WATER is an item of such immense i'm portance in nearly all the country west of the Missouri and Mississippi rivers, that every new " find is important, and worth special notice in the locality where found. ". G. Poindexter has recently struck wa ter in the Cababi district, wherein that ar ticle is very scarce on top Of ground, al though otherwise the section is splendid for grazing and mining. In letter of De- tober 3, written to Judge McCarty of Tue son, Mir. PoindeXter says:
 Since I have been here, I have sunk a well through solid rock distance of thir- ty feet, thus demonstrating the fact that water can be bad in the Cababi district without taking that of the Indians. nave a fine well of water, in fact the finest in the district, and right in the midst of all the mines.
 We have never doubted but under all our grazing and mining lands, there is abundance of water at no very great depth. Thus far nearly all the very deep wells sunk in this county, have been near or at the public highways, which, as a rule, pass over the dryest and most barren land in the Territory.

New Mail Route Wanted.

Following is in circulation for sigma lures. It sets forth such facts as will very likely enable Delegate Mccormick to con- vince the proper committees of the Senate and House of the necessity of the new route, and that done, Congress will not fail to establish it:
 Hon. Richard c. Mccormick, Delegate in Congress from Arizona, Sir: The un- derSigned citizens of Arizona and officers in the civil and military service of the United States, respectfully represent: That there is urgent need of the establish ment of post route as follows, tO-wit: Commencing at San Pedro Crossing, at which there is a pOStOffice, on the great southern overland mail route from Santa Fe via La Mesilla and Tucson to San Die go, California; thence nine miles down the san Pedro valley to Tres AlamoS, a large and growing farming settlement; thence thirty miles to Steel's Station; thence sixteen miles to Kennedy's Wells (O'Reilly's Station); thence twelve miles to Camp Grant, very large and the most important military post in southeastern Arizona; thence thirty miles to Pueblo NiejO, thriving farming settlement in the Gila valley, which must in a few years have several hundred people actual resi- dents there.
 The necessity for the establishment of this route is pressing. The people as well as the military authorities along it, have no means of procuring their mail, except ing by private enterprise, at considerable expense and often very great delay and inconvenience. The points pamed on the proposed route, are all of several years growth and their permanence and steady increase in population are as certain as those of any places in the west.
 Therefore we respectfully ask that you secure the establishment of a route by law as above described, and thereafter procure service thereon, with the estab- lishment of postoffices at Tres Alamos, Camp Grant and Pueblo ViejO.
