The weekly Arizona miner., 1870-07-23
The Day is Breaking,

what rapture does he hail the morning suT' He feels that the darkness that has enshrouded him will soon pass away, and that the sun ln all his beauty and glory, will soon arise, to illumine his path and cheer him on his way Even such feeling now animates the people of Arizona. We have passed through the dark md stormy night; beset by perils and 1 dangers of the most disheartening eharhcteri surrounded by the most treacherous and blood thirsty savages that ever cursed the earth: who have retarded our progress, and prevented the settlement and development oi our rich and beautiful Territory. They have infested every road, trail, and pass through the country, and robbed and murdered the traveller They have robbed and mr0ered the farmer and miner. The news of these disasters, and the insecurity of life and prop erty in this Territory, has been spread throughout the country, and has restrained and prevented immigration; particularly that kind of immigration which we so much need, | of men of capital, and means to develop our boundless resources. Truly, we have passed through a dark and gloomy night. But the day is breaking. Ahead we see the signs of the approaching dawn. The sun of prosper | ity will soon arise in all bis beauty and spendor, and dispel the darkness and gloom | in which we have been SO long enveloped. II an argument were wanting in support of the hope and confidence we here express, that q brighter and better day is about to dawn up- on us, it can be found in the peculiarly har-
 E,onioas organization of the civil and mili-
 tary Departments of the Territory.
 Our Governor is live man, and one who
 embodies in himself, in an eminent degree, all
 those qualities which are necessary 10 make
 up the competent and honorcd Executive oI
 great and rich Territory, which is bound to
 make one of the richest States in the Union
 He was not imported for the occasion, but i,
 an old resident of the Pacific coast, and as al honest miner, has long wielded the pick anc shovel, and knows all about the hopes anC
 fears, the sutferings and privations of tn
 pioneer. Active and energetic, he travel
 over the Territory that he may himself SC
 and know of its resources He explores tn
 agricultural districts, and dives into the mines
 Kind, affablc, courteous and intelligent, h ;. commands the respect and confidence of al with whom he comes in contact. And besid Y all this, he has an abiding confidence in th
 vast mineral wealth and the great -aGrirn h tural resources of our Territory, and seen IS determined to do all in his power to promo'
 the best interests of the people, and to tn
 end he will heartily cooperate with the mil
 tary authorities in their efforts to subdne th
 accursed Apache. Surely the day is breal I. ing.
 The arrival of the gallant and accomplishe
 General Stoneman among us, as commando
 of the Military Department of Arizona, In infused new life and hope into the peopl
 After being for five years attached to the D n. pertinent of California, with headquarters h. San Francisco, nearly one thousand mil ri. away, and our Indian affairs all the time b pr coming no better, il is no wonder that O y people welcome the gallant General wi ar hearts full of hope and confidence. For ye General Stoneman we to not recognize t
 
 re- accomplished chieftain, around whose ho it's ored brow already circle laurels sufficient as satisfy the ambition of any man; for Is fame is part of the history of his counti to His energy and determination are we'll know k and it only remains for the authorities he Washington to do their part, in furnish
 him with the necessary troops, and he W lid soon put an end to our Indian troubl mo Then what magnificent field is before ,ot Mines of incomparable richness and bour h. Jess extent; agricultural lands capable
 producing all the grains, fruits and vege ng bles of temperate and tropical zones; bro ell pasture lands capable of sustaining countl ar millions of cattle, horses and sheep; abl of dance of good timber; the finest and best be water; and add to all this healthy a
 most delightful climate, and the most be- pm tiful scenery, and we have enumerated so lsh of the resources of Arizona.
 'th Men vf large mining experience are n lr- among us, looking at our mines, and the pes cIities we have for working them; and 'n' are glad to know that they express the m hs, unbounded confidence, both in their richn iat and their vast extent. Then let us cheer 'k- No more looking back "let the dead ? me bury its dead" Now is not the time to ia or falter. Let us press on with renewed ,, ergy and determination, and the victory ' .rr soon be ours. Courage, Arizonisns! for night is nearly past, and the day is breaki
