For several weeks the Star Ca paper published ill Tucson has been making serious charges. more or less direct. against Gov. Safforh It has impeached hi veracity, his honesty and the le gaiity of his official acts. Now .Gou. Stafford must be neither more nor less arnenable to: the laws oi this Territory, than any other ci. tizen. in it. Ff he was General, there would be 40 use in trying to, Nsalish him for offences charg. ed by mere civilians; he would be courtmsIrtaIed by number of his fellows, who see so little truth in the army. that they cannot be- leive any exists outside Of it, ;,ciNi. liam witnesses would be laughed at and the accused promptly ac. quilted. For misrepresentation our lawsproyide no. punishment: If they did. what would be done to the i&ar2 But our code takes ample eegnizance of private dis honesty and of official misdemea-
 
 nor. One of the proprietors of the .Sttrr was removed by Gov. Stafford frum an office in the Territorial Government. If he was removed unjustly, he is entitled to feel re- sentiment and to take revenge honorable revenge and Of DO, other kind. But his charges and in- suits levelled at Mir. Stafford. bear alt the eas.marks of viudictiye calumny. La one issue o6 his pa- per, appear TO less than twelve allusiOns, accusing orinsulting MT. Stafford. We have always beieiv- ed this gentleman truthful, hon. est andt earnest in discharge of official duty. When he or any other man is charged with the opposite ofthese traits, we want to>see justice done at once; if the ciiarge be true, have the crime punished; if false, then let the lie be nailed without delay. Our coun- s6I to, the proprietor of the Star is this. If Stafford has stolen, or be. trayed official trust and you know 1t, do. your duty like man and present your. proofs to- the next Grand Jury :. have him punished. Ifyou do not know it. keep, to yourself the thoughts fathered by your desires, make no more un- gentlemanly ailusions to any mans mere physical charaeteris tics. and let us see no more of this feminine vindietiveness..

Artesiau Wells, iu Yuma County.

NO one questions me Vafuo ana advantages Of such wells any. where. Here ill Yuma county. the party boring one has the ad- ditional Inducements. of securing the $300O offered by the Territory If Arizona for the first flowing well, Of obtaining $40 acres of good iaDd at Sl 25 per acre, under the Desert Land Law, and the cer- tainty of obtaining fowing well at moderate depth and under con- Editions extremely favorable for boring. The formation Of the Gl'a and Colorado valleys is, aliu Evial-clay and sand. Below the surface soil, beGs of clay alternate with horizontal strata of compact, friaDle sandstone, easily periOr- ated by the arteslan auger. Mel ting SHOWS and rains in the for hundreds of miles to the north of Us, at elevations of seven to twelve thousand feet above our level,. have furnished EenOrmous quantities of water, which, soaking their way. down, now lie beneath Us, confined by this clay and sandstone and ready to gush- forth through the first hole made to reach them No bouders ;snd no ledges of hart rock will be encountered, to i'm pede the progress of boring tools. all Ihe teachings of geology for bid it and experience thus far supports the deductions of seieiice. Examination of the @Ountry will cOnvince any one familiar with well.b0ring, that pienteOus fDw of water can be struck at m0der- ate depth at almost any point along the Gila and Colorado Val veys in this county. Many men. familiar with this subject, have expressed the saIne opinion ill re- gard to the rich valleys near Ty sons and CuIlings Wells, in the northern part of this county. The flowing wells obtained on the other side Of the Colorado by tue R. lt, Co.,, at q depth of Oniy l5D feet, verify these predictions. The California Immigrant UuiOn pup lished the following figures as the cost of sinking wells among our neighbors ia, Southern California 1: Of iron pipe, dauhle,- seven in- ches in diameter varioas depths {:
 First 90 feet boring, at 50 cents per foot, S25; 50 feet pipe, at $l.O5 per foot, $52.50; a 50 feet we'll costs S77.50.
 Second 50 feet boring, at S1 pe- foot, $50; 5O feet pipe at Sl O5, $52 90; 100 feet we'll costs Sl8O. Third 50 feet boring. at $l.5O Der foot, S75; 50 feet pipe, at Si.O5, 52 90; l50 feet well costs $3O7 G..
 Fourth 5G feet boring at S2, S4D0;, 90 feet pipe, at Si.05, S52 5U; a 2!Dat feet well costs $46U.
 Tie flow varies in different wells. but there are very few that will not irrigaie 40 10 80 acres. The capacity uiay be stated at 40 to 200 acres. A flow of II inch ov. CT the pipe is estimated to give 5000 gallons per hous. or supply d town of 5000 inhabitants, using 30 gallons each per day.
