Steins Peak Mines.

The following description of the Stein's Peak mines. from the LordsbuIg Advance. will interest many people in this section. The new camp is called Evansville.
 Messrs. Smith. Weyman | Kemble have sold the Beck mine at Stems Peak for S75,0O0. Those gentlemen deserve great credit for the practical and busi- ness manner in which they have devel- oped their splendid property, and aided in The opening up of the entire dis trict. they encouraged prospectors, advising them .o visit tuis section. The big ledge wgs discovered within mile and half of the Beck mine. and those gentlemen have secured the property of The Volcano and POcohonias mines, which are the best developed as well as the richest and most eXtensIve ore bodies ye. discovered in the county. Ebe ore bodies m the Volcano mlne IS nog Is feet thick and they have not reached the wall yet. The ledge crops out and Is located for miles.
 The next clam north of the Volcano mine IS the Sister Martins mine, and Is owned bY Hughes. ndnUher & kellum. This Is also fine strong and rich mine aid l. joined by the John Smith mine which is the property of James Dolsn and Oven Williams. and IS s valuable property. l. is difficult task to give description of the different properties in th.s camp, because 1t IS a surprise tO every body to find such tbinR within few mlles of .he railroad, and ID a most accessible section of the mountains but while miners passed over the ledge and missed IL. IL Is in the hands Vf good men at present, because a more manly, intelligent ard hearty set of men, than the miners of Rem b @ district don't often strike it rich Wash Evans who IS chef among the boys on the big ledge, IS 8 man of 30 years eXperIeDce m mining, was m the business while boy of sixteen with his father in the state of Georgia. The town-site is called after Wash. and will soon be known Rs the booming town of Evansville. J. W. Munches IS also iu- terested ID the Volcano well as m the NJ ,rthal and Is 8 gentleman of intelli- gence and energy and will start ma. chine to bore for water in Evansville ID \ few weeks. Messrs. Morris. Work and Wier have good property ID the dis trict, and several other men but they have not done enough of development to determine the value of their claims.
 IL IS safe to ssser. that all who own property in the vicinity of the big ledge will make money, because it IS not p-tsible t0 keep this camp from bslng the most extensive Tn either ter ritory. Ire miners certainly selected 6 nice gentleman after whom 10 name their town. There is DO winter man living than Wash Evans.
 Bob Williams and old timer ID this section holds a good interest on the big ledge.

Its mines have been held by people who were unable to work them properly. These people nave always been willing to turn them over to capitalists. for reasonable considers t,opt, and it plesses the Courier to learn ,bst the turning over process IS now go- ing on.

WE are glad ,o sac SD many q, ,b,

WE are glad to see so many of the
 good mining properties ID New MeIico
 pass into the hands of large mining companies who proposs to thoroughly develop them. We are perhaps even more pleased to bear witness to the same condition of aff4irs in Arizonu and Sonora, for they mark the beginning of great mining activity and sure prosper ity. Confidence in the safety of life and security of property in this section of the country has been fully restored, and the merits of the mines upon the market are beyond question. It therefore remains for our people to let eastern capitalist. know of what We have tU offer them m the way ot speculative snd industrial enterprises, aud they wlll respond quickly. We have thousands of grand opportunities for profitable investment now dormant from lack of enterprise and capital, which, If they were brought to the attention of eastern capitalists, would be made pro- ductive without delay. What is wanted. IS plain, practical statement of each of the many possible enterprises. with es- inmates upon basis o. practical devel- opment, that will be comprehended by the sagacious business man and its merits readily seen by him. There are now and have been too much said CT written of glittering genersli:ies and ex- sgSerRted brsggadocio that carry upon the face credentials of their own gaudy painting. In the practical world a pound of homeiy fact has far greater commer- cial value than a ton of sparkling py. rites of sentiment, and the candid, st straightforward and faIr methods of se- curing the sId of eastern capital and en- terprise will prove the most effective and satisfactory. And now while the tide is coming ID, should move promptly and surely, ID the matter of placing the bea- o1n light of our resources so that it will shine properly before men of Capital and enterprise. and We will ride easily over all shoals and quicksands into the hay en of sffiuence and activity.

 warrant for 5000 from the Select Knights was handed her yesterday. She has received already Sl,OOO from the Workmen's guarantee fund of Cali fornis, making a total of 5000 from the varlous departments of tue Ancient Order of United Workmen. This IS a torci6le illustration of :he practical bene- nts that charaoterizs this noble order. put Do one not intimately associated With Its active workings can realize the broad scope Of its frsternal and chAri- table lsbOrs that reach in behind the black pal of woe and misery to lend helping hand in the time of need, end to lif' the hesvy burdens from the frail shoulders of the griefstricken household or the afflicted family of a sick brother. There are far more snd greater beauties that crown thus blessed institution than the mere cold business matter of paying the stipulated indemnity to the family ot a deceased brother: There is an undercurrent of philanthropy that the world doss not see, whose mission IS to the living victims ot misfortune and administering the tender mercies that link mort-l hu- manlty closer to immortal divinity. Iheee are labors that are like the sweet smile ot heaven to the unfortunate, snd II the prayers of the lowly and afflicted are heard in hesveD, the watchful eye of the ever living God looks down spprov- lngly upon His good work accomplished through the medium of the Ancient Or der of United Workmen.

HE Nogsles Frontier reads the press
 of Tucson lecture upon the apparent
 lack of interest manifested in defence of
 the settlers of that section against the
 land grant sharks that threaten to dis
 possess many of them of the fruits of
 their enterprise and long toll. So far as
 the CITIZEN Is concerned, We can say
 that our whole sympathy and influence
 ars with the settlers in their struggle
 against the unjust and merciless exsc-
 tions of the greedy human cormorauts
 who seek to profit by the industry of
 honest toilers by depriying them ot their homes, and were the voi5e of the press potent to srbitrste the differences of this character that exist in several DOT tIons Of our territory, We would speak with voice and language that could not be mistaken, against such larcenous iniamy. The press may speak its senti- mepts, as the CITIZEN has frequently done ID the cause of the honest set tlers, but the subject is before another tribunal with whom their influence has no effect, and ID whose final decree even pity for the stern consequences must give way to law and fact. We do not for a moment imagine that the palpsble wrong sought to be inflicted upon these people by floating forfeited or fraudu- lent grant over their properties will be suffered to succeed, and when all the facts are laid before the cour.s tfor such is their certain destiny through early con- gressiOnsl ensstment) the scales of jus tice will surely weigh them with stern lmpartiality. We are not yet prepared to believe that justice Is a mockery, or that the laws are framed to oppress the right and champion the wrong, and ID this channel we look for the triumph of settlers over their greedy snd merciless despoilers.

ANOTHER sensational telegram hes its origin in Fl Psso, detailing outrsges in ChIhuahus against Americans. If the report Is true, there are grounds for R demand of immediate and substantial satisfaction, but from psst experience We are inclined to accept reports from that quarter with large grain of allow ance. Mere rumors have been imposed upon the credulous public as facts, and in some instances the alleged news from the gate city of the Rio Grande has lacked the thin foundation of even vague rumor, and Las been mHnufac tured from purely imaginary materials. The present story IS somewhat question able in its general features, and 1t re- quires the presentation of both sides to form an impartial opinion in the matter. We do not for moment believe
 he Mexican authorities to be sn organized league of bandits, such as this report practically charges them to be. There IS a crude but strong sense of justice in tbe laws and their enforce ment, of our sister re- public, and AmerIcans who venture un- der their jurisdiction must expect to be governed by them and Rcs up to their requirements. eveo though some person. al annoyance be experienced. We do not argue that an outrage has not been committed ID this instance. for we have only the statement contained in our dis patches upon the subject. but from the origin of the news, we do believe that the facts have been exaggerated and that careful Investigation will reveal a state of affairs that justify our posi- fian

Sale of the Olive.

The famous Olive mIne, at Olive camp, Pima district, has been partly sold and the money pad. It was owned by Messrs. Frank Allison, s. B. Corley and Jas. K. Brown, and the two former sold their undivided interests to Mir. Thomas L. Rodgers. of Boston, Mass, on the basis of sl50O0 for the whole mine.
 The Olive is one of the phenomenally rich mines of the camp, and has yield. ed, according to the smelter returns to date, s32, ,400. The shaft IS only IA feet deep, from winch point drifts have been made on the ledge and the shipping ore IS assorted from the lower grade and form a strata averaging a foot in Ridth. The quality of the ore may be judged by the fact that the value of the ore shipped has gradually increased from l30 ounces near the surface to 235 ounces from the last shipment, and 2l Der cent lead.
 Mir. Allison owns twelve other claims in the camp, a number of which are leased to parties who are now working A NhA ANhA bAO AAOAA OAAC bA AICtC claims was forwarded yesterday which sampled here 2i7 ounces m silver and 23 per cent lead. winch proves that the rich ore Is not confined altogether to one or two mines.
 MT. Rodgers, the purchaser, IS a son in.laT of Mir. Thomas Nickerson, the Boston millionaire railroad man, and the purchase is intended to supple ment the output If the oil San Xavier mine. upon which smelting works are to be st once erected. It IS probable that all the miners of that district will find market for their ores with the smelling company ani thereby save the transportation charges to the Colorado smeitsTs.
 The camp wIll now experience a gen. uine boom, and the fortunate owneTs of there will have sn easy road to sffiuence, from all of which this city will exact the tribute that naturally be longs to depOt-of supplies and a ship ping point.
