Arizona Affairs.

Without the boundaries of our Territory the people of Arizona have no stronger advocate of their interests and no mere willing ex- ponent of their neglected condition, than our enterprising contemporary of San Diego the Union. We clip the following from late num- Der of the daily
 The intelligence daily received from Ariz O. na shows that Indian affairs in that unhappy Territory are growing continually worse. Itis safe to say that at no time since the American occupation of the country, have the Apachss held more complete and unobstructed sway their murders aad dspredations are no longer confined to those sections supposed to be their particular haunts, but are extended to the hitherto uamoleSted portions of the Territory lying between Fort Ynma and Maricopa Wells. Indeed, at the present time, throughout the ''Gadsden Purchase" (smbrac ing the Territo' ries of Arizoua and New MexicO) and in North westeru,, Sonora, these bloodthrsty savagss ara engaged in murder, rapiDs and devastation.

About Diamonds.

The following letter to the editer of the Miner, written at Drum Barracks, California, should be of some interest to prospectors in Arizoaa, as it is known that diamonds exist in this Territory:
 "You speak of 'diamonds' in late iIsue, and want some information about them. judge it not at all unlikely that some have been found in Arizona, and would advise those engaged in mining to keep sharp look out for precious stones, Diamonds are always found Tn alluvial soil In South America and Russia they are discovered in the debris of 8 kind of alluvial quartz (laminated) contain ing iron; aud in India in conglomerate of quartz. They are likely to abound in just such rocks as abound in Arizona, and which yield the best gold of her wonderful mines. There is only one crystal for which diamonds are apt to be mistaken, and those are quarts crystals. Quarts crystahzes in long, six-sided prisms with six-sided pyramid generally at one end only, though sometimes at both. They are es, silly broken and exhibit no particular clenvage. Diamonds, on the contrary, do not occur iu long prisms, or very rarely, but take tho form of two four-sided pyramids, joined together at their bases, (making an eight-sided figure. There is also this peculiarity The faces of the diamond are frequently curved, go that the rough gem looks rather round or spherical Quartz crystals are never so The diamond is also very dificultto fracture. If crystal sup. posed to be diamond flies in pieces by 6 smart blow ol 8 hammer, you needn't get s gold ring set in it-it is probably quartz. The scratching of glass isno test, as quartz scratch- es glass as well as diamond Heat Is a good common test you can put diamond in any { ordinary fire, and though it IS only charcoal, | (carbon), 1t will not burn but a quarts crys,- tai will crack, if the fire is hot enough. It is . a mistake to suppose that all diamonds are coloress, some are red, some blue, some yelr low, etc. Another test for diamond is, if rub- 1 bed on the coal stove 1t will become electric, and attract small bits of paper. Quartz will not need not speak of the brilliaucy of diamonds when polished but, unpublished, quartz often looks better than rough diamonds. It is pos- sibIe that in the sluvial washings of Arizona diamonds may be found and washed out fthe sand.
 And now, friend Marion, fl you find 6 good ons, just SC nd it to me, and I will thank you kindly"

The Lot of a. Real Marquis.

The Los Angeles Escning Express gives the following remarkable,i if not quite roman tic, career of an Italian Marquis who has worked his way into the plsbsian ranks and become tinker:
 The old saying that truth is stranger than fiction, was never more fully verified than in the present instance. Giacomo Gruigi Adel- verto Montretalo, fourth sou of the late Mar. quis of Corabono, the descendant of an an clent and princsly race, first saw the light of day in the venerable palace of BOrdotO de Coro60no, (a domain on which absnihcient na ture had Iavishsd all her gifts, was that of of BordotO.) The early years fhislifs were as ssd in the college of San Giovani at Rome, 1t being the intention ot the late Marquis to procure for his son an education that would m ake him the equal in point of learning, of ltAly's most learned HteratI. While in college his studies, for which he was eminenty fitted, consisted of ethics, philosophy, political econ- omy, geography, classics, machiavalo, and all the higher branches of literature, and so rapidly drained he the pirean fount, that on his nineteenth birth day he received ct the hands of the venerable maestro GiusspPi Ver' delomo, the grand Sondolfo medal of merit O the order of San Pietro And on leaving tho Holy City received as mark Especial favor the Ponti6cal benediction His next toartesr years were spent at ths home of his youth roaming the giddy cliff. of his native noun tains hunting the chamois, visiting differen parts of the kingdom, and occasionally going to Naples on visits of courtesy to his hing, of whom he was loyal subject. During his last visit, his majesty selected for him wife in the person of the princess Margarett' \ Frisco di Strady, maiden of snrpassing love I Illness.
 Two months from the day of his marriage and while sn route to the pstsrnsl palace O I the Corobono's and while anticipating bu hours of bliss more lasting than sphsmeral, il the society of his lovely partner, the wild CT of the rufianly followers of Pietro Dardallot penetratsd the carasso, another moment ha' elapsed and Giacomo was unconscious. Whe he recovered consciousness, his head was bsin bathed by Captain Corporette, of the King dragoons, but nowhere was visible her Wh but two moons previously had become tn con6ding partner of his bosom. Search wit all possible haste was made, the dsfles pc ne tratsd but to no avail. Seven days subse queutly brought forth the sequel. 1he lady Ihead was sent snclosed to the Carobono pal see with the accompanying note;
 G1ACoMo DI CoRoBoNo :-Ysu led the King troops in search of ne. My intention was | secure you and not your wife, but the nea approach ofdragoOn, defeated the accomplish m.nt oF my wish 8. Your father, once, With out cause, struck me- Revenge.

Arizona Hail Facilities.
From the L. 4. Star,

AO4n tA4o 4<s ]A' 0tt.f
 On Friday last, the Chanbsr of Commerce of San Francisco held specisI meeting, at which petition was presented by certain mer-. chants in San Francisco, praying for increased mail facilities for Arizona, by the way of San Bernardino, in Caifornia, and Wickeu5erg aud Prescott, Arizoua. The petitioners justly represent the increased population ot Central Arizona during the paat two yeers, iha great develop Ement ofIts mineral and agucul,ursl ra- sources, and the urgent necessity for increased mail facilities, to keep up with the progress Of the Territory A mail line will soon be in full operation between AIbuquerqus and 3res- cott which will bring Central Arizona in direct communication with Eastern cities. This will lead to commercial intercourse, and the exten- cisco and Arizona may be turned to the other side It is important, then that every facility be furnished for increasing communication and extending commerce between C@HloraI& and our neighoors in the adiNning Terri tory.
 The petitioners request that the present Inail facilities be increased to semi-weskly 7 service, and that the schedule time for carrying the mall bs reduced from eight to four days And they base their very reasonable request on these facts:
 "Your petitioners also represent that the population of Central Arizona has nearly dOu- blsd in the past two years; that the farmers now raise, from the land cultivated in that section, nearly all the grain required by Cor ernmeut for the use of he army cavalry and for local cousumption that the rich mining interests are being rapidly deFeloped that the ores from the Vuhure mine aro worked by forty-stamp mili, crushing about sixty five tons per day, and yielding yearly over half million dollars in bullion that the Big Bug mill is now in successful operation, york; ing the ores from the Eugena lode, and pay ing well; that the new placer mines lately dis. covered will furnish empIoymsns to large number of miners, and that the recent discOY- cry of very rich silver ores in the Bfadsha"
 District win soon bring large numbers of
 miners to thas locality,
 Within the past year about three handred farmers have located lands for ranches on
 Salt River, and in the month of January
 last about seventy locations were registered in the Land Office at Prescott, and as soon as the farmers can secure the crop now
 pls nted, there will be about three hundred
 more entries made iu that Land Office; this branch of industry will bs greatly increased this year. as the lands are rich, snd plenty of water for irrigating purposes at hand. . We are advised upoa authority We deem reliable, tha. the msii matter now sent through this roHts a7erages fully five hnn- drsd pounds per week, and that the increased
 travel cannot now bs accommodated by one stage per week.
