The weekly Arizona miner., 1868-12-12

HuGaArioN.--0f late we have seen many letters from people in other Territories and the States, inquiring about Arizona, and udg ing from these letters, Nc may safely count upon receiving large addition to our popu- lation next spring. MT John Littig of this place, has received a letter from bis father, who resides in Iowa, which states that he, with about 20O families, will start for Pres colt early in the spring. Mr. Levi Bashford, has shown us letter from R. C. Hull, former ly of Prescott and now of Cheyenne, Da- kota, which staies that many families are pre- pairing to leave Cheyenne for Prescott, in the spring We extract as follows from Mr Hulrs letter;
 My success in life has been variable since left Prescott, and think of returning in the spring Several families will leave here for Prescott, Arizona, next March lam con stantly beseiged with inquiries in regard to ! Arizona, her resources, agricultural and min | eral and from what l can learn the emigra- l tion there will be quite considerable the com l ing year.
 Letters of similar purport are received here | by every mail, from New Mexico, Kansas and | California, and it would not surprise us to l see thousands of new faces in Northern Ari- zona next summer. Let them come, they will be heartily welcomed, and will, we feel certain, be well satisfied with our country 1 Far be it from us to encourage people tC come here were we not positive that by SC doing they can better their condition in life We paint this section of Arizona as it really is, and the fact that nearly every person whc has left here within the last three or fOu years, wishes to return, Is conclusive eyi dence that the country is a good one. Immi grants will here find mild. healthy climate plenty of timber, grazing and agriculture lands, mines of silver gold, copper and othe metals as rich as any in the world. Witt very little labor our soil produces corn, wheat barley. oats, etc, and for Irish potatoes Yavapai county beats Bodega. Laborers am mechanics are in demand. The former re ceiye from $50 to SlO0 per month in gold besides board. Carpenters and other trades men receive from SC to Sl0 per day in gold Good quartz miners are badly needed il Yavapai Yuma and Mohave counties Ari zona has been written down as desert, b. men who knew nothing of the Territory, bu the few settlers in the country have proyel the writers of these stories 10 be absurd vii liflers. The only bar to our prosperity is tn savage Indian, and his race is nearly run The troops now in the Territory understan, the aborigine, and are making it warm fo him. We have every reason to hope tha our appeals to the General Government lav not been unheeded, and more troops vii shortly arrive here. Every pound of grail raised here is worth from six to ten cents il gold. Our placer mines give employment t many men, and we now know that quart : mining can be successfully and proiitabl prosecuted notwithstanding the high price of labor and provisions. So, we say to ever, industrious man and woman who wishes L emigrate to Arizona, come right along, ther
 is plenty of room and plenty of everything else that people live for. Now is the time ( locate valuable land at or near the line of th 3jth Parallel Railroad.
