The Mexican Central.

The bridges along the route, as we'll as the road bed of the M c. railroad are pronounced magnificent by all tray elers over the road. Few of all the old roads of the United States afford such easy, comfortable travel as this. This railroad up to November. 1883, has re- ceived subsidies to the amount of 5, l, ,S39,- 423. The earnings of the southern division, 34G miles, for the second week in October, were S13,}34, against s9,472 for the second week on the same mi leage SIS. The other end is completed
 to within seven miles of Zacatecas.

Brewster and His Weakness.

From the Philadelphia Chrcn.-HeraljI The New York World has done a good l service in publishing accounts of the
 manner in which q number of American | citizens sport heralaic devices and
 coats-of-arms III imitation of the | English aristOcracy. It IS surprising how many accOplished snobs 1t has sue ceeded in unearthing. Among them we
 are pained to see the name of our Uncle Brewster. In Philadelphia We all know
 his little weaknesses for the childish
 trappings of the English nobility. He
 has long taken delight in copying their forms, in dressing like them and in adopting thelr style of official title. These foibles have been tO us here a source of amusement, and SO many imitatOrs has be in the region of West Walnut street among our old families, that the undemOcratic nature of the weakness had almost ceased to be a sub ject of comment.
 But now that he is national chsrac- ter the abominable snObbishness of those habits has become more conspicuous than 1t otherwise would have been. The people of this country will only laugh when private citizen apes the manners of baronets and lords; but it becomes a subject of disgust, if not of indignation, to them when a cabinet officer takes a pride in coats, crests of arms and ped igrees.
 Our Uncle Brewster has never ap- peared to us in more ingloriOus light than when We beheld his coat of arms, representing a shield and a leopard's head, pictured III the columns of our esteemed New York contemporary. We have always taken an amisble interest in the old gentleman, but We regret now that he has the eyes of the country on him and Is no longer one of our local curiOsities, that he should glve New New Workers SO admirable an opportun- ity to ieer at and deride him as a Phila- delphian.

An Admiring Stranger.
Philadelphia CalI.l

Do you notice how attentivcly that gentleman has been watching me for the last half hourY said one young lady to another at an evening party in New York.
 ''Do you mean that handsome man near the piano?"
 Yes"
 "Well, now that you speak of it, he does seem somewhat interested in you."
 "He certainly does. I declare, g continued the young lady, "I believe he has fallen in love with me. Isn't it delightfully."- romantic?"
 A few moments later she was talking with her hostess, when as an op- portunity presented itself, she carelesly remarked:
 My dear Mrs. B, pray tell who that quiet but very distingue looking gentleman is near the piano? l do not remember of ever seeing him be- fore"
 "Probably not, replied the lady, ''but he is quite well ~known in New York's best society. He is a detective" !"

Arizona Pioneers.

As thirty years have elapsed since the purchase of Arizona by the United States, the surviving pioneers are re- minded that the average of human life is near.
 All those in favor of forming a Pioneer Association for historlcal and humanitarian purposes are requested to meet at the Palace Hotel, Tucson, on Thursday, the last day of January 1881. at s o'clock P. m.
 The line of demarcation suggested is the day of celebrating the opening of the Southern Pacific Railroad at Tucson as subsequent settlers can scarcely claim to be pioneers.
 All pioneers who desire to honor the Territory and their companions are re- quested to be present; or to send letters.

Chicngo Irter-OceAn.l


 Science secured a great triumph in Wilkesbarre county, Pennsylvania. For the first time in the history of coal min ing in that valley a shaft has been sue cessfully sunk through the quIcksand on the banks of the Susquehanna river. It was 8 dangerous piece of work, and many predicted a failure, but it has been accom- mplished at last. To-day about noon one of the sinkers at the Pittsburg shaft struck bedrock, which was the sig nal for general rejoicing by all those employed in the dangerous work of sinking the shaft The victory was com plete. A piece of the bedrock was at once sent to Wilkesbsrre for examinR- tion, and many coal operators at once repaired to the shaft to share in the tri- umph. Over q year has been spent ID the work, requiring an outly of hun dreds of thousands of dollars.

b Brewster Cameron, Esq, General Agent,
 Department of Justice, Washington:
 SIR: Your resignation as rendered is accepted, and with great reluctance. You have been so useful in in organiz- ing the branch of this department which was committed to your charge, that am unwilling to part with you. For some months past your requests to be relieved have been suspended by me, for l could not see how might supply your place. But Gen. Cameron IS right; @ man of your energies and experience prospects in active life should be else where than in a minor official position in tLls city. You have assisted me more than 1 can tell in a short note, in meet ing the necessities cast upon this de- partment by the growing population and extent of the country. Without you in the beginning l would have had great difficulty in executing fully those duties of the department that belong to the portion of it which was confided 10 you. Your Iudicious organization and arrange ment will make it easier for some one that 1 may appoint to take up what you leave than to have begun where you started; yet 1 had hoped to have you to the end. However, go wherever you may, you will be useful; for you are dil- igent dutiful, trustful and must prosper and prevail in whatever you undertake
 l am truly and respectfully your friend.

LOGAN CITY, Jan. +, 1884.
 EDITOR CITIZEN: Winding in and out, first one way then another, like track made by some tangle footed imbiber, one wonders what can be the reason of the delay by our county supervisors in mak- ing a new road to this booming camp. Does the city of Tucson want its tradeY If so her merchants must prod the su- pervisors and see to it that such a road is made. Close observation over the route convinces me that nearly straight road can be made and the distance les sened to within slxty-five miles; and this camp warrants every exertion on their part to hold command over the supplies thereto. Already over twenty houses are up and open, doing busIness, and as many more under way. and everybody waiting for lumber to arrive. From all directions teams and supplies are com ing in. Familiar faces from Tombstone, Globe, Florence, Casa Grande and a ma jority of the n. and h. pueblo meet you at every turn, all cheerful, active and ready to turn lively dollar Tn almost any direction.
 A mountain of ore awaiting the stroke of busy hammers and drills, a foundation already laid for the most lively and best camp Arizona or any other camp has ever seen, and all cer- tain to spring into active, throbbing life the instant water is struck. And with Captain Quigley quietly yet steadily go- ing down, stroke after stroke, thump upon thump of his machinery to- wards its hidden receptacle, the day of such an open sesame IS not far distant in this camp. Quick to see its future and pioneer as usual your columns will in few days. bear evid- ence from the records" of how early J. 5. Mansfield IS on the ground with his pioneer news depot. He has secured choice location for business purposes and several others for investment. His lumber is on the ground and he com mences building at once. Sam Drach- man Is here, under way. Seiigman, fly ing around for a vacancy and a good one if possible l.. Meyer, with goods on the road and house started, and many more too numerous to detail. And old Mount Ben Nevis" looming Rrandly mp, whose rocky side our friend Ben Hereford was afraid to climb, smiles serenely in the sunlight over all.
 With the prettiest location Of q min ing camp I have yet seen, with streets of easy slope and grade, a mile in length, splendid view for miles over the valley, wide awake business men al- ready in harness with every evidence of countless wealth of bullion awaiting its taking out and with mines to the right of us and to the left. the tide seems to have turned and bright prosperous days, for dear old Pima county to be fast con- ing. Let your merchants grasp the situation at once and bind this source of income and wealth, with links of com merce and barter, good roads and raIl- roads fl necessary, so firmly, that out side competition and strife can never sever them.

THE selection of Senator Edmunds a second time to act as President pro tempore of the Senate is the best that could have been made. Should the President die-and all men are liable to die-the country would have man in every way competent to assume the duties of that high and important office. Senator Edmunds aside from being the best lawyer in that body, is a con- servative man who can be trusted on all great questions that may arise, and bring them to satisfactory solution.

Mining Fever at Gila Bend-HOW It

CHA BEND, Jan. 20, Is

CHA BEND, Jan. 20, 1884. EDITOR CITIZEN: It appears that the mining epidemic that prevails in your city at present is atmospheric, and is spreading over mountain and valley and from village to hamlet, until almost the entire populace of our thriving terri rory are becoming lnnOculated. Two of the victims came to our quiet little vil- lage last week. lGboring under a high state of fever. And our villagers are now almost entirely victimized. The first symptom is a strong thirst for mug gets; then delirium takes possession of the brain and during the hallucination pack saddles, burros. arastras and six teen stamp mills, seem to be confusing the victims mind. Up 70 the present time no cases have proven fatal, and We hope with good nursing to brIng them all to the surface again.
