WEEKLY CITIZEN.
OUR MINES.

That the past season in Arizona has b.sa dull, IS a fact admitted by all. The
 ,susss for the dullness is a question up' 1, which the people differ, but 1t is gen.
 --slly attributed and the CITIZEN be- gsves. justly-to the Indian raids of last s7r;ar. which left that Indian question ,r an unsettled state. But We do not now purpose argling that question, but r;,I speak of the future outlook.
 Owing t0 the extraordinary expenditures r55,h have been made for the removal of -bs water Il thelower levels of the prin- ,rsl mines Of Tombstone district, tue 5.l af silver bullion has been mater ngy reduced, and as that Is the chief .ula- district of Arizona, it will ha- e --- -E-t Oi materially reducing .te annual product of the precious metals f7- the year. But as the pumps of the C5utentlon and Grand Central mines ~iII soon be in place, when he water r.II bs removed, and.a season of pros rs-iry will begin in Tombstone, such AS has not been there for more than two yslrs past.
 Tlec ,pper mlnes at Bisbee, are yield ---a large amount of ore. and the yield af ,aYue- bullion, will be increased iD another year. rather than diminished. Tls gold and silver mines in the Ora gs5as a-. also looking well, and con raue Co send out good reports.
 The great copper mines of Clifton. which hitherto. have been worked at a ii, .ivautage, will from this time on, owing % the completion of the narrow gauge railroad, be worked as they never l have been, and the yield of copper bull 1 li1a from the Longfellow and other mines iu .na, district promises to be l enormous
 Coming down to Pima, which l has hal more miscsriages m miues Hau almost any other section of | ihe Territory, and Ne find the | prospects for the future very promising. l T-s uer district of Qlijotoa, caznot help but prove paying camp. as the ore ls ID sight, and the quality is as good | ss can re found in the Territory. A number ot small mines are being opened ug which in The aggregate will yIeld a ls-ze amount of good ore.

 Globe, district Of acknowledged s5-tb, has been working against great disadvantages during the last two years, sz!ugt5 The long distance from railroad snuuu,c.ti0u, wLl, we trust, be pro v.lsI with a railroad ID the near future. s1su We may expe,t valuable returns of copper and silver bullion.
 Pia-i with the Silver King, the Ray e1ga- mines aui numerous other val 1sglr properties must necessarily great l7 7iac-sass her bullion output another 7s4, While Tavapai and Mohave coun- les are evea now on the highway to a successful and long run of mining pros p5-ity. Even Yuma, county that has 1sgsr made much pretensions, Is doing ulcl leye.opment of mine ID a quiet vay. some of which are making regular shipment, O.. bal.iou, with good pros pects f.- the future.
 B. taking the whole iald in, and calm y considering the question, without | scy desire To oyerestin ate, or talk for the sake o, talking, we are of the i'm 1 p1.-si1u that Arizona uiil materially l increase her yield Of bullion the coming ! year, which cannot help but benefit the | territory. and place us on better foot ns than We have enjoyed for years.
