New Telegraph Company.

Our dispatches last week announc- ed the organization ofa new and pow erful company in San Francisco, tc build and operate telegraph lines in the United States and Canadas. The names of Senator William Sharon, Michael Reese, A. Cohen and William Burling are among the corporators, and hence the company possess means to extend or purchase lines when and where it pleases. Whether or not the corporators mean active and inde- pendent operations, remains to be seen. The field is surely inviting. The Western Union is not only the most oppressive monopoly in the mat ter of charges, in existence, but it ex- ercises the most baleful influence on public affairs. Connected as 1t is with the Associated Press, 1t practi- cally makes public sentiment to suit it's interests on all subjects of home and foreign affairs; its power is used to affect the credit of government and to break down or build up public men or measures according as they serve or oppose the company's interest. We trust the new company means immo- diate and permanent business.
 The government lines in Southern California and Arizona are an actual profit to the Western Union company. By far the larger share of it's busi- ness at San Diego comes from Ari- zona, end yet it continues to charge more than double the rates per mile that is charged over the government wires Tho charge from San Diego to San Francisco is $1.50 per ter words, whereas 1t should be but sev. enty-fve cents to be in proportion tc the average of, Arizona rates. But i will not be long before 6 competing line up and down the coast will be il operation in fact one now is to Lo' Angeles and in less than year vii bu to Yuma. So that if not sooner within a year, we will have reduced rates for telegraphing; and thC amount that will then be monthly saved to Tucson, will reach hundreds of dollars. Verify we are not only getting ahead, but the near future Ii so shaped in some respects, that WI can rely upon certain large advan. tages.

THE COLORADO DESERT.

This sandy and burning area of country lying west of the Colorado river and between us and the settled portion of California, has been source +of great damage to Arizona. The press of California too often connected it in some way with our Territory, and travellers and emigrants from the west having to cross 1t en route hither, generally credited the hardships of passing over it to the greatly inferior ones experienced in Arizona. Of late years, that desert has had much at- tention by men in public life who have never seen it, but think some- thing ought to bo.done to improve 1t, and who believe something in that line can be done. We rather think the idea of opening up channel to the Gulf of California, expecting thereby to overflow 1t with ocean water, has been abandoned. Just now & party under command of It. Geo. M. Wheeler of the U. s. Engineer Corps, is ordered by him to make thorough investigation of the practicability of irrigating it by turning the Colorado river on it. Lieutenant Bergland Is in immediate command of the party and his instructions are to make a most thorough investigation of all points worth knowing in connection with the desert and river.
 So in the course of a few months, we shall have very definite and relia- ble information with reference to that desert and its possible irrigation by turning the river. If 1t be demonstrated that the river can be turned upon the desert, the next question must be, whether such diversion will be per- mitted? And we think this is one about which there can be little if any doubt, for it is hardly probable that a great navigable stream may be des- troyed upon any account short of a superhuman one. However, this scien- tifc examination can hardly fail to develope some useful information. The desert is now spanned by tele- graph and soon will be again with the addition of @ railway, thereby mak-

LATE dispatches show that the ex- citement about gold in the Black Hills county, was raised upon but few colors of gold. Why it was done at all, IS yet mystery. Prominent military officers (Custar being the principal) started the golden stories, but Col. Fred Grant soon after pronounced them congregations. After all, by aid of the eastern press which will work up any thing for an excitement, no matter to what extent the public is damaged, the reports of plenty of gold were again circulated and to some ex- tent believed but lately the Interior Department has sent out Professor Jenney to examine into and report the facts, and he says but very little geld has been found, and not enough to in sure any general mining. And so an- other fraud is exposed. A Sioux city dispatch of the 11th says the troops were ordered to leave Fort Randall to drive the miners out.

 of secondary importance to Arizona.
 The closing paragraph of Lieut.. Wheeler's instructions to Lieut.. Berg land, reads:
 Your attention should be specially directed to areas of marked depression along the route and their geographical extent, with approaches thereto, as far as practicable. The flow of the river and the character of its sedi- ments will be determined at Camp Mojave and at the mouth of the Rio Virgen. Incidentally you will deter mine the points at which artificial res ervoirs can be most easily construct- ed, taking advantage of the contour of the sub-drainage basins; the more or less impermeable character of the soil underlying them; the value for agricultural purposes of arid tracts encountered, if water can be had, and the probable amount that can be re- claimed; the analysis of alkaline, saline and other deposits; the proba- ble climatic changes to ensue; charac- ter of the present vegetation; probable changes in the average total flow of the river in different seasons etc., etc.
 Lieutenant Bergland remains in the field till October Is. Returning then to Los Angeles, he will reduce his notes and submit his report to headquarters at Washington. In the field he will be aided by Gilbert Thompson, topographer, and Dr. Oscar Loew, chemist and mineralogist, beside numerous corps of other as- sistants.

FROM The Miner of July 9:

A Hardyville correspondent says Large droves of sheep are still working their way along the hot, dusty roads, seeking pasture in Arizona. About thirty thousand have already crossed the Colorado river at this place and about twenty five thousand are near by The droves that are behind are losing many on account of the dry feed and scarcity of water. Sheep Orcattle con- ing to this Territory should be driven in April or August; June and July are hot months on the desert and bad time to move stock. Should the Sum- mer rains set in early and fall plentiful, at least half a million sheep will be add ed to the tlocks of Arizona from South ern California alone. The present out look for Arizona as a wool producing country is that it will equal California or any other State in the Union.
