Tho PenitentiarY.

The penitentiary at Yuma, Arizona, has had 63l convicts committed for confinement since it's establishment, of which there are still remaining 134. Seven are incarcerated for life; two for 30 years each; eight for 9 years; 3 for 20years four for 15 years; three for 12 years one for II, and fourteen for ten years. Twenty-seven are com mittad for terms ranging between 10 and years, and twenty-eight from 5 to ? years. The remainder have from 2 years to 4 months to serve.
 As in all other prisons there are con fined great number who would, or say they would, make better citizens. if pardons wero granted them now. Many of them are there for crimes that they are incapable of committing when not under the influence of in- toxicants, and are no more to blame than those who filled them up with ar dent spirits. Some are clearly the l creatures of circumstances, and are paying the penalty of evil associations. A few are here, no doubt, on account of their resemblance to criminals Some are the victims of evil schemes concocted by designing enemies, while others are Simon-pure scalawags and discontented when they have theil freedom A few have plead guilty tC minor ofienses to escape greater punish ment fer graver crimes, and one claims to have been scared into the prison. few admit of crookedness from birth and never think of reformation, whil

MINING MATTERS.
4 Crisis Approaching in the Tombstone
 District--Other Sections Developing.

There is a satisfaction in knowing that a crisis is approaching in Tomb stones history-that longed for period when something will have to be done toward pumping out the water, or virtual abandonment of the mines that are the big producers of the camp, says the Prospector. There is no dis guising this fact even on the part ot the owners themselves.
 The Contention folks are putting up S2O,O00 per year to keep their works and mine in shape. This has been matter of fact during the three past years, and that company has expressed a tiat-footed fiat that they will not continue to pay out money any more without some resulting benefits.
 The Grand Central company are feeling in the same mood as regards their properties, which will soon be m shape to hang up unless deep work ing proposition is made and accepted.
 TOMBSTONE DISTRICT
 In Tombstone district and vicinity very little has been done of import ance.
 The Comet is shipping no ore at present, but sinking IS progressing rapidly.
 The Herschell is producing good ore in the north end.
 Ritter struck very rich pocket dur ing the week in the Sunset. Some ot the ore that he brought in Is half metal.
 A contract was about to be closed with the Sterling mill for the working of 5000 tons of ore from Turquoise dis trict. It is understood now, however, that the deal was not consummated.
 THE TOTAL WRECK.
 The Tucson Citizen furnishes the following information:
 The principal mines ot this district are the Total Wreck mine, the Red Rock, the Justice, the Denver and the Prosperity, all of which have been pro ducers of the paying ores.
 The first mine discovered in this district was the Justice mine, some time in 1S76 This mine has been worked monthly on tribute by leases, who have always derived large profit from their leases.
 Next in prominence was discovered the Total Wreck mine This mine has been large producer of silver, yield ing about three hundred thousand dollars in bullion. This mine follow ing the vein has been worked to a depth of $50 feet. At this, the lowest depth, the ledge is over fifty feet il width but of low grade.
 Latterly, during October and No vember of 1889, work has been done on hitherto undeveloped part of the mine, between the $50 foot level and 45O foot. This work has developed ores richer than any yet discovered in the mine, several carloads of which have been shipped to Fl Paso, Texas All familiar with the Total Wreck mine pronounce it valuable property and cannot understand why it is not continuously worked.
 There is one of the best mills in the Territory, built right at the mine, be longing to this property, two steam l hnistinp works and extansira- nunnn I ing machinery 10 supply water to hiih and mine. The supply of water IS ln exhaustible. Every appliance for tho economical working ot the mine anC mill is attached to this valuable prop erty.

Still Going Down.

MT. M. o. DeMars, is in the city from the Comobabi mountains, where he has been engaged in boring we'll for the Cababi Mining Company since last August. Some of the rock he has passed through has been almost inn penetrable, and at times day after day would go by when the drill would scarcely cut six inches in twenty-four hours. He encountered water at 8 depth of little over three hundred feet, which has come into the hole so fast that he could not draw 1t out of the way, consequently for the last three hundred feet the force of the drill has been more or less broken by the presence of water in the hole. He is now down 630 feet, and has en- countered an entirely different forma- ton of rock, which is comparatively soft, and the progress now being made is at the rate of and 10 feet a day His contact is to secure a supply oi water for Acton mill and the needs af tlsescamp, or sink l 200 feet.

THE ARID DISTRICT.
Its Wonderous Size and FertiIity--Its Possibilities.
 fphaoiv Go7a4ta


 Few of us ever consider that the larger portion of the arabic surface of the United States is doomed to com parative sterility, unless brought under systematic and permanent irrigation. West of the Tooth merldian of longi- tude. almost to the shores of the Pacif- lc ocean and from our southern to our northern boundary, stretches vast of land rich in every element of fertility poses of agriculture in it's present con dition. But while this immense tract is arid ill it's climate, and for all prac- tical purposes 1t may be said to be absolutely rainless, yet there flows across or beneath its surface the water shed of 8 vast and intricate range of mountains, snow clad during a part or the whole of the year, and which divides it into portions.
 It needs but to capture this water and spread 1t over the surface to ;n- sure abundant and certain harvests. It may surprise a farmer, accustomed to depend upon the changeful seasons ot the eastern part of the country, to learn that upon these arid lands there may be grown with the greatest cer- tainty luxurious crops of fruits, grass, grain or roots, that in this climate the farmer who has brought the waters beneath his control, has secured lit erally and naturally the fulfillment of the promise that "seed time and har- vest should never more fail," while he himself enjoys it only in part and oc- casionally fails completely to realize it. But such is a fact, for drouth and aridity are entirely subjugated by means of irrigation.
 Seed time and harvest are only sure where irrigation is systematically used by the cultivator.
 The fact that irrigation insures be- yond all question certain return for labor and money expended will un- doubtediy give new impetus to the settlement of lands upon the plains and great valleys as soon as those in other sections who are now occasionally brought to the verge of ruin by the failure of their crops can be brought to understand it's cheapness, it's ease of application and certainty of crops secured by it's use.
 The numerous settlements that have been made in Arizona, Califor- mia, Utah, Colorado, Wyoming and other localities, and the success which has attended these pioneer efforts, in spite of the drawbacks, incidents to the want of knowledge of the pccu- liarities of the climate and the soil, and inexperience in the modes of irri- l gation, will tend greatly to attract men toward new enterprises in this direction Tle evident advantages ol a system of agriculture, in which WA ter can Ha fss to the fields at will and densa1eSI4e {sIr | selSle and un- certaia 9isad, will Riss RSs s2S Has| ,s s'|1 2 B sss, Isss, to psfiz 5eilf tere E; 65 drouti or d8ss T iz a.; I E 'sl3I;; as trustwoftl1 aud eEs<< ;i1az [ssT can be procured, thou sapfis ol aez< i will avail them of the ban6flt Is 6{ | to thea by cheap, fertile se71 o]<7 I skies, genial climate and water 3o5l perfect control

FL PLoMo MINES.
A rramway to be Hullt---The a1ln.


 Judge Vanderlip, of fCrittenden, was in Tucson the other day and in a con versation with a reporter of the Cifi- zen spoke of the Fl Plomo mines and mill and their management as follows ::
 "This group of mines, situated in the Salero district, has within the past year, been developed and put in oper- ation and bids fair to become an enter prise that will do much towards at tracing attention to the rich mineral deposits of southern Pima. The con centrating mill which was started up two months ago has a capacity of 10 tons every twenty-four hours. The mill has been ia operation a sufficient length of time to demonstrate tine high quality of ore, and adaptability of the machinery for it's reduction, and the only trouble that has been encounter ed was in getting the ore transported from the mines to the mill, distance of eleven miles. On this account the mill was temporarily shut down few days ago, and the company have de- cided to

BUILD A TRAMwAY

to the mines, at an estimated cost of $40, 1000, including telephone connec- tions. Col. John Weir will go East in a few days to perfect arrangements for the building of the tramway, which will be s miles long, thereby shorten ing the distance more than three miles. Parties have already agreed to take the contract for this work and guaran- tee it's completion in 50 days from commencement. The elevation from the mill to the mine is HOO feet. The concentrating mill is in charge of Mir. w. w. Trask, and is run under the superintendency of Capt. Allen, who is man of large experience in hand ling machinery of this kind and who is the principal inventor of the pre- cess used. An idea of the perfect ar engagements at the mill may be gained from the fact that only men are enl- ployed, in handling the ore, which in cludes shipping the concentrates,

SIXTY MEN

are employed at the mines, who are able to extract an amount of ore greatly in excess of the requirements of the mill there now being about g. 900 tons of ore on the dump. In the various tunnel, shafts, drifts, etc., in the Fl Plomo group of mines ore is shown, ready for extraction, a distance of 4500 feet, and the amount LOW in sight is estimated to be sufficient to run the mill nearly one year. About one third of the ore is of a grade high enough to require no sorting, and is shipped directly, being almost pure metal. Steam hoists will be erected at the two prominent shafts, which are now 100 and 150 feet deep re- spectiyely. The mines, proper, are under the foremanship of Mir. Stahl. Mining men will be able to correctly approximate the

Looking For Lead Ores.

MT. c. 0. Fitzgerald, manager of the Fl Paso Smelling Company, left this morning, accompanied by MT. O'Brien, for the vicinity of Dudleyville to exr anime the "79" mine. MT. Fitzgerald has been travelling for three months searching for lead ores to be used as fuxing for his smelter at -Paso, but has had poor success in f--ding desir- able property. Under the present rul- ings of the treasury department Mex;- can lead ores, which have been freely used by the Fl Paso smelters in the past, are practically shut out. in all cases where the value of lead predomi- mates in the ores duty is imposed of $35 per ton. He says that the freights charged by railroads, both on this and the other side of the Mexican line are against the propositions of Fl Paso, and but little is beng done.
 If reduction of freight could be secured he has no doubt that large amount of ore would go to his smelter from Arizona. At present his com- pany is working mines in the Turquoise district near Tombstone, from which about 50 tons per day are shipped.
 MT. Fitzgerald will remain in the Saddle mountain district several days, and hopes to find something there that will justify him in making a deal- Citizen.
