An Extinct Volcano.

There seems to be a range of extinct volcanoes lying nearly on the division line between New Mexico and Arizona, and possibly extending into MeIico. One of these craters that has probably never been mentioned in print, was ac- cidentally discovered by Mir. John T. Pantlind and John Vivian of this city, some time ago. They were returning from a prospecting trp Tn the Guada- lupe mountains, between Chihuahua and Sonora, Mexico, and went north near the New Mexican and Arizona line, on the San Luis range. They concluded to cut across to the Chiricahua mountains to save time and distance, and to reach good water. They followed no beaten trail, but took a general direction to reach them. They had travelled for nearly a whole day, large portion of the way over volcanic rock and ashes, and were making gradual ascent m their progress. Towards evening their horses hoofs would break through a light crust and sink nearly foot into the yielding ashes. Suddenly they came to the crater of an extinct volcano, about half mile wide and fully two thousand feet deep, the bottom being covered with a lake or alkah water They dld not descend the chasm, but urged on their horses to find camping ground. Mir. Pantlind still has piece of pumice stone taken from the crater.
 On the old Spanish smuggling trail, about six miles from this discovery, they also found a much wider crater, but it was not so deep, being probably eight hundred feet. This old volcano is well known to those who have travelled the old trail, but the first mentioned crater is in such desolate and barren country that it is probable no one has ever be- fore or since found it. It would be a point of interest to the tourist or man of science, and careful study of the prob able chain of eruptive mountains may lead to some interesting facts and theo ries concerning the geological develop ment of this comparatively terra incog- uita

The Pronosed Money Order.

The plan of simplifying postOffice or ders as proposed by POstmaster-General James is thus described:
 The blanks will have the figures 1, 2, 3 and printed in one column, the nine numerals in another column and again in a third. When postmaster prepares an order for use, he punches out in the three columns the figures making the sum desIred. In the g. blank there will be three ciphers printed at the bottom of the dollar column, and when 1t is de- sired to transmit the full amount of the order these will be cut out, No indica- ton will be made of the sender or the intended receiver. A stub on which the amount and the date will be marked will be the only record of the postOffice authorities. The time of their value IS to be limited to three months to prevent them from passing as currency. Up to that time they will be cashed at any postoffice by whOmsoever presented. They will be no safer to transmit than money, but they will perfectly, 1t is be- lieved, accomplish the object of en- abling peple to send away awkward sums without the inconvenience of signing and countersigning necessary to ob- tain and redeem money order, and the great amount of clerical labor which these involve to the department. The demand has been very great for some such system, and especially by persons whose business requires them to collect large numbers of small sums from peo pie out of their own place. It will be a

A Lying Correspondent.

Some one signing himself "Ibld' has written a letter to the Tucson CITIZEN which for plain, rrnmixed lying beats anything we've ever seen. What he says of the Fl Capitan, Missouri and Elm met would be all right if they were not used by way of comparison, to the detriment of the South Pioneer. The Fl Capitan is an old mine, with good deal of development, and of considera- ble value; the Missouri has comparative ly little development, but has wonder ful showing of rich ore. It is mine of great prospective value. The Pioneer has over 300 feet of workings in which an ore body, compact and solid, shows, which varies in width from one foot to four. Its averages run above S2OO per ton. It worked considerably more than that. It IS one of the best showings for a rich and permanent mine in this Coun- ty. It Is owned by men whose character III this community stands SD Tar above such sneaking liars as "Ibid" that they cannot be successfully assailed. The ore is base, 1t is a sulphuret; but it's base ness makes it, in our opinion, necessary to work 1t by the Invitation process, which Is the cheapest known, and ire quently the closest. If 1t were half as base as the heart of Ibid" nothing good could be gotten from it. We have stat ed that there was over half million in sight-we would go before any Justice of the Peace, any moment, and swear that we believe tie statement to be true. The mine has water in it, but if water can be hoisted 2000 feet on the Comstock there Is no reason why it cannot be hoisted hundred here. Ibid says that the Silver Belt has received shares for pulling the stOck--again he lies; the Belt has never received share from the company, and its books will prove the statement. In view of the fact that every man who has examined the mine praises it unqualified, Ibid's statement would seem to be prompted by black heart, and proves him the possessOr of a badly warped judgment. The s. Pio- neer Company has paid all its bills, has money in the treasury, Is selling stock, has ordered its machinery, and cut enough of its own lumber to supply it for long time. We say that the South Pioneer is a good mine, and that "Ibid" IS poor har.-LGlobe Silver Belt.
