OLD TOMAS, a Cocopah Indian well
known on the lower Colorado, was found
at Texas Hill the other day, having come
up from the clam flats, Is miles below the
mouth of the river, in two days. Accord
ing to his statement the distance can not
be much over 70 miles; and possibly
nearer than that down to Adair Bay. The
Mexican Coast of the Gulf of California
trends to the Eastward from the mouth of
the Colorado, so that his statement may
be correct. The course pointed out, and
the hills he designated as being on the
trail. were very little West of South. He
says there are two good watering places
on this trail; one about % miles from
Texas Hill. It was over this trail that
Cocopahs ran. in 1857, to warn the Pimas
and Maricopas of the intended raid on
them of the Yumas and Mohaves.

THE road from San Felipe de Jesus on
the Gulf of Cal. to Real del Castillo on the
Pacific has been opened, the distance is
about $50 miles. With peace, the vast
mines of gold, silver, copper, sulphur, salt,
borax etc. and the fine timber lands could
now be developed. As sort of subsidy
Mr.. Andrade, for making this road has re.
ceived from the Mexican Government 40,
600 acres of land which is now being sur
veyed by Ismael Sanchez, Government

On Wednesday, some 1924 pounds of
onions and potatoes arrived from San
Francisco for Camp Verde. Yavapai, il not
other counties, ought to be able to COM
pete against freights by rail to Yuma,
steamboat to Ehrenberg and teams
to Verde. After coming SO great a
distance, and the delays at Yuma
and Ehrenbcrg, what will be the per-
centage of decay? How much Will those

cost Uncle Sam per pound? At what
price can our farmers of Arizona deliver
equally good, and certainly fresher, pota-
toes and onions at Camp Verde? We solicit
replies to these queries.

THE State Of Texas has what ought,
some day, to be the most princely school
fund in the Union. 1t consists of 10000
600 acres of land set apart for educational
purposes. The minimum price fixed on
these lands is $1.5O per acre, which would
indicate value OF S30,OOO00O But they
are outlying lands, and are purchasable
only in limited tracts, and this causes
them to be sold but slowly.
