PetteDgiirs Newspaper Directory for 1878.

Anxiety and patience are rewarded. We
 waited for the 1st of June and Pettengill'. Newspaper Directory, and both have come
 to time, hand in hand-the one smiling as
 the precursor of glorious summer, and the other complete in all the habilimcnts of a fully organized book, Attest of all Its kind for the companionship of the advertiser who means business. From coco, in 1871, the newspapers of America have increased 70 5, 133 in 1878, and here we have them array ed in lines by States, brigaded by counties, marshalled in divisions by geographical sections, and detailed by classes for special work, in a manner that commands admira- ton. There is only one thing that can prevent any advertiser attending to all his own business with newspaper publishers the lack of experience and knowledge of the status of newspapers. This is partially supplied by the Newspaper Directory, in its capacity of Advertisers Handbook There IS nly one step more to be desired ny business men. and that is to have the work done for them instead of by them, and 5. M. Pett, ngill & Go. are juat as compe- tent to do that satisfactorily as they are to present the completest Directory of the century.

The Cemstock Lode has made Resumption
 Possible.

Within the past seven or eight years, clever
 companies owning mines upon the Comstock i lode, of Storey county, Nevada, have paid
 t. their shareholders the sum of $i 10, ,000, 900 in dividenas, of which sum tine Consolidated Virginia and the California furnished $61,-
 sos 900 0.00-something more than one-half
 It were possible to enumerate or overesii-
 mate the beneficial influences which have
 resulted to our epoch from this great con- tribution to the money resources ofthe world,
 from a quarter of the earth otherwise 50
 barren of products, which man may turn to
 his use end profit. But besides this Im-
 mense sum total of dividends, the product ions of these same mines have amounted to
 more than double the dividends; and this
 great sum has given vivitcation to So many
 people, and to so many of our industries, so
 opportuDely as to almost seem the work of
 a bountiful Providence watching over our country Indeed the periods at which these
 mines have severally proved bonanzas, serve
 all the more to give their discovery and
 production providential aspects; as, for exampIe: the Crown Point. with its fifty dividends, up to January, 1875, aggregating $ll, ,58S 900, which came to an end just as the Consolidated Virginia began to pay monthly dividends of xl ,0Sc, 600, or paid an aggregate of dividends, for 1874. of $1 ,44S, 900. By these results the material progress of the Pacific coast and the whole informed fate region west of the State of Missouri, has unquestionably been advanced many years ahead If what must have happened had the treasures of Mount Davidson not existed or hao they escaped discovery. All that wonderful industry which has grown up in connection with the silver mines of Nevada, Utah and Colorado, but for the impetus given to it by the Grown Point | bonanza, would never have been born into life. It was that bonanza which led to the | sinking of the Consolidated Virginia shaft | 1900 feet before finding any ore. Without | the Comstock lode, and tine con sequent ex- tension and expansion of the mining in- iustries and production of the country, with | every month in Utah. the Black Hills, NJ nn- ana, Idaho and Arizona, as we'll as Neva la md California, the resumption of specie payment in the country must have been an flair of the remote future Upon this point here is 10 room for rational doubt.-f Min ng Record.

 AGENT HART RETAINED.-Ws are in- formed that the name of Luther P. Cum miDgs as agent for San Carlos, has tor some reason also been withdrawn and Agent Hart will be retained at an increased sal ary.
 Since Inspector Watkins has examined and approved Agent Bart's administration and the Indians are quiet. it is wisdom on the part of the Indian office to retain the present Agent.
 One of tho worst features of the present Indian system, is the constant change of the Agents on important reservations. The tendency Of the service is 10 drive good men out, but if Mir. Hert can be induced for an extra thousand dollars year to remain and be annoyed beyond measure at San Carlos, we can see no reason why the rest of us sbolld eomplain. His position is responsi- ble and unpleasant, but so long as the h. dian Department is satisfied with his admin istratioa and the Indians are peaceful under it we hopa he'll stick.-Citizen.

 dates that will be in the field, the victory
 VIII be an easy one for the candidate, MT.
 Woolsey, who is citizen of Central Ari-
 zona, is man who will do exactly as much for one section as be will for another, hay
 ing no sectional prejudices that would tend
 to warp his mind and induce him to ask
 more for the North than he would for the South. An appropriation will be asked and urged for opening up the route from Pres cott across the Nogollon range to New Mexico; increased mail faculties for all the counties of the Territory; an apDro- priation for erecting Capitol buildings will be some of the early and urgent measures laid before Congress for their consideration Yavapai has been represented in the halls of Congress ably; Pima has had her glory, and now that the growing County of Mari copa whose interests are almost identical with those of Yavspal and Mohave, and cor relatively connected to Pinal and Yuma counties, asks in 8 modest way for the privilege Of sending a representative, we think it but just that the small request be acceded to. Maricopa stands centrally upon our maps, and a man from that sec tion would naturally work for the interests of his people, and in asking fer appropria- tions for the surrounding Counties he would | be, virtually, doing good work for his own County. A road or mail route through f Yavapai that benefits its people. also bene- its the citizens of the great Salt River Val ley, and the same with the other three Counties that border on Maricopa.

Lincoln County, New Mexico, seems to be undergoing reign of terror, assassinatiaus are the rule. A lawyer by the name of McSween is largely mixed in with sundry transactions according to the representations of Murphy & Doian, army contractors, etc. The same parties accuse J. S. Chism, the cattle king. of being in with McSween and other bad men to defraud Murphy, Dolan, Riley and other good men. J. J. Dolan in letter to the New Mexican, states that Chism wants to monopolize the contracting busi- ness of New Mexico and Arizona, and that as long as he and Mir. Riley live, it cannot be done in any fair way and therefore means are being taken to put them,-Riley and Dolan,-out of the way. Quite number of people of the county have been killed upon one pretext and another, a' according to accounts published in the Mesilla News, and other New Mexico papers, McSween is rep resented as being responsible for large share of it.

BoSDs.-Did any individual, or association
 of individuals who have or can raise the sum of $50, 900, or whereabouts, and who have
 figured intelligently on the profits of an
 investment in County or Territorial bonds,
 ever know of surer or more remunerative
 business,-it is too dead a shot to be called speculation,-than to purchase the whole batch of bonds due the contractors for build ing the County buildingl These bonds amount to $60,090. which we understand can be bought, if taken all together, for 80 cts. on the dollar. They bear ten per cent per annuIl on their face value, or $6,000 year, On an investment of SIS, 900: right nice little income of itself, consider ing the fact that there is not the slightest particle of risk in the matter; but when it IS remembered that atmaturity the purchaser or purchasers would not only receive back the $4S, 900; invested, but ,000 profits on the purchase in addition to the interest, be- comes doubly attractive. The interest, it be- ing paid annually, may be again invested to advantage, which amounts to the same as and thus 1t will be seen that here is a chance for one rerson with SIS, 900 four persons with S12,000 each, or eight persons with $6000 each, to accumulate little fortune on a small investment. It is a good chance to form a "co-operative institution"

NEWSPAPER PosTAGE.-The St. Louis Post expresses the belief that it would be money in the pockets of the newspaper proprietors of this country if the various press associ-
 ation meetings, instesd of passing eulogiums on the value and independence of the pres,
 would unite in plain and honest request to Congress to carry newspaper mail matter at cost, instead of, as sr present, taking ten millions of dollars annually out of the pock- cts of the people to pay expenses for acting as . newspaper carrier. Newspapers are among the great educators of the day, and It cannot he amiss to cheapen to minimum figure the facilities for placing them before the public.
