 EDITOR CITIZEN: When We read here about twelve cases of suusiroko in New York on the I2h instant, where they were so recently suffering from almost Arctic cold, we feel like congrelulsting ourselves upon our glorious climate. and writing others 10 come and share 1t with Us.

 But climate Is not all we have Co be proud of. We have inning sec ton second to none in the territory, and though it is quet now, angels are troubling the waters for our future welfare. Talking about ter, that is what the Warsaw mill is troubled about at present. There is ore plenty, and the pretty bullion should and would be rolling out freely but must wait for the rams, or for addl- tional water supply by digging or other means, when it will be rolled out like " buttermilk n and De equal ly refreshing.
 The Montana mine. the Yellow Jacket, the Idaho and other mines that l might mention, are big mines with big future before them alreaCy assured, and await only their utiliZa- ton by capital to stand in the front rank Of Arizona mines.
 Tue gold belt Of old Orc Blauco is beginning Co receive some of The at- teulion il deserves, and fine stamp mill is to be erected shortly. This will certainly be fOllOwed by others, for there is big paying field for their employment.
 Among properties in this district just coming 10 the front as one Ot the most promising for rich and big mine is the Blue Wing, belonging Co an Iowa company, represented by Captain Barker, an energetic, unOb- trusjye, pushing gentleman, who does more work than talk, and, with very little noise. is accom- plishlng a great deal; and l am glad tO note that Mr. John J. Noon, his foreman, recently opened up a large body of orc on the said Blue Wing mine, all of it good paving ore, and much of it assayinT an average of from $99 10 Sl05 per lon, selected specimens running well up into the hundreds. This mine Is showing splend;dly, not only for quality, but what is equally if not more desirable, for quantity also. Every indication shows the Blue Wing 10 be a cuntsct mine, that may even prove the banner mine oi thIs district, and certainly will take leading and promising position. What is needed here, as also in other districts Of Arizona, is steady work and efficient development of the mines. IL takes money, of course; bul, judiciOusly expended, 1t is money exceedingly we'll lad out. 1 hear very favorable rppnrIs tom the developments 0n The Dictator and BhslOn, belnuging (" NIT.
