THE SOUTHERN PACIFIC RAILROAD.

Too much praise cannot be awarded to the California capitalists for the enterprise with which at a time of worldwide depres- sion they have built first 720 miles of rail- road from San Francisco to Yuma on the Colorado and now are pushing It eastward through Arizona at the rate of one mile and half every day.. To comprehend the diffi- eu.ties uHGer which this undertaking has been achieved, one must go over the lines of the road, across the drearv deserts and through the mountain labyrinfhs whien have been overcome, and are now trayers- cd by railway of the hrst class in point of engineering construction and in its equip ments. From the time of its completion 10 Yuma, in May, 1877, it gave impetus to the mining industry of Arizona, and all deplrt- ments of trade and mechanical industry in San Francisco felt the beneficial results of the means of rapid, cheapened transporta- ton afforded by this road, 10 field known to be specially rich in gold, silver, and cop per, hitherto placed beyond utilization by the peculiarly expensive and disagreeable means of approach. By this time, We doubt not. rails are laid to a point at lesst 100 nIles eastward beyond Yuma A l. te re- port from that place also says that recently a contract has been let for the construction of the rOad-bed to the distance of 400 miles, or to the boundary line of Arizona aad New Mexico. toward which Inc AiehisJn and To- peka Railroad ,nouTished by Boston capital, Is pressing with kinored energy and enter prise. Thus 1t wou seem, continental highway from the Atlantic to the Pacific, IS being rapidly built upon nearly the true, shortest line practicabie; o1e removed from the ice and snUws which Deset the more northern roads. IL Is noteworthy that New York, the financial centre of the country has had no share in the grand undertaking
 while its journalism has noisily underrated or Lelittled the importance, ID fact, ueces sity of such a roauway that would not only bring this ciry in early, immediate commu- nicaiion with the mineral resources of Ari- zona, but wouin speedily secure near raiIsay approach to a market for our man ufactured products in northern Mexico, tC the eItent of ten dollars, or more, 10 one dollar now enjoyed with all that Republic Mining Record

This gentleman, if we may be excused for the term. sends us the following reply to a request made on him for settlement of hls bill with the MINER, for publishing his card since June 1877:
 c. W. BEACH,
 lREscorT, A. T.
 You will get pay for one year if ordered my card in June 1871, and you w1n have to show order. H. x. ALEXANDER YUMA, JArch 22nd, 1879.
 This bilk and robber of highwaymen, Las more cheek than is unusually encountered in his kind He wrote us an ordinary letter June 1877, desiring his card inserted in the MINER. Ills desire in that respect was complied with, and his letter, like thousands of otaers, was consigned 10 the flames He now asks Us to produce his order Sharp practice on the part of this hireling who robbed Vance and Berry, the stage robbers, of the fec they gave him for defending them. We shall now feel it our duty, since we have advertised this Aiack gratuitously for nearly two years, to keen up our lick and guarantee him free ad- ver;isement each week until our bill is paid. or until the Dick Turpin Uf Yuma is satis- fed with gratuitous notices.

PRESCOTT FOUNDRY.

One of the most essential and noteworthy institutions in Arizona, is the Prescott Foundry of the Brown, Bros These gentle men commenced the erection of their foun- dry over one year ago, under very unfavor- able circumstances. At that time there were but few quartz mills running, conse- quently orders for casting from that source were few. They were strangers to our people and their ability to furnish all kinds of castings was not known. However, they erected an extensive building. put machinery into if and went to work. They have prOs- pered beyond expectation, and are, to-day, manufacturing almost everything needed m Arizona. We called at their place Of busi- ness yesterday and found them busy making a pattern for retort, for the Peck Co l, which they intend to cast on Tuesday next, thatwill weigh l,2OO pounds. This of it. self goes 10 show that they arc capable of manufacturing something larger than a Jews-harp or a garden rake. We noticed a large quantity of quartz mill castings ai their foundry, in the shape of cams, tap pets, shoes, dies, fy-wbeels, etc. This foundry, which Is local institution, is 8 valuable acquisition to Prescott, and should be patron.zed liberally by our mil men, farmers and others who need anything in the iron line. They have about 100000 pounds of old iron on hand which they are daily running into useful articles. The Messrs. Brown, Bros deserve to become wealthy for their energy, euterprisIng spirit and far dealing. IL is to be hoped that they may prosper to suen degree that finally they may be justified in enlarging tneir establishment and commence the manufacture of mammoth engines for rail- ways, quartz mills. etc.

SALT EIvnK RESERVATION.
sovernor Fremont Heard From


 Mir. Frank P. Fremont, Secretary 10 the Governor, is in rcceipt of a letter from his
 sther, in which he says:
 ss'The large reservation some weeks ago set apart for the Pimas, will be withdrawn and restricted temporarily, 10 the smaller one at the mouth of the Verde river, some ten miles farther up Salt River from where they are now located This is the same place that we recommended in the MINER, two months ago, be set apart for these Indi- aus. The ground will be remembered by those who are familiar with the country, near the confluence of the Verde with Salt River, as that formerly claimed by Wm. Rowe, deceased. It is very desirable To- cation and will make a good reservation for these greedy people. Again, it Is so located that iu travelling from the old Tes- ervation on the Gila, to the new reservation, they will not be compelled to pass over the fields of farmers living in the Tempe set tlement, as is HOW the case. The Tucson Citizen will undoubtedly feel sad over Coy. Fremont's success, Es it has evinced a dis position to throw cold water on the Gen erals mission from the start. lfany person could have more influence over the Presi- dent than another, we believe that person to be General Fremont

Letter From Camp Grant.-Riea Mines. Etc.

ED. MINER:-
 IL would be the height of folly to endeav- or to enumerate the quantity and quality of mines in the mountains, known as the Two Mems Heads. It is highly pleasing 10 know that Pat. Casey makes every pound of rock pay, as he takes it from the shaft. This lead is direct incline, consequently no need for windlass, as the rock is brought to the top by means of the wheeibarrow. The next in order-the Ewell Spring miue owned by Norton & Stewart, Post traders at Camp Grant, and Capt. Madden of the 9th Cavalry. This company are energitically sinking shaft which is assuming vast proportions: the real wealth contained in this mine is beyond conjecture-your cor correspondent had the plesure of handling a cigar box half full, of nearly pure silver taken out of a seam, and so it is all through the shaft, to the depth or 20 frel. The shaft is running nearly perpendicular. IL is only a matter of time when developments will show this to be one of tine greatest mines in the district. The town is growing fast at Ewell Spring. There are at present, in the Camp, some 5000 people. Martin E. Smith has expressed the opinion that this is the richest district in the Territory-more anon.

 Henry Moore, with his packets full of Miners to read and re-rcad for cOmUany, and Cougar, that good old q z, to stand picket on the way, left the mountains this morning bound for Texas. MT. Moore's tip to Texas is to buy cattle to drive 10 the White Mountains in Arizona. MT Moore is from Gravel Hill Tennessee; be went East when but boy as travelling agent fer a seed house but soon found that there was no money in the seed business, as the saed seldom came up by pay day. So while travelling in Texas he became interested in the cattle business, enchanted by the wild country, the freedom and excitement, as well ar rhe money it brings, he adopted the fife of the herder and will ho doubt Tn few years be one of the wealthy cattle men of Arizona. He has now given up Texas with her wide Buffalo ranges and extensive plains for the sheltered mountain parks and fertile pastures of our Territory. Har- " says that he finds unlimited range of good grass and 6 new bed of prairle blos- sons every night TOT hIs cattle in Arizona. What more could tbe most fastidious desiiei And more than this he knows that with the extension of our railroads tn the booths of all the Western cities Arizona will gather in ner lap ,he treasures Kno~n to no other section of the Pacific Slope. But her sur rounding hills and wide prairies are wealth enough for h9r as it is, for the yiel d of gold aud silver is very flatterng. C.

Ex-SeDator Sargent.

Washington papers and felegrams speak m glowing terms of Californias retiring Senator, Aaron Sargent. No Representative from the Pacific coast, in either House of Congress, has labored with SO much earn estness, honesty. zeal and ability for the benefit of hls constituents as has Aaron Sar gent, both as Representative and Senator. These facts have been recognized as well in Washington and throughout the East as here upon the Pacific, hence, we are told in recent dispatches, that upon taking leave of his friends in Washington, the hand shskinging was more cordial, and ex- pressed depth of feeling quite unusual at political separations. Senator Sargents long and arduous labors Tn the Halls Of Legislation have broken him down in physical health Co such a degree that he fnds it necessary before returning to his home and business, to take sea voyage or several months to recupeFate his wasted body. Secretary Thompson, of the Navy, has kindly teuderrd him and Mrs. Sargent. passagc and accommodations on board a Man of War in which 10 cruise about the West Indies and down the Southern Atlan- 7 .. duriuo the summer, waen upon their
