AN exchange, in reporting an inter- view with Gen. Walker, the Superin- teDdent of the Census, reports him as giving the following percentage of in, crease of population in the several States and Territories
 Southern States-Alabama, 26; Georgia, 30; Louisiana, 29; Mary land, 19; Missouri, 36; South Caro- lima, fl; Texas, 94; West Virginia, S9 Florida, 42; Kentucky, 24 Arkansas, 6; Mississippi, 37; North Carolina, 90, Tennessee, 23; Firg mia, g. New England States - Connecticut, 15; Massachusetts, 23; Rhode Island, 27 Maine, .O3; New Hampshire, 09; Yer mont, .O05. Middle States-New Jersey, 25; Pennsylvania, 9; New York, IS; Delaware, 57. Western States-Caiiforniu, 54; Illinois, q Iowa, 56; Michigan, 3S; Nebraska, 2GS; Ohio, l3; W esconsin, g; Col orado, 5.SS, Indiana, F; Kansas, 1.73; Minnesota, r; Nevada, 46; Ore gou, 92. TerritOries-ATizOna, 3. .19; District of Columbia, 35; Montana, 90; Utah, 66; Wyoming, l.2S; Dakota, s54; Idaho. LA; New Mexico, 2g Washington, 2.I3. The per cent. of increase throug the United States IS 31 per cent.
 The per cenIage as given for this Territory Is manifesly incorrect, as any Arizonan well knows. The in- crease in Pima county within the past two years alone will not fall short of ten 10 one, aRd it is presumed that the increase in other sections has been in the same proportion, or nearly SO. What then becomes of the 3.19 per centage with which We are credited New Mexico is accredited with an in- crease of % per cent, when nothing is more patent than that Arizona has far outstripped her sister Territory in her increasing immigration within the past decade.
 We invite authentic information on the subject.

Rase RaII.

The Journal, in a notice under the above head, seems to have fallen Into an error as to the proposinon made by the Tucson nine to the Phenix nine. The Journal states that the Tucson nine will play the Phenix club, if they will come to Tucson, for the expenses of the trip down and back; CT, if the Phenicians can't stand that proposition, they are wiling to delray the expenses of the trip to Tue son and play them anyhow Now the boys inform US that the latter part of the above proposition IS put stronger than they intended, and that their proposition is as follows:
 II the Pheniclans will come to Tue. son, they will play them match game; if the Phenix nine win the game, the Tucson nine will pay all expenses; bu, if they beat the Phenix club then they are to pay their own expenses.

A PARTY of gentlemen astonished the farmers in the Twelfth market, yesterday morning, by asking one of their number, neat, we'll dressed young man, with dark hair and mustache, to buy some eggs for them. He made the necessary in- quiries as to price and the degree of freshness they possessed. and then de- clared that the eggs were much more valuable than they appeared. Picking up ore he requested the farmer to break it, when the latter did so two bright five dollar gold pieces dropped out of the shell. He did this success fully several times, until some of the crowd recognized him as Hermann, the magician, and then the mob be- came 100 large for him to perform his tricks On the way out ol the market he twisted the head of pigeon of and afterwards replaced it without apparently affecting it's health. He also drew several rolls of money, purses of coin, and twenty dollar gold pieces from the hats and cost-collsrs of various impecunious-iOoking per sons. who gazed in astonishment at the perfoI nance.

"A New Earthauake Theory.

A new theory Of earthquake has been advanced by Dr. Novak. He considers that besides the rotation of the earth on it's axis and its revolution round the sun, a multiplicity of the motions of the earth appear in space, in virtue of which the earth's axis and the equator shift their position. This causes a variation of the forces intu- eucing the earth's form, and the earth hes the tendency 10 adapt itself to this change. He also considers a change of form of the earth to occur through the shifting of the poles and the equa- tor, and this may have effect some time afterward where the crust of the earth is weak.

DRAeooN MOUNTAINS.
Good Mining Developments Being
 Made.

From Mir. c. NJ. Hooker, who came in this morning from Dragoon Pass we learn the following facts relative to mining matters in that section;
 The Peabody mine, owned by the Russell Gold and Silver Mining Com pauy. is about six miles from Dra- 9Oon Pass. The ore bell on this claim is about sixty feet wide, show ing alternate narrow ledges Of copper ore and limestone. Several shalls have been sunk to a depth of twenty feet. all in good ore. Three carloads of ore have been extracted, and IS awaiting the arrival oI sacks 10 oe shippetl 10 San Francisco. The ore assays 5 per cent. copper and SOO ID silver.
 The Minneapolis, located about one mile from the railroad, has shall down nfty feet, and has again reached the ledge, and good shipping ore Is being brought to the surface.
 MT. Gavin has several very large ledges with little or no developments. The prospects are COnsi~S4SN 'N'| promising.
 The Golden Sight and Blue Tor mines, owned by Mr. Hooker. have shafts thirty feet deep, showing an 1S-inch ledge of free gold rock. As says of this ore have run as high as $33O0 per ton, and sack of ore sent to San Francisco gave a mill-test ol $2500.
 There are about fifty prospeetors and miners in the neighborhood ol Dragoon Pass, and some twelve oi fifteen railroad men. Their postal ia cililies are not satisfactory. and an effort Is being made to have a post office established at the station. Al present they are compelled 10 go q distance of twenty miles 10 get theiI mall.

unsrefnlness of Drink.

recent lecture in New York, bv Rev. Dr. o. H. Tiffany, the fol- flowing argument in opposition to the use of intoxicants was given;
 Last year 5203 licenses were issued to saloon keepers in New York. Per sons detailed to stand outside of these saloons. count the number of people who went in and see how long each s,aved, agreed that an average of l34 nersons visited each saloon during twenty four hours and stayed upon an average fifteen minutes. Nearly 175,- GOO hours were expended Tn inc sa- looms on that day. As there are only 5000 hours in a year 2O years were los, that day. In one year, there fore. 7300 years are thus wasted
 Dr. Tiffany calculated how much every person who drinks twice a day wastes in year, provided he pays ten cents for each swig." A family off five use four barrels of flour yearly, an expense of $32. Two drinks day, len cents each, cost SIS yearly. That would supply the flour, tea and cof- lee OI lilE idullils OuS man 9N oAASNS S them all in two daily gulps.
 Dr. Tiffany also spoke of the phys ical energy and nerve wasted in sprees and getting sober. He told of large corporations wHo forbid their men 10 drink for economical reasons. In Canada. he said, there was a brewer who fcrbids his hands to drink during working hours. He told how the brain is excited by liquor, how re- straint is removed and how the i'm acination IS quickened while the judgment is held in abeysnce. He said there was an immense waste of vitality among drunkaTds. Drinking alcohol interfcres with the inballng of oxygen aud dimInishes the capacity Of discharging carbonic acid, so the body of the drunkard is burnt away at both ends. Speaking about good liquor |" Dr. Tiffany said that in one year 500, ,O00 cases of real champagne were made and 1, GOO, GOO cases were sold. He gave other statistics to show that every year more pure liquor of particular brands is sold than is manufactured. He concluded by by drawing a picture of the miseries of intemperance.

ASSESSMENT WORK.
Recent Ruling by the Commits .ioner Of the Land offioe on the Sub- feet of When Assessment Work on Claims Must be Done.

The December number of Copp's Land- Owner contains a letter from Commissioner Williamson regarding the time when assessment work on mining claims must be done in order to hold them. It confirms the CITI- zrN's'statement in regard 10 the sub feet. made some tune since, and the letter in full is given, as it IS of much importance:
 GENERAL LAND OFFICE,
 WASHINGTON, November 10, lSSO. J
 HoN. N. r. HILL Denver, Col.- SIR; have the hoRor to return here with the letter of G. A. Haynes, en- closed in yours of the 25th ultimo.
 The question submitted by MT. Haynes is as follows: "If l locate q mining claim on the 1st of October, 1879. and complete the assessment or discovery shaft by the 10th day oi October, 1879, and proceed immedi- ately to do Sl00 worth of work IH cd diti6U to the assessment or discovery shaf. work, and complete the said S1O0 worth of work by the 2Uth day oi October, 1879, will the Department authorities recognize sad $lOO worth of work as the first dRnudt work un- der the Act approved January 22, 1SS0?"
 Section 2 of Act of January 22, 1880, is as follows: 'That section 2324 Of the Revised Statutes of the United States be amended by adding the fol- lowing words: Provided, that the period within which the work required 10 be done annually on all unpaiented mineral claims shall commence on the first day of January succeeding the day of location of such claim, and this section shall apply 10 all claims located since the 10th day of May, Anno Domini 1872
 The Acs of May 10, 1872 (sectlon 2324, Revised Statutes), provided that |" On each claim located after the 10th day of May, 1879, and until patent has been issued therefor, not less than SI0O worth of labor shall be per formed, or improvements made, dur ing each year."
 Under said section 2S24, sad annual improvements were due within each year, commencing with the date of location.
 Upon claims located prior to May 10. 1872, the first annual expenditures were due by January l, 1875, and an- nually thereafter.
 The purpose of the amendment of January g, 1880, was 10 secure an uniform period within which the an- nual expenditures should be required on all locations.
 Ia sad amendatory Act. such period is made to " commence on the 1st day of January succeeding the date of To- cation of such claim"
 It therefore follows that a claim To- cated October l, 1879, requires the ex- penditure of S100 worth of labor or improvements thereon within the cal endar year 1880, and that whatever may have been expended during 1879 will not answer the requirements of expenditures in 1850.
 A claim located on any date subse- quent 10 the 1st day of January, 1873, requires no further expenditure during the remainder of that year than is made necessary by local laws.
 l find that l have inadvertently signed letter indicating & different construction of the section aforesaid.
 The conclusion herein given has, however, been reached after careful consideration, and will control my official action. J.AWuLIAMsON,
 Commissioner.

A Success.

The meeting of the American and Mexican Mining Exchange on Satur- day evening last proved quite a suc- cess. General Carr was called to the chair, when the secretary read an ex- pianatory statement giving a history of the exchange up to date. The ob- ject of the exchange is to raise it to a corporation composed of prominent citizens of Tucson and the Territory linen of capital and financial stand ing-which will make It useful me- dium through which mining claims may be negotiated, after having re- ceived the endorsement of the officers ot the exchange. On motion a con- ml'lee of three, consisting of J NJ. Soto, :. Ansia and F. Stanford, were appointed by the chair to draw up a basis for articles of incorporation, to be submitted 10 the stockholders for adoption.

IT is recommended, on behalf of the penItentiary. that it could be made self-sustainIng at Yuma, by manufac- turing bagging and rope from the wild hemp indigenous 10 this county. A splendid idea, with only one draw back-there is no wild hemp in the county. Lower California produces vast quantities of it, but Yuma county none. IL is also suggested that the growth of jute would yield 6 yevy pretty revenue, but as the penitentiary grounds consist only of seven acres of gravelly hill and three acres of Colo rado river, it requires a lndia-rubber imagination to see fields of jute there on. The Prison Commissioner at Prescott is evidently proceeding on the theory that the average legislator is a miserable idIot.- Yuma Senti- mel

WE understand the soldiers at Fort Lowell while on a hunting expedition recently, found passage directly north of the fort, leading up to the timber belt on top or the Santa Cat. ariua mountains. They report beau uiul stretches of broad plateaus crovered with fne growth of pine timber, and running brooks of pure cold water. They found aa abundance of game Tn every direction, and say that II affords one of the finest loca- tions for summer resort to be fou nd ln the country.
