that time on we have heard
Campbell spoken of more kindly
and more favorably, than political
prejudices had permitted us to
expect. 1t was expected that he
would lose ground here by COM
ing; but it has proved otherwise.
lie seems to have studied up this
Delegate business, and "talks 4"
it pretty thoroughly. If it is a
sure thing that he would act, as
Delegate, half as well as he talks,
as candidate, Arizona would not
be set back much by his election.
For all that, we prefer Davis, and
expect still better results from his
election.
Mr.. Campbell assures us that it
was a mistake to charge him with
substituting newspapers; that he
has not done SO. Come to think
of it, the press of Arizona can not
be influenced by money; it is too
pure.

Rich Ore from silver King.

The concentrated ore crushings of the
Silver King mine, Arizona, and which are
shipped periodically to San Francisco,
have been steadily growing richer since
the new mill started up IN June Before
that tie average value of the concentra-
lions was about $4,000 per ton, some ship
ments running more and some less than
this rate. Latterly they have gradually
increased in richness, the last two ship
ments of 14,000 pounds each averaging
nearly $4,000 a ton. A dispatch from
Yuma to-day says that 5000 pounds were
shipped from there yesterday that assay
ed at the rate of $4,000 per ton. Accom-
panying the last two shipments have
come, also, quantities of nuggets aggre-
eating about ton, that yielded nearly
$4,000 in pure silver. Col. Barney, the
manager OF the Silver King mine, informs
US that men are now at work in the mine
opening out its treasures. Until recently
the shipments were made entirely from
the dump, and it was from that source
alone that the seven dividends already de-
clared were paid. 1t is limited that div
idend No. may be looked for in day or

Ex-Governor Stafford arrived

Ex-Governor Stafford arrived
here from Washington this week
While here he declared very pos
itively that he should not, under
any circumstances, come before
the people as a candidate for off
ice: that his private affairs now
demand his attention to such an
extent as to forbid his taking any
farther interest in politics than is
the duty of every citizen. He
spoke very kindly of our present
Delegate, Mr.. Stevens, and ex-
planned away many objections
that have been made to the lat
ter's course at Washinton.
He was very positive that the
Southern Pacific company would
begin pushing their railroad from
here into the interior, within a
comparatively short time; and
gave good reasons for that belief,
He thinks that Tom Scott will
not renew the fight in Congress
next Winter.
He reports that great interest
is being taken by Eastern peo-
pie in the mines of Arizona; par
ticularly i'll those Of Pima County
which have been brought to their
notice prominently by the glow
ing report of many who have Wis
tied them.

Reclamation and Irrigation ON the
Borders OF Yuma County Art-
Z0na.

A private land company, of which Mr..
Thomas H. Blythe is President, is at the
present time doing very important
amount of improvement by the reclama-
ton and irrigation of over seventy-five
Thousand acres of land, which has hereto
fore been wholly useless tor agricultural
purposes, and valueless as a medium of
raising taxes. The tract is located nearly
opposite Ehrenberg, in Arizona, fifty
miles above Fort Yuma, and about sixty
five miles from the border line of Lower
California. The land to be reclaimed, in
all 10000 acres, has frontage on the
Colorado River of about twenty-siX miles.
Behind this, on the mesa, is barren land,
which will have to be irrigated, amount
ing IN all to $4,000 acres. In the scheme of
improvement the process of reclamation
has been commenced between six and ten
miles above Ehrenberg. A canal is being
dug, by hand labor, from the Colorado
River to Olive Slough. This canal will be
twenty-siX miles III length, of which over
five miles have already been dug. \

AN old resident of Tucson thus writes
about two of our Yuma "reformer;:" 81 do
not know how old Messrs. and
-, may be; but by their conduct l
Judge them to be too old for reformation.
These men are, perhaps, smart-the worse
for the community-or, perhaps, they are
ignoramuses; in that case, the worse for
them, and no results need be expected
from their mission of reform l do not
know either of these two new self-con-
stituted apostles; but do know of some of
their doings. One of them, last August,
wrote letter, which was published
in the Tucson Star, in which ne applied
insulting epithets to the wives and little
children of men at Yuma, whom he is
now again trying to insult in print That
letter has forever stamped him as q man
utterly destitute of principle or manners.
The other apostle is remembered here
chiefly for his conduct in the Legislature
some five years ago. These men are not
the proper advocates of the people, and
can not long lead those who reflect lit
tle."

Of our citizens are emigrants from that
way and would like to hear from their

be hard on us.

Hon. J. G. CAMPBELL, candi-
date for Congress, has been here
about q week. At first be lost
ground, politically. For a few
days it seemed as if guard was
being stoyd over him by hungry
demagogues, who had looked for
ward to his coming, as the time
for settlement of bar accounts and
Chinese wash-bills. But it seems
as if each labored so hard to prove
that he was the only Simon-pure,
genuine controller of the Gre
form F" party, and that it would
be useless to give money to any
other reformer, that none of them
got much cash. They gradually
quit logging the chief " around
and gave him a chance to get ac-
auainted With our citizens. From
