HE WEEKLY ARIZONAN
THAT FREIGHT ROUTE.

It is now pretty generally accorded by the inhabitants of Southern ArizOBa, but more especially by those of Tucson and the i'm mediate vicinity, that the grandest stroke of oolicy which remains for them to perfect is to obtain from the Mexican government license to import merchandise by the Guaymas rou,s. We gre not aware that there is ayen one business man here who is not in favor of having this scheme perfected and it would bs something strange if not absolutely unac- copntable were this otherwise. Why should our merchants persist in paying l3 or IA cents usr pound for freight upon supplies imported bsrs from Saa Francisco via Fort Yuma when tbs operation of the route via Guaymas will enable them to receive their goods at an ex- penge, for freight, of , or cents As We rec marked upon a former occasion, ''considsra- tion for the settlers along the Gila road in times past seemed sufficient argument for ,ba retension of the Colorado river and Fort Yuma Route. This view of the matter, how ever has now become less judicious than charitable; and the people of this section can no longer afford 10 sacrifice their interests to a uhilanthropic regard for the coudi tionothsrs. We must make an effort to develop the min- sraI:resources of our section, snd such effort must prove futile unless we can procure an outlet for the products of our mines; hence the necessity for an outlet to the Gulf But 1t is unnecessary to pursue further an argument in the justice of which our readers here already aconiesce. The people, (thanks to our sug- gsstions and thtir own good judgnent,) hay
 jag become satisfied as to the advantages to aceras from the perfection of this measure,
 have set about the work of pushing it forward to e mpletion. A petition which has already been signed by most of our merchants and farmers vill 5a forwardel 10 the Inspector of .he Custom House at Guaymas-the petition stating the conditions under which the receivers will agree to bind thsmselvss to secure the .raBETJ ur Unes orsu a,se tI,.UugI cKIcsH UerrT
 tory without trespassing upon the cnstoms- revenue laws Of that State l. is very proba- sls indeed, that this petition will, itself &C., eonplish the object intended, as the people of Sonora are already alive to the advantages to accrue to thsm from the O. erston of ,his route. Let no further time be wasted in studying over this project already judiciousy aud wisely considered, but push the matter 1t once to an issue while it is fsyorably consider sd on all sides.

'rYHo Is RIGHT AGAIN"

Under this head theSan Luis 0bispo Tribune discusses the question, whether, it were more judicious and humane to employ extreme ar- si6ce in conducting hostilities against the Apache Indians, (a tribe proverbially treacher, Oos( as recommended by ns, or to proceed against them openly and 'hunt them down like wild beasts" wh;ch is the course it recom- msnds. Well, we do not propose to discuss this question further than to show the manner in which it appears to us that the argument of the Tribune as well as our own, is right: It is, perhaps, only a sense of injury engen- dered by actual subjectiOn to outrage at their hands, that would justify the measure We have proposed in conducting hostilities against the Apaches; and the people of Arizona having for years been subjected to every class of out rags that devslish brain could invent and savage hands execute, and failing at all times to receive either protection or redress. have reached that point at which forbearance ceases to De yirtns. Hence we maintain thatAri- zOnans are not called npon to regard as 'atrocious" any measure however extreme. in the protection of which may be fancied security or redress. It would be unfair, how ever, to expect Our contemporary, who knows not the Apache from actual experiences and who has not been ard is not subjected to out rage at his hands, to acquiesce in our extreme opinions, and when we pronounced it's charity inexcusable and cOHtemptible we did SO as an Arizonau aud not as a Californian Ia fact the Tribune in discussing this matter show, itself anything but nnlrisndly to the onFor,p- nate settlers ia Arizona. It says:
 We can readiiy put ourselves in the place ot our Arizona neghbors. Ws do do ii. From

YOU'RE ANOTHER

For having exposed the halfway manner in
 wbich Mr Elers performed his duty in Arizo, na as Deputy Commissioner ofMines Gov Saf- rorus satarivd adyuca5e Ur fraud, yclepod John Wasson, to the best of bis feeble ability att
 tempts, through the columns of the Citizen, to vindicate the said Eilers in his objectionable
 neglect aud to show that we have mierepres- ented his coarse. The fact is that this man Wasson, while he hopes to keep his paper aaoat at the expense of the people of Southern Arizona, is ever ready to oppose their interests by advocating the course of any disinterested government official who may choose to make capital by neglecting or misrepresenting the Territory. We are told that Prof Eilers, after 1.-two weeks of persistent endeavor" failed 10, procure an escort of citizens necessary to en- able him to visit the mines of this Section Now. every citizen of Tucson knows this state ment to have been made without any regard for truth or modesty, as 8 hundred Mexicans and eighteen or twenty Americans eau at any time be obtained for purpose such as this. The truth is that more than two-tdirds of the people of Tucson never learned that Prof. Ei- lers had visited Tucson until after he had taken his departure from the Territory-which was exactly the case with us. Indeed, had his visit been intentionally clandsstine ne doubt whether it could have been more efectnaly in cog.
 We repeat that Mir. Elers most shamefally and barefacedly neglected to perform his duty iu Southern Arizona, and the fact that he nev- CT visited mine or mining district in this sec- ton is proof positive of the truth of this The excuse that "Mr. Eilers was limited in his ex.. penditures to Sl, 7OO," will not stand investi- gation unless it can be shown that this sum Has to have been expended in examining and reporting upon the mines of Northern Arizona to the secusion of all others The people of Arizona, however, believe that the sum named was intended to enable the Prof to examine she mines cf Arizona, not those of ons parti- cular section

PRE-EMPTING TIMBER LANDS.
LEFT HAND.

The following is a summary eff recent bill pass ed by the House, reported in the Senate, read twice by title, aud referred to the Committee on Public Lands.
 <The bill provides in the first section, that every on de settlor in either of the Territories of the United States shall have the right of pre-em ption to one hundred and sixty acres of non-mineral land in the Territory, and that the fact of such settler having heretofore had tbe benefit of the pre- emption act of September 4th, 1941, of lands outside the limits of the Territory shall interpose no bar to his or herreceiving the bene- fit of this act. The second section provides that each homestead and pre-emption claimant in the Territory, upon the presentation at the proper dis trct land office, of satisfactory proof that there
 is not au was not at the time of entry any valu- able timber upon the tract located by such claimant, shall have the right to enter not e1ceeds ing forty acres of non-mineral land, over which the Government surveys have been extended, and not moro than twenty five miles distant from the tract located by such homestead or presumption claimant. But only bona fde settlers, actually resident upon their respective tracts to have the right to make ueh entries of timber land
 and such entries to be made subject to such neediul rules and regulation may be prescribed by the Secretary of tho Interior and the 0ommis- sioner of the General Land Office, for the proper enforce ment of this act and the forty acres of timber land are to be included in and form part of the pre-emption of one hundT ed and sixty aeres."

EDITOR AaIzoNAE-I dislike very much Go treepsss upon your columns. but would really ike to know if the supervisors of this county would not ba doing greater act of humanity 1T, having tho prisoners fill up the old wells than working upon the tsrests for the special benefit of property owners ?
 Within the past three weeks the lives of two persons came near heinz lost, (Dr Jenuing and son of Mir, Torpy) by these terrible nuis- ances, and still no notice is ts ken of them by the supervisors It is true that it fig tho duty of the grand jury to notice such things, but I simply wish to enquire why the supervisors cannot in their naGgnanimity devise more speedy and economical remedy by using the prisoners for that purpose.
