Arizona weekly miner., 1875-03-12

The Citizen applied to the members of the 1 late Legislature at Tucson for data upon which to write short sketches of their lives. The Yuma Sentinel upbraids its brother ot the Citizen and advises it not to do It, and ayers that the country has no need of any such addition to its literature. Nevertheless the Citizen has published few, and we se- feet those from this and Mohaye counties as samples to lay before our readers:
