The demand for additional enterprise in news
paper business in this city has been for some time
apparent, and as We consider it the province OF
the journalist who claims to understand his bust
ness and who is equal TO the times to lead
rather than follow the public demand, we have
decided 70 IN the issue, during the coming
week, of a SEMI-WEEKLY COMMERCIAL ADVERTISER,
in addition to the regular weekly of Saturday.
1t will appear on Tuesday and Thursday moru-
ings, and will contain, besides the fullest and
latest foreign intelligence, the current commercial
and shipping news, editorials, items of local news,
the proceedings in Courts, new advertisements
etc, etc. 1t will be a valuable medium for local
and transient advertising, in that respect supply
ing a want not met by the weekly papers and
in this particular we solicit the patronage of the
community, with every confidence that our new
enterprise will meet with the requisite support
and encouragement.
The SEM-WEEKLY COMMERCIAL ADVERTISER viii
be for sale by the carrier, Mr.. W. j. Maxwell,
and at the Book stores, or at the Office of public
cation. Price twenty cents a week, or ten cents
per coDy.

WHALES AND WHALING.-The business Of whaI-
ing formerly engaged in from this port, seems to
have been entirely abandoned this year or at
least, as far as we can learn, no preparations have
been made this season for taking whales. The
destruction Of the whaling vessels in the Pola seas,
noticed elsewhere in our paper, and the cOnse-
quent advance in the price Of oil, should prove d
great incentive to those formerly engaged in the
business, to resume their old occupation. As far
as we can learn, the advance in price Of all kinds
Of oil is about $50 per cent. This makes the
taking Of whales a business not be d~espised, even
if none on a small scale. In this connection we
would state that FIVE or six whales, Of the species
known as the California Gray, were seen by the
passengers Of the steamer California yesterday
morning, very near the entrance to False Bay.
Captain Conner expressed it as his opinion that
they were unusually numerous, and would be still
more 50 in a short time so we advise our whalers
to be on the alert, and do some business while
they have an opportunity, and whales arc plenty.

in the Royal Hotel liquor saloon, fell from an upper

no bones were broken by the terrible fall, but Wilson
is evidently injured internally, and perhaps to an
extent that will prove fatal.

STORM ON STRENGTHENING Saturday night last,
the wind, that had been light and s~Outherly during
the week, hauled to the northward, and blew fercely
at times, with squalls of rain, during Sunday. We
hear of trees and fences blown down, but of no
serious damage on this island. From the windward
of the other islands, however, we may expect to
hear somewhat more of the effects of the storm.

GOVERNOR STAFFORD, Dr. R. s.

GOVERNOR SAFFoRD, Dr. R. s. Wilbur, Agent of the Papago h. dians, and large number of our leading citizens leave here tomorrow for Camp Grant, to be present at the peace meeting to be held there on the 21st. Dr. Wilbur will be accom- panied by twenty Papago Indians, who go there to bury their ancient feuds with the Apaches. A delegation of the Pimas will also be present and we sincerely hope the meeting may result in good. Whatever treaties may be made upon this occasion, there will still be left large number of Apaches on the war-path, and that nothing can ever reduce to terms of vigorous war measures. If General Crook is permitted, this they will soon feel. Should this meeting result in a lasting peace, even with the Apaches present, it will be glorious day for Arizona. But we cannot refrain from cautioning those who deal with them, that their promises hitherto have amounted to but little, and without power to compel and such police re- gulations as will insure good faith on their part, we fear that a peace will be but an empty name. General Howard will, we feel sure, conscientiousIy perform his duty, and if he makes mistakes, as he said in Tucson, no one will be more ready or free to cor rect them. But we hope the mistakes will be few, for they will result in the murder of our people. We shall have full reports of the proceeding and they will appear in our next issue.

New Post Offices and Routes.

Upon the recommendation of our Delegate in Congress, the Post Office Department has established the fol- lowing new Post Offices in Arizona, viz:
 Hayden's Ferry, Maricopa county, J. J. Hill, Postmaster. b
 San Pedro Crossing, Pima county, J. Schanblin, Postmaster
 E. F. Bowers has been appointed Postmaster at Skull Valley, Yavapai county. On motion of Delegate Me Cormick, Congress has by law creat- ed the following new Postal Routes in the Territory, viz:
 First-Tubac to Monument, or So- nora line.
 Second-Tubac via Sonoita Valley to Crittenden.
 Third-Wickenburg via Walnut Grove to Bradshaw.
 Fourth-Hardyville via Mineral Park to Prescott.
 Whether the Department will put service on any or all of these routes remains to be seen. It is certainly needed on all and we doubt not the Delegate will urge that it be provided forthwith. We are glad to hear that service is to be put July l. upon the route from Prescott to Albuquerque, New Mexico.

Congressional.

It has been rumored on the street that a former resident of this Territory has by letter expressed willingness,
 if encouraged to do so, to sacrifice himself for Congress; and to accom- plish the object is willing to put a small portion of a large fortune made in Arizona, but invested elsewhere,
 into the canvass This is a free country and any one has a right to do as he pleases, with his own money, and it may be only fair for our friend to bring back portion of the large sum be so suddenly made while with us,
 and spend it freely with the boys. It will do them good and possible our friend no harm. But we will advise him in advance, that among all the charges that have been brought against our people, they have never been accused of sacrificing their friends or selling their votes for money and also, that after carefully looking over the field for @ candidate who would best serve the whole peo- pie irrespective of party, they have come to the conclusion that there Is none so well qualified to ably and faithfully represent them in Congress as Gov. Mccormick, and very gen. erally they have invited him against his own inclination to again represent them, and they will not go back of it.
