INEFFICIENT. The long and costly drain

the water on Sunday might last and the Gel
lars on Carroll st were flooded rs badly ms
last season This is a serious mistake and
will of course bc rcmcdicd only at nearly
the original cost,
While the rain fall was an unusual one
and may no, again occur for years, it will
unfortunately require that but little if any
more than half rs much water come to the
dram in order that lis capacity be met for IN
our Judgement, the volume of water that
came down outside of the drain nearly or
quite cquallcd that which came out of its
mouth ON Main-st This being true, we may
expect rains cXcry season which will tax the
drain fully to carry them Off The drain is
very proper thing and it is to he regretted
that a greater capacity was not given it,

BIRD OF THE SOUTH.

o, mocking bird. blithe and CAV.
What wonderful things thou hast to saw
Other birds sing in the forest wild,
But thou art darling home-bred child
Early and late thy wonderful song,
thrilling, inweaving, to home belongs;
For there in that tree vast thou daintilybred
Where orange bloom circled thy little bed.
Poet, composer and mimic beside.
Thy song floats on, medley tide
Whatever it is, like the fragrant pines
1t more and more the heart entwines.
Bird of the South never to roam,
Ever and ever this is thy home;
The northern spring has no charms for thee,
Lover of sun and breath of the sea
Many a time, by my child's low grave
Thou hast said 0, heart, be brave, be brave
And the Fathers love needs no faith to see
With thee, dear bird, with thee, with thee
They tell of banana and citrus bloom,
OF treasures untold these sands entomb;
But Florida ne'er could be home to me.
Dear Bird of the South, if 1t held not thee

Adjacent Mines.

The unexpected development of such rich mineral deposits as exist in the Black Diamond and Monarch mines. about six miles from the city, has stimu- lated prospectors in the search for prop
 critics adjacent to town. The above named claims now pUssess considerable value and are daily appreciating. An other z lod discovery has recently been made Tn a southeasterly direction, about twenty miles from the court house and very close to the railroad. The three parties owning this clam are working IL and have already taken out considerable ore that averages over fifty per cent lead and forty ounces of silver to the top.
 The ledge IS now about six feet wide and the ore body ls constantly incress- ing in width and richness. They have n med it the Pleasant Hill mine, and are confident that they possess a god bon anza. This mine, like many others now being opened, has been walked over by prospectors for years and no one has before dreamed of driving pick into its rich treasures Shipments of the ore will soon be mado to Benson and to Pueblo for tests of its working qualities.

The Yaqui War.

lFrnntleT.l
 We are without any reliable informa. ton from the Yaqui WIT. Governor Tor res of Sonora, has been ordered to the City of Mexico by President Disz to ex- plain the cause of this imbroglio. The Mexican government must remember that its indepen dence was achieved by ihe native races. Hidaigo, Morelios. Iaarez and other great Mexicans were of pure Indian blood.
 The Yaquis are undoubtedly the most industrious and worthy race in Sonora, in fact the bone and sinew of the state. Cajeme has the advantage of an AmeIi- can education obtained in California; and his statement of the causes of tht conflict is expressed in excellent Spanish The Mexican officials have probably made mistake in their treatment Jf the Yaquis which the federl governmen will correct.
 The Yaquis have from time immema. rial collected duties on small yessels transporting produce on their river, aud the very name custom duties" indicates ist origin and antiquity. A single boat refused to pay three dollars, the custom duty. the boat was confistated and burnt just as civilized nations do. The Mexican government represented in So- nora sent a military guard to arrest Ca jeme the chief of the Yaquis.
 He was absent from home and there is abundant proof that they outraged his Nife and daughters. Tue president oi Mexico must blush at such atrocities ou the frontier and the only remedy We can suggest Is the prompt punishment and disgrace of those who have disgraced the Mexican uniform before the blaze of civilization.
 No atOnement can be made to Cajeme for the wrongs he has suffered, but the president of Mexico may prove that he Is an enlightened man by puuishine the scoundrels who have caused thiscalamity

A New Tanning Material.

The following item. winch We clip from the Los Angeles Herald of tbe 18th instant, doubtless refers to the same plant which MT. Edwards, of Tempe, has so successfully employed in making leather, and which the Gazette has taken occasion to mention on past occasions: There have been received at this office samples of m herb called "yerba," which IS found in large quantities in Arizona. 1t contains from % to so per cent Of tanniD, and is suitable for tanning leather. Specimens of the leather made by this process can also be seen at thi- office. sBy experiments already made in Arizona and others in progress in some of our local tanneries 1t has been proved that this herb Is good substitute for the common oak bark generally used. IL adds weight to the hides, which IS b great consideration, and tans the leather perfectly in half the ordinary time. A carload has been sent east from Tucson. -Phenix Gazette.

The Commercial Masquerade.

From the general interest that is being manifested in society circles over the coming masquerade ball to be given by the Commercial Club in their rooms on the 9th of April next, 1t is evident that the affair Is going to be immensely pop ular, and that the personification of characters Is going to embrace wide range. Many of the ladies purpOsing to participate have ordered character cos tunes from the east. Others again have sent westward hoping there to be better suited. A number of gentlemen taking their cues from the ladies, have done likewise. IL IS the intention of the man. agement to sell but a limited number of tickets sufficient only to defray the re- quisIte expenses, and as this amount has almost been sold 1t Is very probable that many will be disappointed. Of the remaining tickets, 1t has been decided to sell to the first corners. A word to the wIse is sufficient

Smith, tho Bullion Thief.

E. E. Olcott, mining engineer and su- perintendent of the St Helena gold mine, Las Delicias, Sonora, IS in town. An article fully describing the thief will be found elsewhere in to-dsy's CITIZEN, from the Cochise County Record. In ad- dinon to what is contained in the Rec ord, Mir. Oicott informs the CITIZEN that be speaks the Spanish language fiuently. He was in Tucson about sixteen months ago to get married, but instead, took up with Jude woman who followed him as far as Uris, where she deserted him and returned to Tucson. Mir. OlcOtt Is of the opinion that there are a number of parties in Tucson who know him. Six years ago when Joe Maxwell was foreman on the San Xavier mIne. he worked there for a time, but as soon as he got a few dollars ahead he spent it in gambling and riotOus living.

Daring Theft.

Mir. E. E. Olcott, superintendent of the St. Helena mine at Las Deliciss, Sonora, srnved in this city recently. He subsequently, visited the Record office. and from him it was learned that on the 3d of the present month the com pany forwarded to their agent at Her mosillo bar of gold bullion, valued at Sl3,O00, by the hands of their confiden- tbl messenger, one J. W. Smith. Four days are required to make the trip to and and from Hermosillo, and it was uot until the l2th that the failure of Smith to return or send word to the mine awakened suspicion that some thing was wrong, Superintendent Ol- colt immediately started to hunt up Smith, and upon reaching ZamOla a station on the railroad, discovered that Smith had there taken the train for No- gales some days previously. Here was found the express wagon m which Smith had made the trlp, together with hIs valise and the clothing he had worn when leaving the mine. It was also learned that he had shaven his moustache off while in Zamola. Since that time no clue has been had to his whereabouts, save that he was seen in Nogdles on the 9th. MT. OlcOtt at once communicated with the Mexican authorities, and officials were al once put to work. Placards offering a reward of g., 1000 for the recovers of the bar were also issued and distributed by order of the authorities throughout So- nora. Smith IS described as a young man about , feet inches in height, | light brown hair, blue eyes, cheeks sunk en from loss Of the molsr teeth and given | to the habit of chewing tobacco with the iDcisors. He had been in the servIce of the company about two years, and en- | ioyed irs fullest confidence. In addition to the Sl3,000 bar of bullion, Smith alsC secured S350. in Mexican money, whicl NIT. OlcOtt had given him to exchange for green backs at Hermosillo. The Record also learns that Smith formerly resided Tn this camp, and was formerly in the service of Ham Light and also Jimmy Carr as a teamster, while occa siOnally earning a livelihood by gam
