Colorado Riter and NiciHitr.

ItEt-t1Lf AlleT.
 Mir. |. $. Jackson, just arrived here from the Colorado river section, fur nishes the following items of news:
 Quite a large immigration from the line Of the railroad and other points, to San Bernardino, Cal, has been going on during the last few months, owing to the rich finds in that county.
 Considerable excitement has been Oc- casioned by discoveries in tine Calico mountains. Several claims have bonded for large money. Ehe strikes are prin. cipally gold.
 A rich mineral district has been dis covered by some ELe1.as$r 6'rospectors Sios. os si------ss,se of the railroad, about 'nve' ii1les from the Needles on the Col orado.
 The new government buildings at Camp Mohave are almost completed They are built in a very substantial manner and calculated to hold out against the storms, that usually destroy them, the roofs being fastened to the walls with heavy iron bolts.
 The station keepers at Cottonwood were considerably scared on Thursday night by several characters who acted as though they wanted to steal something
 The Colorado river IS very low, but the storms and winds range high.
 During the past few weeks travel to and from the Needles, on the Colorado, has been lively, but as yet very few have decided to settle until something more definite concerning the railroad crossing has been decided on. The engineers have sounded, figured and calculated the crossing, and gone home. The principal obstacle Is the scarcity of rock iu that section suitable for the work.
 Tom Montgomery, one of the Lynx creek old timers, is prospecting in Mo have county. He speaks well of Iavapai. so do they all who leave us.

Mining Matters.
TGlobe Chroniele.I


 The Gila County mill is pounding away on Emeline ore, and producing a bar of bullion every week.
 The Buffalo smelter Is completed, and will be ready 70 begin operations upon the arrival of the boiler, which is daily ] expected.
 | Work is being pushed ahead on the | HOosler mine with encouraging results, and we understand that the representa- | lives of the company now visiting Globe are more than pleased with the future | outlook of the mine. It Is expected they | will make arrangements for the erefion of smelter before retuEainTf-Ea East.
 MT. J. T. ,RISSSS7fes, RSSS7f5e special agent for the ] l-lIrfe.i- res- Mill and Mining Company, arrived a few days ago, and while nothing defi- nite has yet been settled as to their fu- ture movements, it Is expected that they will join hands with the Centennial Company and proceed with the erection of the u,ii It Is also rumOred that the Centennial Company is negotiating the purchase of the Golden Eagle mill. In either event the district will derive much benefit, and our bullion output will be materially increased.
 The Blue Cap mine, located immedi- ately south of the Richmond, and owned by Mir Henry Risbridger, is looking ex- cellent for the amount of development, and bids fair to become a valuable prop erty. We noticed some good looking cropPings running diagOnally across the Richmond lode, and tracing them north a short distance, found the Victoria To- cated thereon. The several openings on tine surface indicate a permanent ledge between two good walls, from which some very high grade ore has been taken. \ force of men will soon be put on the La Plata, the eastern extension of the Mack Morris, and owned by that com pany. The next movement will prob ably be more extensive milling capacity.
 Accompanied by Mir Chas. F. Taylor, We had the pleasure of a trip into the country early this week, behind a pair of RObertsOn's lively nags. At Stanton we were invited by Major Baldwin to look through the Mack Morris mill which we found .in full operation, and running as smoothly as clock-work. We are indebted to Mir Walbridge, the eff cient foreman of the establishment, for showing us around. The neat and tidy appearance of everything about the premises reflects great credit upon this gentleman's capacity as a thorough mill man. The Mack Morris mine continues its regular weekly production of high grade ore, and under the supervision of Mir. West, the foreman, the work goes ahead steadily, and no doubt satisfac- torily, judging from the quantity and quality of ore on the dump. Three teams are constantly employed in haul ing ore to the mill, where 1t is at once converted into bullion, the average out put being nearly S6,00O monthly.

! Selfish General.


 One night in the spring of 1862 Gen. eral Richardson, who then commanded a brigade, took it into his head to in- spect the picket line Coming upon a reserved picket of about thirty men un- der command of a CaTtain of the Sec ond Michigan Infantry, the General saw fit to interrOCate as follows:
 Captain, in case of an alarm by the advance picket, what would y0u do?' Send off a reinforcement at once" "And if the firing continued?'
 "I should move up with the remainder of my force"
 And suppose a whole company of the enemy should press forward?"
 "We'd whip them
 "But if 1t was aregiment?'
 "Td form a line of battle and check them until I sent back and got orders to charge and capture the whole lot "Well, suppose a brigade should move down Ou vOu in battle line:'
 "Td order charge, split the column in two, and whip both halves m detail At midnight the brave Captain was re- lieved from further duty on picket. He was very indignant and considerably puzzled. but after thinking the matter over for while he said to a brother officer:
 Say. I've struck it, Old Rich was afraid my company might gobble the whole Confederate army and throw him out of a Summers job. If that ain't selishness then I'd like to know what is

How il iS Done in Mexico.

The railroad from Hermosillo to Guay- mas is being run under circumstances that seem somewhat singular to persons not acquainted with Mexican laws and customs. Upon completion of the road the company arranged thelr tariff and time table and began business, where upon they were notified to suspend tr.f- lie until the proper authority inspected the road and tariff rates and secured their approval by the general Govern ment. As II would require fully two months for this official to go to the City of Mexico, and an equal length of time to return, the matter became one of se- irons importance to the Sonora Railway Company At this junctuTe Gov. Ortiz came to the rescue of the company and assumed. officially and personally, the responsibilities connected with the Oper- atious of the road. and he now issues all tickets and permits for transportation. The passenger tickets are four by four teen inches m size, are covered entirely by writing and printing, and are signed bv the Governor and his Secretary, and the official State seal attached. This formidable document entities the holder to a ride of a few hours from Hermosillo to Guavmas.

The Letter "M" in the History of the
 NapOleOnS.

For ihe CITZES, by John A. Spring
 The letter "AI plays a great role in the history of the Napoleons. The first who discovered the genius of Napoleon Bonaparte, when at the Military Acad- emy, was Marboeuf. The first great bat tie of the young General was Marengo. MOrtier was his truest General, MCreau his traitor, Murat his first martyr, Maria Louise the companion of his fortune, Moscow his perdi;ion. The names of six Marshals and thirty Generals Vf divis- ion commenced with an Nj. His first battle was near MOntenotte, his lust near Mont St. Jean; Le won the battles of Millesimo, Mondovi, Marengo, Moskowa, Montmirail and Montepeau. Milan was the first, Moscow ti e last capital he con- quered. In diplomacy he was beaten by Metternich; his last residence in France was Malmaison; Montholon and Mar chand were his servants at St. Helena; Murat and Marmont were the first to leave him. Through Mioliis he took the Pope prisoner; through Menon he lost Egypt. Three of his minister's were Maret, Montaliyet and Mallin. Montes- quien was his first gentleman of the chamber.
 And what became of Napoleon III, the husband of Madame Moutijo, after Mars Ia Tour and Metz, through Moltke, Manstein and ManteIffel, in spite of McMahun and MOntauban?

By way of general charity for the af- hicted race, and as a special dispeusg- ton for the Russian Jews. who are thus maltreated, Lawrence OiiuhaIt, a large hearted Englishual. and others with him, have sought Co secure concessions from the Ottoman Government for tle re-cstablishment of the scattered He- brevs in Palestine Their restoration will be clearly the fultillmeut of Old Testament prophecy, but this move does not seem tO be particularly the lnspir1- tIou of the present movement. The scheme asks nothing of the Government save grants of land in Syria, atthe Porte'S choice, and the aSsOclatc- promise to spend Ej,WO0uJ in settling Jewish colo nists on them and developing thc ra- sources Of the country. or course, taTs implies permission Go construct tle u,- cGssary public works. The condition cf Syris is said to be very favorable iu many ways for sucu an enterprise.

The Divine Art.

Tucson Is as great lover of music and the drama as any other city, when the right kind is offered by competent ar- tists and amateurs. A good programme, backed by a well organized company, will as readily draw full house here as anywhere oI the coast. In connection with this, We will remark that the forth coming concert at Levin Hall, on De cember 9th, will be the most enjoyable entertainment of the kind ever witnessed in Tucson, and our citizens should turn out en masse and by their presence en. courage those who are trying to popular ize this high class of entertainment in our midst. Each holder of a ticket will he entitled to a seat at the concert, but those who desire to have choice seats re- served can secure the same on Monday and Tuesday next at Berger's iewelry store by paying 25 cents extra.

Compressed Fuel From Coal Dust.

An interesting process for preparing compressed fuel from coal dust has been devised by MT. l.. Trallo. The dust is placed in an iron vessel provided with an archimedean screw and heated by means of steam. As the vapor is driven out of the dust, it is withdrawn from the apparatus by large air pump, and at the same time a certain dIstillatiOn of the volatile portions of the coal takes place. which renders 1t somewhat cOhe- sive. It is then pressed into bricks of a suitable size by means of a steam ram. The fuel thus prepared Is said to give general satisfaction in Germany, where the process is quite extensively used. 4 detailed description of the process of the mechanical welding together of va rious solids, will be found under the head of Mechanical Progress in thIs issue Of the Press.

The differences between the Mexican Government and the Sonora Railway are virtually as an end, and it is prob able that the work of construction will soon be resumed. It arose through the following facts. The first railroad con ces=ia1 by the Mexican government was made lu I-af to Blair t5 build from So- nora uol-h to Calahasas. This was lost through uau-sulGlimeut of its condi- tious, but was followed by renewal of the concession to Comacho & Ferguson, who transferred their right to the So- nora Railroad company. After work had been commenced the company ap- pheJ Iar a further concession for a road to Ll 2aso, intending 1t to be branch road. The Mexican government, how ever, i- is held, cancelled the original contract and I-li them only the concession from GuaylaS to Fl Paso. This action Of the government Was not understood by the company. who continued the work uf construction ug Ter their first grant to- wards Naglalena until interrupted by thp authorities ILereupon the com pany sent Mr. Sym0us, their attorney, Go the city of Mexico, to look into the mat ter and have since received from hIm assurauces that a compromise will be speedily effected, whereby the main line of the road will be built to Fl Paso and a branch road from Hermosil.o Co Gala bassas.

The Belfast Journals funny man has been to Boston. He says: I heard a very affecting thing the day I came up. We were at Rockland and the steamer was blowing of, making noise enough to wake a policeman. \ man and woman stood taking on the wharf. He had his head bent down, and she was yelling something in his ear, when the steam steam suddenly shut of, just in time for everyone between Rockland and White Head to hear that woman say; " and don't forget, John, to put your thick red drawers on Sunday" And If John for got it, 1t was not because he did not hear what she told him"

Messrs. Alex. Mckay and J. A Roarl are in from the Old Hat District. and re port matters there as decidedly active Assessment worI, is being done on very many of the mining claims and occa. sional developments Of unexpected value are made.
 Considerable work Is being done at the Oracle, and its development is progress ing steadily.
 The Apache Girle recently sold to Eastern parties, is soon tO have a ten stamp mill. Six thousand dollars are in a bank in Tucson to prosecute the de- velopment of the mine.
 Very rich ore has beed encountered III the Old Hat mine while doing assess meut work. and 1t iS very promising claim.
 The copper property in the vicinity of the Apache, belonging to Mr. Stratton, has been bonded. Another mine there has been sold lately by Stegman & Dun- pby. The American Shield, on which parties took a working bond, has shown so well that the purchase money has been paid and the property transferred
 The New Year mIne, owned by Alex Mckay, Is thought to be one of the best claims m the District. His assessment work has developed five foot vein of excellent ore carrying both gold and sil- yer. His Christmas mine, near by, has shaft sixty-iive feet deep and an eight foot cross GUS Owing to the volume of water encountered, work has been sus- pended on this claim until pumping ma chlnery can be procured.
 \ copper claim, eight miles from Oracle, belonging tJ Schultz S Welden, shows an immense ledge, but there has been no work yet done on 1t.
 Many claims in Canyon del Gro are being worked, chiefly assessment work. The Capitan mine, belonging to Simpson and others, is showing a large body of ore.
 That district is showing mines of a permanent cilaiacier and it's chances far becoming one O. the first camps in the Territory are certainly very hattering.
