From all parts of the Union, and espe-
cially from the agricultural districts of this
and adjoining States, come encouraging
letters pertaining to the proposed tri-State
Picnic and Exhibition, and if twenty five
per cent of the promises made relative to
exhibits and attendance are realized the
exhibition will be, in every way. worthy
and -commendatory of our great Order.
We know that we have undertaken ebie

Friends of the Texas Pacific Railroad bill seem to have raised quite a furry lately in that SUD- pOsed-to-be moribund measure. Photographic press despatcbes are SO notoriously colored to suit the wishes of parties influencing the despatchers, that it is hard to gather correct information from their perusal. But in the light of past events, it is easy to be- lieve that Tom Scott will get no substantial aid from Congress, unless he has formed some com- bination with Huntington. In that case the s. P. R. R., now being constructed through Ari- zona, would take @ pro rata of Scott's subsidy; though, for an appearance of consistency, such action would be disguised under a nominal transfer of the road, or by other means. Without such a "divvy" nocoalitiou seems pos sible; without such a coalition no National aid is likely to be given for building railroad over country which is already being traversed by a road built without that aid. This coalition might be of much benefit to San Diego; that city might then get a branch road from Colton-or from Yuma. If Scott has not compromised with Huntington, it is because he has had no chance to-; then the Texas Pacific bill again goes over.

Good Programme.

Better communication with the outside world is close at hand, for Mohave County. The following programme has been prepared, and we hope to see it car ried out, in all its important details. Route 4O1O5, from Ehrenherg to Mineral Park. is to be handled by Gilmer, Salisbury & Co.,, who are now running the mail from here to Prescott. That service has been increased to three trips week, the time shortened to 4S hours, and the pay increased so that there is reason to hope the work will be done faithfully.
 As soon as the railroad begins to deliver Prescott mails and passengers at Gila Bend or near Maricops Wells, the mail service from here to Prescott, direct, will be discontinued. G., S. x Co, are to put on, between the railroad and Prescott. four horse stock and the comfortable coaches formerly run by the c. 6 A. Stage Go. The light wagons ard part of the stock now running between Yuma and Prescott will be put on between here and Ehrenbelg, on new mail-route that is to be established, three times week, and making close connection with route 40105. Mails and passengers will probably be car ried fsoin Yuma to Mineral Park, on wheels, in about 80 hours.
 These changes are demanded by neces- sities of the people along the Colorado; they have been fully explained to and sanctioned by the proper officers of the Postof1ice Department; and-better yet are being worked for by influential mail contractors, who seem to out-rank the Department in power and to stand second only to Congress.
 By leaving out Tyson's Wells, and run ming northwest from the Horse Tanks, the distance from here to Ehrenberg, for wagons, is less than ninety five miles.

 The valley is again being occu- pied by settlers, attracted by the absolute cessation of danger from
 Indians, the rich soil and abun- dant water for irrigation, and by
 the eager markets for their pro- duce now assured by the rapid
 development of the Tombstone mines. One colony of Mormons has erected solid buildings of stone, and is preparing to put in large crops. They are led by Capt. P. c. Merrill, who was one of the 500 Mormon contingent called for by the United States in
 the war with Mexico. MerrilFs command marched through
 northern Sonora, now Arizona,
 through Yuma, to San Bernar- dino. That was in 1S46. On ap- preaching Tucson they sent in two men, who were held captive.
 They then marched upon the
 town, but the Mexicans fled with
 out showing fight. The curse of the valley has been It's production of malaria and resulting sickness.
 Its soil is one deep mass of decayed organic matter wash ed in from the slopes above it. Through this soil the water of the San Pedro percolates, ooz- ing out again in marshes on the sides of the valley. Malarial levers are caused by drinking this water, by the noxlous vapofs which settle into the valley after sunset, and by the'rapid radiation during the wonderfully clear nights, of heat absorbed from the sun by day. By boiling the water, to precipitate albuminous organic matter, before drinking it; and by sleeping up in the hills away from the valley, after the Indian custom, settlers can enjoy as good health on the San Pedro as they can anywhere. That country is too eXte hsive and too rich to long remain unoccupied. Passing on up the valley one sees ahead the round hills in it that mark the location of Tombstone; turning to the left the road enters the rolling ground that leads up to them. Here the grass is scantier than on the valley; except Tn the washes, where cocks of wild hay, one to two tons to the acre, indicate apl proach to camp. Two miles north of the mines one comes to the new town of "Gouge-eye," which in December possessed few feas lures of interest. It ewes it's ex- istence to the possession of water enough to- supply the mines, which are destitute of it. From there to Tombstone the road is sleeper, but has little Of interest.

WE are glad to note the return to Ari- zona of Capt. J. H. Hurst, who left here on Tuesday with a lot of recruits for Verde. Capt. Hurst was for long time stationed ln Mohave County, and was one of the most popular army officers ever Tn the Territory. He now comes from ardu- ous service in the Nez Perce, Nevada and Oregon Indian wars.

mas a cnOlco O1 several SOOQ rOdQS. That now followed by the stage, a roomy vehicle drawn by four good horses, strikes across a great plain, along the base of the hills, toward the gap between the Santa Catarina range, whose sum- mits are darkened by extensive pineries, and the Whetstone Mountains, where gallant Cush- ing and Simpson met their death in reckless stand against an overwhelming number of Apach- es. This plain is of good soil. covered with fair grass and scat- tering clumps of larrea.. Though waterless, it presents many spots favorable for obtaining water by wells. The excellence of the nat ural roads over it soon becomes monotonous, and one is glad to enter the caiion forming the pass, with it's clear stream and varied shrubbery and timber. In places the canon Widens into meadows whose slight declivity retards the flow of water and forms marshes which have ever been a favorite pasture of cattle. Here are the Mescal ranch and the Cienega, for the possession of which Mexicans and Americans have fought Indians for nearly 8 hundred years. On either side of the cafon are rolling hills and long slopes covered with grass, and all tributary to it's waters. Through this ca6on have been made careful surveys for the Southern Pacific railroad in the hope of avoiding the long detous around the Santa Ritas, to the southward. The cahon presents no serious obstacle; the trouble lies in crossing the valley of the San Pedro, beyond.
 On reaching the summit a mag nifcent view is offered to the traveller. Extending up to the mountains on either side, for miles, are long slopes covered with luXuriant grasses, velvet green at one season. and russet- brown when dry. Ahead is a gradual but rapid descent of twelve miles, to the San Pedro '''ver; beyond are the Dragoon fountains, famous as the strong hold of Cachise, and in whose fastnesses he whipped three of the best Indian fighters Arizona has seen; Winters, Bernard and Cushing, at the head of three good companies of cavalry. To the North are piles upon piles of hills and mountains appearing to lap, one upon another, and giving no sign of the fine valleys between them. To the South extend the rounder outlines of the Mule Pass Range; and still farther on appear dim contours, purple with distance, of the San Jose and other mountains in Sonora.
 The road follows that of Butter fields famous Overland Mail; tra- ditions of which still fill the coun- try. On nearing the valley pro- per the descent is very abrupt. The valley itself is of anuvial soil, of variable width, and fianked by more or less terraced table lands of unequal height. Upon it are several ruins of houses and spa. cious corrals. Within the memo. " of living men there were Fais. ed upon it large crops of wheas and corn and immense herds oi cattle and horses.

BAD NEWS FROM MEMPHIS.

We could have hoped for better news
from Memphis; but feel constrained to
give what comes, good or bad.
Mayor Thistlcwood received a dispatch
yesterday evening, from the Secretary of
the Memphis Board of Health, stating that
five new cases had developed themselves in
the city during the day. From other
sources the Mayor learned that they were
confined to one family, If this be true,
it gives rise to the hope that they are
chargeablc to specific local causes, and not
tocauses that may effect the whole city.
Our authorities will not act precipitously,
but when 1t Is found necessary to again
quarantine against Memphis, the quaran-
tine must be and WILL BE of character
that will completely and absolutely shut
us off from all communication with that
city.
