The Picacho mine is one of the fa- nous mines of the early days in this Toritor, for the large amount of bull lion it produced and the richness of it's ore. When it was being worked, it must have been lively scene a.,out the old mine, as the ruined furnaces, dismautled arrasJras and great piles of waste -ndi- cate the immense amount of work done
 From the best authenticated accounts the mine al taat time produced S3J9W0 ia bullion. The ore ssas very rich. the
 rl---4re being worth dollar per pound. TheG5e passed curreut at from fifty cents to one dollar Der pound
 Inc character of the ore changed at the wa;er level te a rich gray oia. fine hol. heia- ah9ut u- feet iu r5i.l. The influx ot water anl daseutiuus among Jha owners caused a cessation .f work Gntii the volume o5 water became too large to.be packed aut oa the heads. ;s was the oli Mexican manner of hoist ins water. The mine was abandoned and allowed to cave in, although it had "4ly been worked to a depth or little over twa i1udrod feet.

 Bell flo7.er is down 97 feet con ten foot yoin, 2a inches of which viii assay S75 Perton. On the 60 foot level one blast knocked down about 10000 pounds of rock. it k the intention of MT.

The orcs are rich Carbonates of silver and lead and coutinuslly improving with Increasing depth of shaft They are held by Tucson parties under a working bond of six months expiration and the indica- cions are, that they made a most fortu- nate move whenthey succeeded in get ting them al the figure they did. for Mr. Rusk said, and he by his mahy years of experience should be a practical judge. that he believes better foundation for good mines are not to be found in the country, than the Richmond and Bell flower claims.

TOY PISTOLS

IT thee Is one thing that boy from ten to fifteen years Of age wants just a little more than anything else 1t IS a ] pistol or revolver And if there Is any
 thing in this wide world that he should
 not have, it Is this self-same pistol.
 Some enterprising Yankees have taken
 advantage of this boyish propensity and
 have gone into tle manufacture Of a
 cheap, east iron pistol, which they have
 advertised very extensively where it will
 be sure to attract the attention Of the
 boys.
 The result Is that accidents are of al-
 most daily occurrence, many of them
 fatal, all of them painful and none of them necessary were it not that these
 murierous toys aIe sold at from one dol lar to 8 dollar and quarter thas placing them within the reach Of the average boys savings.
 One of the most painful accidents from this cause is detailed by the San Diego Union:
 Yesterday afternoon, between i've and SIX o'clock, a serious accident occurred. which k almost certain to result in the death or a little girl !t appears that Agnes licCcrmIcE, aged about ten years. and her youLC brother were sweeping out fine school house. m Sherman's Ad- l dI-iou, a5 was their custom, when Wal | ter EerEig. lad about tbe same age. aH a. ham toy pistol. lu th, spiTi; of fun, he l presented the pistol at the little girl, at l .he same time snapulng 1t, and cTclaim- I nc, 'yonr money or yoUr life.

HE Tombstone Nugget thinks that Sheriff Behan of Cochise county made a good defense to the charge Of perjury in swearing to certain bills presented to the Board of Supervisors That coodCg defense was that the Clerk Of the Board
 s not authorized by statute to admins ter oa.hs, therefore an oath to a false hood made before said clerk does not constitute perjury. That may be good legal technical defense but mighty poor one to go before the community. Some thing is terribly rotten in Tombstone.

 1 WASHINGTON, February 2.-Blaine has
 sent letter to the Associated Press re-
 counting that on January 30 he address ed letter to the President asking him,
 in view of allusions made by Freling- huysen to the proposed Congress of
 American nations and of the fact that
 the scope and design of the Congress
 had been greatly misunderstood, to di-
 rect the publication of the original in-
 yitation or to grant him tBlaine) permis-
 sion to publish it, and that in the after
 noon the President sent a verbal mes sage that he saw no objection to the
 publication but had referred the matter
 to the Secretary of State; that yester-
 day the Chief Clerk of the Secretary Of
 State sent a note that Frelinghuysen
 would publish the dispatch when called
 for by Congress: that this morning he
 lBlaine) by note asked Windom, Chair
 man of the Committee on Foreign Rela- tions, to call for the correspondence; that on the arrival of the New York pa pers he saw published therein the docu- ment in question, but with many errors. The dispatch was obtained surreptitious- ly by some means to him unknown. He then furnishes a corrected copy of the original document It begins with reference to the well known peaceful attitude of the [ tnitej States which has caused other American republics Co often asi, it, advice and arbitration.
