More BOnanZas,

One of the most successful mining companies now operating in Sonora is the New Jersey and Sonora Mining Company, who own vast properties near Naeosarl, Sonora, about D miles south Of Fronteras and l50 miles from Tomb stone. They have a copper property very much resembling the Copper Queen at Bisbee, excepting the fact that the ore assays 160 ounces in silver. 60 per cent copper and S1i in god per ton. Two thlrty-ton smeitars have recently been erected and began operations last month. The bullion is hauled by team to Fairbanks, COchiss county, and thence by rail. Several of the directors of the compsny were present when the furnaces started up, snd they were highly pleased with the result.
 This company has also another very valuable property about six miles from thelr copper mine, npon which a 20 stamp mill Is to be at once erected. They have run a tunnel 800 feet into the mountain and cut the ledge 400 feet be- low the surface, where they have a four foot ledge of fine ore, about eighteen inches of which runs very high in sll- yer. The ore Is free milling, and the mine Is regarded as big bonanza in itself. The outlook for this company is said to be surpassingly bright. and the stockholders are cOngratulating them selves upon their exceptionally good fortune.

An Old Timer.

Slxty-five years ago at o'clock to-
 morrow morning, the subject of this
 brief and imperfect sketch first opened
 his eyes upon this great round world, in
 Wurzburg, Bavaria. Sixty-iye yeas is long life as the world now goes, and yet Col. Joseph Durr is a hale and hearty man, with vigorous physical and mental powers, whose age rests lightly upon his broad shoulders, and he is now Tar more capable of enduring a hard days work than most men of half his years.
 On the 2Sth of March, 1851, Col. Durr arrived in New York, where be remained for three years, partaking of his first ex- perience of American life. He then re- moved to Chicago and engaged in the butcher business, but contracting the prevailing fever which at that date put almost an embargo upon the settlement of that place, he removed to St. Louis In 1856 he cast his fortunes with the promising city of LeavenwOrth, Kansas, where he prospered in a marvellous de- gree, and he still owns excellent real estate m that cIty. It was during his seventeen years of residence m Leayen- worth that MT. Durr attained great local popularity and influence. In the Border Rufiian times he was powerful factor among the law and order class. and during the troublous times of the rebellion, he openly es- nnnGAI tha ITpnar T. with his voice and purse every effort to subdue the elnsurrection. He has always been a staunch Republican, even to the extent of being termed bitter partisan. Ills best days having been passed amid the dangers of an internecine strife, and hls sentiments having been schooled amid the dangers incident to those bleeding times, no light argument can wash away hIs firm convection that Re- publicanism embodies the only rational principles of liberty and free govern ment.
 In Leavenworth it was Mir. Durrs good fortune to entertain at different times the late martyred Garfield, the present candidate for Vice President, General John A. Logan, and the hon. ored commsnder-in-chief and President of the United States, General U. $. Grant.
 Mir. Dur then occupied the position of sort of John Kelly in politics, in so far as his leadership and influence was concerned, but he lacked the arbitrary bOssism of that prominent individual He was often a delegate to the great conventions, and he never undertook the job of electing bis favorite to office but he accomplished his purpose.
 In 1872 he left for the Pacific Coast and arrived in San Francesca on the 2Sth day of May, 1878, since which time he has passed through a career of VICES situde incident to the cosmopolitan character of the country, finally drift ing to Tucson, where he has built up fine business and is fast accommodating wealth. His friends are numbered by hundreds, and among them not one can be found but who sincerely wishes his sunset of life to be radiant with a corona of glory, and as the shades set tie down into the darkness impenetrable. may the peace that passeth all under standing rest upon his venerable countenance, and bear him tenderly over the Lethean stream into the rest beyond.

The Mammoth Mine

MT. A. G. Dyer got back from tbe San Pedro last evening, where be had baep for the past week superintending nlac- ing m position the machinery of tba mill for Goldtree X Schultz's Mammoth mine. Everything was adjusted, but at the last moment 1t was discovered that the belting Tn two instances was five feet short, and it was necessary to re. turn to the city for enough more to complete them. The mill IS located nearly three miles from the mine. on tbe San Pedro river. Wood is abundant and an lnexhsustible supply of water is ootalnable from the river, A good roa5 mas been made from the mine. all on 1oNh grade, and an ordinary team can nauI as much ore as can be loaded nro, the wagon. The hauling will not cost
 more than one dollar Der ion. Fvarv iacillty exists for reducing the ore at 2 mlnimum cost, and as the ore is abund- ant and purely free milling gold rock running from SIG to S75 per ton. and averaging nearly $50 Der ton. thare can De no question of the profitable working of the mine. The Dyer crusber works at its best on thIs quality of ore and gives excellent practical results.
 On Sunday morning steam was raised and the pump filled the 5,OOO-gallon tahA on the hlll above, in about half an nour. The whistle was then sounded TOT the nrst tune ID that neighborhood. ana the cattle grazIng lazily near by were panlc-stricken at the uneartbly scream, and started pellmen for fine woods above, while lot of mougrel dogs that lay basking in the sun yelled and jumped as though Gabriel had blown his trumpet to summon them into aog-heaven. One half-coyote speci- men leaped fully ten feet into tbe air and made rapid time to the top of un adjacent bill where he sat mp howl and bark, which he kept up for a Iong tune after the whistle had ceased blow ing.

 EDITOR CITIzEN:-The ventilation of Sheriff Paul in this mornings Star, shows that drowning men catch at straws. He and every other man m Pima, Yuma, Maricopa, Pinal, Graham and Cochise counties, knows that the office of Sheriff of Pima county has been we'll filled, and has been shown by numerous grand iuries to be sound He says, 1.-two terms are sufficient Tor any one man to fat and greed upon. He also uncompromisingiy compares him to "the Old Loco FOco battle cry, U. $. Grant, than whom no greater man lives to-day. It is an honor to our dis- tinguished citizen, R. H. Paul to be compared to that greatest of living men, and the county and its citizens will use that as watchword, "R. H. Paul, sec ond to Grant" The discrepaneies m the SherifTs office are open to the Star Inf the smallest magnitude to examine if there is one connected with 1t to show enough gentlemanly qualities to 0et the privilege to interview any one connected with that office.

A CASE OF MOONsTROKE.
The New Moon Bellies Tradition and
 Goes Back on Her Friends-That
 Planet NegIecting Business and Open to Criticism for Its Lack of Influence.

Open to Criticism for Its
 Lack of Influence
 The Arizona CITIZEN gets oil thls
 astounding piece of meteorological ln-
 formation about the effect of the
 changes of the moon on tho weather;
 "While many people do not believe the
 moon has any influence upon the rains,
 yet long observation in Arizona by old
 residents confirm this position of the
 new moon preceding a wet season"
 Who would have thought, before, that a
 new moon preceded a wet season? In
 Kentucky, Southern Indiana and Ohio
 there is a continued drouth. And Ari-
 z1na has been unusually dry this sum-
 mer. What Is this new moon about
 that she gives plenty of rain from
 Cheyenne to New York, and has denied
 the blessing to Arizona and along the
 banks of the Ohio for the past four weeks? Has the moon a set of favorltes, and rains on the unjust instead of the just? Where does the new moon stay during dry year? Where IS the moon factory where new moons are made? There has been moon loafing around the earth constantly for millennium of years, and how much longer IS not recorded, but these new moons seem to have more influence with the present administration of weather matters than tie old lunas, and are cred tied with extra work. How much larger or stronger they are than the old moons we are not informed, but the wicked as- tronomers have measured the old and new moon and found each of the same size and travelling in the same orbit, and so some peculiar people have concluded that 1t was one and the same moon play ing bopeep around the earth. If this shocking proposition should be estab- lished, then there would be trouble most dire. for each moon would precede a rain, and there would be strife to see which would be greatest, ID which some one would get mOonstruck. In our To- calIty the rain fails sometimes to appear for nine months in the year, while ten | new moons have been loafing around | doing nothing of any commercial value. |
 Besides, the heaviest rains of last | winter occurred in what is called the | "old moon," in utter disregard of the l claims of the new moon, while in March | and April the full moon got away with | the heaviest rains, and the earth and l the moon were full.
 If new moons precede wet seasons, | why do we not have a wet season every | month? Knowledge is anxiously sought | for on this aqueous question. In the | interim probably the hoarse ban-dogs | will continue to bay the icy mOon.-LOs Herald.
