The Santa Rita PIacers.

These mines are rich beyond expec tations. There is no longer any doubt of this fact. David T. Harshaw came i1 this week with sack of dust and mug gets of gold in value $S43. We saw the shining metal at John H. Archi bald's store. It was the result of foul days labor performed in this way One man digs the earth, another packs it one and half miles to water where "a third washes it in rocker. Mir Burroughs is the partner of Harshaw, and the latter says they work moder- ately. The pay earth of their claims is from four inches to two feet deep to the bedrock. MT. Harshaw says he worked in Gold Run and other rich diggings in Nevada county, California, in the days of '49, and that he never found richer earth than that of the Santa Rita mines.
 T. Green Rusk went out to these pla- cers after many others had gone and returned and reported unfavorably for any further prospecting, but he has discovered diggings which pay him from one to one and half ounces per day,
 Others are making from an ounce to twenty dollars per day. These placer diggings are known to cover several miles in extent and those who have made personal and practical observa- tions, say they are more extensive than ever reported. Of course, water is scarce, but if the dirt is rich enough to pack a mile or two and then give the miner from $16 to $10O per day, they are entitled to rank equal with the best placers ever discovered. If a man can find dirt that will pay him from $5 to $10O per day by packing it one or more miles to water, such dig gings should surely be regarded rich and very rich. The dirt at the Santa Rita placers can probably be carried in carts instead of on jacks, and the daily yield be largely increased.
 The country at and about these mines is unusually beautiful It is mostly live oak parks with abundance of grass and Scarcely any undergrowth. As sheep-grazing section, it is of the first quality and locations are being made for that purpose. But at present, the gold placers are the great attrac- ton and must be for years, according to the present appearances of quantity and quality. of dirt.

mitted with their good work. Gener als Grant, Sherman, Sheridan and oth CTS have probably done as much public service as Crook, but are not allowed
 to rest; and very recently The Miner
 gave Gen. Sherman a lick which the Generals friends might cOnstrue as be ing planted "below the belt" No liv, inc man is saint-nOt even Gen Crook. We never heard him claim that he is infallible, although we have asserted that he is as an Indian fighter
 He is a public man in the broadest sense of the word He controls and directs large and very expensive pub lie business, and to the better fit him
 for it, he was educated at the public 'eXpense. He can less consistently plead excuses for errors, than the mass of
 military or civil officers. His best friends have been and always will be
 those who will call his attention to CT TOTS and at the same time do him com plete justice To let Gen. Crook have a full and unobstructed opportunity to fight the hostile Indians, we opposed everything and body that opposed or 
 in any way hindered him; now to let competent agents of the Interior De partment, have an equally unobstructed opportunity to execute their duties and manage the Indians peaceably, we will in like manner oppose and try to eX- pose all agencies in their way. This is our platform fully set forth. We stood on It boldly in behalf of Gen. Crook and at our own peril, and will occupy It hereafter and "take the chan ces."

Arizona and the Signal Service.

One improvement follows another. Less than two years ago, Arizona was supplied with liberal and cheap tele- graphic service, and very soon we are to have the Signal Service in opera tion at various stations throughout the Territory, as will be seen by our San Diego dispatch announcing the ship ment of fifteen sets of instruments fol it. The temperature of the air; the force and direction of winds; the quantity of rain, etc., will be scien- tifically recorded and reported fol public use. We are convinced that no State or Territory will make 8 bet ter average showing than Arizona Erroneous reports heretofore made and to some extent believed, will be cor rected.
 Reports from Yuma may show the weather to be little hot and dry, but the California desert is mainly re- sponsible therefor. Those from Pres Icott, Apache, Grant, Tucson, Mari copa Wells, Florence and Phenix, will average very well. And will show a climate rarely surpassed for comfort the twelve months around. Our July and August rains and lively thunder storms can but be the envy Of most of the Territories. Then we have some rain nearly every month, and considerable in the Winter an'l early Spring. It will also be observed that sunstrokes never occur in our Territory. and that our climate is as healthy as that of any other locality and rather better for pulmonary dis eases. And finally the new service will serve to constantly keep our Ter ritory in public mind, an item of no small importance.

The Case of Manuel AbiIes.

THE CITIZEN of last Saturday had some remarks on this and similar cas- es We quoted from The Miner regard ing the favorable disposition of the people to have him hung and also gave a telegram asking a temporary respite for the purpose of sending a petition to the Governor for communication of sentence. We did not say the people acted wrongly, but strangely in all such cases. Here is what The Miner of Jul ly B says regarding the rePEiere and move for communication
 The case of Manuel Abiles, who was condemned to be hung here to-day, and has been respitcd by the Governor for two weeks, has been the subject of much discussion during the past few days A petition has been in circula- ton asking for communication of the sentence to Imprisonment for life, and majority of the people have signed it. Many assign as reason that they swere unwilling to see him hung while his companions in the crime were al lowed to go free. We see nothing in such an argument and in signing it took only into consideration the man himself without reference to what was done with the rest. That he is guilty of helping to kill the man, we have no doubt, and that he ought to be severe ly punished we are fully persuaded, but having heard a portion of the tes- timony and been convinced that the deceased deserved killing, not by the hands of Abiles of course, but that he was unfit to live, we thought the mat ter over, and concluded that if ouI name would have any influence in say ing the man from death and putting him in prison instead, where he could do no further harm, we had not the heart to withhold it. This may be sickly sentimentalism, or maudlln weakness if you please, but we confess that except in extreme cases, we think hanging man is not the best use he can be put to, especially as we are now erecting a safe prison at Yuma where cOnvicts can be made useful to some extent, and kept without fear of es- cape; besides, if Yuma is anything like what it is represented, It may be a greater punishment to roast him to death there than to hang him at once and be done with it.
 On this last remark we hope to heal from Judge Berry in The Sentinel.
 Since the foregoing was prepared for the printer, private advices have been received from Prescott saying that some signed the petition because they were opposed to capital punish ment; some because other criminals had either escaped punishment or sui ficient punishment; and others signed it who discovered afterwards that the prisoner acted like an abandoned wretch and also confessed that Inc struck the fatal blow, but that another man closed up the job. All hands seen to agree that Abiles is guilty of mur der. Many did not sign the petition
 and think the sentence should not bC cOmmuted. Before this paper is ot
 the press, the probability is that what
 ever action may be taken will be by
 the Executive.

RAILWAY MATTERS, ETC.-In a business letter dated San Bernardino July IS, c. W. c. Rowell, Esq, in forms us as follows:
 The railroad is completed and ac- cepted to this point. Bridge done and track laid across the Santana river. Grading and track-laying stead fly going forward. A surveying party left on the first of last week to try and find a route via Ehrenberg to the Gila at the junction of Salt river. If found practicable, the road will be built that way. It is very doubtful if a route can be found in that direction without going further north than the company wish.
 Many persons are anxiously looking towards Arizona, watching her pro- gress and thinking some to make their homes there. Your mining interests are looking up here however they may be there. All right here, you may rest assured.--ED. l Scarcely a day passes but that some old familiar Arizona face comes across my vision, and they are all going back. The fact seems to be that after one gets taste of Arizona, he cannot be very long contented anywhere else, and I think l feel little that way myself. ;

THE noted and horrible Mountain Meadow massacre by the Mormons began September s, 1857. The emi- grants were surprised in their sleep by volleys of bullets, but they rallied and made defense for six days, dur ing which time eight were killed and many wounded, and but two Mor- mons were killed. The emigrants being cut off from water and hemmed in on all sides, were obliged to sur render, when they were marched out and sIaughtered-in all seventy-siz women and children and forty-fve un- armed men and boys. For some req son seventeen children were spared one of whom was a girl of thirteen and she is now a witness in the trial ot the murderers going on at Beaver Utah.
