To he Eii,ors of he Hri,Oaa Miner:
 Spring time has come the faint, glimoer- ing hope so long concealed in mist and doubt now shines forth in uDdoubted truth and splendor. The black cloud, like foneral pall so long hanging over your beautiful Ter ritory has, at last, been dispersed. to the great joy and delight of all Arisonans.
 If there ever existed, on the face of the earth, people deserving of credit for perse- verance, fortitude, bravery snd uHyielding determination, it is the pioneers of Arizona. Monuments of gold should mark the resting place of every departed pioneer; the living, it is to be hoped, will inherit and receive . fair reward, at least so far as dollars and cents are concerned.

The many trials, hardships and difficulties to which the early settlers Of Arizona have been ! exposed. are not to he told in brief letter. | Many hundreds of pages will be written in ] detailing the hardships and horrible butchery ! of ArizOna's pioneers, by the Apache Indians. | Always cheerful, always sanguine, they per sisted, beyond a parallel never yielding a point when believeing they were right. ' Through all their long sufferings and trials, they have remained steadfast and true to
 their faith in the great future of Arizona. After all this, and after having been, (by
 somet ]. called fools fur their persisteBoy and
 hardihood, in risking their lives and fortunes
 in attempting to develop country like Ari-
 zona-I say, after all this, how happy must
 be the thoughts of every one who has SO man.
