X HUGE BLOCK OF MEXICAN SILVER
 FOR THR CENTENNIAL-The City of Havana brought to New York on Thursday q block of pure silver weigh ing 4,20O pounds and worth SG4, GOO in gold. The block is a foot in diameter and has six sides each three feet long It Is perfectly smooth and highly polished. It belongs to Pic Bcrmeiillo
 < O., bankers of the City of Mexico, who have consigned il to GOmel, Roinda & Co.,, of No. 9. Old Slip, to be exhibited among the Mexican products at the Centennial. It was exhibited al the Mexican exhibition in Mexico last year. The silver forming this immense block Is said tO have been dug from
 Real POtOsi, one of the oldest mines in Mexico. The treasure lies in d hexag- onal box in the hold of the Stcamship| City of Havana. The purser of the Havana says that the silver block in it's box laId day and night unguarded on a wharf at Vera Cruz. Tt wouldn't stay long on Q wharf in New York" he added. The silver is tO be examined. by the United States Appraiser to- and then it Is to be deposited in the New York Safe Deposit com pany'S vaults 10 await orders from the Mexican Centennial COmmissiuner.-I New York Sun, March II.
 The fccetiOus purser's remark that the block of silver would not have stayed long on wharf in New York, may be very true, although it is quite tame in Its significance. There are undoubtedly thieves in New York, and there are notoriously thieves. in Mexico, and if we belonged to a na- ton whose thieves would leave & S64, l OO0 unguarded block of silver, on an' open wharf in a city, in hard times, throughout whole day and night, un- stolen, we would be very careful toI never say anything about it.

Mail FaeIlisien-
The San Diego Union, of March 90.

The San Diego Union, of March 90. The people of Southern California [ and Arizona will renew thelr thanks to ! Senator Sargent for his action in pro Touring the extension of the additional mail service by steamer. IL IS very great convenience tO this people, and 1 is appreciated. Even in inc Summer ! time we ought to have the benefit of good mail facilities between the sever al towns on the coast. When the over land service is in the very best order, lit requires five days to get mail matter from Santa Barbara, San Luis Obispo and Ventura 10 San Diego, while the mails from San Francisco, 2GO miles
 farther north, come through in three days. The business of this coast Is !n-
 pOrtant enough to demand the most
 complete mail facilities that can be e1-
 tended Tn this connection we arc
 reminded of the fact that the people off
 Arizona have not yet Obtained whal
 they are justly entitled Go, and havel
 been asking the past year. daily
 mail on the southern overland route
 The mails are now sent hence trl-week- ly, being held over here, instead of gu
 ing right on through every day. Nel
 believe that the mall service Is for the
 benefit of the whole people, who are, taxed to pay for it, and that the argu- ment of economy does not apply as the accommodation extended 1 tO any one section. The great routei through to Mesilla, New Mexico, passes through a section in which the Gov ernment has numerous military posts and Indian agencies, and which Is rapidly being developed by an ener- yctic and enterprising population. The towns of Yuma, PhenIx, Florence and Tucson, m Arizona, and Silver City and Mesilla in New Mex
 co, with numerous smaller villages md settlements at intermediate points dong the line, are interested deeply in
 his matter, aS we'll as San Diego, and '
 heir wants should be regarded by thel We believe the delegation rom the Pacific Coast appreciates these acts and will labor to secure the inter , .stS of the public in this regard. We Ire sure that Senator Sargent k 8nx- Ous to procure for the people every i Governmental benefit 10 which they c Ire justly entitled.

THE finest railroad opportunity in the United States, says the Los Ange- les Express, is the route between Los Angeles and the terminus of the Utah Southern. The business that can be developed on that route would give a railroad the most profitable employ ment of any railroad in this country. It would open to life and activity some forty or fifty mining districts that are lying dormant simply because they cannot be successfully worked as long as they are isolated from the outside world. It would create 8 market for the products of Southern California that would insure a very large freight tariff. ItwOuld inaugurlte an overland trade by way of the Union Pacific which would in time become almost as important as that by the Central Pacific. It would develop a lateral trade which would supply one-half the ter ritOry lylng between the line of the new railroad and the Central Pacific, and nearly all the territory of North ern Arizona. It would benefit the peO- pie of San Francisco and those who live along the line of the Central Paci- fic by a connection that would force down the tariff on the only road down in operation through the region, and would be a corrective of the freights and fares generally exacted by the great corporation It is impossible that a route possessing the manifold advan- tages which are conceded to the Los Angeles and Independence road can long remain unutiliZed. It needs but that the capitalists at the East should be made conversant with the possibili- ties of the route to render the scheme of its construction one of the most popular investments ever placed upon the market The proper parties are now promoting the enterprise in New York, and we shall expect shortly to hear good news from them.

4 Man with an Aim.

Give me man with an aim,
 Whatever that aim may be, Whether it's wealth or whether It's fame
 It matters not to me. Let him walk in the path of right,
 Only keeping his aim in sight, And work and pray in faith alway,
 With his eyes on the glitterlng height. Give me man who says
 ''I will do something well, And make the feeting days
 A story or labor tell.' Though the aim he has be small,
 IL Is better than none at all; With something to do the whole year
 through,
 He will not stumble or fall. But Satan weaves a snare
 For the feet Of those who stray, With never a thought or care
 Where the path may lead away. The man who hath no aim
 Not only leaves no name When this !ife's done, but ten to one He leaves a record of shame. Give me a man whose heart Is hlled with ambitions fire; Who sets his mark on the start. And moves 1t higher and higher. Better to die in the strife. The hands with labor rife. Than to glide with the stream in an Idle
 dream,
 And live a purposeless life.

IaVapai Matters.

The Miner of March 3l, says:
 C. C. Bean Esq, returned h0m San Francisco on Monday, and reports the chances for a mill in Peck district very favorable After exhibiting his ores Co mining, mill and foundry men and explaining the situation of affairs, he was offered anything he wanted in the way of machinery or other assistance on reasonable time and favuraJl terms.
 Wells and O'BrIen have struck a quartz mine on Lynx creek, which Q BrIen informs Us assays over two thousand dollars to the ton We are no miner, but indsmuch as O'Brien i> a lucky name, and Wells secs a long ways ahead, owing tO his cereJro-spi- nai-meningitis luugitudinality, we have concluded Go become a locator in their discovery, with a possible, prospect of becoming Bonanza King, like the hangers on of Flood anI O'Brien who have gotrich in spite oi themselves.
 Judge Charles T. Hayden, who has been East on business, including the purchase of goods for the stores iu which he Is Interested in this and Mari capa counties, called upon Us on Tues day. The Judge is still hopeful that the Southern Pacific will cross the Col oradO at or near EArcnbcr~ and traverse Sait River valley on Is Way Co Tucson. He looks very stout and healthy, ana expresses greater faith than ever in the future of Arizona. His long residence has attached him to the soil as well as given him superior advantages for studying and learning the requirements of the country, and he gives it as his deliberate opinion that d railroad via Yuma would ncVhcr be useful nor prof liable as compared with the route via and PheniX.

The Arizona COIOnfsts.

Here IS another item, taken from tht
 Boston Globe of February %, concern | ing Arizona colonistS. It undoubtedly
 refers to the party previously noticed
 in these columns. The Globe says:
 ! Yesterday afternoon a farewell meet ! ing of the Arizona colony was held ir
 John A. Andrew Hall. Judge $. W ! CoZZens first gave short address in q | forclble and earnest manner. The speech was full of good advice and ! directions to the cOlOniSts concerning the enterprise. He was received hearti i ly by the meeting. Captain George H
 Pettis then made pithy speech of the same tenor as that of Judge Cozzens. ] After the address, which occupied but
 short time, an oyster supper was
 kindly furnished by Mir. Huggins, the janitor of the building. The time then passed pleasantly until the meet ing broke up about five o'clock. The
 members of the colony. together with
 ther friends, then departed for the
 New York and New England depot,
 where they waited until the SIX o'clock
 train for New York started. This
 branch of the colony consists of fifty strong and well determined men, who
 have had the enterprise long in mind and who intend to make home for themselves and families. Some of them intend to try farming, others stock raising, and many will devote them selves 10 mining entirely. The men are hardy, well developed, and for the most part experienced Several of theI younger ones, although not as expc- rienced as the rest, nor aS much used tO all kinds of weather, have a strongi tO work, and they will TO doubt succeed. Quite 8 number of dogs for hunting and companiOnship, | were also taken with them. and hunt ! ing apparatus of all kinds was in ! great demand. Those of the expedi- ! ton having wives and families intend | 10 send for them when all is settled | satisfactorily.
 This is very pleasant reading, and we are glad these cOlonists are coming here. If they are of the right kind they can make money here, if they are of the wrong kind they will get discOur- aged and return to BOsting," with sufficient experience to write books of marvellous adventure, real or suppOsi- .itious, and thus make money. The only thing which we can't exactly un- lerstand n the above account, is the of the oyster supper by ], Huggins. the janitOr of the building If tie friends of the cOlOnists, or even
 he fOrciblo and earnest COZZens, had stood" the oysters, it would have Deen intelligible enough. But without my forewGrning, or anything t0 lead up O if, Higgins, (the great, perhaps, l, ;omps on the boards, and kindly fur lishes an oyster supper. We are sorry hat we don't know more about this de ightful Huggins. The name is par icularly pleasing, and we regret tol lave him present such discOnsonancel $ to be the janitor of the buildingI nd to let that building, and then to ,ratuitously throw in an oyster supper | md leave d questioning world toll rope after the connecting links.
