THE MINING INTERESTS OF
ARIZONA.

1t is unnecessary to say at this
late day that Arizona possesses
great natural resources. The fact
is admitted by all who know any,
thing about the Territory. These
natural resources may be briefly
summed up as agricultural. pas
tOral and mineral. That we have
agricultural lands capable of pro-
ducing anything that is grown on
the facet of the earth for the sus-
tenance of mans or beast, is well
known; and the boundIess and
excellent pasturage, that extends
all over the Territory, makes it
the paradise of the stock breeder.
But, after all, it must be admitted
that the great source of wealth is
in the bowels of the earth. Ma
ture has been prodigal in bestow-
ing upon Arizona the greatest
mineral wealth of any part of the
globe. Vast chains of mines,
teeming with all the precious and
useful metals, in greater profusion
and richness then in any country
ever seen or dreamed of in the
world.
California, Nevada and Colora-
do, with all their great mineral
wealth, sink into insignificance
when compared:s~~with Arizona.
This expression may seem extra
VACANT, but it is true. Men who
have never seen Arizona and
know nothing Of our mines, may
ask, If is this true, why we have
not been sending out vast guam
titles of bullion? The question is
easily:answered by men who have
lived and suffered in this Terri
tory,
The great draw back, - that
which retarded the development
of our mines more than all other
causes, was the long protracted
Indian hostilities. Life and pro-
perty were unsafe, and capitalists,
who were ready to invest their
money in Nevada and Colorado
shrank from the great risk they
had to run in Arizona. Some of
the boldest and most enterpriSing
did come, and some of them lost
their lives and property in the
venture. The report of these dis
asters frightened others, and thus
Arizona, the richest mineral cOun-
try In the world, has been kept in
the background.
But the dangers that prevented
capitalists from coming to this
Territory. do not exist now. Gen
eral Crook and his brave officers
and men have settled that. Our
miners now work in peace and
security. The trains bringing in
supplies no longer apprehend that
they will be bounced up an by hos
tile Indians and lose their lives
and property. The traveller and
prospector no longer fear that
there is some lurking savage be-
hind every rock and bush. There
is no excuse now to keep men
back who would like to see for
themselves the great wealth of
Arizona. Then come and help
us with your science and energy,
and while you are helping us you
will be helping yourselves. Mi
ners are not able to erect mills

reviewed the history of the Republican party
of the District for the past three years. The
Republican party, he claimed, never had con-
fidence in the Board of Public Works. At the
first meeting held at Union League Hall the
party refused to indorse the board, but dld
indorse Governor Shepherd and General emp
man after warm professions of devotion. Inc
Board of Public Works had never been IN
doAsed since General Chapman had himseh
admitted that he was the candidate OF avail
ability and that Fred. Douglas represented the
brain of the party. Subsequently, in the Re
publican convention, the party refused 70 IN
dorse either Governor Shepherd or the bosTu
of Public Works.
Tonight, for the first time in three years,
there was a meeting free from the overweenlng
power of two or three men. The speaker had
| interviewed the Commissioners, and ne Oe.
lieVed, as they were Republicans, they inIeuu s1
| to do right. But designing men were aISaoy
putting up Jobs on them. They had salu, ~
| the speakers presence, that they WoulI not
| retain any man who had acted dlsnonestly OF
| corruptly, If that be so there VIII De precious
| few left, There never was such corrupt
government under the,sun as had existed mere
1 for the past three years. Those who were
parties to corruption had the best opportunit!
of covering 1t up, and therefore they should all
be swept out. New men were needed to look
into the books and ferret out corruptons. He
believed that they would find more than the
| Congressional committee found.
Alter this speech some resolutions, lsudatory
of Mr.. Green, and some others, asking the aP
pointment of colored men to office, were passed
On the latter q little debate sprung, and the
gang getting too noisy the band drowned theli

the meeting adjourned.

ALITTLE PRIZE FIGHT.
HOW TWO YOUNG MEN FROM GEORGE
TOWN SETTLED IT.


TOWN SETTLED IT.
Yesterday morning, about three O'Clock,
while the good citizens Of Georgetown were
asleep, one of those pleasant recreations, a
prize fight, was taking place on the Virginia
shore, a short distance from the Aqueduct
bridge, between two young men, named Jerry
Elmns and Henry Benton, well known in
Georgetown. The fight lasted about twelve
minutes, and resulted in Benton's being de-
clared the victor. The origin Of the fight was
about as follows: O party Of young men, in
Guiding the two contestants, were in the saloon
under Lang's hall, on Bridge street, George
Gown, drinking, during which period wrestling
took place, and Elmns and Benton stripped
themselves and went to the street, where the
wrestling was renewed.
A proposition was made that the couple pro
coed to the Virginia shore, and then let it be
determined who was the best man. The prop
osition was agreed to, and all started for the
battle field. On arriving upon the ground
ring was formed, and soon the contestants
stripped for the fray, and all being in READINGS!
blows passed and the fight began. Blows fell
| thick and fast, and both the young mems face!
showed the effects of the fists, which did MOI
lessen in the least as the fight progressed
After the expiration Of about twelve minutes
the referee declared the fight over, and boil
Young men repaired to the canal, where thei
| mugs were washed, after which they shool
hands and returned to the city.

TROUBLES OF LIQUOR SELLING IN
FAIRFAX COUNTY-APPARENT INEF-
FICACY OF PRAYER-NDICTMEN OF
FOX, ETC.
FALLS CHURCH, July 10, 1874.
To the Editor Of the National Republican:
SIR: Our people now are. beginning to adopt
means to the end sought. First, public meet
ings were held to express public sentiment in
relation to the drinking saloon opened by Amos
Fox in 8. D. Brush's store. The last meeting
amounted q large committee of the weighty
men to visit Fox and tell him shat his dram
shop was not wanted here. This committee
FILTERED away its moral power by It's delays
and lack of decided purpose. Finally the re-
ligious part Of the people began TO hold prayer
meeting TO pray the saloon out Of existence,
and the women were urged into holding daily
nraver meetings but IN all this there was no
especial evidence demonstrated Of the efficacy
of PRAYER in removing dram shop. The shop
seemed to flourish in spite of the prayer meet
iugs, The next step was to declare, by the
male portion Of the community, that the whole
Temperance work was peculiarly woman,s
work, and thence to urge the women TO visit
Fox and to win him by their gentle words and
smiles away, or out Of his business, and II he
wouldn't win by gentle words and smiles to
uray with him. All this reminds me OF the
man in the story who was Weakened by the
his wife and urged her to 60 down and capture
| or drive out the burglar, that she need not be
afraid, that the burglar wouldn't hurt her.
Well, all this thing, though not quite played
ont. has proved quite Intellectual SO far as re-
moving the Objectionable rum shop is con-
cerned. -
Well, Fox has stirred up little unpleasantness
| all around, and he is having his share Of It.
| He was the complainant, believe, in an at
/ tempt to indict Henry Parker and John Bran
| hall as the persons chargeable with breaking
in the heads of his whisky barrels at the depot.
| That failed. He then commenced suit against
| them, believe, for the waste Of property, and
thew fed and have been absent for weeks.
The friends of Parker and Bramhall finally
went for Fox for selling liquor without United
States license, and he was indicted at Alexan-
dria on the 9th, and is on bail for his appear
| ance at court.
1t is generally thought that Brush is inter
ested with Fox in the liquor traffic, but his
troubles have commenced in another direction.
There is a deed of trust for $500 on his store,
and am told that the property is advertised
| for sale. Before this thing is all through with
there will be a demonstration of the Scripture,
to wit: 1.-THE way of the transgressor is hard
| XY.Z.
