ent on George Campbell.s Pen sacola North. Many of the boys here regard II Us the bes, prospect for its stage of development, in the camp. I visited the shaft, where there is q dunp Of over 100 tons of high-grade rock. ali taken from the 85,foot shaft and iO- foot cross cut.
 The Lafayette is owned by Morgan S Walker. IL hes between the Co. um. pia and Davis, and has 50 foot tun. hei i5o feet below the croppings, and looks remarkably well.
 Almost all the inhabitants of Wash. ington are young men, and there is m consequence an air of energy and
 giI up an git " that is mosi inspirit. ing. You see vim and snap in every luce, for your dawdling youth does not push out into the hills and hunt Tor the fortunes which Dame Nature has stored away for her fayorites; he prefers to slmper and smi.k behind Q counter in oiled shirt and store clothes, and his white hands won't stand the pressure of pick and shovel Leave hin, there; he is not wanted in the breezy mountains, where all the best qualities of man arc called out
 The postoiiice is in the charge Of ". 5. Hopkins, and consists of dry goods box, which is pushed under convenient cot after the mail has nightly been distributed among the boys" He is 8 fair type of the class of young men who will develop Wash ington if it is to he developed. h addition to having charge of the work on the Mark Twain and doing the assaying, he is the Justice of the Peace for the camp wLca offenders come 10 disturb the orderly course Of it's affairs. No lawyers are wanted here. The qui5blys and twists of pet tifoggers find no place in the delibcga- tions of lhe Court; but l venture 60 say that the offender rnds intelligent justice and quick decision. There is no f0olishness about the jail, either, for it consists of a stout tree behind the tent of the Judge, and ropes which it would not be healthy for any one to interfere with. Mr. Hopkins is firm in his faith in the camps wealth, and he pl!oted our party in our wander lugs, adding much tO our pleasure by his thorough knowledge Oi all the vari GUS claims Fl the vicinity.
 Mir. j. T. Joiner and his three sons, James, William, and Henry, are en- gagged il putting up a large ant sub stantial adobe building, 2jxj2 feet, which will be used when finished as a restaurant and saloon.
 \. ". Waite and T. II. Dill keep the hotel and saloon, and If there is no particular style about the hotel. they manage to infuse a hearty welcome and most courteous treatment into the strangers reception, while the food Is of lhe very best.
 Returning to Harshaw, had time 70 visit q claim near the Hermosa called the Independence. It lies be tween the Hardshell and the Salvador, and is an undoubtedly fine prospect There are altogether five openings on the claim, all showing ore. l. has two strong lodges carrying ore much ! resembling the Hermosa rock, one of which, at about the center Of the lOCa- tion. shows four feet of ore which as says from $3S 10 S+j. On inc main ledge there is a cut and incline at the east end of the yein,-which runs north and south and dips to the ea-i,- showing Ii feet of vein matter This assays low, but improves as depth Is reached.
 l have hitherto forgotten to tell Col. "Hardshell Joe Plummer's Tucson friends what he is doing. and when l say that he is looking after the inter- es,s of Ingram's popular stage line here. it means that he looks after its patrous as well. There's not young man in the Territory who has better reputation for all tine qualities which go 10 make a man than nervy Joe l Hummer.
 Before leaving Harshaw and Wash incton, the euterprising people are heartily thanked for their most gcner. ous treatment Of the first representa- tive THE CITIZEN has eyer sent among them. For subscribers for the Daily attest their appreciation of it's efforts to call attention to one of the most beautiful and richest sections Of our ] Territory. h.
