Work to Do.

Not long since we called the sttsn- tion of our citizens to the necessity ot taking some action toward securing 6 charter, and taking the preliminary steps to build narrow gauge railroad to the Deer Creek coal fields. The importance of such a step cannot be overestImated, and we trust no time will be lost in taking such action ss the importance of the enterprise de- mands. Tucson, above all others, is the natural outlet for these coal fields. If we but half do our duty Tucson will become the great railroad center of Arizona, as she is now the com mercial center. But active work is necessary; we cannot sit idly by and depend upon our supremacy and nat ural advantages to build up our town, but we must take hold in real arrest and show our faith by works. There IS nO lON u lu luC OullSu OldttS Nnltu has brighter prospects than Tucson, but it remains with our enterprising citizens to say whether we shall re- main a commonplace town, or ex- pand into thrifty, growing city, the entreput of five or six railroads, with large reduction works for successfully treating all kinds of ore, with a United States assay office or United States Mint, with woolen manufacto- ries for working up our wool, ma chine shops capable of manufacturing every kind of machinery used in our mines, sash, door and blind factories with everything that is or may be needed for the development of our country and the advancement of our material interests.

WHEREVER the mines of Arizona have been developed to any consider able depth, they have, with but very few exceptions, proven richer in min- erals with increasing depth, and fore shadow a permanency completely at variance with all theories of scientists and experts. Even small prospects on the surface generally develop into good lodges at less than 200 feet in depth. This is true n ot only in those districts where the mining excite ment exists, but in all locations where mineral has been found. Tombstone has shown that her mines are practi- cally inexhaustlble; the Meyers Dis trict is showing astonishing richness; the Silver Bell and Silver Hill belt are adding to the wonders of the Ter ritory; Patagonia is proving the truth of her predicted greatness; the Cali fornia District is full of bonanzas; i; Dos Cabezss, Orc BlancO and Ari- vacs are fast growing in favor, and the rich leads of the Santa Ritas are beginning to show that they are not 8 whit behind the best. A large pro- portion of the work in these districts has been done by the poor pIOspectois without the aid of capital, and though necessarily slow, their persistent la Dor is beginning to show what our hills contain. Mines that to-day are worth many thousands of dollars were worthless prospects few months ago and the capitalist would pass them by without considering them of any val ue whatever. The few shafts that have been sunk here and there by de- termined miners are doing more to restore the confidence of capital in the value of our mines than whole volumes of theory, and the practical demonstration of their worth will soon bring almost unknown districts into the list of bullion producing camps.

Our Sister Republic.

At the rate the Americans are now going into Sonora and investing in mines and other property, it will noE be long before the American iufu- ence will be felt in our sister Repub- lie. Stages go down loaded with Americans almost daily, in search of mines, and many prosPectors who nave their own convcyances or pack animals find their Way iD. Many of these emigrants will become perma- nent cilizens. But % far as we know there is no disposition 10 assnme c"n- Irol of that country. They only wish to aid in helping 10 open up the mines and aid in developing the country but their influence, however, will be in favor of law and order, and VIC trust they may prove a valuable ac- quisition to the population of tha country.

A CORRESPONDENT of the Chronicle, under date ol the 4th inst, has this 10 say of Tucson: "This place Tesem- bles some old Oriental city-Beth- lehem or without walls the natives resemble the children oi the desert-the Arabs" Ii is pleas ant to have metropolitan correspon- dents come among us who have nc doutt travelled extensively in Asa visited ancient towns in the Holy Land, and who can so readily classify members of the human family. We believe a score or two of these so, called Arabs read the Chronicle, and it seems to us bad taste for that usu- ally intelligent journal to allow such stuff place in its columns.

TIE Milwaukee Sun tells this story :: A party of Sioux Indians were guests at leading Milwaukee hotel, and the ladies had great deal of amusement with them, studying their customs That is. they all did except one lady. The ladies called on the Indians, and the savages returned the call almost before the ladies got to their rooms. One lady called On a chief and then went to her room and retired, and pretty s Jn there was knock at the door and she found that it was the chief. She told him to come in the morning. The lady unlOcks her door in the morning so the porter can come in and build N fire before she gets up. She heard a knock, and suppOsing it was the porter, she said |, Come in" The door opened and in came Mir. Indian. She took one look al him and pulled the bed-clothes over her head. He sat down on the side of the bed and said, |" HowY" Well, she Was so scared she didn't know
 {" How from Adam. She sad Co him in the best Sioux she could com mand, "Please, good MT. Indian, go away until get up" but he didn't seem to be in a hurry. He picked up pieces of her wearing apparel from the floor, different articles that he didn't seem to know about where they were worn, and made comments on them in the Sioux tongue. The stockings seemed 10 paraly ze his un- uttered mind the most. They were these long, 90-degrees-in-lhe- shade stockings, and they were too much for his feeble intellect. He held them up by the toes and said, " Ugh!" The lady trcm bled and wished he would gU away. He seemed to take great delight m examining the hair on th bureau and looked at the lady ss much as to s.y, "Poor girl! some hostile tribe has made war upon the pale face and taken many scalps." Finally, sh' happened tO think of the bell, and sht rung it as though the house was or fire, and pretty soon the porter cam,

ONE of the pleasantest things told of Secretary Robert Lincoln. when he was a rosy-cheeked boy, IS an act of kindness shown to private soldier at City Point. A guard on duty had been wounded in one of the early en- agreements near Petersburg, and had returned 10 his post while still un- cured. One stormy day young Cap tain Lincoln watched the poor fellow pacing back and forth until $ kind heart could bear it no longer. He borrowed 8 prIvste's overcost and went out, insisting on taking the sol dier's place as guard. The man yielded, and for sn hour the Presi. dents son carried the gun and guarded the hsadqusrtsrS tent,

GIVING AND LIVING.

 To give
 Is To live. The flower shines not for itself at all It's joy is the joy it freely diffuses Oi beauty and balm it Is prOdigal, And it lives In the light it freely loses. No choice for the rose but glory or doom; To exhale or smother, to wIIhcr or bloom
 To deny
 ls 10 die. The seas lend silvery rays to the land. The land its sapphire streams to the ocean The heart sends blood to the brain of com mand
 The brain 10 the heart its lightning mo. tion: And over and over we yield our breath, Till the mirror is ory and images death.
 To live
 l. to give. He IS dead whose hand js not open wide To help he need Of a human brother; He doub.ss the leu gth Of his lifelong ride ho gives his fortunate placc to anoI her And a thousand million lives are his W ho carries the world in his synps.kies.

Companies with nominal capital had been or ganized, and circulars relating gilded statements were circulated Tn Eastern cities as bait to attract unsuspeeting investors, who only Iealized the bar reuness of their investment on visit ing the indicated claim.

The company owning the Old Do- minicn have purchased tEe Chicago and New York copper mines, located near Saxe's ranch, about seven miles from Globe. This company meSn to To do copper mining on large scale. These two parties, embracing the Olu Dominion and the New York and Chicago, cover vast deposit of cop per ore that wlll average 40 per cent. 1t is thought these mines are capable of turning out product equal to the famous Calumet and Hecla of Lake Superior. Work has already begun on these properties under the manage ment of Capt. $. L. Burbridge, the Superintendent of the company. Shelters 10 the capacity of sixty tons are to be cOnsu ucted, and as soon as they are in working shape, the smelt- m capacity will be doubled. Nor will the plans of the company stop here. They propose 10 increase the capacity of smelting as fast as the mines can be opened to supply the ore. The superintendent thinks he will be able to furnish employment To a large number of men in a short time. We had the pleasure of look ing over this property and inspecting the site for the smelters, Tn company with Superintendent iBurbridge, who evidently understands what he IS about, and we are satisfied that he will energetically push his proposed developments and improvements upon these most valuable copper mines.

PeriiOus Ride of n Party Of Engineers
Down the Columbia River

On the 18th inst. Mr.. Henry Thiel-
son, Assistant Engineer of the railroad
division of the Oregon Railway X Nav
lgation Company, with Il party of four
men, left the mouth of the John DAYS
river Tor the purpose of going down to
Cello. Shortly after starting a dense
log appeared in the river which rem
dered III impossible for the men i'm the
boat to distinguish the shore line, and
the increased swiftness of the current
of the river carried the boat along at n
speed not realized by the OCCUPANTS
until the harsh, dull roar of the water
as It dashed over the head of the cas-
cades below Cello was heard. and an
awful fate seemed inevitable. 1t was
useless to endeavor to bring the boat
out OF the whirling edslies that now
encircled it, and the rushing waters
seemed to be but playing with the frail
DARK, as every moment it was drawn
nearer ana nearer to an almost certain
doom, while the wild roaring of the
waters rs they dashed down into the
seeming abyss below seemed to hiss
ana sputter ana laugh in a perfect car
nlval OF terror as the terrified inmates
OF the boat approached the fatal spot.
Like Hash the boat suddenly darted
~ " .'> why StiuiSut 10 tllt IuIi-
one minute and the boat would be
dashed to pieces, but as if guided by
the hands of Providence, the boat
caught on II sunken rock Just ON the
verge of the fall, and laying there
swinging with the motion of the wa
tiers, but leaving the men powerless,
facing death, and while saved from il,
still unable to escape. 1t was at this
moment that new danger, and one
that made the certainty of being ear
ricd over the falls inevitable, now
presented Itself. Coming down the
river and almost on top of the boat was
discovered an immense foe of ice.
The almost certainty of death either
by being carried over the rocks OF else
crushed to pieces in the ice was only
left to choose, and before the engineer
and his party could realize it the ice
was upon them, and one immense cake
had shot under the boat, lifted it over
the sunken rock and ice, boat and men
were carried over the falls down into
the basin below and not n soul in
jured. IL was a fearful experience, an
event that not one of the party will
ever forget though they live to be
numbered with the centenarians of
future years. One in the basin below,
the party reached the shore and their
destination by overland route. .-Ddties

Railroad Building In 1850.

The Rdii,Cdy Age in the Forthcoming
number presents Il summary showing
the mileage of track actually laid down
i'm the United States during the year
1850. The footings are astonishing,
showing, rs they do, that not less than
7207 miles of new track were laid dur
ing the past II months on ut least 23i
different lines. These figures are
greater by 81 per cent. than that of
1879. The Age anticipates that the fl
nal figures will increase the grand to-
tai to 1900 miles, IA mileage greater
than has been constructed in the
United States or any other country in
any previous year. The only state in
which no work has been done is Mis-
sissippi, and the only territories are
Idaho, Wyoming and Indian, from
which railways are kept, although
eager to enter,) and Alaska. Another
year will show large additions in these
territories. Dakota leads the country
with $50 miles of new track. Texas
comes next with $50; then Ohio, 525;
New Mexico, $40; Iowa, AS; Colorado,
40l; Nebraska, 4S5; Illinois and Kan
sas, $40 each; Arizona, 200; and for the
western states all are prominent in the
list. The total mileage in the United
States is 3,79f, against 60,2s3 in 1871
and "a ,O96 in 1875.
