 frieght from New York, Chicago, St. Louis
 Leavenworth and Kansas City to Fort Gar land, Colorado. the present terminus of the

 These are the rates according to the clas- sifcationS which can be seen at NIT. Mur- -ay'S office Special and car load rates are given. The Kansas Pacific company arc anxious tO secure the Prescott business, and offer extra low rates on goods consigned to this point Tho rate on ore from Fl Moro 10 Kansas City will be S6 per ton. Rate on copper pig and bar from Kansas City to Baltimore will be so cents on the 100 poun Is. These rates are very low, and much below tariff, and we thiEk should induce people to ship by that line.
 Freight by the car load, 10000 pounds, from Denver to Fl Moro is S,2. The regu- lar rate from Denver to Fl Moro is 50 cents on the 100 pounds. The road being com peted to Fort Garland the rate will be in- creased about five per cent. on these rates
 MT. Murray has also letters from foun- dries in Chicago and Denver. The former offer to deliver. free on board the cars, a complete l0-stamp gold quartz mill, high mortars, with 25-horSc-powcr stationery en- zine and tubular boiler, electro-plated cop per sheets, retorts, pipes, bellng. etc, for s3. 100 currency. The Denver foundry oi iers a l0-stamp gold mill, low mortars, com plete with engine, boiler, plates, retorts, etc, for g, 800 currency. With these advanta- gcs in favor of the East, and al lower rates of freight. why will our merchants and others purchase goods, machinery, etc, ID San Francisco! Chick, Brown X Co. offer to transport freight from Fl Moro to Pres colt by OK teams at ! cents per pound, and by mule teams at cents; and If they are assured of a large business this rate could be materially reduced Weu lderstand that next month Gen.

 Tucson has. for long time, been receiv- ing the greater part of her merchandise from that direction. and the result Is that prices there of all classes of goods are nearly fifty per cent. cheaper than here. As our town has not yet reached sufficient size and importance 10 boast of board of trade, or chamber of commerce., We would suggest that our merchants and citizens call meet ing, organize and present their views and plans for the opening of business with the eastern cities.
