Railroads In Sonora,
 Mexico.

From Mir. J. R Myfes, a we'll known railroad contractor, formerly of Sonoma County, and now a resident of Oakland, we gather a few facts with regard to the preliminary examination of routes for a couple of railroads which will, no doubt, be built in the near future, and will ex- tend into Arizona Territory. A party, consisting of MT. Myres, Gen. Rosekrans, and several other gentlemen, travelled by way of Fort Yuma and Tucson, to Hermo- sllio and the La Barranca mine, in Sonora, by stage, a distance from Tucson of 425 miles; thence by mule-back over the trails 13O miles further, to the great Mulatos gold mine.
 This mine is near the river of the same name, and is regarded as the best gold mine in Mexico. The party then returned to the Yaqui river, which they followed for about forty miles, and then diverged to Guaymas, on the Gulf of California
 The railroad route examined was from the coal fields on the Yaqui river to Guay- mas, 120 miles. The route was found to be practicable; and there is plenty of wood and water. At least One-half the distance is through as fine an agricultural country as there is to be found in the State Of Sonora. The coal fields at the contem- plated inland terminus are apparently of unlimited extent, and the mineral is of the finest quality of anthracite. It can be mined at very small cost. The building of this road will enable the owners of these mines to land a first quality of coal upon the wharves of San Francisco at cost much below the price of the same article at the present time.
 The party, on their return from Quay mas, made preliminary eXaininatiOn of another route for a railroad from that place to Hermosillo, in Sonora, and thence to Tucson, in Arizona. The distance from Guaymas to the latter place is 420 miles. The road will intersect the road now being built, which Is to be extended through Arizona to connect with the Southern Pacific, or to be extended into California, perhaps to San Diego.
 The route from Guaymas to Tucson, MT. Myres says. passes through one of the best mineral and agricultural countries in Mexico. It only requires the construction of this road to facilitate the transportation of mining and agricultural machinery and the protection of well established gov ernment to develop a very productive country. These enterprises are in the hands of San Francisco capitalists-M. & $. Press.

The Indian Must Go.

The Indian atlast stands square, ly across the path of American progress. We have reached a point in our history when the cer- tainty of peaceful agricultural life in the Territories is an abso- lute necessity. The increasing population of the older States, the extending business of the Pacific States, and the welfare of the set lers in the Territories all alike deA mand the speedy removal of the Indian obstacle, and it will be res moved. Heretofore we have comforted ourselves with the idea that the Indians would get out of our way by natural decrease. But it is now a well established fact that the Indians are not de- creasing in number; in fact they are becoming more numerous. AS Jupiter declines to lift our cart over the difficulties, we must do it ourselves. The Indian problem has really been theoretically solved already, and the people west of the Mississippi river are nearly all of one accord on this subject. The tribal relations must be broken up; the Indian must be localized on farms and made to work, and those who will not must be put out of the way. This Is the theory and there is no other worth speaking of.-Bee.

Handsome and True.
From the Riverside Press

Now that the Stranded Bugle" ha: come into notice again in San Francisco it may not be amiss to let our reader: know that the author of this poetical gen is L. E. Mosher, Esq, of Colton, a modes and unassuming gentleman, who attends to the prosaic rounds of railroad office duty as though he were a mere calculating machine and never had a dozen (pOetic, thoughts in all his life" The "Stranded Bugle" was published in the Aldine, the foremost art journal in America, and also in the Overland Monthly of California. II is short, (would that other and less gifted authors would copy that excellence ) and though blank verse, it breathes the poetic fire, is tender with pathos and sparkIes with nuggets of original thought. We predict that Mir. Mosher's career in literature is only just begun.
 THE STRANDED BUGLE. One eve I, musing, paced the sands That skirt shore where sets the sun; Where every ripple of the sea Is warm as kisses love to love; I listened to the droning waves-- The lace-like waves which fret and lave The tinted shells upon the beach. Among the jetsam washed ashore, found, deep in a sea-weed bed, A bugle, with the rime of years, Corroded, furnished, long since dumb. I paused, and wondered whence it came; Stopped down and took it from the sand. Long, long before, 1, young, had stood Where armies gathered and advanced, Where sabres clanked and trumpets
 blared-
 And had been a buglar then. I dipped the mouth piece in the sea- I dipped the bell into the sea washed its battered, braZen throat, Then held to lip, and flung blast Out on the pulsing, starlit air. The long -hushed bugle woke and rang A limpid cadence Tong the shore Which drifted out to sea, and came In nipples back upon the waves Which rocked its echoes back and forth From cliff to cliff-against the crags- Far up the heights, around and 'rOund As though it pealed, "Pm found, Pm
 found !"
 blew again, softer note, Though full, which rang along the land Rang full. and clear and sweet and far, thought (but could itswell so highD I heard it echo 'gainst star, Then drop into the placid sea, A strain of perfect melody. hear that last note ringing yet, Like cry of lost one far away Adrift, and drifting past recall: l fancy it may be soul Perhaps the soul of melody So let it drift, and sink, and swell With every motion of the deep The bugle hangs against my wall, And when will-I'll send once more A blast upon it to the sea, To keep the lost one company.

A Plea for Arizona.

| The rainfall Of Arizona IS not
 fully understood, nor recorded.
 The best information that can be
 gathered gives ah annual average of four inches along the lower Gila; twelve inches in northern Mohave Countyi sixteen inches in northwestern Yavapai County; twenty inches in the southeastern part of that County; and twenty four inches in the southeastern part of Pima County. These facts alone explain many of the discrepancies in descriptions of Arizona given by different wri- ters and travellers. One tells only of dry placer diggings, miles from water, near treeless plains, or amid mountains of barren rock. Another writes of fine grazing and grand pine forests. And still another describes the rich soil, green grass, running water, and magnificent trees found in the rainy belt of Pima County. Each is truthful; rainfall is what makes a country, and each de- scribes that part of the Territory which he has seen, or which has left the strongest impression on his memory. Eastern Oregon, Montana and northern Dakota have but twelve inches of rain; northern Minnesota has but six teen, twenty and twenty-fOur; Kansas has but twenty and twenty four; California averages but twenty around Sacramento and Stockton, and but twelve below Monterey. Why, then, should Arizona be consistently regarded as a sterile country, unfit for agri- culture, and only valuable for its minerals? We are sorry to say that such is the case, and that several years must elapse before this popular fallacy can be ex- ploded. The error has arisen from the fact that hostile Indians have, until quite recently, held nearly all the well-watered and fertile sections, practically con- fining Whites to the southwestern or most arid part of the Territory. What was seen and experienced in the latter naturally moulded opinions expressed in regard to the other unseen parts. There are men who have lived here a dozen or more years, who turn with sneering scorn from the man that speaks or writes of Arizona's rich soil, verdant waist-high grass, and wide1spreading shade trees. Their narrow minds can- not understand the beauties of all that part of the country, out of which their fear of the Indians has kept them. Such men have cursed the country at home, and have misrepresented it abroad. But to intelligent men mere knowledge of the actual rainfall, in different parts of Arizona, is enough to enable them to form correct opinions of its value for settlement. Our figures are taken from official reports of the Smith sOnian Institute.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 1s.-Thc most remark
able feature in the order issued yesterday by
John Sherman in regard to silver purchases is
that it practically announces reduction in the
coinage Of the svcr dollar to two millions per
month. the least amount permitted by law. Tho

or about / 100000 ounces n month. somewhat

lowed starting IN for tho coinage OF the silver
dollar after the passage Of the bill authorizing

Treasury have been about 81 600 900. This has
not oil been coined. and the supply on hand is
