PROMOTING MILK.

The following from the London Live
Stock Journal is a good statement Of
some practical paints suggesting the ex-
tent to which milking qualities are de-
pendent on treatment and training:
"a copious flow of milk, sustained
through many months, is 4 quality
which has been produced by art IN do
mestitation. Wild cattle rarely provide
more than enough milk to rear their
own offspring. and the flow Of it Is of
comparatively short duration. Small in
volume, the milk is rich in quality, but
the lacteal organs soon dry off again.
This, OF course, is in harmony with the
requirements of the young animals in
wild state, and is correlation Of the
rowing life and the haphazird feeding
of the dams. More milk than the calf
required under such conditions would
be waste of material energy which ma
ture does not encourage. IL would,
moreover, be an encumbrancc to the
mother. Wild cattle are neither good
mixers nor good fattenerS, and in parts
of England where calves are allowed TO
run with their domcsticaied dams gen.
Grafton after generation, the breed Of
such animals is not famous for milkgiv-
ing. Like that OF the mare and eve.
the milk is smaller in quantity. rich in
quality and OF short duration. The de-
sultory and irregular sucking Of calf
or foal OF lamb is not conducive TO the
development OF 4 large flow OF milk.
and it distinctly tends 10 shorten the
flow. Hand-milking OF 4 similar char.
acter has the same effect. Young peo-
pie are allowed 10 learn how TO milk on
cows who are going dry for calving,
not on those who are still in full flow.
New beginners soon dry up cows
milk. and bad mixers do the same.
Heavy milking properties, then. are
artificial, in the sense that they have
been developed under domeS,icaiion.

The Mail Contract Scheme.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 7.-On motion of council for the government, the hearing of the case of the sureties for the mail contractors has been postponed until Wednesday next. Bail ranging from $l,500 to s]5,000 has been suggested by Col. Bliss.
 Information has been obtained from reliable authority that mum Der of civil suits will be instituted soon against several parties connect. ed with the star route schemes, to recover large sums of money which, it is alleged, have been illegally and improperly obtained from the United States government. Most of the suits will be brought in New York, as that is the meeting place of the parties who will become defendants, and where service can easily be ob- tained upon them. Very few, if any, suits will be entered in this city.

is not far from 400 miles long. The concession substantially duplicates, as to requirements and privileges, that given to General Grant for a line through the State of Oajaca. Seven years are allowed for the completion of the entire road. The survey must begin within four months, twenty five miles of road constructed within two years, at least sixty miles the third year and seventy-five miles each year thereafter. No subsidy is asked, but the freight and passenger tariff is about fifty per cent higher than those allowed the Mexican Central and Sonora railroads established.
 All material for the construction and operation of the railroad and tel egraph enters duty free for fifteen years. The capital stock and all property of the company are exempt from taxation for fifty years. This line will be the natural and shortest outlet to the Pacific for the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe line, now nearly completed to the town of Cal abasas, Arizona. to which point the new line will be extended. The inn portance of the proposed road can hardly be overestimated.

 Every one of the above mines was in the asst ssnent list during the past year. This has never occurred before.
 Were we sure the next five years would bring us one-sixth of the above amount, it would be safe to predict that our bullion output would be increased to an extent that would make the hearts of all those interested leap with joy. Here. unlike the once famous WashOe mining district, where the mines were all confined to the great Comstock lode, the mines are distrib. uted over very large area, and the ores are of so ire and trsctable nature that very high percentage of ihe precious metals IS cheaply and easily extracted. The veins outside the Contention lode, and the bedded veIns of the Tough Nut and Goodenough, are not so large as those found in many other localities, but their easy access, uniformity of structure and contents, and soft enclosing country rock that readily yields to practical labor at q cost far below the majority of mining dis trlcis, place the mines of Tombstone be- fore the mining world in most attractive form. If the movement that is now on foot in San Francisco is consummated, we predict d complete and successful revolu ton in the methods of capitalization and mine management for the future, and then the boom that has been looked for will set in in earnest and Tombstone and the me tropolis of the Pacific be mutually ben efited.

Special to the Epitaph.
 GUAYMAs, Mexico, Dec. 30th, via Tuscon.-The American consul, Mir. Willard, has received dispatch from Hermosilla, giving an account of a raid by the dreaded Apaches in the district near Ornara, between the Bronzes and Trinidad. A. M. May nard and son with sixteen others were all killed or wounded. The at tack was made on plain beyond Ornara, known as the Palmites, from the amount of palm trees in that regions. The Indians got away with the stock, arms, etc. A requisition on the government for all long range < arms was promptly responded to by MT. Randall of this district, and half a car load of arms and munitions of war went forward yesterday. Seri. ous fears are felt that the raid may extend over the valley of the Sonora river.

WEEKLY MINING REPORT
The Bonanza Mines Hold Their
 Own Against All Odds.
New Developments in Outside Mines
 of Great importance.
COMPARISONS.

The most important lessons in mining are often drawn from comparisons. The discovery of Tombstone led to the adop- tion of system for the development of mines, to large extent, Tn direct Opposi- ton to that praclised in California and Nevada, where the assessment plan had been adopted in the early days of mining, and has since been maintained in full force and effect. The Schietfelin brothers and Gird gave an interest in their mines for money to develop them and build mills. Other mines were capitalized in the East, and liberal portion of the stock set apart and sold to raise the necessary money to operate them. Since then large number of companies have been organized both East and West upon the same liberal prin- ciples in the majority of cases this sys- tenn has worked well and the only cases of failure that have come to our notice have been where the amount of working capital thus provided has been inadequate, or the mine management bad There are not ex-
 
 ceeding halfdogeu mines in Tombstone being operated on the assessment plan, and judging from our standpoint, they do not make headway, to any considerable extent, over those organized upon the former plan. This locality, however, is an exception to the Californian rule. Had California and Nevada capital been invested In Tomb. stoDe at the time the Schieffeln and Gird interests were under bond to the San Fran cisco parties there is no doubt but what there would have been millions invested here now, where there are simply hun. dreds oi thousands. To illustrate, and make plain the comparison between the two systems so far as keeping up a steady influx of capital, we append the following tabula,ed list prepared and published by the San Francisco Bulletin, showing what the assessment plan has done for the Con- stock mines during the last five years. The Bulletin says:
 The record of dividends and assessments on 29 of these mines for the past five years has been as follows:

IT seems plain as daylight that George Q. Cannon IS ineligible as a delegate from Utah. He has tho votes, but is not a legally naturalized citizen, and the governor refused to give him certificate on..that ground But it does not follow that Camp bell is chosen, as he got only 1857 out of 1895 votes. It is pretty muddle any way. If the territory could only be abolished, it would help straighten things wonderfully.

A LOST MINE.
RediscOvered by Party of PrOs- pectOrs-Immense Beds of Cop
 per In the santa Catalina.
From the Citizen, Jan. Q.

From the Citizen, Jan. Q.
 Fifteen years agO-almOst an age In a frontier town, to judge from the progress made in that peried of time-Mr Isaac Goldberg, P. w. Dooner, and others made Prospeciing trip 10 the Santa CatalInas after fabulous gold mines that were sup. posed to exist somewhere among the sum. init peaks of that rocky and almost inac- cessible range. To reach the higher DOT. tiOns it was necessary to take circuitOus route and asceLd from the side opposite Tucson.
 In exploring the dizzy heights and dis. nal canyons, the party lost their bearing and wandered about the mountains for several days until their provisions were about exhausted, and in their uncertain wanderings discovered huge ledge of very fine copper ore. At that remote period of time copper mines were not thought to be very valuable, and but little attention was paid to the accidental discovery, and location was not accurately observed. The party made theIr way out of the mountains with rapidty accelcr ated by the bangs of hunger, and con. graduated themselves more upon a safe return to this city than upon results con- tingent upon their discoveries They, however, made four or five subsequent at tempts to find the copper ledge so GU. riOusly discovered, but always with uni form want of success, and the nine days tiresOme wandering of the previous trio were set down as barren of al, profit.
 Very recently Mir Isaac Goldberg made up small party, including member of the former party, and started out with deter.aination to find the lost ledge at all hazards. They were more fortunate this time than before, and succeeded in Ie- discovering the bonanza, which is but q thousand feet from the mountain stream, which below the mountain is called Rill ito creek, and but fifteen miles in straight line from Tucson, although eighty miles by the only feasible trail. The ledge was located by Isaac Goldberg, Andrew Or ,n. ley and James Lee. and Samuel Hughes was located in an exlention. The crop pings brought in were very rich and average specimens gave by assay over thirty per cent copper. The ledge is said to be enormously wide, with strong and bold croppings. Old miners who have heard the particulars of the find and have seen the ore, say that il is the most i'm. portant discovery ever made in the vicinity of Tucson, and it's value to the owners i |, beyond computation. The romance of it's original discovery and the subsequent search for it have woven ar interest about the mile that will be as lasting as the wonderful lode itself

LATEST TELECRAMS.
The Guiteau Trial .

WASHINGTON, Jan. 7.-There has been no new development in the Guiteau case. Judge Cox is engaged in the preparation of his decision upon the law points. Davidge will then be ready to proceed at once with the opening argument for the prosecutions; but it is thought an ad- iournment will be taken until Mon- day.
 WASHINGTON, Jan. 6. = In the Guiteau case this morning Da- vidge opened the arguments upon legal points, and was followed with close attention. The jury were told by the judge they might be excused for the day, but all preferred to re- main and listen to the argument.
 The prisoner assured his coun el he would not ask to take any part in the legal arguments to-day, but should insist upon making any com ments he might deem necessary to set them right. As the arguments progressed Guiteau pretended to read letter, but in reality followed Davidge with the closest attention. The few interruptions he made were unnoticed by counsel, save when he called out, "I didn't know the diff ference between right and wrong; l had no chance; if l had I would not have done it." To this Davidge said, "We will come to that by and by."
 The first sensation of the day was caused by the reading of Judge Davis New York charge to the jury in the Coleman murder case. Judge Porter relieved Davidge and read from newspaper slips.
 Scoville, with some impotence, objected to any more such dramatic efforts on the part of Porter, intended for effect upon the jury, and insisted he, Potter, might as we'll read a stump speech to the jury; that he, Porter, knew that it had no bearing upon the case.
 "Of course he krows it," Guiteau shouted; "and more than that, the jury decided the case directly against the charge of the court"
 Judge Porter repelled the insinua- ton, and insisted that the farce which had so long been enacted by counsel for the defense must now stop; if not rebuked by the court it would be by others.
 Judge Cox ended the dispute by saying the matter read was undoubt- ediy authority; its applicability to this case could be commented upon by counsel at the proper time.
 Davidge resumed, when Guiteau again shouted, Il want to get this thing right before the jury. Every one knows about that Coleman case, The jury gave verdict against that charge, and the prosecution knows it we'll"
 The effect was electrical when Da. vidge, in the most deliberate and ear nest manner said, "Your honor, this man has for three weeks been held up to us as an imbecile, and now lis- ten to him; he not only knows the difference between right and wrong, but he fully understands the law of the case"
 Guiteau-.Transitory mania--that's my case. I don't pretend I am in- sane now. Pve got as good head as you, or Porter either. Scoville is a fool though; l repudiate him and his whole theory of defense. All l want is two hours before the jury, and can settle this thing all right.
 The scene was lively one for a few minutes. Judge Cox rapped for order, and Davidge continued with out further interruption to the end of his argument.
