THE MINERAL PRODUCT.

A report on the mineral products of the United States, by the division of mining statistic and technology, of which David T. Day is chief, gives the following summonary of the total value of mineral produced in the United States for 1888:
 The total value of the minerals pro- duced in 1888 was s591. .659,931. It is recognized that this is the sum of the values of substances taken in various stages of manufacture and hence not strictly comparable with each other; still it is the most valuable means for comparing the total products of differ ent years. The result is an increase of nearly s50,O00,OOO beyond the value of the product in 1887. In that year near ly every mineral industry showed an in crease, and hence an increased total was evident. But the fact that the increase was so very large was due to rather ex- ceptional conditions m few important industries. and it could not reasonably be expected that a similar combination of circumstances would result in even a larger total value for 1888. Neverthe- less the unprecedented stimulus given to the production of copper by an arti ficial price increased the total value of the product nearly s13,OOO,OO0, or nearly enough to offset the decline in the total value of pig iron. The other important factors in the increase were coal and the other fuels which followed the in- creased quantity of metals. With the anticipated decline of copper to the nor nal demand, decline in the total value of the product in 1889 will not be incon- sistent with the natural development of oar mineral resources.
 The total coinage value of gold was sS3175,OO0 and of silver s59, ,195,OOO. The total value of copper. produced was s33s33,954 and of lead s15,924,9 ,951.

Solid Cattlennan.

Yuma County IS losing several of her good citizens and good deal of tax able property, \ short time since, the supervisors of that county passed the no fence law, and made it operative in districts containing the wealthiest cattle men they have in the county, and the resalt is that these men are moving away, and the greater portion of them will make homes in Pima county. Prominent among them are MT. Chas. Baker and Mir. Jesus Redondo. The former gentleman will move his cattle into the Cabesa Prieta valley, on the northwestern edge of Pima county, where he struck an abundance of water at thirty feet. Mr. Redondo has pur- chased the old Fred Wall place, six miles south of the Gtlnsight Mine, and will move in with 1900 or 20O0 head of cattle. He is now in the city closing the purchase of the ranch. MT. Baker is also here. Ho stated i'll the CITIZEN office this morning that he paid more taxes in Yuma county than was paid by the entfne residents of Mohawk valley, where his ranch was situated, and as Mir. Rodondo pays even more than he does it is easily to be seen that Pima county has made a winning on some of Yamas' good substantial citizens. MT. Redon6o is an uncle of Mrs. Dr. Geo. Martin. f.

A PETITION has been addressed to the Hon. Board of Supervisors of Pinal County, by the taxpayers of that county, praying that the necessary steps be taken towards ''bonding the county of Pinal for s20,OOO or S30,OO0, or such sum as the population and property valuation may empower you, under the laws of the Territory of Arizona, for the purpose of building county court house and iail." We have no intimation what the supervisors will do in the premises, but for our part We think the movement most excellent one. The petition further states that considering the rent now paid, "the increased expenditure per annum would not amount to more than 5000 or $500" A mere bagatelle when the wealth and financial strength of the county is taken into effect. PinaI County is strong in everything that tends to make country rich and people great. Her mineral resources are nowhere ex
 celied, and her agricultural possibilities surpassed by no spot on the wide Pacific Coast. What, then, is there to hinder her from having one of the finest public buildings in the territory? Already Florence, her Capital, is the proud pos sessor of public school building that can put to shame many older and more pretentious towns. 4 good County Court House would join hand with the school house and Gila river bridge, and be big advertising card for the county.

An Indolent Organ.

: When the liver is indolent, as it must necessarily be when it fails to secrete the bile in sufficient quantities to meet the requirements of digestion and evacu- ation, it should be set at work with Hos tstter's Stomach Bitters. The health ful stimulus to activity imparted by this incomparable alterative, speedily eyinces itself in a departure of the un- comfortable sensations in the right side; the nausea; fur upon the tongue; indigestion, and sick headache conse- quent upon inactivity of the liver and the diversion of the bile from its proper channel. Irregularity of the bowels is always and painlessly reformed by the corrective indicated, which is infinitely to be preferred, both because it is safe and more efficacious, to blue pill, calo- mel and drenching purgatives of every class. It cures and prevents fever and ague, and rheumatism.

Said committee will meet at St. Paul, August 1st, next, and on that date will commence its tour of field in- vestigation. It will be accompanied by Director Powell of the United States Geological Survey, and by an engineer expert assigned to its service. N
 The committee desires the active CO., operation of the newspapers published within the dry area-that is, west of the Tooth meridian of west longitude the work of arousing public attention to the importance of this great subject. It es- pecially asks for their aid in the gather ing of data and the collection of facts. 1t IS unnecessary to recapitulate to you what those facts are, but their eollec- tlon will be a matter of essential service in laying the. foundation of intelligent opinions for legislative and other action in the future. Each district and section should endeavor to secure as full a pre- sentation of its own conditions as may be practicable.
 It will prove of vaiue to the commit tees work if copies of any publication you may make are sent to the committee. Feeling assured that you comprehend the importance of this investigation, and asking, therefore, your active aid, in such ways as your Judgment determines, the committee leaves the matter with you.

THE heart of the Pioneer is always open to the misfortunes of his fellow man. Circumstances attendant upon the settlement of new county softens down the harder clements in human na- ture and makes it more readily suscep- tible to the vail of distress. The woes of an unfortunate brother never appeal ed to pioneer in vain, and when the news of the disaster at Johnstown came, when almost whole city was engulfed beneath the resistless flood, and the waste the happy homes of Seattle, the pioneers of Arizona gathered at their cry and said "we must do something" The society, although not rich, took hundred dollars from its own slender purse, appointed $eommittee of repre- tative men to wait upon the citizens and solicit aid. The response was most gen erous and in the short space of a few hours time quite goodly sum of money had been raised and still the good work goes on, and in the end a much larger amount is promised. There is no one among us who cannot contribute little and thus help those who are homeless, penniless, and less fortunate than our selves. When the committee calls to see you do not complain of hard times, but be as generous as you can, and no man will be poorer for his contribution.

Gilbert Webb's attorney struggled hard to held there the preliminary steps were a reduction of bail but being unable to move the commis sioner sued out writ of Habeas Corpus Last night, took it before Judge Barnes and had the bail reduced to s10,OO0, the Judge held that amount to be amply sufficient to insure MT. Webb's attendance in court when called for trial.

Learning How to Dance.
"What class of people learn the art C

What class of people learn the art of dancing quickest7"
 Experience has taught us that the na- tive American learns as quickly as any nationality. ls seems to come natural to the American child to dance, though a great many of the pupils of all academies are of other nationalities. The greatest difficulty we have is with those who have acquired a certain amount of facility at dancing and come here to have that easy suppleness and graceful motion they have observed in others when in the ballroom In most cases we have to teach these peo- pie how not to dance. They don't dance correctly, and we have to break them out of the way of their errors before wo begin with our system
 More particularly is this noticeable in foreigners If an Englishman comes to take lessons in the American style of dancing. technically known as the glide. the difficulty he experiences is to keep his feet on the floor, eradicate the natural disposition he has to hop up and down like the other importation from the queens dominion, the festive sparrow. The German finds the greatest difficulty in restraining himself from breaking out into sort of Lauterbach style. and so on with tho Frenchman. who has predispO- sision for a light. springy motion, alto gether dissimilar to the willowy, graceful motion of the true American waltzer.

Arctic Ice Company.

The prices for ice in the east and the west have advanced 9 to 90 per cent and consumers are made to pay dearly for the mild winter just past. Tucson has a never-failing supply of ice, and a reliable company, whose desire is to ob- lige the customers, and serve it at req sonable prices.
 Ice is cheaper in Tucson to-day than in any other city of Arizona. To fam flies it is one half cent per pound cheap ar than at Phenix and one and one-half cent cheaper than at Tombstone.
 Patronize this home industry, have pure drinking water, and cold refrigera- tors. To those executing contracts the same price will be maintained during the season.

When Mrs Fowler, of Sz7 Ellis street. stopped inr at leading city druggists to ask what effect 'The California Remedy" Joy'sVegetable Sarsaparilla,. would have in cases of dyspepsia and sick head aches, she was assured it would relieve both- She was so incredulous that the druggist gave her bottle, not to be paid for unless it effected cure The following is the convincing conclusion and tells its own story.
