There is no business extant that requires
the exercise Of so much confidence to make
it successful as life insurance. It is pre-
sent investment, or sowing the seed for a
future reaping. It is the exercising of the
noblest feelings of our nature for the bene-
fit of our loved ores who remain behind
when we pass away. With many il is the
only provision they can make to secure
their families from want when they them-
selves pay the debt of nature.

Mali Service.

We must say that the Postmaster c eneral proposes to deal quite liberally with this Ter ritory in the matter of mail service, after July lst, of next year. If we understand his ad- yertisement for proposals correctly, Weaver and Walnut Grove, are, after that date, to be accommodated with weekly service. Weekly service will also be placed on the Mohaye route, from Prescott to San Bernardino, thus giving us two mails week to California. Service upon the latter route is greatly need cd, both for the accommodation of citizens and soldiers We also perceive that proposals for carrying weekly mail from Prescott to Turkey Creek, ria Lynx Creek, Big Bug and Woolsey's Ranch, are invited, and wish to inform the Depart ment that Turkey Creek has been deserted, consequently, there is no earthly use of in cluding it in the route. "Walker's," per manent, progressive mining camp on the head of Lynx Creek is left out in the cold and we would suggest that the Depart ment make it point on the route, instead of Turkey Creek With the service al ready promised us, and at least weekly serv. ice from Prescott to Albuquerque, New Mex ico, ria the route of the 35th parallel, VIC would have no reason to complain regarding proper mail facilities. Indeed, we feel cer tain, Cur reOple woul3 feel pretty we'll satis fled. We must, however, have direct com munication with the East, and VIC call upor Congress and the Department to let u have it.

its speedy completion. The route, from the present western termini of the road, has been carefully surveyed by competent engineers, all of whom have pronounced it the best and shortest. Almost every acre of land on or near it, is good for something. Coal is abun- dant, timber S plenty, mineral deposits are by no means scarce, water is plenty, and the climate of the entire route is all that could be desired. Can the advocates of the 32d say as much for their route They cannot.
 Then, again. it will build up our own coun- try, instead of Mexico and have its terminus at San Francisco, the only seaport on our side of the Pacific that has both foreign and interior trade

BACKED by the memorial of body styling itself the Fifth Legislature of Arizona, Rich ard c. Mccormick, the man who claim to be Delegate in Congress from this Territory. has succeeded in getting [.

We'll, Mac. was always fond of having his name as- sociated with anything likely to give him mo- torietys and, we presume, he felt this act would endear him to those who jerrymandered him into his present position. He knows that it is the earnest desire of large major ity of our people to have mail service placed on the route from Prescott to Albuquerque, but we have not learned that he has made a solitary effort to have it itestablished. Indeed. we have an idea that he would like to see this town deprived of all mail facilities, and we are not quite certain but that he gave countenance to certain scheme, started in Washington short time ago, to have all of Northern Arizona served with mail from the Gila route. His motto seems to be, Every thing for Tucson and nothing for the balance of the Territory.

A Comparison.

MR. EDITOR :-Thc importance, if not the absolute necessity, to this part of the Terri tory, of opening communication with St. Louis, Chicago, and the East generally, is be- ing considered and somewhat discussed. little business transaction may tend to throw some light on this subject; One fourth of the fines imposed and collected in Iavapai county, come into my hands, to be expended in the purchase of district law library, un- der the direction of the District Judge, ac- cording to the provisions of the Howell Code. Under this law ordered small bill of law books from San Francisco The bill rendered amounts to seyenty-two dollars. The cata- logue price of these books, furnished by ast- ern law book publishers, is sixty-seven dol lars and fifty cents. The usual discount for cash, on catalogue prices, is one-third. The discount on sixty-seven dollars and fifty cents, is twenty-two dollars and fifty cents,-oeing forty-hye dollars nett,-making difference of twenty-seven dollars between the San Francisco bill and what the same books would have cost in Chicago or New York. | This difference is against Iayapsi county in the cost of books for its law library, and re- suits mostly from the difference in buying at gold prices, and paying in greenbacks at sev- enty-fve cents on the dollar. The San Fran | cisco merchants purchase at the Elst for 1 greenbacks; they sell for gold, making not only the ordinary profits, but also the differ ence between gold and greenbacks This double profit is precisely what the consumer pays on all goods purchased and paid for in greenbacks. This is true on all goods except q few articles in the grocery line, such as tea and coffee. The California dealer buys at tine East for green backs, he sells for gold to the Arizona dealer and receives our greenbaoks at seyenty-ive cents and pays for the very same goods with the same greenbacks at one hundred cents on the dollar.
 Is it matter of surprise that San Fran cisco has been spreading herself ''like greer bay tree" at the expense of all who have been compelled to trade with her And is il any wonder that this part of Arizona has been struggling for the last i've years for bare existence. The Golden City has beer walked up from her golden dream by tho shrieks of the iron horse and is rubbing hel eyes and looking around to see what's the matter.
 Are not such facts an unanswerable argu ment in favor of a speedy change of busi ness and commercial base, either by means O ! shortest line to the nearest eastern railroad terminus. This accomplished, we would b' able to choose our place of purchasing goods buying in the cheapest market, and wher, the currency of the nation goes at par.
