Letter from Mr. C. R. Drake.

EDITOR CITIZEN: The obsequies of the late President were very generally observed all over the South, and a uni versal feeling of sorrow prevailed, Nashville was very profuse in her deco ratIons Of mourning over the event, winch l assure you was very gratifying.
 l have been CD a trip 70 New York, and there met quite a number Of Ari- zouans, a majority of whom were our toWnsmen. among which were Governor Mccormick. Dr. Lord, Steve OChOa, Colonel Haskell, Hugh Farley, William Zeckendorf, Jake Frank. John H. Galley, and others; l also met john J. Deviue, Recorder Sf Pimal county, all of whom, except Governor Mccormick, were there on business.
 I left Alex Leviu's children in New York, and am glad to say that they are in good hands, and our old friend Alex. can congratulate himself that they are SD fortunate.
 My family are considerably amused and delighted with the country, but think there is no place like Tucson, and I, for my part, am of the same opinion. Tucson is the best place for its size for business that l have seen, and I am more attached to her every day. There is four times the amount of business done there according to its size than any place I have seen since l left. Remem- Der me to all old friends.

 The rapid progress towards compile ton of the several important railroad hnes that are tO connect Arizona with the States, Utah, the Pacific Coast and Mexico, marks that Territory with spe- cial interest and demands for 1t particu- lar attention from St. Louis. It is the most promising mining region in the country. Its deposits of ore are known to be enormous, and it IS certain that as soon as these deposits shall have been made accessible by railroad, they will be developed into rich and productive mines, supporting a large and enter prising population and yielding large dividends to their owners. NIT. E. F. Blyins, lCng engaged in mining on the Pacific coast, who IS now in St. Louis on his return to Arizona from Philadelphia, where he successfully organized the Gunsight Mining Company, predicts a prosperous future for the Territory when the admirable system of railroads building through 1t shall have been com pleted and the new mines now being opened and organized shall have been brought under vigorous working ar rangement. The Gunsight mine has been shafted and drifted to an extent that shows 1t to be an lneXhaustible de- post of ore worth on an average 50 per ton, and as the company owning # are now preparing to erect a large stamp mill and have all the working capital they want, it IS probable we shall, in the course of the next twelve months, hear some good repopts of 1t. The Tomb stone mines and the mining districts of Southern Arizona, hitherto almost over looked, are rich m mineral also and des- tined to yield large amounts of treasure. St. Louis Is the large city in the States that lies nearest to Arizona, and 1t Is here that the large future trade of the Territory ought to come-and 1t is here 1t wlll come If the business men and capitalits of our city put forth the prop CT efforts to secure it. l. might be thought that the mining trade of Ari- zoua would go to San Francisco; but the truth Is San Francisco has uniformly treated the Territory with unfriendliness and forcedits people to look eastward, instead of westward, for their business connections-andth this, together with the easy railroad relations about tO be opened between the Territory and St. Louis, IS one reason why the goods and machinery needed in the Territory ought to be procured in St. Louis and a large share of its ores brought to St Louis for reduction. It may be taken as an assured fact that an early and liberal cultivation Of business relations with the Territory will bring to our city a large and profitable trade, and for this reason measures ought to be taken to establish such relations at once.

Mining Matters.
lGlobe tbronicle.l

lGlobe Chronicle.l
 So far far as we have been able to learn, there have been no material changes in mining developments during the past week except the closing down of the Silver Nugget, Mineral Creek and McNilIen. Work on all the other prop critics under development IS progressing favorably, and very encouraging reports are received from every direction. The negotiations pending for some weeks for the purchase of the Miami mill have been closed, and the Gila Mining Com pauy will. in another week, be added to the list of bullion producers of Globe District. The mill IS being put in thor ough repair, and will be ready to start up in a few days. There is about 800 tons of ore to start on, and Superinten- dent Clark anticipates no difficulty in keeping the ten stamps constantly sup piled with good ore from the Emeline.
 At the New York mine, belonging to the Old Dominion Company, a new and extensive ore body was encountered a few days ago, in the drift north from the shaft. It is about 3G feet below the sur face and has an indication of opening into the most extensive ore body yet found, and there is hardly doubt but that the immense quantity in sight will be sufficient to supply the smelters for at least six months. There Is already on the dumps of this property about of 1000 tons, which will probably aver age from 3D to 3j per cent. copper. Grad ing and stone-cuttiug for the smelt- CTS is being pushed ahead rapidly. Mr. Wm. Edwards, who has had large expe- rience in the construction and running of smelters at Swansea, is in charge of this work and prOnOunces the machinery equal, ii not superior, tO any he has ever seen. It IS the desire of the superin- tendent to start the smelters Un or about the first of next month. With the haul ing of wood, lumber, charcoal and ore, making roads, etc, the camp presents a very lively appearance.
 Recent developments on the Little Chief are very encouraging. In addition to a thirty-foot shaft, from which a good

SHAKESPEARE.
The Now Shelter the Miles Look An En-
 tsrprising Firm The Indian Question

Mir. Thos. H. Williams returned from Shakespeare last Friday, where he had been experimenting the erection of rna- chinery of twenty-fve-ton smelter for the Shakespeare Consolidated Smelling Company. This smelter is being erected one-half mile from Shakespeare, and when completed it will start upon cus- tom ore. The engine, boiler, steam and well pumps are in place and the furnace, stack and dust chamber are about com pleto. A heavy and unexpected ram storm destroyed two thousand adObes, which will delay the completion Of the building until new ones can be made. A lack Of lumber also prevents the com pletion of the works. 50 soon as these are supplied Mir. Williams will return and assist in starting tue smelter. The company has eight or ten carloads of coke ready to start up the works.
 The mines about Shakespeare are looking exceedingly well, and develop ments bring forth better class of ore than that near the surface. Among the mines visited, Mir. Williams represents the Last Chance, property of the Good Hope Company, Crosby supennt, ndent, as being one of the most promising. Eighteen hundred tons of ore are on the dump. The double-cOmpartment work ing shaft has been well constructed and the developments are being made sys- tematlcally. The foreman of the mine told Mir. Williams that different class of richer ore had been encountered at 13O feet in depth, which promises very fattering assays. Machinery will be erected to properly work the mine. At present all the hoisting IS done with whnn, but steam hoisting works will soou be put In. Mir. Crosby is now in Denver and will probably bring the ma chinery back with him.
 The Viola mine, Amos Green, Super mtendent, is now putting up steam pump to relieve the mine of the water. \ new working shaft Is also being sunk. This mine has a shaft 130 feet deep, and the property bids fair to become very valuable.
 The Atwood, superintended by the Hart Brothers, has a steam holster, now being made use of to crush their ore, which is sacked and sent to Denver. Three hundred tons are on the dump classed in three grades. Samples from the third class give over forty ounces in silver to the ton, and also runs from 20 to 9 per cent. in copper. It Is good smelling ore.
 Other mines not visited by NIT. Will jams, were generally reported as looking vel, l,and considerable development work was being done.
 Messrs. Smyth lS Carroll, the leading merchants of the place, have a good store well filled with goods. They run a daily stage line to Silver City, and twice each day to Lordsburg. Mr. Harry Lewis, formerly of Tucson, is book keeper for the firm.
 New buildings are being erected, and the place las assumed quite an air of business importance. The people have little to fear from the Indians, and are unanimous in the opinion that the h. dian difficulties have been greatly mis- managed. They speah in terms of com mendation on the independent stand taken by the CITIZEN on this subject, and appreciate both its firmness and its general newsy character.

More Evidence Of Encouragement.

More Evidence Of Mismanagement.
 A correspondent sends us the follow ing;
 Gen. Carr reported the machinations of the medicine man to Department headquarters August list, and stated that he had not sufficient force to take any offensive steps and was referred to the agent.
 August 18th, Gen. Wilcox ordered him to arrest the medicine man and at the same time informed him that two more troops had been ordered to report to him and that company Of infantry had been ordered tO Ash Greek to guard the road.
 Gen. Carr did not like to attempt the arrest with his small force and waited for the medicine man to come in-hop- ing In the meantime that additional troops would arrive.
 These promised endorsements dId not reach Fort Apache until September 1, and no information was given to Gen. Carr in regard to the change of orders.
 Instead of sending endorsements, one company of infantry was ordered from Fort Grant to Fort Yuma, at the very time Gen. Carr was daily expecting an increase of force.
 The medicine man took advantage of this and made the Indians believe that his power had caused the troops to be sent away and that it was the beginning of a general leaving and that all the whites would follow as soon as corn was ripe.
 The scouts were in the habit Of laugh ing at roll calls, at the little knot of sol diers for duty in the one infantry company at Fort Apache.
 Sometimes there was only sergeant and one man after Gen. Carr started for Cibicu. Those at Fort Apache expected every day that the promised two troops would arrive. No one had been informed that they were ordered back and every one felt certain that they would arrive.
 Would not a competent commander have managed tO get cavalry companies across rivers when needed? And would a competent commander have allowed a post in the very heart of disaffected country to remain almost defenseless?

THE Apache campaign would be a rare

IRE Apache campaign would be a rare comedy if 1t did not endanger the lives of so many settlers. The spectacle of a large body of Indians leaving their res ervation and traversing several hundred miles unmolested by the watchful mili- tary, is something as comical as the martial scenes in opera buffe. Agent Tiffany lays the blame of the escape from the reservation upon Gen. Willcex. The latter intimates that the agent has played double game. There IS a chance here for some thorough investigation. As the Chiricahuas have all Sonora be- fore them where to choose a hiding place. it will probably be found a waste of energy to arouse Mexican jealousy by following them over the border.- San Francisco Chronicle.

Governor Gosper has telegraphed the following to this city from Prescott, dated October Sth: "Oury was author ized to organize volunteers and limited to thirty arms, not men. Will call the company any time to protect settlers wbere and when needed, but not to make aggressive war generally, unless at the request of the military or utter fail ure on their part to cope with the red devils.

LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE.
Department Headquarters.
TUesox. Oct. 10, 1881.

TUGsoN, Oct. 10, 1881.
 ED. CITIZEN: Again the removal of military headquarters to Tucson is talked about Each year for several past, this same talk has occurred. Is 1t not gen. orally revived by military officers? And is it, or is it not, revived each time when they are bidding for flattery and unmer- ited praise? And do you know of any right-thinking man who believes that the commanding officer of the Depart ment of Arizona could locate headquar- ters here if he were sincerely desirous of doing 1t? Is he not in about the same fix in this business as was Satan when he offered the whole world to Christ if the latter would fall down and worship his satanic majesty, who didn't own q foot of land? Do headquarters belong to the Department Commander and staff? or are they the property of the people who paid for them? Are Depart ment headquarters to be used as clubs to compel adoratiOn in Prescott, and as offered bribes to procure and secure sycophantic praise in Tucson? Is it not humiliating, not to say disgraceful, to Tucson, that 1t should go abroad that even a small number of the people here are willing to compromise their indepen- dence and have just criticism suppressed for the mere empty promise of having Department headquarters here? *%
 True as Preaching
 EDITOR CITIZEN: The Daily Star of yesterday says: ''The Star has been with the people, and the people with the Star. Every vote had in Tucson on any pubic question, upon which the people have been divided in opinion, the Star has always maintained that side which has been sustained by majority of the people"
 That the Star has always maintained the side, If able to discover it, sustained by a majority I extend an unquestioning evidence. It Is q way some papers have, to nose out the scent of the popular footstep and follow it, like a blood hound on Cuban "nigger's" track, no matter whether 1t exhales the purfume of ottar of rOses or emits the nauseous odors of decOmpOsing dung heaps. With the people divided in opinion the ques- tion Is, not who is right, but upon which side will the majority array itself. This satisfactorily ascertained there is a class of journalists unhesitating in advocacy of the popularly stronger position whether right or wrong. Y.

The soft chalky carrying about S20 per ton in gold and silver. suddenly terminated at a depth of 140 feet, and the shaft entered black sulphurets of high grade, similar to the top rock of the mine, which extends across the full width of the shaft.
