Sonora Matters.

Nr. ?. Humberl, IT,, of Boston, who is managing the developments on the Las i Nueve AIinas de Santa Maria, in the
 Sierra Najre mountains of Sonora, is in
 the city on business connected with the property. He is about shipping from Benson the pumping and hoistins works for the mines, and will shortly begin the construction cf a mill The properties of this company are very valuable, and theleIEes are bold and strongly marked. Alr Robert [. Meyer, formerly of the Comstock, is superintendent, and his services are highly esteemed by the com pany.
 AIr. Humbcrt anticipates no trouble with the authorities or citizens of Sono- ra, and bc thinks gentleman of any nationality will always receive courteous treatment in Sonora so long as he is worthy of that name. The authorities are very stern i1 the administration of the laws and make no distinction of individuals who merit punishment.
 The infusion of American energy and capital into the characteristic somno- lt--Nt fl tue fNiEAt hA tLlhL toullIt IS the dawnin- of an era that is almost in- cunprelCnsible Co the native, who has always logged along through life with the least possible expenditure of physi- cal labor, procrastmatlou being regarded by hun as a virtue that is sacredlv ad- hered to. This, of course, does not ap- ply to all the people of that country. many of whom are among the most ac- tive and intelligent people of the world, but 1t holds good among the masses who are content to live generation after zen eratiOu after the manner of their sires. IL is gratifying Co observe a tendency in this class of persons, to graduallyfall in- Co the new order of things when its ad- vantaees are brought to their notice through practical demonstration. Thus. iu mining where the workman has al- ways contracted Co drill a certain num- Der ol holes for a stipulated sum of money and took his time Co complete the task, now finds a more profitable field in working by the day with an activity he had never supposed he could assume.
 Mr. Hgmbert speaks an terms of praise l of Grow. Ortiz with whom he studied in Germany, and believes that his admins | t-atIOu will be not only a successful one. l but that the State of Sonora, under his | able guidance, will greatly prosper.
 Ar. Humbert's compauySs composed | Of New York men of amvA capital to l conduct business on a lllautic scale. | and 1t is their intention t,e, work their !. solely as a legictnate busi- | ness, and 1t is therefore matter of cer- l talnty they that will succeed.

Ike SanbreiiIln Mining Co.

Nearly the entire amount Of mining machinery for the Sombretillo mining company has gone forward to the mines from this city. A ten-stamp mill with capacity ior twenty stamps will be erected at once. It is from the Pacific Iron Works of San Francisco. The hoist ing %0riksare already atthe mipa. Trse. rsl.e. machinery will be run by an SO-hurse power engine. The property of this company was secured through Mr. Wm
 Pickett, and it Is considered extremely valuable. Ancient works are still visi- ble, and the a-rastras used later by the MeXicans yet stand There are four or five shafts on the ledge, averaging one hundred feet In depth each. The ledge Is seven feet wide and yields ore aver aging nearly S@n per ton. It is all free milling and contains no metals but gold and silver, in the proportion of gold to 10 silver. The ore at the bottom of the shaft give promise of further improve ment. About SJh,OOO have been invest ed in Improvements in this mine and the company stands ready to increase the amount indefinitely to secure thor ough development.

pubii- LilTaTy.

The Astor Library in New York is one Of the largest iE the country, auI Listor- ical from the great names attached to it. Washington Irving was old Ilr. Astor's protege and be was assisted in forming the library by Bancroft, Halleck, Tick nor, Prescott, Ripley, and other literary men of the year l~i1. v contains now 2OOVn volumes. Tie contributions have been as follows: John Jacob Aston, Sf1HUD: William 5. Aston, S3l9.5l6: John Jacob As.or .ir., S35lUM. Total, Sl,lG9,JlG. This does pretty well for New York, a cummercIal city not much given to literary occupation. The British Museum occupies more than ten acres of land, in the center of London. and con taius tle historical treasures of the globe in statuary and books. Almost every book n the world can be obtained there, and the readiI --ruums, rCstau- rants and convenience, attached make it home for book-wurms It contains l,s1N03l volumes.
 The National Library iBIbiiCthegueJ of Paris contains something more than 2.OOlOW volumes. aud every European capital has a public library supplied by the State or by public donations, and public libraries have generally attracted an intelligent population. Students seek New York, London, Paris, Rome Berlin and St. Petersburg on account of the facilities for learning. Tn America the circulating library is to be found in almost every town oi 1000 inhabitants and over, the benefits o5 which are ap- parent in the general intelligence of the people.
 The proposed effort to purchase a public free circulating library for Tue son, connected with the public schools, to be managed unde- direction of the Board of Education, depends for is suc- cess in the beginning entirely upon the patronage given to tine series of winter lectures which are voluntarily given in aid of the funds necessary to purchase books. The first lecture will be deliv- cred at the Methodist church Saturday night, December 3d, at 7;30 o'clock. The Grand Llama of Thibet Hon. Charles D. Poston.

Gro BlancO.

Mir Thomas Durand came in from Gro Bianco last night. He reports that much excitement exists there over the great strike in the Warsaw, and every man who can raise the money are purchasing the stock. Mr Durand brought up speci- mems of ore taken at random from tbe Warsaw dump, which show black sui- phurets, very rich; native silver, brittle silver, ruby silver, wire silver, chloride and gray copper. This class of ore runs clear across the iive-foot ledge. and ore is being left OE the foot wall, which Is not yet reached The mill is running five stamps, wet crushing, on the new ore, and the average mill assays are over S3Jn per ton. The ore still being devel- oped looks better as the ledge is pene- trated.
 Another singularly rich strike has been made III a mine two and half miles from the Warsaw, belonging to Cr0comb x Thompkins. They were doing assess ment work. and at a depth of twenty feet, where the ledge was six feet wide. they opened a two-f0Jt pay streak that gives S2IO in gold and S3O in silver.
 These rich developments in Gro Blau- co are rapidly restoring confidence in that district, and those who have watch ed them believe that one of the greatest mining camps in the Territory will spring up at Gro Blanco within the com mg two years.

 Bricklayers in Harrisburg contemplate demanding S3 50 per day for their serv- ices.
 4 company has been organized in New Orleans for the erection of a large flour ing mill there.
 The Keystone Rubber Works will soon start up at Williamsport, Pa, giving em- ployment to 300 persons.
 Georgia has forty cotton mills, and they pay from eight to twenty-five per cent. net on the money invested
 Iowa has 4j9 mines in operation, em- ployiug 6,l16 men, and has for the cur rent year mined 3,jOO,OO0 tons of coal. worth S7,OOO,0OO on the dump.
 Twelve hundred laborers are engaged on the New York, Texas and Mexican railway grading the road-bed, and 400 others are employed in making ties.
 Paper bags to the number of 1,OOO,- OO0OOO are used yearly in the United States. The combined capacity of eight of the principal factories per day is 5,OOO,OOO. They are sold for a small fraction over the cost of the paper
 The Joliet Steel Works are among the largest establishments of the kind in the country. They employ about 2,j0O men and manufacture lG,OO0 tOnsOf Bessemer rail and 2,5O0 tons of other goods per month. The monthly pay roll amounts to S135,OO0.
 A farmer living near Wapelly, Dewitt county, Illinois, has fOrty-five acres of land for which he paid S27 5O per acre. This year he raised seventy-five bushels of corn per acre on fOrty-three acres of It, the other two acres producing ninety bushels each. Thus he more than paid for the land by one crop.
 The United States will manufacture more cotton goods this year than ever before. The commercial reports show that the Southern mills have taken b. OOO bales so far, against 3jOO0last year. an increase of 29 per cent, while the Northern nails have increased their con- sumption from 29l, ,9l4 to 3A, ,4S9 bales an increase of 15 per cent.
 Speaking of cotton mills, the Raleigh, \. C., News says: North Carolina has more than forty, we believe, but many of them are small. What they pay is one of those profound mysteries that can never be solved this side of eternity. Those that make are not disposed to tell, while those that do not make are prob ably ashamed to tell So we can only guess that some of the mills make large dividends. They do things better fur ther South.

The First Mormon Marriage.


 The first celestial marriage occur red by stealth on the banks of the Mis- sIsslppl river, near NauvOO, Illinois, JO- selh Smith "sealed to James Noble a second wife. NobIes first wife soon died of a broken heart, and the second wife went insane and also died. When Smith married Noble, the latter also married Smith to a second wife. The first Mrs. Smith clung to the prophet until a mob killed him. and then mar rird GeHtiie, and at Last accounts was still living at NauyOo. In defense of pOlygamy the examples of Abraham. Isaac, Jacob, Moses, Joshua, David and Solomon are. cited. In cOrrOboration of the Book of Mormon We are pointed to the buried cities of Palenque and Cx- nal, in Central America; to the mounds m the Mississippi valley, and tO other well known yestigcs Cf prehistoric race. When a good Mormon dies. who has lived mp to his religion, and has had dozen or two wives and fifty or sixty children, he does not become a mere au- gel, like an ordinary Christian-he be- comes god, with a world of his own to reign over. A Mormon wife who op- poses the pOlygdmous marriage of her husband goes to hell and is destroyed" \ Mormon who Obeys the mandates of the Church m most respects, but neg- lects to "gO into pOlygamv," becomes mere angel, who must be kind of serv- ant tO the gods and other angels. His wife must share the same humiliating fate. The doctrine of "blOod atone nent' Is simply this: r. an ap0state's throat Is cut, the spilling Of his blood upon the ground will save his soul. 1T he Is left to die a natural death his soul will Eo to hell \ great many apostate souls have been savel in Utah. This, in Is the Mormon religion.

The Female Barber.

Women are now tacklirg every prO- fession and style of business. There k hardly walk pf life adown whose shaded paths We dn not find the young lady siuntenng in her charming manner
 Many of them are becoming barbers, and successful ones, too. There Is a gentle touch required by barber which is very grateful tO the victim, and which is easi- ly picked up by the lady apprentice
 There Is a nameless joy that steals into mans soul when a musical voice tickles a mans ears as he lies in the chair with his eyes closed, while the tips of rosy fingers take him by the nose and DIV open his mouth, and a dainty twist of the wrist fills his back teeth full of soap and rain water. Oh, womanl Little do yOu know what a power for good you possess. When you iab a mans head back against the gable end of a barber's chair and hang 1t over behind so that his Adams apple sticks up into the scented air like the breast-bOne of an old gOb!er that has died of starvation, you have the great, strong, manly lord of creation where he Is as veal, and tract able as ch ld. Then you can wear him ont wnh an old razor that you have shaved the whole universe with. Then you can peel off one feature after another and throw 1t into an old nail-keg, and when you slice hm up into sausage you can talk to him and entertain him and make him think he is having a bit of
 luxury ladled out to hIm such as no other living man ever gJt. If the female barber is handsome she can shave her customers with a bed slat and D wder their faces with Cayenne pepper and gia"t powder, and will be all right. \ homely emale barber, however, would have nothing to do but to hone up old rGzOrs and think about the s1mber past.

Dramatic Club.

Not content with social musical and literary societies, Tucson wants drn- matte society, and steps have been taken to perfect the organization Of one. There are quite a number of proficient amateurs residing here, and a very
 strong combination can be formed. 4 meeting was held few nights since at tie house. of a certain lady we'll known in society circles. and books were or deIed and other arrangements made. The organization Is not as yet sufficient ly advanced to admit of mention of names, but fuller information will soon be gwen. The club to be known as the " Thespiaus, will probably open with " Miss Nulton,' as there is a talented lady interested who is proficient in the part. We await further developments.

The whiriing waltz. the bobbing polka and jumping racket
 were Tn succession so nicely executed that all who beheld them had no com plalnt or criticism to make. Square dances, Virginia reel and the lancers fol- lowed, and were received with great au- plause. About twelve o'clock We were all invited to partake of an elegant sup per, served up by Mrs. Hicklin and, judging from the remarks that passed from lip to lip, l should say up to this time, that there has been no table in Ar lzona more beautifully adorned or better supplied. There were many ladies pres ent, the most attractive of whom being the following: Miss Laura Hicklin. Mrs. Hicklin, Miss Smith, the wife of a wealthy merchant of this place. Mrs.
 5ayers, Mrs. Broom and Mrs. ,Eldridge. Miss Laura Hicklln, the belle of the avenluE, would rank second to none in the cIty Of Tucson, and all who know her would acIuesce with me in what I have said. All the ladies were charminglv dressed, and Dos Cabezas should feel proud of them. Men were plentifu! and Tn such numbers and costumes that I will attempt nothing further than to state a few Of their names. Johnnie Lynch was the great MOgul of tue even ing. Mr. Miller issued the invitations, and among other participants We mo- ticed Messrs. HaR3,g and B6ters andi many more of the boys, whose names know not. There were also present Lieutenants Brown and Blake. of Camp Bowie, and Major IUpper, of Huachuca, the former of whom made a very grace | ful fall Tn the center of the room as he was measuring off the racket. The whole affair was a grand success and our only hope IS that no long period of time will intervene before We have repetition os the sane. Pussy.

She lfas on the Safe Side.

X Louisville girl made an engagement tO clone with young man whom her father had forbidden tO enter the house. The plan was to ride m a close carriage across the line into Indiana, have the marriage ceremony performed, and re- turn to boldly announce themselN es hus- band and wife. This was carried out as far as to start in the carriage. Then the man kissed the girland she found whisky on his breath. More than that, she judged his unusual vivacity to be the result of slight intoxication. She at once declared the affair off. As he would not turn back, she called 8 policeman to her aid, got into another carriage, and went home unmarried.
