About Drinking.

Dr. G. E. Goodfellow, the well known Tombstone physician. and editor of the Sonora earthquakes, writes as follows in the Tombstone Epitaph:
 The British Medical Association has been making inquiry into the effects of alcohol upon longevity, and the distin- guished commission appointed to study the question has reported observations upon 4,234 deaths, divided into five class es:
 l. Total abstainers.
 2. Habitual temperate drinkers-those who consume moderate amount of al cohol liquors.
 8 Careless drinkers-those who do not mean to get drunk, but are simply imprudent drinkers.
 4. Free and habitual drinkers
 5. Decidely in temperate drinkers-sots.
 In each of these classes the average age reached is as follows:
 First class, 51 years p days; second, 63 years 13 days; third, 59 years 67 days; fourth, 57 years 59 days; fifth, 53 years 3 days.
 From this we see, that all intelligent persons have had reason heretofore to believe, that by taking advantages of creative benefcence our days may be long in the land" Also, that the long, cared, pestiferous prohibitionist is en- titled to no other place than that which he now occupies-in the soup. l believe I shall lengthen my days.

OUR ORANGE BELT.
Has no Superior in the Union-This is
 Being Proven.
Phenix Gazette.

The disposition and determination of the men of this valley, to plant more fruit trees and vines, is highly commend able, both as business proposition, and as an enterprise in developing the Salt River valley. The planting of a few thousand increased acres means long stride in the advancement of this valley, and we were incredibly informed yester- day, that a proposition is now under advise ment of the planting of four sections in the high grade fruits.
 The western fruits have earned for themselves, place in the markets of the east that cannot be supplied from any other source. The field for the success ful production of the deciduous fruit is Icy nature limited in a great measure to the country west of the Rocky Noun tains.
 Heretofore California has reaped the rewards of the fruit industries, without any ono to call for a division of the prof its. The result has been, that her fruit growers have amassed enormous fortunes and the values of her acres have advanc- ed to phenomenal figure.
 | It has been the cry by many, for the last four or five years, that the fruit in- | dustry would be over done, but time has proved the fallacy of this fear. With the increased acreage planted and the con sequent increased yield of raisins, plums, oranges, almonds and in fact, all kinds of fruits and nuts, a market has opened that consumes the entire yearly product
 But the time has come when California can no longer stand out in bold relief as the only source of supply. Inside of two years the Salt River valley will be ship ping her oranges to parts east of the Rockies. We have thousands of acres of land adjacent to the foot hills, that pos sess all the essential qualities, for the production of the orange the lemon, and the olive, and no sooner will their pro- duets command place in the markets of the day, than their true value will be appreciated.
 Orange land in Riverside, and other favored localities, have continued to increase in value. till to- day, they are marketable at the fabulous figure oi 5000 per acre. yet no better or more thorough orange land, lies out doors, than thousands upon thousands of acres of land adjacent to the Arizona canal, and the fact of the people demonstrating the capabilities of this soil and its adaptabil ity to orange growing, will, inside of two years place this land side by side in the markets of the world with California's best.

SONORA MINES.
Their Competition With Arizona Mining
 Properties on the Wane.
Tucson Citizen .

J. A. Middlemas, a practical mining man, was in the city yesterday, en route from Sonora to Arivaca.
 Mir. Middlemas has been following his profession in Sonora, having bonded the El Plomo mine 45 miles due southwest of Sasabe, on the line, in connection with his partners, Messrs. Chas. Spracher and Sol. Johnson, of Dr. Mueller of Altar it's owner.
 The Fl Plomo is a good property, con taining concentrating gold ore, and some lead, which returns an average of SS200 to the ton in concentrates, in taking five tons of ore to make one of concentrates. Mr. Middlemas and his partner owing to various untoward circumstances have abandoned the mine, and their action will not seem to be strange when all things in connection with mining in Mex leo are considered.
 Mexico is thriftless country with de- mand for the mining output, turning the attention of its mine owners, more es- pecially those of the northern portion, to the United States for disposition of its output. Much of it's ore contains | considerable quantities of lead, and the recent duty placed on that article by Mexico of $50 per ton on all ores con taining the metal has put damper on Mexican mining properties there causing many to be abandoned.
 Mir. Middlemas states that Fl Plomo and plenty of other mining propositions would, if in Arizona be of com parative great value, but the condition | of lead market causes much mining. idle ness there. Another and perhaps the | great bindrance to the business there ! ta tho 1ffEnfrlfxr of knvNi labor The poorer class of Mexicans is the only available help in mines and he makes the mine owner, more particularly the enterprising American, wish tha Mexican labor had never killed any O its valuable time in northern Mexico mines. The Mexican miner (?) Is character. He is shiftless; cares no enough for the attainment of his wishe to pluckily acquire them; is easily con tented as he is too lazy to do anything that is not easy; wants his siesta, tamales frijoles, and occasionally drop or two o tiswin, or 'mescal; is very jealou for his race, resenting all association in his work with American labor; lack ''savey" in his labors, never having hi head save bis hands, even when toilinS faithfully enough doing really little t make his work count. The average o wages paid the Mexican miner in Mexico is Sl.50 day; and the American mine there is paid S3 day, and is then il much demand.
 By the removal of the injurious Mex ican competition Arizona will be benefit co by the greater demand for mines con taining lead ores and will be given an other great impetus. Her competition with the peon labor of Mexico has beel hard and unsuccessful one, and that has been effectually barred out, it's great CT prosperity must accrue.

MT. Huntington's Prediction.

One Saturday afternoon in the summer of 1881 c. P. Huntington invited rep resen tative of the Richmond {Va.) State to run down to Old Point with him. In the party were ex-Governor Stanford now United States Senator, and Charles Crocker. another California millionaire
 These three men owned three-f -fourths of the Chesapeake and Ohio and the Pa ci6c system. On Sunday the party drove over to Newport News. "This," said MT Huntington, lis to be the great seaport of America. The products of the Pacific of the middle West and of the South. west will have to come here for reship ment"
 How long do you think it will be be fore Newport News is large city?"
 Well, we are going to develop the place gradually but solidly." the great railroad millionaire replied. But I car tell you this,' he said, .'by 1890 Newport News will have 12.000 or 15,000 inhabi tants, including a number of highly paic workmen. This whole coast, from New port News to Old Point, will be a scene of busy life"
 MT. Huntington then sketched off his plans, which are now being fully carried out He has spent something like $5, 100000 in his shipyards alone Newport News and Hampton have now at least 15,000 inhabitants, and will have a popu lation of 50,000 in less than two years The great shipyards, the finest and most extensive in the United States, will em ploy 5000 men. representing 30000 popu lation.-The State, Richmond, Va.
