Placer Mining Notes.

A gentleman just in from the south
srn portion of the county brings news re-
garding the Placer mining of Mexico
as follows:
On the train he met two gentlemen
named Weiss and Floyd, who have
formed company for placer mining in
entral Sonora. They are enroute to
San Francisco, where they purchase
pumping machinery, for drawing water
to wash out the gold with.
They report that Is crude washers
are now working in little stream there,
and with splendid success. They take
out gold enough to average almost an
ounce day to the man. The intention
is not only to put in we'll machinery,
thus obtaining water, but also to dam
the stream above before the next rainy
reason, and draw il off as needed. The
company has succeeded in obtaining
sole concession of the property from
Cos. Torres, of Sonora, and expect to
realize handsomely from these late dis
coyeries.
The placer diggings in southern New
Mexico, not far from San Marcial. SOno-
ra. which have been known for many
years, but would not be worked on &C
count of lack of water, are now being a.
bandoned after having been worked
with profit by large number of miners
during the late rainy season. Many
viii return next July, to utilize the
water from the summer rains.

Eaboquivari Notes.

A. b. Sampson, who is IN from Babo-
quivari, brings in good reports from that
part Of the country.
The Octapus mine OF the group own
ned by Messrs. Sampson, Bent, Water
man and the Hudson estate, is doing
some fine producing, the ore being as
already stated by the CITIZEN, gold and
silver in the proportions, by value, of
six of gold to four of silver. The work
progresses well, being now IN a tunnel
$50 feet back. In the tunnel is a Wine
80 feet deep, which forms the main
shaft. including the depth from the
tunnel, the bottom of this shaft is 80
or therelbOuts from the surface. Gen
eral good ST tisfac5ion is expressed by
the owners of the property at its pro-
duction. All the ore that runs over
$50 to the ton is being kept for ship
meat, there being nov about two car
lnaIs Of the dump. Contracts for haul
il to Tucson are now concluding. Five
men are employed at the mine.
TIE ore not shipped IS being worked
al the new mill lately put in by the COM
pany, situated one mile fIom the Oc-
iapus, over another mine Of the group.
The mill is a new Une-concentratIng-
and The latest addition 10 il, another
concentration, was set up but two weeks
since 1t rs ali of the most improved
pattern. and ir addition to doing its
work most thoroughly and quickly, is
also the cheapest, costing about one
third the amount the old patterns did.
Coarser screens will be put in soon,
and 1T is not unlikely that more ma
chinery will also be added, Three men
are hired at the mill, making the force
SIX, the owners also being at work
This region Mr.. Sampson reports to
be the best, or one OF the best, watered
portions of Arizona. Al winter long an
arroyo there has carried water down,
and wells have never been without
plenty of water. The vel at the mill
is down only 90 feet, and is full to with
in Ii feet of the surface. There has
b7en no necessity at any time of run
ing the water back for use the second
time.
The late rains were fairly plentiful,
and grass has responded quickly. The
feed is now heavy and quite deep, and
cattle look fair and are improving.

From Neighboring Towns.

VIM. Reid has just returned from a
tour through the country, visiting Ben
son, Bisbee, Huachuca, Nogales
and Tombstone.
"The town of Arizona is Tucson--the
rest are not in it." said Mr.. Reid. "They
are all right, but Tucson beats any Of
them"
Bisbee is at present the town of the
sick. Attbat place 300 people are down
with la grippe, and those well enough
are nursing the balance. The hospital
is filled with patients.
Tombstone is very bright at present,
and frightening in mining business is
hoped FOR
At Huachuca there are stationed four
companies of troops, none Of which are
full.
Benson is lively and prosperous. Mr..
Reid visited it on Tuesday last, the 18th,
and good old st. Patrick could not be
more honored, had he been there to wit
ness the celebration himself. Green
prevailed. Everywhere the good old
color was flying. The new Benson
Brass Band was out on its initial parade,
and their broad sashes and flowing
plumes of the bright emerald added to
the general aspect OF verdancy. The
very trees were decorated with the hue.
A grand ball given in the evening, for
the benefit of the band-to purchase
unlforms-was a great success, the
large hall being we'll filed with the peo-
pie of Benson who danced, and those
who looked on, all showing their laud-
able desire to aid the band boys.
Nogales has a touch of la grippe,

STILL MASTER or. THE BEASTS

Lion Tanner Martin Recognized by the
Animals After Years of Absence.
When the celebrated animal tanner.
Martin, had retired TO private life one
day he took a notion that he would
visit his former large menagerie, which
he had not seen for five years. 1t was
In Brussels, and he started for that city
from his country seat near Rotterdam
At O'Clock, the time for feeding, he
entered the menagerie Being winter
time Martin was wrapped in a cloak.
He mingled with the crowd and waited
until the G:.iinals would receive their
food, for which they were waiting with
wild Impotence. While they were eat.
Ing he began to cough Suddenly the
animals paused in their treat and lis
tened, then broke into wild bowls Of
Joy and tore at the iron bars, so that
maLy OF the timid visitors fled from the
menagerie. The parrots, kangaroos.
pelicans and monkeys began to screech
and scream, the hyenas and the wolves
howlet.-in short, it was perfect bed

Then Martin stepped forward. With
a movement of his hand and with
his powerful voice he command

thing was quiet He swung himself
over the bar which separated the Wis.

There was a lion named Nero, who
had once bitten Martin in the hip. ana
had been severely punished for it. The
lion had an unrec9ncilable hatred foT

remained iii his place, lying still in the

Nogales Record.

Last week an English steamer took
French leave form the port of Rosalia
Lower California. She had some trouble
with the Boleo Mining Co. about pay
ment of freight. The captain demanded
his clearance papers which were refused.
He then took his ship to sea carrying
with it the ri exican custom house guard.
The captain OF the port attempted
to organize pursuing party to capture
the vessel but failed. JOHNNY Bull was
well armed.
BY the way Sta Rosalia is very good
placefor American miners and merchants
to keep away from. The Boleo Mining
Co. are absolute owners of everything
