Ancient Order of Aztees-

The California papers have frequent ly referred to thls order as having quite d membership in Arizona. We have made careful lnquiring ani can not hear of any lodges in the Territory Mir. J II. Magee of Tucson, informs Us that there is authority here to esiab- fish lodge in Tucson, and that there is some thought of starting one; and we are indebted to him for a copy of the constitution of the order, by which we learn what some of the pur- poses O: the order are. Sections and ? of article VII, reads:
 SEC. l. The chef purpose of the or der k 10 create and induce a feeling of perfect harmony between citizens of the Republic of Mexico and the cIti- zens of the United States of America.
 SEC ?. The two nations having a common destiny, should have common interests and common laws, and il is the duty of each and every member of the order 10 labor faithful to this end
 SEC. 3, article K reads: All the members of the order in good standing shall be entitled to whatsu- ever benefit may be derived from the labor of the order, and such as have or may acquire property interests within the Republic of Mexico within the scope of the action of the order, will receive aid to the full extent of its power in securing 10 them the full lest protection ill all theiS just and legal rights, in the manner specified by article 1, section l, of the secret work.
 Not less than ten nor more than fOrly warriors shall constitute and encamp In any one lodge. There iS expense, as to all sOcie- ties, attending the formation of lodge
 From all we can leam, the order as now conducted seems tO be the ere aIion of San Fra cisco people, and this fact does not inspire one with the belief that The leaders are wholly un- selfish. Americans seem to be the controlling spirits Of the institution. The constitution shows that all the purposes of rhe order are known only tD initiated members.

The Cost of AriesIan Wells.

The California Immigrant Union pub- lIshed the following figures which ap- ply 10 the sinking of wells in San Der nardino counD, and we give them in THE CITIZEN as furnishing a good basis for estimating the cost in this neichborhood:
 Of iron pipe, double. seven inches in diameter, various depths:
 First jO feet boring. al 90 cents per foot, $2j; 50 feet pipe, al $l.05 per foot, SJ25O. d j0 feet well costs S51j0.
 Second D feet boring, al $l per foot, S5D; 50 feet pipe al $l.O5, $j2 50; 100 feet well c"sls SlS0.
 Third jO feet boring, at $150 per foot, SD; 50 feet pipe. at $l.05, 52.50; a 1JO feet we'll cpsis S30160.
 Fourth % feet boring al $2, $l00; 90 feet pip, at S1.0j, S52.50; 8 200 feel we'll costs $460
 The flow varies in different wells. bul there are very few that will not iTrigafe 40 to 50 acres. The capacity may be stated a 40 to 200 acres. \ flow of IF inch over ihe pipe is e,lim- ated to give 6,OOO gallons per hour, or supply town of 1000 inhabitants, using % gallons each per day.
 The Territory of Arizona has a stand ing reward of from 5000 to $5OOO for the party who succeeds in nklng the first well that will flow freely, and the Desert Land Law will give the party G4O acres of land at Sl.25 per acre. It seems with such inducements, an ar tesian well ought to be sunk near Tue son.
