 TERRITORY or ARIZONA, ANNOUNCING HIS
 ASSUMPTION or OFFICIAL DUTIES. TO THE PEOPLE OF ARIZONA
 Having been appointed by the President, and confirmed hy the Senate of the United States, as Governor of the Territory of Ari- zona, have this day taken the required oath and assumed the duties of the office.
 Ny familiarity with the organization and progress of the Territory, my connection with its government from the beginning, and my knowledge Of its rich resources, are guar antees sss: I may intelligently. as shall vigorously, labor to promote it's best inter- csts, and ask the cordial cooperation of all citizens, regardless of local, personal or politi- cal considerations.
 The hour is suspicious Cor the Territories ; the tumult of war has ceased, the unity of the States Is insured, freedom is universal, industry Is revived, and the animating infia- ences of a new era of National peace and prosperity, are already felt upon the frontier.
 Energy of action, tenacity of purpose, con fidenoe and harmony, as hitherto shown by the people Of Arizona, will speedily overcome every obstacle to the development of the country, securing an abundant reward to in- iividnal enterprise, and commanding for the Territory an enviable position among the new possessions of the Republic.

 have not heard the theory advanced in Prescott, suggested above, until saw it in the MINER. The opinion, believe, has been expressed very confidently in Prescott and elsewhere, not only lately, but Nor the entire period since the passage of the act of Congress of Sept. i, lSii, that the said pre-emption law had no application to lands in an Indian country such as this, until the Indian titles had been extinguished by the United States by treaty with the Indians holding the pos sessory right, the general Govern. mcnt is now attempting to do in very feeble way through its military agents
 Sec. 1, of the act of 1854. provides that none of the provisions of this act shall extend to mineral lands" And sec. :. of the organic act of New Mexico and Arizona, provides that '" no law shall be passed interfering with the primary disposal of the soil" This language seems to indicate that Congress reserves .o itself the power and authority Co make the primary disposition of the soil. and has not delegated that authority to this territory.
 There is question being pretty thorough, discussed, ! learn, just now, which is this - H,'- SiGSy ranches can person take up and hold in an Indian country, and by what right title or authority are they so taken up and held.
 Any light you may be able to furnish or this point, will, have no doubt, be thank fully received by your readers and the public generally. T. r. W.

TRIP TO WALNUT GROVE.

PREscoTT, July IS, lSGG.
 FpIToR or ARIZONA MISER.-On the l4th of July instant, party of three of us started for trip to the above locality, and these are our iottings down by the way and while there. ..ta f-tNEk
 Starting from here early in the morning, passing by the Sterling mill, which was in full operation. we arrived at Joe. Yonng's cabin, on the Hassayampa. Continuing down that stream, by the Umpqua lode, tone of the best veins in the country,) some three miles, thence to Copper Creek, and down again into the lIassayampa, we had made be- low the tanks on that creek. A very heavy shower of rain here struck us, but still going on, we arrived at the house Of Messrs Hen; ry. White and Bright at two o'clock, distance about twenty-five miles. The trail is rather rough. but we had an excellent leader, and made the distance in fine spirits.
 With Fred. Henry and his partners, who have as good a crop, and which is as well tended to, as any in the valley, we camped over night, and the next day rode down the creek The first ranch Is that of NIT. Lam berson, and adjoining that of Messrs. Rich ardson & Gage, who have fine prospects. MT I.amberson has small grist mill, running by water power, grinding wheat very well. The Messrs. McCloud have ranch just across the creek here, and also are engaged in placer mining i'm the canon. Crossing the low hills we next came to the place of Mir. CullnmbeI and his sons, who have fine farm and a beautiful location to live. Journeying on we next came to Bird < Ellsworth's ranch who have perhaps the largest crop this year of any in the valley. They are seemingly 90 ahead men, and have good prospect Several other men are with Bird Ellsworth

Los ASGELEs.-The Ns'rs says the pros poets for Los Angeles never were more favor able than at the present time. Trade of every kind Is constantly increasing, and new mineral discoveries being made in the Slate Range, Owens River, and Clear Greek Districts, while many companies are prospecting, and with success, too, for oil The same paper complains Of the arrangement for holding the U. s. District Court at Monterey, as hard ship to the people of Los Angeles.

MR. YIcKHor returned few days since, having msae quick trip to the States With him came our old friend Bill. Denuson, and party from Philadelphia, some seven in all. Captain Coffin and his son, formerly of the army of the Potomac, with assayers, engineers, etc, who make up the party, win have charge of iheivickroy mill, parts of which are now at the Bully Bueno lode, and at Woolsey's ranch. The mill will, we are glad to say, soon be put in operation, but probably upon some other lode than the Bully Bueno, which is said to have turned to silver.
