township in MI, Mexico, and the
day is not far i stant when fancy
prices will be given for even q
grazing lease of our surrounding
valleys and mesas.
We have quite number OF fruit
trees in the town, rnd from the
small stock that is planted there is
suo!, 3 rich yield that j. is believed
that it would be a profitable speca-
lation.
Another feature OF this district
has been entirely omitted by Mr..
Ritch. He fails to mention that
the climate has all the properties SO
much In demand among health
seekers, the heat is tempered by
the elevated position OF the town,
and the bracing north winds can
be avoided by moving down into
the valley. Altogether, Hlllsboro is
certainly desirable place of resi-
denca. 1t is the county seat, the
centre of the largest mining dis
trict of the Territory, and in such a
position as to demand the easiest
access to any part Of the Territory.
About three miles from town
there is one of those sodium
springs, the water being just warm
enough to make it both pleasant
and healthful bathing. Many OF
our citizens, availing themselves
Of the kindness of the owner, speak
very favorably Of it and him. Mr..
Ornbaum has. at no little cost, both
in money and labor made the
spring capable Of being easily
cleaned ont, and the water supply
being large it is always fresh and
inyigOrating.
Come one, come all; there is
room for every one of you. 1t you
are in search of wealth, we have
room among our mountains Tor
you to find more wealth than you
ever dreamed OF. If you are in
search of health, the bracing air OF
our mountains or the warmth of
our valleys will give you back the
roses you deplore having faded,
and if you are looking for. pleasure
you will find the Black Range
close enough to make long excur-
sions through them, to hunt the
antelope and deer, or shoot the
quail which is 30 abundant on our
pralries. In fact, such combina-
ton of mesa, valley and. table lands,
can be nowhere else found, and
have at the same time all the adj
vantage of pure air and q warm
climate.

WASHINGTON LETTER.
From our Regular Cerrespoudent.l
WAsHINaTo Aug, ~, '65.


WASHINGTON, Aug, %, '85.
1t IL said at the postofice depart
ment that the appointment Of the
messenger boys in the new special
letter delivery system, about which
some question towns, with the APP
proval OF the Postmaster General.
Tho rules REGULATING this servics,
which were recently issusd by the
Postmaster General, stEte that the
boys are to be appointed by the
postmasters, and lists are to BE-
sent to the department. The Act
ing Postmaster General, Colonel
Stevenson, has written to the
American District Messenger Co.,
in Philadelphia, declining their
offer to furnish boys for this pur-
pose for the Office in that city.
Fears are expressed lest the
Swatara, which is to bring . cargo
OF silver dollars from new Orleans
to this city, may be overhauled by
pirates and despoiled Of her treas
ure. But such alarms are idle, for
it is doubtful if even q pirate would
take the cartwheel dollar unless it
was forcibly dumped on the deck
of his rskish craft and he was Civ
en- no option.
There is a contract in existence
between the treasury department
and Adams Express company,
made during Secretary Sherman's
term, by which the department
agrees to employ that company as
its exclusive agent for the trans
portation of money from the SUBJ
treasures to the treasury at WASH
ington and the reverse. It is stat
ed that the Adams Express COM
pany hold that the project to carry
$5,0O0,0O0 from New Orleans to
Washington in the Swatara il 4
violation OF the contract and that
they will probably bring su,t
against Treasurer Jordan. Thus
far, however, MI. Jordan has not
been notified Of any suit. The
position is that the contract gives
the Adams Express company
preference over all other compan-
les, but does not preclude the gov
ernment's transporting its own
money in government vessels.
Moreover, it is thought that the
contract might be open to objec-
tions upon the ground that it is
against public policy.
President Cleveland, in his pur-
pose to keep the public good in his
eye, manages to run against a
large assortment OF private inter-
ests. The ocean steamship COM
panles cannot have their subsidy;
the cattle tarons must get out Of
the Indian lands, and must pull
down their fencss; the land grant
railroads must not impose on SET
tiers; political bosses are kept
from looting the oficss, and the
army and navy pets must take
their share Of service. The latest
sufferer is the express company,
which claims that the government
Is taking fat contracts out Of It's
mouth by transporting coin in
government vessel instead of send
ing it as freight. This style Of ad-
miuistration may not % popular
among those who feel the shoe
pinch, but in the historic words
of Gen. Bragg, the people ought
to love it for the enemies it makes.
The Secretary OF the navy will
soon issue an order to navy officers
similar to that recently issued by
Secretary Endicott with relation
to army officers on detached duty.
The navy regulations require that
oficsrs shall serve three years At
Sc: and three ON shore. returning

ted New Mexico" gives sketch Of
HilIsboro. He says IN reference
to the Hillsboro district
.'"Within which the Animas peak
is the centre Of system OF gold,
silver and copper mines, with an
extended s,@s .. gold p!ac;ers FROM
which there has been large
amount Of gold taken out during
the past Ave years, although for
the most of that time the greater
portion Of the district has been
owned and occupied by a hydraulic
company that has not yet comple-
ted its line Of pipe. 1t has, how
ever, expended nearly two hundred
thousand. in the erection OF . ca
pacious reservoir, and In the laying
Of some six miles of large pipe,
part Of the way through q tunnel.
During the last season it has util-
lied such water as it has secured
from the North Percha, in washing
one ofthe small and least impor-
tant 81 the many gulches it controls,
realizing very satisfactory returns.
Considerable work and money has
been expended in the development
of the Bobtail and two or three
other mines, which are only need
ing the employment OF sufficient
capital to make them large pro-
ducing properties."
Mi. Ritch's recital Of the advan-
tages'to be gained in and near
Hillsboro is both meagre and dull.
He does not give figures or facts
to show what an outlay Of few
tho1sands may produce, and he on
iy:trles to appease our just indig-
nation with. cursory remark on
the attaiEahle wealth Of this dis
trict He fails to psrticularise, and
leaves out one Of the wealthiest OF
the many mining camps in which
=
forty thousand dollars worth of
gold was found in a short time by
washing alone.
Every hill has its store of some
prscious metal waiting to be
wrenched from the iron grasp Of
tha rocks, and everv rock would
almost pay to crush for the gold or
silver it coAtains. and every water
course has its quota OF wealth
buried among the sand. !. All man
ner Of mining can be .practiced in
the vicinity Of the town, it having
been ascertained by the experts
that the gold vein runs out to the
very water in the. Percha. Mining
OF every description. dry and wet
can be had, we'll fifteen feet deep
has from eight to ten feet of pure
water.
The Hillsboro district is not con-
fined to mining alone, it has large
tracts of the finest grazing land in
the Territory, being almost equally
divided INTO mesa ami valley lands.
The water is pure and permanent.
and, best of al, it is. abundant at
every turn. As q stock-raising
section, 1t is peculiarly adapted to
all breeds Of cattle, having high
table lands for the hardy kinds and
cosy valleys for the finer breeds.
Sheep raising has been proven to
be one of it's prominent capabili-
ties, the small cost it would take
to erect the little winter shelter
needed rendering it q feature of
advantage to those who are ac-
quaintsd with this branch OF busi-
ness. No other portion OF the
Tertiary presents % better pros
pect for the cattle man or sheep
raiser; the grass is lucious aud

little cost. would be the most COM

NEW WAY TO COLLECT AN OLD DEBT
That portion of Scranton, Pa, known as
Providence has been recently in o ferment
caused by the unseemly demonstrations of
a blunt old settler named Aaron Mcdonald,
who persists in annoying the family of w.
w. Wintor, former president of the Second
National Bank, and who owes Mcdonald
an old debt of about SIS, 900.
A few Sundays ago, during a religious re-
vival at the church of which the Wintons
are members, Mcdonald created a scene by
denouncing Mrs Winton vehemently while
she was extending the hand of fellowship to
some new members Of the congregation.
AS soon as the sensation subsided Mcdonald
expressed regret for it, and it was supposed
that the matter was ended.
But another and even more public demon
stration has just led to McDonald's arrest,
and he has been held to bail for his good
behavior For some weeks past the Saliva
ton Army has been working up the Hyde
Park portion of the city into O religious
frenzy. About twenty members OF the
army, including some five or six females,
invaded Providence, and as soon as Me-
Donald saw them he offered them S.
to accompany him to the Winton residence
and pray and sing for the inmates The SALIVA, .,
tionists would not accept s., but agreed to take
81. Then motley procession, headed by Nc.
Donald, marched up the Hill to the residence OF
the banker.
The party stopped in front of the gate, aud Nc.
Donald, assuming command, exclaimed, in loud
voice, Nov pray for old Winton." The band be,
gan to pray as directed, and hoped the Lord would
convert Winton and persuade him to pay back
McDonsld's money. The Winton family took nc
notice of all this, but presently Mcdonald called
upon them to come out and be converted
At last Mrs. Winton came out on the porch, &C
companied by her son, and begged that the holy
show" would cease. Thereupon Mcdonald flew
into a rage, denounced the family as thieves and
threatened dire destruction upon them unles:
they paid him his money. 1t was useless trying
to reason with him, and his wild vituperatiol
was interspersed with some equally wild psalm
singing by the Salvation Army. A great crowt
congregated about the place and Uttered arount
there until the Salvation people dispersed.
Subsequently Mcdonald was arrested, and hi
| brother Uriah gave bail for his future good con
duct. Mcdonald is wealthy and has succeeded
