SALT RIVER.
The Largest River i1 the
 Territory.
Who Named It-Where It Ri ses- Length and Breadth-Its Trib- utarics

Salt River rises well up towards the eastern part of the Territory, ill the White mountains, its head waters being the White and Black rivers. It has numerous large branches, coming in mostly from the north, draining the country far to the north, including the Tonto Basin, the Sierra Ancha, White, San Francisco, and other mountains. Its course is west and southwest, and it unitas with the Gila below Pheuix, some thirty miles. This river was named the "Rio Salido," by the early Spanish and Jesuit ex- plorcrs, on account of its waters be- ing highly impregnatcd with salt, which is easily noticed at low water. This is caused by heavy salt for matiou through which the river passes
 ABOUT ONE HUNDRED MILES ABOVE
 PHGNIX.
 At low water it is a clear, beautiful stream, having an average width of two hundred feet for a distance of ono hundred miles above its june tion with the Gila, and a depth of two feet or more.
 The Verde river is one of the largest northern branches of the Salt liver, its upper branches rising at different points to the cast, north, and northwest from Prescott. It becomes Il fine river of eighty feet in width about fifty miles northeast from Prescott, and thence runs a southerly course to its junction with Salt river near Camp Mcdowell. Its whole course is about ore hun drcd and fifty miles. The Tonto, Sipicur, Cherry, Agua Fra, and other large creeks, are also tributa- tics of Salt River, coming ill from the north. Thc main upper branches of the Salt River, the White and Black rivers, are both swift running mountain streams, and rise in the White mountains. They arc well stocked with the real spccklcd mountain trout. affording rare sport to the followers and dcvo- tees of Isaak Walton.

4 CARD.

OFFICE OF SEc'Y or TIE TERRITORY,
 PREscorr, A. T., JAN. F. 1873. TO o'oneTs aud ndnp9ers of min,s in IrixoDd: GENTLEMEN: grand opportunity is nov before us to advertise to the word the wonder fnl richness of our uIine-, and we shoild speedily avail ourselves of it. Gov. Ncs.cr- mick, of our own Territory, fortunately fJ- us, will soon 20 to Paris, as the representative of the United States at tine great Exposition, aud 1t VIII become his duty, and no doubt his pleas- ure as well, to give Arizona and her productions considerable prominence. Millions of dollars lie hidden away in the bottomieSs lctlgps of gold and silver within our limits, and capital IS greatly needed with which to develop this endless production.
 Comparatively little is known of Arizona and her mineral resources except by her own citi- zens, therefore 1t becomes tho duty of every Arfzonizn to avail himself of every opportu- nifty coming his way to give wings to this kaowl- edge. We have been asked and even urged by public spirited men ou the Pacific Coast to send to San Francisco specimens of our ores to be seat from there to the Worlds Expo- sition at Paris. Seemingly little or nothing has been done in the matter Of furnishing spcci- mems from this Territory to he thus forwarded I am informed by the Chairman of the Com. lnittee on Minerals for the Pacinc Coast ths they will ship frSfn San Francisco within about four wefks. The time is very limited therefore what we 10 must be done quickly. If Xou wfnTend to tse csre of this office speci- Wens Of ope, will lee that they are carefully teotAeb ahu scCuIeiy feCAcui Anu uuly iOrWardcd to aSfr destination,
 Please give llarhe of mine, and owners of same, from whkch specimens are taken also amount of bullion produced, estimated total value of orc on the dump, and the ayeragn value per ton of ore produced from the miIIe with any other facts that may occur to you, and they will be condensed aad written upon the label so faras possible. Four pounds can be sent through the mail in a single package at . cost of one cent per ounce. If you intend to assist in making display of our mineral Ut the Exposition please act dtotzee, while the sub ject is upon your mind-
 A fine display of ore at Paris, such as we are abundanuy able to make, will, no doubt bring a rich return to mino-ovners in particular and the Territory in general.
 Respectfully yours,
 JOHN J. GosPER.
 Secretary of Territory.
 The above letter to mine owners speaks for iself and all the citizens of the Territory should say amen. We are living in an age of sirosg competition. when every move on the part of individuals and communities is strained in eEOrts to scatter abroad intelligence of their wares and productions. Many wealthy Americans will be n attendance upon the Paris Exposition. and they will mOre naturally give atientiou to American productions exhibited there than ip their own country. We hore in- isrested partios will send forward specimens of ore rrompu" ss above suggestsd.

BECAME MIXED AT A PARTY.

A dashing young blood who keeps all the
girls in Jetfersonville, N. Y. on the anx;ons
seat, started to a ball recently, taking two
young ladies with him. Having arrived at
their destination safely, they enjoyed them
selves until about three O'Clock a. NJ. when
they concluded to go home. The Young
man having ordered his horse brought m
told the young ladies to get in, while he
stepped INTO the bar-room to light a fresh
cigar. Coming out in something of a hur-

and drove off. Everything went along
smoothly for a While until he CHANGED to

when he discovered that he had some other

more occurring to mar his happiness, until

wagon drove up, and accused him OF having
stolen it; but his friends interceded. max

young man went his way a happier if not a
wiser man.

TAFTY,

When Henry Ward Beecher opened his
first lecture in San Francisco, he prefaced it
with a glowing tribute to California hospi-
tality. He said he had ''been astounded at
the great West, its people and its prodnc-
tons; but when his train plunged into the
sunlit glory of the Sacramento valley and
Numbered through the fairest fields of the
continent towards the infant colossus of cit
les sitting serene by the shore OF earth's
nightiest ocean, he felt then, indeed, that
California was Gods last work, and his
best!" Before the audience could applaud,
a calmly reflective, still, small and appar-
emily selt-communing voice in the gallery
said :''Tatfyw That settled it. The crowd
ed house roared, and with just the taintest
twinkle of the left eyelid the great preacher
conghed and went on with the main sub
ject.
