Attakapas Sentinel advocates the
completion of this canal, aban>
doned at the beginning of the

that efforts be made by st. Martin

allowed to apply the levy tax to
that purpose. If completed this
canal would eftectualIy drain 213,
600 acres Of land, and Mr.. Bar
bank estimates that the work
could be done for $4,000.

MR. J. J. DIVINE has been making some valuable improvements on his lot in the upper end Of town. This lot Is neatly laid out, leaving space in the center for a house, with walks and grass-plots, front and back, and the whole enclosed with a neat willow hedge. MT. Devine has put out this week about SIOO worth of various kinds of fruit and ornamental trees, rose bushes, shrubs, strawberry plants, &c. A year hence this lot will more than double it's present value; and while the trees will be handsome ornaments, they will also be decidedly useful in yielding abundant varieties Of delicious fresh fruit.

MIR. ARMSTRONG, agent for Geneva (N. E) nursery, has been in Florence this week delivering trees and shrubs to our citizens. The Florence people bought about slOOO worth. Among the parties who invested most extensively, were Messrs. P. R. Brady, P. Holland, P. Win, J. J. Devine, R. c. Brown, G. Wheat, and P. Charouleau. This looks we'll for our town, and tells Of better days and plenty of good things for us in the Sweet Pretty Soon." The Salt River Herald bold. .ly declares Phenix to be the garden spot of the Territory, but we guess we innocents up this way would make Phenix look 8 little sick if we should press our claim to this same title.

Globe Correspondence.

EDITOR CITIzEN:-I did not think that would ever again have occasion to speak of the would-be experts from California, who infest our districts for the reputed purpose of investing in our mines, but in reality their sole object, as it appears to us miners, is to prevent capital from entering the Terri tory, by reason of their false and un- founded reports; the query goes forth, what the devil do they mean? and as yet remains unanswered. In December last, we had few of those pirates in the Globe, they visited few mines and returned In a hurry to Florence and reported unfavorably of the whole dis trict, having seen but few of the mines, they yet have the hardihood to report on the whole without knowing. If you were to ask either of those experts what they know about the Hannibal, the Democrat, the Great Eastern and several others Gin my hum- ble opinlon) valuable mines, their an swer would be that they had not seen either of them, but that they can't amount to much. The people of Cali fornia must loose confidence in those land pirates as we have done long ago, when they learn that in he face of the false reports of the would-be experts our mines are, and have always been lgood The Hannibal mine, which is
 the first northeast extension of the Stonewall Jackson, has within the past thirty days been proven to be a good and valuable property, the main shaft at depth of seYenty-three feet shows a body of ore six feet in width, which will average over $20O per ton, some thlnk it will go more, but the owners say $2OO is good enough. MT. Flour ney, the principal owner, intends to erect reduction works at the mine, thereby saying the expense of shipping the ore. The mine has been incorpOr- lated under the name of the Hannibal Silver Mining Company, the company Is we'll satisfied with it's property and do not propose to offer any of the stock for sale for some time to come, or at least not until the ledge has been l prospected on the northeast end of the claim, the developments heretofore
 made being on the southwest end.
 The Democrat mine, which is the first northeast extension of the Little
 Mac Is about to be opened up by its . owners, Messrs Tourney & Akins
 Up to the present time there has been very little done towards developing
 the mine, still there has been about
 $15, 900 realized from the ore extracted P by the original owners. The cost ol
 extraction being less than 5000. MT 9 Tourney owns two-thirds of the mine and under his energetic management
 there is no doubt in my mind, bu
 that it will in the next thirty days
 be the equal, if not the superior of tho
 Little Mac.
 2 The foregoing are facts which car be proven beyond a doubt and l dare
 the would be experts to prove other wlse O. 5.

Just as we go to press we learn that MT. Mason's little mill at Hewitt's Station, has started up and is working splendidly. This will settle the fact that much of the ore of Pioneer Dis trict can be worked by the milling pro cess. NIT. Mason has but one Wheeler pan and he is only experimenting al present. The results are very satisfac tory thus far, and indicates a complete success of the pan process with those ores. Under these circumstances we may hope for a large mill, and ex tensive operations soon.

The HOwgate Arctic Expedition.

NEW YORK, January 26th.-The Fri bune's Washington special says: The House Committee on Naval Affairs recommended an appropriation of $5O,000 for the Howgate Expedition.
 The Tribune says: A glowing re. port in favor of bill for the Howgate Polar Expedition has been presented by the House Committee on Naval Af. fairs. The fervency of the report might melt ice in a palaocrystic sea The Committee is, however, quite right in the assurance that many scientific objects besides that of geographical discovery can be achieved by the Ex petition, so that while the North Pole may not be reached, other results oi far more value are likely to be attain led.

The editor says he is selfish, loves money, and yet hopes to do the public some good; we hope he will. The Salt river valley is a very rich section and ought to have and sustain a good local paper. The liberal display of local advertisements in the first issue bespeaks for the Her aid a substantial home patronage.
