tration Of Mr.. Fillmore. = His administration
and his service as cabinet counselor OF Mr..
Fillmore contributed largely to the success
and brilIancy of one of the most successful
administrations In tho history Of tho republic.
When our civil war broke out Mr. Conrad,
| who was then absent from the State. hurried
back to take his share Of the danger and sacr-
fice which that event involved and de-
| marided. He gave his best efforts and de-
vOtion to the maintenance and defense
Of tho rights and honor Of the State,
and risked u splendid fortune In the bold
adventure which proved SO disastrous.
Elected to the Confederate Congress from
tho city OF New Orleans he proved one a the
most laborious and interchangeable members Of
that body. and never wearied il earnest and
seIfsacriticing labor and efforts to promote
the wise and successful administration of the
now government His large estate, and that
of his brothers. was eonfiscated by that
ruthless spectator Dureli, and only now that
his life estate has terminated will his de-
soendants be enabled to enjoy any portion Of
the accumulations of his hong life of industry
and thrift.
Shortly after Mir. Conrad had established
himself in this State. he was followed here by
three brothers, Fred. Alfred and Frank, and
two sisters, oil Of whom flied high positions
In society. Mr.. Conrad was widower. Two
sons survive him, both members Of tho
bar, one residing in Baltimore and the other
in this city. Their mother was n blood rela-
tive Of George Washington. and her remains

Our Lmportance.

A new and excellent weekly jouIna
 has just made its appearance in Phil
 adelphia, with the well known and abl' journalist, John W. Forney as Editor
 and proprietor. It is devoted to scien
 tific and popular subjects, and all topic:
 are presented in a most attractive anC learned manner The first issue con
 iains a we'll written article on the min
 ing interests of the United States, ir
 which the mining resources of our Ter ritory are given important consider ation as follows.
 The mines of Arizona, which are chiefly silver bearing, generally begin at the suface, cropping out and reveal ing their existence to the most casual observer. This Territory is said to con. tam Q greater amount of mineral wealth than is to be found anywhere else. Humboldt predicted that in this region would be discovered more gold and silver than is concentrated in any other country. The silver and gold belts of the North here unite with the veins that traverse Mexico, and South America. One oi the Arizona mines is said tO be rich enough to supply the whole world with silver The South ern Pacific Railroad, which has now reached Yuma on the Western bound ary, will, in the course of year, trav- erse the territory to Fl PasO on the Rio Grande, connecting al that point with the railroads converging from Texas and New Mexico, and with the pro- posed extension to the city of Mexico. The completion of these lines of con- munication will lead to d rapid devel- .opment of the mineral resources of Arizona, and to the easy conveyance .of its products to the Eastern and Western markets.
 We certainly have great reason 10 be encouraged when such wide circulating journals accede the great importance of the mineral resources of our Terr;to- ny. Capitalists from nearly every state are now endesvoring to secure mining interests in Arizona. The great lines of communication which are to lead to our rapid development are now being con structed with all possible rapidity. Shafts are being sunk in every section and thousands of tong of rich ore lay exposed today awaiting reduction. Every feature of the present aspect of affairs is most encouraging and point to an immediate future when the i'm portance of AriZona's resources will not merely be predicted but shall be felt, not only in the great markets east and west but, also in the many com mercial and trading ports beyond the mighty seas.

4 Bank For TucsoR.

Definite arrangements have been made to establish a bank in Tucson and it will be opened as soon as a proper building, safe, &c., is provided. The chief promoters of this enterprise are our townsmen Gov. Stafford, Mayor TOole, John Wasson and Charles Hud- son. The bank will be under the man. agement of Mir. Hudson, who by long experience in and familiarity with the business is we'll qualified to discharge the duties and who also has the conf. dence of the people who know him to be second to no other man in the Territory. An institution of this kind has long been needed in Tucson, and will prove ot great value to the commercial and industrial interests, and we are much pleased to learn that our own people are leading of in so laudable an enter prise

New Mines.

l The Silver City Herald of Novem Der 23, has the following items on the new mines which have lately been dis covered, about twelve miles this side of Camp Supply and some thirty miles south from Camp Bowie. Mir Swiss helm. who is the Herald's informant, is confident that these mines will, soon. CT or later. become the center of one of the most extensive mining districts in Southern Arizona.
 The Herald says: John Swisshelm, who returned last Wednesday from the Whitewater Basin, Tn the Swisshelm mountains, Arizona, gives a most ta- vorable account of the new mines in that vicinity. He says that four of the mines are now being worked with splendid results. The first of these is the Mountain Queen, which is being opened by a tunnel running across the vein. IL has been run in about forty feet, and the west wall.rock of the vein was struck about twenty feet from the mouth. The balance of the work has been carried on through metal, of which some eighty tons have been ex- tracted. The eastern wall rock has not yet been reached, although the character of the ore has changed from grey and black carbonates of silver, to a red oxide The average assay of the ore is 112 ounces. This mine is owned by Henry Henson, John Swisshelm and J. w. Fleming.
 The second mine in importance is the Whale, situated about half a mile northeast of Mountain Queen. A shaft four by eight, and twelve feet deep has been sunk entirely on the vein, the wall rock not being touched upon either side. Thirty-five tons of ore, assaying from 174 10 430 ounces 10 the ton, have been taken out. It Is a red carbonate. and steadily improves in quality with increase of depth.
 The Mammoth, an extension of the Whale, belongs to Martin Smith of San Francisco, and Geo. W. Myers. The vein is opened up along about four hundred feet of its length and some forty tons of ore have been taken out. It shows both horn and metallic silver, and although no assay has yet been made, experts who have examined the rock are unanimous in pronOunc- ing it very rich-some estimates even running into the thousands.
 The fourth mine, the Mountain Chief, is being worked by James Bullard and Adam Clark. The vein which is four feet wide, runs parallel with the Noun tain Queen. about 800 feet to the east, and shows the same class of ore as the latter The shaft had reached a depth of ten feet, when MT. Swisshelm left, and some thirty ,ons of fine looking ore had been taken out. No assay has yet been made.
 There are numerous other locations in the immediate vicinity, and a re- gular district will soon be organized. Wood, water and grass are abundant for miles around.

Field Of Minerals Increasing.

Mining operations have been eXten- sively carried on west of the Missouri river for the past thirty years, and the treasure yield resulting therefrom has been immense. Scientific men have been calculating the probabilities of an increase or decrease in this yield. Careful comparisons and estimates have been made and one result, which appeared in carefully written article in the Philadelphia Progress, we give as follows:
 The immense quantity of gold pro- duce6 m the United States will be best appreciated by comparing II with the whole production of the world from the earliest periods. This Is estimated at $7,0OO,OOO. 900. Statistical returns show that from !s49 to 1876 inclusive, the product Of gold in this country was $1.356, ,490,745. What will it not be when Arizona and the other mineral regions are made accessible by rail. roads: IL is not too much to say that rapid as has been the development and rich the yield of the mining countries west of the Missouri River within the last twenty years, It will be far greater in the future. This new source Oi  wealth will lead to the formation of great commercial cities on the Pacific coast, to an overflow of capital into other branches of industry and enter prise, to the extension of agriculture, to manufacturing operations of every kind. The stimulus which this stream of annually increasing wealth will give to every species of production, cannot fall to vastly extend our trade with Asia, and to make San Francesca one of the first financial capitals of the world. In the end, the United States will exert as great an influence on moneyed operations in Europe as il SOW does politically

4 Petition.

The residents of Globe district have circulated a petition which has been generally signed, asking the authorities at Washington for another slice of the San Carlos Indian Reservation. This is very just petition and will un- Idoubledly be so considered by the Washington officials. When the Globe
 District was first discovered it was soon aScertained that many Of the best claims were within the reservation limits. A petition properly signed and endorsed was forwarded to Washing ton and the small reduction of the res ervation asked for was granted. Nearly three years have rolled by since then more important discoveries have been made; claims have been located on dis puted ground. Numerous and extensive developments have been made near and perhaps within the reservation line. Parties owning these mines have been more or less annoyed by this uncer- tainly. The only proper thing to be done Is to give the miners more room. The land asked for is of such charac- ter as to be of but little use to the h. dians It is strictly mineral land and should be given to the miners. The reduction now asked for is three or four miles in width, and cuts out the entire mineral belt, so if the present petition is granted the Indian authori- ties will not again be molested. We trust and believe the petitioners will
 find little delay or trouble in having their prayer granted.
