A stranger landing ID our midst, can not fail tc be impressed with notion that w9 are a happy community, even If not as rich in the worlds goods as We might desire. Music everywhere, bars well pstronized, stores all doing a large and remunerative business, a dance house in full swing, cock fights Sunday afternoon, theatrical performances at in- tervals. pretty girls to be seen every where, well dressed men, increased freight and gpassenger traffic, renewed activity amongst mining magnates, as is evidenced by the increasing number of car loads of ore passing through here for the Benson and Pueblo smelters, when by rights 1t ahould stop here. Buildings going up everywhere and real estate steadily increasing in value. We have much to be thankful for, and would our business men and men of means lay aside all personal feelings and jeal- ous mistrust of each other and work together for the common veal, we could soon have reduction works erected here, and il is hardly necessary to draw any pen picture of the benefits that would accrue to this community, or the num- Der of mines that would be in active operation, now laying idle by reason of the excessIve freights aud expenses of shipment tO other points. Easy &C., cess to works, cheap carriage. and far honest price for reduction would make the town of Nogales one the most pros porous m the TerritOry.-Nogales FrOn- tier.

 EDITOR CITIZEN: The people of Crit tenden feel jubilant over the prospects Of securing sampling works at this place. A gentleman If means and rep resen'ing considerable capital, of Den- v5T, Colorado, has made very liberal proposition tO the people here and will, II hIs opposition Is accepted, Gt once commence the erection of samphng W rks. We think there Is no question about the business men accepting hls his proposition and We may expect a consequent boom ID mines and mining interests hereab0uts. IT said works l-e evected this part Of Pima county wll present lively scene.
 No man was ever great or did great things without effort and no one de- serTes success who IS not earnest and industrious We think Mir. w. \. Tweed works with above principles in view. MT. Tweed Is pushing his contract here and consequently Is being successful. Mir Tweed IS deserving Of success, be- cause ot hIs industry and close appl!ca- tion to business. He knows the kind ot men he needs and consequently has corps of able and willing helpers. All the iron and heavy part ot the mil wlll be delivered here m three or four days more, and the entirety will soon be on the cars. Such work earns and will command the confidence of business men.
 The month of April shows large in- creases m both shipments and receipts Of freight at this point. During the month 50 tons of merchandise was re- ceIved here, making receipts of Critten- den office for freight alone, nearly SSOO. During the same tune about 290 tons of freight was forwarded from this station. If this continues Crittenden will soon be claiming the commercial center of a vast territory"
 Uncle Johnny Rusher, who was re- ported ID the CITIZEN as fatally injured some ttme since, We are glad to state IS improving and his recovery IS almost assured, although it wI!l be some tune before he w.ll be able to be out again.

Tie Murder at Harshnm.
CRIrrENnES- May fsss

OklIrESDES, May 4, 1885.
 EDITOR CrTIzES:-Since my last the usual quietude of thus community has been sadly disturbed by homicide in the heretofore sedaie town of Harshaw. on Thursday night last the las; rays of sunlight shone brightly on q man fall ot the vigor of life and dreams of the fin. ture radiant with brilliant promises. The sun shone again on Friday and in the path of its daily visitations it found tho same individual with pallid cheeks anu stiiiened form, unable to exchange greetings or 10 appreciate hIs daily yis- itors' sRlubrioas caresses.
 The stout and vigorous form of twelve hours before was pale in death. A!asl Tor the uncertainty of life. And how fer r1b!e the results of the reckless use of firearms. This mans name was James Claiborne, who has been a resident of Arizona for about nine years past. He was originally from Texas and his peo- pie now reside in Henderson.
 His slayer's name is Wm. CoyiDctop. but generally known as Chloride Bill.'' The causes leading up to the killing are various and difficult ol ascertalniue thoroughly, short of the courts. But rom what your correspondent has b, en able to learn the facts are about as fol- lows:
 There seems to be two factions for Individuals and their friends) who have been at "outs" for some time and es- peclally was there bad blood existing between the victim and his assailant. On the day of the killing some trouble arose between the Salcido brothers and one Lewis with reference to the lease of house belonging to the SaIcidos Lewls was running saloon in the house and for some reason the Sglcido boys attached his saloon. Lewis furnised bonds and retained possession of same. de thereupon arranged with Claiborne to turn over his business to him on FrI- day morning. Claiborne was a friend of Lewis and CoviDgtcn was friend of Salciios.
 About 10 o'clock at night Claiborne and The SRicido boys were talking in the streets and a shot was heard. Immed- lately thereafter Covington who was in the saloon at the tune picked up a Winchester and started in the direction Of Claiborne and Salc.do where they were staudlng talking; approaching within a short distance of Claiborne he addressed him with a vie epithet and immediately fired. The ball entered the lace between the nasal bone and the upper lip on the left side and came out near the medulla oblongata. Claiborne was sesUungly lifted clear off his feet and fell without a groan, death being instantaneous.
 Covington then returned to the sa- loon, took the shell out Of Lis gun and deuarted
 IL R said that the party who fred the trst shot before Gown stou went ont ia known and that he left with Covin ytcn.
 or course, both parties having friends. considerable excitement prevailed, and even next morning there cane near being serious trouble, Pat Ryan having fired one shot gt c. Sa.cidn.
 It was very serious affair and your correspondent expects Co have more news to send you growing out of tne affair be- fore 1t Is entirely settled. Sheriff Paul promptly responded and at this writing ever! thing is quiet. SPoT.

The Czar's Domain.

One seventh part of the land surface of the earth. and one twenty-eight part of its whole area constitute the domain of All the Russians. More than 100000 people call him father, and are under his absolute government. In Rus sia child IS born on an average every eight seconds throughout the year. and a death occurs every eleven seconds. At the present rate of increas the populs- tiun will double it in about sixty years. But Russia IS very far behind most civl- lized nations in the care of children and in the preservation of life. Statistics show that GO per cent of all the children die under the age of five years. The average duration of life in Russia IS only twenty-six years, which is much be low the average in the Western cOun- tries of Europe and in the United States

HEADQUARTERS G. A. R.,
 AoyUTAST GENERALS OFFICE,
 TOLEDO, O., April 30, 1885. } General Orders No. 15.
 In accordance with rules and reguls- tions. May 30 will be observed as Me morial day. As defined by resolutions of the eighteenth annual encanpment, 1t will be sacred to the memory of our heroic dead. Let no idle merry-mak- ing mar its conseceated hours.
 Twenty years have passed since our last general review. The death roll of years has added tens of thousands to the half million graves we left behind. The daily tolling bell, the freshly knot tied crape, the untitled drum, the slow and solemn procession, tell how fast our comrades join the sileut ranks above.
 One by one a gallant lscder languishes upon his couch of pain, and over myr- iads of homes the death angel hovers dsrkly. Hslloved te the day that brings such solemn thoughts Rs these.
 Our comrades sleep well. No tear can disturb their profound slumber; no perfume of flowers make theIr rest more sweet But wherever Memorial day is observed there rises a higher ideal of American valor, a holier care for the men who saved the Union.
 Let the posts of the Grand Army everywhere assemble. Enlist all loyal hearts ID an observance of the day. Let the women and children be invited. Let all who reverence the flag unite in the ministration of loyalty and affection. The custom of inviting the clergy to hold memorial services on the Sunday preceding Memorial Day Is again com mended, and comrades should feel 1t s privilege and duty to attend.
 Where there are no graves to gather around, as on the far frontier, memorial services may still be held. Whsxe there are no flowers to wreathe. there stIll remains that perfect flower of freedom the red, white and blue. Above each patriots grave may its beneiiction fall.
 The flowers of love are immortal. Be 1t ours to cherish them in our hearts and let their fragrance fill our lives.

Sonora Mines.

Prof. A. Guzman has returned from an extended trip through the Cananeas, in Sonora, where he had gone to report on several ne~iy opened mining properties, near the Copper King group, mines which are rich in gold and silver. This IS the group of mines upon which he re- ported last year, and upon his report a sale was made. They are now recover ing from the mismanagement under which they have been operated and are keeping a thirty-ton wa.er-iacket fur mace running day and night. It is esti- mated that they are now clearing sl,0O0 per day. The Superintendent is J. J. Williams, Q brother of Superintendent Williams, of Bisbee fame. The mines are situated in the Cauaneas.
 The Pesqulera group, which partly RdIolus the Copper King, and which has been worked until recently by Gen. Pes qu era, for twenty years Governor of sonora, are being now further developed by c. S. Benham, esq, who intends to bring the property to the attention of eastern capitalists. He IS opening up the several mines con- prised in this group; is constructing roads and erecting n number of dwell ing and business houses, which gives Pinal. or Campo San Carlos quite an Amcrlcanized appearance. He is also arranging to place on this group of mines ore or two copper and one lead furnaces. The mines are very promis- ing and will be extensively worked. Mir. Guzman exhibits some tine speci- mems Of ore from the P,squiera group. These mines were evidently worked ex- tensiyely many years ago, and there are ruins of many ancient smelters for both copper and lead to be seen in that i'm immediate neighborhood; there are also ancient dwelling houses and even a church. The large piles of slag still re- maining contain much copper and sil r, giving evidence of the extreme richness uf the ores worked.
 Gen. Pesquiera had, at one time, at the Cananea ranch, many furnaces erected, worked by large steam engine, but these were destroyed during the Maximillian war by the French and their sympathizers. The General has now in hIs possession a silver cup from the first silver bullion from his smelting works, made in 1861, in Eng land.
 The Cananea mountains are well adapted to extensive mining enterprises, as they abound in copper and silver ores, plenty of lime and iron for fiuxing, abundance of water and an inexhaustible supply of wood for fuel, timberirg and building purposes. The lower slopes of the mountains are covered with oak, walnut and sycamore and the ridges with pine, extending for miles. These are at an elevation of from coco to 1000 feet above the sea level, giving de- lightiul summer climate and mild winter weather.

From q Mormon Standpoint.

President John Taylor, of the Nor mon Church, being asked his views of the recent decison of Supreme Court m the Clawson polygamy case, said: "l consider the Court the most august lud- ical tribunal of the United States. Its decision ends the controversy, and should be respected by every good cit izen, but respectfully dissents from the decision in thls case. The Congressional Territoral law passed in 1874 gives the nOu-MOrmon population of Utah, which is seventeen per cent. of the whole number. an equal representation on the jury list, with the eighty-three per cent. of MOrmons. The recent decislon ignores the right of all believing Tn Mormonism to sit on either grand or petit juries, leaving the Mormon not one friend to represent them to be se- lected from the basest of men. An ac- cusation, as the courts are TOW con- stituted, means conviction. The results will be R reign of terror, causing hun dreds of men women and children to flee from the United States, seeking refuge anywhere from such injustice. In spite of any respect for the Su- preme Court the feeling down m the hearts Of men IS that such acts are cruel, tyranny violation of the constltu- tional right of religious liberty. l enter ed into my marital relations before any law was passed to the contrary, and have broken DO law. 1 look on the present crusade as a religious persecution Many Mormous suffered death for their religion, but DO man was punished for aobbing the Mormons. There IS DO place in the world where female virtue IS more sacred than with t.e Mormon people. They do not op-
 pose the legitimate enforcement of tbe laws, but claim the guarantees awarded any other class of citizens.

MT, Gladstone.

1Upo,l this wonderful mans back rests the world as much as ever It did on the back O. Atlas, and II IS wonder that the extreme gravity of tie situation does not Pr .s:rate him. He must Lave the support of the Almighty, whom he has undoubtedly been trying to serve and obey all along. The expediion which he sanctioned to Soudan was mere ly to relieve the pen,-up Egyptian troops in several gsrrisOns- and after ward Gen. Gordon, who had gone v'1th the gallantry of an Amadis de Gaul or King Arthur to save them All that NIT. Gladstone wanted was to save these men, for whose safety he felt that BrI- tain was responsible, and then to retire. His unwillingness to send a strong force into the Soudan, provided the deliver ance of these shut-up garrisons; and Gen. Gordon could be secured m any other way, and his refusal to defend the ative chiefs who were ready to side with the British against the Mahdi, pro- bably frustrated the very object of send ing an army there at all Now the same unwilllhgness to plunge into war with Russia if 1t possibly can be avoid ed with honor, has enabled the latter nation to obtain by fraud great edvan- tage-, should war be the result. Never theless, Gladstone's seeming weaknesses are unquestionably the result of the best of motives, and the prestige result ing theretrom will probably be worth more than all the apparent loss. Even should France tsks this favorable op- portunity to satisfy her grudges against England, and though Ireland should boil over into open rebellion, Britain, with the Lord on her side, would be ID one way or the other stronger than all three. The only thing in going to war IS to adopt the American maxim. "Be sure you are right, and then go atead.' The Lord has by His unseen providence made war in many cases a ploughshRre to break up both fallow ground and ground encumbered with thOrnB and thistles.-New York Witness.
