STEAMBnATS - The Gila sailed for Ehrenberg on the 27th. arrived on the 29th, left at 9, 4. M. on the Both, and ar rived here about 6 P. NJ. of the same day.

They stood the test well, not drop of moisture escaping anywhere. The Gila is edvertis ed to sail for Ehrenberg to morrow at 10 A. M. and the Cocopah to sail for Mohave on the 9th, at same hour. The steamboats now carry pursers. As soon as this freight business gets on an even keel again, we hope to be able to furnish freight lists to our readers Tn the interior.

TIE Western Union Telegraph Compa- ny gets au il-merited compliment from the Citizen, for having cut down its rates be- tween Arizona and San Francisco. The facts are, that the W. U. IS the biggest telegraph monopoly in the world that dur ing the many years it operated its lines to San Diego 1t charged as exOrbitart rates as the public could stand, and made no reductions Of any kind until forced to do so by the Atlantic & Pacific Company
 when their lines reached Yuma; aud that 1t has always squelched every competing line, until the A. & P. successfully com peted with it and attracted public pa trnnage by liberal policy. Under these circumstances We cannot join Tn any praise of the W. U. Go for a reduction of rates due to compulsiOn, rather than to any lberality of disposition, To what extent thls company influences the course of the Military Telegraph. time will show; but if our local telegrapbic facilities are to be controlled to any extent by either of the two corporations, We prefer taking our chances with the A. & P, rather than with the selfish, grasping Western Union.

THE R. E. TERMINUS at Colorado Station now presents busy scene and
 To an outsider. one of apparent confusion. The station is temporary ore, located right at the door of Iaeger's house on the California bank of the river, about one mile below the Fort. One of the c, s, N, Co.'s barges No. 2 is anchored at the bank for wharf and is connected by stag ing with a freight platform The station will be abaDdoned,as soon as the bridge and depots here in town are completed Therefore no freight sheds or other build ings have been erected. All freight IS kept in the cars. until ready to be discharged on the platform and loaded into the steam- CTS for conveyance to Yuma and other points on the river Four side tracks are kept constantly occupied by 75 10 100 freight cars, and freight seems to accu- mulate faster than 1t can be discharged into the steambOats. One car Is fitted up as a business and telegraph office. Others and larger ones are fitted up as boarding and lodging houses for employees. 4 marked feature of the terminus is the car occupied as store by Slsson & Wallace and presided over jointly by an American and Chinaman, the latter being required for the transaction of business with the Chinese labOrers. No liquor is allowed to be sold by them. The train leaves for Los Angeles daily at 6 P. M., comprising a mixed lot of passenger, box and flat cars. Immediately behind the engine are three immense tanks, completely covering as many flat cars and designed to furnish water to the locomotive across the long stretches between wells on the desert $50 more Chinamen were shipped off this week, as the grading on the California side is now completed right up to the bank opposite town. We noted several Mexi can teams loading up broken boxes and other debris of the abandoned camps Poor scavengers What of value do they hope Chinaman would leave behind We are told that tbe bridge is to be wooden truss, with draw for the passage of steambUats; that the material has been got cut, dressed and numbered in read mess for shipment; and that it will be shipped as soon as the work is finished on the Cali tOrnia side of the river. There now re- mains to overcome only the slough east of Iaeger's This involves building the road on piles a distance of about 700 feet, Up. on this pile driver aud donkey engine are are at work and the job will be fpIshed ln about ten days. Then the bridge material will arrive aad by the time the bridge IS laid, the force on this side will have the ground graded and ready for the Yuma depots, repalr-shoPs &c, Machinery brought in this week comprises 70 tors ot quartz mill &c for the Signal Mining Company of Greenwood and smelling furnace for the Haskins Company of Globe Dis trict.
