this Fall will find Big Bug in possession
of two first -class mills. and the district
producing as much, If not more bullion
than other in the country. Such enter

properly Carried out, is worth more te

Freight Arrivals.

We commenced to give our
readers weekly reports of the
freight brought into our Territory
bNthe S. P. r. r. May 18th 1878.
For more than a year we have
faithfully recorded the freight ar
rivals by thissource; this has been
accomplished at the cost of con.
siderable time and labor; and,
though these reports may have
possessed little interest to some
of our readers, we have been
gratified by the flattering APP
prevail and thanks of many of our
merchants, freighters, forwarders
and others to whom they have
been of much interest and bene-
fit and the Territorial papers have
largely reproduced those portions
relating to their respective Sec
tions.
Now, our object accomplishe"'
we last week ceased giving these
reports actuated by many reasons:
The freight is now delivered so
=
near its destination that some of
it will BIZ delivered almost as
soon as the SENTINEL; much
through freight will hereafter
come in sealed cars and the way
bills only opened at Maricopa or
Casa Grande where we can have
no access to them; being unable
to any longer give complete and
correct reports and the benefits of
them having ceased, we shall
give matters of general interest

to "Freigtt Arrivals"

ments are as gratultous as thew are incor.
rect, and he coulo have readily learned
the facts and stated them, instead Of max.
ing such damaging assertions.
In the first place, have no connection
with Governor Fremont, nor would wish
to have any. In the next place, never
proposed to food the desert and make an
inland sea, but have ever intended TO irri-
gate it and bring it into cultivation. And
In the next place, the basin, instead Of
being three hundred miles long, fifty
miles wide and three hundred feet deep, Is
less than seventy-ive miles long, thirty
wide and is not three hundred feet deep.
The amount Of lands embraced in my bill
now before Congress, which may be irri-
gated, will be about one million acres.
And when those lands are covered By veg
citation and moisture, the temperature
will be much lower than by sheet of
water, and the evaporation much less.
All of the foregoing facts were accessible
to the General, and he knew me well
enough to know that would not be likely
to engage in any such visionary schemes
or any measures simply for my own ag-
grandisement. Instead of calling for an
appropriation or subsidy, have engaged
to pay the Government the appraised
value of the lands as they cow are, IN the
bill now pending before Congress. And.
in conclusion. I will state that, having
complied with all the requirements of
Government and met the approval of all
sensible men, in and out ofSCongress, I
expect it to become law. Respectfully,

A young man, pretending to
be rector of the st Johns Epis-
coDal church of San Francisco,
not long ago wrote us requesting
Us to announce that he would
be In Yuma the following Sum
day and would hold services here.
We therefore advertised him I;
more, at his request we engaged
the Court room, and various prep
aratiOnS were made to furnish a
choir and music; this young man
came to Yuma, was here an hour
or more and left without making
or leaving any excuse or message
to explain why he so wilfully
failed to keep his engagement,
thereby Disappointing a congre-
CATION of over fifty. We have
heard Of various other engage
ments made by him during his
brief stay in Arizona which have
convinced us that he is not a
reliable man. On his return he
gave as a reason for not meeting
his engagement as advertised
here, that no one was III the depot
to meet him. This youthful
missionary to Arizona got huff

pect and attention.
We should not have referred
to this matter but that on his re.

been but two weeks) saying among
other things the following which
are so silly and frivolous as to
