THE CITIZEN.
A TURDAY, JANUARY l, 1870
.r,zoua,s New Chief Justice.

The Sacramento Record has the fol
 lowing notice of the new Chief Jus t,ce of Arizona: "Our dispatche:
 yesterday stated that the Pres i;dent had sent to the Senate for con- lfmation the name of Mir. Charles E. IG. French, as Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Arizona. MT. French is resident of Sacramento,
 an old Californian, an accomplished
 iurist. and in all respects throughly
 we'll fitted to do honor to the appoint
 ment. He is native of Massachu-
 setts, and graduated from Harvard University, where he acquired that
 mental discipline which he has turned
 to the best account in his studies since.
 He is a classical scholar, in the old
 fashioned significance of the phrase, and is a member of that now rare lass of men who carry through life the taste for elegeant literature ac- ouired at the knees of their Alma Mater, and who prize their Aldines and Ehev;rs for the treasures of the text. and not for the curiosity of edi- tion or binding His reputation as a iurist stands emphatically high with the profession, and we believe that his appointment will be regarded by the Bar and Bench alike as one emi- nently fit to be made. His idiosyncrasy, indeed, is rather judicial than forensic, and his mastery of the science of law has long been recognized by his col leagues, among whom 1t has been 8 common observation that Judge French studies the cases of other law yers with as much care as though they were his own, and with as much conscientiousness as though he were required to pass upon them. In poll tics he IS Republican, and represent ed Sacramento in the State Legisla- ture two years ago, sitting upon the Special Code Commission appointed for that session. In these censorious' times it may perhaps be worth while to add that Judge French has lived 8 private life, and that dur ing @ residence here of some sixteen years, he has acquired the esteem and respect of his fellow citizens, all of. whom will agree in indorsing the pro- priety and fitness of his present. ap- pointment. As to the people of Ari- zona, they may congratulate them selves upon the prospect of @ Chief Justice who IS a scholar and a gentle man, and whose decisions will very be good law"

AN HONOR TO CALIFORNIA AN h honor to American literature! 4 book for the masses; everybody should have it, particularly everybody on the Pacific Coast. l. tells the merchant Of the cOun- try and It's products, and how business was conducted in early times.

California Interested.
The Alta lately said:

The Alta lately said:
 California has large interest in the development of the mines of Ari- zona, and our delegation should so- licit Congress to order map of that Territory like Hoffmann's map ct California A thorough study of the topography is indispensable for prop per geological survey, irrigation works, assessment, road making, in formation of settlers, and many other purposes. There IS much reason to believe that Arizona is destined to tread close upon the heels of Nevada as a source of treasure, and to occupy Q very prominent place in the industry of the Paciofc Slope. If we fail to complete our own map, we cannot with such good grace solicit Congress to make a map of Arizona.
 We have constant demands for maps, documents, etc., relating to Ari- zona, from all parts of this country and Europe. It is to be hoped the next Legislature will act literally upon the hint of The Alta, unless perhaps Congres may be induced to do so. Delegate Stevens might try that body's temper on the subject.

Public Schools i'm Russia.


 A New York paper has these inter- esting remarks on the changed and changing conditions on the school question in the Russian Empire:
 At present it is interesting to know that the subject of compulsory educa- ton has recently been brought before the Privy Council at St. Petersburg, Russia. From reports presented it appears that the number of common schools Is far from increasing in pro- portion to the inhabitants. This is partly owing to the peasants. who feel that they need all the service that can be obtained from their children. and partly because of the great nun Der of saints days and other holidays in the Greek calendar. It is stated in one report that there are about two hundred of these days in the year. A law has been projected which will make attendance at school compulsory tor children from seven to eleven years of age, provided they live within two miles of a common school. The year will vary from seven to ten months. The holidays are to be re- duced ln nun Der, Christmas. Twelfth day, Lady-day, Good-Friday, and the week following Easter, being the only ones recognized during the school months.

At Mineral Park, December 16, Hon. A. E. Davis wrote as follows to Gov. Stafford:
 I am very busy putting a mill on the Blackberry. Hope to have it running by February L The mine looks better as work progresses. We have three feet of ore in each drift at the 35-foot level that will average $500 per ton. We shall make bullion fast when we get the mill running.
 1 won my suit for possession of the McCracken mine without a struggle. hear that furnaces and mill will soon be running on the ore.
 The mill here at the Park will be ready to run about January1.
 The prospects of our county are cer- tainly better than ever.
