That MYTHICAL SC sArmed Force"

In February, 1869, the General Assem-
bly, passed a resolution authorizing the
Governor to arm and equip a company Of
one hundred men for the defence. Of the
State Under this resolution body Of
constabulary was organized, and a large
sum of money was expended There:be
inc no further use for the armed force"
If there ever was any, itsMas supposed TO
be disbanded. 1t appears, however, that
since the first of November last, $50, 1873
80 have been drawn from the State Treas
urv on account of this very armed force; ;
this huge disbursement being made, as
Justice Willard of the Supreme Court
says, in year when no necessity for a
ssort on the part of the State to. military
force is known to have existed, and when
th resources of the State are inadequate
&c meet the current expenses Of the goyy-
ernment, or to provide for proper ad-
ministrstion Of justice" >.
For our own part, we do not believe
that the Armed Force is in existence. We
believe that the money was corruptly used
by Governor Scott in nstaving Oft the I'M
peachment resolutions last winter The

He said, first, that he congratulated the
people on the superb agricultural pros

full and exuberant harvests. =.
Secondly, that he congratulated them
that peace and harmony were prevailing
to such an extent in the up-country, ana
that the two races were understanding
each other better and cooperating more

A Peaceful Military Expedition.

on Wednesday last, Gen. Geo. Crook, Major F.. A. Carr. Capt. A. II. Nickerson, Capt Thomas hc1regor, Lieut. w. J. Ross, Mir. J. Daily and W. II. Beckett, with Col. II. A. Bigelow for guide, LOOK an carly start and made the round trip on horseback, from Fort Whpple through Prescott by Moves & Curtis saw-miil, to C. Davis ranch at me head of the iassayamps, over the divide ana down Lynx Creek, returning to Fort Whip Die about j F. M
 None Of the party except Col. Bigelow had been on the head of Lynx Creek before, and the object in making the trip was 10 get tue "lay of The land " and see the country, and all admitted that quite large section is visible from the high ground at the head of those creeks.
 Mount Union, just above Davis ranch, is said 10 be ,910 feet above sea level, and Is the highest point in Arizona between San Francisco moun- tain and the Gia river. Though the party did not ascend the summit they reached elevations rom whence a view of sixty to eighty miles in each direction could be had which was very sat- isfactory.
 Recent rains have given the placer miners on Lynx Greek some water, and some of the party .ho had never seen any placer mining, were much interested in the process of saving gold
 C. '. Shelton entertained the gentlemen very hospitably at his cabin, showed them specimens of rich gold quartz from the Shelton lode, and SIS in beautiful gold taken from his creek claim since last Friday morning, and told of the early days on the creek when fifty or sixty dollars d
 
 is working out Inc leavings on the old Coulter claim and has found some very good ground, and stated that he got SIS in one pan few days ago, from crevice in the bed rock. Capt. McGregor was miner in California years ago, and while the rest of the party called on Uncle Billy Pointer, and were busy examining the Pointer quartz mine, he amused himself by going into Sheiton's claim and banning out, getting from ten to twelve cents 10 tue pan.
 The day was comfortably cool and very clear, md rnaAc froa frO,, I,,,f hon cred with splendid grass to the very tops, water running in every gulch and creek, all the trees in full leaf and flowers in bloom everywhere so that the country was in good condition for sight see CTS. Col. Bigelow has had considerable expert ence in prospecting, placer and quartz mining on Lynx Creek, during the past nine years, knows tbe country like book and was able to point out every locality having any historical interest, so nothing was wanting to make the ride pleasant one, and all agreed that it so, and that the Knowledge gained concerning the country would be very useful, so the objects of the expedition were fully attained.

Richard M. Hargrave.

The letter of Governor Stafford Gin answer to one from Judge Berry,) which appeared in the MINER of last week, was badly treated by the compositor who placed it in type. For instance, our comp. made the Governor say, "Tbat llar- grave committed the murder is not determined, and was fully proven" An examination of the manuscript shows plainly, the word dea,ied, which by some focus the printer distorted into deter mined
 But, VIC started in to say that Hargrave now claims to have proofs of his insanity, from officers of insane institutions in Ohio, aud that since the knowledge of his plea of insanity and of the fact that his ease has been appealed to the Supreme Court, many good citizens have given up all hope of ever seeing murderer punished by law, in this Territory, and regret the fact that the costly farce of arresting, guarding, and mnistcring to the wants of murdcrers has been so frequently indulged in at their expense.

THAT COAL.

The coal of the Little Colorado has been tried by our bfacksmths and pronounced excellent It ernits little if any sulphur, makes very hot fire. and leaves behind very little ashes or cinders, Although 1t may resemble English camel coal good judges call it hgnite,-a Ignite, we think we may term common Ignite. The deposit Is s;lu to be extensive. It lies about l40 miles to tie eastward of Prescott. and very near ,bc n-o, posed line of the Atlantic and Pacific Railroad south of 1t is the great tinbercd chain of noun ains that forms the backbone of Arizona and r;uions ,.ns ont water to our two great rivcrs-the Gila and Colorado.

RAILROADS.

Thomas A. Scott, President of the Texas and Pacific Railroad, has recently assured the people of San Diego that work on the line of road will be immediately commenced, and pushed until the great project shall have been completed. He says he likes San Diego and its location.
 Los Angeles and San Francisco will have to connect with Scotts road at San Diego as Scott disclaims having any idea of building any other road in California.
 San Francisco is troubled. Its Committee Of "Onc Hundred" " is divided, and Stanford is press ing his points for land in the city and S2, 800 900 in cash .v
 Meantime the friends of an independent rail- road to the Colorado and St Louis, ria the 35tl parallel route, are far from being discouraged.
