San Francisco Interested iu Ari-

Heretofore much talk has prevailed of San Francisco mInlng capitalists being interested in our mines: now there may not be so much talk but considerable more real fact. The same stage which recently brought us from San Diego to Tucson, brought two in telligent representatives of San Fran cisco mining operators, and they say the feeling ;s growing in favor of Ari- zona We could hardly attend to our own business while in the city. because of time asked and given Co interviews on the subject Much of that citv's current prosperity k due directly to the interest of its people in gold ard silver mining, and they are determined to make it the great mlninr and bul. lion center of this country if not of the world. The railway and mining men of the city are reaching out and getting holds in all the Territories and States of the Pacific. Montana. Utah and Colorado, although quite distant. are not overlooked by them, and our people may be assured they do not m tend to have any secondary hold on ArIzona The Alta recently said in this behalf:
 As the Southern Pacific railroad k being rapidly advanced. there k a strong disposition manifested by our capitalists to invest in mminr proper ileS in Arizona Lacking the princi. pal facilities to make mining success iui, they have, with crude machinery and expensive transportation. made some Of this class of property profita- ble 10 a degree to interest lcaiinp min. ing operators.

The Proposed State or South Cali
 fOTniR.

The people Of Los Angeles have, for a quarter Of a century, cherished the hope that a new state would be organ lzed in Southern California, with their city for is capital, and now that their region is prosperous and the popula- ton rapidly increasing, they have more to say than ever Our State is now much larger than any other save Texas, and we do not know any good reason why there should not be a di- vision at some time in the future. if the dividing line can be agreed upon. Al present, however. the population south of Santa Clara and Merced counties though we presnme Monterey and Fresno would much prefer to remain in the same State with San Francisco -iS not sufficient to maintain a State Government properly. Neither. so far as We had the opportunity to observe does San Diego. Santa Barbara. san Luis Obispo or Kern county. show any desire in reference t0 change; and presume that if the scheme were sub mitted to a popular vote it would be defeated in most of the counties in. lerested. A State government is an ex. penslve luxury. and is heavy enough when it has he support of SOO,OOO peo- ple,without reducing the number to 100000, with not one-fifteenth par, of the wealth of California as it is now.

EDITOR REPUBLICANS:
In your report of the proceedings had in

published in your issue of this morning. l
think the Abatement that 20 resolution Of
fered by Governor Kellogg as substitute
for that of Mr.. Black, authorizing The f,tnd-
inq" ETC., gives rise to an ambiguity which
might lead the hssty reader to infer that
the nature OF the resolution offered by me
was favorable to funding the million loan.
This inaccuracy. trust, you will permit me
to correct.
called attention to the fact that so great
have been the Irregularities attending the
uses made of these bonds, that, including
the original inception, there have arisen
ten separate acts Of the Legislature bear
ing directly or indirectly upon them; that
two suits could scarcely arise in which the
State might not hold different lines of de-
Tense, and that therefore no one case could
Justly be accepted as q test case.
NV resolution of yesterday was based
upon these views aud Was in these words:
"rhat the board do not fund the one mil
lion loan, except in 80 far as its validity
has been pronounced upon by the Supreme
Court, as in the Morey case" | followed
this resolution with the remark that in
good conscience could 60 no further than
this, and if overruied would be compelled
to enter my protest.
Governor kellogg then offered tie sub
etitute referred to in your report, that the
whole loan be funded, etc., in which he
was sustained by majority of the board
have taken the liberty to italicize q few
words for the sake of emphasis.
