That Rich Mine.

A short time since we gave an account of an assay of ore from a
 new discovery in the south east part of the Territory, said assay showing something over $2,200 to the ton of ore; but the parti- cular locality of the mine had not then been made public. The Citizen of last Saturday has the following about the matter:
 An assay of something less than $3, 900 per ton was made at Yuma a short time ago and published in the papers without any definite information as to where the ore came from. It is sad by thoso who ought to know that the ore was taken from a mountain here. tofore unexplored and that when the discOverers make all the loca tions they desire and get them secured, they will open up to the public gaze a mining district that will cause as big an excitement as did the famous COmStOck in ,59 If it is genuine it cannot come too soon.
 Jas A. Moore arrived this morning from Maricopa Wells. and says that the mine from which an assay of $2200 was made. and is refereed to elsewhere. is located about 40 miles south of MarIcopa Wells. The discovery was made by Pat Morgan, an old prOspectOr, with whom we have climbed many a mountain and descended many d deep gorge. The mountain where the disc0y. cry was made is called Morgan mountain in honor of the disc0v. erer. MT. Moore says he has been at the mine and that it is bound to create such an excitement in Ari- Zona as we have not before seen. We hope to be able to give full particulars next week.

COLORADO COMMERCIAL AND
 Land Company.

Since our last issue, we called upon Samuel Purdy, IT,, Esq and requested a statement that might throw some light upon the alleged grant. In response to our request that gentleman has kind ly handed us the following. We would remark that our correspon- dent is much mistaken in his idea that the "validity of the grant is to be decided by Congress-" Con. gress is not a judicial tribunal:
 EDITOR SENTINEL-Sir: Hav. ing been applied to by you for particulars as to the title of the Colorado Commercial and Land Company to the "Rancho PasO de los AlgOdOnes," I take pleasure in furnishing you them. with the assurance that the Company has neither the desire nor the power to make mystery of what is necessarily open to the inspec. tiOn of everyone In few words '-the claim of the Colorado Com. mercill and Land CompahH is founded upon grant issued by the General Government of Mex icO, to one Fernando Rodriguez in 1888. The grant is matter of record in the archives of Mexico, and can be examined by any hav- ing interest enough so to do.
 My attention was called to an article in last weeks SENTINEL headed hy the name of this Com pany; but, as the giSt of it was, simply. that right is right" l fully concur in all it set forth. 1 would only suggest, in connec- tion herewith, that, as the me- rits of this grant are to be tested by actI al proof, and it's validity ( ecided by Congress, it would be rather like a waste of powder to indulge in speculative surmises. There is no legal issue between the title of this Company aud the settlers,-the adverse claim lies in the grant alone. Congress will alone examine into the merits of the grant. The title of the Com pany, is something which it has nothing to do with. As far as the Company is concerned, it has no plans antagoniStic to the interests of the citizens Of this place.
 I am sir, respectfully. etc.,

!" DON'T GIVE UP THE SHIP

How often has this cry been ut- tered by brave men at the mo ment of extreme peril. On the tempest-tossed argosy, when the maddened elements seem possess cd of malignant life and have joined their forces in diabolical
 wrath to drive the vessel to des- iruction {! In that dread nome nt, when human effort seems no longer of any avail, and impend- ing death stares men in the face, the cry come from the intrepid navigator, "don't give up the ship!" Doubtless, many a sea- man has been nerved by this brave cry to one more effort, and the ship has been saved. These words we have taken for our text upon this occasion. They are brave words and only uttered by brave and. resolute men, and are applicable in their import, to the land as to the sea. "Don't give up the ship" Human life is full of dangers. There are storms and tempests, shoals and breakers to be encountered, and he is for tunate navigator indeed upon the great sea of life, who escapes them all. Our fondest hopes are liable to be wrecked, and all our efforts are sometimes of no avail to avert the terrible disaster.
 But men sometimes become disheartened too soon. After a series of rnisfortunes and failures they lose their grip, let go their hold, and their ship goes to destruction. To such men, of what inestimable value might have been the admonition con tained in the navigator's cry, "don't give up the ship" We embark on some new enterprise the prospect looks bright and fiattering and for while every thing goes well. We spread our sails to the breeze, and with a favoring wind, we glide smoothly along. But the clouds arise, the tempest comes, all looks dark and gloomy ahead and we give up the ship. h~ -
 There are many more failures in a new country than anywhere else. This is owing to the fact that men enter business more recklessly there than anywhere else. and to that other fact, that if s man does fail in new country, he can try something else with much more ease than he could in an old country.
 Speaking of Arizona now as our ship. although many of us have had our misfortunes and failures and dissppointments, although the development of our country has been retarded by a prolonged and devastating Indian war and few of us have realized onr expec- tations, yet les US still bear brave Iy up, never losing sight of the fact that we possessalInost bound less resources that must some day be developed. Let po, man be- rome disheartened, for the day ,f de,.verance may be nearer than rs .exrscs. "Dor't gf"e rp tss shtp z"
