 "THE ARIZONA MiSERn
 What more appropriate name could we give the sheet, which we today present to the people of Arizona, an earnest of the attractive paper we hope to establish in this new and auriferous country.
 As the mines of Arizona are famous for their wealth, and the miners noted for their intelligence and enterprise, so may our jour nal acquire reputation for solid worth. for ability and spirit. We shall spare no effort to make it an acceptable record of everything of moment that transpires in the Territory and having a large list of exchanges from the States and Territories, we shall be able to keep our readers informed on all general news Of importance.
 Independent in everything, the organ of no exclusive interest. we shall not be without fixed principles, and a purpose to maintain them. Believing with the immortal Wash ington, that, "It is only in our united char acter, as an empire, that our independence is acknowledged, that our power can be regar ded. or our credit supported" we shall. to the extent of our influence, uphold every Constitutional and necessary measure adop- ted by the general Government to preserve the honor and integrity of the Republic. In this however, we shall not question the right of any honestly to differ from us as to men and means, nor shall we decry as traitors and enemies, those who do not approve every act of the Administration or it's agents.
 Local, rather than National affairs, will for the present. occupy our chief attention Tn common with the people of Arizona, wG are pioneers in great and responsible work .k. l.. 1 -( s,L bell 1r honor to itself and to the age.

 Hoping to merit and to secure the conf. dence and practical cooperation of all in our undertaking, which must. of necessity, be attended with much labor and expense, we commit he ARIZONA NlsER to the kind fa- vor of the public with DO longer or more os- tcntaiious sautatory
