The Governor ID the East.

NEW YORK, April S.-Gen. Fremont of Arizona, now here, says that the Department of the Interior promises to restrict the Pima and Maricopa In dians to smaller reservation on Salt River than that recently assigned them, and assures him that it shall not in any way interfere with settlers there. The Department meantime will examine his plan for the removal of all of the Valley Indians of AriZO- na to the Government Reservation on the Colorado river, towards its mouth, and he has hopes of its adoption.
 Fremont has submitted to the Gov ernment a plan for bringing the waters of the Gulf of California back to their old basin in Southern California, which would, he says, create an inland sea two hundred miles long, fifty broad, three hundred feet deep, con verting a desert waste into highway for commerce, and greatly improving the climate of Southern Arizona and Southeastern California. Fremont says he has been successful in awakening the attention of capitalists here to Ari- Zona mining interests and reports good results to follow.

Southern Pacific crosses this great arid basin diagonally and on its long est axis, afiording every needed facili- ty for supplying it with goods and shipping its scanty exports. Not much need for steamers circumnavIgating the peninsula to perform this service.
 It will be observed that this plan for introducing the salt water of the Gulf upon these dry lands and covering them up altogether, forms no part Of the scheme of Dr. Wozencraft, who, on the contrary, proposes to irrigate them with water brought in from the Colo rado river, and thereby convert them into a great tobacco, rice and cotton producing region; an enterprise quite as feasible and seemingly more desira- ble in an economical point of view than this more recent and novel enter prise of the Great Pathfinder"

ON March 10th at Fairfield, on the Clyde, a new iron steamship belong ing to the GuiOn Steamship Company and named the Arizona, was success fully launched. The Arizona is the largest vessel ever built on the Clyde, and, except the Great Eastern, is the largest steamship in the world. She is 465 feet long; and has 46 feet breadth of beam, and 37 feet depth of hold. Her tonnage is $500 tons. She will arrive in New York on her first trip, the latter part of May.

Flooding the Desert.

The Mining and Scientific Press de- votes column to the proposition of Gov. Fremont to flood the Colorado desert. The matter is treated in a Isemi-serious manner. We quote the following extracts:
 The question is not so much one of financial and engineering difficulty, as of economical and sanitary consideIa- tions. Fears having been expressed that the flooding of such shallow basin, with its marshy borders, would breed enough malaria to endanger the health of the regions adjacent; the query also being suggested, whether it would
 be good policy to convert this district, Idesert as it is, into a vast expanse of salt water merely for the beneficial effects it would be likely to exert on the climate of the surrounding coun- try and the facilities it would afford for inland navigation.
 That the presence of so large body of water would tend to moderate the temperature of this, the hottest and .driest section of California, admits of mo doubt. This lake would also open navigation to vessels of deeper draft than can now ascend the Colorado. But what business would there be for vessels on a lake like this, surrounded by sterile regions, destitute alike of agricultural and mineral resources l? There are mineral-bearing lodes far to the north, on both the California and Arizona sides of the Colorado: but none, SO far as we know, within al hundred miles or more of the site of this proposed inland sea. Unlike the Mohave desert, adjoining it on the north, this sO-called Colorado desert produces much graSs-so much in fact, that with water for stock, it would really be valuable grazing district. As it lies so low, great deal of it be- ing depressed from fifty to three hun dred feet below the sea level, it isl probable that good water could be ob tained by artesian boring-very likely. merely by digging. What little water there is near the surface IS generally bad, being impregnated with alkaline, saline, or other substances of an in- furious kind. At greater depths, itI would no doubt be more plentiful, and of better quality. The Railroad Com pany have, we believe, got good water at several points on this desert by bor- ing, and that without going to very great depths.
 With railroads traversing these des erts, such inland navigation as a lake of this kind would afford becomes of less importance; provided, always, there were any local carrying of con- sequence here to be done; which. as before remarked, there is not. The

In reply 1 have to say that it is reasona- ble to suppose that the agent is cer- tainly accountable for at least the or iginal capital stock, and the assertion of him only owing $5023 is absurd.
