Don't Try It.

A friend of ours in Salem, Oregon, who takes lively interest in Arizona affairs, in 8 recent letter to us, says that thus far neither peace nor war measures have subdued the Apaches, and he can think of but one remedy untried, viz: "To get Joaquin Miller to aim 8 poem at them!" If the mis- erable devils could read, we know of no worse punishment that could be in Aicted upon them than this, but are quite sure it would only incite them to increased murders of race that alone produces and pays for such stuff.

Cashmere Goats.

Davis and Faulk of Philadelphia paid the following rates for Cashmere feeces sent to them by Butterfield of California For fine, $1 20 per tb; low fine, $1 10; fine Kenpy, so cts; low Kempy, 70. We have often heard it stated by persons familiar with the raising of these goats, that Arizona in climate and grazing advantages is admirably adapted. It has been de- monstrated that no country is superior to this for grazing sheep, and we could count them to-day by millions if it were not for the savage Apache. We hope that some of our enterprising citizens will introduce the Cashmere goats. That it will prove one of the most certain and lucrative investments we have no doubt; and the danger of being stolen by Indians is not so great as that of horses or cattle.

The PIanchaS de Plata.

Governor Stafford favors us with the following interesting items relative to these remarkably rich silver mines, which he and others recently visited:
 The most direct route to the mines is up the Santa Cruz river about sixty miles to the Bosque Ranch, thence nearly due south about thirty miles over a high range of mountains which can easily be crossed with pack animals. The mines are in the Mexi- can State of Sonora, some six miles south of the Arlzona line. Spanish and Mexican history describes the wonderful riches of this section. More than a century ago, it is recorded that piece of pure silver was found which weighed over 700 pounds. By right of sovereignty, this piece was claimed by the King of Spain, which avaricious act dampened prospecting and development; still, large amounts of silver were found near the surface and taken out. Subsequent ,revolu- tions and Apache ravages, depopu- lated that region; and but for their attracting the historians attention, the planchas would long since have been regarded as mythical and the tales of them mere fables. Even now 1t IS not known just where they were dis covered-especially the larger speci- mems but from the best attaina ble Mexican authority, the locality is a number of miles north of where the mines are presently worked and within the limits of Arizona. The existing discoveries were made a few months ago by some Mexicans who had little or nothing to work with but they found silver in such pure state near the surface, that now rich and poor men are focking there from all parts of Sonora. The belt of mineral has been found to be continuous for about four miles. Very little work has been done except near the surface. Ore exists upon the lead, in some places many feet in width, that pays i'll ar rastres from $500 to $2,OOO per ton, and some of the seams are filled with nearly pure silver.
 The mineral belt is not developed sufficiently to determine much regard ing its permanency, but there IS enough riches in sight to warrant it being called a valuable discovery. The high grade of the ore enables poor men to realize profits at once. Fifteen arrastres are now running and more are being constructed. The principal circulating medium is bull lion cut or broken in pieces to make change.
 A number of prospectors left here this week to trace and if possible find the lead in Arizona, and we hope to soon record valuable discoveries in this Territory.

 Weather.
 PHENIX, A. T., September 5. 1872. In this town and valley we are safe from Indians. True, the red skins sometimes hover around the outskirts, jump a train, cripple man or more, or kill few just for luck, but this is nothing to the wholesale butchery in other parts of the Territory. A hos tile Indian has not been seen within many miles of this town in long time. We apprehend that it is very nice for the peace party to live in plenty and out of danger, but were the arrows and bullets of the Apache or the knife and cold lead of despe- radoes from @ neighboring govern ment to smite themselves or cut off their dear friends, they would soon change their peace policy and songs.
 The diamond excitement Is begin ming to take here, and some of the boys talk of organizing a party to search for precious stones. They had better not get inspired by San Fran cisco news until after they read that from London-ED.
 Much excitement is manifested about the rich mines lately discovered in Sonora, just below the line; and were there 6 settled government ln Mexico, there would be a stampede from here to the mines. As 1t IS small party would hardly be prudent to cross the border.
 Politics is beginning to occupy the attention of our people and from present appearances there will be two tickets in the field. T. c. Worden and D. Shultis will be candidates for Sheriff; F. A. Shaw for Recorder and Geo. E. Mowry for Treasurer, who will have no opposition, for all parties say he is the right man in the right place. Of other candidates, 1 only have reports.
 The wheat and barley crops have yielded we'll, although owing to a scarcity of headers much has been lost in harvesting. Vegetables have been plentiful and the Summer crops of sorghum, beans. Irish potatoes, &c. are all doing we'll and give promise of an abundant yield. Much rain has lately fallen, which has caused the grass to spring up all over the valley.
 The September term of the District Court for this county is now in session. But four criminal and seven civil cases are on the calendar. Of the civil cases, one is for divorce and four are on appeal from justices court. The Grand Jury is now in session.
 The weather has been cool and agreeable here for some time. To-day it is cloudy and gives some indications of rain. BOB.

PREEMPTORS RIGHTS.

The subjoined decision is one that will stand the best legal tests, aud hence we give it in full. Many set tiers think because they have pos sessed and improved tract of public land they can sell their acquired rights to another and give the pur- chaser all their legal claims upon gov ernment for patent to the land. Sales of this kind are illegal, and this decision presents the facts resulting from one such transaction:
 DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR
 GENERAL LAND OFFICE, WASHINGTON CD. O., July 23, 1872. Register and Receiver, Marysville, California-Gentlemen: The applica- tion of Seneca J. Abbott, to file D. $. upon south half of northeast quar- ter and south half of northwest quar- ter section 25, township II north, range east, refused by you Decem- Der 20, 1871, and transmitted on ap- peal by Registers letter of the 18th June, ultimo, has been considered.
 The tract appears to be within the granted limits of the Central Pacific Railroad, withdrawn January, 1865, and the settlement of Abbott was made iii 1868. He did not file within three months of the return of the plat survey, which appears to have been filed in 1870.
 He claims that the right of the rail- road was defeated by the settlement of one James Smith, who settled, 1t IS alleged, in 1858, and sold his claim to Abbott in 1868, without waiting the survey, prior to which he could not file for the land as 8 pre-emptor. I must decline to recognize any pre- emption claim of Smith, who has never presented any for the oonsidera- tion of the Government in its disposi- tion of the land. The reservation in the granting acts for railroad pur- poses is of land to which a pre-emp- tion claim is attached. No party under the statutes relating to such pre-emptions can present claim by proxy, but must make his own settle ments, filing, proof, affidavit and pay ment; that is, he must bring the claim in his own right and behalf and not for another, or another for him. The sale of pre-emption right is prohibited by law. It follows that where settler has improved unsur- veyed land and sold his improvements before he could legally make @ record of. his claim of pre-emption, that no other party can be allowed to impute to him an intention to pre-empt and also the commission of an illegal act of transfer of such pre-emption. And I must especially decline to recognize such transfer as the basis of pre- emption right in the purchaser, going back over the whole period of settle ment of the assigner to defeat con- tingent independent interest made by law subject only to legal claim on the part of the settler.
 The application must be rejected; you will so advise the parties and allow the usual sixty days for appeal.
 It appears in your report that your refusal was based upon the alleged rights of the California and Oregon Railroad Company instead of the Central Pacific Railroad Company. If anything appears in your records excluding the latter from this tract, you will please report at once, refer ring to this as G. Very respectfully,
 WILLIS DRUMMOND,
 Commissioner

The various Republic an State associations,
organized by citizens of the various states
residing In this District and attached TO the
Republican 18th, promise to become most
valuable Ruxiliaties TO the Congressional
Executive Committee In the stirring political
campaign upon which the country has now
fully entered, and the committee, In rccOgnl-
ton of the fact, Is extending every possible
facility TO the associations aud their cant
paign committees 10 make their voluntary
labors a marked success. The principal
work of the campaign committees at present
is the selection and distribution Of documents
suited TO the localities towhich they arc sent;
and In this work they have been wisely ad-
yised by the Congressional committee not to
send their documents of in large packages
to State organizations, 10 lie, perhaps, nc
elected amid the hustle and turmoil Of move
ments, but 10 procure from every available
source the names OF individual voters whom
1t Is desirable to reach, and send the docu-
ments TO them direct
II, as has been suggested from both sides,
the issue Of this mOmentous campaign de-
ponds upon organization, II behOOyes the
political managers, high and low, to make
their organizations everywhere far-rcachIng
and effective. They should remember always
that the Republican party never yet feared
the light, and fears nothing now so much As
the darkness OF ignorance which leads men
estray. Place the Issues fairly before the
people, aud they may be safely trusted with
the result.
