THE Miner, newspaper pub
lished at Prescott, sneerlngly
speaks of large and estimable
part of the citizens of Arizona, as
"noted for their relish of murphies
and sour-kraut." That editor, Mr..
Beach, formerly of Canada, does
not seem to be aware that the
Germans and Irish have contri-
buted as much as any other nation
alities toward building up Arizo-
ma. If he wants to vent his feel
ings against any class of worthy
citizens, we cannot prevent him;
but we protest against his doing
so over the shoulders of George
Tying.

YUMA INDIANS are getting scarce
around here. Most of them have gone up
the ella, to the vicinity of Antelope Peak
and Moha wk, to gather "cuavires," accent
on the AZ which is an orange-red berry that
grows up that way in great profusion. On
these the Indians will chiefly live for the
next month or two. They grow on bushes
somewhat taller than currants, hanging
in single drupes, something like the willie
strawberries of California. The Yumas
gather great quantities and dry them for
future use.

Judge Porter for Congress.

Letters received from various
parts of the Territory almost de-
mand that Judge Porter shall be
a candidate for the office of Dele
gate TO Congress. Will THE Sen
TINEL work for him? 1t just will
that, exactly. We want a Dele
gate who can do the Territory
some good; and we always did
like to vote for the winning can
didate. Yuma county has so held
aloof from sectional quarrels, that
all the different sections realize,
that they can safely combine on a
Yuma man, without prejudice to
their own local interests.

HOOray for Our River.

The petitions we circulated here
asking Congress to make appropri-

done us ga heap" of good. A
friend at Washington writes, April

DEAR TYING: Provision was
made in the River and Harbor
Appropriation Bill, as it passed
the House, for Il survey of the
Colorado river, and / do not sup
pose it will be objected to in the
Senate. This was all that could
be done, as appropriations for this
service are never made, except
upon estimates made by cngin-
GERS.

More Arizona Transportation.

The steamer Coquille has not been pur-
chased by the Costa Rican Government as
reported. Yesterday she passed into the
hands of the Gulf of California Steamship
Company, when check for 10000, the
final payment, was drawn by Thomas H.
Blythe, the capitalist, and made payable
to the former owners. The full price paid
for the vessel is $4,000. The Coquille is
246 tons burden and reputed to be a stanch,
solid craft. She will Immediately go into
the Dry Dock, be newly coppered and 9th
erwise improved SO as to thoroughly tit
her for the new trade The steamer will
leave San Francisco on or about the first
of June, as she has to start on or before
the 18th Of June from San Bias, according
to contract on her regular semi monthly
trips along the Mexican coast. She will
run from San Bias to Port Isabel at the
mouth of the Colorado River, and a small
er steamer will run from the latter point
to Lerdo City on the Colorado. From Ler-
do City the company will run a line of
stages to Fort Yuma, drive of ten hours.
The time by this. lire will be reduced to
four days and four hours between San
Francisco and Guaymas, whereas it now
takes from twelve TO fourteen days to
travel from Guaymas and vice versa. The
Coquille, in running along the Mexican
coast will touch at Mazatlan, Alfalfa, La
Paz, MulegG, Guaymas, LIbertad and San
Felipe, Upon her arrival in Mexican Wa
tiers, the name of the steamer will be chang
ed to that Of the General Zaragosa, in hon
or of the hero who defeated the French
invaders at Puebla in 1S62.-S. T. Chroni-

MOhaVe Mails.

In view of the magnitude of the
evils complained of, and of the
apparent difficulty of securing
their correction, our readers will
forgive our devoting SO much
space to this subject, and to the
following correspondence. Our
present Delegate has evidently
been unable TO secure the relief
demanded. 1t is too long to wait
until our next Delegate takes his
seat in March, 1879. In constant
agitation of the matter we may
hope to enforce attention from the
PostOffice Department; but no re-
lief can result from submitting in
silence to the vagaries of contract
ors. The following correspond
ence will show our Mohave friends
that their grievances are being
brought to the direct notice of the
Postmaster-General:
YUMA, ARIZONA, May Q, 1878
Hon. d. VI. KEY, Postmaster General,
Washington, D. c.
SIR: Your attention is respectfully invit-
cd to the enclosed letters from responsible
citizens of Mohave county, who are just
what represent them in my endorsements
Oh th3ir letters. The facts stated have
come under my own knowledge, as have
other facts, in the same connection, which
have been omitted in enclosed correspon-
dence. beg you will read the marked ar
ticles III enclosed copies of THE SENTINEL
newspaper. The assertions therein made
can be amply verified by afiidavits of sub
stantial citizens. The performance of
mail-contracts has deprived nearly 1000
residents Of Mohavc county, IN tits Terri
tory, Of the usual facilities for travel, by
stage etc. This fact has made 1t difficult
and disagreeable for special agents of your
Department to personally investigate the
matters complained of: they baye appa-
rentiy been too easily satisfied with the
statements of contractors and other inter
ested parties, whom they may have come
in contact with, at points remote from
Mohave county. The citizens of this Ter
ritory have every confidence in your dis
position to enforce the postal laws and to
provide for them al the mail facilities to
which they are entitled. They ask you to
send reliable agent into Mohave county,
satisfied that his report and recommended
tions will secure them speedy relief. Very
respectfully,
GEORGE TING, Editor SENTINEL.

Hemp in Arizona.

Not the kind talked of on the
San Francisco sand-lOts, but the
fibre that is produced in practical
ly unlimited quantities along the
Colorado. We cannot learn wheth-
er the plant belongs to the genus
"Linum or "Cannabis," but it
is one of the two. 1t grows wild
on the overlooked land of the Col
orado, from its mouth to the mouth
of the Little Colorado or Flax riv-
er, hundreds of miles to the north
ward. 1t also grows along the
banks of several rivers in Sonora
and SinalOa. On the Colorado it
springs up just after the annual
overflow in July and ripens in
August and September, frequent
ly growing to a height of twelve
to fifteen feet in six weeks. On
the Mexican grant below here,
known as the Lerdo Colony, are
annually produced from $4,000 to
I00,O0 acres Of this wild hemp,
the area being determined by the
rise of the river and extent of its
overflow. The experiment was
made year before last, of harvest
ing some of this hemp at the Col
ony, and preparing it for market.
Five tons of the prepared fibre
were shipped to San Francisco and
was much praised for its length
and beauty. But ineXperience
and bad management ruined the
enterprise. Mr.. &. l.. Bateman
has been down there about year,
experimenting. He pronounces
the gathering and preparation of
this wild hemp practicable and
lucrative. He has prepared five
tons of the fibre, which will be
shipped to a rope-walk recently
established at Mazatlan. He has
also shipped some thirty-bushels
of the seed to San Francisco, to
be worked for oil; results have

ent yield of the wild plant. There
is no doubt that it will eventually
be introduced along the rivers of
the Gulf of Mexico. Seed will be
sent to the Commissioner of Agri-
culture for distribution to Texas
and Louisiana planters.
