Meerschanm.

CASA GRASDE, Sept. II, 'S2.
 EDITOR CTTIzKS:-0ur town is in a turmoil over the question of where "meerschaum" IS found, and what 1t Is. Some say it is sea foam, others that 1t IS a mineral found in Russia. Please tell us, through the columns of your paper, where 1t Is found and what 1t is?
 SUBSCRIBER.
 Meerschaum. as defined by the "Peo- ple's Cyclopedia," IS a mineral existing in many parts of the world. In Europe 1t IS found chiefly at Hrubschitz in Morsvia, and at Sebastopol and kaffa m the Crimea; and m Asia 1t occurs abundantly just below the soil ID the alluvial beds at Kittisch and Bursa in Nstolis; and in the rocks of Eski-Hissar an the same district, 1t is mined so eIten- slvely as to give employment to nearly a thousand men. Meerschaum, from it's having been found on the sea shore in some places, in peculiarly rounded, snow-white Jumps, vas ignorantly lm- sglned to be petrified froth of the sea, which Is the meaning of its German name. It's composition is silica eos; m8gnesls 26.l; water l20 Almost all the meerschaum found is made into to- bscco pipes, in which manufacture the Germans have been for long time pre- eminent

He Gathers Them In.

Poundmaster Conley has got a new wrinkle on the dogs His expensive out fit of wagons and rounders-up met with such decided opposition from the owners of msngy purps that for his own preservation he was forced to re- sort to strategy, which IS not only less expensive, but fully as effective as his former procedure. Dogs as well as men have 8 weakness for the opposite sex, little fact which poundmaster COnley Is most judiciously making use of In his corral he keeps on chain several cannes of the feminine persuasion, and as they, in the eyes of all dogs, are good looking and attractive, they naturally have many visitors all of winch are scOoped in and in due time go the way of all flesh. As no dog IS ever allowed to call twice, visitors to the corral become scarce. Further strategy IS necessary, and the feminine genders are led about town and shown to the best advantage As admirers are found in every street, by-wsv and alley, there IS soon quite a following, 80 that by the time they again reach home half the dogs in town are at their heels. The bolder ones enter the fatal walls and are gathered in. The more timid call around that nlght, and as they fail to call again 1t IS but fair to suppose that they take the nearest cut and climb the golden stairs.

Board of Supervisors.

The Board of Supervisors at their meeting Monday night appointed Ssbino Otero registering officer at Tubsc, and L. W. Wakefield registering officer at Pelton.
 A communication was received from Fl. K. White, Justice of the Peace at Guusight mines, asking that the county provide a suitable place for the tempor- ary keeping of prisoners p ecedIng their removal here The Board not bav- iug the necessary funds for such apprO- p-iation directed be Sheriff to forward four pairs of shackles for use at that place.
 A. W. PattisDa reported that John Hanlou had completed the court house in arcordance with the terms of his con- tract.
 The Board then accepted the build ing and unanimously passed the fol- lowing resolution: Resolved, That the thanks of the B. ard of Supervisors for themselyss as officers, and personally in common with the citizens Of Pima coun- tv, are rendered to John Hanlon, Esq. for the taithfll and diligent manner ID which he has erected the new court house, having fully carried out and com- plied with the terms and provisions Of his contract, the building being the best recommendation of bis efficiency as a contractor, his fidelity as to details and bis through cJmpasency as mechanic"
 Upon examination of accounts 1t was found that balance of 21,Oj6 WAS yet due the contractor, and a warrant for that amount was ordered drawn on | building fund for same. An order WAS also passed relieving N-. Haulon and his bonds pen from all further responsibility in the matter. The Board then adjourned to Satur l day, Sept. 23d.

To private families 1t Is sup piled at haf cent advance over the saloon rates They the company pur- chas ed the ice works of the old Pioneer Co. and by running them day and night turn out two tons every twenty-four hours. As the trade demands much more, the ice purchased in San Francisco. winch market must continue to supply all needed tlll the new eight ton machine arrIves and Is put III place. The ice trade of Tucson alone, Is estimated at nr about $l00,000 annually, most of which is now exoeuded iR San Francisco aud ID R R. freights.

IL + the intention ot the purchasers to build a railroad to con meet their works with some one Of the continental lines. We are under the impression that Ed. Polk and Charles NJ. Shannon We're copsrtners with Metcalfe and Porter ID the Metcalfe group. We are also informed that sale Is virtually closed for another valu- able copper property at Clifton belons ing 10 Charles NJ Shannon and Bella NJ. Hughes. The purchase money, as stated to us, Is S1,000,O0h. All of these mines were located by Robert B. Met calfe in 1872.
 It k a source of qualification to us to know that Messrs. Metcalfe. Shannon, Polk, and the Lesinsky brothers are so q, mfortably provided for. They are worthy men and merit this rich return for thelr many privstions during the time they oraved the danger of that ex- posed frontier settlement, which their energy and forecast created.
 The price paid for the property, al though apparautly large, is greatly be- low it's valne.
 The above reported sale is not creds tied here, inasmuch as the LesInsky brothers are too shrewd business met to part with a property for such a sum however large 1t may seem, when they have unlimited confidence in it's future md are realizing on its product ovei S40,0O0 net per month.
