Coa freizhts to Chicago opened at 60 cents, but a number of shippers are holding out for better rates, anticipat- ing a reduction on the arrival of the Chicago fleet.

THE question of locating the Tucson public school building has been finally settled by the Buard of Education. they having purchased block l0l, which Is situated on the east side of Military plaza. While there are a number of citizens who think the location too far east and south, We believe a large ID jor- Ity of the citizen tax pay CTS Of Tucson Vlll endorse the action of the Board. The location may not be in the center of population now, but the tune Nill soon come when it will be. The CITIZEN has always advocated location similar to the one selected, ard we are glad that the Board took our view of the case and acted for the best interest nf the present and future of the own. The location is a slightly one, anu the New building will present a fine aI- pearance, and will be out of the way uf the hustle and noise that would have rxisted had the nuil iuz been put on Congress street. The present ground 1n Congress street can now be sold fu' -uough to pay for the uew site and leav, g balance of eight or ten thousand dol lars to apply on the construction of the new building. While II is impossible to please everyone in selecting a site, those sh) live m the northwestern portion of the town should bear in mind that they -ir -,..,l V -h..'.-. ti.e Gonrt Hoase- and -siii have the City Hall, which, to B certain extent, should be considered as an even- ing up of accounts.

 The Stonevall continues to make reg ular shipments of ore to the mill aggre- gating ab' mt 9 tons daily.
 The Randolph is working six men.and is taxing out more ore than pays ex- penses. There is a large amount Of low grade ore in the Randolph. Excep1 n- ally rich ore IS being taken from the Nizina-l2j tons monthly being sent co the Boston mill for reduction.
 And now comes the Vizina with a rich strike, made m the lower levels some days since. The rock IS manganese. and full of horn silver. Assays average 500 per ton. The extent of the ore body IS not yet develO ed. but the large amount nf black wealth iying m the ore house indicates the strike a big one. The character of rock is one not huh erto found in the ViHua R publican.

SILVER CITY, N. M., April 26, 1883
 EDITOR CIIzEN:-I am requested by
 the relatives of the late Judge Fl. c.
 McComas and wife to write few words
 expressive of their gratitude for the
 generous sympathy extended to them on
 every hand at thls their time of bereave-
 ment. From as far as Dakota, Virginia and San Francisco have come letters | telling of deep sorrow foLthe dead and esteem for their memory. But especlal- ly from every part of New Mexico and Arizona, as well as from Chihuahua and sonora, come offers not only of condol- ence but of assistance. 'Can do any, thing to a1d m the rescue of little Charley" "Can 1 help the little girls who are left?" "I am travelling con- stantly through New Mexico and Arizo- na: Please send me few of the pictures 0f little Charley McCOmss, l may be able to help find him." Letters come every day with ms ssages like these. And the substantial efforts made for the discovery aud rescus of
 
 gritten and spoken are heartfelt. In an Y Sr one thousand dollars was raised in ,,nR Jv City as a reward. tae amount q tAS easily bemads five D. md Iha .eeS ASstarted by the CITIZEE Is but an- i 'tnsr exhibition ol the same generous feeling. To you and thousands of kind trends through out these Territories 1t may De some reward tO know that every kiad act and word of friendly sympathy Is understood and appreciated. Nothing asses unnoticed, nothing VIII be for gotten so long as the memory of the dead remains in the hearts of sheir friends.
 In reply tO many inquiries, will say the children who are left are financially well provided for. Two are young men, grown. The httle girls, Ada and Mary. will have their home with their mothers relatives at Fort Scott, Kansas.
 No effort nor expense will be spared in the search for the lost one, little Charley. Doubts have been ex- pressed as to his beng alive, but the facts show a strong ground for the belief that he k with the Indians cap tive. For several days after the discOv- cry of the bodies 0t his parents a scout ing party searched the ground for miles around the fatal spot, but no trace-nOt even a foOtpriDt-cOuld be found. He was a fairly good rider, fer such small boy, and he was a very hardy and robust little fellow, SO be could have been taken away on horseback. Gen. For sythe stated to me that he has taken a great interest in the search for him, but That no footprints of him were found at the stopping places of the Indians along tuei- traIl but on the other hand, Wm- Wilson, one of our citizens who acted as guide of Captain ThOmpson's command, told me that the ground had been -c-apsd in places with the apparent in- tentIon of Obhtersting footprints. A came from one of Captain Blacks command also to the effect that hi. footprints were seen on the Indian trail south of the Southern Pacific rail road. Win these facts ID view, I trust the kind efforts of friends will not be relaxed until his fate is known. Com addressed to me will meet with prompt attention. It will be taken ls a favor if this letter IS copied by the neIghborIng journals. Yours truly,

ANYTHING that depends on electricity for US motive power or action is con stsutly at the mercy of new discoveries.

 It IS to be hoped that the rumor IS without substantial foundation. Not that we have any prejudice against the gentleman named, for we have no Knowledge of him nor his abilities.

WHEN people com nit wrong. there is no telling to what extent its bad effects may extend. Toe people of NIr- giuia did not dream that by repudiating a portion of their bonded debt, that it would be the means of destroying a loved work they had in view, yet such seems to have been the case. IL ha- developed that the funds of the Lee Monumsut Association, which had for Its object the erection of au equestrian statute at Richmond to the memory of General Robert t. Lee were invested in Virginia bonds, which by repudiation have been rendered worthless, and if such an statute IS ever built the patriotic sons of the old dominion will have to raise new fund, which will probably be done. General Jubal Early has published a card in which he offers to become one Of fifty men to contribute Sl,OOO each for the purpose, and csll- npon the patriotic admirers of Vir ginia's favorite War General to come forward and assist in the work.

We were much pleased during re- cent visit to Tucson after an absence of nearly two years, at the marked i'm pavement of the cIty.
 The old Mexican quarter, with its one story mud-roOf adobe houses, sur rounded by dusky children and in numerable dogs, with sn occasional view of a darkeyed senorlta, remains m about the same condition It was ID fifty years ago.

At one time after the South ern Pacific Railroad was pushed east ward, tImid ones predicted decay, and if was said that every rail lad toward the rising sun was 8 nail in Iucson's coffin. commercially speaking But the prophets of evil have disappeared and Tucson still fiourishes. As ArIzonans we should uphold Territorial lnstitu- tions and encourage local industries. Tucson as the chief town should be visited, and business and social relations established there.
 At present many projects intended to be of benefit to the place are in con- temptation. Narrow gauge railroads are to be built north, south and south west, some of which will surely prove of great benefit. Reduction works for the handling of custom ores are also to be erected. Tucson since the advent of the railroad has had a healthy growth, and there is every prospect of its doubling it's population ia the next de- cade.-Chfton Clarion.

ARIZONA AS A sAE1TARIUM.

It IS believed by many that Arizona IS | the most bealthful climate for c nsump- tlves in the world. No natives of the Territory, so far as known, have died of consumption, while many who came to
 Arizona ''to die" as they express 1t, have been restored to health or have
 been so benefited that they live here in
 comparative health. While we do not
 claim that Arizona's dry atmosphere
 will cure tubercular consumption, we do
 know 1t has greatly benefited many peo-
 people who have come here before they
 were too far gone. No climate will cure consumption it is incurable. But some climates, where the atmosphere is dry,
 aids these who are affiict with the dis ease to build up theIr system and gain strength and flesh which, while it does not cure the patient, gives strength and vitality to fight the disease; or, m other words, furnishes material for the disease to prey upon, which material must be consumed before the life of the patient is in danger. T. ose who are af- fecied with lung diseases should be out of doors all the time, or as near all the time as possible. They should at once accustom themselves to sleep out of doors in Arizona, for 1t can be done
 without risk, ss the climate is so dry that dew never falls except a very few nights during rainy season. Eat good, wholesome food, and by moderate exer- else, which may be increased gradually, the appetite of the patient will improve and flesh and muscle will begin to form. Then increase the exercise, con- tInue to sleep out of do rs, and partake of the most nourishing and wholesome food tO be had, and ten to one before the end of the first year the patient will feel like a new greatly improv- cd in strength and health. In time consumptives so far recover, that they care but httle for the hacking cough that remains, and many live to enjoy the comforts Of life, and die of old age
 Consumptlves in an advanced stage cannot be much benefited by any climate, but on the contrary they often shorten their lives by going to places which they imagine are good for them, but which often hastens their death. Hundreds and We might say thousands of invalids who have been induced to seek the coast counties of California in search of health, have been cut down by the harsh piercing cold wind. Those who have lung affections should by all means avoid the coast winds of California, if they desire to live. There are places in the interior of California where the climate may prove beneficial to con- sunptiyes, but SO far as our observation xtends-aud We have spent some time In nearly every western Territory, Ari- | z)I a IS by far best climate for all kinds pf pulmonary diseases to be found ID [ h, United States. Those who have a-tbma or bronchial troubles are greatly benefited or permanently cured by the dry invIgOratlug atmosphere of Arizona, l and consumptIves may expect relief
