An Arilnnan Ahrnad.

The New York Tribune of recent date says of Thomas Hughes, the mine-owner of Arizona, who was swindlei out of 5000 by three noted Bowery sharps, wlO pretended they had arranged a light between John l.. Sullivan and Mace for Sl0,OO0 side. Hughes betting SlO,UOJ on Sullivan and deposited half the money. There are several points which Thomas Hughes, of Arizona, re- calls as he thinks how easily he was swindled cut of S5,OO0 n BOwery grog- grey, but the most pertinent is to the effect that fool and his money are soon parted Probably Hughes will not bet 50 freely hereafter on prize fights be- tween Sullivan and Mace, or any other noted hrutes which have not been ad- vertised. Such things are not arranged to take place unheralded, or to be done in a corner. Generally they are an- nOunced for Madison Square Gardens weeks in advance. + may also be re- marked that 'It IS hn ill wind that blows nobody good Hughes lost his S5,00O but the rufhan and burglar Shang Ora per is in the clutches of the law once more, and the publlc IS to be cOngratu- lated.

He was with difficulty dissuaded from paying S40,000 for a Sixty-irst street tenement house. Hughes said he was a single man, fifty-seyen years old. He came to this country in lS47. He struck it first Tn California, but lost 1t all, and then made stake in Arizona ten or twelve years ago. When be came here he had just sold his property for half a million dollars.

Mining.

Less than year ago the Black Hills
 mining district, 20 mlles east of Prescott
 was comparatively speaking, a barren
 waste no signs of development or the sounds of the hammer and drill being seen or heard on either side. Since that time the United Verde Mining Company, having become interested ID properties and believing that the pre- clous metals existed there ID large quan- titles, at great expense put large number of men at work, built roads and commenced the erection of a large smell
 ter, and to-day the camp is oEe Of the most prosperous in Arizona. The smelter IS running night and day on ore from three mines, and the result has been so successful that the company will put up an additional smelter next spring which will necessitate the em- plo. ment of double the present force. At present there are eighty men at work in the mines and mill, whose wages vary from 8 to S4 per day. Close to this mine quite little settlement has sprung up, with the usual run of mercantile houses, saloons, etc, mail facilities es- tsblished, and everything else pertaining to a mining camp.-Prescott Courier.

4 Great Enterprise.

Attorney General Clark Churchill
 president of- the Arizona Canal com pany, returned yesterday from visit to 1 Pbenix, where he has been attending to | some business connected with that en-
 terprise. 4 representative of the Jour nal called upon Linn at his office this
 morning for the purpose of obtaining
 some information m regard to this en- terprise, which promises to be of great
 benefit to the territory. Although busy with work which had accumulated dur ing his absence, he very kindly answered the questions propOunded by the pencil pusher, and in the course of converse ton it was learned that a line of work men ten miles in length are at present engaged in the work of building the canal.
 The company expect to have the work completed and
 WATER TURNED INTO THE CANAL on the Ist of June, 1881. The canal will have a capacity of 5000 inches of water. IL starts from Salt river httle below the mouth of tine Verde, at the base of Mount Mcdowell, and the line extends along the outskirts of the valley, crossing the Black canyon stage road, d few miles from Desert station; thence across Cave creek and tine Agua Fria river to

Railroad Accidenf-

Emlgrant train No. 21, which left here yesterday noon, met with an accident last night at Benson, resulting in two brakemen being severely injured. The train consisted of twenty cars, including the passenger-sleeper, and had two locomotives. Beyond Benson about quarter of mile is the coal yard and section house. They stand on a hlIl. To ascend the hill the trains have beer accustomed to get up pretty good speed Last night some one left a switch open ID the coal yard, and as No. 2l ran up the bill she took the open switch. As usual with accidents, they are always over before the caution comes. The tram was instantly ditched. The section house, used to store tools, was con- pletely demolished. Two brakemen, named Daily and Walker, were badly hurt. Daily's left leg IS broken twice. Dr. Handy was sent mp there on spe- cal engine about half past one o'clock this morning, and returned at three o'clock with Daily, who vas placed in the hospital. No passengers were hurt. The damage to the train was not very great.

Disappointed Cireus.GOers.

According to all accounts, the circus at Benson yesterday was a stupendous humbug. Quite a number went from Tombstone. Charleston, Contention and the Mormon settlement on the San Pedro, the aggregate attendance being estimated at about 1000. The circus train arrived from Tucson early In the morning, the street parade, which IS said to be far the best part of the show, taking place in the forenoon. The per formance commenced at ] p. m. and lasted about two hours. The great majority of eIcursionlsts from Tomb stone, Contention and other points took the afternoon train, with the intention of witnessing the night performance, as the outfit had been advertised to exhibit both afternoon and night. When the train arrived the eXcursIonists had the melancholy satisfaction of seeing the circus employees busily engaged ID pulling up stakes" preparatory to embarking for the East. The manage ment had changed their plan and decided 10 give only one performance ID Benson, notwithstanding that they had, by false representations, induced hun dreds to come there from a distance to witness the evening exhibition. or course the smusemen--seekers were dis gusted. and Old John Robinson and hls entire outfit were denounced as perl patetic bilks. However, the disap- pointed excursIOnists can console them selves with the knowledge that the show is about the snidest combination travel fug.-Tombstoue EpitBph.

Deserted not Desert.

Wm. Jennings, of Florence, says the C0manches have slain MeIicans with in sight of the city of Durango. The whole of northern Mexico had been pros pscted by the old Spanish cOnquerors, who in his opinion were the grandest prospectors the world ever saw. They found and developed rich mines every where, and many millions of dollars worth of bullion went back to old Spain. The succeeding generations were either
 nassacred by Apaches and Comanches or harrassed till they were forced to desert their homes and move further south 10 places of safety. Northern Mexico IS not desert but a deserted country. MT Jennings has travelled the Sierra Madre from Mexico to Durango. He says the Apaches never were ID the heart of the Sierra, for the tribes of the Mexican Indians living there, and numbering 5000 people, never would permit. The Apsches chiefly ranged m inc eastern slopes. He thinks that Gen ergI Crook went only into the approaches of the SierrRs.

The Survey Inspected.

Messrs. Cox and RosfruZe returned last night from their tour of inspection of the recent survey of the county line between Pinal and Pima counties. They have handed their official report to the Clerk of the Board of Supervisors, which will te made known at the next monthly meeting. From what the CTTI- ZEN reporter could gather, it will be ad- verse. They started ID at the Silver Bell mountains and inspected the line through to its east end. h the "sup- posed bed of the Santa Cruz river" they dug a well fourteen feet deep and found good water Mir. ROskruge would have dug the well up and sold it for a post hole had there been any demand for the latter in the markets. In the Santa Catalinas they killed a deer. They were gone just seven days, and iourneyed between 60 and 70 miles on the lIne.

The railroad company is building an addition to the ice house of eighteen feet, preparatory to storing larger qusn- titles of the frigid for summer use. This Is all well enough, but if they will look a little more to the comfort of the trsv- cling people by at least giving them a place to sit down while waiting for a train at the station i've can't call It aide pot, the improvements will be better appreciated. The business office of the agent allows a coop of 2x4, ID which the customer mot the passenger) IS allowed to stand while be counts out his freight money or express charges, and he can quietly retire, while another comes for ward and repeats the dose.

"I have seen the time I could make 50 day putting up lightning rods. Drive up to a house and talk with man about rOddIng his barn, al SO much a foot, and he would figure that 1t would cost say, SIG, and he would sign Gn or der. Before the ink was cold, I would have seven or eight men, with ladders, all over that barn. They would go over it like cats on a back fence, and put points on every corner and conductors on every side. The farmer and his fam fly would look on in amazement, and be 30 pleased at the improved look of the old barn and they would not kick at the number of points. Then We would go of without collecting the bill, and ID about a week our collector would come along with 8 bill for S3SI47, and the farmers note all signed, and demand the pay. The farmer might faint away, but he had to pay it. Oh, of course, If be seemed hurt, We would throw of the odd cents, inst Co show a christian spirit. But the condemned newspapers have kept talking about highway robbery under the disguise of lightning rod men until # k as much as mans life is wOth to go through the country on a lightning rod wagon.

But I want to ssy to you ID confidence, that when heard those hounds and saw the men on horseback no streak of greased lightning ever made better time than I did with that lightning rod wagon.
