TIE YULTCRE LODE.

We have to chronicle the heaviest sale of mining property yet made in Central Arizo- na. E. Phelps, Esq, of New York, we'll known in connection with the Picacho mine. near La Paz, and the Heintzeman and Caba- bi mines, has purchased from Henry Wicken- burg the discovery claim of three hundred feet in the Vulture gold lode, near the town os Wi .kenburg, for seyenty-fye thousand dol lars.
 Before making the purchase, Mir Phelp- caused shaft to be sunk upon the lode to the depth of eighty feet, and, VIC learn. was well satisfied with the result, the vein prov ing wide and the ore of even richness.
 The Nulture Is one of the most noted lodes in the Territory, and one of the largest ever discovered. The discovery claim embraces a chimney of pay rock, standing some fifty feet above the surface, and being from thirty to hity feet wide. The lode was found in the summer of 1863, by Henry Wckenburc, or by party of which he was one. He seems to have had the most confidence in it, for while others who claimed an interest in it left the country, he stuck by it, living alone at the nearest water on the lIassayam- pa for a long time, although much exposed 10 the Indians His tenacity brought its reward, for in 1864 the lode became celebrated, and the town of wickenburg, now one of the liy- Hest places in the Territory, was founded by those who had congregated to work the ore with arrastras. At one time some fifty Of these were in operation. Last year two five stamp mills were put up, and tho results of their crushing show the ore to be of supe- rior quality. It has averaged yield of from SoO to s7O Der ton, and its abundance is proved beyond all question.
Arizona miner., 1866-03-14

Mir. Phelps, with associates, will probably soon erect a orty-stamp mill, and work their claim upon large scale. That they will quickly get back the price paid MT Wicken- burg, and the cost of their machinery, no one familiar with the ore can doubt.
 The sale is important and encouraging, as showing the confidence of capitalists in onr ledges, and the sure progress and prosperity of our Territory. With the mills at Wick enburg and those to be erected hereabouts, within the present year, employment will be given to many men, and we shall demonstrate to all croakers and doubters that Central Ar izona is one of the richest mining districts in the world, and that it is not Co be given over to the Apache, or uninhabitable, as those unable to acquire interests here, or ignorant of the region, are wont to represent.

WASHOE.

To use common expression "the bottom has fallen out or the Washoe mines. The famous Gould and Curry, which paid diyi- dends in 1863 to the amount of Sl, 10000 and in 1861, Sl ,44O,ODO, last year paid but SGlS,OO0, and all the Washoe stocks are tu be had at very low figures. For time in the case of the Gould and Curry, and other claims, it was supposed that the decrease in dividends was to be attributed to extravagant management or mismanagement, but it is now acknowledged that the ores are giving out and that all hope of better return is gone This fact, with many others, is turning atten- ton to Arizona To this time the lodes here opened have proved permanent, and there is every prospect of their lasting. This, with the presence of abundant wood and water, and a climate vastly superior to that of WashOe, will give us a great advantage over that district, an advantage which will more than offset our remoteness from San Francisco, and the expense of the transportation of ma chinery. The sale of the discovery claim oi the yulture mine, at Wickenburg, for S7 ,000 elsewhere referred to, shows that capital is finding it's way here, and that the frightful stories told of Indian troubles have not alarmed operators. We regard the signs of the times as altogether favorable and cheering, and we predict a busy summer, and an early and general acknowledgment, not only upon the Pacific but upon the Atlantic coast, that the gold of this land is good, and abundant, and that there is 10 better field for liberal investment. None of the failures experienced in Washoe are likely to occur here, and the lessons there learned will be rightly i'm proved

THE ArpITnRS, REPORT

One of the important documents presented to the Legislature was the report of the Ter ritorial Auditors. It is published in the present MlSER, and will be read with inter- est. While in the aggregate the sums aud ited seem large, we doubt if any Territory ever incurred so light debt in the first two years of its existence. It will be observed that each claim was allowed under law of the First Legislature, and that the Auditors assumed no responsibility, and even did not charge for incidental expenses, although au- thorizcd to do so.

SYSTEM AND HARMONY.
A Nevada paper says:

NcFada paper says:
 Too many Of our mines are owned by poor men, who have neither capital, system or harmo- n.y."
 That poor men have as good a right to own mines as any one is the impression in Arizo- na, and everywhere among sensible mem that poor men owning mines should have system and harmony in their movements k highly desirable It cannot be long before capital ists in number will be here to buy our lodes, and sales can only be promptly and satisfac- torily made by harmonious action on the part of the owners. Where lodes are divided among a number of proprietors, steps should at once be taken by them to get the titles in a clear and comprehensive form. If owners are at present out of the country they should be written to, and powers of attorney ob- taincd The records, if in any particular im- perfect, should be made right, and the lodes if not well prospected should be worked up- on to degree sufficient to show their size and the character of the orc.
 The custom which many prospectors have oi continually hunting for new lodges. rather than sinking upon and otherwise testing and preparing for the market those already found IS an unfortunate one. The same amount of time aud money spent n shafting and tun- nellins that is devoted to prospecting would make their lodes saleable and likely to pro. dncc what IS most dcslred, an early profit.

TIE TERRITORIAL LIBRARY.

Elsewhere we print the annual report of the Territorial Librarian to the Governor The report is dated November l, 1865, and the catalogue embraces only such books as were then in the library. Since that time A number of public works, secured in the East by Secretary Mccormick, have been added. Among these may be enumerated the Ameri- can Archives, number of large volumes published some years since by the govern ment, and containing documents relating Co the early settlement of the States, to the revolutionary war, the war of 1872, and the general history of the country. The vol tunes arc of great value, and now very scarce Mir. Mccormick also obtained set of the American State papers, series of folio vol tunes of executive and Congressional docu- mcnts from the organization of the govern. ment to lS-. X set of the executive Sen ate and House documents, embracing recent presidential, departmental and congressional reports and documents, was also obtained and the volumes fill several shelves.
 convenient and suitable place in the Secretary's office has been provided for the Territorial library, and while by law the vol tunes are not loaned to any but Terrtoria officers, they may be read by any who choos, to visit the office, and we advise those wh,
 have leisure to drop in and enjoy tie luxury
 of reading. "So entertainment" said Lady
 Montague, is so cheap, nor any pleasure $, ' lasting"
 ! The books to this time in the Territoria | library have been obtained, either through purchase on individual account or by dona
 tion from the departments of the government
 The usual congressional appropriation O ! S2,5O0, given to each Territory at its start
 has not yet been received. When it is, q
 large addition to the library may be ex ! pected.

THE COSr or INNING.
, Reese River (Neyada) paper says


 In this county, at the present time VIC doubt if the most systematically worked mine of the best managed mill extracts and reduces ts bullion at cost of less than s+0 per ton, while in the greater number of cases we believe that 1t will reach $50"
 We quote the remark to draw contrast in favor of Central Arizona, which we can do without passing the most reasonable bounds. At Wickenburg, where there is no abundance of wood, and the ore is carted some eighteen miles to the mills, the cost of working is not over thirty dollars per ton, while hercabouts, where wood and water abound at the lodes, and the ore need not be transported any distance to the mills, the cost, allowing for the high price of labor and provisions, cannot exceed fifteen dollars per ton
 This we urge upon the capitalist as very great advantage, enjoyed by no other min ing region that we know of Moreover, the lodes are large, regular and rich, almost be yond parallel. Talking to an old Washoe operator day or two since, we asked if he had seen any mine in this vicinity equal to the Gould & Curry. Many" he replied, "much superior to it." We are confident that SD soon as our friends abroad come to comprehend the size and wealth of our lodes the rare facilities for working them, and the sure progress of the country, they will losc no time in obtaining interests here

REPEAL or THE Los ANGELES CITY CHAR rER.-The following petition, largely signed, was presented to the California Legislature and has been referred to the Los Angeles delegation:
 To he Honorablt, he Senate and dssssen.bly of
 he S,aie of California:
 The undersigned, citizens of the city of Los Angeles, respectfully represent that the population of the city is about five thousand i; that they have an expensive city government. with salaried officers who are entirely unnec- essary that the useless expense of the city government imposes upon the citizens a use less and burdensOme weight of taxation that the whole police regulations of the city are at present carried on by two justices of the peace and two constables who are indcpcn dent of the city charter, and not paid under it, but by fees. The undersigned therefore pray, that the city charter of the city of Lo, Angeles be repealed; but that necessary pro- visions be made tO enable the supervisors of the county to adopt regulations requiring the people Of the city to provide for the debts and obligations of the city and the proper distribution of water.

MINING AT APACHE PASS.

We are glad to receive this note regarding the opening of A gold ledge near Fort Bowie, Apache Pass;
 FoRT BowIE, Arizona, Feb. lj, 1866.
 EDITOR or ARIZONA MfSEs.-I desire to contribute to your numerous items of rich discoveries in Arizona. During the past week, Me>srs. Byrucs, Wallace, Dodson, liar ris. and Anderson, have been engaged in opening gold ledge recently discovered by Mir Byrnes, in the side of the mountain just back of this post, distant from the post less than one mile, and in full view from the pa rade ground. Thus far they have stripped the ledge distance of about twenty yards. and to the depth of six feet, and incredible as 1t may seem, have scarcely found piece of rock that does not exhibit gold to the naked eye, and the most of it bears very strong indications of silver, as often seen by the writer in Nevada. On the surface the ledge has a uniform width of sixteen inches. and at the depth of six feet widens out to twenty three inches is well cased in wall rock on either side, standing almost perpen- dicular Al the eastern end of the ledge they have taken up fine spring of water, which flows the year round from nine to twenty inches of water. They also have wood in great abundance. So far they have taken out about one ton of rock. They con template putting up an arrastra at once, and when the result is known you shall have the particulars, as 1 am satisfied you will be pleased to publish to the world all the infor- nation you can get relating to the immense mineral wealth of the Territory, of which so little IS known abroad. Yours, A.

With plenty of excellent lodges already exposed at their doors, these prospectors keep up their pursuit as if it were a mania, as with many 1t really seems to be.
