To the Board of Public Works:
The City Council at their meeting November
7th, 1878, returned the final estimate Tor grad
ing Bates avenue, with request that the
contractor be ordered to complete hia contract
meaning that he be compelled to surface the
street with stone and gravel which was de-
manded by a petition Of some Of the property
holders.
This order you referred to me with instruc-
tions to have the work so completed.
The contractor was notified at the time, and
again on May 10th, 1879, to Immediately finish
the work, but has failed to take any steps
thereto, and has not replied in any way to the
notices.
1t seems to be necessary, therefore, to employ
men and finish this work under the direction of
the City Engineer. To make this possible the
city ought to appropriate sufficient sum of
money, say $500, from which to pay running
expenses

Grant for President

The St Louis GIo5e-Democrat will not give up its convictions. It has for more than year endeavored to get up what is called in the East a boom for Grant, and refuses to be- lIcve that he is not to be the next Republican Presidential candidate. Here is what it has to say on that head:
 Senator Logan is chairman of the committee appointed to receive Gen eral Grant at Chicago. We look 10 Logan to do his duty in this matter, and to tell Grant very plainly that he is to be the next Republican candi- date for President. There has been to much non-partisan gammon talked to Grant and about Grant lately Every sane man kuows that Grant, if he lives, will be the Republican candidate for President, and there is no sense in affecting ignorance on the subject. On with the boom.

Southern Business Revival.

Wholesale merchants assert that moro business has been done and is being done here than for ten years past. Some of them have doubled their stocks and are constantly re- moving them to meet the mand. Merchants and clerks are now kept busy from early in the morning until long after midnight. Freights on all the railroads centering here con tinue steadily to increase, and there is hardly any telling to what propor- tions business may increase Pas sengcrs tariff has corresponding in creased, and is better than has been known at this season for years.

THE endeavors to establish the the sugar industry in Southern Cal ifornla is causing considerable com motion in that section. Societies have been formed of those willing to pledge themselves to cultivate the sugar beet or sugar cane during the coming year, and many have enrolled as members. And there is every indication, at present, that this long-neglected, but profitable business, will at last receive, in Cal ifornia at least, the consideration due it by reason of it's great adapt ibility to the climate and soil of Southern California and Arizona. We are sorry to see that the people ofour Territory treat a matter of so much importance with indifference, and lag behind others in the estab- lishment of a business which pays such large and quick returns on the small amount of labor and capital necessary to firmly establish it. The latter consideration alone should be we think sufficient to induce some of our enterprising farmers to en- gage in it.

THE Tucson ''Citizen" has its leading editorial in it's issue of the 10th instant, directed against the exsortionate rents charged in that city. It states that as few of the business men own their places of business, it las had the effect of driving them from the principal streets into more remote quarters, besides being the means of driving away many merchants who were desirous to embark in business in that city, but who were unable to satisfy themselves that their busi- ness would warrant such an ex- penditure in the single item of rent; or, that the future of the town would justify them in making any investment in real estate. This is bad state of affairs, and one which must greatly 1etard the develop ment of any city, and for this reason we are happy in knowing that in Phoenix the opposite is the rule-as here most of cur merchants own their places of business, and those who do not are so confident of the great future in store for our city, as to be either already build ing, or preparing to build places of business for themselves.

A NEW RAILROAD.

There is a strong movement on foot in St. Louis, among the stock holders of the St. Louis & San Francisco and the Atlantic < Pacific Railroad Companies to consolidate their two lines, and extend their joint road distance of little over six hundred miles into New Mexico, and there form junction with the Southern Pacific, by this means forming one direct line of travel and transportation from St. Louis to San Franci co. The advantages which this road would possesses over either the Central or Northern
 Pacific roads, in being removed from the discomforts of extreme cold, and the liability of being de timed by heavy snows, have con
 vinced those gentleman so thor oughly o that such road would be- come the most popular route be- tween the East and the West that they have almost deeisively con cluded to begin, within the next three months, operations looking toward the early accomplishment of the project. T he benefits which would accrue to Arizona from the completion of this road are mani fold and self evident. A reduction on freight and passenger rates would be a natural consequence; the first would open the markets of the East to our products, and at the same time encourage the bringing into our Territory of machinery with which our mines would be de- veloped fully and scientifically, the second would open the Territory to extensive immigration from the oyercrowded East.

The HERALD reporter meeting Thos. c. Rogers, the noted trailer, who recently succeeded in tracing across desert and mountains, into Sonora, a fSSsitive thief who had stolen several fine horses. from Mir. D. w. Cum mings, of our city, obtained in an interview the following facts regard ing our near ighbors:
 Reporter: Mr Rogers, how did you find things in Sonoras MT. Rogers: Well everything is pretty quiet there, with the excep- ton of the mines, where everything is lively, and business good
 Reporter: What kind of ore are they taking out of those mines, and dc you think they will be perma- nent institutions
 Mr. Rogers: Some very fine silver ore is being taken out, and do not doubt but that with the introduction of improved mining machinery a good deal of wealth will be wrested from them-
 Reporter. Are there many for eigncrs going iuto the mines, and how are those who are there treated by the natives and authorfties2
 Mr. Rogers. There are a good many foreigners trying their fortune in the mines, and from, what I could learn all were treated well. Indeed, the Nexicans seem to desire such an element, believing that with it will come capital and improved ma chinery to develop inc latent wealth of their country
 Reporter: Outside Of the mining regions what is the general quality of the land?
 Mr. Rogers. Along the Altar river there is some very fine land, wei adapted to agriculture, but owing to Is need of irrigation before IL can be utilized for illis purpose, the peo- pie, with their usual IndGience' neglect it is cultivation All the land is fine stock-lard, and Is only utilized in this capacity

TL0BE AII1, OCt- 10 O.
 A brief soiourn at this Camp re- veals a few things worthy of public notice. Business during the sum mer months, was at low ebb. The supply of merchandise ran low, and but little money was realized on sales of goods. The remodeling of 1he Isabella mill and the Millner and Masons mill comme uclng to work ore, began to infuse life, and hopes of better things The rapidity with which bullion was produced and the large yield of the different mines per ton, revealed the fact that Globe District was not a paper dis trict: and that our mines as rule are not Wild Cat Mines, of which : the world is now receiving ocular demonstration. Our mines are not only increasing in number, but in richness. Indeed, we are now in q situation to point to
 FACTS AND FIGURES.
 Hence, confidence which in the minds of many had been waning, was rest ored. Our store rooms are being filled with heavy stocks of goods which would do honor to towns of greater age and pretentions. Money is getting more plentiful |. Old debts are being paid up; and new bills made with better conf dence in their ultimate payment There huve been some concession s made in prices of goods The house of Hise, Hills & Co, have during ufeveral weeks been engaged in a clearance sale. Our population is notably on the increase. And whilst the greater per cent. of increase is Mexican, American families are ire qucntly arriving MT. Wildly having resigned the district school, a recent arrival from the East has taken charge of the same, and is giv- ing excellent satisfaction. Divine services and Sunday school are being held every Sabbath; and vocal music rehearsals a. least one evening per week. So you see Mir. Editor that our aim is to rank with our more ad- vanced sister towns
 IN MAINTAINING GOOD SOCIETY. Efforts are being male to build a par sonage for the resident minister A creditable news and periodical de- pot is being fitted up; and literary society is talked of. But with the increase of prosperity, we have also the usual barnacles to law and order. Your Sheriff and citizens having taken measures to rid your city and -neighborhood of your surplus popu- lation. Other localities are receiv- ing the benefit of the reflex tide. With tine opening of court at Florence next Monday, our camp is being de camped and the cry is, 'tAll Aboard for Florence" Another visit of our highly esteemed Sheriff, and we will not have effective men enough to "hold the Fort" against Victorio; should he sec fit to pay us flying visit Several representatives o: capital have recently arrived from the East, and-are higly pleased with our prospects.
