The above is a very truthful likeness O. the famous stage drIver Hank Monk, well known to all overland travellers by stage to the Pacific coast before the trancontinental railroad was built. Hank Monk was always averse to be- coming a subject of notoriety, prefer ring to guide a siI-horse coach in the utmost security over the dangerous roads of the mountains. He never but once sat for a photograph, and that one exception was at the strong and persua- siye solicitation Of his personal friend, the late John T. Psntlind. who wished to uso a cut of the famous driver on the back of bill of fare for particular oc- cssion in Carson. Nevada. Hank Monk made Pantlind promise to destroy the photograph so soon as the wood cut was executed, and to have no other copies taken of the picture. Before leaving Tucson to die in San Francisco, Mir. Pantllnd presented the original wood cut to the CITIZEN with | promise to fur nish an interesting data concerning the noted character but his Il ness prevented him from doing SD. Hank was first made famous through his ride with Horace Greeley, when he brought the veteran journalist through on time" to fll his engagement to lecture in California towns. Al though Hank handled the ribbons all his life, he never met with but one dis aster-about two years Bgo-when he accidentally overturned Q stage, cir cumstance which has ever since greatly griaved him. He IS still doing good service in the far north, and will likely end his days still holding on the reius with a grip as strong as that of the dread messenger that shall summon hlTn AWAY

 of departure from the existing line IS a few miles cast of Tehachepi Pass Sum init, at Mcjave station, the northern

 of the existing road. The distance to the Colorado river Is about 24O miles; of this distance 100 miles eastward from Nohsve station have been constructed and are now open for traffic.

A WASHINGTON telegram regards the fact as peculiarly significant that Don and Simon Cameron and Senator Mitchell of Pennsylvania, collectively sat upon a sofa in Washington, 6 few days ago. The circumstance was truly remarkable, inasmuch as no crash of matter and wreck of worlds resulted therefrom. They simply sat upon a sofa and thereupon the bloody chssm was brigded and the political differences of a great State harmonized. Whether Mitch ell first wInked a significant wink at Father Simon, which, by contagion set Don Cameron blinking with both eyes, or the contrary was the case, the dis patch leaves us in utter ignorance. Had either gentleman spoken a word, the busy wires would certainly have repeatsdit. They simply sat together and the occult psychological influences of the contact dissolved all prejudice snd passion; the three great minds leaned lovingly one upon the other; the whole room was filled with the halo of glory, and an united commonwealth is boisterous with spontaneous rejoic-

He IS thoroughly enterprising, and desires to see the me iropohs Of Arlzona flourish with healthy life and vigorous growth.

THE contest for the office of Mayor will probably be between Hon. H. S. Stevens and NIT. C. M. Strauss, both lD- dependent candidates. NIT. Stevens has large property interests in the city, and has the advantage of experience ID public offices, and is eminently quail fled to ill the position satisfactorily to all. Mr. Strauss, perhaps has no equal in commercial affairs and hls quallhca- tions are simply of business character which, however rare they may be ID that lne, can hardly be counted as claims to Q public office. The choice between the two will not admit of 6 moments hesitation particularly if the welfare of the city be the first consider stion of the voter. and there can be no reasonable doubt that MT. Stevens will be our next Mayor.

4 GOOD EXHIBIT.

There are many cor ,5rsHous producing large sums from r-rss n this Territory, whose stock is -,'i,,ei on the Stock Boards, and the s-5ult oi their product is unknown be- ,7ri the stockholders. We call to mind ,ar.rsl such companies in the Southern -5-.ions of the Territory, and there are os--.inly others in the Norfh Many -rrs-s of rich mines, also. ere Shippiag m. % mills in Colorado, California and Baltimore. whose large output cuts no =-r-e in the above amount.

 It will be seen that some of the s-sstest mIues Of the Territory-thoEe ,t C..fton-Rre not mentioned, while ,hs.- product Is among the millions. There are also Emelters in great num- 5e-s scattered throughout the Territory, ,gaitG1tly adding to the aggregate million product If the facts could be accurately arrived at 1t would be found ta: Arizona is adding a million dollars pe- month to the wealth of the world, - iis bulLon output.
 From the same source We quote the dividends declared by Arizona con- ,a-its for the same period, as follows:
 Contention Consolidated, $625,OOO; C5rDer Qleen, S375, 900; Grand Central, sI-s,U0. Silver King, S275,OOO; Tomb stone, S2O0. .-0O; Vizina, Sl00,000 Total, ;L7j10o0.

 Anzoua nov stands fourth in the list t dividend paying mines, and from the -sFl strides 1t is making it will head ;-s list within the next two years. It a,saly exceeds California, and has nearly reached Colorado, lacking but ,ro hundred thousand dollars.

IaTapai Ores.

As a general thing in northern Ari' zoRa ores upon the surface are free mill lng. and so long as the ore remains such ID going down upon the various mines which have been worked good results were achieved, but so soon as water level is struck and sulphurets appear the ordinary machinery in use fails to save the metal and suspension of opera tions Is necessary.
 h every instance, without single exception. assays show the sulphuret ores to be the richer, hence the only thing to make mining a success in all this section is the proper machinery for the treatment of rebelious ores. EX- perienctd men to operate the machinery necessary for properly treating these ores is also very essential Mining, like other things, must be dealt with intelli- gently, and beeause one run upon cer- tain ore fails to pay 1t does not necessa- rily follow that another run will not. A farmer may make failure in his crop one year and the next have beneficial results. 4 freighter may make one trip to Salt river at loss and the next st q profit: and so it is with mining. Good management and favorable circum- stances have much to do with the treat ment uf ores.
 Yavapai ores, the deeper down In mother earth the richer they prove to be, and the verdict of those best calcu- lated to judge tell us that nowhere Tn the United States are to be found such A number of rich mines as here III Yav- apai county.
