Arizona weekly enterprise., 1882-04-08

Tn active negotiation and correspondence with Eastern parties with view to start up the Tiger mine. This is as it should be. This is too valuable property to go begging. Its past mismagement gay it a terrible black eye ill the East, but the effect of that will not affect the mine, as it is well known to be first-class big pro- perty. Bill Lent and others know it, Dentordt.
 Mir. John T. Bates, who realized ten thousand dollars recently from the sale of the Silver Queen mine, in the San Pe- dro district, is investing his money to good advantage, namely, in building him comfortable home in the Gila valley above Riverside. Beside erecting cosy dwelling house, he is planting fruit trees of every variety, taking out irrigating ditches and making himself model farm.
 Mir. Geo. F. Cook, of San Pedro dis trict, was here this week attending the regular quarterly meeting of the board of supervisors, of which he is an efficient member. He says the mining prospect of the San Pedro still wears a bright look, and new finds of good promise are re- ported at regular intervals from different parts of the district. Work on the Queen and other mines is progressing satisfacto- rily and yielding good fruit. The star of San Pedro IS ascending.
 Mr. P. R. Brady, the county treasurer of Pinal, arrived in town this morning from his home in Florence Mir. Brady can certainly be termed one of the pio- neers of Arizona, as he came to this coun- try in 1854. He is one of the most pleas ant and honorable of gentlemen, and we would be pleased to have him repeat his visits oftener.-Tucson Citizen
 Hew times change and newspapers, too! Years ago, when we were editing MT. Brady for delegate to congress, the Citizen didn't speak in this way But then, ''times have changed, and men with them. Courier
 Jacob Schneider came down from the Saddle Mountain district this week, and brought some splendid ore with him. It was from the Saddle Mountain King and Hayes, two mines that give as good prom ise as any in the county. They show strong Hedges and the ore is good grade. The district is only kept back by the fact that it is little out of the way at present. But there is no uncertainty about its fu- ture, and upon this question all mining men who have examined it agree. It has the kind of merit that will force recogni- tion in time, and the owners of the claims here mentioned have only to wait awhile to insure themselves a fortune.
 The Silver King hotel, under Mir Bailey's management, opened Monday
 with good run of custom and spread
 of edibles that surprised its patrons Speaking of this hotel we desire to say not in a spirit of fattery but candidly that one can hardly recognize the place
 so complete is the transformation it ha. undergone. There is an air of neatness cleanliness and home comfort about thC 5 different departments not observable il 3 many Arizona hotels There is not al
 old or dingy article to be seen anywhert about the place; everything wears the Jus ter of newness. The fare is frst-class including every variety of provender it i possible to procure in our limited marke
 and prepared in excellent style. This ho
 tel is credit to the county.
