 EDITOR CITIZEN: It is with great pleasure that the miners ol this dis trict read in your valuable paper your exertions in getting mail and ox- press for Meyers District. This must be done, and soon; and il Is for the interest of the business men of Tue son to hurry this matter, as the trade of this section is growing rapidly in importance. Some very heavy min ing sales have been made since my last letter to you, and party of mon eyed gentlemen from Philadelphia have just left the mines, and after u close inspection, under an able expert, they pronounce the mines wonder fully rich. Negotiations, l under stand, are progressing in inc purchase of a group of mines, the cOnsIdera- ton being up in .he hundreds of thou sands Great activity prevails, and there is not an idle man in camp. The development of the mines con tinues by shafts and tunnels, and as depth is attained the mines, without an exception, grow richer in precious metal. The Mineral Bed COnsoli- dated Mining Company are placing their mine in condition for extracting ore They are timbering the main shaft, building good roads, and have built q storage house, blacksmith shop, etc. In grading the road above the mine another vein of great prom ise was opened, the chimney Of ore thereon resembling the Silver King on the surface. The Morning Star Is driving down a shail with full force of men; thelr vein is five and a half feet in width, and the ore carries a black sulphuret Of silver. West ward is being worked in an incline shaft, the vein twelve feet wide, and the ore body of fine ore eight feet wide is the balance of the vein mate rial On the 20U-fOOt level m the Gunsight very i'm pUrtant developments have been maGs, two veins coming together, and f,rmIng large, strong, rich body oi ore; the shalt Is all Tn ore. The extent of this ore body we cannot tell until 6 cross drift is run. This company have thousands of tons of ore accessible, open in the mine and on the dumps. Silver Girt North has sunk a shaft 60 feet. They are running down on the foot wall, on the west wall of the vein. The develop ments are good. This company are opening valuable mining property. Work is ordered on the Atlanta EX- tension, also on the Morning Star Extension. These miDes have just been bought by Philadelphia parties.
 could give you more mines ac- tIvely at work, but will continue in my next of these properties and their developments. Truly yours,
 A. CALDWELL.

Not long since al old Mexican wo- man who had gone out to the big ar- roys beyond the railroad for some purpose or other, had her attention called to an object that had also at- tracted the attention of some hogs, and over which they were making considerable fuss and noise. She reached the place where the object had been deposited just as the hogs were going to take hold of il, and with some difficulty drove them away. She then proceeded to satisfy her cu- rios;ty by removing an old shall or piece of cloak which covered the ob. Ject, and to her surprise, discovered the form of a new-b born babe. A plaintiye cry from sweet little up- turned mouth was the very best evil dence that the little waif was still living. The Kindly old woman, who was deeply touched at the lIttle stran- gers plaintive voice, at once took il In her arms, pressed it to her own bosom, and then hurried away to her home-poor and humble as it Was vowiug that it should be shared with the little stranger. Her neighbors also took an interest ib the httle one they dressed il with warm clothes, and nourished il as best they could Fortunately, on the very next day af- ter the discovery of lhe cast away, a Mexican woman, Mrs. Eloisa Corona in the Barrie Libre, had given birth 10 a child, and she, with mOtherly in stinct, took the little waif to her breast, and nourlshed it with her own child. IL is doing well and lives-to the shame of the natural mother who cast lt'away It is girl and believ- ed to have American blood in it's veins. IL could not have been more than a few hours old when il was found. The Mexican people who have SO kindly taken in the little stranger, believe they know the mother of the child. |" Lo, children are heritage of the Lord May the Lord indeed {" be father to the fla therless " in this case.

Ed. Sehemein.

Ed, the discoverer of the mines which created Tombstone, and the man who gave the place it's gravelike name, made us a call day. In years past Ed. was q mule-puncher for the editor of the Miner, aud a good, in- dustriOus man he was. He informs us that he had spent fourteen years in prospecting before be struck The famous Tombstone mines, One-fOurth of which he sold for S400, 900. Be- fore the discovery of the mines which have proved so wonderful, he made Camp Huachuca hIs headquarters, and often remarked that he would yet make his fortune, 10 which he geu- erally received the consoling answer of "Oh, yes, you will find a tomb stone" So often was this ans wer given him that il became impressed on his memory 10 such degree that the first thing that came 10 hIs mInd after discovering the Contention, Tough Nut, etc, was tombstone " hence the derivation of the name tO the town that has become famous for it's mines of marvellous richness.
 Ed. has settled upon his father and mother S100, GOO, has invested d in United States bonds S25O, coo, and kept $50,000 as reserve to carry him through his prospecting career, which be follows with great avidity. He is DOW en route to New Mexico for the purpose of exploring that country, rich in minerals of every description.

NilIIisnl.

The word "NihIlist" is derived from the Latin "nihil," meaning "noth- ing" Perhaps the best definition of Nihilism, as It exists in Russia, is that given by Michael Bukunin, who has been called the father of Nihil- ism. In a speech at Geneva, in 1868, he said: ''The first duty of mankind is to obliterate from the heart any be- lief in God, who is but the pcrsoni- fication of absolute tyranny invested with the idea that nine-tenths of the world should be subject to the remain ing tenth. The second lie is rigbt. Might invented the fiction oi right in order to insure her reign. When you have freed your minds from the fear of God and that childish respect for the fiction of right, then all the re. maining chains which bind you, and are called science, civilization, prop erty, marriage, morality and justice, will snap asunder like threads. Let your own happiness be your only law.

Burglars Caught

It will be remembered that on last Friday night the store of MT. Isidor Kaufman was burglarlzed of watches pistols, etc., to the value of S25O The next morning Marshal Buttner arrested one Thomas shannon on sus- picion of implication in the robbery, and proceeded with his peculiar adroitness to work up the case. The success Cf his efforts was made mani fest this morning by the restoration of the stolen property to Mir. Kaufman. The excellent officer traced the goods by bits of circumstantial evidence. to a lot near Levin's park, where they were found snugly cached among some rubbish and brush. The confed' crate of Shannon is under surveillance and will undoubtedly find himself in custody ere he is aware of being sus- pected.
 NIT. Buttner is exhibiting very rare detective qualities, and is proving himself an officer of unusual effi- ciency, to the exercise of which our city owes much of its good reputation as a peaceful community.

Profits of Mining.

Legitimate mining in the United States offers better inducements to persons seeking invest -nents than any other industry, not excepting agri- culture or commerce. Carefully pre- pared statistics show that for every dollar expended ln searching for gold between four and five dollars are real ized. A great proportion of the fail ures that occur Tn connection with this pursuit are due to gross misman- agement. Men who would not for a moment entertain a thought of em- barking in a mercantile venture with out having extended experience in the particular line of business and also having about them a corps of equally we'll posted assistants, will rush blindly into mining and place complete reliance in luck. Such men regard their efforts as mere gamble, and are successful as often as the faro player. The other class of mine own CTS who in developing thelr proper ties, put every dollar where it will do the most good, require their employees to do a good days work for a good days wages, save dollar here and 8 dollar there whenever they see an op- portunity above or below ground, are practical miners of wide experience, or else have under them in every de pariment trustworthy men, while they themselves are shrewd financiers- these men are almost always success tnl. A failure with them IS the ex- ception, while with less shrewd in vestors it is the rule. .-[Nevada Tran script.

SIR WILLIAM GRANVILLE GEORGE VENABLE VERNON HARCOUET is the most unpopular man personally whom English public lite has knowledge Of. They tell a story of him that four wags in the House of Commons agreed to have e club dinner of eight covers, each man to invite the most i'll tempered man he knew, and to let the quartet quarrel. At the dinner Harcourt was the only guest, and, all unconscious of the sell, thanked his tour hosts for the four invitations he had received; he was the unanimous choice of the party. He IS most learned politician, keen writer and a caustic critic, and he found favor in one woman's sight. if men do hate hlm, as he was fortunate enough to marry an American girl, the daughter of the historian Motley.
