Superintendent J. IL Kirkpatrics of the Orion mine at Gro Blanco i. in the city, and a CITIZEN repor-s- Wednesday sought him out to le ,n or the progress of development of tba mine of which he has charge. and Wa. agreeably surprised to learn that bpt , few days will intervene before ,., more stamps will be laundering aws, and adding to the wealth of the Ter ritory. The engine has been given trial run, and the dryer and roa.,er for the rebellious ores are all re,ev for the commencement of work. Nr Kirkpatrick is now in town procD-ir,, some articles of detail in order rbo,7 once started, there will be no orcs. sion to stop the mIll.
 The ores will be treated by The Iiv ivialiOn process and by ordinary am algamatIOn, though principally bv tTa former. It k expected tO work from
 len tO fifteen tons daily, and the buI. lion output, MT Klrkpatrick es,i. mates, will be upward of Sso 0oo mc0,hly.
 The Orion Company owl eul claims m all, four of which have been developed sufficiently already to prove them of great value, while the three remaining are merely good prospects. Some 2500 tons of ore have been extracted from all the claims, which are varied in quality from L.ce- milling 10 very base, and from low grade 10 rock which will produce thousands of dollars Co the ton.
 NIT. kirkpatnck Is one of the best practical miners on the Pacific Coast and by intelligent experiment has ac. quired fund of information regard. ing the treatment of ores which might be enyicd by the best of our prufes SiOnal mill-men. He estimates that by combining the several clssses ores so as tO best facilitate their successful treatment he wIll obtain a result of from S60 to Sl00 per ton. Hedeserves the best of good fortune, for he has probably undergone as much hardship and explored as much of the Pacific Coast as any other living white man. And, above all, MT. Kirkpatrick is an energetic, unassuming gentleman, who does always what he conceives to be right, regardless of public opinion or influence of any kind.

The Mall to Globe.

There is reason to believe that the representations made to the Postal Department regarding the restoration of the Tucson and Globe mail service will have the desired effect. It cir tainly is to be hoped that such Is the case. The time between the two ter minal points by this route is only 30 hOurs-scarcely more than One-half the time consumed on the other route, besides sfTOrding mail facilities to constantly increasing number of peo- pie on the way who are now practical ly without them. The service should never have been discontinued, and now that the matter is being investi- gated, we hope il will be restored.

Fasting Horses.

To determine the capacity of horses to undergo the Drivations incident to q state of seize, series of experl- ments were made with these animals some years ago in Paris. The exper- iments proved Q) that a horse can hold out for twenty-four days without any solid nourIshmeDt, provided it IS supplied with sufficient and good drinking water. @ A horse can barely hold out for five days without water. (3) If a horse is well fed Tor ten days, but insufficiently provided with water for the same period, it will not outlive the eleventh day. One horse. from which water had been en- tirelv withheld for three days, drank on the fourth day sixty liters of water within three minutes. A horse which received no solid nourishment for twelve days was, nevertheless, in condition on the twelfth day of its fast 10 draw a load of 269 kilOs.

The Government has been the best customer for fine silver during the past three years, having purchased at the rate of S2O,000000 per annum during the interval. Probably at least $5,OOO,- 900 of this amount was from foreign markets. The Oriental market comes next. The East Indies and China have long been the best foreign mar kets for silver. What becomes of all the silver sent there is a mystery. Very little is ever exported, and yet the demand is unceasing, though vari- able. Pending the low prices of sIl- yer ID 1876, the East India markets absorbed large quantities, much ln excess of their annual consumptive wants. They have scarcely recovered from that overflow. The shipments of specie from San Francisco to Japan and China (mostly 10 HongkOng) during the year 1880, have been as follows:

by natural increase. The agricultural
products have likewise increased to a
large degree Other interesting facts
were stated, showing that Mississippi
was a State most attractive in every
thing appertaining to the development
of prosperity on the part of Its residents.
He also gave an interesting account of
the manufacturing interests of the State,
and the educational results secured since
the close of the war All that was now
necessary was united action on the part
of landowners and other intelligent men
to invite and secure immigrants. Mr..

Capt. r. NJ Leavell, Of Verona, we'll

by the way, Chairman of the Democrat

no doubt it will be promptly forwarded
to him. Captain Leavell was an officer
