Our Mine i1 Arizona,

On the eve of the departure oi Gov Stafford for Arizona, on bidding him good bye, we re- marked to him that he was going to a good country the great mine of the world wonld be discovered this year in that Territory He asked us why we made such prediction and We answered that 1t was necessary, and, as every thing comes in the right time, the discovery of the great Arizona treasure could not be much longer delayed. As he'still appeared not to un- derstand us, We explained that when the Gen. tral Pacific Railroad had become a necessity the dscoverery Of the Comstock took away the terror of the Great Basin and made the task comparatively easy. So, when the business of the State languished. White Pine was discover ed, to drive away the stagnation and 10 rouse the hopes of men. And now that the road is finished, and the people from the East would begin to fill up this basin by thousands, where only hundreds were before, as Idaho and Montana were already we'll ex plored, their na-

Under this head, the Los Angeles Star ol the 10th inst. has an article in which the object of comPany, forming in San Francisco for the purpose of prospecting and developing mines in Arizona, is severely criticised. We have taken pains to obtain some information regarding this subject, and find the facts to be as follows;
 Some persons who had been in Arizona, al. tracted by the mineral wealth ofthe country, advertised for others to join them, that cOm- pany, posse ssing sufficient capital to support itself for one year, night be formed. Governor Stafford was, at this time, in San Francisco and called upon the parties so advertising. He had, 1t this time, never been in Arizona, but was anxious to encourage all enterprises of that character. The specimens of ore exhibited were veryrich, andwere saidto have been found by soldiers while on scouting excursion; but no one pretended thatenough was known about the lode to establish it's value as fixed fact It was believed and stated hy the parties get ting up the organization, that if sufficient numDeF OL Lueu COulu OS DIOuB nS AOS OSCthClJ "O4A armed, and with means to sustain themselves for the first year, Arizona offered a fairer field for mining enterpris SC, with better prospects of success, than any other part of the North American continent. We do not suppose that this opinion is likely to meet with opposition from any person acquainted with this Terri tory. So far as it has been prospected it has been found immensely rich in gold and silver quartz lodes and placer gold mines but from want of means, and through the hostility of the Indians, very little, thus far, has been done toward their development. The parties getting up the company informed Governor Stafford that the members were mostly strangers to each other, and to insure fair dealing, and give confidence, requested that he should act as President. He informed them that so long as he was satisfied that the company was acting bona fdc, and with view 10 the development of the Territory, he would serve them freely, in any capacity they might desire; this is all the part he has taken in the premises We can confidently assert that if the company's 1T oney be subjected to his control not dollar will be mis- appropriated; and we are equally conf- dent that if the object of the company be car ried ont in good faith, it win prove of great ad- vantage to Arizona and profitable to the com pany,

THE THANKING PRIVILEGE.

There seems to be a mis-apprehersion as to the law about franking and 1t has frequently been asserted nere that all con municatious sent to our Delegate in Congress must be pre- paid. The fact is that not only all written or printed matter sent by him is free, but all sent to him is also free. Any of his constituents who wish to grite to him or to send him any printed matter may do 50 without money and without price ;'' always, of course, addressing him in his official capacity
 The fifth clause, of Sec. 42, ofan act of Con- gress approved March Sd, 1863, is as follows :; Statutes at Large, Vol I2. page 7O8.)
 Fifth. Senators and representatives in the Congress oftne United States, including Dele- gates from Territories to cover communications to and from them, and all printed matter is> sued by authority ofCongress, and all speeches, proceedings and debates in Congress, and all printed ID alter sent to them their frankng privilege to commence with the term for which they age elected and to expire on the first Mon day of December following such term of office
 In this connection, as there seems to be a similar misunderstanding upon it, we print an act ot congress ln relation to tranked matter, approved June lst 1864 Statutes at Large, Vol. l3, page 95.)
 "All communications relating to the official business of the Department to which they are addressed, of whatever origin, addressed to the several executive departments of the Govern ment, or to such principal off eezs of each ex- ecutye department, being heads of bureaus or chief clerks, or one duly authorized by the postmaster general to frank official matter, shall be received and conveyed by mail free Of postage without being endorsed official business or with the name ofthe writer"
 By this it will be seen that the various con- municatiOns sent from the Territory both by military and civil officers to the Departments in Washington go without stamps and need not sven be marked official business, or with the name of ths writer

tnraI path would be to the south we heec . ra;Iroad to the Colorado, and beyond to tide water. The country also needs southern road i, to cross from the western coast to texas ana tba branch to St. Louis, Memphis, Shreveport and Galreston. And so wereasoned that every tbiug tn 6einr ready, it was foregone conclusion tbat 2 great mine must be found this year m Arizona ;1 and, as there must be difficulties and snfferin attendant on the journey to it, ln or
 der to make rush there, we told Stafford that it would probably be found about in July or Gnrnst when in those southern plains 1t was bo, enouoh to scorch a lizard. Seiford laughed g, ns then; told us mockingly that we should be I,cated and that record ot our prophecy ,bould be kept in the State archives And so we separated, But yesterday, chancing to pick m an old paper, we saw where Gov Stafford with aa expedition of 20 men was about to start to solve the mystery of some mines which had been discovered by some prospectors and which were described as rich beyond calculation. The parties finding the mines, it seems, were driven away be Indians, and could only report that what they had seen was wonderful. That is no doubt our mine; and no doubt the next rush will begin for Arizona about the hottest of the dog-days-InEand Empire

Some Queer Calculations.

9l HAvE you not often heard, or rrnd,
statement like this? "The earth has been
dug over many times 10 bury the millions
who have lived on its surface" DoIyou
belive this If you do, just follow melin
a c6lculatons The present population of
the earth is one thousand millions. Nov,
suppusfng that at the creation there were
one thousand millions-instead OF one
pair--and Mt the end of thirty years, they
died and were buried, and their places
taken by another one thousand millions;
and so ON through,t the six thousand Years.
This would give us q grand. total OF two
hundred thousand (200 1000, ,000, ,000) mil
lions. Where can this immense and al
most inconceivable number be bNriGl
Let us see. The earth surface is 100000
900 of square miles. This. nlultiphedlby
27, ,S7S, 400 (the number of square feet ia II
milc), and the product divided by two
hundred million, gives 55,756 square feet
for each and every one of this vast ntim-
| ber This brought into y square gives the
very respectable sized lot of 236 feet each
way, or nearly Ia RODS square.
Not very much Crowding or digging
over and over again, is there? Decidedly
better sized lots than Cedar Hill or Spring
Grove affords If you think am wrong,
go over with the calculation and convince
yourself Another little calculation, II you
please How much room, think, You,
would the thousand millions now ON the
earth require to stand upon were they all
brought togetherY Figures willP tell.
Draw circle ten miles in diameter on
some smooth plain, and place. a church
bell in the center, and every one of the
| 900, 100000 could hear il when Struck.
Such circle would give to each Of this
immense number two square tectT-or u
space about seventeen inches square.
Rather more crowded than the burying-
ground, l admit but still more than
enough for the small nGes, rather scant
perhaps, for the Lamberts-yet, On the
whole, a very good average Don't you
think such u gathering would beat the
Hub Jubilee? Perhaps Gilmore will try
it. He can do It If anybody can. The
only trouble is, Boston does not afford a
Iispot large enough aud Of course j could
never be done anywhere else,-H43dfYord
