Mr. |. G. Dyer.

After republ -shing Mr. \. C. Dy,r's communication given ia the CITIZEN oi May 1st, the San Francesca Daily Ex- change says of that gentleman:
 "Apropo- of Mr. Dyer's communica- ton, we wish to sGy that this gentle mans's high reputation for intelligence, a thorough practical knowledge of min ing and inning machinery, and a straightforward and honorable manner oi conducting all business transactions, is ample guaranty to the citizens ot Tue son that they have the right man in :he night place at last.
 Ills large experience in mining opera ti0ns and the treatment of metals emi- nentiy it for him for tue manage meat ct such a proposition as Is fore shadowed m the above letter. The peo- pie of Tucson are tO become congrAtu- lated on hayiGg 50 worthy and compe- tent a gentleman identified with the growing interests of theIr thriving city. His project Is not Gelusive scheme, like the numerous shelter tizzles that have vexed the good people of Tucson, but sensible, practicable and ecorom- Ical proposition to reduce such ores e can be worked by any known method of crushing or pGlveriHng. We would say right here for the instruction and bene- Ii. of Our numerous readers in Pima county, AriZonu. that the fifty mills sold by Mr. Dyer in this state within the past year tan unprecedented salel are constantly Tn successful opera tion. They perform all that Mir. Dyer Las claimed for them. They give entire satisfaction to their purchasers. Not one of them, we understand. has as yet been stopped for repairs. Orders are steadily coming to hand from those lo- calities where these mills have been thoroughly tested. a fact which may be accepted as substantial proof Of their excellence. Mining men pronounce them superior to any lOw-priced mill yet operated in California. They are pecu- harly adapted to the needs of the own CTS of small mInes in Arizona or any where else.
 Fifteen of the-e mllls have been sold since the beginning of the present year, and it Is quite probable that sales for this year will far exceed those of 1883.
 Mr. Dyer richly merits the rare suc- cess that has attended his invention. We bespsak for him a liberal patronage in his new field of operations, and com mend him and his valuable mill to all interested Tn mining operations in Ari- zona and elsewhere. We are pleased to know that his project tO establish re- luctiOn plant in Tucson, as set forth ID tn above article, IS receiving sub -khntIal rec, E;.!tion.'

TOMBSTONE TROUBLES,
What m Old Miner Has to Say Regarding
 the Matter.

A CITIZEN reporter this mcrning met a Tombstone miner on the streets and learned from him the true inwardnsss Of the mining troubles at Tombstone as viewed by the miners. He stated that before the pumps were being put In and while work was being done above the water level, the companies were Ieaping a harvest of from two to three hundred per cent. The miIers then received S4 a day. The companies now say that they cannot pay over g. day.
 "What is the condition Of things in this regard" asked the reporter.
 "Well,n sad he. it is just this: The mlners think that If the wages are cut down and they accept the reduction the wages will never be raised. The com panies make no promises to raise the wages after the pumps are in and work is common ,ed below the water level. IT they would make such q promise a compromise could easily be effected ] he water level Is six hundred feet be. low the surface. and the work is very hard at that depth on account of damp ness.'
 What is the streng b of the miners union at TombstoneY
 "The union the-e numbers about three hundred and includes about three | fourihs Cf the miners in the camp | There IS also a miners union at Bisbee | Those in Tombstone who dO not beloui | to the union do not constitute a sulli cient force tO work. the mine. rather thipK the companies preferred to shut down anyhow. for a while The companies calculate that it vii take SIX months to get in tho mschiner, | for pumping out the water and It is like ly that they would rather shut dow work m the mines during that time thal to keep up work. IL is customary to pa, higher wages for work below the wate level but in this case no higher wage | are demanded by the miners. The com panies that have shut down on this ac count are the Toughnut, Contention Bu' Grand Central The Head Center whicl Is owned by the Contention has beel shut down for some time. The tw, mines being so close together 1t WAS no considered profitable to work bo:h. Tn, shafts of the Grand Central are abou thirty feet below the water level an, about the same in the Contention" "Why IS it that miners are rot put tC work on ores above the water level whil, the machinery Is being put in?"
 ~The ores above water level are too low grade 10 pay for the timbers that would have io be Gsed in stoping it, a a consequence 1t is not necessary fo them % resume work a. tlis time. Tn stead of losing money by shutting dowI work they are saving
 ''ls any work being done in thes' mines?
 No work of any consequence excep | in putting n machinery"
 What condition will this stop plaCu | the miners in:"
 | Well, the miners must leave; that | all. None of them have money enougl to remain. Very few ot them had mo ney in the bank when II failed and mos of those who had money n the harl drew 1t out befor. the failure prepars tory to departure from the camp. Iher, were not SO many tLere who lost mOnel by the iailure as there were here n The son. That matter has been terribl! exaggerated"

A HOROSCOPE

We are glad to learn the Prescott prospects are so satisfactory to her peO- pie. We publish the following, takea from the Journal of that city, which does not sound altogether like whisJlins to keep up courage:
 At the present time Prescott is very dull, except with carpenters and build CTS. Why Is this:
 An old Hassayamper said to the writer the other day. in rrply to the question, of the cause of the dulIness of the times: Tt has always been so here since l have been d resident of Prescott. now hsrt on to fifteen years.
 Miners are now in the mountains either working their claims or prospect | ing for new ones. The farmers are bus fly blowing and getting ready for plant | ing. The cattle men are rodeOing and branding the calves. m short everybody not of the city are busily engaged, and l have no time either tO buy goods, trade or htigate, nor even to get sick, so that | the doctors are m the same category with the balance of Us. And thus 1t has ! been every spring. Spring k the dullest season of the year in Prescott,
 From the activity displayed in the building line in Prescott, the above the OTy of the old HasSayamper was also | believed m by those who build. They are taking time by the fo-elOck. and are preparing for a brisk trade m the near | future-when the mine owner c mes In with the avaIls oi labor, tine pr0syoctOT with his samples of ore, the farmer with his produce and the ranchmeu with theIr fat bovines and equines.
 In addition to all these antcipatjons the Prescottites have strong faith that our efficient cOuncilnen will SD order | things that during the coming summer, | there will be expended here q very large sum of money in building water works. But this not all, that gives hope for | the future of Prescott. The building Of a railroad to connect Prescott with the outside world has taken tangible shape. | We have begun now, m the nght man ner. We have taken up the matter our selves have come to the wise conclusion to wait no longer for other people t0 drag us out 0f the mire, but to pull our selves out. Have concluded tha: the maxim # We do not help ourselves, others-outsider-yI not give us helping hand.
 So the organization of the Central Arizona Railroad Company" is move m the right direction, and unless some unforeseen obstacle k thrown iH tue way the whistle oi the locomotive will rever- beratc among the surrounding hiiis of Prescott before the death of the current year.
 With tLe water works and railroad the life md prosperity of Prescott is assured and the horos scope of the future gIves ample cause for rejoicing among her people. These things accomplished others of substantial character will inevitably follow. The rate of insurance will be reduced; the price Cf living will be lessened; the merchant VgIli sell more goods, while at the same tima he will maze more profit because of ms in- creased sales. II wages are reduced the wags-meu will sti!l Ee better able to purchase than now, because Cf the re- duced price Of all commodities which he consumes.

The RnnanLn Etnrs.

There is no probability of a visit from the Bonanza kings soon. # was the in- tention of J. W. Mackay and young Flood to visit the Qluot'a mines this month, but the former, while on a busi- ness trip to Nevada, contracted cold which has confined lim to his room in San Francesca for some time, and this result has caused pos;ponement of the visit.
 W. s. Lyle. who went down to the mines several days ago, ana was subse- quently followed by W. II. Patton. and Mir Fish, secretary of the Consolidated Virginia, will return to this city on San day, and have engaged a special train, so that they can at once leave for Cali foTnia.

Skipped Out.

Sergeant Murray, who was recently convicted by court martial at Fort Lowell on charge of selling grain be- longing to the government, and sen fenced to one years confinement at the post, on Saturday night skipped out. Lieut.. kingsbury and three corporals were in the city looking for him. The corporals while stroiiinc around town pretty heavily laden. with six-shooterS were cspied by Officer NeEcome, who disarmed them ani placed the weapons in charge Of Adolph Jacobs. Subse- quently Lieut. Kincshury called upon the officer. explained matters and the terrible instruments Of death were re- turned.
 At last accounts the absent sergeant had not been fouud.

Another Riea Strike.

A few days ago Mir. J. F. Dixon, of the Russ house, received information that a rich strike had been made in the Black Wonder mine in the Sierra Colorado camp, and being one of the owners of the mine he lost no time in visiting the camp. He found that at depth of sixty feet the miners had struck body of ore that bids fair to prove a veritRble bonanza. The vein is twelve feet wide at that depth and the ore is rich in horn silver. They have drifts twenty feet IF length on two sides of the shaft and the mIne is considered by experts to be one of the richest ever discovered in Pima county.

Our Tombstone correspondent says: What will the harvest be? have talked with many prominent men, and their one opinion Is that the miners are playing a losing hand. The town will surely be- cone S3 camp. They look at il this way: The mines can afford to lay idle; the miners cannot The latter will be forced by idleness to seek employment elsewhere, and there will eventually be no trouble in putting three-dollar men to work. The mines will then resume work, and 1t IS expected that they will then employ about double the present number. One mine intends putting up an eighty stamp mill, and another mine will put Tn steam pump costing about two or three hundred thousand dollars. If this brief horoscope should prove true. Tombstone will yet see is palmiest days. Sc mote 1t be.

". H. PATTON.
The Bonanza King, Makes Flying Trip
 to Tucson.

W. II. Patton, manager for the bonan- "a kings at the Quiiotoas, who has been visiting the mines, came up Sunday afternoon on the stage and left in about an hour after his arrival for San Fran cisco. The stage he came up on made the trip in a shorter time than any other one since the line was started. It left Logan at 1 o'clock a. m. and arrived here at . p. m., but was delayed on the road three and half hours, which makes the actual time six and a half hours. The start was made earlier than usual in order to give Mir. Patton an op- porJuuity to catch the west-bound train. He had no time 10 spend with newspaper reporters, being compelled to hurriedly take lunch and go to the train.
 The reporter learned, however, that he was highly elated over the prospects 1 of the mines, aud that he asserted that 1 extensive work would be begun at once.
 The bonanza firm will at once begin | tearing down their mills at Virginia City, NevRJa, take the machinery tC | San ErRncicO for repairs and then ship | it to the QuiJOto8s. It IS their intention to put up a :0-stsmp mil at once neal | their well, haif mile cast of the town
 slte of New Virginia, and as soon a' other wells are completed the capacit! of the mil will be increased to fortl | stamps.
 | It is understood that some new devel
 opments have been made in the tunnels
 on the east side of the mountain an,
 that the working force Is to be increased
 at once. Two Dew vInZes are to be sunl
 at once and drifting will be commenced 10 the tunnels. This will necessitat,
 the employment of a large foCce ot men
 and will doubtless give the camp boom.
 It is understood that the object of NI
 Patton's eFrly return tO the north Is t'
 at once prepare the machinery for th
 mil for shipment to this city.
