THE CITIZEN Tucson. Saturday, July 19, 1873. LOCAL MATTEIliS. ir- Pioneer Brewery uses Rillito water 'j'i'y iu making beer. Ji'dgb Hughes has some men putting ru dress on the front of his residence.

James Lee's steam flouring mill is Tunning early and late and turning out good flour. See his advertisement. LEoroi.no Caiirillo is puttimr fine fronts oh his buikliiiir at the corner of I' vers aud Camp streets. Paymaster Morrow expects to be ready to pay the troops at camp Lowell early next week. By order of the board of I rk of the district court will hereafter have hi6 office in the room used by the grand jury.

Apfel's train is on the way to with government freight, aud Go 'dberg is about ready to start to Apache witu stores for Uucle Sam. Tiieiie is much talk of hard times, notwithstanding improvements go on as usual, aud 200,000 pounds of citizen freight now on Ihe road from Yuma forTucooa. Wn learn that J. B. Hart, well-known 'n Arizona but now in Nevada, will soon ci-mo to Tucsou with a machine to make ice.

"SnoKTr" has an advertisement in this paper, which frequenters of saloons will read with pleasure. He knows how tj dish up drinks and things about a saloon. Major, Furey has sent for a windmill to hoist water for Camp Lowell, and H. 53. Stevens has also ordered one for priv ate use.

As our quill-driving friends in other localities would say, these orders indicate progress and confidence in Arizona C. O. Browx has been pursuing labor on Ms copper claims situated about foriy-" miles-jvestward of Tucson, and now i. ar.ompllohed enough to entitle him i0 lie et- ac has already some hundreds of tons of rich ore out reaay for shipment aud that he could hardly desire better prospects than arc now exposed at the mine. The Supervisors organized on last Saturday as a board of equalization, and as such held sessions on that day, Monday, iUChday and Wednesday, when they adjourned until the 'iSth instant.

Some additions and changes were made in the assessment roll, but the more important de terminations are deferred unt'l the ad-! jourucd meeting. Two cases of small-pox were reported town early this week. Careful inquiry convinces us that there was not the Slightest foundation for the report. While we prefer the false reDcrt to the actual small-pox, there ought to be some puu-'ahinent Inflicted upon any and all persons who wiifully circulate such damaging reports; and it would not disturb our rest, if at some time we should hear of their dying with the disease. TnE weather is quite unsatisfactory.

Rain is due and don't come down as it should or as our people think it should. Last week we had slight sprinkles, and up to yesterday of this" week, but tew rainless clouds hung round in a tantalizing way. However, there is a good time com-ng. The sky is clear this morning. Some ind prevails.

Considerable rain fell yes-t atternoon in the adjacent mountains but none in this valley. Personal. Supervisor W. Carr returned to Maricopa by Thursday's stage. Tuesday evening, II.

She says it appeared June 1, and disappeared on the 15thf lasting just fifteen days, but during that period, it swept away whole families Her sou was taken with it and died soon after his widow and all their children were attacked aud died. Some tame Apaches, on its appearance, fled to the mountains beyond the Rillito and there escaped, but before it leit meson, mey wuc obliged to come back tor provisions and on their return to the mountains, th disease broke out among them and aboij two-thirds of all died very suddenly. Reports come to us that cholera noV prevails in some of the Southern oid ether cities of the old States, and the Pacific coast cities and towns are taking precautions against its appro'Ejch. The people of Tucson might do well to prudeut and trim for it3 possible lp-prance here again. Supervisors' Proceedings.

Pursuant to adjournment the supervisors met on Monday, July 14, at 10 a. m. Quorum present. The account of C. G.

Morton E. McMichael, in a speech, then formally transferred the grounds to General Hawley, President of the Centennial Commission, who accepted tho trust in an eloquent address. TnE Indian-Mexican rogue, Con-cepcion, is or was recently in irons at Camp Grant, doing such little jobs of camp duty as directed. Certain special Indian peace commissioners thought Concepcion a very gocd sort of saint, and judged from their stand -point, he undoubtedly seemed like one but then Gen. Crook differs in some respects with those who rely more upon a profescior." of than a practice of it.

Affairs at San Carlos. July 7, Goo. H. Stevens wrote in private business letter as follows Indians are very rmiet at present and every indication of their remaining so. Thoy have about twenty-five to thirty acres already planted and aro still planting.

THE ARIZONA TEIEGRAPH- "We are now assured that the entire telegraph line from San Diego via Yuma to Maricopa "Wells with branches to Prescott and Tucson, can and will he built with the money (about $51,000) appropriated by Congress, and also that it will be completed by November. Mr. E. E. Haines, Superintendent of construction, and Captain George Price, in charge of the military connected with the work, are both confident that they can accomplish the job by that time.

Next to the completion of a railway with the great world beyond Arizona, a telegraph is the most desirable connection. Early investigations as to cost of poles indicated that the ap propriation would only build the line between Tucson and Prescott. Of course that much would br a begin- ning and better than nothing, but very unsatisfactory. It affords us pleasnre i to say that Mr. Haiues and Captain prf tu tie citizens along the entire route from Prescott to Tucson, took a liberal interest in tho work and will supply the poles at a very low figure probably not over an average of 1 50 each, which price can have no immediate profit in it.

As many as seven distinct parties have contracts to supply poles and in no case are there any middle-men. The telegraphparty started from Prescott June and reached Tucson July VS. The trail from Prescott to People's valley was followed, and from the place, the party was enabled to travel in an' ambulance. Too lino -frnm Prpcnnl tn "Potii-ilo's length, whereas one via Date creek would be ninety-five, and poles are easily obtained on the former. From Wickenburg, the line will follow the Hassayampa and main traveled road via Duppa's Agua Frio Station to Phenix thence to Maricopa thence via Pima Tillages to Sacaton, and it is believed, by Florence, the people of the iatfer place Having oHereu such inducements in the way of poles as will overbalance the small additional distance required to brinir tho line by rT) 1 1,1 of the Territory.

Frcin Florence the line will quite certainly come by Pi-cacho Station and Point of Mountain. The country along the lino just described is regarded as very favorable to construction, and will be less than 250 miles probably 240. The reconnoissance from Maricopa to Fort Yuma will be made without delay and immediately after the poles will be set and the wire stretched. Just where this part of the work will begin, is not certain with those having it in charge. Both Superintendent Haines and Capt.

Price are alive and earnest in tho work, and will neither permit it to drag or fall short of entire completion, if their present plans are not in some way thwarted. The San Diego and Matagorda Bay railway is tho newspaper name for some examinations of a route from San Diego to Matagorda Bay in the Gulf of Mexico. As we have seen the route described in print, it mainly lies through lower California and other Mexican States; although ono account takes it through a valley called Sonoita which may mean our valley of that name near old camp Crittenden. And wo see it stated that the proposed route is about 1500 miles shorter from the Pacific ocean to the Gulf of Mexico than that of the Texas and Pacific, which of course is a very absurd statement, as any one may learn by a glance at any map of the country. One very knowing description of it takes it through Lower California into Arizona thence into Sonora to Guaymas, and thence to Matagorda Bay, in all a distance of not less than 2,500 miles.

When we discover any intelligent statement of the oormtry through which the road is proposed by those promoting it, it will be time en mgh t. treat it with more serious Juration than tho inland lake eject ou the Colo- a-'rado Desert Frederick Lookyek, of London is the author of this little verse, which contains a deal of truth They eat and drink, and scheme and plod, And go to church on Sunday; And many are afraid of God, And more of Mrs. Grundy.
