The weekly Arizona miner., 1872-06-29
Yuma County.

We glean as follows from the Arizona City Sentiml of the 18th instant:
 Major Finlay had received letter from the Surveyor Generals Clerk, at Tucson, stating that plats and field notes of the Yuma Military Reservation had been received, from Washington. The Sentinel thinks that before patent will issue new survey will have to be made, to include the Reserve"
 In previous issue, the editor wondered how the officers at Fort Yuma could "take care" of the many Army "bummers" that called upon them for hospitality, etc, which wondrous wonder vexed Captain Mac Gowan and the other officers at the post, who have "prevaied" upon the editor to rise to an ex- planation, which he does, by stating that he never wrote the word hummer" and that his devil (of course), is the imp who put in the ugly word, the use of which has created just very little ill-feeling. But, it is all right now for hasn't the editor said he didn't want to malign anybody no, not even the United States Army. put, enough 1: Captain McGowan and the other officers of the post "desire it 10 be understood that army officers and their families are always welcome to the best they can afford"
 A correspondent, writing from Mohave City, over the non de plume of Mohave," says some things which the MINER cannot allow to pass unchallenged and uncontradict- ed. What he says is this:
 "Fort Mohave is quite pleasant place, and but for its solitary surroundings would not be bad place to live at.

Whether the soil on that side is valuable for the purposes of agricul- ture, am unable to say, but kRon there IS nothing Of the sort on his side, except h De some miles beiOn The country becomes moro barren and desoate the farther you ascend the river, if such thing is possible"
 What the MINER wishes to say is, that, both above and below Fort Mohave are rich valleys or river bottoms capable of producing cotton, cane, corn, wheat, barley, and every kind of tropical fruit, plant and flower. But a little distance below the Fort commence the rich and extensive farms of the MOhave Indians, and not far above the fort, are ranches that for years past have produced al- most everything needed for the table of civ iIized man, all of which "Mohaye" might have learned had he paid more attention to the country and less to the fort. Indeed, there is no better land anywhere than that which constitutes the valleys of our great river.

 The editor had, for long time past, known that the sum of S30O,OOO was on its way from San Francisco to the U. S. Depository at Tucson, but did not like to say so, previous to its arrival at Tucson, for fear, you know, Mexicans might "gobble" it.
