A D.cary Country,

The Nevada |. &spapers never lose an opportunity 10 give hit al Ari- zona. They select for publication only those extracts that speak of Ills disadvantages and shortcomings. The Eureka Sentinel, under the caption of |" A Dreary Country, publishes the following, il being but a specimen Of the attention which orr Territory re- ceIves in Nevada:
 L. k. Drais, writes from Florence, ArIzOna, to friends ln Winnemucca that the country IS ten times more desOlate than Nevada. There are some good mines discovered, and, as there are a good many capitalist ready 10 buy mines, it ought to be a good place tor prOspectors; but labor is not iu demand. and there are three men for every joh. Al the freighiIng business Is CarrIed on by companies who have their own shops and employ their own mechanics.
 We dO not think that any claims were ever advanced in favor of the supeucrity of our agricultural re- sources. It is true that some portions of the Territory possesses fine bodies of agricultural land, but the larger portion Is composed of semi-desert, with low mountain ranges appearing here and there. Arizona's prosperity is based almost exclusively upon its mineral resources, aud the develop men;s of a few years to come will astonish the world, Nevada included. There is practically no limit to it's mineral beds. They appear ia almost every hill and mountain, and SO far as has been demonstrated, they grow better as the workings increase In depth.

McCANN-Disd h this city, February a, Frank E., son of Mir and Mrs. Alphus Me- Cam, agSd 10 months.
 Ia this sad bereavement, the sor- rowing parents have the deepest sym pathy of their many friends. The funeral was largely attended by ths most respectable portion of our ciu- zens, and during the funeral service many q sigh escaped from warm hearts, and not q few tears sutfused the eyes of the ladies present. IL Is thus that the affection of the human heart Is very often drawn 10 the things above. They now feel that they have a little treasure in heaven, and Il Is the drawing of one link more towards IL. The child never dies-it will live forever in the memory of the parents as their little nne living over yon- der" The continuance of human love is one of the best evidences, not only of immortality, but that we shall know our dear ones again. After ten |, twenty, fifty years have gone, the fa- ther remembers with pang Of long . ing, his little child; the mother car ries her infant in her heart till she goes to meet It. We may change to- wards the living. but never towards the dead. To the parents we would say:
 The eherub which our fathers love,
 To cheer cur earthly home, had given,
 Now lvaus OD brighter arms aboVs-
 You have Q treasure laid in heaven.

The curiosity of bis bet,ar halI was even greater than his o,y, anu she waited with some interest "hiie he broke the seal. The letter was taken out ana the gentleman stood Ashast at the opening words ssA My nearest husband" The lady almo;r laIh'ed on the spot, but being rallied gave ample evidence of the effect Dro- uuceG upon her by this unUelcome discovery. In vain did the distracted husband assure her there Was some mistake. She took up the enveloDe 1t was correctly addressed-eyeu inc initials, Oy no means common ones. eAHN0y correct Struggling against suspicion, the woman found herself ln q bad state indeed, and how matters could be lighted was the puz- zle oi the husband. The letter, when read through, was infinitely worse. Tor the manner m winch it dealt yith lamiiy affairs tended to confirm sus- picion.
 The gentleman in such dilemma wrote t0 the Chief oi Police of Mon lreai, enclosing the letter, which was dated rom Montreal, anu explaining the serious complications it had Caused. By aId of detectives the was soon found, and then inlerrogated. wlth view 10 prosecuting her for blackmail, for she had demanded money in the letter. Her answers were stra ghuOrward. She promptly admitted having written, asking money, adding that it was nob0dy's business whether she wrote 10 her hus- band or not. ' But the gentleman is not your husband, said the officers. Indignant al this, she spoke rapidly, In the course ot her explanations men iion!ng that the gentleman she had written to was a waiter at the hotel, and when further inquiries were made as to whether there was a waiter of that name in the house, the biackest coiored gentleman, with white apron, stepped forward, and hal ing received the epIst.e, wanted to know who had the ImpertInence to open another gen Ueman's letters. He bore exactly the same name as the person whose trib- ulatlons have just been recOunled, but being ot less eminence, had been overlooked. Apologies were ex- changed aud domestic happiness re- stored.

Tucson's Prospects.


 Tucson stands to-day as the most promising city Tn the southwestern portion of lhe United States. IL is the gateway to the whole mining region of Southern Arizona-prob- ably the richest mineral section in the world. Thc-already meagre edevelop- mems of our mines have advanced Tucson 10 a degree Of importance wholly undreamed of by it's inhabit- ants one year ago. What may we not expect when the thunder of thousands of stamps can be heard at every polnt oI the compass, and the black smoke from inDumerable furnaces seen in every direction from our city? The new discoveries of rich mineral de- posi-s constantly being brought 10 light about us surely ipdicate lhe pos sibility of such a picture. Even down to he very doors of our city the precious metals lie hidden among the rocky hills awaiting capital and mus cle 10 send it forth 10 swell the wealth of the world.
 This is not the gauzy fubric of a dream, but possibilities warranted by existing facts. Our ancient and hon. orable pueblo will yet become the Denver of Arizona, and nothing but q stubborn determination on the part of it's property owners to remain insig- nidcant can prevent l.. The frequent enyious sneers of some pretentious mining camps are good evidence of our growing importance, and we can afford to indulge them Tn these pleasantries which can do us no harm. The best judgment of the most impar. tial observers gives to Tucson the prospect of a great future, and no man of intelligence can know the ex- tent Of the resources upon which this prediction is based without acknowI- edging the truth thereof.

SILVER BELL DISTRICT.
A New TOwn-BIg Mines and Plenty Ot Them-Abundanee of Wood and Water

This new mining district, located about 40 miles northwest of Tucson, near Red Rock station on the South ern Pacific Railroad, is coming into great prominence for the extent and exceeding richness of its mines.
 The Old Boot, Blue Coat and Cop ger King mines have each been de- yelOped sufficiently jo warrant the erection of a 30-tnn su.elter, and from the character of the ores a repetition of the successes at Bisbee Is antIc- ipated. These three mines are the property of the HuNchuca Mining Company, organized under the laws of the State of New York, with Guy k. Peltun as President, k. Dannheim as Secretary, and Z Staab as Treas urer. Nil. W. B. Scott, Superin- tendent of the cOmpany's mines, has already started 10 San Francisco to purchase 3 shelter which will be put in operation as scon as il IS possible 10 erect II. The ore d red oxide of copper, carrying con- siderable iron, il Is thought will be easily smelted with the natural Aux contained therein.
 A new town has been started in the district called Pelton, and 0 store opened. The district, it is said, cum prises an immense uumter of very rich lodges, all carrying more or less silver.
 Frank O'Brien add E. O. Shaw own number If claims at Silver Hill, one of which, the Morarch, shows s. foot ledge averaging tfty dollars ID silver per ton. Picked specimens run very high, both in silver and gold. There is plenty of wood, and an ubun- dance of water cau be mad by dig ging.
 A stage and express line from Tue son 10 Pellon will be started next Mon day by Frank O'Brien.
 There is evidently bright future for the Silver Bell District.
