GIVE CREDIT WHERE DUE.

The following just and well merit ed article, Tn reference 10 Colonel Woolsey, appeared in the Prescott Niar of q lsft dme:
 Hon, Kings. 'Nyooisey, the most formidable candidate before inc peo. rie of Ar:zonu for-elcctiun to con gross, settled at the Agua Calienta ranch, in the valley of the Gila, then in Yavapai county, in 1sG1-cighieen years ago-and was the first white man to plant his standard in Yavapai county. He Jeff the Gila in 1863, and came to the northern part of the ter ritory with other brave pioneers for the purpose sf rcscuing q rich and desirable country from the wild Apaches. There is hardly child in this section but what is familiar with Colonel Woolsey'a record since that period. He gave his time and means toward settling the country and John Apache. He led several expeditions into the Apache strongholds, and in company with his brave followers suffered exposure, hunger and fatigucs of the most uncomfortable nature. He located the Agua Fria ranch in 1863, and built on it the first farm house in Northern Arizona. He brought for " thousand dollars to this section and invested it all in three mills which he erected. He formed co-partnership in the mining business with Governor Goodwin and Secretary Mccormick, and while in company with these gen tlemen, went behind filly-six thousand dollars. They left the country and their debts. Col. WoolSey'S property was sold to pay a portion of this in dcbtedness, and he was reduced to poverty He did not close his eyes or turn his back upon his creditors, but went to work bravely and liqui- dated the sum. He is now the owner of 2,0O0 acres of land in the Salt River valley, 400 acres of which he caused to be planted in wheat this season. He owns, ip company with John Smith. of Mcdowell. the finest Touring mill in the territory, and with David Neahr, of Yum acounty, he owns the Agua Calienta ranch, Dn the Gila, and 500 head of cattle In Gavapai county he owns extensive salt mines, and is working many men on the same. He is an active man in all positions and places, and when we send him to represent Us at Washing ton he will do it with judgment and determination. Col. Woolsey has worked shoulder to shoulder with the miners, farmers, teamstcrs and bust ness men. He has worn mocasins and fine boots, overalls and broad cloth, and is a man among men. His heart is with the working classes-he is in favor of free schools and every thing else calculated for the good of Arizona. Can we say as much for his opponents?

AN able correspondent of the Clevc- land (Ohio) Ledder seems to be quite in earnest in urging the nomination of Grant and Fremont by the repub. licans in 1880. He says: "When the talismanic words Grant and Fremont and everlasting safety to liberty arc spoken, then will go up shout that will reverberate from rolling prairie and mountain-side, that from the parks of Arizona to the pines of faith ful Maine, and from the surf-beatcn shores of Puget Sound to the ever glades of Florida. shall bespeak condemnation to every scheme of op- position"

Arizona's Wealth.

The Oakland (Cal) Tribune states that an old Arizona pioneer, now in that city, believes the day of prosper fly for Arizona is now dawning. and fully corroborates the statements made in the newspapers ot tine territory. as 1o the rapid increase of population during the past three years, and SaYs the heneficial effects of the extension of the Southern Pacific railroad to Yuma, have been felt all over the ter ritOry-not so much in the actual re- duction of freights and more rapid and cheaper travelling facilities, as in the moral effect on the community, from the fact that it is the great h. deniable exponent of civilization. and the certainty that the road will at once be built to MaricOpa Wells. two hundred miles east from Yuma, where it will tap the center of all the terri tory has infused new life into the whole people. Our informant is q miner in the Bradshaw mountains, north of Phenix, and states that more attention has been gwen to mines in Maricopa and Iavapai counties. by outsiders, in the past ten months, than in the previous five years. Parties from California and from the eastern states are prospecting about, quietly buying promising properties, and cX- amining the country. Even China men have commenced working over the old abandoned placer diggings near Prescott. The Tiptop mill, which works ores from Humbug dis iriet, fifty miles north of PheniX, ships to San Francisco about S50,000 in sil- yer bullion monthly, and the Peck mill, twenty miles further north, sends nearly the same amount. Hoisting works are now building here, for the Tiger mine, ten miles south of the Peck mine, and many other silver mines are being opened so rapidly as the limited means of their owners will permit. In gold mining similar activity prevails The Golden Star company is erecting large mill in the midst of cluster of gold mines thirty miles north of PheniX. X ten stamp mill has recently been shipped to the Gro Bonito gold mine in Tiger district, in the Bradshaw mountains. The old Nulture mine. near Wickcn- burg, which has been worked by ten stamp mill, has been taken hold of by q heavy company which pro poses to put up an eighty stamp mill. The Yulture has been opened to a depth of 300 feet, has been worked since 1864, and has yielded over q million of dollars worth of gold. and iS rich in the bottom as on the surface and perfectly dry.
