southern Pacific Railway. &c.


 IL is with special pleasure that we at this time announce the almost certain
 coming of this great international high
 way to and through Tucson on its line of construction to lhe Atlantic. We
 have always been a friend to railroads.
 and, through THE CITIZEN, have con s;antly extended a welcoming voice
 to every movement and measure that
 gave hope of the construction ol one to
 and through Arizona. We have long and fayorably known the men who con- trol the deStinies of this road. and have felt just pride in the enterprise and
 genius of the men composing this com
 pany, who were first to unite ihe Allan
 tic and Pacific with iron bands; who
 have taken the iron horse over snow capped mountains and extended
 wastes of desert lands, and have render ed il possible 10 develop the resources and make habitable the great interior of our country, and have rejoiced in their marvellous success in railroading
 We believe our course in cooperating
 with those who have shown a similar
 friendly feeling, has stimulated and en couraged this company in extending its road to this Territory. We believe the welcome so far given them by the peo- pie of Tucson, has had some influence
 in directing the road to our doors. Now, when this becomes an accom- plIshed fact, the people should remem- Der that it costs vast sums of money to build this road; that great deal of il runs over a desert country where no way business will ever contribute to itS earnings; that the road has been built with the hope of making a reasonable profit on the investment, a hope that every good man should be glad Co have realized They should also remember that every demagogue and blackmail- CT in the county will, ID the future, aS they have in the past, join Tn tirade of abuse against this or any other use ful, and at the same time costly, enter prise; and such fellows will affect to be stricken with sorrow on account of lhe oppression heaped upon the people, when in fact they are the dear peoples worst enemies.
 If the people of Arizona act wisely, they will welcome any and all legili- mate enterprise, that will bring money 10 the Territory, and thereby show men of means that capital invested here Is safe against injustice, and that the people here rejoice ln the success of such investments, and that the mean spirit of jealousy Of others success, has no favor here.
 The people of Tucson have so far acted wisely Its business men are the road 10 the exclusion If the eastern route, and thereby are keeping more freightmon in the Ter ritory; and, a. result, are helping themselves and encouraging the com :. pany. II now remains for them to con- !. tinue this friendly cooperation, and by he united action Of the reople and the company, make Tucson one of the most inland towns on the coast; pr join with demagogues and black . nailers and be left out in the cold as has every town or city on the coast that has pursued the dog-in-the manager course.

IF the raIlIoad be constructed on the direct line to Tucson, as it now seems quite evident will be the case, it will pass c. the South of Florence about eighteen miles, but We d. not consider that this will in the least In- jure the prospects of the town. A mar row gauge road can 5e built from the main line tn Flurence and the Silver King wish vey httie expense f'r grad ing. as the whole di~.ance Is a level plai ,. The bu u,iac>S f that secti n is now sufficient Co .ar-ant he cnnsiruc- tian of such a road if he main line were completed. The recent discov- cries in the j'ioneer district, in ad- dItion to the established value of the Silver King. give promise that il wifi be among the first silver producing dis'ricls in the Terliory, and Florence i, the natural center of an extensive mining anI agricultural section.

SAN FRANCISCO has earnestly moved
 in the matter of an exhibition of her resources at ihe Paris Exposition nc xt year. The California Immigrant Un-
 ion and leading bankers and other bus
 mess men ard public officers have talk
 en the subject in hand, and already
 have products of all kinds pouring in for shipment by January 1, 1878. Ne vada and Utah are lIberally sending products of all kinds; Oregon is acting independently and efficiently, and AT. izona has done nothing that we can hear of and had sent no samples up lo the 18th instant. Can il be that Arizona will not be represented at the grand worlds far: l. it possible when oth- er sections with similar, but not richer nor greater, resources, are determined on a liberal representation, Arizona will be a blank? Capital and skilled labor are needed here. especially in our mines, and to get them we must show some reason therefor. Hundreds of mines have been sold in the market by making au exhibition ot their ores where men of mean3 cannot avoid see ing them, and Nevada, Utah, Califpr- nia and c lorado fully appreciate wha has been done m this way, and are sure it can be again. All articles sent to San Francisco, care Vim. H. Martin, Room g, 23O Montgomery street, if of good character, will be forwarded free of charge. Gov IrwID has appointed as commissioners J. R. Scupham, W. :. O'Brien, W. c. Quinby, J. II. Culver and Wm. II. Martin. These gentlemen will provide for and superinlend the un behalf of California, and they represent ample wealth, inpelli- sence ana experience 10 do it well Whatever Arizona does in the premise. must be done quickly. Products for must reach San Francisco moi later than January 1.

Probable Coal Discovery in Pima
 County.

A number of parties have taken up several hundred acres of land in or near Arivaipa canyon. in Pima county, be lieying il to contain a large body of coal. They claim the alleged coal is coal. and that it has been subjected 10 a successful lest in blacksmilhing. The claimants have put up an assessment for immediate development and have men on the ground. Whatever is final ly developed the claimants are in earn est and at work in rhe faith that they have a large coal field.
 lift prove |, be valuable coal, it will be by far the most valuable mineral discovery yet made in Arizona. Aside from it ha>tening the construction of the railway, therOad would be operated fully one thousand miles with he coal, provided discoveries are not made al other points on the line To this large consumption, add the local demand, of the Territory and those of southern Cal iflrnla, and perhaps much of southern New Mexicn, and one can easily imag- me the magnitude of the business to certainly grow up, requiring the indus try of thousands of men. Or course we do not say this discovery is what the now spending money and labor in the discoverers claim for it, but they are belief that it is coal.
 We understand that Gov. Stafford and Jesse Hardesty, Esq, are the only two persons resident south of the Gila in terested in this discovery, which was made, as we are informed, by an ex- soldier.

TIE early settler in Arizona, when he is enabled 10 travel over the Ter ritory with ease at the rate of twenty five miles per hour, will have ample time as he looks upon rhe scenes of the past, for reflection. Hardly 8 foot of the country but VII bring to mind some reminiScence of the toil, priva- tion and suffering of the past. Here, weary and exhausted. dry camp was made; there the bones of some faithful animal lies bleaching that could mt withstand the desert march and want of water; over wonder are the graves of comrades and friends who were awak ened by lhe midnight war whnop of the savages, to be plunged into that eternal sleep that knows no waking
 Most of those who were familiar with these early scenes, have passed away and in a few more years there will be none left 10 tell the story of the suffer ing and death of the early pioneers.

 Two desperadoes named George Vii son, from Colorado, and Robert Tullu>, from Texas, attempted to take Ihe town on the 18th. Sheriff Bowers and mar shal Standifer, in arresting the parties, found it necessary to kill Tullu> anu so wound Wilson th.t it will be miracle if he escapes death.
 Messrs. Churchill & Fitch have been employed by lat plaintiff m he suit oi Prescott V. Jackson ard TOmpkins known as the Capitol Block case. We now have no fear but that the case will be ably managed, and the matter prop erly presented iu the courts. Mayo Co k deserves the thanks of the entire community for hls promp'ness in this very important matter. This case, ac- cordins To the Enterprise, is one of great importance ln the people of Pres cotl, as upon is decision rests lhe title to much valuable property in that town. As we understand. from the paper, the question whether or not tn titles to property received hy the town authnri- ties from Judge Flewry, and tran>f r red to other parties are valid, Is the matter at issue. Besides the above named attorneys, others, including Mcssrs. Farley and POmroy of IhIs place, have been retained by the peO- pie. while the defend nts have secured the services of Mes-rs.

Help Yourselves, Girls.

There is real nobility in the power to help
ones self. A genuine girl, in these day s.
ought TO be above the accidents of changing
circumstances. There may be foolish but
teriiy girls, who care supremely for dress
and admiration, aud who float on the sunlit
current of to-day as though no storm could
ever come. To them word of advice and
warning may seem as an idle tale. To the
girl whose bright eyes have at all occupied
themselves in looking about her, and seeing
the events which befall people every day, it
will appear otherwise. You may be living
now in elegance and luxury, the petted dar-
ling of your fathers spacious house, without
visible thorn or a briar of care 10 prick
you but 1t may not be long before you are
called on 10 face the misfortune. The prob
lem of how TO live may stare you in the face,
as it has stared others. If you are rich and
well-to-do, you have great advantage over
those whose limited means gives them no
power of choice. The destruction of the
poor is their poverty A poor girl cannot

True Riches.

A little boy sat by his mother. He looked
long into the fire, and was silent. Then, as
the deep thought passed away his eye bright
ened and he said, " Mother, shall be rich"
His mother said, "Why do you wish to
be rich ?"
The child replied, Every one praises the
rich. Every one asks after the rich The
stranger at our table, yesterday, asked who
was the richest man in the village. At
school there is a boy who does not like to
learn. Sometimes he speaks bad words, but
the other children do not blame him, for
they say he is wealthy boy"
The mother saw that her child was in
danger of thinking that wealth might stand
in the place of goodness, or be an excuse for
Incidence, or cause those who lead evil lives
to be held in honor So she said, What is
it TO be rich p
He answered, 81 do not know. Tell me
what must do to become rich, that all may
ask after me and praise me-"
The mother replied, "To become rich is
to get money. For this you must wait until
you are man."
1.-THE boy looked sorrowful, and said, as
there not some other way of being rich, that
| may begin now"
She answered, THE gain of money is not
the only nor the true wealth. Fires may
burn it, floods drown it, winds sweep it
away, moth and rust waste it, and the rob-
Der may make it his prey. Men are wearied
with the toll of getting it, but they leave it
behind at last They die. and carry nothing
away. The soul of the richest prince goeth
forth without a garment, like that OF the
wayside beggar. There is another kind of
riches, which is not kept in the purse, but
