Especial Correspondence of the CITIZEN
 TYSDAL DISTRICT, December l5.-Your WEEKLY CITIZEN is quite favorite in this camp, and one of the boys is regularly dispatched to Tubac on Mon- day to bring it up with the rest of the mail matter.
 We have petitioned the Postofiice De- partment, within short time, to estab- fish weekly horseback mail between this camp and Tubac. Service can be procured cheap, the distance being only eight miles. Yet, if mining matters pro- ceed as lively as they appear at present, We might move the Tubac postoffice up here.
 Mark Lulley, the lately appointed road-overseer is doing splendid work on the county road leading to Tubac, and you can soon roll over it at 2:40 gait.
 The mines, as whole, look promising. The Beckie and Charley, owned by Charles Altschul, Ezekiels and Lulley, has a two-foot vein with one foot of chlorides and galena, carrying $50 in l silver to the ton. The Lulley, owned by the same parties, shows a large body of decomposed ore, assaying S2SO III gold and silver.
 The Southern Pacific and Oakland mines are looking as well as ever. A contract has been let to sink on both of them to q depth of one hundred feet.
 Campbell starts in this week to do d lot of work on Goldtree Hill. The Cranz brothers are continuing work on Salero Hill and have about twenty-five men employed.

But there are breaks in the ranks. They do not all share the frugal meal oi the poor prospector, nor enjoy the felicity of the home circle. High up on the summit of the Sierra, low down m the ragged canyon, and still lower Tn the quiet valley, under lofty pine or massive boulder, or by the roadside, many an one who saw the year open its hOspitable gate, has wandered forth from it and hast taken a final rest there, ''unnOticed, uE' mourned and forgottenT
