THE ARIZONA TELEGRAPH.

THE ARIZONA TELEGRAPH.
 We are now assured that the entire telegraph line from San Diego via Yuma to Maricopa Wells with branches to Prescott and Tucson, can and will be built with the money (about s5l, l,Ooo) appropriated by Con- gress, and also that it will be con- pleted by November. MT. R. R. Haines, Superintendent of construc- tion, and Captain George F. Price, in charge of the military connected with the work, are both confident that they can accomplish the job by that time. Next to the completion of a railway with the great world beyond Arizona, telegraph is the most desirable con- nection. Early investigations as to cost of poles indicated that the ap- propriation would only build the line between Tucson and Prescott. Of course that much would be a begin ming and better than nothing, but very unsatisfactory. It affords us pleasure to say that AIr. Haiues and Captain Price both say the citizens along the entire route from Prescott to Tucson, took liberal interest in the work and will supply the poles at a very low fgure-probably not over an average of $1 50 each, which price can have no immediate profit in it. As many as seven distinct parties have contracts to supply poles and in no case are there any middle-men.
 The telegraph party started iron, Prescott June 26 and reached Tucson July 13. The trail from Prescott to Peoples valley was followed, and from the latter place, the party was enabled to travel in an ambulance. The line from Prescott to Peoples Valley will be wi5hin fifty mics in length, whereas one via Date creek would be ninety-fve, and poles are easily obtained on the former. From Wickenburg, the line will follow the Hassayampa and main travelled road via Duppa's Agua Eric Station to Phenix; thence to Maricopa; thence via Pima Villages to Sacaton, and it is believed, by Florence, the people of the latter place having offered such inducements in the way of poles as will overbalanoa the small additional distance required to bring the line by there. TBy all means Florence should De accommodated. The place is grow ing, has land office and rapidly increasing business with other parts Of the Territory. From Florence the line will quite certainly come by Pi- cacho Station and Point of Mountain. The country along the line just de- scribed is regarded as very favorable to construction, and will be less than 25O mlles-probably 24O.
 The reconnaissance from Maricopa to Fort Yuma will be made without delay and immediately after the poles will be set and the wire stretched. Just where this part of the work will begin, is not certain with those hav- ing it in charge. Both Superintend- ent Haines and Capt. Price are alive and earnest in the work, and will neither permit it to drag or fall short of entire completion, if their present plans are not in some way thwarted.

THE San Diego and Matagorda Bay railway is the newspaper name for some examinations of & route from San Diego to Matagorda Bay in the Gulf of Mexico. As we have seen the route described in print, it mainly lies through lower California nd other Mexican States; although one account takes it through @ valley called Sonoita-which may mean our valley of that name near old camp Crittenden. And we see it stated that the proposed route is about 1900 miles shorter from the Pacific ocean to the Gulf of Mexico than that of the Texas and Pacific, which of course is a very absurd statement, as any one may learn by glance at any map of the country. One very knowing de- scription of it takes it through Lower
 California into Arizona thence into Sonora to Guaymas, and thence to Matagorda Bay, in all distance of not less than 2,500 miles. When we discover any intelligent statement of the country through which the road is proposed by those promoting It. 1t will be time enough to treat 1t with more serious consideration than L -,1a,5 Jolyo r,.g,iagt or, tha Colo

was entitled to receive from trust, TO di-
vido the balance of the profits between

The first loan was to defunct national
