Postal Irregularities.

The grossest carelessness exists in the postal service of this Territory, else the agents of the government are conspic- .uously incompetent in some quarterF, notably the postal ear service. Not a day passes but this office is in receipt Of complaints from subscribers along the line of the railroad, that they are ire guently deprived of the CITIZEN for sey- eral days at time and then received the accumulation of mail matter. The fault lies beyond the jurisdiction of the Tucson office, and it is a duty the De pertinent owes to its own efficiency, to ferret out the cause Of the trouble and remedy i5.

One day last week a couple of young ladies went to the Perry street depot to see a friend who was coming from the west on her way to an eastern city. A young gentleman met them at the depot and the three boarded the Pullman car together and found the friend. Then it was agreed that the Davenport trio should accompany the fair western as far as Moline. It was a beautiful, bright morning-and one of the young ladies not being SO intimate with the passenger as was herfriend, thought to leave the two m communion, and SO she said she would like to stand on the rear platform while the train was crossing the river. So the young gent handed her out to the plat form aforesaid-and right there while the coach was above the middle of the mighty Mississippi, he asked her if she would be his.She assented.He kissed her, and litter in the doorway alarmed them. And in that door stood the young ladies who had been left for communion of hearts in the car. There were blushes and confusion on the part of the lovers but the mOmenio IS crisis had been passed and the two spectators became as happy over 1t as the lovers themselyes.-lD Dav- enpOrt Democrat

Prince Rupert Mine.


 The Prince Rupert Mine in the Wnghtson Distinct owned by Messrs. Hughes and Lyons is said to be quite a valuable property. The prospecting shaf, is down about eighty feet on a vein ten feet wide, portion of which will average three hundred dollars per ton. Twenty ive tons of choice ore are now on the dump and will, on the com pletion of the railroad Co Casa Blanca Canyon. be shipped to Denver for reduc- tion [, IS the intention of the owners to sink another shaft abou, one hundred yards westward of the one now down. and s;ope out the intervening ore. The high grade will be shipped and the inferior piled for reduction la;er on- The mne IS easy of access and near Co the line of the new road. Wood is abundant and water sufficient for all necessary purposes. On the whole the mine ls a very valuable one and vii eventually prove to be such 10 its fortunate owners.
 MR. w. B. BROWN, who lef, Los An gels a few days ago with over 1000 head of sheep rom Santa Ana, bound for Texas. reached the depot on Monday, about fourteen hours late. The sheep were at once turned out and fed, but being miserably poor they suffered severely from the prevailing rain storm, and a number of them died. They had commenced to eat the wool of one another. and one was almost naked and had the appearance of being skinned. Mir. Brown sai1 that the country about Santa Ana was almost destitute of vegetation and that sheep were dying in great numbers. \ Mir. Irwin lost about one third of a band of IS.oOO, but sheep owners diSliked the idea Of sacrificing them for a fraction of their value and were holdinson in hopes of getting ram, a llttle of Vhich had fallen, but not enough to be of any decided benefit 10 the country, as much of the moisture was absorbed by the dry north winds which of late had been blowing.
