THE Pacific States and Territories have contributed 1887 samples of min eral productions to the PaFSS Exhibi- ton. and the managers of the exhibit have made a very interesting report to accom- pany them. The exhibit and renort will form the best ready show inc ever made of the natural resources of the great western slope of the con- tinent. Arizona has small represen- tation in this fine exhibit. II could and should have had larger. There is 8 good deal more talk than action about our resources. We have resour- ces that will amply justify all our talk, but we do too little, even on such rare occasions, to prove our talk. Itls' however, fortunate that we have some representation in this grand collection for Paris. The report accompanying the exhibit, we may add, places the production of gold and silver on the Pacific Coast for the past twenty-eighi wears at S1, ,96s, ,S36, 1s6-or almost two Millions Of dollars.

A Tongue Amputated.

The Cleveland Plaindealer gives the following account of delicate operation performed upon a gentleman of Delaware, Ohio, with whom we have a slight acquaintance. The Plain dealer says: Robert F. Hurlbut, Pri- vate Secretary of Governor Bishop of Ohio, has just had his tongue amputa
 ted near the root The chin was sawed in twain and the jaws spread apart in order to take out the diseased tongue. The work was performed in compar
 atively short space of time, and the patient was comfortable and conscious in less than an hour. Next day MT
 Hurlbut walked across the room, and wrote his wants upon paper. He Is not permitted to speak, and of course could not do SO if he desired. The physician thinks he will be able to articulate audibly in the course of time
 Thus far the difficulty has been to give nourishment which has been done by infection. Glass tubes have been SC
 cured, and hereafter nOurishment will be given by that means until the sore
 ness in the mouth is somewhat subdued

Richard Glrd.

The many friends throughout the Territory of MT. Richard Gird-Dick Gird-will be pleased to learn that he has made what he considers some valuable locations in the Tombstone Mountains, east of the San Pedro river, and near the boundary line ot the old Chiricahua Reservation.
 MT. Gird is an old resident of Ari- zona, having come here, we believe, in 1864, and during his early scoutings had more than one brush with the ApacheS; of late years he has been a resident of Mohave county, where he was successful in smelling ores at Planet. Few names are better known throughout that section than his, and wherever known it is synonymous with energy, uprightness and intelligence He is no ordinary man, being thor oughly familiar with long experience with the nature and reduction of ores an engineer of standing he made the first official map of Arizona, and ir mechanics he is verltable genius hay Ing invented successful calculating machine and several valuable improve ments to the steam engine.
 We are glad to know of his presen good fortune, anC hope it will bring him the wealth and ease he has SC we'll earned.

A Paris dispatch of April 19, states the arrangements for the opening oi the Exhibition the 1st of May were settled at the Cabinet Council oI Wednesday night. Shortly before two o'clock NJ. Laisserne de Bort, the Minister of Commerce, will receive il the grand vestibule of the TrOcaderC the foreign princes present on the occasion, namely, the Prince of Wales Don Francisco D'Assise, the Duke d'Aosta, Prince Frederic, the Grown Prince of Denmark, Prince of Orangt and Duke de Leuchtenberg.

TeisSerence De Bort will wei come the Marshal in short speech and the Marshal will then declare thu Exhibition opened. A hundred ant one guns in the Invalides, on Mon Valerian and on an island in the Seine will follow the announcement. I'm military bands will strike up, all tn

Mining in Alabama.

Way down in Alabama they are be. ginning to develope their mining in. dustries. The Columbus Sun says thai Prof. Gesner, after a thorough examin- ation, is confident that gold and cop per can be mined with great profit in some of the counties. He made espe cial mention of the Long Pit Coal Mine, near Goldville, Tallapoosa coun ty. He has ore from all the gold mines Tn the State, and pronounces that taken from the Long Pit Mine the best. It yields to his assay twenty two pennyweIghts of gold to the one hundred pounds of ore, yield equa to $27.50 per ton. The vein he think: is unexhaustible. Capital is all tha is needed to have the developments g forward.

Colonies fn Arizona.

Generally speaking, Arizona is not adapted to settlement by colonies, but there are very few places where con- siderable sized ones might flourish. Perhaps there is room for one or more in the great Salt River Valley, and there is a fine opening for one very large or several small ones in the Gila Valley between Stanwix Station and Gila City. We have reliable informa. tion that opposite Mohawk Station on the north side of the Gila, there is a very large body of rich land unoccu. pied and which has lately been sur veyed and is now open to entry at the Florence office.
 From fifty to one hundred men with or without families might very advan- tageously locate adjacent quarter sec lions there and unite their labor in constructing one ditch that would sup. ply all with water. The land is very rich and water plentiful for one and in most.years for two crops each year.
 A colony of earnest workers would readily dig a ditch that would supply all with water, but one or two or even half 8 dozen might find the labor toe much for their means. Many of tbe most flourishing settlements in Utah did not have either so rich land or so much available water.
 This Gila land and climate are fine ly adapted to the growth of all sorts oI grain and fruits, and it is believed tha cotton, tobacco and sugar cane would flourish as well as in the Gulf States Then the railway is certain to pass over this land very soon-possibly no this but quite certainly next year.
 There are hundreds of letters writ ten from all parts of the country tC people. of this Territory, in which in quiries are made for land suitable fol colonies, and that herein pointed ou is all our knowledge will enable us tC safely recommend for the purpose.

Stage RObbed!

Our dispatch from Wickenburg tells of the robbing of the stage last night by three masked men, four miles west of that place en route 10 California passengers, mail and express robbed IL is not stated whether the silver bull lion was taken or not, though it is hardly probable that they attempted to get away with so great weight. There were two bars of Peck bullion from this place worth S3372.61, and $1512 in gold bullion from the Crook mill Wells, Fargo & O.. offer standing reward of $500 each for the arrest of express robbers besides portion of the treasure recovered as salvage.
 Governor Hoyt has offered a reward of $500 for the apprehension of the parties who robbed the mails and .treasure-b box, near Wickenburg, on Fri day evening last.
 The people of Prescott will be sorry to learn that MT. and Mrs. Rev J. A Merrill have decided to remove to Wis consin at the expiration of his present commission as Presbyterian Missionary to Prescott.
 Mir. Merrill finds that the altitude i! too great for his constitution, and tha he is obliged to seek locality where the air is heavier.
 He assures us that his place will bt supplied with ripe scholar and gooc preacher, a graduate of Union Theo logical Seminary, N. '. NIT. and Mrs Merrill will go first to Winconsin where his father resides, and he vii spend the summer at work on the farm and after sufficient rest from his minis terial labor they will probably be sen abroad on a Mission.
 His commission here expires on tht first of June.-Miner.

The Bankrupt Law.

The House Judiciary Committee, on the 23d ultimo, reconsidered its former action instructing Representative Me Mahon, one of its members, to move, when the Senate bill repeating the bankrupt law shall be reached on the Speakers table, that it be put on its passage, and by a two-thirds vote in structed him 10 report substitute for the bill repeating involuntary proceed ings immediately, and repeating volun- tary proceedings after January l, 1879 There is quite change in sentiment regarding the bill, and the result in the House is considered uncertain a: to the immediate repeal of the law,

Mining and Agriculture.

Mining is a most important and legitimate industry, but towns of much size and continued growth, are rarely built up in the mines. Nearly all tie once flourishing mining towns of Cali fornia have diminished in population, and many of them are comparatively abandoned. Austin, Hamilton, Pioche, and other mining cities of Nevada, have dwinlled to mere villages, and even Virginia City has less population than it once had. Utah has not yet built inning town of note, and New Mexico has but one of any conse- quence.
 These facts are merely to remi1f our Florence friends that our tOwn has elements of permanent progress, and that it will gradually grow as long as people need food and fruit, and the Gila river affords its accustomed sup ply of water, and not 10 in the slightest degree underrate the value of mining or of mining towns. But agriculture and manufactures are the sources Of permanent and growing wealth.
 Several of the northwestern States, much younger than California, have greatly surpassed the latter in popula- ton and wealth. Mining is just one more large help to build up oIr agri cultural towns, than the northwestern States has possessed to any consider able extent. Phenix, Florence, Tucson Stafford, and other valley towns will inevitably grow year after year, and all the faster, because of mining or every hand; and we are glad to ob
 mining in all directions i: vrospcflpg and bIds fair to equal, il not far shrpass expectations.

Death of William orton.

NEW YORK, April 22.-Hon. Wm. Orton, President of the Western Union Telegraph Company, died this morn ing. The deceased was born in Cuba, Alleghany county, N. T., June 14, 1926, and at the time of his death was still comparatively a young man. From 1S45 to the beginning of the late Rebellion Mir. OrtOn was connected with the book trade, and was a mem Der of prominent firm in this city. In the year 1862 he was appointed Collector of Internal Revenue for the Sixth District in this city, and in 1865 was appointed Commissioner of Internal Revenue at Washington. This office he conducted with signal ability, and upon his retirement re- ceived from MT. Mccullough, Secretary of the Treasury, graceful acknowl- edgment of his distinguished services The occasion of this retirement from Government office was the tender of the position of President of the United States Telegraph Company, unanimously voted by its Board of Di- rectors. MT. Orton remained at the head of this institution until it's con solidation with the Western Union Telegraph Company, union which he himself was mainly instrumental in accomplishing, when he was chosen Vice President of the companies thus united. Two years later-in 1S67-Mr. Orton was unanimously elected Presi- dent of the Western Union Telegraph Company, an office which he contin- ued to hold until his death today.
 MT. Orton leaves wife an eight chil- dren, to whom he was devotedlv at tached. Although not remarkably wealthy, he had acquired a compe- tence. During the last few years, lie had heavily insured his life, the total amount of the policies on his life in various Companies being reported to be from S5O,OO0 to $G0,00O.
 | The following brief sketch of the l life of Wm. Orton is taken from the Journal of Telegraph;
 His education was rude and limited so far as he received it from others Like many other men who have been called to the worlds big tolls, he has been largely his own instructor, choosing such studies as seemed most needed to aid in working out the prac- tical issues of laboriOus life, and to which he has devoted his utmost ener- l gy. That study he still continues | He has made, as all public men mus make, labor the hand-maid of success | To persistent toll, therefore, directed by a clear judgment, with a determi nation thoroughly to understand and thoroughly to execute, is MT. Ortor indebted for his present trust and its } rapid attainment.
 Herein is the lesson and secret of all true success. She demands persisten .I toil as the price of her offerings. It i: I this lesson which justifies the publicity given to mems lives, and is our OWL , apology in presenting this.

A NEW explosive agent has been discovered by Professor Emerson Reynold in the laboratory of Trinity College, Dublin. It is a mixture of D per cent. of chlorile of potassium with D per cent of body called sulphurea. The new powder can be ignited at a rather lower temperature than ordinary gunpowder, while the effect it produces is even more remark. able than those caused by the usual mixture. It has been used with sue cess in small cannon, but its discovereI considered that its chief use would be for blasting.

PRIVATE adyices from Washington still assert that there is not pOssibili- ty of Congress granting further aid to the Texas Pacific Railway Company and the very fact thattive months of the session are gone without anything being done but report of the bill to place on the calendar, confirms this news. From reliable reports there IS no doubt in our mind but the South ern Pacific will very soon advance their line far east from Yuma with the simple privilege to do so. Ii is quite evident that Arizona's hope for early railway facilities must rest Tn the Southern and not Texas Pacific Com pany.

REFERRING 10 the recognition Of Baez as President of the Republic of Mexico, the New York dispatches say "the Lerdo journals denOunce the Mexican Government for having, as they charge. accepted recognition with insulting language from Secretary Evarts.

THIS COLONY SYSTEM,

The basis of all the mining district organizations of the west, would apply not only to persons immigrating from the east in body, but to those already in that country who roam from place to place with their herds, seeking grass, but making no permanent residence or improvement. By the adoption of the regulations suggested, land system would be provided for the arid region adapted to the wants of all designing to become actual settlers there; those who roam the plains with herds, or prospect for mines over mountain ranges, and the multitudes who are without the rewards of labor in the Eastern States, would speedily find homes in the great Rocky Mountain region.

When the 'fraction of territory repre- sented by the first two classes, and the true desert lands, with other naked and unprofitable tracts, are deducted from the entire area of the arid region, there vet remains vast quantities of valuable land, bearing nutritious grass. Springs feeding small brooks are scattered over this region, and will often furnish the water needed for herds. In the absence of springs, wells may be dug or reservoirs may be con- structed to save the rainfall. Thus, in any case, sufficient water may be ob- tained. The grass on these tracts is so scanty that quarter section of land is of no value to the herdsman. Four miles, 2560 acres, is put down IS the minimum necessary for a pasturage farm. These lands should not be sur veyed in regular tracts, as square miles or townships, but Tn such manner that water front on brook may be given to a greater number of farms. In this way the Government will dispose of most land and the largest number of settlers will be supported. A general law should be enacted to provide for the organization of pasturage districts of sufficient size in which the settlers may make their own regulations for the division of the lands, the use of the water for irrigation and for water ing stock, and for the pasturage of the lands in common or severalty; but each division or pasturage farm should be owned by one individual who ac quires his title thereto by the homestead system
