 f-,sud of ours has received a letter am reliable man and resident of rts-,eston of date 22i instant, from ,-rf.b We are permitted 10 make the allowing extracts.
 as asneariy as the facts can be gath .-.4 st this date-eight days after the s-,-Inr-.hey are these; June II, Schneider went to a restaurant kept at sfI.wclTs corral, where he was ac- -r.,omed 10 get his meals, fer his y-rrb at about l 30 D. m..

4 LittIe Mixed.

The way in which the San Fran cisco papers mix up the location of mining camps in Arizona, reminds us of a French or English determination who attempts Co wrIte up things or places in America, and the ignorance displayed by the one is offset by the other, and tends to show what little interest is taken by the average press of San Francisco in Arizona affairs. In the Chronicle of the Doth we find the following item of news, purpCrted to have been taken from the CITIZEN,
 The bullion yield of the Tomb stone District, Arizona, for the year 1880. is reported at S3,O12, ,223 by the Tucson CITIZEN. Or this amount the Western mine produced $1 100000, the Tombstone Mills S913, AS, the Harshaw S375, coo and the Copper Queen S3000OO."
 The figures were doubtless taken from the CITIZEN, but the districts in which these mines are located have been fearfully mixed up. Only two of the mines enumerated being in Tombstone District, the others being in Mule Pass and Harshaw Districts. The output referred to included not only Tombstone District, but the en- tie county of Pima.

A Live Center.

The Western Union Telegraph Com pany continue to work on their new lines now being put up along the Southern Pacific and Atchison, To- peka and Santa Fe railroads And. like the railroad company. will make Tucson their principal office in Ar izona- When the lIue is completed, as 1t will be at an early day, a very large portion of all the California bus mess will be done over this line.
 Changes will also be made in the railroad time, so that passenger trains will arrive here in the day time. X large hotel will be built here for the accommodation of through travel which will create new business in the vicinity of the depot, and will greatly add to the general prosperity ofthe town.

NeW StriI.es

From Mir. J. K Luttrell we learn the following facts:
 Samples of very rich ore have been received from a strike in the Ohio mine, near the Alta. The exact eX- tent of the strike could not just al present be given, but enough is known to justify the statement that the Ohio is one of the foremost mines in this Territory. Full particulars will be given III reference to this mine in our next.
 In the Pool an S0-foOt ledge has been struck, from which s assays were made, averaging S4 ounces.
 In the GrasShopper they have 35- foot ledge assaying s2 ounces silver per ton.
 NIT. Lultrell reports the shipment of 2l, 900 pounds Of high grade bullion from the Holland, Icing the second shipment The smelter will start up for 90 day run in a day or so. MT jamiS0n, the Superintendent, has eX- perImented considerably as to the best mode of reduction, has made many alterations and win no doubt make a grand success of this run. Al together MT. Luttrell's statements are full of hope to all connected with the above properties.

CALIpoRNIA MINING DrsrRIcr,

CALIFORNIA MINING DISTRICT,
 PIMA COUNTY, AT, January 29. EDITOR CITIZEN: To say that this camp is booming does not express the excitement that prevails through this section. Men are coming i'll from every direction, and already the ring of the pick and drill is heard in the rocky recesses where but short while ago the foot of the prospector never dared to penetrate.
 True work is being done, and the mines are being worked for their hId den value, enough being in sight to warrant further search for the pre- cious metal
 Many new discoveries are being made, and those who have been work ing their claims are we'll pleased over the manner in which they hold out and increase in richness as depth Is gained.
 This camp is destined to be one of the great mineral producers of the west, and when machinery is erected to treat successfully the vast beds of carbonates and chlorldes that lie in sight. Tombstone will have 10 look to it's laurels.
 The Texas mine is at present attract ing the attention of the camp. But ere long such mines as the Roman Beauty, with its vast deposits of smelling ores, will bring this camp up 10 it's true standard as a mineral producer, for it is the opinion of all miners that large beds of carbonaies will be the backbone of the camp. As you are no doubt ware, we have Q paper, which IS only one of the small indications that leads to the solId of a successful mining camp. R. ID. WHITE, Jr.

The New Queen of the Lobby.

The queen of the lobby this winter, says the Washington correspondent Of The Chicago Tribune, is a fascinating little brunette from the sunny South the widow of a Confederate Colonel who fell before Richmond. She has been abroad, and knows the most cele- brated men of France, England and this country, although her circle of female acquaintances IS evidently cir Cumscribed The charm of her con- veTsatiOn is irresistible, especially to gentlemen whose hair is thIn on the top of their heads. There is sweet, suhdued gayey in her speech, accent and gesture which makes Q venerable listener happy, and there is a vivacity about her conversation which is espe- ciGlly attractive She always dresses in black, in which magniticence of apparel can be allied with purity of taste. lD the daytime a lOng-skirtcd ulster has most decurous look, and at night, in her pleasant rooms, she always wears rich black satin dress, with a scarf of rare lace, in which gleams a diamond cross which might have been the ransom of the Sultan. Such unstudied grace and elegance suggest sweet Annie Page, On her bright face one might trace 8 picture of the brain and if she does n.t ren- der great aid to those who haze r tained her services to a their -ch-nes I am mistaken More nan one sturdy Congressman is submissive to ter des- pOtic will.

Aneedote of Tom Corwln.

The campaign 0l 1S40 was the one in which Corwin's powers as stump orator manifested themselves to their fullest extent. l. was a great popular uprising, and he was everywhere the hero of the hour. On one occasion, when he was engaged in speaking to a large crowd, he was interrupted several times by an impatient little man, who in tenor voice demanded {, Speak little louder, Mir COrwin ,' Finally the speaker stopped, and, looking with peculiar quiZzical ex- piession which was characteristic Cf the man, began Co stretch himself up 10 his fullest height and bend his head in every direction, as though to see a very diminutive individual At length his eyes remained fixed, and he said, in the loudest, most resonant tones of which his remarkable voice was capable:
 FellOw-citizens: In that great day when the heavens shall be rolled to- ge,her like scroll-when Gabriel, standing with one foot upon the sea and the other upon the solid land, shall say in tTumpet-tones that tune shall be no mOTe-sOme sqUaky- voiced Democrat, away in the out skirts of the crowd, will call out, with what little force he possesses, speak a little louder, MT Gabrielr"

4 Just Decision.

The decision rendered Friday by Chief Jusuce French in the ease of Paul vs. Shibell will meet the hearty approval of every fair-miuded citizen of Pima county. The counsel for res pondent conducted their case with rare tact and ability, and did every thing that it was possible for them to do for their client. The same may be said for the attorneys for the plain tiff, who conducted the prosecution in a very able manner. Judge Rob- insOn made the opening speech, pre- senting the case in forcible language. The closing argument by Judge Smith was clear and 10 the point.
 Judge French proceeded at once to render his decision. which was m substance as follows; He decided that To election had been held in San Simon election precinct, consequently the sO-called election returns of that district were thrown out; that the re- turns from Tombstone were the best evidence, consequently the result of that election precinct was left undis- turbed. IL having been proven that legal election had been held at Tres AlamOs, the returns frolh that election precinct were admit ted. After the deductions and additions had been made, the Judge found that Paul had a majority of 56!votes, and it was so entered upon the court records.
 Judge French has been very fair m the trial of this case. lie showed a disposition all the way through to ar rive at the facts in the case regardless Of personal feeling, but with a de- termination to sift the chafl from the wheat, and he has done it. No other decision could have been reached. The will of the people has been truth fully reflected and will so stand.

We notice that complaints are be- ing made by Boston investors in some of our so.called bonaaZas. iu Ton b. stone District We can say tO our Boston friends that there are some of as good mines in Tombstone District as have been found during the past ten years, but because other s0-Called mines are not stocked and placed upon the market in the same locality, it does necessarily follow that they are equally rich. Some of the mining companies complained of have never stood very high in the estimation of those who ought 10 know something of them.
