIll at the mine, and forcing water from the Hassyampa to the mill. The esti- mated cost of reduction of unasSOrted ore, of which there Is an immense quantity in sight, will be nominal, perhaps about $1.S0 per ton. The trans spOrtatiOn problem being solved and with the self ore feeders one man can attend eighty stamps instead of two to each twenty as at present. Tins will enable the old Vulture to rival if not surpass its palmieSt days, and add to the revenue and general prosperity of that section of the Territory Sen tinel.

 A correspondent to the Silver City Herald says Shakespeare at present numbers about one hundred souls, the majority of whom are at work, and we can divine no cause for the idle ness of any after the 18th of this month, when the bids for contract ID the sinking of shafts on the property of the Shakespeare Gold and Silver Mining Company will hare been opened and the labor awarded. Work will then be idosecuted rapidly to \ depth that ;.H establish tue perma- nency of these iodes.
 Quite stir has arisen lately in that section of Virginia District known as LeitendOrf's Wells, owing to the quan- tity and quality oe some of the claims lately opened in that camp. These wells are situated in SOuthwesterly direction from he town of Shakespeare, and the richness of that portion Of Grant County has heretofore been little known to the prOspector. But few months since Messrs McKane and n arlington, of Silver City, and Even. son and Fitzgerald, of this place, while on a prospecting tour in that vicinity discovered rich % float" and searching for the lead from which the same might have come found the Henri. etta, ""ViOla. "" Hard Game Golden Gate" Silver Bell, and other valu- able lodeS. The rock from these mines, on asserting. will average $l0O per ton. The lOdes n: present are not great in width, but in sinking steadily increase in size. Col. Boyle, of the Shakespeare mines, we learn, has SC cured the disposition of this property, except that known as the Golden Gate" which has been purchased by Hon. B. GratZ Brown, of St. Lotus. Col. Boyle has parties sorting and sacking 2500 pounds preparatory for shipment tO New York. We would further state that the ore from this camp is what is termed free milling ore, and have no doubt but the ship ment of this same quality will have the tendency of furthering the inter ests of Grant County.

Phenix Items.
From the Expositor.l I


 Louis Gezelle left on Wednesday fol Tucson to receive the money for his copper mine.
 The organization of the Republi cans in this connty is progressing rap idly. At least funds are being collect. ed and contributed literally for print ing, etc.
 We hear of some very rich mines having been discovered near Casa Grande. Samples of orc which we have been shown are very rich in gold and silver. The ore assays $73 in gold and $156 in silver.
 The First Presbyterian Church of Phenix has become 6 corporate body by the election of F. A. Shaw, J. E. Wharton, A. D. Lemcn, Hosea c. Greenshaw and Wm. A. Hancock as its board of trustees.
 A prospecting quartz mill of three tons daily capacity will arrive in Pine Rix in few days for Al Wormell, who tells us that he will set il up on the Warrior mine, in Plomoso district, winch MT. W. says is one of the best gold lodges in the Territory.
 Phenix is to have new hall for the use of the First Presbyterian Church, the Union Sunday School, MaricOpa Library Association, Ladies' Literary Society and other meetings that will promote the moral and intellectual ad- vancement of the community.
 Concerning the escape of Powell the Expositor says: Mir Speedy was in Phenix two days ago and said that his .prisoner went to New Mexico. What a farce it is to see sheritf's officer guarding a prisoner convicted of man slaughter, travelling all over the Terri tory without exercising the slightest restraint or surveillance over his pris- Oner. If the prisoner could be trusted to be left alone, why the expensive ceremony of a guard?
 While in Prescott we met Mr. Col lins, merchant of Cedar Valley, Mo. have county. who informed Us that both the mills in Signal were running and doing well and that the five stamp mill at Cedar Valley was shut down, and all the force put to opening up the mine. Mir. Collins reports the prosper ity for Mineral Park, Signal and Cedar aS unusually good.

Reoubhcdn Convention.

The Miner states that last week a number of Republicans met at the office of Judge Hargrave for the pur- pose of selecting delegates to attend a Republican Convention at Tucson on the 18th inst. Hon. Thomas Fitch was selected as Chairman of the Conven- tion and k. II. Walker, Secretary. Twelve persons were elected to repre- sent Yavapai County at the Territorial Convention, when two delegates are to be selected to represent the Territory of Arizona at the Republican National Convention at Chicago in June. This we consider quite an important move, as it will give Arizona the same voice in the Chicago Convention as that ascribed to the State of New York or any other State. Resolutions were introduced and passed instructing the gentlemen who may represent the Ter. ritOry in Chicago as to their duties in sad convention

The Los Angeles Commercial says Not less than five millions of dollars were sent out during the past twelve months from Arizona and ten millions will be d low estimate for the next years production. This great activity is being felt in all the channels of trade; rolling mills, fOundries and ma chine shops are filled with active workmen, merchants are increasing thelr business, farmers, gardeners and orchardists are receiving increasing pay for their products and idle capital is finding profitable employment. And upon this this the Arizona Silver Belt says "the Commercial struck the nail on the head, and not Overestimated the capabilities of Arizona mines"

Pleasant Lines From the Pueblo Hejo
 Valley.

A Herald correspondent gives the following notes from the section of the Glla valley in the vicinity of the thriving town of Stafford which are very encouraging to the agricultural interests of our Territory. The writer says: All frontier communities have their dark and their brightdsys. There are times when hope is spread over the bright horizon of the future and also times when disappointment and mis- fortune crowd every prospect and crush the hopes of the frontier men. The Gila valley, or Pueblo Niejo, was settled seven years ago. It was then surrounded by hostile savages and cut of from other settlements by great plains and deserts. Now ten thousand acres of land are under cultivation and are irrigated from the rapidly flowing river that passes through it.
 'AAN"'i baiiO1f oSauS, OulOIS, dlldlld, pumpkins and even potatoes are now
 produced in abundance. In extent Ot farming lands and in the abundance of water il is surpassed, in this Terri tory, by the Salt river valley only. Stafford lies 9 miles above Camp Thomas. It contains one flouring mill. store, hotel, saloon, blacksmith shop and schoolhouse. Mrs. Johnson, al lady from Mississippi, is teaching an excellent school here. Mines have
 been discovered here on the southern slope of the White mountain, ten miles north of Stafford, in Apache county. Al mining district called the Lone Star was recently organized there. With agricultural, mineral and pastoral re- sources and with mountains covered with timber and abounding in flowing water, it requires no prophetic vision to predict the bright future of this country

MR. M. T. BROWN returned from Patagonia Tuesday evening, and re- ports things booming in that camp. On Monday about ten lots were sold in the new town of Harshaw, and numerous transfers of real estate are daily made. Work on the Hernosa is progressing nicely, as are also the preparations at the mill site.
