We report a measurement of the $\Xi_c^+$ and $\Xi_c^0$ baryon masses, and the branching ratios for various $\Xi_c$ decays, using $140 \mathrm{fb}^{-1}$ of data collected by the Belle experiment at the KEKB $e^+ e^-$ collider.The mass splitting $m_{\Xi_c^0} - m_{\Xi_c^+}$ is found to be $2.9\pm 0.5 \mathrm{MeV}/c^2$; this measurement is three times as precise as the current world average. We measure the branching ratios $\Gamma (\Xi_c^+\to \Lambda K\pi\pi)/\Gamma (\Xi_c^+\to\Xi\pi\pi) = 0.32\pm 0.03 \pm 0.02$ and $\Gamma (\Xi_c^0\to p KK\pi)/\Gamma (\Xi_c^0\to\Xi\pi) = 0.33\pm 0.03 \pm 0.03$, with improved precision, and measure $\Gamma (\Xi_c^+\to p K^0_S K^0_S)/\Gamma (\Xi_c^+\to\Xi\pi\pi) = 0.087\pm 0.016 \pm 0.014$, $\Gamma (\Xi_c^0\to \Lambda K\pi)/\Gamma (\Xi_c^0\to\Xi\pi) = 1.07\pm 0.12 \pm 0.07$ and $\Gamma (\Xi_c^0\to \Lambda K^0_S)/\Gamma (\Xi_c^0\to\Xi\pi) = 0.21\pm 0.02 \pm 0.02$ for the first time. In $\Xi_c^0$ decays to the $p K^- K^- \pi^+$ final state, we find evidence for the process $\Xi_c^0 \to p K^- \bar{K}{}^\ast(892)^0$ and measure the fraction of decays via this process to be $0.51\pm 0.03 \pm 0.01$.
