]. II. Rittenhouse, c. f., Mining Engi-
neer, Of Scranton, Pa, has known the
twelve mines of the Tortiita Gold and
Silver Mining Co., since 1850, having
spent good portion Of that and the fol-
lowing year a: these mines. In a letter
to the President of the company, Mr..
Rittenhouse says Il have been in good
many mining camps in Colorado, New
Mexico and Arizona, and never saw any
better indications on the surface or ore
in such quantity and ofsuch high grade
anywhere as in the Tortilita Camp. To
partcularize The Desert Mine is large
vein averaging about to 10 feet thick,
in one place about 30 feet. Ore taken
from it in development assayed from 80
to 40 ounces silver per ton, per 10O-ton
lot, ] think the ore is there in quantity
and that 10 or 20 stamp mill could be
kept busy from it alone. The formation
is about the same as the Benton. The
other mines near the Desert were devel.
oped to a more or less extent by several
shafts sunk upon the incline, showing
well defined walls and ore about same
grade as the Desert The Eagle is thor
oughly defined and with Joid for that
country groupings. Ore carries more
gold than silver, about $500 of the for
mer, and $500 of the latter, | think
As for the Jesse Benton and Tom Ben,
ton. l think the Jesse Benton is the
bonanza of the camp. The average o.
the bulk of the ore taken from it is 20 tC
70 ounces ofsilyer; little gold occasion
ally. As this ore was the best more at
tention is paid to it and more work done
upon it. II was thoroughly proved for q
length of about POO feet twelve hun
dred) along the claim and the ore found
about the same in all parts. | believe
the Benton will prove itself to be one Of
the richest mines in Arizona. All indi-
cations point that way"
A limited number Of the preferred di-
vidend shares of the stock of the com
pany owning these mines are offered for
sale at 50 per share. Address Jos. ii.

Excitement in Texas.

Great excitement has been caused in
the vicinity Of Paris, Tex, by the re-
markable recovery of Mr.. J. +. Corley,
who was so helpless he could not turn in
bed, or raise his head everybody said he
was dying of Consumption. A trial bot
tie of DR.. Kings New Discovery was sent
him. Finding relief, he bought large
bottle and box of DR.. Kings New Life
Pills; by the time he bad taken two box
es of Pills and two bottles of the Discov-
cry. he was well and had gained in flesh
thirty-six pounds. Trial Bottles of this

FRENCH SATEENS.

The new ones are here. Not
the highest cost, 81 cents a

makers call them WaRa-
makers, for we control this
market on them.
This is the hub of the Sateen
trade. You may get a notion
from the fact that the 10000
yards in store to-day are only
one-fourth of a single order.

In POLITICS there is always an
undercurrent of talk showing how
the offices are to be distributed and
the men to be elected. As the time
for nominating men for the differ
ent offices, this current becomes
stronger and the smaller fry are
allowed to take hand, as it were,
in assisting to nominate. These
RINGERS are wonderful helps to the
deep-water wire-pullers. They don't
often get an office, but generally get
part of the salary of the men they
assist to elect. There is nothing
wrong with these men, morally, but
politically their ways are various
Politicians must have them. They
come high, but any Office that is
worth having is generally worth
spending few dollars on.
At this date there are at least half
a dozen men offering their time and
services to become candidates for
the Democratic party of this state
for Sheriff. All these men who are
seeking this lucrative position, are
fully qualified to fill the office. Only
one of this number can secure the
nomination. How then is the right
man to be secured-the one that will
carry full vote? Now comes the
fine work of the politicians. The
field is looked over and the
names of candidates discussed; how
this man will run; what are the
chances of that man, and finally
settles on one that will suit theil
personal interest, probably, best. OF
course, this is only an outline OF
the affair. There are several month.
to pass before the result will be
known, but at the same time candi
dates must work, honestly to secure
their nomination.
There are other aspiring office
seekers who are laboring to secur,
coveted positions, but it is generally
understood that but few men out
side of Wilmington will secure any
nomination.

which imparts the requisite amount OF

seem to be as hard to drive out of
that city as are the illicit whiskey
peddlers in Cecil county. The war
against the former, however, is still

means were used against the "trav-

then better state of things would

to reduce our Immense stock of

Owing to the open mild winter
we have had, we find our stock
in this particular line very
heavy for the month of January.
And as we contemplate making
alterations in building on or
about March LIST 1888 we must
reduce our stock before that time
And to do this we have marked
all the above goods down to net

This may be just the one you
are looking for and the one that
will fit you.

of odd pants in all Wool goods

Reduces Quarterly Dividends.
BOSTON. Mass, April 4.-The board Of
directors of the Atohison, Topeka and
Santa Fe railroad at q meeting yester-
day, voted to reduce the rate of dividend
paid by the company from to per
cent per annum, and the quarterly divi-
dend Of II per cent, was accordingly de-
olsred payable May Is. This action,
says one OF the directors, was not
taken through the necessities OF the
company, but 1t is considered wise and
conservative measure, in view OF the
rate war and strikes now so prominent
feature of the western railroads. The
officials here are noncommittal on the
report from Kansas City that the Atchi-
son had promised its employees that no
Chicago, Burlington and Quincy oars
would be handled, and state that
the question must be left to the western
officials. who are upon the scene Of &C.
ton. The management here express a
desire to handle traffic from all sources

elusive. Ii has been decided to open

tenn from Kansas City to Chicago May

The Strikers Boycott Raised.


CHICAGO, April 4.-The final result OF
the meetings of employees of the vari-
GUS railroads In this city, which began
yesterday afternoon and lasted until a
late hour last night, is announced this
morning in declaring that the boycott OF
the Quincy cars has permanently been
raised, and that henceforth the contest
will be co mined strictly to the 20" sys-
TEN. This raising of the boycott
means that all the strikes on, ex-
cept the Quincy, are to stop
forth with and that all those which were
imminent, to be averted and other 70 ads
are absolved from the requirement of
neuranlity, and violence is to be dis.
coutenanced according to the we'll
known policy Of the brotherhood Of loco =
motive engineers. The arrangement
agreed upon, it is stated, is
directly due to the exertions of Chief
Arthur, Grand-master Sargent, CIR and
Master Monaghan OF the switchmen,
Mayor Roche and Mark Crawford, also
representing the switchmen. The final
decision was fastened by a mass meet
ing held with closed doors last evening,
and which was addressed by General
Manager Jeffry of the Illinois Central
road. Att later meeting OF men action of
mass meeting was ratified and the en-
ployes Of each road were instructed
to notify their employers and be ready
to report for duty everywhere, except
at the Burlington yards.
