RECOGNIZING the nearly absolute ne cessity for immediate action on the i'm portant subject of timber growing on the public lands, there was introduced into the Senate on the 17ih inst, a bill authorizing citizens of Colorado, Neve- da and the Territories to fell and re- move from the public domain timber for mining and domestic purposes. It is to be hoped that this bill will pass and become law without any obstruc- ton and at the earliest possible date. Without some such action every citi- zen of this Territory, with very few ex- captions, is constantly rendering him self liable to criminal and civil prose cution.

Co., RICHARD J. HINTON obliges us with map prepared to accompany his Hand Book on Arizona" A hasty examination leaves the impression that it Is accurate as a map can be made up from accumulated official data-bOth civil and military; and il also has some very useful information collected from various private sources. By it, the read CT cannot well go astray in looking up any locality in person or on paper If the book corresponds in accuracy with the map, it will be one of value to the public-especially to that portion of it looking towards Arizona for home or investments.

GENERAL PROGRESS.

Arizona is gradually increasing in population and wealth. Her exports consist chiefly of gold, silver, copper, lead, wool and hides, and the increase in each is highly encouraging; and she produces flour, bacon, lard, cattle, mules and horses enough for the ac- tual pOpuIaIon - furnishes some of these items for military and Indian consumption. Horses, cattle and sheep are being brought here from CalifOr- mia and Texas and among them are many blOoded animals. Stock of all kinds is healthy in Arizona, and the Winters are so mild that they never need shelter and they fatten on the natural grasses the whole of the year. During the present year there has been a noticeable increase in the amount of peaches, grapes, apples and other fruits and a corresponding improvement in their quality. Many privallons Inci- dent to newly settled Territories are things of the past. Better dwel .ings are being erected and furnished in q manner that clearly indicates q pur- pose of the owners permanently to re main. Tine Territory has passed through the period wherein much of the population was undecided whether to remain or to go elsewhere. To the hostility of the Indians, much of the uncertainty was due There is now no reasonable doubt but that peace will hereafter prevail. The general prosperity of the people ought to be very satisfactory. Not single case of failure among merchants has occurred for over a year. Very few, if any peo- pie, are necessarily idle and the de- mand for labor is gradually increasing.
 This condition of advancement has, been reached at great disadvantage m some respects. Much of our imports has been transported from 300 to 900 and some 900 miles from the steamer and railway, al an expense of from eight to twelve cents per pound, and our best means of travel and of tran sporting the mails were stages over like distances. This drawback prevail ed when we had to import much and had but little to export. Now the South ern Pacific Railroad runs daily pas
 senger and freight trains 10 our west ern border on the Colorado river and will soon extend into the Territory; and as transportation is quickened and cheapeued, our imports are decreasing and exports increasing, comparatively speaking. And owing to this general advancement made by capital and la bor m Arizona, it is but reasonable that Congress should be asked to shape ifs legislation with reference to our various classes of lands, so as to pro mote the welfare of the people In doing so the government will also be. benefited

A dam nearly twenty-five miles long is t0 be carried across the gulf, and upon this pumping machines of 10000 horse power are to be placed, capable of discharging 6.500,0OO cubic meters of water daily from the inclosed sea.

THE British Silver Commission made a report last year, in which il Is stated that statistics prove that gold IS the more uncertain metal as regards value. The annual product of gold within the century has varied tenfold, while silver has only varied twofold. If only one metal is to be used as q basis for the silver should be that metal on account of its more general use, its greater stability of production and is much sllghter variations in value as with other articles.
