In reviving "Davy Crockett" Mayo makes
thousands OF theater-goers happy. 1t is
hardly possible for auy one to sit through
the perform ance without feeling the uflu-
ence of the author and actor. The
wooing of "Davy Crockett" Is a
poem that has for seventeen years
given pleasure and has been recognized
as distincively American play About
five years ago Mayo placed it on the shelf
to make room for other departures, many
of which have been tried with varied sue,
cess, but none ever reached the popularity
of ''Davy Crockett" 1t has made more
money than many melodramas whose sues
cess has been much Wanted. Mayo Is his
own stage manager, and never permits any
one to instruct his support but himself
Many. famous actors aud actresses now
upon the stage are said to owe their finished
training to him. Marie Burgess, who plays

Mayor McDonough Says the Present
Force is Inadequate.

Mayor McDonough Says the Present
Force is Inadequate.
Speaking of the recent complaints of dis
order from various portions Of the city
Mayor McDonouZh said few days ago
that the trouble did not arise from failure
of the policemen to do their duty, but from
the fact the number of police is inadequate
TO proper y patrol the city.
The beats, he says, are too long, and
while an officer is attending to his duty at
one end any amount of disorder or crime
may be co United at the other end
In substantiation of this statement the
mayor cited President street, where the
policeman has to patrol from Reynolds to
Farm streets, almost a mile. The force
now consists of 65 men. rank and file, in
GLIDING one detective.
In 1870, when Savannah did not have
half the p pulatlon of the present day, ,
force numbered ia men. During that year
the arrests numbered 2, S24-1, 473 white and
1851 colored
The reduction Of the force began in 1872,
when ten men were dropped, bringing the
number down to 104. In 1878 twenty~nine
more were dropped, and the movement con-
tinued from that time until 1880, when the
force numbered only fifty-seven men. Since
1880 the number has been increased but
eight men. while the population and city
have grown rapidly.
In 1880 the arrests numbered 1,674-659
whites and LOIS colored. Last year the
number went as high as ,039-1, 1877 whites
and ], S42 colored.
From these figures it will be seen that the
number of arrests is increasing, almost
doubling in the last ten years 1t is also
noticeable that the present. force Of sixty
i've men did much better work in the mat
ter of arrests last year than the ia twenty
years ago.
Mayor McDonough said hat the increas>
ing growth of the city demanded larger
force OF policemen for its protection, and
the matter will probably be brought before
the council at an early day.

A slight fire in the roof of a house on
Wheaton street. occupied by Mrs. Mary
Furlong, called out the department at Gas
o'clock last night The fire started from
sparks falling from the chimney on the
shingles. The chemical extiOguished it in
few minutes, and the damage practically
amounted TO nothing. The house is owned
by Edward McCabe.
While the fire was of no consequence il
was the cause Of serious damage, aud prob
ably quite a loss to the department.
Engine No. 3 was driven by James Craig,
and the horses ran down the north side OF
Liberty street like the wind. When the
engine reached Reynolds street the driver
attempted to make turn, but by some
means lost control of the horses, which ran
up on the sidewalk on the east side and col
lided with telegraph pole, tearing away
the foot brace, gong and one of the chains
from the engine.
The horse nearest the pole got his hind
legs astride 1t aud was badly injured. The
animal had to be taken out of the harness
and led back TO headquarters. He seemed
to suffer much pain, and it is likely that the
accident will incapltate him from further
service.

with carriage load Of people. coming in
from Thunderbolt. A number of people on
the sidewalk had narrow escape from
being run over by the engine. and Craig's
escape from injury is remarkable.
The mogul reel struck buggy a glauc-
ing blow on its way to the fire, but did no
further damage than to break a portion Of
the harness.
Chief Puder said that the injured horse
was one of finest in the department, and
worth yer $500, and he greatly regretted
the accident, which was one of those I'M
avoidable occurrences likely TO happen at

A Deluded Immigrant.

An emigrant, who had for the last week
or two been lodging under the roof of a
building maintained for that purpose in
the city, concluded that it was more
economical, il not pleasanter, to secure
a cot and blanket and join the fashion
CT sleeping in the back yard, and so last
night he invested accordingly and at an
early hour he could be seen stretched
at full length with face upturned
gazing admiringly at the star and moon
light heavens, and wondering that there
were so many fools in Tucson guilty of
paying for the privilege Of tossing all
night on downy beds of sleepless agony,
when by the investment Of paltry 50
any one with a clear conscience could
enjoy solid repose during all the nights
OF the cheated term"
Thus did our untutored immigrant
soliloquize until a late hour when un-
biden slumber asserted her sway, which
was not, however, Of long duration; be-
ing awakened by the discordant notes
of some pretended vocallsts, increased
10y the turmoil of the Gathering feet OF
pedestrians, the rattle of carts and the
insufferable din of about thousand
cannes over the city. The sleepless
hours, which he hid fondiy fattered
himself with having escaped by fleeing
the lodging house were there in force TO
remind him that he had embraced a
deluslon. He vainly beckoned sleep.
The air grew chill and the thin blanket
was inadequate to maintain animal
heat in his system, so as the cocks be-
gan to signal the approach Of mo ming
the idea seized our deluded victim TO
move his cot within an adjacent enclo-
sure and shortly thereafter exhausted
nature again gave way to dreamy re-
pose, and he arose with the sun with
modified opinions of the grandeur Of
rObblng the lodging housekeeper out
an honest living.
Moral: There are a number OF re-
spectacle lodging houses in our city
that need patronage as much as does
the advertising department of this
paper, and the most of them can be re-
lied on for the reason they advertise in
the CITIZEN. Just give them a call and
don't do as our immigrant did last night,
and then 60 around town all day dead

TIE SALERO MINES.
Present Operations to be Increased
Bright Outlook of the Property.

Mr.. j. Bowyer. superintendent of the
Salero mines is in the city, and was in
terviewed by a reporter this morning,
concerning the mining operations
under his charge.
The Salero mines embrace group of
ten claims, which were purchased by
the Ell PlomC M. & S. Co. in 1889.
Their former owner, Jno. III. Campbell
had only sunk SOFT. shaft on one claim,
but thorough test of the ore satisfied
the present company of the great value
of this property. Under the efficient
management of Col. John Weir, work
was Immediately prosecuted, running
two shafts, each 100 It,, and a number
OF levels. In performing this develop
ment work at least 100000 worth of
ore was extracted from the mines The
ore is denominated Lead silver ORE"
and it is estimated will average from 40
to 60 OF. silver and 90 per cent. lead.
At present only about twenty men are
employed in getting out ore, not having
matters satisfactorily arranged to in
crease the number at present. There is
now large amount Of ore at the mill,
and it is the object of the company TO
use all the ore on dumps before en-
larging the output.
Gen. Manager Weir is now in New
York, and negotiations are being per-
tected whereby the machinery of two
new hosting works will soon be pur-
chased In the east ard sent out and set
up at the mines, when the company will
extend their shafts to tie 500 feet level
and greatly increase their force of min
ers. They Will then move their within
to other claims and proceed with devel-
opment work. Three or four of the
mines upon which they are not work
ing at present have proven to be equally
as rich as those which are being worked.
The ore bodies OF the latter run from
six inches to one #. IN width. The deep
est shaft on the mines being worked are
100 It., from one of which an east level
OF 90 fl. and west level of 100-ft. was
mined out which are now used for stop
ing from above. ALI the first class ore
is shipped and marketed at pueblo, Col,
while the second-class, is worked at
the concentration at Sonoita, ten miles
distant, on the first ~ miles of which.
burros are employed to transport the
ore, while it is hauled the remainder OF
the distance with wagons over first
class mountain road.
Mr., Bowyer's chief mission to this city
is to secure more teams for the hauling.
Mr.. b. thinks the location of these
mines, which are 6000 #. above sea level,
is one of the most healthful and plea
SAINT in the territory. The water is ex-
cellent and plenty of timber is convent
ent for all mining purposes.
