Returned From the Gold Fields.

CONTENTION, 4 l. June l1th, 1883.
 EDITORS CTTIzRS:-MIss Nellie Cash man and party returned from the gold fields in Lower California by this morn lug's train, and appeared to be anything but favorably impressed with the result of their explorations. In an int rview with Miss Cashman at the depot here, this morning, she expressed the opinion that the richness of the placers near Santa Gertrudes, was a delusion; that owing to the scarcity of water, she dld not think the diggings could ever be worked to any advantage. But to quote her own wordsA q "I think that I have returned with the major portion of the fortunes to be obtained in Lower Cali fornia, which consists of c8cti, rocks and Spanish bayOnet," will probably give 8 better idea of the so-called gold fields. Miss Nellie certainly deserves great credit for the manner in which her ex- petition was conducted, and IL tends to show what an energetic and plucky wo- man can do. She assumed personal charge of her own party, donninR the conventional masculine mining garb for the occasion, black trousers, blue shirt and high-top American boots. This party was among the first to reach the interior and to penetrate tine heart of the mining district; they were compelled for three weeks to endure many hard ships and privations, being at one time fourteen hours without water and the entire party almost perished from thirst. Especial mention Is due Pete Gill and his boys for their assistance, under these circumstances.
 Miss Cashman's party was conducted on true military plan, each man being assigned to respective position and duties, the entire command sailing under the stars and stripes aud bearing the sob-iquet of "Sixty-sixth New York, in honor of that deserving regiment. The bottom appears to have fallen com pletely out of the placer digglugs, and every vessel or schooner from Trinidad Bay brings full complement of return ing miners thoroughly dishesrtened by their experienee.
 The actual extent of the district Is limited to a very small area, and the whole has been worked upon for past years by the natives, and until little or nothing can be gotten out, semi-oc- casiolal pocket overlooked, causing the late excitement. DIXMoNT.

Accus- [ toned to life and labor iu the forert from ssry manhood, he wss a true Knight Of the Ak. Many tree had fallen before his ringing strokes. and fleets of rafts had borne away [ market the sawed products. Coll Is a character. and if O.. car Wilde Is right in saying that all movement in unhindered labor are graceful. our friend Will liam, stripped for his work, and attacking a tree as Richard I. assaulted the heavy door of Front de BPuf's Castle, must have presented an ad- mirsble picture.
 One day. however-but let hIm tell the story himself as he told it to me.

Prescott Miner.


 We were the recipient to-day of call from Hon. 4. W. DeLong, the newly commissioned Receiver of the Prescott Land Office. Mir. Belong halls from Inliana, and is an old printer and news paper proprietor, who recently went out of the Journalistic career to take the place now be fills.
 Captain Frank Ingalls, bade his many warm friends adieu this morning as he took stage for PheniX, en route to Yuma, where he is to be installed as prison superintendent. He IS a man of ability and sterling integrity and bis departure from Prescott deprives us of one of our best citizens, and the Prescott Rifles of an efficient captain. J. l.. Long also departed for the same place, having been appointed by the prison commis- sioners keeper of the institution. Mir. Long has had considerable experience ID turning keys upon criminals.
 On Thursday evening. June 7tb, Gavin 6 Co. had sunk fifteen feet on theIr great bonanza, and at that depth the ledge showed better than on the surface some thirty inches of ore showing itself near the hanging wall. Of this ten inches is fully Sl5,0O0 ore, while the re- maining twenty inches Is of Sl 800 value. Al the present writing S50,O00 have been taken from the mine, with every indica- tion nf permanency. The walls are now solid and smooth. dipping at Hn angle of 45 degrees. Many people thought that the owners were of because of having refused Sl5,0O0 for this property. when there was but n hole of five feet sunk. 1t now transpires however, that they were wise in refusing the offer, for, let the mine turn as 1t may, they have out S50,O00 and sl00,0O0 in sight hence they can't lose, but have fair prospect of getting millions. Since the settle ment of Arizona commenced no such find or strike has been made ss that of Gavin X Go. The ore IS msrvelously rich and the vein unusually large for such high grade vein matter. The eI- tensions are being worked, showing the same decomposed material Rs is found in the original discovery, and the prob abilities are that good ore will soon come in

The San Diego Union says that the newly discovered placer mines in Lower California are within easy reach from San Diego, via San Quentin. The port of San Quentin is scarcely more than l5O miles from this place, and at that point the peninsula IS only sixty miles across. The new diggings are thirty miles in. land, that is to say, they are about mid way between San Quentin and the shore of the Gulf of California. Two of our ship owners are arranging to carry pas sengers as fast as they arrive here to San Quentin for S25 a passage. It ought not to cost much to get from that place to the diggiugs. Miners can come from San Francisco for Sl0; S25 more will take them to San Quentin, and SlO more should certainly land them at the dig0ings. To go the other way, that is by Tucson and Guaymss, it costs SI20, and from thence to the diggincs to be added. We have information that im- pcrtant developments in placer mining are taking place near San Quentin. and within two miles of the landing. It is sad that nuggets Of considerable sIze are being found.

Relocation of Abandoned Claims.

When a mining claim is abandon ed subsequent to publication and prior to entry and payment, case would be presented in which the executive de- partment would be compelled to take jurisdiction, because the law under that state of facts allows the abandoned land to be again located by any quail fed person in the same manner as if no location of the same had been made, and makes no provision for the determins- ton elsewhere of any question or con- troversy arising out of this class of con fiicting claims.

Breaking a Corner.

In the early days of Michigan, when one dealer was the source of supply for a large territory, a capitalist from the East suddenly bought uu all the tobacco and whisky to be got hold of Tn the state. There was no railroad communi- cation; Il was winter, and there was no navigation, and everything promised a big profit on the speculation. Pnces be- gan 10 creep up and settlers to inquire and protest, and the capitalist was rub bing his hands end holding on, when something happened. He was on his way 10 church one Sunday when he was seized by band of tough-looking piO- neers and carried to the river, where a hole had already been cut in the ice. What Is the meaning oI this?' he final ly asked. Iimsans old prices foivhisky and terbackerl" replied the spokesman.
 "How?'
 They proceeded to enlighten him. Two of ihe band gave him a duck into the water, and he was plunged in and hauled out three times before he got his breath and said:
 ''Gentlemen, tobacco has taken great dropl'
 "Give him some moreT said the lead CT, and into the freezing cold water be went again. When they hauled him out blue with cold and teeth chattering, he observed:
 And whisky is tea cents gallon less than the old price"

The GiIa Bend Canal Company.

On Saturday the 2d inst, Governor Powers, who has been engaged for sev- eral months past executing contracts for work on the canal property of the Gila Bend Canal company discharged 50 of his men and twenty teams, retaining on- ly his own teams and two scrapers to continue the work of dressing up the ca nal, and putting on the finishing touches. The work has been done in a a very sat istactory manner, and Gov. Powers says the canal will hold the waters of the Gila at their worst. The cuts in places exceed ten feet in depth, and in width over 30 feet
 The Governor left this morning for Cleveland to be absent three weeks. I'm mediately upon his return he will re- sume work with larger force and put in the gate head, fumes, sand gates, etc, and perfect the work to turn in water m ample time for fall crops.

TT WAS A SUICIDE.
John Cook Killed Himself With a
 Rifle Shot.
cided While Laboring Under Mental liberation.

The Verdict of the COroner's That He Sui
 cided While Laboring Under
 Mental liberation.
 The coroner's jury on the death of John Cook reassembled at the morgue Saturday and resumed the taking of testimony. No new points were ad- duced other than those published in the CITIZEN yesterday.
 The jury visited the room where Cook was found dead, and discovered the bull let hole in the adobe wall, it having passed through Cooks body and the head-board of the bed. From the range of the bullet and the position of Cook the jury came to the conclusion that he died by hls own hands, or rather feet in this instance. It appears that he sat partially on the edge of the bed, and sit ting up placed the rifle to his breast, and putting his toe to the hammer, pressed 1t for the fatal shot. He was found with the gun on his left side and his right foot on the ground.
 All suspicious of foul play Tn the minds of the jury were dismissed, and they ren- dered verdict that "he committed sul- eide while laboring under temporary mental aberration.' The body will be inferred this evening. There Is no evI- dence to corroborate St. Johns state ment that Cook was Mason.

The two San Carlos Indians iD town ire named respectively Jim and Mucha cho. Jim says he is Tonto and that Muchacho is a White Mountain Indian, and also the son Of a chief. They are here as witnesses in a whisky case. The practice of law greatly interests them, and they hang around the court house all the time, and watch each trial with considerable interest for untutored sons of the forest. The mOccasin boots are the only article of original Indian dress they wear, the remainder being the shirt and pants of the white man. The boots consist of a stout, thick sole of some heavy kind of leather, with lighter top and leggins sowed in, and are sensI- bly worn without heels.

THE DROWNING
or Manuel Salazar Yesterday After.
 noon Accidental.
He Goes Into A Ditch Above the AIisson MIll Beyond His Depth and is Drowned-The Body
 Recovered.

Yesterday afternoon, just before the CITIZEN went to press, word was brought to the cOroner's office that a Mexican boy had been drowned in ditch in the field above the Mission uill. AS pub. ilshed yesterday in the CITIZEN. A CITIZEN reporter repaired i'm medlately to the scene, and was the first person to arrive there after the accident. Coroner Smith had been working all day at the hospital, and on being notified came, iustafter the CITIZEN reporter. The place was in a field about squarter of a mile above the mill. The ditch was about twenty feet wide. The hole where the boy was drowned was about fifteen feet deep and nearly one hundred feet long, making a very desirable swimming pond. The boys who were present at the drowning said the deceased's name was Manuel Salazar, aged l6 years. 4 large crowd soon gathered, and several young men began diving for the body, and tried to hitch on a rope, which finally broke. By this time the excitement be came intense, and Coroner Smith re- turned to town for a stronger rope. Some one offered reward of five dollars for the recovery of the body. This in- cited several, who made vigorous dives, but after remaining under water for 8 few seconds, would return to the sur face blowing like whale. The reward was then doubled, when a strong fellow, a regular athlete m form, denuded him. sell, took in a donble chest full If aIr. and giving a plunge was gone out of sight almost a minute, but he reappeared with the dead body in his arms. It was then taken to the mOrgue. It was then discovered that the right eye was bruised. 4 large number of people viewed the remains, which were finally taken charge of by some friends.
 An inquest was held at the morgue this morning at s o'clock, and the jury rendered a verdict that the deceased's s name was Manuel Salazar, that he was 2l years old, native of Magdalena, So- nora, and that he came to his death by accidental drowning. From the testi- mouy adduced it seems that Salhzar could not swim, and getting beyond hIs depths became frightened. One of his companions went to his assistance and came near drowning before being res cued. By this time Salazar had sunk the last time and the water was too deep for the boys to handle him.
 Salazar was a milk peddler. His par ents keep dairy at Fort Lowell. His funeral took place at 3 o'clock this after noon.

The New Gold Fields.

The following dispatch was sent from Tucson to the San Francisco Chronicle on the 9th: "Ihere Is considerable ex- citement here over the discovery of gold in Eagle creek. About forty prospectors have gone to the new field" We know Tucson is quite a city and that there are lots of people here. but the above state ment that forty prospectors have gone to the new gold fields IS somewhat over drawn. Half a dozen may have gone, but even that number IS doubtful.
