Contemplated Railroads in Mex
 ica.

From the Mining and Scientific Press, San Francisco we take the following.
 From MT. J. R. Myers, we'll known railroad contractor, formerly of Sonora county, Cal, and now q resident of Oakland, we gather d few facts with regard to the prelim- mary examination of routes for a couple of railroads, which will ex- tend into Arizona Territory. A party consisting of Mir. Myres, Gen Rosckrans and several other gentle men travelled by way of Fort Yu- ma, Cal. and Tucson, Arizona, to Hermasillo and the Allabranca mine in Sonora, by stage a distance from Tucson of 425 miles further to the great Multatas 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 Yuaka river, which they followed for- about 40 miles, and then diverged to Guaymas, on the Gulf of Cali fornia.
 The railroad route examined was from the fields on the Yuaka river to Guaymas, l2O 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 contemplated inland termi- nus are apparently of unlimited ex- tent, 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 q first quality of coal upon the wharves of San Francisco at a cost much below the price of the same article at the present time.
 The party on their return from Guaymas made a preliminary ex- animation of another route for q railroad from that place to Herma- sillo in Sonora, and thence to Tue son, in Arizona. The distance from Guaymas to the latter place is 42O miles. This road will intersect the road now being built by Thomas Scott, which has already reached Fort Worth, Texas, and is to be ex- tended through Arizona to connect with the Southern Pacific or to be extended into California, perhaps to San Diego,
 The route from Guaymas to Tue son, Mir. Myres says, passes through one of the best mineral and agri- cultural countries in Mexico IL only requires the construction of this road to facilitate the transpor- tation of mining and agricultural machinery and the protection of well established government to de- velop q very productive country, These enterprises are in the hands ot SIn Francisco capitalists.

since the connections have been made in the works the ventilation is perfect. A miner was seriously injured a few days since by the ex- plosion of a blast. He had gone down to examine and find out why 1t did not explode. as soon as he thought it ought to-doubtless the experiment will be a lesson for the future. He is doing well and will probably recover.
 Many men are employed on the outside claims. Tule Creek, the Eldorado, Hector and Bronson & Co.'S, claim are each sending in quan- titles of ore, running from slO0 10 5000 per ton. Work is steadily progressing on the Foy, and the camp is lively and prosperous. Busi- ness is better than since the start. Scarcely an idle man can be seen, and there is no need for any one to be out of employment. A few days ago a man wishing the services of a carpenter, was obliged to look sev- eral days before he was able to find one.
 Nearly ever claim has paid ex- penses from the surface, and many of them have laid up a handsome surplus for the owners. As poor mans camp this cannot be equaled in the Territory, and it cannot be excelled no where else.
 We are receiving some of the products of our valley but could dispose of much more. In fact, we depend upon Salt River for our bread stufs, fruit and vegetables and horse feed, and can furnish steady market for your surplus at good prices.
 Politics trouble our people but very little as all are busily engaged in developing the mineral resources of the country which they consider more profitable. Our great want is suitable mail facilities and VIC hope that Delegate will be elected who will devote some of his time to the interests of his constituents. We trust that you will continually re- mind the candidates of the duties which will be expected of them.

Now that the Mineral
 Resources of Arizona are being rapidly developed, agricultural products will be in great demand and the Farmer will quickly find
 himself King, and while enjoying home comforts will reap largely of the golden harvest of the hardy miner. Prospectors who are searching the noun tains for hidden treasures it may be poor as Jobs turkey-will in a moment find themselves Bonanza Kings and be able to revel in luxury the rest of their days; but all men cannot become owners of rich minesl All men cannot become wealthy farmers To the great mass of man. kind the price of pork and beans will still be an object.

Elder Cartwright, of Missouri, of

Interesting meetings in Hoover's Hail,
Nemaha City, last week. Quite a
mum Der were added to the Church and
some backsliders were reclaimed.
The Elder, on Friday, received dis
patch from home that a member of
his family was seriously i'll and he at
once left for home. Hence the large
audience that assembled on Monday
night to hear him preach were disap-
pointed. The Elder appears to be well
liked ia Nemaha, as an able, Jealous
