A LITTLE enterprise, coupled with a moderate amount of capital. might ere ate for the people of Tucson one O: the most charming summer resorts imagins- ble, where our families could reside dur- ing the heated spell in health and com fort, and the man of business could reach them in fifteen minute from the court house. From Warmers mill, across the Santa Cruz valley, conical mountain rises to @ night of several hundred feet above tine surrounding valley. The top of this mountain is comparatively level and embraces a large area. A summer hotel on its summit would not be ex- pensiye, but it would afford better &C., commodations and more rare attractions than can be found in nine out of ten of the so-called summer resorts. An in cline railway up the mountain, driven by the mill water power, connected with a hack line from the city, could convey the passengers to and fro for a small fare, or Q good carriage road to the summit can be constructed for $500. The top of this mountain is from
 fifteen to twenty degrees cooler than the city, and the breeze reaches it from every direction. It is a very slightly locality and could be made popular and prof. table resort. Let some of our enterprls- ing capitalists think of this.

The Sonora Railroad WashOut.

lRecord-Epitaph.)
 Special Rdvices forwarded to the Record-Epitaph from the locality state that exceedingly heavy rains fell all day Saturday along the line of the So- nora railroad, delaying trains and c8us- ing much damage to the railroad. The south bound train Sunday didn't get beyond Magdslens on schedule time, while the north bound train of the same day was seventeen hours late at Imuris, and did not proceed farther north than Nogales, which place 1t reached at 10 a. m. as usual. Superintendent Scott, knowing the regular train from the south would not reach Fairbank in time to take Tombstone passengers to Ben son and make Southern Pacific cOnnec- ton, made up a special tram for the &C., commodation, which performed the duty properly belonging to the regular tram. The greatest damage to the road is Tn the vicinity of Querobabi, where there are nineteen washouts of more or less in a distance of nineteen miles. The long bridge near tbe station Is completely obliterated, even the pile. upon which it rested having been car ried away by the devastating ele- ment. Another serious washout occurred between Carbo and Hermosillo, where the road IS damaged for several miles, and in one place is submerged for a long distance. The regular train from the south did not reach Nogales Monday so a special train WAS made up at that place and run to Benson on the regular scedule time. There will be no train between Gusymas and Ben son until Thursday, but We understand MT. Scott IS making every possible effort to re-establish connections and have his road ready for business once more. In the mean time trains between Nogales and Benson will be run without | and as far to the south | ward of Nogales as circumstances will 1 permit The train from the north Mon- | day evening did no. proceed beyond the | Mexican line, and as a result the passen- gers of both trains were obliged to seek | at the hotels of No yales, and SO numerous were the tray slers that they engaged all the beds ID own and so flooded the Hotel Cosmo- Dolitsn, the leading csrsvsnsary of the burg, that mine host Csssabon had to provide for his guests in cots and mat resses so numerous that they covered | Ill the available surface of his dining oom, office and psrlor. Verify 1t is an Il wind that blows nobody any good.

POSTMASTER GENERAL NLAs is evil dsntly not a protectionist. He is, in fact, d radical free trader. He has shown his utter contempt for all precedent by re- iusin- t1 distribute the usual subsidy for carrying tine mails in American ships. He would open this service to bids from the whole world, and rather than encourage the struggling merchant marine of his own country by a cent of tribute, Le would see the ocean mail service performed by a Chinese junk at the lowest bid. That is the Democratic doctrine. + they could they would throw open our markets to the compe- htion or cheaply manufactured goods from the nations where labor is de- graded 10 peonage, and sweep peace and plenty from our happy country where the workingmsn now enjoys some of the comforts Of life. We do not believe in the public funds in great and useless subsidies, but We do believe in judiciously encouraging American industries and building up American homes, which can only be done by the system of protection which has been so under Republican rule.

 On March 17th, 1864, he became Com mander in Chief of the armies of the United States, and took bis head-ouar- ters with the Army of the Potomro in the field. With nearly 100000 men. he at once planned two campaigns one under his command against Richmond. and the other under Sherman against Atlanta. He began the movement against Richmond on May 3i, with an aggregate force of 140,0OO men. and at- tempted to place himself between the Confederate Capital and the Confeder- ate army; but Lee foiled the masterlv attempt m a mssterly manner by taking the.ohensive and precipitating, with ad. vantage to the confederate arms a ser les of battles After the partial success at Spottsylvsnia he forwarded to the government the dispatch closing with the memorable words: q propose to fight 1t out on tbis line if it takes all summer"

 THE Globe Silver Belt reproduces the CITIZENS article on Dutchy, the Indian scout under arrest for mutiny, and says that ID. A. Reynolds version of the murder of Jacob $. Perrin by the Indian Dutchy, is clear and interesting. Reyr holds himself was covered by Dutchy's gun and would have been killed had he not, when backing from Dutchy, fell into the Gils river. Now that Duichy IS where the Marshal can reach him, he will not be excused if he does not forth with execute the warrant of Dutchy's arrest and have him in the U s. District Court when called to plead to Gn Indict- ment for murder. Gen. Crook has stood between Dutcby and the hangman's moose for two years, and if Crook should continue to render constitutional law in- operative in cases of felony where h. dians are the guilty persons, then it would, perhaps, be we'll to disregard criminal law altogether and defer to the superior judgment of Crook"

ADULTERATIONS.

Four years ago the city ofParis estRb-
 Ished a municipal office for the analysis
 of articles of food. Some thirty expert
 chemists are employed, and any perscn
 in Paris may take his sugar, spices,
 wines and other groceries to the offi,e
 and have them tested for adulteration
 free of charge. On payment of fee Of
 g. he may have an actual analysis of
 the article, specifying the elements of
 which 1t consists, and the quantity of
 each. The working of the institution
 has proved eminently satisfactory.
 Adulterstions have largely diminished,
 and the number of prosecutions Tor
 Rdulterating alimentary substances has
 been quite considerable. Although
 two-thirds of the analyses made are
 gratuitous, the number of paid analyses has increased so that the average cost of each analysis is only a trifle over a dollar.
 Here Is a reform that might be advan- tageously adopted in American cities. Grocers, if they are candid, will admit that they sell a number of doctored ar ticles; that tea, coffee. sugar, wine, beer, brandy, pepper, pickles, syrup, flavor ing extracts, are constantly Rdulterated by the addition of chemical constituents, l which are either calculated to improve the apparent quality or to add to the weight. This is not always done by the retail grocer; more frequently it IS the 1 work of the wholesale dealer or the job | Der. Doctors, also, wIll certify that the ], use of these chemicals, especially power l ful Rcids, Is extremely prejudIcial to health. Why should we not try to stop it:
 The method of the Paris Bureau Is very simple. A citizen suspects that hIs sugar is adulterated. He takes sample to the Commissary of Police of his quarter, and gives his name and Rd- dress and the name aud address of the grocer who sold it. The CommissBry forwards the sample to the bureau. where it is analysed. If it Is all right the fact IS communicated to the citizen and the matter ends. If 1t be adulter- sted two inspectors visit the grocer, take fresh samples of his stock and snalyze them. If they are also found to be adulterated the bureau reports the fact to the Police CorrectionRlle and the grocer IS tried. If convicted he is liable to imprisonment for two years and to a fine of SlO0. This seems to be a simple and fair process, much better than the one adopted some years ago by the London Lancet, where the gro cer always claimed that the Lancet people had themselves adulterated his sample in order to make a sensation. Who will start the idea of a Bureau of Analyses of Food Products in San ancisco?-Chronicle.

THE communication published yester- day bringing the news of the discovery of the new placer mines at Sonoita, was written by a reliable gentleman who is quartz mining in that locality. He had not dreamed of the existence of placer gold in that neighborhood and had not the Papsgo Indians found it the discov- cry would probably have never been made. Our correspondent states in q private note that at least one thousand Pspagoes are sinking holes almost everywhere in that neighborhood, while the squaws are busy carrying water in ollss for the miners. The location of these plscers is just below the boundary lIne between Sonora and Arizona and nearly south from the Guusight mines. Until further information concerning the placers has been received We would not advise any rush of adventuresome miners to that section. It is hard, dry and dead country.

 congressneH from Illinois, with none Of
 whom he had the slightest acquaintance.
 On September lst, 1861, he assumed
 command of the district of southeast
 Missouri. and o. the 9th he, without
 orders, seized Psducah, commanding
 the navigation of the Tennessee and the
 Ohio rivers. Early in November he was ordered to make demonstration Tn the direction of Belmont, about eighteen
 miles below Cairo, his headquarters, which movement be effected with great skill and bravery, landing at Belmont and breaking up the enemy's camp with fearful odds agains: him. In February 1861 he moved up the Tennessee against Fort Henry, in conjunction with a naval force, but the fort was sIlenced by the gun boats before the troops arrived. He now. and without orders, moved upon Fort Donelson, and with q force of l5,0OO men, laid siege to a garrison of 2l,OO0. After three days of hard fight ing he earned the works by assault, cap- turing a great number of prisoners, small arms and cannon. This was the first great success of the national troops in the war, its result being of stupen- dous importance.
 General Grant was now made Major General of Volunteers and was placed in command of the District of West Tennessee. In March he moved up the Tennessee, and encsmped with 5000 men on its west bank near Pittsburg Landing, waiting the arrival of General Buell. with 10000 additional troops. On April 9th, however, the Confederates came out from Corinth, 5000 strong. and while 5000 of bis men were beyond supporting distance, set upon him with numbers, in the hope of him before Buell. arrived. Both armies fought bravely, but Gen. Grant, 1 although suffering terribly, held his

 DEAR SIR:-At request of the petition CTS beg leave to hand you, enclosed, ! two numerOusly signed petitions from citizens ot Tucson and Quijotoa, pro- l testing against reducing the mail ser wee on Route No. 4JlI6 Tucson ard l QuiiOtOa, from six times week to semi weekly. l can cJnscientiOU,ly affirm that the proposed reduction of service will be of material injury to tle patrons of the Qmlotos office, and to the busi- ness interests of the people of this point. The difference m the conditions govern ing the needs of a mining camp and a
  try and those governing the necessities of like population, in numbers, in the Eastern states, is as marked as the characteristics Ct the two people. Rap id and frequent mail facilities are eie- ments that enter so largely into the wants of a comparatively uoT mining camp and community that they become necessities. There are two things that the people of tCez3 isolated frontier sst- dement's feel thLt ff3n their peculiar condition they are entitled tr. To mat ter what tue expense may Je b toe gem eral government; one is protection from lhc hostile Indians, and tue other mall communication that will cover every possible want. They feel that the zen eral government should bear part of the burden lucIds a; Co the development of her frontier resources and should give every possible -c0UraCeneut tD their efforts to develop her mineraI wealth efforts that SO frequently result Ia d.s- astrous failure.

THE HERO AT REST.

At an early hour this morning the telegraph flashed the intelligence across the continent that General Grant died st eight o'clock" Althou gh the sad event had been momentarily expected the news came with startling audiences, and spread pail of gloom throughout the land.
 Words are indeed feeble to express the admiration, love and esteem of his countrymen for the exalted patriot whose soul has this day entered upon the unspeakable joys of eternal life, and to record their profound sorrow and grief for their bereavement. Silence and holy tears can alone demonstrate the hallowed lamentation that wrings the hearts of fifty millions of people who bow their heads Tn humble sub mission to the decree of One greater than he.
 A nation is to-day plunged in deep griet-the whole world mourns, for his name was universally revered. Even the dark drapery of heaven hangs low to earth as if even the clouds would weep tears of sorrow. The scroll of im- mortality has received the last record Of his deeds and the great seal of divine sanction has been appended. He IS at rest.
 Ii IS not appropriate in this tribute to his memory, to enumerate his herolc deeds of vslor upon the field of battle, nor his equally glorious achievements in the victory of peace. In all his works the mysterious hand of God has guided him safely onward, and though his name should be emblazoned athwart the blue architrRve Of heaven, the glory would scarcely be equal to the love his fellow men find to-day in the surginR emotions of their grateful hearts.
 His was a life of triumphs. Called forth from obscurity by the demands of a great emergency. be devoted all his wonderful genius to the restoration Of his isbleeding country. Ambitious only for good. he cast aside the sordid affairs Of personal life and labored for all his countrymen. To what further perfection can heroism attain?
 As aa humble mark of respect to the great man, We drape our columns with sincere mourning. lis all that We can do. In silence and in tears must grief expend its lamentation upon an occa- sion so sacred.

A MEXICAN newspaper which desired to say a good word for General Grant, compared hIm to Manuel Gonzales, late president of the Republic of MexIco. As Gonzales was a notorious thief who stole himself rich while president of of Mexico, and as he never did or said anything in his life that suggested the least degree of greatness, it is difficult to detect the points of resemblance be- tween the two men. Occasional trips to the United States to enlarge the ares of their wisdom will evidently do the Mex ican editors no hsrm.-Albuquerque JournaL.

ALTHOUGH it is extremely difficult to
 obtain reliable information concerning
 tho progress of the war by Mexico
 against the Yaqui Indians in Sonora, enough is learned through various sources to warrant the belief that DO measure of success has rested upon the Mexican forces. In almost every en- g7gement the Yaquis have shown great skill at warfare and brought disaster and confusion to the ranks of the invaders ot their country. The Mexicsns have been very reticent in making public the particulars of their combats, which would hardly be the case had they achieved any signal victory over the followers Of Csjeme. The battle of June 2ilh, the news of which is just coming to light, was a disaster to the Me1icans. Tn their retreat, or rather withdrawal to await the coming of cooler weather. it is said that the command of Col. LOT CuZ0 Torres was cut of from the usual watering places by the Yaquis, and as a result he lost three hundred men of the seven hundred comprising his com maLd. It is hoped, and it is very prob- able, that during the present cessation of hostiiities, treaty of peace will be made that will give to the Ysquis the permanent occupation of the lands they have possessed SO long time.
