OUR SITUATION.

Northern Arizona is peculiarly ,tuaicl and comes very nigh being an oasis in a deser. Our western frontier is bounded by tue Colorado river; our southern. by the Gila, our eastern. by New Mexico and our northern by Ctah and Colorado. South of the Gila, our section is eat Of from the Mexican State of sonora by long strip of land which in some countries. might bc called desert, although portions of it produce grass, and contain some farming land. The re- gion of country between the Colorado river and the settlements in southern California is another such a desert On our northern border thc coun- try is almost terra incogRHo. but We believe it to be 2 high well-watered and timbered country. The distance from Prescott Co san Bcrnardino. the first town of any importance in southern Cali fornia, is oboui foo mile. to Los Angeles fine largest town souih of san Francisco it is about I75 miles From Prescott, to santa Fc, New Mexico. the distance is less than 800 miles rid Camp Lincoln. Zuni and Fort Wingatc. In the chief city of southern California and the chief city of New Mexico the price of articles com sumed by us, are nearly equal, the sIigh, differ ences being in favor of California. Yet once let us have direct communication with New Mexico. rid the route already mentioned let mail ser vice and troops be placed upon it, and we could buy here in Prescott. from New Mexican traders, flour for about SIP per cwt., and other article. in proportion, for which we now have to pay SIS and SEQ per cwt in gold. Quite a differ encc in the cost of flour and other articles. Tho reason for this is that the route from Prescott Wickenburg and other places in the Territory is far superior to that between our county and Los Angeles. Between Prescott and Wickenburg and Santa Fe and Albuquerque, ox teams could perform the journey with great ease as upon ,he entire route water is plenty at convenient dis tanees and grass grows everywhere. Heretofore California has held Us at her mercy in the bol low of her hand. and we are anxious to sec New Mexico run her tilt for our trade. Not that V, prefer our eastern to our western brethren. bu that we wish to see some competition in this mar ket and reduction in the cost of living. In few years, we will, raise enough wheat to mak, our own bread. and should the Indians ccas, their thieving. more than enough cattle. swine sheep. etc. 10 furnish us meat
 We want connexion with New Mexico. an, must have it, and We hope she will meet us hali way in trying ;o get it.
 The telegraph line recently built to SSata F. will not stop there long and We have reason C hope that it will soon be extended through 4hi part of Arizona and connect at Los Angeles wiu the wires from San Francisco

MINING NEWS.

CAL JACKSON d Co.,, have recently purchased the mining claims and ditch below their bydrau- ic claims on Lynx creek from s. z Pierce. The company now have undisputed sway over all these rich and extensive diggings, and as soon as the water dries mp. they will go to cutting a larger ditch than the one now n use. building humes, and preparing generally, for vigorous winters piping.
 PLACER mining has almost ceased on Big Bug cause, not sufficient water.
 AS yet we have no news from Black Canyon diggines, Bradshaw District
 HAssAYAAPA DIsTEIcr.-They are taking some very rich ore out of the Chase lode At tbe Sterling, all is life and animation Work has fairly commenced on furnaces and ledge.
 WALKERS DIsTmcT-McWillam and Winning have just worked and cleaned mp seventeen tons of ore taken from Opposite lode, which yielded them the snug sum of Sl0ji. or sC2 to the ton. We saw them weigh the gold and sell it at SIT an ounce. This is a big yield, and a person would naturally suppose they had made money, but when it is known that they had to pay S4 a day for the use of a rickety wheel and two no account arastras; also, big price for hauling the ore, and furnishing guard 10 the wagon and team, their profits are not great, nevertheless. they have done handsomely and have concluded to erect a wheel and arastras of their own The other arastra men were cleaning mp when Me | Williams and Winning left the creek. The water was drying up fast.
 Ar WlcKESBuRG, on ibe llth, both mills were running, but 1t was feared that a suspension was l inevitable, for the reason that sufficient teams could not be had to haul rock, the Indians hay ing taken nearly all the animals about the place.
 NEw AND RIcH QrMTz LoDE.-Messrs. Henkel x Baker, who have recently been employed by Moves Curtcss at the Chase lode, showed us the other day, specimen of ore from lode re. gently discovered by them, about one mile south of the Chase lode, and which they have named the Bunker Hill" The specimen left with us contains great deal of gold, and they assured us that one pound of such rock treated by them yielded one dollar

MEN AND WOMEN WANTED IN
 ARIZONA


 We want the fact understood iu California and the East, where laboring men and women are in excess of the demand, that by coming to Ari- zona. they will have no difficulty in finding steady employmcntat at remunerative wages Here tofore. we have been loth. yes. almost afraid. to invite immigrants to our Territory. but now, We believe, in fact know, that the time has arrived for us to hold ont the strongest kind of encour- agement to them to do so
 The present is the sixth year since whites first settled in this part of the Territory and in that short time they have demonstrated the fact that. despite Indians and every other drawback, they can make good living here. Then, just imagine what our people will do when the Indian ncu- bus, cloud, curse, or whatever you may call it vanishes. We have demonstrated the fact, that white people can live heTe that our country is rich in minerals that her soil produces luxuri- antly; we have explored the country for over two hundred miles east from Prescott, and know that it is heavily timbered, well watered, and an inviting region 10 settle in.
 Our great gold mine, the Vulture, at Wicken- burg, in this county, is, and has been, producing thousands of dollars every week, for the past two years, and just now, mining prospects never before looked so encouraging in the vicinity oi Arizona City, Eureka. La Paz Hardyyile and Prescott God has blessed the people of the Territory with abundant crops and the farmers will have no trouble to dispose of their grain etc, for fair prices. All that the Territory now stands in need of is workers, protection from In. diens, and the opening mp 10 travel of the 18th parallel route to New Mexico. Give her these and she will soon astonish eyen her friends.

WASHINGTON, November 1j.-The Naval

The time of maximum and Frequency of the
meteors was about five hours. when they
fell at the rate of about 25U0 per hour. The
radiant point was quite well defined during
the latter part of the shower, and was
found by estimation to be about l49 de-
grees in right ascension, and Zs degrees 30
minutes in declinatiOn. The trains were
unusually brilliant, presenting the various
shades OF green, orange. blue and red, and
remained visible for an unusual length OF
time.
Frequently as many as five could be seen
at once, presenting the appearance. when
nearly dissipated, of light, cirrus clouds.
The shower commenced several hours be-
fore it was expected, as it was predicted
last year that it would be seen in is6s only
