ton capacity sufficient, 800 men could be employed stoping ore on the 700 foot level alone. Two years and half was consumed in partially stoping the $50 foot level. The reserves in the mine are simply enormous. The reduction works now In use, twenty stamp mill with eight Frue concentrators, IS wholly mad equate to such property, and while We do not speak by the card, we have little doubt that one of the early moves will be the erection of 200 stamp mill on the Gi1a river to be connected with the mine by rail. Tho water at tho mill is hardly sufficient for the present works. The daily shipment of ore from the mine to the mill is 65 tons
 Savants are still at work trying to de- wise some plan for working the base ores which this mine produces. The ore is native silver and sulphide mixed with galena, zinc and every known base metal. The gangue is porphyry, heavy quartz and black spar. In some places in the mine the quartz and spar occur entirely separate and distinct from the porphyry, and in other places it is mixed. The ore occurring in porphyry concentrates read fly with satisfactory results, as high as 95 per cent. of the value being saved. The quartz and spar have nearly as great spe- cifc gravity as the metal it contains so that concentration is not the process for this character of ore, and it is sorted and left at the mine to be utilized as future wisdom and experience may direct. Be- sides this character of ore they have a fine, large and rich body of free milling worked when pans and settlers are added to tho works,
 There is no danger of Arizona losing its reputation as silver producer while the Silver King holds out and there is noth- ing to warrrrt the impression that it will cease producing for years to come. It has already produced more silver than the entire Territory of New Mexico and has virgin ground enough to more than double its output.

Our Flocks and Herds.

The stock interests of Arizona will yet rival in importance her mining industry. Already from end to end of the Territory, wherever water can be had, stock ranges are being established, and from Utah to Sonora thousand hills and dales are cov- cred with bands of fat cattle. There is no surer road to wealth in Arizona Terri tory than the stock business With eli mate unsurpassed in the Union, and a ready and lucrative market always at hand, the stock grower in this southern country finds his lines cast ill pleasant and profitable places. With quiet home in some beautiful valley, he can take the world easy as he reclines beneath the shade of his vine and hgtre and watches the steady increase of his property. No deep snows necessitate the housing of his bands in winter, nor do the destructive ''northers" of the Texas plains disturb the serenity of his mind or affect his bank account at any season. The life of an Arizona stock raiser is an enviable one. Indian raids are over, and most of the festive cowboys are now engaged in chas- ing shadowy steers on the other side of the Sty1. The only thing that prevents Arizona from becoming one of the leading stock countries of the West is the limited water supply. Wherever living water can be had, there are bands of sleek cat
 tie; but there are vast stretches of plain and valley yet unoccupied. With arts
 sian water, those deserted wastes would soon be filled with thousands of cattle
 and millions of dollars added to tn, wealth of our Territory ry.-Independeat

Love.

I am satisfied that there is no world of eternal pain. If there is world of joy, so much the better I have never put out the faintest star of human hope that ever trembled in the night of life. There was a time when was not; after that I was; now am. And it is just as probable that shall live again as it was that I could have lived before I did Let it go An! but what will be life. The world will be here. The page of history will be open. The walls of the world will be adorned with art, the inches with sculp- ture; music will be here and all there is of life and joy. And there will be homes here, and there will be a common fear Love will be here, and love is the only bow on Efe's dark cloud. Love was the first dream of immortality Love is the morning and evening star It shine. upon the child; it sheds it's radiance upon the peaceful tomb. Love is the mother of beauty-the mother of melody, the music Is its voice. Love is the builder o every hope, the kindler of every fire upor every hearth. Love is the enchanter the magician who changes worthless things to joy, and makes right royal king and queens of common clay. Love is thu perfume of that wondrous flower, tn, heart Without that divine passion without that divine sway, we are les than beasts, and with it earth is hsavsl and we are gods.-IngersoH.

Death ofJoseph CoIIingwood.

Departed this life at Florence, A. T., December 10th, at a. m., Joseph Col lingwood, age 46 years, native of Flor ence, Erie county, Ohio. Mr. Ceiling wood was we'll and favorsbly known throughout Southwestern Arizona, where he was engaged in mercantile pursuits for the last thirteen years. He com menced business here under the firm name of E. N. Fish & Co.,, which was the first store opened in Florence, and by his enterprise and iberality contributed largely to the prosperity of the Gila val ley. Mir Collingwood endeared himself to the hearts of the people by his liberal and generous disposition. His hand and purse were ever open to the poor and needy and no one gave more iberally for any charitable or educational purpose than he. A little over month ago he was confined to his bed, but within the last ten days provius to his death typhoid pneumonia set in and his sickness was dangerous. All that medical skill, ol kind and willing hands could do to min. ister to his wants was done, but Provi
 dence decided otherwise. He leaves ar estimable wife and three little childrer who have the sympathy of every one 1T this community. E.

WE REMEMBER that the Tucson Citizen, soon after receiving its new power press from Chicago, year since, came out strongly in favor of reducing the freight rates of the Southern Pacific The char ges on the press over the 220 miles of road between Deming and Tucson were more than double what they were over the l 500 miles of road between Chicago and Deming. Our contemporary did not seem to think, at that time, that forced reduction of freight rates would prevent the building of other railroads in this Territory But then its editor had no political ambition, nor had the solid argu- ments of the monopoly sack been brought to bear upon him. This may account for the difference between his opinion then l and now,

He also recom- mends the consolidation of the postal and telegraph service and the establishment ot postal savings banks for the accommo- dation of of the working classes. In sup porting this recommendation, he says: "The American people are apt to earn but not wise to save, and tho easy intro duction to the art of saving is to provide an easy and safe means of saving. The post office is near to every citizen; the savings bank must always be remote from most The post office need not be a sub stitute for the savings bank, nor its rival, but its feeder; place where small de. posits with slow accretions may slowly grow into larger ones, then to be trans ferred to savings banks on longer terms and with larger earnings"

Or THE many sad events crowded into the brief history of Florence, none have occasioned more sincere and widespread sorrow than did the untimely death of Joseph Collingwood. Although resi- dent and business man of Florence from the time the first stone in her commercial foundation was laid, his acquaintance ex- tended to all parts of tine Territory and everywhere he had friends, won and held steadfast by his personal worth and com inanding individuality, who will regret, no less sincerely than we, his demise
 His judgement was always tempered by iustic and he never became oblivious of that sublimest of the divine commands,
 ''do unto others as you would have them do unto you" He was public-spirited and enterprising, and to him as much, if not more than to any other man, is due the settlement of this section and the development of its varied resources. The distinguishing traits of his character were generosity and kindness. Derserv- charity was never denied assistance by him or a worthy person refused favor, and it may have been as truthfully said of him as it was beautifully said of Inger- soil by his brother, "should each one for whom he did loving service lay but one flower upon his bier, he would sleep be- meath wilderness of blossoms tonight" " In brief, he was manly man within the best meaning of the term, and we shall not be permitted to look upon his like soon again. The ENTERPRISE tenders a real sympathy to the sorrowing family.
