 This exposition is to be opened al

 A large amount of space in the open air is reserved for the use of American exhibitors. Arizona has been partic- ularly requested to contribute photo graphs of scenery, reports of our free school system, and works on the geol- ogy and statistics of the Territory. call your attention to this subject in the hope that some means may be provided by which Arizona may be properly represented.
 STATISTICS.
 The last Legislature appointed Q commission to collect and publish re- liable information of the resources of the Territory, and advantages of i'm migration hither. A pamphlet was prepared and published by the con- mission, and has been given a wide circulation. It has received favorable comments by the press throughout the United States and Europe, and at tracted much attention to this Terri tory. In the preparation of this pamphlet, much embarrassment was owing to a lack of relia- ble and available statistical informa- tion.
 In order to obtain such information for future use, I would recommend that the Territorial auditor be direct ed to annually prepare accurate tables of the statistics of the Territory; and to the end that he may do it thorough ly, the county assessors should be re- quired, at the time of making the annual assessment, to procure from each person assessed, complete statement of all the information such persons possess relative to the number of acres under cultivation, the classes of products planted, the average yield per acre, expense of cultivation, and average price received for the prod lcts; number and kind of fruit trees and vines set out and their yield number of horses, cattle, hogs and sheep; proceeds of placer and quartz mines; with such other facts as you may deem of importance. The as- ,essors should return these statistics % the county clerks, and copy be to the Territorial auditor; md the auditor be then required to the information with such other facts as he may be able to ob- ain from reliable sources.
 The Attorney General of the United States is required by law to report to Congress in January of each year. the statistics of crime under the laws of he several States and Territories. To enable the Territory to give this in I recommend that an act ,e passed requiring district attorneys o report to the Territorial auditor, on IT before the first day of December of 'ach year, the number of prosecutions or capital crimes during the year; he number of prosecutions for crimes punishable by confinement in the pen tentiary; the number of prosecutions or ofenses punishable less severely han by confinement ill the peniten- iary; the whole number of criminal ases disposed of during the year; lumber tried by jury; number of con- ictions upon trial by jury; number f acquittals upon trial by jury; num- 'er of nolle prosequis, dismissed or iscontinued; number in which the pleaded guilty; number f cases tried before magistrates with ut jury, and of these, the number f convictions and acquittals.
