Wo.D TO FARNERs.--WithOut wishing to scem wiser than our fellow citizens of the agri- cultural persuasion, we wish to say few words to those men who toll in the field from morn till night, in order to support themselves and their families. pay taxes. etc. Another harvest is ap- preaching. and with the favor of God, it will be a bountiful ono. Soon, Government will need more corn, fodder, etc, and contracts will have to be let for supplying the posts with these vari ous commodities. for which Government is able and ought to pay fair prices. When contract time comes around, each farmer wishing to dis pose of his produce to Government, should make out proposal to furnish whatever he may have to furnish, at price or prices little above the cost of production, furnishing. etc. and we feel certain that their bids will be accepted. Do not, some of you did. last fall. enter into league to furnish grain at a certain price. That mode will not win. You tried 1t once, and 1t came we'll nigh working your ruin. Do not undertake, publicly, to force Government to buy your pro duce at O certain price Action of that sort would look extremely bad at Headquarters, especially when represented in it's darkest light, in which light 1t would, most assuredly, be rep resented. There are other modes by which you can assist each other to hold your grain until such time as purchasers come along and offer you the valne of it. Should the mining enter prises now being carried on prove successful, of course, you will not have to rely solely, upon the Government to buy your produce. The successful working of our mines will give em- ployment to many more teams. at home, as well as to many more freight teams. and, as a conse- quence, new demand will spring up for grain hay, fodder, etc.
 Again. farmers should turn their attention more to the raising of wheat, and our merchants should. in time, send for the seed. Next fall, we will have one or more Touring mills in this sec ton of the country. but we regret that they will not find much to do, owing to the fact that bu little wheat will this year be raised. Yet, VI cannot blame the farmers for this. Wheat, tc mature and do well in this section of the Terri tory, should be sowh late in the fail and. las fall, 1t was impossible to procure seed wheat II the country. However, we think like circum stance will not occnr again. and we sncerel, hope 1t will not We consume enormous auan titles of -four and bacon, for which we pay Cali fornia great deal of money. This is entirel wrong. We can and must raise our own hou and bacon, and until we do. times here will b. tight, and money matters short.

Letter from R. W. Groom.

The following letter,-written by R. ". Groom, one of the best prospectors on this Coast-to his friend and partner, Geo.sc Monroe, of this place, should go great ways towards satisfying all persons in this vicinity who may feel inclined to go to White Pine:
 Los VEGAS, Nevada, May g, 1869.
 We have got along so far Q20 miles from Hardyville and 22j from White Pine). We intend to strike off the road into the noun tans from this place, prospecting The bed rock of the country hereabouts don't look favorable to me. We meet, almost every day, parties from White Pine, going south. They don't know where and don't care so they get out of white Pine. They give unfavorable accounts of the prospects up there-ten men leaving to one coming in. A great many are going to Arizona and a great many more would go there but for the Apaches.
 You will probably have heard of the death of poor Jim Sheldon, they caught him be. tween Camp Willow Grove and the Cotton. woods, three miles from the Post, and abou, one mile behind the train. We are amongst the Pah-Utes now; they say here that they are friendly, and they appear to be. Plenty of Small Pox at White Pine We are not in much of hurry to get there.
 We came through tho famous mining dis. trict of Fl Dorado Canyon. They have a ten stamp mill and say the rock pays S6O Gall silyer).
 will be back there some time this fall sure, if live, for this is miserable countr, compared to that in any sense. Take sixty or seventy miles square of Central Arizona including Wickenburg and Prescott, and ex tending east and believe that it will be when developed and worked, the most pro ductiye mining district in the world.
 Yours truly, R. W. GRooM.

WERE 1t not for past and present developments made in the mines of this section of Arizona many faint-hearted men.-displeased with the slow progress the country has made-would no doubt, long since, have loft it and tried their luck in some other section Of Uncle Samis broad domain. We, ourseif, at times, have felt as though we wished to emigrate from a country that, since its acquisition, has advanced at a snail's pace. But, when we come to seriously contemplate removal, and compare the mineral wealth known to exist here with that of any of the popular. hashy mining regions of the present day, -e become satisfied, and generally conclude to wait for the good time that is bound to dawn upon Arizona, We have here, mines as rich and as large as any in the world, yet, owing to our isolation, the hostility of our savage population, and many other causes. we have, so far, failed to enrich ourselves by working them. and to make the great outside world "see itr We now, how ever have reason to believe that it will not be long before things will assume different aspect The outside world, st least that portion of it's people that have watched the career of our Ter ritory, now believe what they have heretofore doubted-that the country is rich in mineral; that 1t Is blessed with good climate. well tim bered, tolerably we'll wstered, besides, contain ing immense tracts of farming and grazing lands. Knowing this. it is fair to presume that they will, henceforth. direct their attention and their foot steps hitherward, as we believe they are now doing. The old-time fallacy abont this Territory being parched-up desert has long since been exploded, and men know better now. General PsiRsr's report on the country bordering the 18th parallel line, will enlighten the people of the East and the Press and citizens of the Terri tory have about converted the people of Cali fornia, Oregon, and Nevada from their old ideas, by making known to them the truth in regard to the country Let us keep on laboring to prove our assertions, until we shall have convinced all that Arizona is really good country to live and make money in.

STAGE UPsEr,-The San Bernardino Guar dIGn, of the 5th inst, says that on Wednes- day, as the La Paz stage, loaded with about half a ton of mail matter, besides passengers, went out through San Gorgonio Pass, the driver, by some mishap, got off the road. and when on the top of San Jacinto Mountain. upset, making a wreck of the coach, but luck fly, injuring none of the passengers very severely. Mir N. Noble, the contractor, hear ing of the accident, went out the same night, to start the load for its destination.

ApyEnnsIyC.-W sounded upon the sub feet of advertising many merchants and business men have been known to say that they adyer- tised their business in a certain paper oi papers. merely for the sake of helping the paper or pa pers along and not for any benefit that might accrue to them from advertising as they did not look for any.-in fact knew before inserting their advertisements. that no trade would flow to them by fishing for it in that way. Now. with all due dcfercnce to the opinions of this class Of persons, we wish to announce our total disbelief in their misconceived opinions. and will cite facts to prove that advertising when dealt in iiberaiiy and shrcwdly. brings trade to those who use 1t as bait to catch people seeking 10 purchase goods. talent. etc. Our readers know that an advertise ment descanting upon the virtues of "Hostetter's Stomach Bitlers" has appeared regularly in the MINER for several months past tand it is a pay. | ing advertisement, too for we publish no dead head advertisements, preferring to il our space with reading matter, at a cost of one dollar in | gold for every few inches of type in a column) | Well. not long ago, gentleman. who was affiic. ted with some of the ills for which the Bitters arc said to be a certain cure, entered the store o Gray 6 Co.,. in this town, MINER in hand. pointed to the advertisement saying that he wished tC purchase several bottles of the Bitters. The nex | case in point is that of Baker & Hamilton. hard ware merchants. San Francisco They advertis, in the MINER, and pay us liberally for their ad vertisement, and we know that by 90 doing they will make something out of this community. as already, Campbell BuiTutn, one of the heavies merchants in the Territory. have, on the strengtl of the advertisement in the MINER. written then for list of prices, with view of ordering, soon a large bill of such articles as they deal in. w nigh, go on and enumerate other proofs to sus tain the fact that advertising does pay, has paid and will continue to pay, but think enough ha already been said upon the subject by cursel and thousands of others.

GENERAL HALLEcK.-This able, courteous, gentlemanly officer, has been relieved from command on this coast, and ordered to pro- ceed South. While welcoming his successor, General Thomas, the San Francisco papers profess to regret, (and we really believe they are sincere in their regrets), the removal of General Halleck from their city. We, too, regret it, simply for the reasons that he had clear ideas regarding Indian affairs here. and was, we believe, true friend to the Terri tory.
The weekly Arizona miner., 1869-06-19

WHITE PISE.--We have no desire to write down White Pine, or any other mining sec ton, still the truth must be told, even though it should cause stocks to topple We had believed that a mining region of some con siderable extent had already been discovered in that country, but letters heretofore pub lished by us, and those which appear m this issue, have shaken our faith in the Poor Mans Paradise Everybody, hereabouts, knows John M. Boggs, Billy Gavin, L. B. St. James, R. W. Groom, and other Arizonians, who have written back from the land of silver, and they know them to be reliable gentle men, expert prospectors, and good miners, and cannot help believing what they say of White Pine, and the region of country be- tween it and the Colorado river. Therefore, we direct attention to the letters in another column, and if they do not satisfy them that this is, in every respect, better, richer coun- try than White Pine, or any part of Eastern Nevada, we won't quarrel with them. In addition to the testimony furnished by the gentlemen named, we have seen letter from Judge W. T. Flower, another old Arizona miner, now at White Pine. The Judge says he missed it bad by going there, and will leave as soon ss he can, for this part of the world, after which he now ''hankers" amaz- ingly.

GOVERNOR saFroRD was to have taken hi.

GOVERNOR SaFroRD was to have taken his departure from San Francisco for this Terri tory, on the steamer of the 5th inst. We understand that he intends visiting the south ern portion of the Territory before coming here. Letters from men of standing and character in San Francisco, speak very highly of him. Being thoroughly posted on mines and mining, it is quite natural to conclude that he will take up his residence somewhere north of the Gila.

WHILE in Prescott, recently, wm. II. Hardy, of Hardyville, in this Territory, told us that Judge Watts, of New Mexico, and others had, or were about to locate floating grant upon Wallspai mountain, which lies near the 35th Parallel Rail- road route. How they came by this grant is it Is certain. While praying that our Territory will not, as California has been, cursed by land sharks in the shape of Mexican Grant holders, their selection of lands in the northern part of the Territory, adjacent to the line of the pro- posed railroad, Is straw that shows which way The railroad breeze is blowing

Letter from Chicago.

CHICAGO. May 10. 1869.
 ED MEER.-Ths has been much of day of iubilation in this city for Chicago has celebrated with wild enthusiasm tue great eveai of the age. The completion of the Railroad across the continent is certainly the grandest enterprise of any age or country. This city came mp to the occasion, in all her wonted, whole soulcdness," and arrayed herself in splendOr. The turnout in procession was grand, and the presence of the Vice President of the United States gave great eclo4 10 the occasion. For Mr. Coliax is great favoriic in the Northwest Wherever he Is pres ent there is good time.
 Already shipment of tea from Japan to Chi caso, has been made over the continent. and this is but beginning of that immense trade which is to spring up between the Occident and Orient. Already the capacity of the road is taxed to its utmost to do the business demanded-at least. three roads across the continent will be deman- ded and built during the next ten years.
 In my last, some plain words were spoken of our public servants, civil and military. Now l wish to present q few facts to show that there was no severity or injustice in what was said. For have no disposition to missrcpresent or malign those in authority. Alter Congress had incuba- ted about six weeks on a nest of added eggs we find the following nice little items that then and there laid by that brood of Congressional fouls. Fortunately for the people they were not matched. There were introduced into the Sen. ate bills granting government lands and moneys for various purposes of the following amounts;
