Mining Notes.
From the Stal

From the Star.
 Parties returning from the Santa Catalina mountains say there are a great many prospectors in the dis. trict and large amount of ore is being put OH the dumps. The Has, kell prospects, in the Old Hat dis. trict, have at least $4S0,OOO worth of ore in sight. The copper mines are developing most encouraglngly,
 It is said by those who ought to know that the Gunslght mines show more than S2,000,O0O of ore, and vet development is only in its infancy, We predict Meyers district will yet lead all other districts in the terri. tory.
 The Empire district is sending in good reports daily, both as to quan. tity and quality of ore.
 The Santa Ritas are being well prospected. Much assessment work is being done and a large quantity of good ore is being taken out.
 Orc Blanco and Arivaca districts are preparing for big boom. There have been more rich strikes in these districts duripg the last six months than anywhere else in the country.

EOOt-BaIl.

Among the amuscments indulged in by the boys of the public school is the game of football, and the leather-covered sphere they use for that recreation is of goodly bulk and rotund proportions. So long as this inyigorating pastime is confined to the pebbie.strewn precincts of thelr school campus" it is a sport productive of no worse results than stubbed toes and bruised shins, and if the youngsters can stand it,
 we can. But we deferentially submit that when the game is transferred to the busi Less centre of the city, although it may af ford fun for the boys, it is just little rough on those who have expensive plate. glass in front of their premises. Yesterday afternoon two or three thoughtless boys commenced kicking their ball on the cor. ner of Fremont and Fourth streets; soon others joined them, and older people took a hand-or foot--in the game. The fun soon beca 2e contagious, and throng of men and boys were soon giving the sphere lively racket up and down Fremont street. Sober citizens caught the hilarious infec- tion and gave the ball kick whenever it came their way A handsome Newfound. land dog joined the jewellers, and pursued the flying sphere with such zeal that it became difficult to give it an effectual kick without injurng the sportlve animal. The fun was thus kept up till darkness ob. scured the scene. One of the windows of the Nugget office was broken by the ball, but the gentleman whose foot impelled it came up at once and paid the damage. The EPITAPH office is also sufferer from the sam, cause to the extent of $650 plate glass pane in its front door; but up to the date of the present writing the kicker on that occasion has not marched up like little man and punged. As editors are not sufficiently opulent to buy plate glass windows more than once in lifetime, we shall be compelled to open a relief list this morning, to which those who think they had their moneys worth of fun yesterday are invited to walk up and subscribe.

David Davis on Insanity,

Referring to the Guiteau trial and the opinion of Dr. Andrew McFar- land of Illinois, that Guiteau is in- sane, Senator Davis relates the fol. lowing interesting facts, as showing the great liability to misjudge as to the mental conditions of men on trial for crime and alleged to be a,sane, and the reliability of the judgment of Dr. Mcfarland as an expert in such cases. The senator said while he DC. cupied the bench on the Blooming ton Qll.) circuit, man under indict- ment for murder was tried before him. In this case the killing was ad- mitted ard insanity was the plea of defense. Abraham Lincoln of Spring field and Leonard Swett of Bloom ington, two of the most distinguished lawyers of central Illinois, appeared in the case, Lincoln for the prosecu- tion and Swett for the defense. A large prepc cnderance of the testimony was decided and emphatic that the dCCuScu was luSdHe. EltcT HedTluS all the testimony in the case, listen- ing to the arguments of distinguished counsel, and observing closely the appearance and behavior of the pris- oner during the protrActed trial, he sa, S that he became convinced that the accused was sane, and that Dr. Mcfarland had erred in his diag- nosis of the case. The jury, however, returned the verdict of not guilty. Immediately after the acqulttal of the accused he was committed to an in- sane asylum, when the fact soon be- came unmistakably apparent that he was insane, and a short time after ward he died maniac. "The sequel showed" said Judge Davis, "that Dr. Mcfarland, in his testimony as to the insanity of the man, was cor rect and that l was wrong in my con
 clusion that he was sane"

Latest from the Jean net tte.

WASHINGTON, Jan. l2.-Secretary Frelinghysen has just received the following telegram from our charge d'affaires at St. Petersburg, respect. ing the fate of the Jeannette and heI crew:
 "Danenhauer and five of the crew with the whaleboat arrived at Sea. kutsk December 17th. They have been comfortably lodged and all their wants supplied. Melville and six men are expected soon. DeLong and crew of the first cutter had not been found, nor heard from up to the 16th. Boulanga reported the Jeannette caught in the pack ice October 1st, 1871, and drifted with the winds and currents till June last, and then abandoned. (Signed) HOFFMAN"

THE FLY MINES.
Another Rich Bonanza Developed to
 Enrich the County.

One of Tombstone's most persistent min CTS is Mir. c. $. Fly, the Fremont street photographer. He has for the last two years put large share of his earnings, which have been by no means inconsider able, into the various prospects around the country, and we are pleased to say he has at last struck it." Two years ago he was the locator of some mines in the Dragons to the southeast of the South Pass, and under the direction of San Francisco rock sharp @ sunk shaft to depth of 80 feet, with no good results. Of late, act ing upon his cwn judgment, he com. menced to sink upon the outcropping of iron and copper which were so prominent upon his claims, and at depth of feet has been rewarded with vein of red oxide and green carbonate, 3 feet wloe, that as says 45 per cent copper and $25 in silver. Three large samples of this ore were laid upon our table last evening, which for richness are comparable only to the best of Copper Queen: This outcropping can be traced through two of his locations, and from the extent of it, bids fair to make one ofthe richest mines in the county. We wish MT. Fly the realization of his most ardent expectations in the outcome of his mines.

Doubts About Water.

From Alta ArlZona.
 Captain Hardy, who has just re- turned from the railroad, after giving us an account of the wind crevice, says: It seems doubtful with miners and railroad men whether water can be found in the vicinity of Aubrey valley, or anywhere within hundred miles of it. It seems to be rainless dsitrict, or very nearly so. The rain fall does not exceed three inches. Yet good growth of grass is report ed every year, and the hills and mountains are covered with pine and cedar timber. He reports that one may travel one or two hundred miles without finding a spring of water The ranks of water are also very scarce and large part of the year without water. The railroad must have water, and will probably be forced to sink artesian wells, and if successful enefit northern Arizona beyond computation.

C0rOnrr-S InQuests,

Yesterday, at II a. m., Dr. Matthews em' paneled a jury to inquire into the. death of the man Gardiner, who was shot on the New Mexico X Arizona railroad Jan uary 2d, and who died in the county hos pital on the 11th. After an inspection of the body at the morgue, the case was ad' journed until to-day at II q. m. to take tes. timony.
 In the afternoon another jury was em- paneled to inquire into the cause of the death of Thomas Kearney and Simon Con stantine, two men who were brought into town from the railroad camp on the Bar. barcomari, who were blown up by blast. This case was also adjourned until today in order to obtain witnesses.

A Novel Libel Suit.
From the San Jose Mercury.

From the san Jose Mercury.
 One of the most novel libel suits on record is now pending before one of the courts of St. Louis, Missouri. It seems the Globe, Democrat of tn t city published an interview between a layman and a lawyer, in which the layman took special pains to say that the action of the lawyer in conncc- ton with some business which had been entrusted to him had been con- trolled and prompted by the devil. Tn lawyer brought suit against the pap.r for libel. So far the court seems to be against the plaintiff. A ruling was made at the very outset of the trial which compels the plain. tiff to prove the existence of the devil. The lawyer has found this a very big job. There are a great many pe''ple who are interested in the issue presented. Here is a chance for jury of twelve to inn mortalize themselves and command the lasting gratitude of, the world by knocking the devil out of the case.

TIE A. T. & s. F. R. R. are build ing q depot at Contention City l75 feet long. This would indicate that the road was not going to Tomb stone Daily Star.
 The Star is decidedly off its ca beza' when it thinks the Atchison, Topeka X Santa Fe road is not com ing to Tombstone. The main line from Deming is located directly through the northern limits of the city, and Mir. Earl, the locating en- gineer, assured us upon the comple tion of the survey, that it would be built ever this route, which will be as short as the Southern Pacific from Deming to Benson, and will make nearly an air line through to Gala. basas, where it turns south into So- nora. The company cannot afford to leave out of its connections the most important mining district Tn the territory, and town that is destined in the near future to have the largest population of any place Tn Arizona. lift don't come this year 1t will next, and we can await patiently the build- ing. As matter of fact, the sooner 1t comes the better it will suit our people and the larger will be the company's profits. These are mat. ters that the company will not be likely to overlook in their reach- ing out for the mastery of the trade of the Pacific coast.

 Hon. w. Benson of Tombstone, is registered at Porter's hotel. Judge Benson has been one of the most prominent citizens of Cochise county, having assisted in its organization and used his influence in the seleo- tion of county officers and contribut- ed as much as any other man to the preservation of law and order in Tombstone, The repeal of the bull. lion tax was largely owing to Judge Benson's hberality and influence. Many mining spectators who have built palaces on Mob Hill, in Sono- ma valley and on the banks of the Hudson, are indebted to Judge Ben son for the freedom from taxation which enables them to dispense ele- gant hospitality to the Arizona pros pectors visiting civilization.

 Sheriff Paul has got his work in again on cattle thieves. He made a capture yesterday at Casa Grande.
 Yesterday Judge J. s. Wood for warded to the SUI ervisors of Co., chisc county a warrant for $1,547, the full amount owing on account of the apportionment of the public school fund when that county was set apart and created.
 MT. Henry Campbell leaves for the East this morning on important min ing business. He has the largest mining property in Pima county, which he purposes placing in the East, and if not successful there he will go to England. MT. Campbell is good mining man, and handles none but the best of properties. The parties securing the property he is now handling will be fortunate.
 There are a large number of pris- oners of both the city and the county in jail. Would it not be we'll to put them to grading the streets !? The grade has already been established, and all that is required is the manual labor of pick and shovel. By util- izing prison labor every principal street in the city could be graded during tie year at moderate sum.
 The opening up of southwestern Pima county is going to develop the most wonderful mineral section yet discovered in Arizona. There are thousands of acres of rich placers. and all that is required to sift out its treasure is water, and it is believed by sinking water can be found ln abundance. There is pasture with. out limit, where herds of cattle and sheep will flourish. The wealth of Pima before the close of the present year will be at least partially real ized.
