LET Us TAKE A TURN AT SOME
THING ELSE


The Huntington Advertiser covers the
ground and turns up the roots of the
matter quite fully in commenting upon
the character and purpose Of the agita-
ton that has been kept up for some
time past in this State, upon the sub
jet of incorporating a prohibitory
amendment in the Constitution.
After pointing to the indisputable fact
that the existing Constitution already
confers plenary powers upon the Legis-
lature to enact prohihitory laws when
ever it shall see fit, or whenever public
sentiment shall so demand, it proceeds
to disclose the Improbable nature oft
agitation and the animus that inspires
it, as follows:
During the past four years the friends OF
prohibition have been given a clear field and
the diverse other interests OF our people
have been subordinated to this peculiar one.
A large number of good citizens who are
temperate men, but who are aware that
there are other concerns of equal dignity
with the temperance question have been
quiescent thus far in the hope that
this question would have an end within
a reasonable time, so as to permit other
affairs to come up for considera-
ton. These now feel that the time has
come when great questions like the adjust
ment of our share Of the Virginia deb and
those relating TO State development should
no longer be subordinated to this
interminable and impracticable one
of temperance as it is related to a
proposed constitutional amendment. They
are sincere in the belief that the present
constitutional provision, as quoted above,
is ample for all practical purposes
They believe that the opposition to the
Democratic party are using this temper
ance question merely for the purpose Of
distracting the public in the hope that by
some hook or crook it will result in re.
storing them to power in the State. They
are confirmed in this view by the COM
ments OF Republican newspapers and Re-
publican public speakers and emissaries.
1t is time that the friends OF Democratic
government shall dare assert their indie
pendence of those who would
put the party in false at
titude. II we have aspirant7 Tor public
office who are so besotted with indulgence
in intoxicating liquors as to require a
temperance plank in our platforms to
make their election possible we must make
up our minds to let them retire from pub
lie life. The Democratic party is tenn
perance and temperate party, but it is not
its duty to falsify itself and go back upon
its traditions in order that any faction, or
man, or men may be gloritied at its ex-
pense and at tie expense of its self.re-
spect."

Reduction Works.

The Board of Supervisors passed at their session Monday evening, the fol- lowing order:
 Ordered, That bonds of the county of Pima in the sum of Sl5,OOO, bearing in- terest at the rate of seven per cent. per annum, interest payable semi-annualiy oL the first day of June and December, at the office of the county treasurer, in the city of Tucson, bearing date June l, l 1888, to be redeemed on or before thirty years from date, and made payable to
 the Tucson Smelting and Milling com l pany of Arizona or its cOnsignees, said
 bonds to be delivered only to said com
 pany upon their conforming and com plying with the following conditions, tO-wIt: As soon as sand bonds are print ed, signed and sealed, they are to be deposited with the cuunty treasurer of Pima county and by him delivered to said Tucson Smelling and Milling com pany whenever the agt Ut, selected by
 the board of supervisors for that pur- pose, shall certify in writing that sad company actually erected up'n the grounds now selected by them near
 Tucson, smelling works ready for work and operation, provided that If sald smelling works are n' { erected and com pleted within nine months from this date, then the said bonds are to be delIv- cred tO the board of supervisors and toy them destroyed, and the grant tO said company to be void and of no effect
 And to give bonds to the county Of Pima m the sum of SJOO, conditioned that fl the smelling works are not erect ed within saId nine months that the said company will repay the said county of Pima, all the expenses incurred ID the issuance ot sad bonds, the bonds tO be approved by the board after submission to the district attorney as to form. And provided further, that said bonds shall bear interest only from the date of deliv- cry sad company.
 There seems to have arisen bOubt ID the minds of some whether such bonds will be legal, being used for the benefit of private persons. It IS claimed that while a railroad Is public enterprise reduction works are not Techuicaiiy, in law, such may be the case, in reason and common sense therels no d ference, except a railroad Can be compelled to carry passenger and reduction works cannot be compelled tO smelt ores unless 
 think 1t will be stretching the legal blanket too much to approve the action of the Board.
 The CITIZEN does not say that right or wrong these bonds should be issued. but when there IS a doubt, We believe Tue son should have the benefit of tine doubt The city stands to day just on that spot where 1t IS necessary for everybody to put his shoulder to the wheel and all push together and We are glad tO see such a unanimity of feeling in thIs direction. Besides the many business blocks, rich and handsome, and dwelling houses now going forward, will have the S40OO0 school house, the Port LObos railroad, the AriZona Marrow Gauge railroad and last but not least the re- duction works. Now if portion of the balance of the S2OD,OO0 was given to the Calabasas railroad, provided, said rail road company would go ahead and build said road all would be well.
 Prospects are bright for Tucson.

The Fruitful SOnOita.

MT. Chas. B. Servente, for the past several years engaged in merchandising and cattle raising on the Sonoita bot. toms, in Sonora, arrived in, town a few days since for the purpose of laying in an additional supply of goods, to meet the wants of growing trade and a steadily increasing community. The stock and mining interests of that sec ton of the country now in a thrifty and vigorOus condition, gives promise of large expansion Tn the near future. Although beyond the border, and dis tant from Tucson about fifty leagues ifs trade, by the continuation of the Gum sigit road, k well worth securing. Some of the old mines with which that couu- try abounds are being opened Up and new ones discovered.
 One old mine, Fl Rosario, abandoned for the past eighteen years, was relocat- ed by NIT. Servente ID January last, and sold by him one month later to r. r. Bowling for ten thousand dollars. The property ls said tO be of far more value than the price received for 1t, but Mir. Servsnte with a commendable spirit Of enterprise preferred to accept the figure named, see the mine developed and the couu.ry thereabcuts opened up and made prosperous, rather than produce stagnation by holding for high prices, which in the end are seldom or never pald. The ledge of the Fl Rosario Is probably less than three feet in width. hut IL IS marvelously rich in silver ard can readily be traced for fnlly two miles. MT. Bowling proposes 10 begin work on 1t at once.
 A few weeks since the government surveyors passed up the Sonoita exam ming the old line monuments with a view to the re-rnnning of the line which 1t is hoped will take place at an early day.
 The water furnished by the Sonoite is sufficient for the many cattle that are multiplying and grazing on the adja- cent hills, and which in due course of tune cannot fail to make their owners wealthy men.

The Rednetion Of Copper Ores.
Mining and seientihe Pre-s.


 In the reduction of copper ores various systems have from time to time been adopted, the meth d being sub iected iu part to the character Of ore worked and general existing conditions. For many years the business of smeit- ing copper ores was carried Ju almost exclusively at Swansea, South Wales, near the mines of Cornwall and Devon, ores being shipped to that point from all parts Of tue world. Until the past decade, but little was known of the great resources uf the Pacific States and Territories m copper. Some develop ments had been made in various parts of the country Of most promising nature, and much money spent in reluc- ton works, based upon former methods of working, but tbe attempt to in- trOduce the system and practice of the Old World into the new, in this. as ID many other things, was attended with disastrous failure. The new cOudi IOus were not suited to tine old order of things. In this emergency Ms~sr= Rankin, Braytou S Co.,, of the Pacific Iron Works, iu this city, a firm Tepres- enting the most advanced ideas Cf modern practice in everything relating t) the mechanical appliances for treat ing ores, conceived tine idea of applying the principle of the water jacSet fur mace tn the reduction Ot ores, art instituted series of ezDerlments, with a view of determining what form of jacket was best adapted tO the purpose, as well as the mechanical construction necessary to withstand the severe ordeal that such work would be subjected c.. After some years of persistent and cIst y experiments, a result was reached which has made a revelation in the method of copper reduction and which has created an industry that has been a source Of vast increase m the wealth Oi the cOun- try.
 It IS no eXaggerarlOn 10 say that the extraordinary development of the cop per interest in all our mining States and Territories owes is origin and present progress to the invention and general introduction of the Pacific Copper Shelter This furnace has revolution iZed all former methods, and made prac- ticable the treatment Df all classes of copper ores by a single process-so sim pie m operation and so economical in results that there IS scarcely a copper mine anywhere located favurahIy as Co fuel and transportation, that cannot now he proftabIy worked.
 Every successful copper enterprise in the country, without an exception, we believe, IS being operated by thls SIS tenn of reduction. The manufactures are now receiving orders for their smel- ters from nearly every mining country in the world, and the system seems like ly to soon become universal. The same system of reduction, It my also be said. has been applied, with equal success, to all grades and classes of galena ore.

A Romance 1.-the Sea.

Capt. Dow, of the wrecked English | steamship AthOs, which arrived in this ! port last night m charge of the Merritt l Wrecking company of New York, relates
 an interesting story. The Athos, which Is an iron ship, valued at Sl500OO, sailed from New York tO Kingston, Jamaica,
 in September last. Her cargo was Vor.h f2JO.OJO, and was of a miscellaneoH.
 character. She had reached the Bah '.
 ma banks in safety, but ran ashore o'N
 the treat InRgua island, one of the B
 hamas. The steamer was exposed for sil months to terrific nOrthwesterly gales
 She was blown high upon the beach and
 the crew escaped with difficulty tO the
 land. Here they found a veritable ne-
 gro paradise. The island is literally over run with negroes. Only few white
 people live on the island, and they are
 but the agents Of English merch ants.
 The exports from this island aggregate
 four yessel-lOads of salt year, and the
 imports consist of the four cargoes of merchandise brought in exchange for the salt. The ships cargo of silks, fine linen, bruadcloths, brandy, champagnes, and provisions had been thrown 1ver-
 board when the vessel ran ashore, and washed along the beach for miles. It was gathered up by the natives, and 8 grand dress carnival and high debauch was inauguratei. In d few days the island was a scene of wild dissipation. The vice admiralty court at Nassau aI- lowed the natives S20O0O salvage For their assistance in saving the vessel and portion of the cargo. AS soon as the news of the disaster tO the Athos reached the owners ot the ship, the Merritt com pHny's vessel was sent from New York to save her If possible. The wrecking company, by means of cement sunk through the water into tn ships hold, succeeded ID stopping the leaks, so that with the assistance of five steam pumps she was kept ahOat until she could be brought to thIs city. This achievement is res arded as one of the most difficult known to marine wrecking -Philadel- phla Record.

Charley McCnmas.

It seems from news received through two sources that little Charley McCo- mas Is alive and held in captivity by the Indians. Col. J. P. Martin, A. A. Gen eral at Whipple, on Wednesday received from Fort Thomas the following tele- gram:
 Two Chirqcahua Apaches, who were engaged in the recent raid in Southern Arizona, have surrendered at Fort Thomas. They say they are directed to offer surrender of all Chiricahuas. They say also, that Judge McComls' son is in Chato's camp, in the Sierra Madre mountains"
 4 lsttar has also been received in this city dated at San Carlos. May 3, as fol- lows:
 Two Chiricahuas. direct from old Mexico, arrived yesterday. l had long talk " tn Dutch" who is one of them, this morning. He tells me that Charley \ u mas Is still alive and well, and K
 rf B,ait7, one of the chiefs. They saw the boy eleven days ago and say he is male pet amongst the Indi- ans and goes by ms right name amongst them that k, Charley" I think that If the troops dou't surprise the camp he will eventually be brought in. I also think from what can find out through them. they are going to try to make pence and use Charley McComas as a means to be allowed to come in. Loco's band has. split loose from Juh's and they want to come in, but nh says he will never surrender"
