THE NEW PAPER.

The first number of the Times,
 the new paper at Yuma, has ar
 rived at the CITIZEN office, and is full to | the brim with interesting news and in | formation about Yuma county The
 paper is under the editorial and business
 management of MT. E. J. Trippel, who | is a brilliant writer. He states that the
 Times will be "strickly independent in the sense that it proposes to state the
 truth at all times.d The paper is dated January 1st and contains the Associat-
 ed Press reports of Dec. 31, which is a
 new departure for a weekly paper Tn | this section. The new enterprise starts
 out with a liberal amount of advertising
 patronage, the material is all new, and | the mechanical get up Of the paper is
 very neat and skillful.
 The following items are taken from its columns:
 The convicts in the Territorial prison were treated to an excellent dinner on New Years.
 The recent rams are clothing the val | leys and hills in vestments of green. The cattle men are consequently jubi- lant.
 Many sufferers from bronchial and pulmonary diseases, from California and other States are so-journing in town. All attest to improving health wrought by our perfect winter climate.
 The Cargo Muchacho mine is keeping the 15-stamp mill in operation day and | night. The ledge is eighteen feet across and the working assays for its entire width averaging Sl4 per ton in gold. l The mine never looked better in its en- l tire history.
 We learn from Hon. A. C.. Hubbard that excellent ore is being taken from the Bonanza mines at the Harqua Hala. The ore has for long time averaged from S15 to S30 to the ton in gold, as proven by actual working tests at the reduction works. The Centennial mill is optrating steadily with abundant fur ther supplies at hand.
 Judge G. A. Ringwald is the happy possesser of a feline curiosity. This particular tabby is nearly thirty years of age and, therefore, so far as his spe- cies is concerned. the oldest inhabitant n the Territory. He is also blind, deaf and dumb, and otherwise eminently de- crepit. The animal, however. finds his way about with ease, through the sense of smell, despite his several little mfr mites. Florence, for years gloted over her tobacco chewing dog but we defy her to produce a cat that can hold a candle to this one.
 NOTED PRoSPECTOR. Ed. Scheiff1in, the famous aiscoverer of the renowned mbstone mines, is prospecting in this county. After a successful inspection of the Papago country, he visited the Mohawk and Pinto mountains, but finding water scarce was forced for the nounce to abandon further research in those local ities. Subsequently, he, in company with companion, arrived at the ranch of Hon. Cole Saunders, where they were hospitably entertained by Supt. E.. B. Wagy. The gentlemen then departed for Agua Caliente with the intention of proceeding towards the Harqua Halas, and from thence prospecting westwards to the Colorado river. Northern Yuma is highly mineralized and with the ben eft of life times experience, there is little doubt that MT. Sheiffiin will suc- ceed ln making valuable. e.dlscoverles.
 GOOD WORK.
 The splendid work of the government employees, in charge of the Indian school, at the Fort Yuma Agency, as developed during the past few years, is bearing good fruit. The other day the children, numbering ninety boys and girls, passed through the streets on a sight seeing expedition. The procession was orderly with every pupil in his pro- per place, and the ht,intelligentf faces plainly indicated lively appreciation of the pleasure attending their outing. The improvement visible in their neatly kept garments and general cleanliness is in direct contrast with the disgusting semi-nudity sf three years back. The transformation wrought by the Super intendent and her assistants is credita- ble in the highest degree.
