Big Strike in the sulphuret.

The Tombstone Epitaph has the following particulars regarding tie new strike in the Sulphuret mine:
 After cutting the station in the 500- foot level of the main working shaft a cI0sscut was started east, and almost at iis inception the face went into a massive bOoy of rich carbonate ore. The fact was communicated alott (as OUT Maine fricuds would say) in the Captains cabin, and as the cToSscut was pushed forward in the rich stutf the interest grew so great that every exertion was made to push the face as rapidly as possible. The face of the crosscut is in ten feet of solid carbon ales, and no prospect of abatement. Several assays were taken of the ore, some of them gong well into the hun dreds, and it would be low estimate to place the value of the ore body at $50 per ton.
 The Sulphuret lies in a most favOra- ble position, being bounded on the east by the West Side and Tough Nut, un the north by the Tranquility and Head Center, and on the west by the Flora Morrison, and having for near neighbors the Contention and Grand Central on the southwest. It Is thought by many that the strike of yesterday is the famous west ledge of the. Grand Central. The management of the Sulphuret has been character ized by energy and intelligence, backed by ample capital, and yester- days work places 1t among the fOIe- mos. mines of the district. It is an- other evidence of what well directed work will doin our mines. The good fortune of the company marks an other epoch Tn TOmbstone's progress, and should stimulate our mining men to renewed exertions.
 The effect of the strike was magical on the employees of the company, from Superintendent Farrell and Fore man Hank Lowrey down tO the tool boy. The find was chrIstened in sparkling champagne, and good hu- nor was manifest in every face.

So long CE inc corner marked ; l. and $ W remain south of both those marked \ E a.d \ W, the names of all the corners remain unchanged and with the \ W corner unchanged in position and name, the line from 1t 10 $ " corner can swing from w . W to ESE.
 Another node is the three stakes on each end and no side stakes, etc., etc. Often there will be found differ ent modes in the same district, caus- ing still greater uncertainty 10 the prOspector, who soon tires of spend ing most of his time tramping on rocks to find out what ground the monuments belong to, or of cracking rock and discovering brilliant pros poets on what he afterwards finds out 10 he other peoples property. So he soon packs his traps aud quits the district with damn such place, the whole country is monumented.' A stake on the center of each end line is needed Co show the lode line, which IS the fixed base of the claim, and should not be swung, and side stakes are needed to show whether the side lines run straight or crooked to accord with a curving lode, and also 10 en- able an explore 10 readily see that ground is claimed which he might easily miss seeing on rough broken ground if a stretch of 1900 feet were unstaked. The need of corner stakes is plain. The Greaterville system will be readily understood by refer ence to the following two diagrams, viz
Arizona weekly citizen., 1881-03-20
Stalking Claims.

EDITOR CITIZEN: We call attention to the new method of stalking claims adopted by the Greaterville District, as shown by ,heir laws published in another column. IL Is simple, easy and does what is required perfectly. It distinctly marks the boundaries of ,he claim, as required by the United States law; II prevents other locators from ignOrantly running adverse lines, and enables the exploring prOspsctor tO know, from seeing any one of the stakes, where ali the clsim lies ex- aetly. None of the present modes does al this. IL is greatly to the in tcrest of the countTy-ot every minIug district, and especially of every pros peclor that such pTospector shall be able tO learn, with the least possible waste of tune and labor, what ground IS already claimed, and the. eloTe uot open to prospecting by him. One present mode Is pile of stones, or Q stake, at each corner, with DO mark as Co what it is, or belongs to, the no- tice being at the discovery shaft, which inc diScOverer has to find as best he can, often at the expense of a good deal oi time and trouble in a search over possible circle of 5000 feet diameter in broken ground. An other mode is three stakes or monu- ments, sO-called, on each side; this is sometimes better, sometimes worse, than the other, as when he finds the second pile he is uncertain as co whether they belong to the same CT different claims. or as tO winch way the lines run from either or both piles whether he is on the end or side of a claim, etc, etc. Another mode is to mark the corners with a pencil mark or blazed stake, respectively, NV, NE, SW., SE. The pencil mark is soon efaced; and even if the marks were durably made they would not give a positive knowledge of the di- rection in which the lines run from any such stake, for great many men are uncertain as to the points of the compass, ard even If the stakes arc correctly marked, the lines may swing nearly twelve points Of the compass, as will be seen by the diagram:

THE NEW CHAR.
Life and Character of Alexander tho
 Third.

By the death of Alexander II his second and eldest surviving son be- comes Emperor of RussIa He bears the same name as his father, and will be known as Alexander III. He was born on March 10, 1s4j, and was married on November 9, 1866, 10 the Princess Dagmar, daughter of Christ ian IN, King of Denmark, and sister of the Princess of Wales. The im- perial couple have four children Nicholas, born on May IS, 1868, and George, Xenie and Michael. Alex aRder was made Hereditary and Grand Duke April 24, 1865, after the death of his elder brother, the CZarOwitZ Nicholas. Politically the late and the present Emperor were opposed. Alexander II never forgot that he was nephew of Frederic William " and William l of Prussia, while the Hereditary Grand Duke has thus far been noted for his anti-German views and devotion to Pan Slavism. The assumption of the imperial respOnsi- biliiy will probably moderate his course, though it is unlikely that the close alliance between Germany and Russia, so carefully maintained by the father, will be continued by the pres ent representative of the house of RomanOH. Russia has ceased to be governed by German. She will now be ruled by Muscovite. There have also from time to time been ru- moTs of serious disagreement be- tween the late CZar and hIs heir as tO domestic as we'll as foreign policy. If they are well founded, the change in the government will be acceptable to the great mass of the Russian nObil
 ity. The new Emperor has been cred ited with an undue haste 10 seize the reins of power, and of desire to bring about his fathers retirement. This condition of affairs has more than once given rise tO stories of ab- dicatiOn in favor of the young Alex ander, but they never proved to be we'll founded. He now mounts the throne over the dead body of a mur- dered parent, and taking all the cir cumstances into account, it will not be strange 1T his name be linked with the terrible crime of Sunday, though he be perfectly innocent in regard 10 the matter. For a time all will probably go we'll with Alexander III. By contrast with his predeces- sor he is liked by the nobility, pop ular with the army and looked to with hope by the patriotic Russians. -[San Francisco Chronicle.

Plunny-

Mr. Bolan introduced a bill 10 ea- tabhsh navy yard at the mouth Df the Santa Cruz river, and to appro- priate S1, 100000 therefor from any funds that may ever be in the hands of the Territory; anf to protect tie ancient and honorable pueblo of Tue son from COW boys.
 The above is a sample Of the bi!ls introduced n our Legislature during the past twenty days. It was doubt- less intended to be funny. If futuge legislators should be no better than the present average, there will beia better chance for knSvery and imbe- cility than for navy yard even 'coF- boys" would be an improvement oyhr some of them.

Enpar,lonable Cruelty.

Every day we meet some striking example of parental cruelty. Look at that young lady who cannot read 8 newspaper without the aid Of an eye glass. Al nineteen, toi Why: Be- cause her parents were cruel to her. She liked Co sit up late in the night reading fine print by kerosene lamp, and they had the cruelty Co let her do it. The worst possible cruelty is Co let children have their own way, when their own way does them harm. There is % lonely man in a handsome house, from whom his wife has fled, worn out by many years of abuse and violence From boyhood Co manhood that man was ru,Llessly spoiled by cruel parents. They hattercd him, laughed 90 his outbursls of passion, supported hun in his rebelii0us in science at school Now he is iutOler- able Co himself and everyone else. Better have killed him in bOyhOod than allowed him Co grow upSo. There are many forms of cruelty. Harsh words, harsh blows, harsh fare, all these are sometimes cruel; but ordi- narilv the pain they lnilict is Of short duration. The cruelty of which we now speak may give pleasure for an hour, pain for seventy years, and shame for generations. All sorts of evils result from allowing children Co have their own UWWIsC way.

our sonora Trade.

The rapid development of the mines within the sixty mile belt which has hitherto been avoided by American prospectors and capitalists will greatly increase the trade of Tucson. Some valuable copper mines have re- gently been leased about 90 miles southwest of this place by Eastern parties who propose to put up smel,- CTS near the mlnes at an early day A number of silver lcdges have also been opened which promise well There is no longer any doubt as to Americans taking hold of mining property on the neutral ground. They have been holding back for a long time, but now that they have taken hold in earnest it. will be rapidly brought out Our merchants will al- ways be able to control this trade, which will continue to grow as tbe country is developed
