MINING LIFE of Silver City, N. M, is alive again and at hand once more-the numbers of October s', and November ' reaching us by maH of Thursday. The latest date contains a lengthy description of mining operations at Clifton, Arizona, which we will give next week in THE Orr HEN. Judge Bennett of Silver City, has accepted the superintendency of the Long fellow copper mining company at Clifton. We are informed that a large coal field has been discovered in that locality and that claims have been made to it.

The Safe Way.

Thursday of this week, U. s. Deputy Sur veyor s. R. DeLong, c. O. Brown and James Douglass started to Silver Mountain district to make preliminary surveys of some valuable mines with a view of hav- ing perfect record and description to pro- ceed upon when application is made for patents. This is the only Safe way. The haphazard measurements or no measure ments which usually attend original loca- tions of mines, make it almost impossi- ble to get official surveys fo- patents in ac- cordance with the regulations prescribed in pursuance of law; and claimants some times feel aggrieved at the delays and ex- pense required to prepare their records after application for an official survey is made before such survey can be order ed. It will be always safe and ordinarily the cheapest for all claimants to mines-espe- cially mines they highly value-to have a preliminary survey made by a competent survey before application for patent. If it does not correspond with the original record of location, such location can be abandoned and new one made without the least danger to the title, unless per haps contest be pending at the time.

CHARLES D.. RIVERS of Camp Lowell, obliges us With these facts: In 1871 there was n4CSfn in October; in 1872, 40-l0O of an none fell in October and in 1874, there was rain on five days, amounting to LOS inch es. This shows the past October rather re- markable in respect to rain-Lhe heaviest fall in one day being 66-l00 of an inch on the 18th.

THE land in front of Tucson is under stood to have been cultivated about 100 years, and hence this community must have about that age-a greater age than that of the United States government. The climate here is adapted to the growth of all or ne3fly all kinds of fruits-there having been/no frost here stnce last Win ter-'and ytJwe are now paying from eight to ten cents apiece for an inferior apple or get none at all. At MeSilla and Las Cru ces in the Rio Grande valley, there was frost October 29, and those places have al- most superabundance of grapes, peach es, pears, apples and other fruits. There is no doubt but these several kinds of fruits can be grown in our valley so as to be sold at fifty cents to one dollar per bushel, and the producers make mulch more money than they now do from any thing they grow. With care, an orchard bearing many hundreds of bushels of fruit could be grown here in from three 10 four years, and the wonder now is wheth- CT any body will do it? or the people go along another century with but little fruit at very high prices?

THE ALTA opposes the flooding of the Colorado Desert of California with water from the ocean. We only fear that papers opposition is unnecessary, for it is but barely possible the project can be ac complished. Those engaged in the scheme only now ask that survey be made to demonstrate the possibility or impossibility of it. Having spent some days and nights on that desert, we still believe that If it were covered with salt water and the deeper the better, some thing would be gained to the surrounding country, and nothing of consequence lost to California or to the "back country" of San Diego.
