A paragraph in the Advertiser last evening
said the Springvale mills had stopped work on
account Of failure in New York and that
many persons were thrown out of employment
We are reliably informed that the facts are not
as stated above. 1t was determined to stop
the mills, as customary at this season, for a
week or two, and this determination was made
before the failure referred to took place. and it
is expected the mills will be in operation again
in few days, although the New York failure
may ultimately compel reorganization of the
property at Springvale.

Two days were consumed In reach the custom house, and shortly after crossing the border the trall of the Apaches was taken up and Is being fol- lowed at the present time. The trail was found in the San Jose mountains and vas taken up and followed into the ChirlcahuR mountains, and from thence to the Sulphur Spring valley. where the command now Is. It k estimated that there are fully twenty Apaches in the band, and from the route taken there is no doubt but that what they are head ing for the reservation, but the rangers hope to overtake them before the gaOl is reached. The rangers, although they have not been able to come up with the Apaches, have undoubtedly done ser vice, having travelled over 2OU miles since leaving hear. The Indians set fire to the grass m tine Swisshelms last evening, but Mir. Alexander was unable to learn the extent of the damage. The command now numbers fifty sev- eral having been taken sick and returned home. one, Wash Underwood, of Charls- ton. discharged, and several more being compelled to give up the chase on &C., count of the poor staying qualities of thelr animals.

Hungarian Music All the Rage.

Hungarian music Is the fashion of the day m New York. says A cores spOudent of the PhIladelphia Record. In the first place, Mir korbay Is a Hungarian, and he Is the most popular musician known to society. Then there Is Mile. Ravasz, a Hungarian, and pupil vt Liszt, who u' 'ays the peculiar music of her country as only Hungarian can. and then there are the Hungarian gypsies, with their rude. wild music. Of course Remenetz and Gerstsr are Hungarians, and they did a great deal to turn musical atten- ton towards Hungary last year. The Hungarian Eypsies have been in great demand at fashionable entertainments this year; but the people who have en- gagged their services have made the silly mistake Of having them play for dancing. As their whole charm lies in the untran- slatable tempo in which they play their own gypsy music, 1t IS utterly absurd tO ask them to play Strauss and Offenbach. They do not play any dance music well but their own, and that can only be danced by Hungarian gypsies As there are no Hungarian gypsies in New York society they had better be engaged to play for dinner parties.

"A Wu,,,usox Land Commission

J. A WILLIAMSON, Land Commission CT of the Atlantic and Pacific Railroad Company, whose headquarters will here after be located at Albuquerque, has been interviewed by the Journal man, from which We cOndense the following, which relates to lands in Arizona: MT. Williamson states that at last he has got the lands in Arizona ID a condition to be put upon the market. Almost every township of it has been surveyed, and upon the plats has been noted the pur- pose for which T. Is best adapted, whether for agriculture, grazing, mining or tim5ered land. The company is not and never will be prepared to say that they will take one, two, or ten dollars sn acre for its land, Es no uniform prIce can be put upon 1t. The entire land in pos session of the road Is ranged in five classes, aud the land will be sold &C., coiding to the price of the grade ID which 1t belongs. The classes deter mineI upon are these: Coal, timber, agrculture, grazing land with water, and grazing land without water. In all classes except agriculture, no sale for a less body than half township will be made. The agricultural lands will be sold in small 4uanhties, to suit even the poorest man, ten or twenty acres will be sold If desired. When springs or water holes are known to exist, grazing lands will only be sold In large quantities, for the reason that the remaining adjacent land would be- come comparatively worthless, as 1t could not be sold to others for grazing purposes, unless water could be found upon the land. Applications may be made to the land department at Albu- querqUe, describing the class of land de- sired, when the land sought will be ln- spected by an agent of the company, and c. price Set upon 1t according to its locati and value, which formula will be O. served ID the sale of all lands be- longing to the company. The company own about l5,OO0,OOO acres of land be- tween the Rio Grande and Colorado river nearly all of which Is in Arlzons and all of 1t, except what has already been ta- Ken ul, IS offered for sale. The com pletiou of the Atlantic and Pacific Rail road through to connect with the South ern Pacific at the Needles, and the of fering of this large area of land for sale will greatly increase the population of AlzOua, and furnish thousands of homes for settlers, miners and lumber men as well as greatly increase the real wealth of the Territory.

CEN. DIAz. e1-Presideut of Mexico, Is row m this country and IS being escort ed about by a body guard. says the New York Herald, of notorious American railroad speculators, and the Herald don't seem Co like the looks of things, and says: "Our chief regret arises chieAy from tine possible effect of the surroundings upon the fate of the pend ing Mexican reciprocity treaty, and further adds:
 "We deem this treaty capable of i'm p-ovemeut. We think that the interval before lt will come uR m the Senate for ratification or reJeetIQu next December ouEat Go bs devoted tO improving lt and Co greatly eularging the field ot our dI- uIomatIe negotiations with Mexico, so as to cover many other matters. But ai the same time the main provisions oi tHe peudi4g treaty are good 30 far as they gu, and We shall be very sorry fl lt is summarIly rejected by the Senate. A popular conviction here that It IS an ln- strument conceived, framed and urged priuclpally iu the interest Oi the rall- road sueculst0rs who are striving to nm pr-ss General Diaz with the persuasion that they are the controllers Of the United States might be a very potent indueuce Co induce its rejection. The postpouemeut of its consideration by the Senate from March to December was m some degree owing to popular suspicion that such Is the case.
 A total failure of this treaty for the reason We nave indicated, or for any other reason, would be, We believe, a great m siortuna Co both couutries-and even more of a misfortune to Mexico than Co tine uItei States. notWith- standing the recent declarations oi Minister Romero to che contrary. We can get along comfortable without an increase of our Mexican market, if need be. although We do not at all underrate its dislrabiity. But every fresh batch of statistics If the commerce of Mexico shows that she cannot get along com fortabIv if the American market should be closed to her or restricted toy the m p0sit'n of customs duties correspond ing with those she now lays on oul products. The report of the Mexican Secretary of the Treasury for the las quarter of his fiscal year, ending or March 1, 1883, shows that the value O exports from Mexico to the Unlte' States for that quarter )excludlng thu precious metalsl was larger than tha of all her exports to every other cOuntr. in the world.
