Statement of John HIn.

About the middle of October 1880, l was at work building the furnace of the Holland Mining Company, pat ting the brick work of the furnace, when Hahn, who had charge of the construction, ordered me to build the projection courses over the '" water jacket of common red brick. told him that il would be useless work 10 do SO, as the brick were of a very poor quality. Ills reply was: Build it as I tell you, or not al all" He started 10 go away, but after going a few steps, turned about and ordered me to build all three courses or ire brick. The common brick were of a very poor quality, not suitable for the purpose, and would not have stood one run of the furnace. l repeatedly told MT. Luttrell that from the man. ner in which Hahn was ordering the furnace built that it would be fail ure. l am accustomed tO the con- structon of furnaces for smelling purposes. am bricklayer and ma son by trade, and have a thorough knowledge of the durability of all kinds of brick and furnace work. The furnace as ordered built was a failure until it was remodeled by MT. Jamie son according to the plans and speci- fications by Fraser < Chalmers as they were represented to me. Dlr. Hahn would never permitme to see the plans Since Hahn left l have examined them, and finG the furnace as recon structel 10 be in accordance with the plans and specifications.

trsvsgance. The astonishing increase of the past year, and the influx of canital 10 Arizona which 1t has brought and is bringing, make us be- lieve that we are below the mark in our grand total of 1000, 900 for 1881. h our figures we have made no account of such properties as the Paiarito mines, the Devils Cash, the Esperanza, the Gun Sight, the Ora goon Pass properties, md dozen more of like character, all of which are in the hands of practically private capital, which is being expended ju- diciously and without any desire on the part of the owners for newspaper mention, many of which before a year will be producing great quanti- ties of bullion. Several mining men have placed our output for 1881 at $20,0OO, 900, which would bring Ari- zona to the second or third place in the list of metal. producing States and Territories.
 In view of such facts as these, take in connection with the enormous pro- duct which is on good grounds eI- pected In Sonora and Chihuahua, which necessarily must-at least most of it-fnd it's way to the United States via Tucson, the people of this Terri tory do not act prematurely in asking the establishment of branch mint a market for the results of their par amount industry. Arizona and Sonora in less than two years will astound the world with their production of the precious metals, and it is meet that the General Government shall take cognizance of the facts which can be presented. New Mexico, too, st least the western portion, would be benefit ed by branch mint at Tucson. The cost of shipment of so much bullion to the nearest market will present Itself at once to any thoughtful mind as an enormous expense, which the Government can lift from the shoul- ders of our people by the erection of 8 branch mint at Tucson.

{" Good Times Again.

The notable depression of business, which has existed in Tucson since the first of December, may now be ex- pected to cease. IL was due princi- pally to two causes. First, the an- nual taxes were due on the first of the year, and to many that fact was good reason for strict economy until the ne. cessary funds could be gathered to liquidate them. Secondly, there are probably not dozen men in Tucson who have resided here any length of time who are not interested in from one to a dozen or more mining claims, the assessment work on many of which was due at the commencement of the new year. These two causes alone were sufficient to draw from general circulation enough money to make its absence felt in much larger city than Tucson. They have now ceased to exist, and our people may now look for better times than have ever be- fore been seen in the city. The tax money is being disbursed and diStrib- uted into channels of trade again, and the miners who were employed to do the assessment work on the claims are now coming into town to make pur- chases, are sending for supplies. and are paying up old scores. Even now our merchants report general in- creae of business, and it nay be eI- pected to continue.

Presidential Courtesles.

Not long ago President Hayes wrote General Garfield, calling hIs attention 10 certain appointments that are about to expire, and desiring to know his wishes with regard to them. It was an act of generosity on the part of President Hayes, who wished to give General Garfield an opportunity 10 express his wishes as to the selection of men who will be bis suoOrdinates in office for the greater part of his term. The General wrote to Prcsi- dent Hayes that it was his wish that the present administration should 1lll all the vacancies occurring between now and the 4th of March, for he would then be relieved of great an- noyance He desired to escape tie lmportunities of office-seekers as long possible, and it would be great fa- vor if the nominations were made at so early date as would secure their confirmation before the expiration of President Hayes term. This friendly correspondence has become known 10 the mischief makers, who have used it as a peg to hang all sorts of specu- lation aud gossip upon.

Good Enough.

Ed. Longbottom, one of the Wash tngton Pool boys, has been stay. ing in town for several days, and left Thursday for home. Ed. still owns considerable property in his fa- vorlte camp, and is building 8 resi- dence there. Among his claims is the Chiquito, which lies between the Ella and Ohio, two of the pool mines. While in town he had Prof. Rickard make four assays from rock taken from across the bottom of the 32-foot shaft of the Chiquito, with the following results: No. l, S1s6 .92 silver and s627 gold; No. 2, sl6O. g silver; No. 3, s111.51 silver; No. 4, Sl7.27. This is pretty good for low grade smelling ore, considering that the shaft Is all in ore, with surface indications of ledge considerably wider.

Mining and Scleutlne fress.l
 Houses that have been empty may become fever breeders when they come to be reoccupjed. An English sanitary officer alleges that he has ob- served typhoid, diphtheria, or other zymOtic affections 10 arise under these circumstances. The cause is supposed to be in the disuse of cisterns, pipes and drains, the process of putretica- ton going on in the impure air in them, the unobstructed access of this air to the house, while the closure of doors and windows effectually shuts out fresh air. Persons moving from the city to their country homes for the summer should see that the drains and pipes are in perfect order, that the cellars and cisterns are cleared of rub bish, and the whole house thoroughly aired before occupying. CarbOlic acid used freely in the cellar is a good and cheap disinfectsnt.

MOTHER SYMPTOMS PROPHECY
The Famous old Woman's Prediction Other Idle Premonitions Of Evn in fSSI

As old Mother Shipton's propbecv will lose it's chief point Of interest after the present year, we cannot for. bear republIshing it. The prophecy first appeared over three hundred years ago, and has thus far been ful filled 10 a remarkable degree.
 Carriages without horses shall eo.
 And accidents fill the world with yoe
 Around the world thoughts shall av
 In the twinkliug of an eve
 Water shall yet more wonders do.
 Now strange, yet shall be true
 The world upside down shall be.
 And gold be found at root Of tree
 Through hills man shall ride
 And no horse or ass shall be at bis sit
 snail ride, shall sleep, shall talk.
 In the air men shall be seen
 In white, in black, in green.
 Iron in the water shall float
 As easy as wooden boat
 Gold shall be found, and found
 In q land that Is not vet known
 fire and water shall wonders do
 England at last shall admit q lew
 The world 10 an end shall come
 In eighteen hundred and eightv-ona
 Mother Shipton is not alone in bs, direful predictions of the evils to be' fall the present year. Even tue well. known English astronomer Pia1,i Smith is authority for the sta,emeo, that the so-called prophetic symbol. ism of the great Pyramid indicales that 1881 will be filled with disas,ers tC he earth.
 During the year the prevalence of planetary phenOmena will be remark able. The most interesting of these will be the twenty-year conjunction of fJupiter and Saturn in April. There will also be cOnjunctiOus of Jupiter and Mars, Venus and Jupiter, Saturn and Venus and Uranus and Neptune. These several interesting planetary diversions will afford a fine opportu- nity for astronomers, and the more de- mure astrolOgers will find therein food for reflection, aud evidences that the best laid plans of mice and astrologers will oft gang aglee."
 The gloomy prophecy of the Ja- macia Savant, however, plans the day of judgment during the year 1887, when the Star of Bethelem will appear in the heavens as Q warning To all men to make their peace with God and prepare for the eternal crack of doom.
 In reference to the year 1881, and the ominous peculiarity of the ar- engagement of It's numerical signi1- cation as connected with the figure 9 there is ample opportunity Of every variety of prOgnOstIcatiOns. Yet We must consider that while the figure Sis capable in this instance of confusing variety of traIstormatiCns, it has never been recognized as a prominent factor in scripturGl philosophy. The num- Der 2 has, however, ss illustrated in the prophecy of St. John, and il is impossible te use the figure as a sig niicant factor of 1881, and in conclu- sion, while we base the OminOus fig- ures 1881 as marking an epoch of the Christian era, we of that faith and es- pecIally tlmid and supeTstitious ones should remember that St. John in his says: If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plaques that are writ ten in this book, and If any man take away from the words of this prophecy, nod shall take away hIs part out of he book of life.

VOtal...-............ ... Hwenty-six charges.

Twenty-six charges.
 On December 18th, Senator Nor wood, of Georgia, one of Ihe Direct ors of the company, after watching Hahn for several days, discharged him with polite hint that he, Hahn, was either incompetent or the other thing. The Senator then directed me to take charge of the furnace. Hahn run the furnace, of and on, from No vembeT 1lth 10 December 18th. He used almost a Quary of limestone, over 5000 worth of iron ore (not in cluding my spOuts), many thousand bushels of coal and coke, wood, etc., at an expense to the company of many thousands of dollars, with the furnace, and the result of this Hahn, the Frei- berg fraud, was lust tloelUe bars of bull lion, weighing just 1272 pounds. Lots of slag, iron and lime, but precious little bullion. For the first few days he kept the slsg running llike water but no bullion. Why? Because he put no ore into the furnnce. Now, am no smelter; never worked or ran g smelter in my life until Hahn was forced out" by Norwood. I then ran the furnace about seventeen hours and the result was 131 bars of bullion ; weight l3, ,521 pounds, as per ship ment made by Messrs. Lord & Will Hams, of your city.
 l then changed my "charges, and put in some of the "charges" pre- pared by this Freiberg fraud, Hahn, and the result was I frose tls furnace as lard a5 granite. l then employed MT. James Jsmieson, Q "llye Yankee " boy from Maine. He immediately re- constructed the furnace according to the plans and specifications furnished by Messrs. Frazer 6 Chalmers, and the result is: He is running the fur mace day and night (Mr. R. s. Bar clay as his assistant), at a cost of but S14.15 per ton, tuI ming out over 5000 worth of bullion per day, leaving a clear profit to the company of S750 to $500 per day.
 And further, Mir Jamieson is not running on Alta ore, at S14S4 per ton, as charged by Hahn, but is running Holland ore straight.
 Now, as regards the solvency of this company: The entire indebtedness of the Holland Company does not ex- ceed S7000. That indebtedness is due principally to pr. Perrin, my brother. Major Fuller and myself. Very little is due the employees, as they draw their pay whenever they desire it. But If the company had continued this greiberg fraud as shelter, it would soon indeed have been poverty stricken" Either his incompetency CT rascality practiced here would have bankrupted the Rothschilds in time.
 One word more to this fraud and am done. The stockholders of the Holland Company are wealthy men, most of whom are bankers; and each and every one of them is willing to pay aa honest debt; but the question is, was this miserable fraud from Freiberg drawing his salary and at the same time trying 10 sell us out, '" or under the pay of others to iniure the reputation of Frazer & Chalmers 2
