EVERY mail brings letters of inquiry to this office from various parts of the country. Considerable inquiry is now made by citizens of Colorado. These inquiries now come from all classes, with a fair proportion of men who have means for investment. Many of them are answered Tn such detail as our time will permit. More would gel attention, if they would simply inclose an addressed and paid envelope for re ply. It is unjust to ask for several hours of careful labor for nothing with the further expectation that the cost of stationery and stamps will be borne by us. If seekers for information, would inclose paid and addressed envelopes, they would in nearly all cases get sati,- factory replies. Many inqr rers write their name and pOstOificF D wreiched ly that with the aid of postal and bUsi- ness directories, they cannot be sa,is faciori!y deciphered. Papers and doc uments cannot be made nor mailed without expense, and writers for them should at least inclOse necessary post age If but one letter of tbe kind now and then were received, the case would be different yet none the less just as we present it, but when dozens come each week, the item of postage is one of some importance.

AN ARIZONA PRODUCT UNDER THE MICROsCOPE.-At the last meeting of the MicrOscopical Society, II. c. Hanks presented a sample of vegetable sub stance found on the beds of dried-up lakes in the deserts of Arizona and Southeast California. He stated that some parties here had conceived the idea that paper could be made of the maternal, winch was white and cOttonv in appearance. An examination with the microscope showed the filaments to be composed of cells loosely jointed. The whole mass was but q collection of interwoven filaments of conferya, wkich have lived during some flood of water, and, as the lakes became dry. were left tO be blown about by the winds, and, as they are often found ap- parently descending from the sky. have been named aerophytes, though formerly regarded as of mejeOric ori- gin. It would be a waste of capital to endeayOr to manufacture paper from a material which has no fibre, though, perhaps, a feltlike body might be ob- tained. \ slide, with portion of the tilaments was eXamIned.-San Fran. cisco Bulletin.

Ancient Order Of Aztecs.

The following subordinate Lodges Oi the \. O. A, have been organized dur. ing the past week: Harmony Lodge, with twenty-seyen members Major W. B. Hardie, Inca. Pinal Lodge, with thirty-six members; J. R. Hoyt, Inca. MO-teZuma Lodge, with eighteen mem bers; Dr. Henry Gashwiler, Inca. Dos Arroyos Lodge, with forly-fiye mem- bers; Santiago Mendoza, Inca; and Guerrero Lodge, with sixteen members Wm. k. Tillinghast, Inca.
 Intelligence from Chihuahua, SOno- ra, Durango, Slnaloa, New Mexico and Arizona, especially, represent the af- fairs of the Order as in eXcellen. con diuOn, both Meyicans and Americans working harmoniously for the con- mon good. A Grand Almoner and several Grand Incas will be elected and commissioned by the Royal Court on March 20th.
 Last week, we gave an item on this order, from a San Francisco paper and the above is from The Alta of the 16th. The question arises, what are the ob- jects of the order? NIT. Frank Staples, who was recently in San Francisco, was informed that the maiE object is to encourage and protect commercial and business enterprises between Mexi- co and the United States, but in no way to favor annexation, and that the members are men of good and reputa- ble standing in society and business circles in theIr own country.
 We called on MT. D. EelaSco the other day for information in this re spect and found he knew nothing of the order, and says that in the many Mexican journals he receives, no men, ton is made of it Tn Mexico. Mir. Ve- lasco is a close reader and intelligent observer, especially of everything af- fecting the interests of Mexico, and he thus far is in the dark regarding this extensive Ancient" order. judged by the reports in the California press and these same reports speak as if this Territory and many of the Mexi- can States were alive with lodges and members.

Waiting.

Serene, I fold my hands and walt. Nor care for wind. or tide, or sea; l rave no more 'gainst time or fate, For lo! my own shall come 10 me. l stay my haste, make delays,
 For what avails this eager pace? stand amid the eternal ways,
 And what is mine shall know my face. Asleep, awake, by night pr day,
 The friends l seek are seeking me; No wind can drive my bark astray, Nor change the tide of destiny. What matter if I stand lone?
 wait with joy the coming years; Ely heart shall reap where it has sown And garner up its fruit of tears. The waters know their own and draw The brook that springs in wonder
 night;
 So flows the good with equal law
 Unto the soul Of pure delight. The stars come nightly to the sky; The tidal wave unto the sea; Nor time, nor space. nor deep, nor high, Can keep my own away from me.

JAMES GILES, defaulting postmaster at Prescott, is seeking a pardon at the
 hands of the President, with the sole view of restoration to citizenship. IL will be remembered that his dedication was near Sl000O; that from and after his capture, he has done all he could to make restitution and has succeeded in saving hIs bond,men from loss above about S30OO: that he was sen fenced 10 two years imprisonment and commenced to serve the term one year ago last October, since which he has shown constant evidence of sin cere regret al having committed the crime and a determination to lead a good life in the future. His pardon has been recommended by Judge Tweed before whom be was tried and by L. $. District Attorney Pomroy, and other officers and good citizens. By the tune the papers can reach Wash ington and be acted upon, his term of imprisonment deducting legal credits for good behavior, will have about eX- pIreG. Under all the circumstances as we understand them, the prisoner de- serves q pardon. He intends 10 re main in Arizona and prove to the peo- ple that he can and will be a good citizen.

Gov. SAFFORD received a letter from Capt. Clay Beauford in charge of vol uuteers, early this week. The Captain was then at Bowie. Had not captured any savages but felt confident that their whereabouts could and would be found. He had about used up some of his pack animals, but Adju- tant General Hughes attended to that want. Capt. Beauford says that for several days, he had been scouting with Maj. Worth and company, and that the Major was acting in hearty accord with him. This. we are the more glad to hear, because 1t in crtases the hope that ere long the guilty eavages will be found and pun ished.

Filling up Properly, Gc.

Arizona Is now receiving daily ad- dltions to its population. As is always the case, some who come expecting to remain will be dissatisfied and leave the Territory; others, however, who come to Hook round" will permanent ly locate One good thing is that a large proportion of the newcomers are men of some means, and can afford to patiently examine into the merits of the mines and other sources of wealth. This class ought in the main to come first, and the day laborer gradually fol- low. For the prospector, we doubt if there is a field superior to Arizona in America. His opportunities here are almost limItless, and for the man of means there are many claims so far developed as to enable him to quite correctly pass upon their worth. All through the mountains, claimants are gradually opening up their quartz lodes, many of whom will, we trust, not long look in vain for any means they may need to enlarge their opera tions.
 And by way of illustration of what claimants with very little means may do, we may cite the fact that Ir E, \. Fish recently shipped oRs ton of top. ore from the Los Angeles" q lode this side the Santa Rita mountains, toI San Francisco, aud realized profit of Sl09 in gold, The assay of the oreI showed it's actual value to be $28l. Had the quantity of ore been larger, iti would have sold for larger per cent of the assay value. Col. James II. Barney aud perhaps others at Yuma, are prepared to and do advance money on ores. Claimants of very small means Can, therefore, ship ores without em- harrassment We know of many ship ments 10 San Francisco. and are quite. sure tina. in nearly every case, a ffue| profit was realized. No higher proof, need be asked of the richness of our. mines. Ores that can be transported 300 to 400 miles by wagon and almost thousands by steamer, and then yield 8 profit to the shipper, are very naiu- rally attracting ihe attention of mining speculators and operators The busi- ness of mining and milling in Arizona, m the main, still has to be systemati- zed by capital and true scIence, but the men representing these elements are fiocking in by every stage.
