Although the times are hard and money is scarce, the proprietor of the Red House, Sacra-
 mento, Cal, never pays sny attention to the outward appearance of things, but goes right on in straightforward business way. In sun shine or lowering weather, whether the times are flush or depressed, there is no change in the purchase or supply of goods at the peoples fa- yorite purchasing depot, Nos. 7O6, 7l4, 7l6 and S4 J street, Sacramento.

DEERE & TOWNSEND MILL
The Ore it will Work.


 From Mr Derre, of the firm of Derre & Townsend. we learn the following particulars of their mill in Arivaca, which recently made its trial run, and gave perfect satisfaction to those inter ested. The mill has battery of ten stamps, two combination pans, and the necessary settlers. Ii has all the latest improved machinery, and will reduce twice the quantity of orc which mines with less modern appliances would Two large teams are at present hauling ore from the Austrilitz and Elizabeth milTis some nine miles distant, and will within a month have between five and six hundred tons On the dumps, when the mill will commence crushing the same. Until thar time 1t will work on custom rock. several parties having contracted for the reduction of some thing over 800 tons of Orc Blanco and Arivaca ore. The delay in receiving the necessary timbers prevented the mill from being completed as early as was anticipated, the difficulty in build ing roads to the mines has also retard- ed the delivery of ore.

The Mining Inch.

A correspondent 10 the Chicago Re view writes that there are SO many in quiries as to what Is meant by inches of water that it seems best to present the matter again. While it may seem useless to the miner, tlere are many persons dealing iu mines who know nothing about such measurements.
 4 constant pressure of six inches above the opening is the basis of esti- mate; for instance, A mansays he has or wants 200 inches of water. How can we measure it correcty-say with the agreed pressure of six inches, the water quietly flowing through all open ing of 1212 inches by lJ2i inches, will discharge 200 inches.

Our ProsperitY.

Arizona continues steadily on the up grade. The Tombstone district is advancing rapidly on record which is as yet without parallel in regions which, in our later days, have been developed altogether without capital
 There is nothing Tn mining history thus far which rivals the Conteu- tion mne. It is said that ten million dollars have been refused for it, though it is but in the infancy of it- development. We do not wonder aT this, in view of the magnitude and richness of the % body thus far dis
 closed. For the last twenty five yesrs many of jhe most rnterprising pros peciors on thls continent have main tained that Arizona l. the real treasure belt of the United States. Considering the mineral history of Chihuuhua, in the early days of the Spanish domina- ton. We should not be surprised to hear of the most phenomenal gold and silver output on record somewhere between Tucson and Santa Fe, near the Mexican line. It is just possible that in the Tombstone may be that charmed circle, although, On the other hand, the Tombstone may be merely one of Its outposis. The matter will not long be left to speculation, however, because prospectorS are pouring into Arizona and New Mexico in the numbers. which the cessation of Indian outrage now renders perfectly feasible, and which the imminent prospective devel- opments invite--Los Angeles Herald.

The ESneranza.

This mine, located Tn the Sierritas has its shaft down l52 feet. From the
 100-foot level a drift has been run par allel with the ledge for thirty feet, the entire distance being in good ore. In sinking the shaft, the first ihirtyfour feet was sunk in the high grade ore. averaging, by assays, $152 per ton. Al that depth a formation of pyrates of iron was encountered, which assaved only about $l6 per ton. This discour- aging vein matter continued for S. feet, when the shaft passed through it into body of ore about four feet wide. showing an average nf $136 per ton in silver, and carrying about 50 per cent of lead. The ore is of a character that will require but little trouble in smelt- ing, and will certainly yield a hand some return.

From the Sierritas.

Some very promising claims are be. ing opened up on the southwest side of the Sierritas, about thirty-five miles from this place. They are called the Paul Jones, Big John and Mountain Chief On the latter shaft thirty-fiv feet deep has been sunk, following the foot wall the entire distanee, and show ing at the bottom an ore vein eight feet in width. with n0evidence of a hang ing wall The assays give a result of $l34 in silver, with but a trace of gold. Considerable work has been done on the Paul Jones, from which assays show S234 in silver to $34 in gold. Work on the Big John is also advanc- ing very favorably The ledge upon which these claims are located is quite prominent, and extends through the entire 4j00 feet occupied by them. Messrs Matlock and Anthony are the Iocators and owners Of these promising claims, and have great faith in their permanancy and richness.

TornbstOue Mines.

The Mizzen Top mine, recently bonded by X. H. Slebbins, which IS now being worked, is showing vein across the shaft, at the bottom, of the same character of ore that is traced from the surface An average assay of S167, and they are now opening unon large body of mineral We term its location Mineral Hill, p where are located the Anchor. Last Chance, Allis. Luck Sure, Wedge, and other famous mines, and is within a stones throw of the Sunset.
 In the Head Centre, the first level is in carbonate ore, and is driftcd south forty feet on its way 10 the old shaft, which. when completed will be l90 feel. The second level IS down 210 feet from where there is prospect out of fifteen feet, which shows ledge six feet in width, pitching to 'he west, m which is free gold and horn silver, some the richest specimens we have ever seen in camp, and the vein matter shows up largely as fhe work ad- vances. The Head Centre will prove q valuable investment.
 Some gold specimens from the claim of Charles Rodig and others, about one and q half miles west of town, shown us the other day, resembles the gold rock of the Head Centre, and itI is thought probable tlat they are on the same ledge.
 On the True Blue two drifts are be- ing run. one to the east the other tol the west. These are esch twenty f, ct in from the shaft, and looking well. In one there is three fed Of ore in the face, assaying $400 Eael ton. Sinking was resumed on the Shaft on Monday, while drifting is beiIg continued. On the dump there is over a hundred tons of second-class ore that will assay high, while the firs-class ore will gnI about two thousand dollars per ton. Ot the latter, sacked, there is six or seven tons. In the mines bonded by ! NIT. Stebbins, some very rich strikes have recently been made On theI defiance, in Turquoise District, a tun- nel has been run twenty feet in ore twoi feet. wide, assaying $150. The San Jose properties are looking well. Work is being pushed on tue Gordon with good results.

LETTER FROM APACHE PASS.
Some More New Claims.

EDITOR CITIzEN:-Some few weeks ago two hardy sons of toll while pros pecting in the Dos Cabezas mountains, north of Ewell Springs, struck sec ond Tombstone. There are several immense lodges of gold and silver. Different assays from the New South Wales, owned by Messrs. Cook, Chatt- man, Blocksow and Dunn, went from $500 to 5000 One from the Calede. donia, owned by W. G. Rodgers and E. A. Jones, went over $6OO. There is great excitement; miners, and those who know, pronunce it splendid; there are a great many people coming in from all parts of the country. E. II Smith and w. H. Weeks, two mining experts, have visited the camp. You may expect to hear of some biz sales before long. More anon.

T.. =. Mining Laws Amended.

The following laws were published in the CITIZEN some weeks ago, but as there is constant inquiry for the law we repubiish it:
 The President has approved the fol lowing bill passed by the present Con. gress, and its provisions are very important to all persons engaged in mining:
 A bill to amend sections 2324 and 2325 of lhe Revised Statutes of the United States, concerning mineral lands.

This ancient, etc, pueblo Is getting uncomfortable. We observed this morning on the newly painted front of NIT. Welisch's White House the strange legend, " Post no Bills" And down one of our old familiar alleys is tin sign with the Twelfth Commandment, !" Commit no Nuisance" on its face.

HE CITIZEN.
Tho PIcacho Depot Matter.

TnE CITIZEN has already referred to fine establishment of depot for general business at Picacho, about twenty miles east of Casa Grande From Granville Wheat, Esq, one of the Final Supervisors and resident at Flor ence, we learn that it is the wish of the Florence people generally that it should be done. If it would better ac- commodate Florence to have a depot at Picacho than at Casa Grande, II certainly would do the same for Pinal' Globe, and other places in that direc- ton, and would render the one at Casa Grande unnecessary, so far as the country is now developed. Picacho would also better serve Tucson. A petition is being circulated here ask ing for depot privileges at Picacho. The Company is kindly disposed to all this section of country, and it is quite certain that it was disposed to make the change The wagon road from Plcacho is better and shorter to all the points named 10 the north and norlh- east. It would be to the advantage alike of the railway and its patrons to comply with the request of the peti- tioners, and there is little doubt but it viii be granted and carried into effect as soon as the rush at Tucson and the front is fairly over. But 1t is a good idea to have the petitions circulated and signed by all friendly to the change both in Pinal and Pima coun- ties.

\ Man of Mistake.

Tbe prOspectOr Is maj as full O
 mistakes as Job was full of trouble
 As rule hls life is se'ies of mis
 takes; it was almost g miitake when he was born, it was geat mistake when he lett the forge or farm to seek sudden wealth in mining amps. "ffI often makes mistake in thinking he has staked out lead the way il is run ming, or that he has leadat all. He mistakes a loose fOrmationfor rock in place, and shining mica fer the true metal. But the greatest mistake the prospector makes is m nd selling his hole in the ground when ie has far prlce offered for it. He may know in his own mind that he is unable to de veIop the mine; that it will requ re heavy machinery, such as engines, pumps anIs hoisting wOnls which in themselves cost modente fortune which he can never hope to be able to obtain, stIll he obStinatCy refuses to sell 10 those able to put uI these nee essary auXillaries to the oPAing up of mine, and sits down Ol piece of property that to him is no better than clay bank, waiting for s6neihing to turn up. Whereas if he lad sold he would have been able to leok for some
 'hing else; have something to live on, and not have to rustic fcr agrub stake. Truly the prospector makes many mistake.- Black Hills Enterprise.

 Work on the Hermosa mill-site IS rap
 idly approaching completion, and l
 believe the machinery for the mill is all on the ground. 1 did not visit the Hermosa mine, as l was informed that visitors were not admitted. 1t is not to be supposed that this exclusivenesS arises from the fear that the mine will not bear the most critical judgment, but is the dictate of a like sentiment to that which governs the children of the east in yelling their most precious beauties from the common gaze. Be yond what 1 have mentioned, and some prospecting, very little is going on in tbIs part of the district. Mowrey camp is very quiet, nothing doing, except little prospect work although l understand that Mr. Fish has just visited the camp for the purpose of putting some men at work on the Old Mowrey mine.
 It is claimed that some new and very promising discoveries have been made in this camp, but did not have time tO visit them. Four miles further south, in the same range of mountains is situated the famous Washington Camp. None of the mines in this camp have been thoroughly prospect ed, but about twenty have had con siderable work done on them and show splendid results for the amount of labor expended, in fact I doubt if it's parallel can be found any where The mines owned by l. L Baker and others. and known as the Pooled Group, are too we'll known for any comment of mine. The Holland. d noted property has recently been sold east, and is developing splendidly un- der the new management, with some, thousand to twelve hundred tons of line looking ore on the dump.
