More Surveyed lands in EJrIa
County.

The land surveyed during the
past winter by United States Dep
uty Surveyor John l.. Harris,
along the ella valley, beginning
about Mohawk Station and eX-
tending down and on both sides
Of the river to the vicinity of Fill
libuster Station, is now ready
for entry. The official plats were
filed in the Florence Land Office
early this week, The official des-
ignatIon Of the townships, is:
Townships :, 8 and 8, South, and
Ranges Is, Il and Is West, of the
Salt River Base and Meridian.
Most OF this land is Of from good
to excellent quality, and suscepti-
bic of irrigation from the ella
river.
The total extent Of valley land
now surveyed in this county, in
Guiding the township containing
StanWiX Station, and the one di-
rectly north of that, is 462, 237
acres. Besides this, there is all
the valley land, not yet surveyed,
along the ella river between Fill
libUster and DescanS0 Stations
about fOrty miles in a direct line,
and comprising some of the best
land on the river. In the survey
of full townships, there is often
included a small portion of mesa
land, but in the main, the acre
age above stated is strictly fertile
valley land. The Thirty-secOnd
Parallel railroad route runs right
through these lands, and they are
destined to support dense and
prosperous settlements. 1t is TO
be hoped that our Delegate will
wake up and realize the import
ance Of securing early appropria-
tiOns for completing the surveys
of this and other rich parts Of the
Territory.

ArizOna's Railroad: Sympathies.

Much has been said or written
about the sympathieS of the peo-
pie of this Territory for one Or
the other Of the two corporations
now striving for possession of the
Thirty-second Parallel route. 1t
is all 5Osh. We are all anxious
for railroad communication, but
our feelings are those of cold bust
ness; we have no sentimental af-
fectiOnS for or against the incOr-
poratOrS Of either company. Our
people are somewhat divided in
their preferences, but those pref
erences for either company are
based entirely on conviction of its
ability and desire to build the
road without delay. The only
exceptions are to be found among
such Of our temporary residents
as are prOperty-oWners at San
Diego. Whether Scott is, or is
not, bankrupt has nothing to do
with this matter. With national
aid the Texas Pacific road can be
built now, just as the Central Pa
cific was fourteen years ago; and
it perhaps would be built more
speedily under such conditions,
than would the Southern Pacific
without aid. Arizona is being
now represented at Washington
as unanimously in favor of the
Southern Pacific company. This
is not the case. Our Delegate may
find it to his interest to so repre-
sent us, in order to secure South
ern Pacific influence at the COM
ing election. But a great wrong
will be done to Arizona, if the eff
feet Of such representations shall
be to close the Thirty-second Par
allel route against a railroad that
can and would be built by nation
al subsidy, and to put this route
in the hands of a company that
will not be apt to build the road
without such subsidy. If the
wishes of Arizona could be deter
mined by vote, they would be
shown in favor of giving the low
er route to the Texas Pacific, with
national aid enough to build it;
and in favor of giving the Thirty
fifth Parallel route, with liberal
subsidies, to the Southern Pacific
or any other company that would
improve it at once and in good
faith. That is about the extent
OF Arizona's "Sympathies."

Bitter, but Wholesome.

All our grOwlS and complaints
about railroad freightS are like
a convalescent cbild's murmurs
against the nasty taste of the
physic that cures him. Even aft
er the country became tolerably
safe against Indians, it was COM
paratlvely at a stand-still, until
the railroad reached us and pre-
cipitated the flood Of prosperity
upon which we are beginning
to float. More machinery has
come here by rail during the past
nine months, than had come dur
ing the previous nine years by
wagon or steamboat. More pas
sengers come daily by rail, than
used to cross the desert on buck
boards in a month. To the rail-
road we owe increase of popula-
ton and increase of exports; from
it we shall derive benefits that
will make present results seem
insignificant. Overcharge us on
freight? OF course it does-every
dollar that it can get. That's bust
ness. If we sometimes get even
by shipping giant powder and
other lightweight goods as can
dies and such low-freight articles
why that's business, too, and of
about the same grade of morality.
Railroad communication is slim
ulating Arizona like a powerful
tonic. Its bitter flavor is, after
all, salutary: it prevents our talk
ing overdoses. High freights,
cash down, prevent our merchants
from overstocking their stores.
High fares keep away pauperS too
genteel TO work; they give US
more miners and less boOk-keep-
erS.

THE trade of the Gulf of CalifOr-
Mia can be rapidly developed by
the new steamer, General SaragO-
"a. Her light draught will ena-
BILE her to enter harborS and ports
inaccessible to the larger steam
erS that have heretofore traversed
the Gulf, on their trips between
San Francisco and the mouth of
the Colorado. There are many in
duStries to be developed down
that way, besides mining, pearl
fisheries and orchilla-gathering
At San Felipe are large forests of
pine, which are cut off by noun
tains from every means Of trans
portation, except by water. On
the same coast are extensive de-
posts of sulphur. On the Sonora
shore are great beds Of soda, and
possibly of boraX and sodic-nitrate.
The Gulf aboundsin turtles, which
can be marketed in California, by
steamers connecting with the Sa-
ragOza at Mazatlan. The wild
hemp of the Colorado river is sure
to furnish good freight at no dis
tant day. One such industry leads
TO others, and the owners of the
new steamship line can quickly
build up large business, by pur-
suing a liberal and fostering policy
from the beginning.

THAT part of Arizona lying east and
northeast from Camp Mcdowell in Mari
copa county, is at this season unsurpassed
for beauty. Wild flowers are found there
in variety and profusiOn unequalled any
where in the world-we mean just that,
exactly. The spring rains have clothed
the hills with green grasses, whose value
for feed is amply attested by hundreds of
fat cattle and sheep. 1t is not heavily
timbered country, but its trees are superb:
sycamore, walnut, ash and oak, as also cot
tonwOOds and willows along the water
ty rarely seen elsewhere.

A PHOENIX man the other day gave us Il
list of eleven stores now doing business ut
that place; and It is more than likely that
he missed some, Some difference between
affairs there now, and six years ago, when
one ten mule team could haul in all the gro
ceries that Salt River farmers consumed.
Judging from freights hauled away from
here for Phoenix, during the past six
months, no part of Arizona is growing
more rapidly.

The FL Dorado mill has been sup
piled with wood by the steamboat Moha-
We, which has moved some $50 cords
up there from Cottonwood Island. The
mill is well supplied with ore and is eX-
pected to ship at least $4,000 in bullion
by next steamboat Tie mines are look
ing better than ever, and all hands up
there are full of hope and confidence.
With moderate improvement of the chan
mel OF the Colorado river, FL Dorado Canon
can be made "boss mining camp.

FROM recent arrival from Tip Top we
get accounts of that mine, encouraging
enough to dissipate the gloom caused by
the late decline in the market price of its
stock. His version is that majority Of
the original purchasers, at S1.25 per share,
pooled their stock for rise to SO, to be
effected by honest management Of the
mine and heavy bullion shipments from
first ores worked. But, when the stock
reached 81, Hoffman, who held $1,000
shares, and others of the poOlers got greedy
and dumped their stock on the market,
breaking the price to original bed rock
figures. The new superintendent and fore
man have got fairly to work and hayc
struck considerable bodies of rich ore.
They expect to clean up all indie btednesS
Of the company before May 81, and to
have $1,000 or $1,000 over. They have now
eighty-tive men at work on the mines and
expect TO increase the force to 125 next
month. The working expenses and dis
count on bullion, for the month of June,
are figured at $4,000: the gross yield of
bullion for that month is expected to reach
$780, 900 At that rate dividends may soon
be looked for. Some 800 tons of ore were
at the mill, when our informant left there,
Il week ago.

THE seventh consecutive month
ly dividend of $50,0OO-ffty cents
per share-on the capital stock Of
the Silver King Mining Company,
of Pinal county, Arizona, was de-
ciared May 10, and is payable on

nonsense! When mine pays

THE Mineral Park mill is to be started
up again on receipt of chemicals, etc,
which left Yuma on the boat of May 1st.,
and which must be near their destination
by this time. Great quantities of rich ore
are in readiness, and the Park will soon
re-assume its normal lively and cheerful
appearance. Mr.. Paul Breon, of the firm
of BreOn G Spear and Il leading merchant
Of North western Arizona, informs us that
their trade is excellent with miners,
freightcrs, farmers, stock-men and travel
lers, who have been coming into Mohave
county in great numbers. The Mormon
trade is no longer an important part of
business up that way. Breon thinks that,
during the next Is months, MOhave coun-
ty will consume more goods than any
other part of the Territory. That is Il
strong opinion; but he is pretty fair autho-
rity, and we must admit that "the signs "
are pointing that way.

THE best evidence of the growth and
thrift of the new towns around the Signal
and McCracken mills, Mohave county,
may be found in the fact that they support

besides laundrics and three qUartz-millS.

THE iron-deposits at Williams Fork, and
at other points along the Colorado river,
are marvellous in their extent and variety.
Near the old Planet copper mine, the sur
faces of several hills are covered with mas
scs Of nearly pure iron: it looks almost
like immense fragments of broken stove
metal, and rings like it when struck. In
other places are found large deposits OF
oxyds, which can be quarricd like bog iron.
Wherever limestone crosses the iron coun-
try, are found quantities of colomitic and
brown hematite ores, all Of which can be
reduced with the greatest facility. The
scarcity of coal near the Colorado has
hitherto made these great ron-dcposits of
little value; but the recent erection Of a
furnace, at the McCracken mill, for utiliz-
ing some Of their ores, awallens new IN
terest in them.
