Rare Minerals of Socorro Mountains.

ISpccial Cor. Ensineering and Mining Journsl.l The ores from the mines of the Socor- TO Mountains, New Ncxico, arc of espec- ial interest to the collector of the rare minerals of lead William NJ. Curtis M. E., General Manager of the Terrence mine, has detected the following miner als composed mostly of vandate of lead witb zinc, copper, and magauese: Des- cloiIte. vanadinite, dechenite. Wulfeu- ite also found in some of the veins. The new tunnel on the Merritt mine produces the finest specimens of the first t5rec. The crystals, though small, are aburuaot.
 As a general rule, the silver does not follow the lead ores, which rarely assay over 2D ounces, but occurs as argentite or embolite in small particles through the barIte gangue, associated with chaI- cocite or the carbOnates. The richest ore, assaying from 800 to 1O0J ounces, is a black undetermined mixture or silver, zine, and copper, with a very little lead While that part of the ore rich in silver carries hardly trace of gold, when the barito gangUe Is replacedfby iron oxides, assaying from to 20 ounces silver, gold becomes quite prominent, from a trace to S2l The economic value of these deposits will soon be established by the completion of the Terrence mill

Traditional Tombstone Amusem,nts.

The Nugget says: Yesterday after noon, shortly after l o'clock, a difficulty occurred on Allen street, below Fifth. between L. Rickabaugh and C. D. Dill; the choicest of Arizona adjectives rose dove-hke on the air, filling it with a blue and sulphuric haze, which would have filled the profanest type of the bull whacking tribe with calm cOmplacency. This state of affairs was caused by a business difficulty between tue above mentioned parties and was abruptly ter minated by Dil's drawing his pistol and striking Rickabaugh over the head with 1t; the force of the concession caused the pistol to explode, fortunately causing no serious results. The ball first struck the awning post to the left, in front o' A. COhn < Bros cigar store, the second door from Fifth street, on Allen. and passed in an upward direction through this and another post siI inches from the first, and then sailed in the direction of the Grand Hotel porch, close to the building Meeting with some obstacle it tackled, sailing west by nor'west and dropping till 1t encountered the further post in front of Kelly's Wine House and fell to the ground.

Ailempted Snicide.

Sunday evening about hali-past five o'clock. Mrs. T. H. COr-igan made a third attempt at suicide at her room on Allen street. near Second. In an inter- view with her the following facts were elicited: She attributes the act to de- spondency and a general feeling of dis couracemeut. At the time and on Q day mentioned she took from her trunk nickel-plated. H-calibre self-acting Colts revolver and deliberately placing it to her head, discharged it. Several persons hearing the report rushed into the room where they found her lying senseless. Dr. Matthews was immedi- ately sent for, and on his arrival it was found that the bullet had entered the right side of the head just above the ear. passing beneath the skin toward the front Of the face till striking the frontal bone above the right eye 1t crashed through glancing obhquely toward aud coming out of the center of the forehead. l. was afterward found imbedded in the wall above the bed. The wound is not necessarily fatal and the patient will in all probability recover; but may lose the use of her right eye. The doctor yester- day afternoon removed several large pieces of bone from above her eve, and says that the only danger to the eve will be from shattered pieces of bone being driven into it.

Thurs day last oar office was thrOnged with them, all on hunt for information con cerniug our mines and country in gen eral.
 The District Court meets on Monday week. The main case and only one of importance Is the Southern Pacific of Arizona, ys. the Texas Pacific Railroad. It is anticipated that there will be a great array of legal talent on both sides. There are other minor cases and several criminal cases, but outside of the rail way case, the term of court will be quite short.
 The Yuma mill and mining company has shut down, pending some dispute in the management. It seems some one of the company, who refused to con tribute when the expenses exceeded the income, IS now demanding the lions share of the profits. Hence the misun- derstandins. The suspension of work will be only temporary.
 The car-lcvel in the Black Rock mine, Silver District, IS now in lbs feet on a tive-fOot vein of pay ore. This vein lies next the fOOt-wdll aud Is only one of the probable innumerable veins of the ledge. Stopping Is being done on this level and a large quantity of ore taken out, there being some HOO tons of pay ore on the dump, not counting that which is adapt e1 for the concentration process. The bottom of the old Hughes shaft Is lu0 feet below the ear level, leaving fully 2-O feet of stope to the apex of the vein now being worked, which vein has a dip of 45 degrees. Night and day shifts are steadily driving ahead.
 The tunnel of the Silver Glance is iu POO feet and there IS still some lOOOr lJO feas to run before the intended cOuHcc- ticn k made with the shaft on the foot wall. A number of veins of good ore have been encountered in the tunnel and many more will undoubtedly be cut through in it's progress. The main ore chimney lies a little south of the tunnel and will be penetrated by cross-cut from the shaft.

Ar,nr1r fracas that come very I

4 FAMILY fracas that come very near ending in gore-bloody, fierce, prolific gore-took place at one of the proml- nent hotels of the cityyesterday. A cer.a Vi. D. came to Tucson with his wife ana child a month or two ago, and uas since been looking about for loca- tion at which to hang out his shlngle. He finally found the desired place at Fl Paso, and came here yesterday after his family. His wife. however, for reasons that the general public has no business to enquire into, refused to longer have anything to do with him, and told him SD. The usual scene transplred, during which the intimidating influence of a shotgun and the proximity of couple of policeman somewhat modified the wrath of the irate husband, and he was forced to abandon the hope of de- parting with the half that proved alto gether the better one. He, however took away the child, girl of five or six ears How the matter will eventually end IS beyond the conjecture of the CITIZEN prophet.
