The Desert Land Law.

The lsw in itself. authorizing citizens tC perfect title to desert land under condition of irrigation, is not apparently bad one
 but if land not desert may be included in such location, and if this result cannot be avoided. then the law becomes bad one and should be repealed. The public will bear in mind that q location Is not equiva- lent to title. Competent authority must pass upon the question whether the tract To- cated, or any portion of it. comes under the provisions of the law. The competent au- thority in this case Is the Secretary of the Interior, a man never charged with com plicity with rings of any kind. He will give the final interpretation to the Desert Land law, and determine what kind of lands may, and what kind may not. be located under the provisions of the law. Any per son can go upon any unoccupied land be- longing to the | nited States within the limits defined by this law asd make loca- tion. But this location does not secure the property. The locator must show that the land was subject tn location under . proper interpretation of the law. Of course we un- derstand that land offices are sometimes subject to improper influence. and that there is way to obtain decision that land is desert land. The question of the utility of the Secretary of the Interior to enforce the r.ndering of honest decisions. A Desert Land law which only exposed desert land to location would cause vast tracts of now worthless land to be reclaimed by irrigation, and this we believe was the idea of the present law. But it appears upon trial that the provision of the law cannot be executed without exposing fertile lands to location, its repeal will he demanded. We have faith in the absolute integrity of Secretary Schurz, and trust that he will find some way to defeat the schemes of the mOnopo- lists If he doubts his ability to do this, he will recommend repeal of the law at the next session of Congress. and we shall then sec who will uphold the law after its work ings are exposed.-S $.

McCrackin.

No were favored with a call this morning
 from George R. Ammond, Esq, an old ac- ouaintance of our family and many other
 resilents of Prescott, now the business agent of NIessrs. White X Allen, the greatest mill
 builders on the Pacific slope. Mr. Ammond's
 business in Prescott at this time iS to con
 tract for l32 900 feet of lumber besides other material to be used in the erection of a twenty stamp mill for the McCrackin Com many at Nashville, three and a half miles ! below the old Greenwood mill on the Sandy. Mr. Ammond is man of great experience in almost every variety of business and has few superiors. His most intimate acquaintances here did not recognize in him the George of old in his new role of disguise caused by the crisping sun of the Sandy counTy. where the thermometer has ranged at about 1l5 degrees. The McCrackin Company, dur ing the month of May, with the old lame mill at Greenwood, with only about seven stamps available. under the excellent man agement of Abe Bateman and NIT. Pierce, run out oyer thirty thousand dollars with force, to extract the ores of the famous Me Crackin, of only two men. The public can judge what the yield will be from this won dcrful bonanza mine when the new 20stamp mill is completed and the old mill is over hauled and made as good as new. With thirty stamps manipulated by new and pow crtul machinery the result will be the Me Crackin will produce, during the year sue ceeding the erection of the new works al- ready commenced, at least million and a half of dollars.
 The Signal l0-stamp mill, under the man. agement of NIT. Lect, Is being erected by this same company, White & Allen, and Is going up near the site of the McCrackin 20-Stamp mill. It is owned by Lect, Ewing, Tozier and Governor SafTord The ore to be work cd in the Signal is from an extension of the McCackin, called the San Francisco This mill is nearly completed and we hope soon to chronicle the fact that it is producing large quantities of the acceptable and need ful metal. More mail facilities are needed and are likely to be had from this place to Greenwood, which will bring Us in quick and close connection with this wealthy min ing district.

NEW COUNTY BUILDINGs.-The Board oi Supervisors, according to advertisement, re- ceiyed bids up to l2 o'clock NJ. to-day for the erection of county buildings. The num- bcr of bids for the work were, we under stand, three; as follows: John W. Curtis. S55,460; Wilson 6 Haskell, $j3.900 G. while that of Campbell & Parker was for the full amount authorized by law to he paid. which was even SG0,O0O Messrs. Will son X Haskell are both young and active, good mechanics, with a steam manufactorv. and are prepared to do the work somewhat cheaper than their competitors. The body of the building Is to be of granite, ana is to be erected on the public plaza after the plan or design of MT. Parker, accepted by the Board of Supervisors some time since. We are under the impression that Messrs. Will son X Haskell took the contract quite low. Still. by close attention and hard work they may be able to make handsome profit out of the contract. Such is our wish and that of many others.

The Superintendent of the Zalida mine reports that the main incline is now down 49 feet and is strengthening up. The vein at that depth shows eighteen inches of fine ore. A drift has been run 90 feet north ward from the incline and connection made from that point to the surface Another incline will be started from the end of the drift, on body of rich quartz five feet in width.
 The Miriam, another mine owned by the same company, located about one mile west of the Zalida. is opening up finely. Recent assays run into the thousands.
 The Maryland, owned by Col Reynolds and Capt. simpson. situated about half a mile south cf the Zalida, shows fattering prospects. Superintendent Bayard of the latter mine k about to put on more men to extract the rich quartz uncarthcd to-day.

! PECK MIIL--Thc mill heretofore known and talked of as the Black Warrior alias
 the Murat Mining Company's mill has been purchased by the Peck Company and will hereafter be known as the Peck mill.
 The mill k to be up on War Eagle Creek. at the Peck mine, and within one hundred
 yar'ls of the main working shaft. The mill 1t will be remembered is l0-stamp silver
 mill of the latest and most approved pat-
 tern for handling silver ores wet or dry. with double discharg mortars and comb. nation pans with a Whites furnace for trent ing the ores before crushing and has also n sawmill attached making it q most fttipo and complete piece of machinery for Ari zona. Where now stands the little town of Alexandra will soon be seen the structure of this mill and will be heard the merry greeting of the steam whistle and the town will spring into place of considerable i'm portance. With this valuable acquisition the Peck Company will bc able to ship at the least calculation $125.000 per month Their checks will become numerous and hard times now being felt will be one of the things of the past.

AzTIAN MuL.-This old mill which has been doing excellent work for the Peck Company is not to be taken down and nov cd to the Peck mine, but will remain where It Is. IL k true that the Company voted on a resolution to remove the mill which was carried but resolutions hitched to a quartz mill don't at all times haul them over the tops of mountains and innumerable ravines and such Is the case with the Aztlan mill The company are going to improve the Azt- Ian mill by adding new pans and will make it complete gold and silver mill.

In conversation with Post reporter yes
 terday, Lieutenant Wheeler. of the United States Engineer Corps, who has been en, gagged in the United States Army survey oi the Pacific slope, gave thc following par ticulars of the work accomplished within the last four years and of the work projected The survey comprises all the country lying between the British possessions on tAe north, the boundary line of Mexico on the South, the Pacific ocean on the west. and the me ridian of 100 degrees on the east The work so far completed includes the survey of about two-thirds of Arizona, nearly the whole of Nevada and a portion of New Mexico and Colorado. The extension of the Southern Pacific Railroad 10 Yuma has offer ed such additional facilities to the survey party that the survey of Arizona will be rapidly carried on and soon completed The survey of the Nevada mining districts Is especially valuable, as it is intended that the maps published shall show the work ings of the different mines in the most com plete manner. X special sheet of the San Juan mining district has been finished on which the intricate drainage areas are all deliniated. Tables of distances and road protles have been completed over the prin- cipal travelled routes and trails ln those DOT tions of Colorado, Utah and Arizona over which the surveys have extended. They are based upon odometer and barometer meas urements. These tables with profiles of the Important routes will be published as early as possible. A number of tophographical atlas sheets have been prepared embracing each an area of eighty square miles, show ing the drainage basins of the different sec lions and the several elevations of the va rious mountains. When complete. these maps will together form magnificent topo- graphical atlas of the Territory of the Uni ted States lying west of the tooth meridian. IS F, Post.

Heretofore the Board have been in the habit of auditing accounts at any time they might be in session which seems to be little irregular although noth- ing particularly wrong.
