Tucson a Name.
OHARLES U. TUCsoN, April 3, 1884.

We are frequently asked the origin of the name of Tucson, and from the best in formation We can acquire the word comes from the remotest classical antiquity. After the Trojan war, Captain Jason Set out for Colekis; where gold was to be found and the Greeks washed it on sheepskins, (CglifornIa over again. Skipping over a few thousand years; when the Spanlards came to this coun- try in 153S-15z2-they found gold in the Canon del Gro, north of Tucson and washed the gold out on animals skins. Consequently they called the town Jason or "rOizOn" iu Spanish. The proofs can be found in the History Of the Society of Jesus,' in the Vatican library at Rome, in the Biblio- theque in Paris, in the British Museum in London, in the Congressional library at Washington, in Bancroft's great library in San Francisco and if We had any library Tn Tucson It ought to be here, but the people of Toizon prefer to read "Ihs History of the Four Kings"
 The town has been inhabited for countless ages by some kind of people; as the Casa Grande," according to the accurate measurement of Castaneda in 1542, has not been diminished in size ten per cent n three hundred and fifty years. You have only to run back in imagination to the abort ginal settlement which covered periphery of more than ten miles
 As wrote once, before the Royal Geographical Society" in London, in q paper published in the archives of that great association in at;emDtiDg to de- scribe the Grand Canon of the Colorado rIver which has cut its way more than mile deep and hundred lea4 ues long in the Ruts of the earth; down through the granite; down through the lime mnrmuring, vain man you know nothing of time"
 have been asked the derivation of the name Tucson more than q thousand times, i'll many languages, and should be pleased if auy knowledge that have gathered Tn a somewhat variegated life ''should live after me; let the evil be inferred with my bones." c. ID. F.

Mines and Mining.
TPinal Drill.l

The renewed rain has again so dam aged the roads that all hauling of ore and wood is stopped. The Silver King company's mine and mill are both idle, the first because they have too much ore on hand which they cannot get rid of; the latter because they have not got the ore at the mill.
 The Windsor eompany's mIll at Pinal is rented to the King company, who have taken it on a lease of one year.
 Mir. Wheeler IS working the Eureka mine on rich ore
 The Australia is charged with ore which cannot be hauled over the wet roads, and the shelter is therefore idle and out of wood. The wagon road and chute are finished.

 Jersey Cattle.

Jersey Cattle
 Next week there will be a grand four days sale of thoroughbred registered cattle of the above breeds at Kansas City, commencing on Tuesday April Sth, and continuing until all are sold, the offerings consisting of about 150 head The Leonards, of Mt. Leonard, Mo-, and Hon. M. H. Cochrane, of Compton, F. c. Canada, are the parties making this sale, which Is of itself a sufficient guar antee that the sale will be properly con- ducted. As is well known to our readers. The LeoDards advertised a sale at Elm pnria, Kansas, for last month, but owing | to the excitement consequent upon the | discovery of several herds of diseased cattle in that locality, they were com pelled to declare the sale of, after they had gone to great expense in advertising, preparing catalogues, etc. Since the uuwarranted scare" about the cattle di sease has died out, it Is hoped they will | be able to secure good attendance of buyers at their Kansas City sale, but whether the attendance IS large or not, the cattle will all be sold if anybody bids. Mr. Cochrsne's offerings consist of Galloways, Short-horns and Jerseys, catalogues of which may be had by addressing the Live Stock Indicator at Kansas City, while The Leonards catalogue is in the hands of Walter c. Weedon, Kansas City. The cattle are all Ebod quality, ard of as good pedigree as any to be found in this country, and buyers may rest assured that everything offered wll be just as represented. Remember the sale begins on Tuesday, April Sth, at Riverview Park, Kansas | City Stock Yards.

 For the Pfospector. That isn't a very elegantly phrased dispatch, and is a little obscure, but we presume that the joy felt over the com pletion of the telegraph line between the two cities WIS so great that the boys took several drinks and the CITI- ZEN and Star set down for their portion of the expenses. Be that as 1t may, the event Is worthy of public demonstration and acknowledgment. It IS one big link connecting the two towns together. Our relations are very friendly and we hope they may be continued for many years to come, and that QuiiOtoa may never grow less, but become one of the brightest and richest spots in all Arizona.

The First Ore.

E. ". Shortridge came in Thursday with a ton of gold ore from the Glorieta mine in the Sierritas, owned by c. C. Ste phens, Mrs. A. Livingston and Mrs. $. NJ. Gillett. This will be the first ore crushed by the Dyer cannon ball mill just erected in this city, and has been selected as peculiarly adapted to test the capacity of the mill Assays give an average of SO per ton in gold, and as the ledge possesses a good width, with apparently lnexhaustible bodies of similar ore, It Is probable that the can non ball crusher may have ample Op- portunity to test its endurance on that grade or ore. As this is the first lot of ore brought to Tucson for reduction, 1t is worthy of record.

Wake Up!

There is beginning to be an inquiry from Globe about the status of the mar TOW gauge railroad. The people, as we understand it, of that thriving town, are in favor of the road, and always have been. but they have been choked on oy inc fellows in the interest of the Mineral Belt road. It is getting time for those who have their fingers about the throat of the narrow gauge road to loosen up and let go thier hold. Tucson IS prosper ing-prosperiug surprisingly for the energy displayed. Is there no way to get the antagonistic elements together The affair has been in statu quo too long already and people are poking run al ! us.

TOTAL WRECK, April ?. 1884.
 EDlroR CuIzEN-Dear Sir: Your scheme for concentrating low grade ores. and figures for cost of same, as given by experienced @ mining men, are a little of, and for the benefit of those in terested but not familiar with the mat ter, l would respectfully call attention to a few points that must govern one in making correct figures for cost of con centrating ores in any locality.
 All ores will not admit of practical and economical concentration, and this must be determined by proper test.
 Most ores suitable for concentra- tIop, carry a small percentage of lead or copper, and the market value O; thsse metals must be counted in 1gurlng value of concentration.
 Tue number of tons of ore required to make ton of concentration Is n very important point affecting the cost
 AS the heavier particles do not car ry all the mineral in ore. there is always more or ltss loss, varying with the character Of the ore.
 The market value of silver is what must be figured and not the assay value.
 IL smelling the concentrations an- other loss occurs, ordinary ores losing live per cent. of the silver. and nearly ten per cent. of the lead. There is stllI another discount in shipping the bull lion.
 Gold occurring with sulphurets is suc- eessfully concentrated. and the con- centratlons are roasted and usually treated by the gold colonization process.
 Many lit e points must be considered Tn this as iD any other business. Haul Ing ten miles Is a heavy tax on low grade concentrating ores and few can stand 1T.
 All that Is wanted to make the con- ceDtration of low grade ores in Tucson successful is, sufficient quantity of the Tight kind of ores and the right kind of men to handle 1t.
 The recent superintendent of a cheese factory Tn Chicago l. not the man to be interested with the reduction of ores, for with the best he will only save the cream. J. F. RYAN
