A large body Of ore has been discovered
on the Quijotoa mountains on a claim
adjoining the Croker mine. The ledge
is from one hundred to one hundred and
fifty feet high, and exists for distance o,
miles. 1t is bastard quartz and carries
streaks Of horn and malleable silver. A
few months ago it was offered for two
thousand dollars, but found no purchaser
To- day its value can hardly be computed
1t is known as the Deval claim and is
owned by Tucson parties

Yuma Mines.

There has been much activity among
the miners during the gong ou
of the old year and the coming in OF the
new. Several claims have been re.locat
ed il the ella City range, the Posa noun
tains the Cabeza Prieta district, the Pinto
and Mohawk ranges, and those who have
failed to keep up assessments are left.
The new district in front of Mohawk, to
the north, is receiving considerable at
tention. There are almost inexhaustible
supplies of free milling gold ore, which
assays all the way from IS to 800 pei
ton; and in order to have an immense
bullion output good stamp mill is only
needed.
A new district of mineral has been dis
covered, and has been named the Chic
ride. 1t is south of the s. P. R. r. FROM
Tacna. Several locations have been
made. The ore assays well on the sur.
face. The veins are permanent and wide
and OF the true assured class.
There will be news for the public from
Yuma county mines during the present
year. From the number of fresh horses
tracks made along mountain and mesa, !
predict golden harvest for our County
Recorder during the next sixty days.
There have been many pilgrimages
made to different Meccas, and the soul OF
the prospector will have no fears to ap-
prehend for two years more to come,
Your correspondent has been induced to
try his luck at Fortunes great wheel Of
mines, and from the appearance OF sack
of ore near by it really looks as if win
ming number had been drawn. I will
not blow my horn too soon, though. /
will wait until the assayor makes his re-
turns, when I hope to be able to shout in
triumph and dance for joy. In the mean
time will build my castles in the air.
and watch the mirage OF Dame Fortunes

Concert at the Penitentiary.

On Monday evening last, a very enter
esting entertainment was given at the
Penitentiary by Capt. ingalls,, the Super
intendent, being a concert of vocal and
intrumental music, in which the prison
ers were the performers. They had been
in training since about last Christmas IN
der the direction of Madam Ingalls, and
J. s. Bancroft, of the Republican" The
concert took place in the main passage
way of the Prison between the range OF
cells on each side. Seats were arranged
at the north end of the passage for the
visitors, who we're quite numerous and
among wnom were several ladies. At
the south end, a stage had been erected
for the performers, organ etc. The in
troductory was made by II. K. White,
Captain of the Guard, in few appro-
pirate remarks. Then came chorus sing
ing with organ accompaniment. Then a
solo upon concertina accompanied by
a triangle. More chorus singing. Solo
on the violin by Mexican. Chorus by
a number of Mexicans. And finally q
duet, Madam Ingalls, sustaining the con-
tralto. This was the gem of the eve
ming and was encored 10 REPETITION. In
fact, tie entire performance was very
pleasant and interesting. Good voices
abounded, AMI further instruction will
make this feature of prison life a relief
and pleas ire to al concerned. To out
siders it will become attractive, and to the
object, procurement of funds for Prison
library will promote a feeling OF inter-
est in the cause and the benefcaries,
that has lain dormant too long. Too
much credit cannot be awarded to the
Superintendent t, his earnest and accom-
plished wife, and all others who took
part in bringing about condition of
things so meritoTious and harmonizing.
The Board of Prison Commissioners
were present and it was announced from
the stage during the evening that they
contributed, as individuals, thirty dol
lars to the fund.
1t is in contemplation to make these
performances periodical, at which limi-
ted number of persons will be admitted
upon fee of twenty-five cents each, and
any further voluntary offer to the library
fund. None are restrained, however,
from giving at any time, and their con-
tributions will be gratefully received.

Mars Again.

There is a great deal of excitement in
Moline today over the revival of the
Henry Mars case. 1t has been given cir
culation that Mars is before the grand
jury in hopes of finding indictments
against the parties who gave him coat
of tar aud feathers some months since,
and the rlImor has awakened a spirit of
Indignation which will end, it is stated,
in punishment no less serious than the
one wherein he played a principal part
last June.
Molineites are loud in their denuncia-
ton of States Attorney Entrikin, who,
they clam is particularly friendly with
Mars, conducting very weak prosecu-
tion against the negro when he was tried
for his illegal olfense, and now quite act
i've in securing the town for witnesses tC
testify against the party who tared anC
feathered Mars BY bringing the case into
the circuit court the county Will be put a.
considerable expense, and as it is claimed
that Mars trial was little better
than a travesty on justice, it would
seem proper that the case, with al
Its nastiness, should be dropped What,
ever is done, Moline is entitled to thu
name of being the wickedest spot in Rocl
