The statement published on our
4th page, in regard to the prospects
Of the growing wheat crop, was writ
ten before the recent reports of dam
age from Fly and rust were received,
and therefore needs to be consider
ably modified. It was doubtless true
when written, but from later intelli-
gence 1t i probable that the large
yield anticipated at that time Will be
materially reduced by the causes
above mentioned. Still, if even q de-
duction Of one-fOurth or one-ffth be
made. for the injury from these and
other causes, it is safe to say that
there will be nearly if not quite an
average crop throughout the coun-
try, as al reports agree that had no
damage been sustained, the crop
would haF be been from 90 to 25 per
cent. larger than any previous one,

The most superb view Of the Exhibition, as
a whole,i from the middle Of the Bridge Of
Jena, looking either way, and no more
magnificent view than that had from this
point was presented at Philadelphia.
About o'clock in the afternoon, Just as
1 was passing the Aquarium. heard a CRY
in the direction Of the Porte Delssssut, at
the head Of the Rue Le Notre, and, looking
in that direction, saw the palisades give
way and a vast concourse of people, Of both
sexes and all ages, rush over the broken
timbers into the open place. In vain did
the mounted gensdarmes try to stop the
crowd, which rushed forward like a tidal
wave, reaching the Bridge in less than two
minutes, Just as the tail-end of the process
sion had crossed over. Twas carried with
the resistless throng, and found myself
presently jammed up against one of the
small chiosguess on the Quai HiIly, near the
point where the large water conduits enter
the bridge. At this place there is a sort Of
tunnel between the real roadway of the
bridge and the temporary roadway above,
which latter rests upon the stone balusters
Of the bridge, extending over both its sides;
and into this tunnel ], and some five or six
others, managed to make our escape. Pick
ing our way carefully among the network
Of gas pipes, water pipes, and telegraph
wire with which this tunnel is filled, not
without stumbling and falling several
times, we finally emerged into daylight at
the other end, in the very midst of the royal
party that formed part Of the procession.
l was SO near that I could have shaken
hands both with the Prince Of Wales and
the Crown-Prince Of Denmark, and as there
was no way Of breaking the rows Of soldiers
which lined the road on both sides, there

Silver King Dividend.

To-day inc Silver King Company (Arizona) declared the third dividend of $jO,OO0, payable January 2l. At the same time advices were received that $ lj, 900 worth of ore had left Yuma and $2O,OOO left the mine for San Fran cisco-all on next months account. By March it is thought enough sur plus will be in bank to warrant the shutting down of the works for a month without stoppage of dividends, in or der to increase the mIll capacity SD the dividends may be swelled to SlOO,- 900 a month. One fact not generally known may now be stated. All the ore from which the yield of the Silver King mine has hitherto come has been from excavating the shaft incline, three or four short drifts, and one cross cut IF feet long-i,s whole distance through ore averaging from Sl1O to S210 per ton. From these excavations there is still ore enough on the dumps to pay half dollar dividends (Sj0,O0O a month) for a year at least. Not a slope has been started nor any cross-cut or drift across the big ore body run but that mentioned. The bottom of the incline, the lowest point touched in the mine, and which is following the foot wall down, is still (and this ten feet be low the big cross-cut IF feet long) in native silver that will go from S2OOO to SS00O a ton. AS Col. Barney says The mine is a virgin mine and we have as yet only begun to prospect it All indications point 10 it as the rich est mine ever opened of the Comstock. The last quotation for the stock was Sl6, but there is scarcely any obtaina- ble. and none at all at that figure.-S. F.. Exchange, January l5.

VanitIes.
BY LOUISA B. INNER

buIlta throne and crowned a king, His reign was short; stores Of love and homage bring, Beholding naught. I built castle with great care,
 Supposed 1t strong; It tquickly vanished in the air
 Like breath Of song. I raised a tower to the sky,
 Looked down to earth, Some trace Of it to find I try,
 But all Is dearth. greatly wished of kindly deeds To make a mound; Found when twas made that tangled W Did most abound. sought al pinnacle Of fame Joy tO my sOIl; Weary and worn and limbs quite lame Preached the goal; Found at the point Ia dizzy height And not secure), That wha: I thought diamond bright Was paste impure. And now Instead of aiming high drop my eyes, Finding, when least thought to try. To my surprise Directly at my feet hath shone A precious gem, Equal to castle, tower, throne, Or diadem.

What Can be Done.

\ quiet miner called upon us yester- day, one whom we have missed for several months, and told Us briefly that he had been wandering around a little since we saw him last. He said he had been down in that section of Ne vada which lies partly in Lander, part ly in Nye, partly in Churchill and part ly in Esmeralda counties. In answer tO a question he said sentenuOusly, The country there is full of mineral, '' and then he went on to tell Us that a man who, four or five years ago, was reckOned a millionaire, but who short ly afterward lost his property, went in- tO that region last summer, bonded a mine for S60,000, and went to work. He had no money, but he did have a little credit and world of pluck. He commenced Co dig and ship the ore. He has, so far, paid for the mine, lift ed a mortgage of $l0,0O0 from some property in California, and his mine IS growing in value daily. This incident shows the possibilities of Nevada. When a man fails in the Eastern States, especially an old man, there is not much more hope for him. Here was an old man who six months ago, Jeff home with hls homestead mOrtgaged for S40,00O, and now his property is cleared and he knows he has a fortune under his feet.-Virginia Enterprise.
 Substantially the same thing has been done by several men in Pinal county All cannot and many do not, but the opportunities to do SO are nowhere bet ter for such luck than in Pinal county, Arizona.

Put a Head on that Indian servIee.

Secretary Schurz Board of Inquiry, while shouting cheat" and "swin dle" " at Indian Agents, among other things says: Evidences have been numerous of the accumulation of fortunes by persons in that service, "upOn salaries that would barely pro "vide the necessaries of life" The salaries of all agents are equal, and the question with us is whether SchurZ will be able to retain in his service men of honor, character and ability, such as are required to control thou sands of wild men, disburse hundreds Of thousands of dollars in cash, an nuit es and supplies, cope with the powerful outside influences that are constantly bearing heavily against the civil agents, who will risk loss of reputation through the seething venom of a maligning tree press, and less of life at the hands of sayages, foregO the pleasures and gentle influences of home, family, society, intelligence and culture, and live a secluded, daring, almost desperate life al an Indian Agency, all for a salary that will barely provide the necessities of life, :" without any backing from the Indian Office, and as a final blow to be de- nounced by the Secretary before the nation and before the world as one of a mass of willy, plotting, public plum derers9 What the Indian Service needs IS d firm, unswerying head in Wash ington, one who will not re echo the baltle-cry of the enemy; who is not afraid to resent an insult, even from a warrior, and who will stand solid with the purpose, policy and officers of the service. Such a head would find worthy, brave and able men, willing to render effici.nt services under him, even though the government does not allow them a just compensation.

The Texas and the sOuIhern Pa
 ciic.

CHICAGO, January 1j.-The Times Washington special says: The report of Secretary SchurZ's Commissioners, who last Fall examined the section of the Southern Pacific Railroal south of COltOn, have been ready for six weeks to report, and it is understood that ihe report will be highly favorable to the general character of the road. The Secretary has been unexpectedly delay ed by a protest from the Texas Pacific Company that the Southern Pacific crosses its line two thousand feet from the Colorado river, and has no right tO a land grant beyond that point of pur- chase. The Southern Pacific is given a land grant for the construction of the road tO the Texas Pacific at some point near the Colorado River, but when En- giueer Grey came to lay the Southern Pacific road he found that the Texas Pacific exists only in an incomplete survey of it's line, and he therefore built his road to the most convenient place for crossing the Colorado river, and bridged it. lis company there fore claims the construction of the road and the grant annexed. On Sat urdav, the Vice President of the Texas Pacific addressed a letter tO the Secre- tary, claiming that the Southern Pacif- ic had crossed his line, accompanying his letter with an illustration map. The Secretary has referred the matter to the Southern Pacific, and until an answer is received, no decision will be rendered. The land along the Cobra do river is quite available, winch makes the question one of importance.

\ New Departure in Indian Affairs.

Mitchell has presented a resolution in the Senate that the Committee on Indian affairs be instructed 10 inquire into the proprieiy of establishing four Indian reservations to be called Indian Territories, one to be located in Col vile Valley, the second Tn or west of the Rocky Mountains, and the other two east of the Rocky Mountains. All Indians in the country to be located in them, except such as desire 10 break tribal connections and subsist by agri- culture, who may secure homesteads on their present reservations. The reservations or Indian Territories are 10 have a suitable form of government, to be established by Congress, which government shall include the right to be represented in Congress by dele gate to be appointed by the President of the United States; and a Superin iendent. who shall be ex-ofiiciO Gov eruor of such Territory.

Pork Raising.

A great and profitable industry and an important revenue can be added tC our Territory if our citizens will only devote little attention to the bushes, of hograising. Nearly every pound of bacon and ham consumed within our Territory is brought in from Cali fornia or the east This draws from our cash capital not only the original cost of raising, killing and curing the pork, but alike the exorbitant rates oi freights charged over the lines east and west. This is a great detriment to Ari zona, while it is no particular advant age to California or the East, since the demand for pork as a foreign export i: greater ihan the supply either in san Francisco or New York. The magni tude and importance of the pork croI in the United States can be appreciat ed when we state that during the veal ending June 30, 1876, this expor amounted to $67, ,sOOOOO.
 We cannot expect to take a hand iu the foreign business until the railroad shall reach our interior, but the large quantities of pork consumed at the towns, ranches, mining camps, mill tary posts, &c., in Arizona can just a, we'll be raised in Arizona, as in Cali fornia or elsewhere. This would add an important feature to our home pro ducts. The supply could be furnished at a reduced price and yet the profits be very large. The Los Angeles Re publican says that hogs are purchased in that county, shipped to San Fran cisco, slaughtered there, ard the pro- ducts cured and shipped back through Los Angeles 10 Arizona at a profit And we would again urge the fact that these profits to San Francisco shippers and the high rates of freight are constantly making heavy drafts on the ready mon ey circulating in our Territory
 There are sections in Pinal county and also in Pima and Maricopa coun- ties, where hogs could be raised easily with little expense. The large oak groves in the mesas and the mezquite in the valleys each afford on article of food in great abundance, of which hogs are very fond and upon which they fauen readily. Ranchmen with large farms can well afford to raise grain, pumpkins, &c., sufficient to fatten large herds of swine. During the winter season pork can be easily cured, hun dreds of tons of this meat, thus prepar- eI, could Je disposed of annually right here in Arizona, and long before the supply is greater than the demand at home, We will be blessed with cheap transportation and pork can at once be made a large and important article Of export.
 TIE CITIZEN has always been faith tul in urging upon the people of the Territory such enterprises as seem sure of success and Of large and early pro fits. We trust that those of our readers who are in a condition to make prac-
 
 tical test of thIs pork business, will do so at once and inform Us of the result of their operations.

Want the Promise Kept.

OMAHA, January 14.-Lieut. Clark, who left the new Red Cloud Agency on the 7th instant, and the new Spot led Tail Agency on the llth, says the Indians at both Agencies are well sat isfied with the promises so far carried out, but they are anxious to move back from the Missouri river in the Spring. and trouble IS anticipated if they are not allowed to do SD.
