CONCILIATORY POLICY DEEMED PROBABLY
CARDINAL FRANcnI APPOINTED SECRETARY OF
STATE.
The Arizona sentinel., 1878-12-21

A PRESS summary of Secretary Schurz'
 annual report contains so singular blund- CT that it seems impossible that the report can be correctly presented. The Secretary | is made to recomniend the I'enoval Of the Pima and Maricopa Indians of Arizona to the Indian Territory, in consequence Of the diversion for mining purposes of the water of the Gila river, without which they can not cultivate their lands. If Secretary Schurz has really made such recom- mendation, some one has blundered artoclously in giving him information In the first place, it is not within the lawful power of the government to compel the removal of the Arizona Indians named They own the lands, on which they live, in fee simple, under United States patent made out to the tribes collectively. In the second place there are no mining operations on the Gila above the Pima villages, and if there were any they would not interfere with the water enough to affect the irrigation of their lands. There has been trouble about the water, but it was caused by white settlers who have taken land up in the valley above the Indians, and whose irrigation ditches are badly constructed as rule, and cause the waste of a considerable amount of the wate~ that is so precious in that region. There is water sufficient if properly hus- banded, and the Indians have as many rights at least as the whites.-POSt

LOUISIANA planters gre attracted to Salt River valley, Arizona, for sugar cul- ture In every respect that locality is pro- nouIced superior, especially in freedom from premature frosts. The cane has a longer season for. maturing the sacchaline elements. Already one mill confirms this judgment, and second mill has been sent from San Francisco. The Southern cOun- ties of California, along the line of the Southern Pacific railroad, give promise of being equally adapted to sugar cane.- Post

The results are very interest ing. The gold is so fine that it looks more like aust in water than anything else- Nintag Record.

Railroad Across the Sahara.

M. Duponchel, Engineer-in- Chief of the
 Fonts -Chauss6es, was lately sent out to
 Algeria to exar1ine the geological forma-
 tion of the land to the south of the colony,
 with view to the establishment Of a
 trans -Saharan railway, and to explore as
 far ss practicable the borders of the great desert He has now made his report
 from which it appears that the projected
 railway would run from Algiers to Tim
 buctoo, distance of about 1,5OO miles, M
 Duponchel states that the principal DOT | ton of the line-that which would pass by Laghouat and Taguin, crossing the oasis of Jouat, and terminating at Timbuctoo, on the Niger-would rest dnring its whole extent, on quarternary deposits, layers of sand, and, toward the end, 6n primitive volcanic rocks, granite, gneiss, etc. No mountainous Instructions would nave to be encountered The Sahara has always had the reputation of being an exception ally hot region. Such is really the case
 although the thermometrical observations of late explorers, particularly NM. Du
 veyrIer and Vattone, reduce to reasonable figures the exaggerated statements of for fner travellers. The average heat does not appear to exceed about 73 to D degrees Fahr., but accounts must be taken of the great variations which occur in the 24 hours. For instance, occasionally very cold night succeeds temperature of 104 degrees Fahr. in the day time. That, how ever, is not considered any obstacle. The great difficulty to be overcome would be the want of water NJ. Duponchel con- siders that this even can be surmounted. | He calculates that, for three trains daily, | the amount of water required would be | 4,OO0 cubic metres, and believes that the | engineering science of the day is quite sufficient to supply even much greater quantity at the requisite points.-BuIletm.
