There are mysteries about this silver
question that no man seems to be able
to get to the bottom of. Silver has the
queer habit OF doing the queerest things
In the queerest ways imaginable. Not
long since the financial prophets were
telling us that the expansion of silver
coinage would food this country with
foreign silver. Well, coinage was ex-
panded to an extent that made the
mono-metalists lift up their hands in
holy horror and now we are told that
the United States has become an ex-
porter of silver and that in the month of
August last 3,149,4S ounces left the
country, this being the largest shipment
in any one month since January, 1890,
when the silver agitation first began to
effect the market.

stole His Quicksilver.

The Portland Oreqonidn of November
18th contains an account of the break
ing up of band of counterfeiters and
stage-robbers, which has been operating
on the border between Oregon and Cali
fornia, by the arrest of George Jones,
the last of the gang The mention of
Tom Miles in connection with the ar
rest recalls to the mind of w. D.
Fletcher an experience he had with this
same gang-which has been in existence
many years-in the northern part of the
Laussen country, Northern California,
in 1870, where Mr.. Fletcher was then
experimenting mine and mill. Un-
der the floor of the shanty used as the
company's office he hid eleven tanks of
quicksilver, then valued at $3.50 a
pound, each tank weighing 100 pounds.
The hiding place became known to the
gang and Miles, their leader, engineered
scheme to steal it, which was success
fully carried into effect. The losers
kept quiet and succeeded in finding out
all about the robbery and recovering the
quicksilver, six tanks being found
buried behind Miles house, four in a
creek bottom, and the last one under
meath a culvert. Three of the gang i'm
plicated in the robbery were convicted,
but Miles, who was very clever gentle
man and succeeded in covering his own
trail, escaped punishment. Many de-
predations have been committed by this
old organization of law breakers.

Mr.. Jas. Bowyer. of the Salero mines,

we are moving right along. We arc at
present shipping about four carloads of
first-class ore per month, and are on the
eve of putting up hosting works. We
propose to sink down 800 feet and run
leyels to prospect. Have now reached a
depth of 100 feet and have an average of
an Is inch ledge. There is an immense
amount OF second grade ore which will
be stored on the dump for the present.
Our company is also putting up a tram
way from the mine down to the foot of
Goldtree hill. AS soon as that is COM
pleted the concentrating mill will be
started and we will commence the ship
ping of concentrates. The past year we
have done much development in the way
of sinking shafts, running drifts, and
stopping ore. After paying the expenses
of developing we have left neat divi-
dend from the shipment of first class
ores. Only 10 men are at work now but
when the hosting orks are up we ex-
pect to put on some sixty men.

THE SAGINAW.
A Description of the Plant and Other
Items,

The new mid and concentrating plant
on the Saginaw mine, nine miles south
of Tucson, started up yesterday on what
promises to be (. most successful cam
paign. Inasmuch as all the elements OF
success exists in the mine and mill.
The plant is 515 foot Huntington
nil, and Will crush % tons of the Sagi-
nav ore, which is well impregnated with
metal, and is Unstable in a hours.
IL is the intention of the managers TO
crush their free ore first, and as they
have between $500 and 5000 tons OF
that class of ore on the dumps and great
bodies of it in sight in the mine, the
run will be long one, and only some
accident to the machinery can hinder
or delay operations.
Ia addition to the anna gamation with
In the centrifugal mill, and over the
copper sluice plates the tallings will
be run over three "Gilt-Edge" concen-
traitors which have asplendid reputation

in this case.
There is sufficient boiler capacity for
hosting works and steam for Hooker
sinking pump, both o. which will be
put in place in the near future. The
mill is erected upon the mine and sufn-
Gent water can be obtained from the
mine to run the mill. This is happy
solution OF a problem as the Saginaw
country used to be considered quite a
dry section until this flow of water was
struck in the saginaw mine.
The mill is inclosed In handsome
building with an iron roof,
and every thing seems to have been put
up to last.
Mr.. Chas. f. Connell is in charge OF
of the mine and mill, but Mr.. Young,
the president of the company and MIR.
the Secretary and treasurer,
are here from Burlington, Iowa, to see the
the mill start up, and both affable and
agreeable gentlemen, and are in dead
earnest to do everything to make their
mine and mill complete success.
The Saginaw mines will pay in Tucson
about $4,000 per month, and prove an
important financial factor.

San Pedro Notes.

". Il. Wheaton, of the Redington
district of the San Pedro valley, drove
in yesterday on a business trip.
MIR. Wheaton reports the agricultural
prospects of the central San Pedro to
be good, with some damage from the
late freshet, though nothing irreparable.
No building-or almest ncne-were
damaged through there, and crops of
wheat and barley were somewhat washed
down or buried in detritus.
The corn crop of the coming season
will be the heaviest ever grown in the
San Pedro valley, as all the land origin
ally intended for corn will be put IN to
that crop in addition to all flooded
lands where the wheat and barley crops
were injured.
Mammoth is the market for the San
Pedro grain crops, and prices range
very good there This year.
OF mining in the Redington district,
Mr.. Wheaton reports that the principal
mining is done there between u and 1
o'clock on the night of each January
31st., and that little is done at other
times of the year.

REGARDING RAILROADS.

THE longest railroad is the Canadian
Pacific.
MEXICAN contractors are importing
thousands of Chinese laborers to work
on railroads in course of construction in
that land.
The railroad cars which traverse Man
haitian Island over their hundreds of
miles of tracks last year carried the
enormous number of over four hun red
million of passengers who paid fve-cent
fares.
A CORRESPONDENT of railroad publi-
cation has found that out Of more than
four hundred railroad accidents in the
United States in 1890 over fifty per cent.
were caused by drunkenness, disobedi-
ence of plain orders or the most reckless
carelessness.
THE Great Western Argentine rail-
road is about to try an experiment of
burning crude petroleum in it's engines.
1t has contracted with Mendoza COM
pany to take one hundred thousand Gu
bic meters of crude petroleum at twelve
dollars meter.
THE number of employees on all the
railroads of the country amounts to-
seven hundred thousand. There are
fifteen hundred and eighteen different
railroad corporations, and the total
mileage of these railroads is one hum
dred and ffty-six thousand four hun.
