OUR MINES.
A REFRESHMENTS MINE ON
 STOCKTON HILL.

One of the best developed claims on Stock l the Indian Boy mine. This claim was lo-
 cated as far back as the year 1865. when the district was known as the Sacramento district, and is now owned by Philip Haoh, 1 David Southwick and J. K. Mackenzie The ledge runs north and south and is snear- ly perpendicular and averages about three feet in. width. The pay streak averages about IS inches, sometimes extending across the full width of the vein and then again pinching down to inches, but never less than that. The general character of the ore is heavy galena, carrying from 70 to 50 per cent. lead, with considerable zine-blend and iron.
 As to the average value of the ore from this claim, good idea can be formed from what has been already milled. A lot of eighteen tons, shipped to San Francisco, went one hundred and thirty-one dollars per ton in gold and silver, carrying at the same time 4 per cent. lead. Another lot of five tons worked at the Mineral Park mill went one hundred and eighty-six dollars per ton, no allowance being made for the lead. Another lot of twenty-four tons, smelted at the Cerbat furnace, went one hundred and twenty-nine dollars per ton. From this it will be seen that the ore from this mine carries a much higher percentage of gold and silver than is usually found in veins of gGlena ore of this size. There is now on &bo oA E4 one hundred tons of good looking ore which will go, from numerous samples which have been made from it, about seventy to eighty dollars per ton without sorting, the bulk of it being ore that would not pay to mill or ship ID former years but has now become quite valuable The mine has been opened by three shafts, the main one being fifty two feet deep, another one thirty feet and another " enty-fve feet. From the main shaft at the fifty foot level drift has been started to connect two of the shafts to- gether and has been run in a distances of fifty feet out of the seventy-hYe required to make the connection. Altogether some two hundred tons of ore have been taken out of this mine, which is splendid show ing for the amount of work done on the mine and shows exclusively t3a this VII become good paving mine whenever it's owners see fit to open it up in good shape, in fact this mine has paid, and paid we'll. for all the work ever dons on it. We un- derstand it is the intention of the owners this coming spring to ship the ore to Denver in one hundred ton lots and that ar- engagements are now being made with Cham b Tain & Co. to that effect.

CORRESPONDENCE.
HAckBEnRr, A. T. February 8, 1883.

HAcKBERRY, A. T. February 8, 1883.
 EDITOR MoHAvE COUNTY MNER:-For ways that are peculiar and tricks that are dubious the tenderfoot prospectors are pe- culiar, an average one can tell more about the dips, spurs and angles, width and extent of lodges. quantity and quality of ores and rock, cash value of the same. and, above all, the amount of development necessary in order to stock a $40 bonanza for half a million. Our old tried and true prospectors who have grown up with the country, who have learned to live on beans straight and deer sign for months, who have followed the burro through the terra incognita of our In- dian country who have fought and bled and maybe died that the future generations may reap the reward of lives passed or spent in a struggle to force nature to yield up it's hidden treasures, must, iH the estimation of tenderfOOt heroes of one thousand free hash dumps, take back seat and applaud the prosperity of their mines. Of the tenderfoot pioneer corps Of mineral wealth seekers, we are willing to give all their just due for intelligence and energy, but in all decency's sake we hope that the new men coming among us will not set us up as fools even if we have been in Arizona long enough to tell the difference between jack rabbit and iackass.
 Local news in our town is hardly worthy of mention. Several people are on the sick list and one or two seriously i'll. We have put up hospital for future emergencies and all are standing in with each other for 'pro bono publico" and self protection. If the authorities will do us the justice of their counsel and aid We may avoid an epi- ,deinic of azy disease.
 Our Indian neighbors have gone to the mountains and our streets arc now seldom decorated with the varigated hues of the dusky nlaidens' scanty habiliments and the railroaders delicate ear now seldom tingles to the musical laugh of the Wall2pai squaw.
 There is some talk here of forming stock company who intend claiming square mile of land near o1 perhaps adioin- ing the prospective now county seat or noar Beal Springs or Kingman. and starting Hazard development cooperative enterprise The projectors are solid and rank from Kaiser Conrads through intermediate grades of generals down to the lesser oper- atives whose rank is yet undetermined. We have figured the profits on some four mil lion Hazards and feel satisned t-ere is money in the scheme and besides the com pany will sell town lots, build brush houses and of course improve a great deal by dis. turbjng the rocks in the search after our stock. U is proposed to have propagat- ing house directly at the siding and from there a subtelran7an passage through King man direct to 8 nonstroIs corral where our Hazards are to be fed, clothed and subse- quently skinned, each skin now is worth from nil to a su,n will ret dare to mention. All applications for stock in this enterprise can be made to myself, who will remain and grew up with the country.

 A new time table went into effect on the Atlantic & Pacific railroad on February 3d, and better time is made by passenger trains The passenger train leaves Albuquerque in the evening instead of in the morning.
 Articles of incorporation have been filed with the County Clerk of San Francisco by the San Francisco and Colorado River Rail road Company for tho purpose of building railroad from the mouth of the estuary of San Antonio to point at or near where the thirty-ffth parallel intersects the Colorado river. This enterprise is, in fact, nothing more than a legitimate extension of the South Pacific Coast system now in oper- ation. Tine capital stock of said company is $2o,OO0.O 900, divided into 100000 shares of $100 each. The articles set forth that at least 10 per cent. of the capital stock sub- scribed, to wit, $1OO,OOO, has been pald into the treasury of the corporation. A. E. Davis has been elected Treasurer. The Directors are A. E. Davis, Ayscough Groves, Charles Iverson, George c. Prentis and R. NJ. Garrett. These names mean success for the enterprise. San Jose Mer- oury.
 Grant & MoDonald have secured ten mile contract on the other side of the river and are advertising for 250 extra men at $2.50 per day.
 We presume that the grade of the A. & P. road near the Needles will be changed, as the place where Grant $ McDonald are already working on their ten mile contract across the river is at a point about half way between Fort Mohave and the Needles, so we are informed by Capt. Layre.

MINING ITEMS.

WOrEng on the crescent mlne 1n the Pea cock Mountains.
 We understand that Dr. Brown intends to put force of men at work on the Ithaca mine very shortly.
 Col. Thornlow has about twenty tons of very high grade ore from his mine, the Crescent, already hauled to the Blackberry mill. He has one of the best paying mines in the county.
 Wm. Rumpf is in town from the Cres- cent mine. where he has been working stead fly for the past five months. He reports the mine looking splendidly. We hear that Sol Rowe is going to open up the Golden Rule mine in good shape.
 L. c. Welbourn is taking out some rock from the Setting Sun that will assay away up in the hundreds.
 Johnny. Kennedy and P. Hach are still sinking on the foot wall of the Black War rlor at Stockton and don't propose to stop till they get down one hundred feet.
 Seneca Shoulders. who used to own the Bmerican Flag mine at Wallapai Mountain. is in town.
 Johnson, Burke and Snyder have taken out about three tons of good looking ore from rhe c. O. D. mine the past week.
 We hear that John Barry is going into mining on large scale this summer and that he will probably erect concentrating works of his own.
 A. s. Bush and Steve Smith have just finished a contract on the Juno at Chloride for Welton & Grounds. They say that the mine is looking better than ever and that there is any amount of good paying ore in sight.
 We clip the following from the Albu- querque Democrat:
 w. E. TalbOtt has purchased corner lot at Kingman, A. T., for $200. Mr. Shen- field who represents the town site company left for the front this morning, and will re- turn ill about two weeks, when he will quarter at the Ballingall prepared to make the proper conveyanoeE.

 Albuquerque, Jan. 31, 1883.
 LOCAL COAL BED.-C. L. Hubbs reports that vein of soft coal has boen found with in thirty miles of Albuquerque, which is eleven feet in thickness. This is undoubted- ly the largest coal deposit yet discovered in the western country. It's value to the com mercial interests of Albuquerque will be in caiculable. At present the nearest coal beds are at Gallup on the A. & P. road, while a considerable quantity of the article is brought down from Blossburg for consump- tion here. The exact location Of this new discovery is not made known just yet, bat near it IS very rich veIn of copper ore.
 A Yuma dispatch says: "A noted Cochise county horse thief, sentenced to ten years, escaped from the penitentiery Friday night. No one seems able to give any information as to how the escape was effected He was not locked in the cell with the others, and the affair has a very suspicious look. The Superintendent was confined to his bed, suffering from his last drunken spree.- From the manner in which affairs are con ducted at the prison, it IS feared there may at any time be a successful general out break"

Death 0fDr. Mudd.

Dr. Samuel A. Mudd, who served a
term at the Dry Tortugas for harbor-
ing and assisting John Wilkes Booth,
the assassin of President Lincoln. to
escape died on Wednesday, at his
residence near Bryantown, Charles
county, Md. DR.. Mudd came of an
old Maryland family of prominence
and influence in Southern Maryland.
After the assassination Booth and
Harold rode to his home and he
dressed Booths injuries. He found
that Booths right leg was fractured,
the bone being broken clear through
lust above the ankle. The leg was
much swollen. and DIR. Mudd insisted
on Booth remaining at his house all
day and into the next night. He gave
him the necessary surgical attention,
but the pursuit of the assassin being
fierce at midnight Booth was guided
from the house to the Potomac, when
he rowed over in a boat to the place
where he met his death and Harold
was captured.
DIR. Mudd was at once arrested,
tried, convicted and sentenced by the
court to be confined for life at hard
labor, and President johnson ordered
him and Others to be sent to Albany
penitentiary. He was subsequently,
sent to the Dry Tortugas, where, dur
ing yellow fever epidemic, he rem
dered such valuable services that,
aftera few years confinement, he was
pardoned by President johnson.
About year or two ago he brought
claim for those services before Con-
gress ; but it was not allowed.

Celestial Distances,
New York Observer.

NcW i UTk OuSeTNeT.
In recent lecture in this city on
the subject of Celestial Measure
ments," Prof. G. A. Young, of
Princeton College, explained the
methods by which the distances of
the heavenly bodies from the earth
are determined, and made the follow
ing statements
The earth is about 5000 miles In
diameter. If you could make a
straight railroad around the equator
it would take just about twenty-six
days TO make the circuit of it, at for
ty-miles an hour without any change
of stations. No practical means of
conveyance will take you around it
in less than three months. Then the
moon, our next neighbor, is about
thirty times as far away as the earth's
dlameter--about 24O, 1000 miles. That
is not so very inconceiyable. Then,
when we come to the sun. we find its
distance is about four hundred times
as great as that of the moon-about
90, 900, 900 miles.
Those figures mean nothing until
you take an illustration. Take a
railroad from the earth to the sun,
with train running forty miles an
hour without stops, and it would
take about 265 years and little over
to make the journey. So that, if the
