REPORT comes to us of fifteen
United States surveyors at work
On the banks of the Colorado, Sec
tionizing. We are told they came
from Bodie, have surveyed only
on the California side, and on
Wednesday were at Alligator
Rock, two miles below Castle
Dome Landing. They are to re-
turn up the river on the Arizona
side, and will have surveyed the
"swamp and overlooked" land
of this portion of the Colorado
Valley. Some time ago a party
of surveyors, under the auspices
of T. III. Blythe, went over a por.
ton of the ground, landing at
Black Point, above Ehrenberg.

THE privilege of sending four
pound packages by mail is one
that is much abused in this coun-
try. It was intended for accom-
mediation of the general pnblic,
but has been chiefly enjoyed by
merchants doing business in re-
mote parts of the country where
regular rates of transportation are
as high as those charged for post
age. There frequently arrives
here as much as 1900 or 1900
pounds of merchandise to go out
into the Tucson country by mail.
1t overlOads stages, incommodes
passengers, and crowds other
mail. The public can have little
right to complain of contractors,

a NEW enterprise is about to
be unde1 taken in this Territory
by Messrs. John Kelly, formerly
Of Oakland and well known as a
prominent and wealthy cattle
dealer, and David Balsz, who has
lived long enough in Arizona to
know every turn Of the country,
and who has been more or less
connected with live stock for the
pastthirty years. They are about
to start wholesale beef business
for the purpose of supplying fat
cattle to every part Of the Terri
tory aud at every season of
the year. They have already
secured good range in north
eastern Maricopa County for 2, 500
head of cattle, and are making
arrangements for obtaining more,
so that they can always keep fat
stock enough on hand to be able
to fill all demands Their head
quarters will be at Phoenix, where
all orders for cattle Or beef will
receive immediate attention.
They have ample capital, no end
of energy, and are determined to
command trade by reasonable
prices. Wherever they can not
sell cattle they will probably
butcher. Grass is always good in
eastern Maricopa, and stock Is
always fat there. The opposite
condition occurs every winter
in California. With completion of
the railroad to Marieopa Wells,
fat beef can be shipped to Call
ifornia, as well as it can from
Nevada--and better beef. This
new enterprise has every assur-
ance of success.

Yuma, from all that We can learn, is
fast degenerating into mere way-station
on the Southern Pacific Railway.
So says the Prescott Enterprise with
out energy enough to gather facts; with
out capacity for digesting such informa-
ton as may be poured into 1t; and without
enough sense ofjustice to prevent its con-
demning part of Arizona, before acquir-
ing accurate knowledge of it. While it is
true that Yuma has not, for the past year
improved as rapidly as Tucson, Ph9nix,
or other more favored parts of our Terri
tory, it is equally true that its decay has
been no more rapid than that Oft is
well known what village we mean. AS q
matter of fact Yuma now enjoys more
prosperity than it has averaged for the
past ten years. The railroad business
here is fast taking the place Of that for
merly brought here by teamsters. Our
steamboat business is quite dull; quite So
But that is because the Prescott country
has apparently quit buying goods for
the past six months. 1t is to be hoped
that Prescott may soon recuperate, in
crease our steamboat freights, and that
its editors may regard rival cities with
less envious, jaundiced eyes. If Prescott
wants to keep Headquarters, Capital, and
the other things it lives on, let 1t muzzle
its journalists.

A NOVEL style of mining is
being introduced at Silver Dis
trict, in this County, by Mr.. War
rem Hammond, on the famous
Red Cloud mine. He has a hill
of ore from one edge of which he
peeled off some fourteen tons
which he sold at over $500 per
ton. He is now boring deep holes
with an eleven-foot drill on the
slope of the hill. He will put
giant powder cartridges down
these holes and explode them.
If they do not throw Off the face
of the hill, they will atleast make
considerable cavities, which will
be afterward filed with black
powder and exploded. The
brOadside of the Hill will then
come down, sure; and be broken
up, sacked and shipped for sale.
There are now over ninety men
in Silver District, and more com-
ing in. Hughes shaft is now
down over fifty feet, in first-rate
ore. The Silver Glance is turn
ing out some very rich ore. An
accidental strike of rich ore was
made lately in the wash north of
the Iron Cap. Some of the boys
started to dig down in the gravel
for water. Within a few feet
they struck a seam of, high grade
ore, of which several sacks were
filed that same day. The new
find is very promising. Good ac-
counts come from all the mines
up there. Nuggets of ore claim
ed to be worth 81 per pound are
being washed out of the gravel
north of the Red Cloud.

ARRANGEMENTS are alread

ARRANGEMENTS are already
being made for effecting a trans
fer of the southern terminus of
Prescott stage-line from Yuma to
ella Bend. Mr.. James Stewart
has a building and a safe at Dos
Palms which are to be taken to
ella Bend, for o stage Office, as
soon as a railroad station is estab.
lished there.

Railroad Matters.

what IS going on there. When
Col. StrObridge's forces are laying
one and a half and two miles of
track q day we always hear Of it.
But, when from delay in receiv-
ing rails or any other cause, their
work drops Off to five or six miles
a week, nothing is heard from
the "front;" though in other
countries that would be looked
upon as progress enough to be
proud of. The distance, along
the line, from StanWix to where
it is now proposed to establish a
new station, near ella Bend, is
thirty-six miles; from there to
Maricopa it is thirty-eight miles.
Last Monday the track was all
graded for over forty miles be-
yond StanwiX; men were at work
at intervals far beyond the end of
the grade; and though the graders
are working at some disadvantage
so far ahead of the construction
train, the grade will be all COM
pleted early next month. On
that day the end of the track was
thirteen miles east of StanWiX,
and rails enough had arrived to,
with what were on hand, lay four
miles more. Several miles more
have gone forward during the
week, though we have no record
of the exact number. Stanwix
was located in a fiat of sand and
clay, because it was the only spot
for several miles which was level
enough to make a "yard" for
transaction of business. It has
already become SO tramped up as
to be the busiest place on Earth;
everyone will be glad to leave it
for a new station. The question
of water is still perplexing one;
all now used being hauled out
from Yuma in great tanks mount
ed on fiat cars. Excellent water,
and plenty of it, has been struck at
the eastern boundary of the rail-
road toWn-site at Maricopa. Good
water is also said to have been
found near the centre of the town,
at forty to fifty feet. At Texas
Hill is a new steam pump, which
gives color to report that tank
is to be set there, to receive water
pumped up from the ella. Sur
veys have been made which show
that water raised from the ella to
height of eighty feet will flow
to Texas Hill through five miles
of pipe. Other trifies also indi-
cate an intention of making Texas
Hill a permanent station. It is
now meeting and passing place
for trains. and a dinner station.
The pile-driver train is still at
work on the bridges in Mohawk
Gap. A section house is being
built this side of Mohawk, an
other this side of Antelope, and
another just beyond ella City.
These are neat cottages of
several rooms, nicely finished
and painted, and provided
with double single roofs.
Close to each are erected a tool
house, house for Chinese labOrers,
Out-hOuSeS etc. Ties continue to
go forward, though it is evident
that there are now enough of
them on this side of the Colorado
river to build far beyond Mari
copa. No intention of building
farther East this season has yet
been made public by the S. P. r.
r. Co: though there are some
indications of such intention.

y
river, we were much gratified to
find many Of our predictions veri-
fed in regard to that part of Ari-
IONA, and all that we have ever
written about it more than cor
roborated by facts falling under
our observation. The desert
along the ella affords no indica-
ton of the more attractive coun-
try lying south, beyond the noun
tains. The rainfall is greater,
grass is abundant, and there is a
good deal of .shrubbery and TIM
Der. The Papago Indians raise
wheat, corn, pumpkins, etc.,
without irrigation, and have
plenty of fat cattle and horses.
But rich mines are what give
that Papago country its greatest
attractions. Great deposits of
copper, lead and anthony have
long been known there. From
the Ajo mine, fifteen years ago,
were shipped over 800 tons of cop
per ore, that carried gold and sill
yer enough to pay the enormous
cost of transportation toSan Fran
cisco in those days. The title to
this mine has long been uncertain,
but work is likely to be soon re-
sumed upon it; and will be fol-
lowed by development Of a num-
Der of other mines on the same
copper belt. The other base
metal deposits have now some
value given to themby proximity
of the Southern Pacific Railroad.
Collaborating quartz has been
found in many places. A ten
stamp mill is now being prepared
for the San Antonio mine, just
across the Mexican line. The
Santo Domingo silver mines have
long been worked by men too
poor to properly develop them.
But an Eastern company has al
ready been formed, with means
enough to handle them.
Very active interest in that
country has been excited by the
discovery last December, about
fifteen miles south of east from
the old Ajo mine, Of very large
lodges carrying rich ores Of sill
yer. The first shipment Of the
ore made was a small one of five
sacks; $50 pounds Of this lot pulp
ed at the rate of $2,895.12 per ton;
and the other 1913 pounds gave
S653.56 per ton. Three other lots
of about 1000 pounds each have
been shipped, from which no re.
turns have yet been received.
The new district is called the
meyers Mining District" The
fortunate discoveries are r. H.
Meyers, G. D. Marshall, G. l..
Ward and B. II. Lockhart. Their
locations are called the Gunsight,
Silver Girth, Atlanta, Eastern,
Westward, Monumental, Morn
ing Star, Crescent and Mineral
Bed. Some of these are destined
to become famous. Extensions
have been located which look
very promising. The same min
eral belt has been traced several
miles to the southwark, and a
number of good mines found in
it. When the railroad reaches
ella Bend it will be within forty
five miles of these new mines.
Over 100 men are now prospect
ing in that vicinity. Every camp
Is full of good specimens from
new finds. The best mines have
been found in leptynite traversed
by quartzite dykes; they Will
probably carry water and sulphide
ores at no great depth.
