Arizona as a Stock Country and
 Feeder of Sai

Eeeder OI saL-fEranciscO. The city of San Francisco consume: daily 300 to 325 head of horned cattle
 with the usual proportion of sheep calves and swine. This gives 118,625
 meat cattle as our annual consumption The city is rapidly outgrowing the
 State. Our consumption of meat in a
 few years must exceed the capacity Of
 the interior for production, and either
 stimulate production in new fields or
 cause high prices. Men not over san-
 guine think San Francisco may reach
 a population of 350,00O in this decade.
 It was before the city of New York
 had 350,000 inhabitants that the states
 men of that State saw the necessity of l improved communications with the
 grain and stock region of the West, as
 means of supplying the metropolis of
 the Atlantic seabOard and of cheapen- ing supplies. If any of our railroad
 builders are pausing in the enterprise
 of connecting this city and the AtIan-
 tic States by rail by way of Arizona,
 for fear that it will lack trade, they
 had as well dismiss their fears at once.
 It will not be many years till we of
 this city will have use for all the graz l ing lands of that Territory, and be able
 to create very rich trade, and lucra- l tive to any transportation company.
 There is now hardly an acre of pasture land in the Sierra Nevada from Shasta to the region behind Los Angeles, that is not alive with sheep and cattle; and this Summer the Cal Iifornians have been pushing their flocks eastward, invading the pastures of the State of Navada, because every thing is eaten up, and every available place occupied on the western slope. A few have sent both sheep and cattle into Arizona, with the intention of re- maining there.
 The Territory of Arizona is as large as,the State of Nevada. It is by no means the desert country it has been popularly advertised to be. Probably not more than one-fourth of it is desert and mountain. The greater part of the other three-fOurths is rated by good judges among the best natural grazing land on the continent. The climate is precisely that best adapted 10 the breed ing of sheep and cattle-neither too hot in Summer nor too cold in Winter, 1 and destitute of the moisture and mala- ria which breed sand-flles and mosuui- tos-the pests of all animal life. No where else on the Pacific slope, save in | the valleys of Oregon west of the Gas cade mountains, do tiocks and herds thrive and increase as those of Arizona. It affords the natural outlet for the herdsmen of California, and with the Apaches confined upon reservations and completely subdued as they are, there will, in year or two, be a gen eral movement of stock from tbis State to that Territory contingent only upon the probable speedy completion of rail way communication between this city and the ColOrado.-[S.

FINANCIAL.

Financially the Territory and her towns and counties can boast of their condition. The Territory has not ow- ed dollar for four years, has all the
 time a surplus in her treasury, and pays her bills cash down on presents
 tion. For general Territorial purpos- es the tax levy this year is twenty five cents on each one hundred dollars, and for Territorial school purposes tlf- teen cents s- thirty-five in all. The rate of tax in this county is but one dollar for county aud thirty five cents for school purposes, making tie rate for all purposes but $1.7O. It is safe to say that no county owes above twenty thousand dollars, and Pinal and Maricopa counties have merely nominal debt. All our political ma IS run economically. In election canvasses, economy is always demanded, but corruption is rarely charged on any patty, and, by the way, parties in the sense of Demo- cratic and Republican, have scarcely an existence and never had in Arizona. Law is fairly administered. With only moderately secure jails and penitentiary (at Yuma, as yet on pa per, criminals frequently escape, but life and property may be regarded as

the Union, save, perhaps, contiguous to the Sonora border. Whether the acquisition of Sonora or more of Mex ,ico would be locally or nationally a wise addition to our country, is a doubtful question, for our internation- al boundary would remain as it is that is, without 8 river, lake or moun~ tain range to clearly define it or oper- ate as a barrier to easy transit of rogues of every grade.
 SCHOOLS.
 A liberal public school system is fairly established, with a qualified compulsory educational clause. Boards of Supervisors are compelled to levy fifty cents on each $10O for public schools-ffteen cents on behalf of the Territory, and. thirty five on the coun- ty. Counties and districts may levy as much more as they choose. Pres colt, Phenix, Yuma, Florence and Tucson have excellent public school buildings, some of which are supplied with the famous Sterling school fur niture. In no section of the country is there greater need for good English schools than in the southern and southwestern portions of Arizona, for nearly all the pupils are Mexican and only acquire our language in the school-room. The majority of our teachers were experienced ones before coming here, and were selected with care. Arizona can safely stand com parison with any Territory on her ad- vance in the matter of free public ed ucation.
 CLIMATE OF ARIZONA.
 Like California, Arizona possesses all grades of climate. The settler can have that of Stockton, Sacramen- to or Marysville, or of the Sierras :; but, of course, we cannot offer any one the climate of the seashore. In our valleys proper, our summers are very warm, bat the heavy rains of July and August give variety to the air and produce new, green grass eve rywhere. Sunstroke is not known here, and general health prevails. In a few localities malarial fever is en- gendered, but as a whole the Territory is unusually free of it, and weak lunged people are generally improved by a life here almost anywhere they may choose to settle. As elsewhere the world over, good health here largely depends upon the care people exercise with regard to food, exposure and habits. An experience of over five years in this climate, induces me toI like it and so do most people of simi- lar experience.
 GLIDING REMARKS.
 Efforts to get fresh data on certain points of interest, in Yavapai county have failed. This is much 'egrettf1 2ecause of its importance The same is,true reGardlng Maricopa, 1t present the largest grain, four and pork producing of the several counties. From all others, some useful facts have )een reported upon request. But the general statements which are by far he more important abroad, may be egarded absolutely true. Wherein igures are given, in nearly every in tance they are exact, and in others lear enough for any one to form a cor ect opinion of the worth of the sub ect referred to.

GOLD In ILLINOIS.
The Auriferous Metal Found In Clutches

The Auriferous Metal Found I'm Clutches
and Streams Near Decatur in Paying
Quantities.
A telegram from Decatur, ILL.,, to the
Chicago Journal says: A party of old
miners yesterday visited the recently
discovered gold fields near this city, and
after prospecting in different places
f.long the stream, pan of dirt was taken
out of Dutch gullch, washed, and found
to contain from twenty to thirty cents
worth of shining yellow metal. Some of
the party not feeling satisfied, and fear
ing that trick of some sort had been
perpetrated, procured another pan
of dirt, this time taking it off the
top, which was washed and found to cou-
tain from three to four cents worth.
This last pan was pronounced by Captain
Mason and Mr.. Grow, who have followed
mining in California, as being rich
enough in gold to pay well for mining,
either on large or small scale.
The latest report to-day is that gold
has been found on the land belonging to
DIR. l.. n. Bills, adjoining that of Mr..
Kepler. A specimen found here was
brought to the city to-day, and we learn
that It stood the test applied to it. Fur
Their developments will be awaited with
great interest. Mr.. Kepler has refused

MIRACULOUS ESCAPE.
A Man Topples Over the River 2ank
Niagara Falls-Being Drunk, he Escapes
with Few bruises.


Niagara Falls-ISeing Drunk, he Escapes
with Few bruises.
The Buffalo Express says owed
nesday evening Frenchman named AL
bert Abattoy fell over the bank of the
river at Niagara Falls, distance of 40
feet, and, strange to say, escaped with
but few slight bruises. The acct
dent occurred on the Canada side of the
river, about 200 feet north of the new
bridge. Abattoy, who halls from Kings
ton, Canada, was intoxicated at the time.
He staggered over the bank, falling q
clear distance of 80 feet, on to the rock
below, and then rolling down 60 feet
more toward the edge of the water.
Thomas Conroy, the noted guide, ac-
companied by three or four others, as
soon as they learned of the accident,
rowed over from Prospect Park, expect
ing to find the unfortunate man
mangled mass of flesh and bones. Judge
of their establishment when, after short
search, they discovered him wedged in
between some rocks, swearing as lively
as any man in his position could,
and suffering no perceptible inju-
ries excepting few slight bruises.

and rowed over to the landing, where
every preparation had been made for the
appropriate reception of corpse. The
Frenchman, however, was not at all de-
sirous of availing himself of the priv
ileges, and on reaching the shore coolly
informed the crowd that there wasn't
a id bone broken" Neither was the
empty whisky-bottle which he had in his
pocket. The fall was terrible one, and
it is l.othing short of miraculous that the
man was not killed instantly. At the
same point where he fell over, German
musician met with similar accident,
two years ago, and was instantly killed.
1t was no doubt the quantity of whisky
he had imbibed saved him. Had he
been sober, there is scarcely a proba-
bility but that every spark of his life
would have been crushed out Of him by
the terrible shock his system received.
Abattoy was staggering round on the
Canada side of the Falls yesterday, as
unconcerned as though nothing had
happened. Persons intending to visit
the Falls should make note of his case
and get dead drunk, so as to be fully
provided for in case they should fall
over the bank.
