Yuma Items. TEraa D-.-ar

Mir. and Mrs. Archie McBnde Ter;
 Yuma Tuesday night on their return t.
 Tombstone. They seemed tu think thui
 MT. McBnde's health will be improved
 by home surroundings.
 A party of capitalists will shortly
 arrive in Yuma en route for the Sautu
 Domingo mines. They intend pur- ! chasing the property of Col Lyman A. Smith. Major Vim. F. Furrer uf Wash IngtOn city, will form one of the party. As soon as they arrive vehicles will Dc
 seLt out to Adonde or Gila Bend t,, await their coming by train, when 0 two or three days pleasant ride will land the party at the mines.
 Our new Governor F. A. Tritle, paid Yuma a visit this week The Guvernai called upoL everybody and everybud, called upon him. He has impressed everyone most favorable, as he seems to be the man for the place and the plac, for him. All who have met him speak m the highest terms of him and We cal only trust that he will ever have the good opinions of the people of Arzoua.
 The Governor spent the early part of the day visiting and inspecting tr,- penitentiary, aDd was much pleased c, 1nd everything Tn excellent order auc properly managed by Capt. Wn. Meeden.
 We have gathered the following iu- formation of railroad affairs, which k oi interest to the public: CIl ChaImer- Scott, Oi the Southern Pacific Cumpiny returned from Tucson on Wednesday morning, and after shipping his snr- veying outfit to that city, went back himself the same eyenine. A line Of sur veys will be run from Gila Bend and one from PicachO to connect wirh the re. gently surveyeI route from Tucson tu Fort LObOs on the Gulf of California. The connection will be made at Arivaipa. These surveys have in view simply a determination of the most feasible load to point OfconnectiOn with the South ern Paclhc road. and one most likely to head oil the Atohisul., Topeka and Sa1.- ta Fe road. Port LObos is an open road stead, but il forms better harbur than Santa Monica and fully as good one as Santa Barbara There IS no surf at all. Tue country to be traversed m case the road shall be constructed, is open and with easy grades, and possessed of splen- dId grazing and mineral resources. Col. OSOth III bElci dliISlin Jo US Weditu aptly stated that "it is an Aladlin's lamp rusty from disuse and only waiting Am erican industry to rub from 1t inexhauSt- | ible and fabulous wealth" It is a diff cult matter for an outsi Ter to ulder- | stand exactly what a railroad corpora ! ti in Is driving at but 1t looks as thOu sh [ the Southern Pacific c ,mpany intended . to build a road or bluff the AtchisOn aul . Topeka people out of half interest in ! their Mexican property.

IHE Indians of Indian Territory have
 a peculiar manner of expressing their

 Jay Gould they are killing bis en- plugees on the line of railroad running through their lands. A dispatch says "The Indians in tle Territory have been very much dissatisfied b cause Jay Gould has secured the St. Louis aud San Funcisco hne running through that country, and have heretofore vowed ven- geaucs.

TIE Sisters of St. Joseph expect to
 give their proposed fair sometime dur
 ing the early part of May. They think
 and 1t Is to be hoped. that it will be what
 they hope to make il, a grand success.
 Many merchants whose names We are
 not yet at liberty to give, have con- tributed quite hberally, but none more so than our esteemed friend Don Carlos
 Velasco of the Fronterizo, who most
 generously contributed his entire share,
 which was half. of the proceeds derived from the dramatic entertainment of La Piedra de Toque," which was performed before a full audience in Levin's Hall about week ago, and wherein the act ing of Mr. Velasco won much deserved applause. Mrs. Captain Smith has con- sented to assume control as directress and under her management affairs al- ready begin to assume definite shape
 A meeting of the ladies was to have been had at the Convent last night, but the arrival of General Sherman so occupied the ladies attention that postponment was had till the coming Saturday night, when 1t is to be hoped that full at tendance will be had as the Si,ters desire the perfecting of arrangements that nothing may be wanted when the time arrives for giving it. A suitable building will be selected, most probably the one formerly occupied by Goodman on Convent street. It is to be hoped that all the ladies willing and wishing to assist will not fail to be on hand at the meeting called for next Saturday night.

MesSrs Bedding and Leavy having se- cured the building formerly occupied by J. NJ. Berger as a Iewelry store. and are fitting it mp as a saloon preparatory to public opening on the afternoon of Sat urday next Both gentlemen named are old and adept hands at the business. Mir. Bedding at one time conducted the famous "EldoTado." a name dear to the heart of every Comstocker, and which was fitted up at an expense of S30,OOO and whose glory paled only when Vir- ginia City ceased its hustle and became a silent and half deserted camp. The Eldorado of Tucson although not fitted up with all the elegance ofits prototypic- al namesake 1t will have all the require ments of a first-class saloon. The bar. the handicraft of Mir. Fitzpatrick, is of black walnut and fitted with every mod ern device for facilitating the mixing of drlnks and the ready serving of those whose patronage it seeks. The walls are adorned with the best paper that the town affords and the room lit with two beautiful three drop chandeliers which together with the magnificent side board make it among saloons king among the best. Nothing but the best A No. l i'm ported hquors will be handled, and the cigars sold will be of like quality In the rear Of, and adjoining tbe saloon wlll be the sporting room similarly furn- ished which will be under the charge of the well-known Billy Mover. and back of that will be the store room and ont houses, the latter furnished with patent wash stands, water sinks. etc. Both the proprietors are well known gentlemen of good social and financial standing and their venture in the new EldOradO will undoubtedly hs . deserving saesssa

Because of increased business, the
 banking house of Hudson < Co. have
 been forced to enlarge their premises to
 nearly double their former capacity An
 additional room has been added tO their
 banking department, and the counter
 extended to twice its former length. By
 the introduction of all modern apph-
 ances with which banking houses are
 provided, including gigantic fireproof
 vault, the house has been made tu wear metropolitan look, as it uuquestionably
 is in business. Besides their working capital, their surplus cash now on hand amounts to fully S25,00O, which, by be- ing all 'wed to remain, thus becomes ad- ditional security. All mortgages and other securities taken are held in the the name of the bank, as are the entire properties of the different members Of the finn and are pledged for its liabil- ities.

COPPER WORKS
Grand schone Contemplated by the saat.
 Rita Land and Mining Company

If Tucson had taken the necessary
 measure to have had smelling works
 erected in this place it could have up-
 'ioubtedly have had them, hut by ipdif-
 ference and negligence the go'den op-
 oortunity for deriving substantial bene-
 its from such enterprise N II soon be
 lost, as the Santa Rita Land and Mining
 Company have. through Col. Sykes. an
 nounced their Intention of erecting
 works for the reduction of cooper ar
 Browns station on the Altar road about
 twenty miles south of this place. AL though the works are to be put up os-
 tenslbly for the reduction of the product of their own miues at San Xavier at the same time they announce their intentions of buying all the copper ores supplied from the sur. rounding country. A force of men will be put to work on the Monday coming. and the works which will be erected up- der the supervision of MT Thos. H. Sel- by. of San Francisco, will be in readines, for operation in about ninety days from he present tune. The works will be ad- vantageously situated between the cop- per bearing belts on either side. Itis the purpose of the Company to male them complete in every respect and of size to compete with any and all similar works in the country. In the course of month the Company will have ready graduated scale of prices by which all ores will be bought and will then begin their purchase. All sellers can ind market, as the ore will be bought by the burro load up to ten thousand tons. Later on the company will erect works ID Calabasss for the reduction of l pres of every nature. At the present l it is impossible to forecast the l immense influence that such works will | nave on the country surrounding them 'or fifty miles and if not too late it be- looves Tucson to put her shoulder to he wheel and by liberal bonus induce he company to erect their proposed | works at this place. and so bring a rale to this place which otherwise, must eventually go past it.
