Arizona miner., 1867-03-09

sources Of the Territory, while all the other
States and Territories have furnished the
press with copious extracts OF mining nota-
bilia. obtaining an advantage over Us which
has operated against u, and materially re-
tarncd the movements Of the few who are
here unfolding the claims Of the Territory
to those who want 10 invest. ! am happy 70
state. however. that from the untiring eNer-
tion- we have made 70 MAINTAIN the status Of
our mines, there is now better feeling, and
a growing desire on the part Of capitalists TO
invest in Arizona; and the only way 10 aug
ment and 60 sustain our position a. one Of
the great mining regions OF the continent, Is
the constant application Of labor IN the de-
yelopmcnt Of our rich veins Of gold, silver
and copper whether there = machinery on
the ground or not. The more rock brought
20 the surface from each mine, will add 10 it,
value, and cause inquiry 20 be made the
machinery will come after a while. Mr..
Brooks, who has Just returned from the
&" Vultrren 10 Boston, has by his report done
us all much good Mr.. Vickroy also Is here,
and his report Of the Buiiy BacHo," has
strengthened the feeling towards Arizona.
Parties who will accompany me 20 the Terri
tory, will swell the testimony Of the rich
ness and value Of our metallic and agricultu-
raj resources And, although have labOred
almost alone, under circumstances Of the
most trying character, without abatement,
in bringing into notice-n0t only my own
claims-but Of .ae whole Territory, il is a
source Of great qualification TO be able 20
say, that after so long a time spent in getting
the people 20 take hold I shall be able 20
sail for Arizona some time in February next,
I relying on the mines TO verify the state
fHents concerning them, 20 Insure ;he capital
/ for their speedy development.
! The people Of Arizona will find in Colonel
Thomas l. Crittenden, who is ordered there,
to be a fine gentleman, brave and true, and |
have no hcsitancy 10 saying that, If he i not
tramelled by too much red tape" he viii
soon render the inhabited districts Of Arizona,
too hot for the "red devils who have 30
/ long retarded the growth and development
Of the Territory. / see by the papers that
/ Col. c. is to make his head quarters at Tue
son. This is wrong, unless the intention Is
7 To annex Sonora az an early day. Prescott
should be bis headquarters, and he should
have at least four regiments. But General
I Grant seems to think that troops are no pro
lection against the ncursions and dcpreda-
ti0ns Of sayages. II one may Judge from
I what the papers say you have now the
I right man in the right place. II Col. Crit
tcnden Is furnished with the men and the
means, he will soon clear our country Of the
savages but after all, the speedy settlement
Of the Territory j. the most effective way Of
performing the radiance.
Congress Is doing but little in a business
point Of view, and much anxiety = felt in
financial circles, on the issues Of the day.
Trade i stagnant; manufacturers and mer-
chants are wayering under the decline Of ar
tlcles Of commerce, and many large firms
have already succumbed 10 the pressure.
The currency Is becoming still more contrne-
ted, and the speculative part Of the cOmmu-
nifty are very cautious how they invest
There Is now locked up in the different cities
I of the east about S100O00.OOO, surplus or
dead capital. Money is plenty, but invest
ments are rare every body seems 10 be shy I
Of making investments
/ Philadelphia i the slOwest place 20 start
any kind Of an enterprise az the prcsen: time, /
Of any city having 10 much spare capital on I
the continent Boston has been thoroughly (
canvassed, and taxa IN, by Colorado Territory 4
gold and silver mines, and oil stocks New ,
York seems 10 have lost its wonted spirits of
speculation, for The past year Baltimore,
! though more scrutiniLing and cirrufnsIect. i
ready 10 take hold Of good thing aud put
it through, but they want that good thing on
4 permanent basis, and ais 0 source OF rev

Mr. Vickroy, i understand, calls on the
Dist Of thi, month, for Arizona 20 does Mr.. i
Brooks, Of Boston Arrangements ART being I

direct from HayTe, France, for the mouth Of
the Colorado, by one Of the Bremen line Of
steamers.

The winter 20 far has been mild-good
sleighing to-day. Charles d. Drake j. the
y. 5. Senator from Missouri, in place os
Gratz Bown. Ar. Ashley's bill 10 iinueach
the President, j. looked upon a. a high-hand
ed measure, some Of the Radicals highly dis
approve Of it il is causing great disturbance
IN the financial world, but IT Is thought that
the Judiciary Committee 10 whom il wa
committed, will let il sleep there and no bill
be reported 20 that effect. The rebel states
are a. far from being re-instated as ever.
