The storm king was again around and about last night, blowing as though Tucson was to be blown away. Other than additional shade trees and awnings being damaged, not hurt was done.

Bui little rain felL A business man of Tucson says that while there is nothing like a rush of trade at present business is fairly good, and when the absence of many of its people is considered, it may be regarded as excellent.

Arlieu Indulges in One With Disastrous Result. Preceded by a drizzling rain, and heavy black hurrying clouds, a cloud burst recently made dewn an arroyo in the Cerro Colorado district above Juan Elias ranch that has left its many reminders after it.

For two hours there was a rush and roar and the waters to the depth of fifteen feet swept down the steep canyon at full thirty miles an hour. Everything of value touched it damaged. A dam wall built years ago for storage purposes and previously broken through at one spot is gone. Mines are filled, ranches buried in sand and fences washed away. A fine new mine recently opened by W.

J. Clark, a short distance up the arroyo, and sunk to a depth or 25 feet, is now full of water, with no likelihood of being emptied before December. His tools are at the bottom of the shaft It also washed away $300 worth of fine ore for Mr. Clark. At Juan Elias' ranch the damages will run into the thousande.

The flood left great banks of sand which filled the watering places for his stock and and buried his crops and hay, ruining much fine farming laud. The water was up to his house, being four feet deep on the floor. Miles of brush fence are gone. He has large crewB of men excavating the deposits that water may be obtained for his cattle. At a neighboring ranch, belonging to a man named Maiza, much damage was done.

Had Parnell mixed less in politics and not have fooled 'round with married women, and smoked none but Sam Drachman's Key West cigars, he might have been the leader of the Irish party to this day.

COURT MARTIAL. Every Fenny IF i thirdly Accounted for oy Lieut. Kingsbury. At the court martial the morning was consumed in hearing the charges against Lieut. Kingsbury and his defense.

The first witness was Major Rafferty, of the 2nd cavalry, and his testimony showed every penny's worth of goods receipted for by Lieut. Kingsbury to be well and properly accounted for, receipts being shown. The defense showed that the goods in question were surplus and unnecessary, old pipe and shelves made boxes, and had been considered as unworthy of account. Much of them had belonged to officers. These Lieut.

Kincrbury had sold at the two sales charged in the specifications published in yesterday's Citizen, paying costs lor renairs on covernment wagons, and handing over the balance to Seg't. Gle eecer as compensation for much extra labor that be had performed in tne dis mantlemect of the post, in packing and arranging stores. Several nights Seg't Gleason worked all night, and the "extra services performed were con 6idered by Kingsbury as meriting extra remuneration, and the proceeds of the sale were therefore handed over to the faithful sergeant. Nineteen long letters from army of fioers commendatory of Lieut Kings burv were read. Each gave the lieu tenant a most excellent record, as did the testimony of fellow officers of the second, those longest acquainted speak mg highest of the omcer.

Lieut, rungs bury entered West Point in 186G, and graduated in 1870, and has ever been in active servioe. The testimony regarding Seg't Gle sener was also of a most faithful soldier, alert to his duty, and deserving of the extra comDensation from the sale in question. The irregularity really against Lieut Kingsbury is not for the sale of the goods, but in the compensation there from of the sergeant. The case has gone to the court mar tial for decision. What that decision is will not be learned for some weeks, till returned from Washington, but already it is rendered.

It can only be surmised from the testimony. That Horse Race. The Cxtizex local yesterday got bad ly rattled on the pacing race run on Sunday last between Chess Aldridge's black mare and Joe Soldini's pony. The race was for nurse of 3 1C0. over a mile and a quarter track.

As both horses have considerable local note the attendance was large, although but little money changed hands over the event. The black mare was the favorite of the two and bets of five to one were repeat edly offered in her favor with but few takers. The result was, however, genuine surprise. At the word "go" the mare forged slightly ahead, but in a moment the pony appreciated the situa tion, was soon in front and woo tb race by at least 100 yards. The time made on the first mile was something over three minutes.

This may appear slow but wnen it is remembered that the sun was shining down with nearly 125 degrees of intensity, even Goldsmith Maid in her palmy deys could not have done much better. The little horse was as wet as if he had just taken a bath. This little pocey of Soldini's is a wonder in its way. It is clay bank in color and bo far as known is of the most plebian origin, but he can run against almost anything of his size in the country. So far as known he originally came from Texas and was sold to his present owner for less than 320 including saddle and bridle.

Now $500 would be no induce ment for Joe to part with him. Jt is reported that a second race will be run in the near future, between the same animals. IT IS PROSPERING. Tuoaon'a Lively Adjaoent the Saginaw.1 Camp Tucson's prosperous feeder, the Sag inaw, sends in report of the busy hum at work. At the Saginaw 30 tons cf concentrate are piled up, awaiting the usual weekly shipment.

The mill is doing splendid work with the six concentrators, grind ing up a ton an hour. The main difficulty encountered is from lack of water supplied from the mine. At present there is but enough to run 20 days per month. This trouble will soon be overcome as the miners are drifting in the lower levels with the view of. developing water, rilteen men are employed by the Saginaw company, six in the mine.

At tne Dakota three men are doing satislactory development work. The Junction mine now promises to be a bopanza. It is developing well, and the shaft, four feet across, is all in ore, the thickness of the vein being un known. This mine is at the junction of tne vein of the two great mines of the camp, the Saginaw and the Dakota, and big developments are expected. It be longs to Messrs.

Tenney, Murphy and McKay. Chloriding in the neighborhood of the camp is satisfactory progrese. SCHOOL TRUSTEES. They Decide the Vexing Question of the School Tower. Once and for all the tower muddle is decided in so for as the school trustees are concerned.

They held a business meeting last night and being satisfied of the necessity for such a move unanimously decided on the removal of the tower and have advertised for bids, to be received till July 27th. The tower will be replaced in accordance with their original design, by a skeleton belfry, which will be eight feet square and twelve feet high. The trustees also decided to put in their own water works, and will sink a well to such depth as required for sufficient water, and will erect a tank of at leaet 10,000 gallons capacity. A pipe will also be laid to the Congress street building. Gottage Contracts.

At the special meeting of the board of regents held for the purpose, the bids were opened for the erection of two cottages oa the university grounds, in accordance with plans by Architect Creighton. The bids made were: Ji lius Flin, 313,905.50 E. Rochester 11,650.00 Holmes, Gregory fc Lindsey. 15,328.00 L. MTPrino 10,350.00 The contract was therefore awarded L.

M. Prince, who agrees to complete cottage No. 1 by Dec let 1891, and cottage No. 2 by Jan. 1st 1892.

Priso DrilL AiBCQCEBQUE, N. uly 13, 189L To the Editob: The Territorial Fair Association have decided to place the limit of companies competing for the prizes at the military encampment at not less than fours, right and left guide and officers, making 21 men instead of 29 as formerly proposed. This action has met with universal approval as it will enable all companies to compete. The success of the encampment is assured and the boys are getting enthusiastic over the prospect of an enjoyable time during fair week. Very truly yours, O.

C. Haix, President, BUNKER HILL, A Kich and Promising Mining District. DESCRIPTION OF SOME Of the Mines and Work Being Done. Attractive Summer Climate Health Wealth and Pleasure to bo Found in the GaluraV From ten to fifteen miles north of Mammoth in the Galura range of moun tains, Pinal is a mineral belt, called the Bunker Hill mining district. The first important discoveries were made by Messrs.

Clark, Scanlan and Deihl in 18S9. at which time the district was given its Ipopular name. At this date there seemed to have been so far known, very little prospecting of the region since the occupation of the coun try by the Americans, but, nevertheless, there is to be Been in one or more places signs of mining having been done at some more remote period. Having been informed that greater efforts were now being put forth to de velopthe mines of the district than ever before, on my arrival at Mammoth concluded to accept the kind offer of J. Chriss Johnson to accompany him and Mrs.

Johnson who were en route to that district. We traveled about eight miles of the distance by wagon up a canyon, most of the way in a gravelly dry creek bed, and the weather being extremely warm, made the journey somewhat tedious. Having finally gone up the canyon as far as wagons could be taken, we dismounted at what Bunker Hill miners call Burro Landing. Here, after having fixed up a sunshade with blankets, using cactu stocks for corner posts, we dug up some canned goods, a loaf of bread, elaret and other nick nacks, and enjoyed a hearty out door repast. Toward evening the heat moderated and our party mounted burros provided for the occasion io ascend the mountain five miles farther to reach the Blue bird mine, which is owned by Messrs.

Johnson, Reynolds and Cronin. In the distance thus far traveled, the predominating vegetation seemed to be cactus, with more or less scattering grass, but now the character istics began to change. We, so to 6peak, were rising ebove the cacti, and com paratively barren mils, ana had com me need to climb steep mountain spurs covered with a luxurant growth of wild grass, uraauaiiy we ascended till we had reached the oak timber line, a balmy mountain was stirring, and for the first time on the trip I began to realize that I wasnearing the enchanted borders or a boasted neaith resort, or at least I remembered having been teld tbatsomeone had gone into the Bunker Hill diggings for the double object of health and weaitn. wen, must say there is a decided improvement in the appearance of the landscape, as we ap- aproached the point of destination; the hillsides being bedecked with clumps of shady oaks and the canyons occasionally lined with cot ton woods, a6b. walnut and other species of wood, and frequent ly entwined with ivy and wild grape and, to lend still further attractions to the region, springs and rivilets of pure flowing water also abound.

Eventually we arrived at the Blue Bird mine, and were greeted by Mr. and Mrs. Beynolds, also Mrs. Schreiber, of Tucson. After doing ample justice to a miner supper an hour social converse followed, then under the open canopy of heaven, stretched upon a rustic cot.

we were soon enwrapped in the arms cf our oil friend Morpheus. The next day (Saturday.) was employed in examining me district, rim I was given an insignt into the lilue Uird property by its owners. The mine is about thirteen miles north of Mammoth. It has changed hands several times, and now its present proprietors propose to prosecute development as rapidly as their circumstances will ptrout. The work done so far is an opt cut of COO feet snowing a continuous ve.n of from to 12 inches, giving an aver age assay in lead and silver of about S100 per ton.

In fact the ledge has been traced for the distance of three claims ex tensions owned by the third partner, Cronm, formerly connected with Harry Meigs railway construction in S. A. This gentleman has also had ex tensive experience as a miner and prospector, and has eventually secured a good paying property, besides being the owner of a number ct lessor devel oped mines in the district. ine iormation ct the lilue uird is granite and sinite. The ore shows no signs of "pinching out," but on the contrary the vein enlarges as greater depth is attained.

A 65 ft. tunnel has been toped out, and considerable ore ship ped. Ore is being continually extract" ed while development proceeds. The two shafts sunk are each only about 12 but will soon be down much below this depth. The ore is shipped east via Tucson, and costs $21 to get it to the latter rint.

On account of the per cent, of lead contained the ore is worked fre, being used fr electrical pur poses. The Blue owners are discussing the proposition of erecting a five ton emelter, which would very materially increase the net profits of the mine. A peculiarity of this property is that it has paid from the grass roots downward and throughout, and it is estimated that ore is uncovered in suf ficient quantities to Keep a 5-ton smelt er in operation for two years. The alverde mine, near Blue Bird, Johnson Jfc Beynolds a 40 feet tunnel, a A) ft. shaft and a 40 ft.

winze, and there is plenty of good ore in sight. It is proposed to run a tunnel 100 foot below the present tunnel, and nk a shaft to oonneoL This is claim ed to be the richest silver mine in the district, but the ore so far haB beec found in pockets. From 63 sacks of ore shipped to Socorro, N. in November, 1890, returns show silver, and $12.54 gold. Thirty sacks shipped a month later to same mill gave returns $277.30 silver, $1.25 gold, and 30 per cent, lead.

A cloud burst at this latter date un fortunately swept away about 100 sacks of the ore before shipped from the mine. From Colonel Clark (by many known as plain Ed Clark) your correspondent derived much valuable data pertaining to this district, he bein? one of the riginal discoverer of the mines. Clark Scanlan are the owneiu of the Copper rinoe, uiobe, Eureka, and Copper Giant. The latter has a tunnel 128 ft. and a shaft 80 ft.

Also a 30 ft cut, 30 ft. wide, 15 ft. high ore green carbonate. A shaft at the end of this cut is sunk 80 ft. showing--green oarbonate.

red oxide copper and native-copper, and 8 per cen t. Another shaft, 10 above main shaft and cut, exposes a 200 ft. ledge of green carbonate ore. The Copper Prince parallel lead with the Giant, has a cut 35 ft. long and 15 deep, and a 20 ft.

shaft. The ore is green carbonate and native coj per, 50 percent, lead. Eureka.an extension from the Giant, has a 30 ft. tunnel and two outs, 1G ft. each, with same character oi ore as the Giant.

Tke Globe has a chimney 125 ft, 100 ft wide and 60 ft. high; also two shales, each 20 ft deep, exposing green carbonate and dance, and jicsai ing from 5 to 75 ner cent. Conner. WhooD Up. nearly a mile north of Globe, exnosee.

at the bottom of a 35 ft shaft a ledge 3 -ft wide assaying 37 silver, 35 per cent lead and 27 per cent copper. Two other shafts oi iuit.eacn show the same kind of ore. The Democrat owned by Clark, Crow ly, Vickers, and Huber, is of dyrite formation. A 110 ft tunnel tapped the ledee 154 ft deep. It is well denned on the water level and assays from 20 to 60 ounces silver, and 20 per cent lead.

Another tunnel, twenty-five feet on the ledge assays 70 oz. silver and 25 per cent lead. The Kepublican, owned by Clark and Crowley, an extension of Democrat has a 20 foot shaft and a 10 foot drift showing a vein of 4 inches, assaying from 40 to 600 oz. silver. What is known as the oldest mine in the district is owned by John Scanlan, and is called Smelter mine.

A 75 foot tunnel shows a streak averaging 4 inches wide, and assaying S3.00 per pound, main ledge parallel, 3 feet solid iron averaging 150 oz. silver. This mine shows signs of having been worked by Mexicans. There is the finest spring near by to be found in the mountains. Table Mountain copper mine, owned by Capt Scanlan, Gilman, and Galloway, has two tunnels, each 50 feet two cutsjeach 40 feet, and a 50 foot shaft all in ore blade and red oxide and native copper, averaging 15 per cent It is es timated there is 1,000 tons of ore on the dump.

The formation is lime and quartzite. A loot streaK or gold ore was sampled in Tucson some time ago snd reported at $40. It is said work at this mine will be resumed next fall. The Chief, Jack Bolein, proprietor, is under lease to Dryden Smith, who are taking out ore assaying from $500 to $1000. They will make a shipment this week.

Theodore Ganson is working on his Bonita, which has a 20 and a 50 foot shaft lie is taking out ore which ave rages $100, U. R. Johns, owner of the Elevator, is confident this district will become famous in time as the Anaconda, and who knows but what he is right? The Elevator has a 30 ft. tunnel and a 50 ft. open cut, 20 feet deep.

He has Bhipped considerable ore. Two of the three veins are one foot thick, going 50 to 250 oz. silver, 10 gold and 40 per cent lead His mine Hercules promises to prove a valuable one. The Stem Winder silver mine, owned by Cattle King Smith Atchly, has a 42 foot shaft showing a body of ore 4 feet wide, and averaging $30 to S2o0 in silver, 18 gold, and 40 per cent lead. They are now sinking the shaft 20 feet deeper.

Clark and Crowly also own the Audly mine which has a 10 foot shaft expos ing vein 6 inches wide, and assbying $95 silver and 40 per cent lead. Dodson and roves, the former a general merchant in Mammoth, own the Garfield and Star of the West claims. The former assays in silver $22, gold $2.50, and 30 per cent copper. The Star of the West is a large led ge of low grade ore. In the same district, a few miles south east, is the Badger group of lead and silver mines, owned by Clark fc Co.

They were once bonded for a good sum, but capital to operate seemed to be lacking, and at present they are idle though the property would certainly prove a profitable investment This group consists or hve claims, called the Badger. Mark Twain, Carbonate, Silver Reef, and Red Oxide. On the two for mer only has there been work enough done to show the vein to advantage, but upon the Carbonate a 50 foot shaft connected by, a 90 foot drift exposes an 8 foot ledge, which careful assays esti mate $70.69. As the ledge enters the line of the Silver Keef it gradually widens till about the centre of the claim where it shows surface croppings of 300 feet, here we enter a 75 ft shaft, all in ore, showing no walls. The Badger group of mines have good facilities for working the ores, hav mg plenty of wood, water and fine mill- sites.

There are a number of featuresTper taining vto the Bunker Hill mine that might be interesting to refer to, such, for instance, as the tragic incidents that transpired here during the last Apache war, this being one of the haunts of the savage, and a number of miners lost their lives at their hands among these hills. "Kid," on whose head there is a large government reward, is still be lieved to be hiding in these fastnesses, and some trace of him was had near by recently. There are some interesting caves in the district which I must pass over, and close my letter by assuring the expert hunter that he need not return empty handed from a gunning expedition in the Galura mountains, there being plenty of deer, bear, quail, etc r. a.

THE TOWN OF MAMMOTH. Soma of its Business Men and Enter prises. v. On my return from the Bunker Hill mining district I took a look around the town of Mammoth, which is situated on the San Pedro river, sixty-four miles below Benson. The establishment of a 30 stamp mill at this point in August, 1885 by a Detroit company, under the management of Geo.

X. Fletcher, to work tbe ore of the Mammoth mine, some three miles distant, was the starting of tue present village coastisting of fonr stores, two blacksmith shops, a barber shop, three saloons, and about thirty dwelling houses. The business furnished by the mining operations the principle dependence of the town, al though considerable trade comes from ranchers, stockmen, chloriders and others. The Mohawk Ranch Co. established an extensive general merchandise store here about two years age, which is sec cessf ully managed by Chas.

De Groff, the proprietor of the Ornderff house, Tucson. Mr. De Groff says business is much improved compared to preceding years. Huffman Pinching do a good busi ness in general merchandising, and also deal in hay and gram, besides keeping a feed yard for the accommodation of the public Another enterprising man of the place is Louis Ezekiels, who also deals in general merchandise and keeps a feed yard. Besides this he is engaged in an enterprise that deserves to be patronized and encouraged liberally by the public lie has erected a steam saw mill in the Santa Catahna mountains, thirty miles south of Mammoth, with a capacity to manufacture 12,000 feet daily, and has established a lumberyard here to supply the Mammoth mines and publio generally.

The inducement which Mr. Ezekiels can offer in the superiorty of the lumber he furnishes to that usually shipped from California would be an inducement to patronize his mill even if he could not Bupply it at a saving of $10 per one thousand feet over tbe imported article. By actual test his lumber is one third stronger and on this account is greatly preferred in the Mammoth mine to imported lumber. Ihe quau ties of lumber he is sawing is the yellow Norway. pine, pitch pine, spruce, fir, oak and mad rode.

It is estimated that there is sufficient good saw timber accessi ble to this mill to keep it in constant operation for the next twenty-five years He has just finished the construction of a wagon road from Mammoth to the mill costing $5,500, and several men must be kept on it constantly to main tain it Mr. Lzekiels has lately com menced the construction of road from he mill to Tucson. The distance will be twenty-four miles. By this enter prise much money will be kept at home and employment given to a number of cf our own people. Ail lumber needed for building purposes except red wood for finishing will be supplied from this combined merchant and custom mill.

J. N. Dodson is one of the old suo stantial cititizens of the San Pedro, now conducting a general merchandise store and feed yard at Mammoth. Mr JJod son keeps the only public lodging house in the town, and tries to make her guests comforlalbe. The town has a very good and com modious school house, and during ses sions the school is said to be well pat ronized.

Of public eating places in Mammoth. one is kept by Mr. Van Horn and the other by Wm. Neil. The latter is the proprietor of the only stage line to Mammoth and has the contract for car rying the United States maiL Further more he has the contract for delivering the ore from tbe Mammoth mine to the mill, and something of the magnitude of this business may be known by the fact that he draws from the mining company monthly a check for about B.

Among the number present were men who had been working, at one time or another, in every prominent silver camp in the United States. The climax, however, was reached when one of the niining men showed how a knowledge of ancient history once came into play and paid a man exceedingly well. 'Of course," he said, "you have all heard of the Pelican and the Dives mines at v-rgetown, and know that there has leen very rich ore taken from these claim.

There was a dispute between the owners of the claims. The Dives used to keep its ore and have it all sampled Sunday. The idea was that no civil process could be served Sunday, and by getting the ore down and sampled that day there was no chance for their opponents to do anything. Of course, after the ore was sampled, no one could swear to iU identity when removed from the sain pier, and so it was safe the rest of the week. "The Dives people aimed to chip dovm about 100 tons each Sunday, this amount of ore being valued at about Mr.

Schneider, the banker, who wuj afterward shot, was the owner of the Pelican and was anxious to get even with the Dives people any way possi ble. "One day he told one of tha miners around Georgetown that he could have all the ore that he could get from the Dives people, and that he would pur chase the same at full value at the Peli can railL "The bargain certainly gave no one a legal title to the ore thus to be obtained, and as to the moral aspects of the ques tion I suppose that didnt bother any one of them. The law certainly would have looked upon ore. taken from the Dives people under this arrangement as stolen ore. OBTAINED THE KEGS.

"The miner with whom the arrange ment had been made had for some time had some low grade ore in 6ack3 in one of the bins of the Fester sampler, a mill about half a mile above the sampler where the ore of the Dives people was sampled. One evening, after he had made arrangements with a couple of friends, he went to ilr. Foster, after the latter had locked up his sampler, and asked him for the key of the mill, as he wanted to get the sacks holding the low grade ore stacked in the mill. Mr. Fo: ter, of course, had no objection and handed over the key.

"During the night there came along a wagon loaded with ore picked out at the Dives mine by one who knew the grade of the ore. It was dropped on the hiH and the two men packed the ere in the Foster eampler. The ore was put in the sacks which formerly held the low grade galena ore. It was impossible to take away the ore that night, so it was left, with the hope that Mr. Foster would not notice anything out of the way.

But when the next night it was noticed by the two conspirators that a brand new lock was placed on the door of the mill, and that all the windows had been firm ly fastened down, they needed no one to tell them that Mr. Foster wanted an ex planatiou of how worthk-ss galena ore had suildenlv become ore running 500 ounces in silver. "The two conspirators sneaked around the mill, hunting for an unguarded place, but every point was locked, no door opened, no window was unshut To break in meant burglary, and bur glary means Canyon City for a term, if discovered. So what to do became the question. KNOWLEDGE OK HISTORY.

"Here came in the advantage of read ing. Says the one to the other. Have you ever read any ancient history? 'No, was the reply, 'and what good would it ba here': 'Well, if you had. you would know how to solve the problem of enter ing this mill without breaking it Cyrus entered Babylon by turning the river that flowed beneath the walls of the city and entered by the way thus opened. We must do the same with the water running through the flume entering the mill, and thus enter without breaking through tho wall or through the ioofj "It wasn't much of a job to turn tho water of the flame at the headgato, and in a few ininntei the flume was dry.

It wasn't very long before our tw conspirators were the mill and wert moving the sacks with the rich ore, aboni which Mr. Foster wad so particular and anxious to learn something. "The time at command did not allow of carrying the ore entirely away. Not only that, but it was not safe to handle just that class of ore immediately, for, at tne least, it meant a cutting of a good deal of the profit of the job.

Here again the flume and its supply of water came in nandy. Tne sacks witn tne ore were dropped over tho tail flume, and as soon as the water was turned on there was a veil of water hiding all that wealth hid den behind it "When the conspirators had moved all the ore they returned by tho way they naa come, again turned on the water. and th6u nothing on the outside showed that the mill TiO longer held the ore it once did. When the doors were opened in the morning everything was found as usual, except that the ore, to guard which all the paddocks and nails and screws had been brought into requisi tion, was gone. in due time the ore was removed from beneath its curtain of water, brought to the Pelican sampler and sold.

They are the human chattels of a clas3 of importers of foreign birth who have their agents and established headqear-ters in every city of proininence on the Pacific coast aa well as in eastern centers. Tbese human chattels, who claim to be Turks to advance the novelty of their personality in the eyes of the purchasing public, are the scum of Syria, Armenia, Greece and Italy. There are several thousand of these serfs employed, by their money making fellow countrymen in the United States.

Hundreds are annually added to the number already employed. Ignorant of their legal rights and but poorly versed hi the language of the country they tamely submit to their exacting master, receiving only their food, lodging and scanty clothing. These serfs sell themselves to their masters, hoping that in a new country they will better their condition and be at least relieved of thepangaof hunger which beset them in their native lands. Pledged to work either for life or for years for those who provide them with transportation to the new land of promise, they are sent on their arrival in the dated States to the cities where their Ubor3 will prove the most remunerative. Tlwy have lately encroached upon what to them is a virgin field the Pacific coast and numbers are frequently being sent hither to thoroughly cover every profitable point.

There hav br-n as many as forty or fifty of these chattels men, women and youths engaged in making street sales in this city, but they have decreased until only twelve or fifteen cover the trade cf San Francisco. Seattle, Tacoma and Washington generally include fifteen or twenty in their boundaries. Los Angeles is favored with the presence of ten or twelve, while Oregon which, according to their statements, is proving to be the more remunerative field has from thirty to fifty of these serfs catering to the demands of their peculiar line of trade. The staie of Nevada harbors ten or fifteen, while the progress of Utah is marked by having twenty or thirty. Their residence at any place is not permanent, but, like tho nomadic Arab of the desert, these slaves silently fold their tents and steal away at the will of their masters, which Varies with the variations of the trade.

One of the places In this city where nomadic serfs receive their supplies and render their accounts is in Minna street. It is a supply depot, and is conducted under tha same of Joseph Sharbel Co. There, in a room crowded with Syrians of both sexes, of all sizes and ages, is a large stock of trinkets and religious articles stored in pasteboard boxes of various sizes displayed on shelves which run about the room. This apartment contains two beds and a lounge, and the lack of other furnish--ings is made compulsory by the space, taken up by the immense stock which is doled out to be sold by the stet peddlers in this city and neighboring towns. Joseph Sharbel himself is a bronzed and brawny Syrian, much past the yean of middle life.

He is the padrone who direct the actions and labors of the dozen of composite nationalities of both sexes and various ages who were gathered in the room. He was rather reticent when questioned by a reporter, and while claiming to be unacquainted with others engaged in the same line of business he displayed a knowledge regarding the location of branch agencies and number of his countrymen and women engaged in the trade that was remarkable. Some of the supply depots in this city remit regularly from $3,000 to $4,000 a week to the cast and Europe as payments for shipments and invoices of goods. San Francisco Chronicle. Lawrenee Barrett's Head.

A review of Lawrence Barrett's career is a lesson to all who basely betray golden opportunities. Think of this man as born pf humble Irish parents a seven mouths' child, so frail in physique that for tho first five years of his life ho could not lift his head! When later he went to school it was his fond mother who carried him in her hard worked arms. He undoubtedly inherited from both parents tho seeds of the diseasi which has taken him away in Ins prime; and on top of a weak body nature placed aa enormous head, which made the battle for existence all the harder. Lawrence Barrett, the man, could wear no hat not made to order, thoupi on one occasion he succeeded in findinc a tolerable fit in John Fiske's when this clever but absent minded philosopher waured oil from Die Ball house in Cam bridge with Barrett's brand new beaver. leaving a 1-2P3 enticing headgear in its place.

Of course this silent citizen does not saw wood for fun, nor merely for his health. It is doubtful, however, if he ever sawed to better purpose than did a young wom an in Columbus, a few days ago, to whom a merchant of that place offered twenty yards of silk for a dress if she would saw half a cord of wood in front of his store. She borrowed a saw and went through the wood pile in exactly three hours, and the admiring crowd bought her a twelve dollar hat to go witK the dress.

The compensation was liberal, and tho young woman had the satisfac tion of showing, in the language of Sam Patch, that "some things can be done as well as others."

It keeps three large Chicago factories busy to manufacture the locomotive headlights and railroad lanterns that are used in this country. The factories give employment to 1,100 men and boys. An Italian engineer has originated a system by which he proposes to utilize the power of trains running down grade. He has perfected a machine for compressing air as the train goes down grade, which can be used to actuate a motor at the will of the engineer, and be used to assist the locomotive on up grades. The largest locomotive ever made weighs nearly one hundred tons, and was recently turned out by the Baldwin locomotive works, Philadelphia.

It has five pairs of driving wheels, the firebox is eleven feet long, and is guaranteed to haul seven hundred and sixty tons up a grade one hundred and five feet to the mile.
