Wonderful Copper Mine.
IGInha Chrnnicle.l ]


 The copper production of Arizona Ter ritory promises to astonlsh the world The Copper Queen, with its constantly increasing product, the Huachuca com pany, and last and foremost, the Clifton mines, are among the best copper pro ducers. The Silver City Chronicle has the following in relation to the latter:
 "After our arrival at the great Clifton copper mines We were entertained by the firm owning the Longfellow, the Queen, the Coronado and other mlnes Tn the immediate vicinity. 4 brief examination of these mines is all that Is necessary to determine their great extent and re- markable wealth in copper. They are far superior to the Lake Superior ore and other copper mines yet discovered on this continent. This Is big language, but I speak from the book. l was also surprised to see the amount of work that has been done in and around Clifton. Messrs. Lesinsky S Co. have done more solid work and expended more money Tn the development of these mines than one not acquainted with them could conceive. They have run railroad l29- inch gauge) nearly four miles to thelr main works, at a cost of SSU,OOO. The day before we left, their engineer came in to survey and make an estimate on the cost of a road from the LonGfellow mine to the Coronado, the distance being about four miles. Mr. Chas. Leslnsky informs us that the building of the road would make big hole in half million dollars, but he says the work Is necessary to proper working of the mines, and that it will be built, and expects to have it completed and ready for operation by the 4th of July next. There are many other mines that I could speak of, and which would be very interesting to your readers-mines that are far above the average-but space and opportunity for bid. It is hardly necessary for me to say that the group of copper mines owned by Metcalfe, Porter and Crawford, situ- ated in what is known as the Metcalfe mountain, are superior Tn extent to any mines found in that vicinity.
 These mines have as yet been but lit | tie worked, but the extensive deposits oi ore found in them Is truly astonishing The Stevens mines, on which great | deal of work has been done lone tunne being 230 feet deepl, snow a splendid body of ore. The Mexican group, con sisting of four claims, shows the same as also the Clay group, owned by Met | calfe and Crawford In the near future you and I, Mr. Editor, will see 100 tons of ingot copper shipped daily from these mines by rail to the markets of tho ! --nr1I

ImnOrtant Arrests.

About two weeks ago the premises Of Mr. Hoffman, in the I \ l. lodging
 house, were entered and robbed of lot
 of clothing and a sewing machine, to the value of several hundred dollars. Act ing under instructions of Marshal Butt ner, the theft was not made public. He, however, went to work in the usual quiet manner, and soon found the sewing ma chine in house near the old Cemetery. This gave him clue, which he followed up, and which led to the arrest yester- day of James Flanagan, who immediate ly confessed his guilt.
 On Monday night some one entered the corral connected with the Oakland saloon, and stole therefrom forty bottles of claret Marshal ButtDer was at once informed of the robbery, and yesterday arrested a Mexican named Romerez, an old offender, who had been seen in the neighborhood on the night in question. The proof against him Is positive, and | there can be no doubt of his conviction. The arrest of the thief Tuesday for robbipg the jewelry store of Messrs. Lucas X O., about three weeks ago, was the first our citizens learned of this extensive steal. The circumstances of l the robbery are supposed to be as fol- lows: The clerk in charge of the store | was away at breakfast, and the only one left on the premises was the watch | maker, in the rear of the store. During | the salesman's absence a thief 'sneaked | in and took out of the show window the | two most valuable watches 1t contained, | valued at four hundred and fifty dollars. The case was placed in the hands of | Chief Buttner, and nothing was further heard of it until yesterday. While on | his rounds in the Barrie LIbro the at- tention of Marshal Buttner was attract | ed by the suspicious movements of sev, | eral Mexican women. As soon as his | presence was snoticed, they immediately separated. Buttner, suspecting that all was Eiot right, followed OneOf the womeI | to her house and entered by rear dool as she came in from the street. Int | woman, not seeing him, pulled out {
 watch and placed in on table and trleC | to slip it to another woman who wal present. At this moment Buttner step
 ped in and picked it up before the wo
 mans accOmplice could reach It. I'm
 mediately recognizing 1t as one of th'
 watches stolen from Lucas & O., anC
 thinking the other might also be on tn
 same premises, Buttner stepped out t'
 one of the fire and police alarm boxe
 that was close at hand, and sent word t
 headquarters for assistance. The sum
 mons was answered in few moments b,
 the appearance of officers Johnson an'
 Clifford Buttner had by this time mad
 up his mind as to who the thief was, &
 leaving his aids to watch the premises
 he went in search of the suspected man
 After couple of hours search, Buttne
 found his man, and also the other watcl
 on his person. This removed all doub as to his guilt, and he was taken to jail.

Final Pickings.
LDrill.l


 The Specie Paying, at Mineral Hill, has struck a foUr-fOot ledge, samples from which shown to us go S5f6.
 The Silver King company has put up A new blast furnace at the mill, to work up slag, etc, left over from the smelters.
 The ledge in the Silver Queen IS 3s feet wide, of which four feet carry Hl- yer, the remainder averaging 3O percent. copper.
 NIT. Dennis has arrived from Califor- mia, to take the position of Superintend- ent of the Pinal Con. company's mines at Belle Air. Work on the mine and road is progressing favorably. Another saloon is going to be opened, winch ls urgently called for, as there are at pres ent only five saloons for more than eighty persons. The two construction camps on the road bear the elegant and significant names of Drunkville and Hungry Camp.
 A petition to the Postofiice Depart ment has been circulated this week 1T Pinal, and signed by every one who car write, asking for reduction of the mal time from Casa Grande. Fifty-siI mllei in eighteen hours is certainly not dan gerous rate of speed. A good pedes trian could do better. This Is, We be lieve, Star route, but from the erratl' nature of its course 1t would seem to bt more properly chased amongst thu comet family.

San Catarina Mining Co.

Dr. Kane, the resident managerof this company, is in receipt of news from Hyatt's Camp, where the mines are situ- ated, stating that eleven and half miles of the new road have already been graded, and is good enough to carry over it any kind of heavy machln- cry. It is only one week since opera tions were first commenced, and 1t shows energetic work and a liberal policy, to have accomplished so much work ln so short time. The building of the road has presented many difficulties; the nat ural grades have been reduced and curves almost entirely avoided. The quick work is mainly due to efficient en- gineers, "large corps of men, and nc meagre supply of dobies." This com pany is certainly pushing matters, and evidently means business. Supt. w. B, Scott has just returned from San Fran cisco, where he contracted for the nec- essary machinery and smelters, and the company propose to be ready for the work of turning out bullion, thirty days after the machinery reaches the mines

Placer Mining in Graham County.

MT. Wm. F. Clarke, attorney for the Clifton Hydraulic Company, is in the city for a few days, in the interests of the company. The corporation IS a New York organization, with a capital stock of five million dollars, every share of which was taken as soon as issued. Their mines comprise an area of about 10000 acres of land, commencing about one mile from Clifton and extending fir teen miles on both sides of the San Francisco river. These placers were dis covered ten years ago by Mir. Mason Greenlee, and the district was named after him. He worked the placers prof itablv in a crude way and they have been worked more or less since that tune by a MT. Pickard of California; the Bentz | brothers and the LaramOre brothers Of St. Louis, from whom the company pur- | chased. The gravel yields from five cents to over two dollars per pan, the richest being of coarse nearest the bed | rock. The gold IS course and undoubt- edly had it's origin in the immense gold ledges that exist in that vicinity. The deposit exists on the mesa for some dis tance each side of the river, and the gravel in some places is fully hundred | feet deep. A representative of the com papy, who examined the mines, made a most satisfactory report of thelr value,
 on the strength of which the
 purchase was made and the work of de- velopment begun. The water will be | brought fifteen miles in iron pipes and fumes. Six miles of piping IS already on the ground, and 1t will be laid as rapidly as circumstances will permit. Five thousand inches of water will be the capacity of the hydraulic works. and it is expected that everything will be ln readiness to commence active mining | operations within thirty days.
 MT. Clark thinks that Graham county will yet prove the richest mining section
 of the Territory and that the county will
 soon rank among the most prosperous. | Notwithstanding its recent organization, it has no public or private debt ahd 1t is the purpose of those v.o guide its desti-
 nies to steer clear of all financial break
 CTS and maintain the credit of the
 county.
 t MT. Clark is also interested Tn recent 1 important discovery in Grant county New Mexico, where the ledge carries large quantity of native silver m th'
 shape of nuggets, like punches Of grapes
 This is the third discovery Of that kInC
 in New Mexico, and it promises to be i yeritable bonanza.

An IniimelT Death.

Elsewhere in this issue will be found the announcement of the death of Eide ha $. Beach, tine wife of Captain G. A. Goodale, Twenty-third Infantry, U. $. A., at Fort Bayard, New Mexico.
 The Captain was at one time stationed at Prescott in this Territory, and Mrs Goodale is doubtless remembered by many who then made her acquaintance, She was an attractive and accomplished lady, a social favorite and the centre of an interesting home. The loss of those to whom she was near and dear is ire parable.
 She was a native of Michigan and spent her girlhood days at Flint, in that State, where she had many friends and to where the announcement of her un- timely death will occasion many an heartache.
 Mrs. Goodale was a daughter of Mrs J. B. White, of Oakland, California, and a cousin of J. 4. Whitmore of this city.

GRAHAM COUNTY.

Hon. Geo. II. Stevens, one of Arizonas s old pioneers, and who has the honor or fathering the bill which created this new county, has been in town for several days past seeing his old friends, lwho, he says, appear to be growing scarcer with each visit. He states that the new county is in very fiourishing condition, being entirely out of debt after having paid up all the warrants that were issued to cover the expenses of the county dur ing the first year of its existence. The crops are now all gathered, and the sea- son Is considered one of the most satls- factory that section of the Territory has had for many years. The farmers are now preparing to put in a new crop, and the prospect IS very good of planting the largest wheat and barley crop ever yet attempted.
 The Indian troubles had very severe and bad effect on the progress of the new county, and set 1t back considerably, but now that they have been effectually quieted, the people hope to see 1t ad- vance to leading position among the counties of Arizona Though a large portion of the county Is now under cul- tivation, there are still left immense tracts that have never been settled, and that await but the strong, energetic arm of the white man to blossom and bear rich fruit.
 The schools of the county are all Ill very satisfactory condition, and are un- usually well attended.
 The new county jail at Stafford has just been completed, and will bear satisfac- tory comparison with those in any of the older counties It cost fifteen hundred dollars, all of winch has been paid.
 The county offices have been supplied with new books and furniture to the amount of two thousand dollars since the county was first created, all of which has also been fully paid for.
 The stock ranges are all said to be en- toying a season Of unusual good weather. Among them are to be found some of the very best that Arizona can boast of.

 GLOBE, December 2i, 1881.
 EDITOR CITIzES:-On my return home few days since, after an absence for a month in California, I find Globe as prosperous as-ever. Everybody appears cheerful and happy, and all are making arrangements for n Merry Christmas. There will be Christmas tree at the NJ. F. Church tonight, loaded with presents for the little ones. And the Masonic Order will give their grand annual ball on the evening of the 27th inst, when the grandees will come in for their share of enjoyment
 The mining outlook for the future continues to improve, and developments are going ahead in all directions, with results entirely satisfactory. There is not an idle man who desires work to be found here; in fact, miners are in de- mand. was asked by three different parties yesterday if l could get them some hands, and by looking around find that there are none to be had.
 The Mack Morris mine continues to improve, am informed by the able and congenial Superintendent, Major NJ. A. Baldwin, who also assures me that they will ship this month about double the amount of bullion of any month pre- vious, which is a preliminary step to- wards dividends, as predicted in q let let to the CITIZEN some time ago. And they will not be Irish when they are de- clared, either.
 The Centennial mine will resume work again soon, with NIT. Monroe as Superin- tendent, a mining man of large experi- ence, who appears intelligent and ener- getic. And 1 think that the Centennial company has made wise selection, and their business will certainly prosper un- der Mir. Monroe's management.

From Sonora.

Hon. F. A. Tritle of Virginia City, New, has just returned from trip through northern Sonora. He reports great many people from the United States and England as visiting that part of Mexico, with a view of investing in lands and mines. He thinks the Sonora and San Miguel valleys will attract settlers Tn large numbers when tie Guaymas and Tucson railroad is completed. Almost anything can be successfully cultivated in these valleys. MT. Tritle found the mining prospects excellent. The grad ing has been resumed or the railroad, and completion assured in less than a a year. Mir. Tritle feels assured that the trade of northern Sonora can be con- trolled by Tucson.
