The Road 10 Globe,

About a week ago Messrs. Samanie go and Block started out from Tucson to inspect the new road 10 Globe, and as our citizens have taken a lively in terest in that road we give the follow. ing report of the road viewers, which we clip from the Belt:
 Messrs. Samaniego and Block are here from Tucson as commissioner and viewer of the Tucson and Globe road.
 They represent the work as incomplete and that it will probably be in con dition to accept by the 18th of De cember. The work now being done is on the old Florence and Globe road, northeast of where the Tucson road intersects it. There is another gang of men at work on the Gila between Disappointment Valley and the junc- tion of the san Pedro with the Gila. When this road is finished it will be a good practicable route, ana the dis lance will be about l15 miles from Globe to Tucson. The road intersects the Putnam road about B miles from Globe. Inasmuch as objections have been made against this route on ac count of its crossing the river so often, these gentleman give it as their opin ion that it is more preferable than pulling up the hills. especially the Dripping Spring hill. Mir. Samaniego one Of the commissioners, pledges that the board of commissioners will make the road as good as possible. so that there will be no trouble about freight ing. A petition has been forwarded 10 Washington asking for daily mail service over this route, and we trust it may be allO Aed, as it will be of vast benefit to the public. Upon the com pleiion of the railroad to Tucson, it is highly probable that Il line of coaches will be run on this road between that place and Globe.

It was through this influence that Mr. Laramore paid S9O,OOO in cash for the Swisshelm claims in eastern Arizona, and the Va. rious benefits accruing to Grant county through the operations al Shakespeare and elsewhere cannot help having a very beneficial effect upon the mining interests of Pima county.

MaJ Robbers 70 New Mexico.

Robbing the United States mail has occurred too often lately. The hind boot was robbed few miles above Fort Selden, then last week. the mail coming from the west was stopped, the mail sack taken of, cut open and robbed of all registered and valuable letters: other letters were torn open and left. The mail was gathered up and brought on to Mesilla in a bad condition. We saw one check for $500 torn into three pieces and an- other for S5OO torn in two pieces
 Last Wednesday, COpel'nd, buck board driver, was stopped few miles north of Fort Selden by q man drop ping a pistol on him and asked II he had any arms. Copeland said no; then the rohber said, which is the Santa Fe brass lock bag. c. showed him which i, was. Still keeping the pistol point ing at Copeland's head he took the sack and told c. to drive on fast. He did. The sack was found badly cut but no mall matter.

Indian TaK

Eskiminzin, the old San Carlos chief, is again in town on visit. He made an early call on the editor of
 THE CITIZEN and inquired after the financial market He had some green backs to sell. and seemed quite disap- pointed when he found they were only worth five per cent. We accompanied him to the Pima County Bank and made satisfactory exchange. Skinny reports things o. K. on the San Pedro, but complains of being required 10 report at the San Carlos Agency every five days. He says this occu. pies most of his time going and com ing and he has very little time to work
 1T such are the requirements of the present administration it seems to us very unreasonable and unjust. These Indians have gone to the San Pedro 10 endcavor 10 make themselves self supp rting, and they should be encour- aged by every means possible and not required 10 travel forty-five miles every five days over rough trail to report to the Agency. If they can not be trusted longer period than that better not let them 20 at all. But we feel certain that if Indians like Eskim. inzin and Sagully were only required to report every thirty days they would be benefited and no one harmed Cau- tion is very good, but when Indians show disposition to cultivate and i'm
 prove lands for their own support they should in no way be discouraged. The conduct of the Indians on the San Pe- drO during the past two years is suffi- cient evidence of their docile and in
 dustrious disposition. When the Globe Road Commissioners passed Eskimir- gins rancbe on their way to the GilaI they found Skinny hard at work on al new irrigating ditch. The neighbors speak well of him, and it is to be hoped the agent or acting agent al San Carlos will not make any severe regu- lalions that will interfere with his progress in civilized pursuits.

AYeraae Weiqht.

A Prussian of an inquiring turn of mind has been trying to average the weight of people. The average shows that citizen of the world on the first day of his appearance in public weighs about six pounds and half-a boy baby little more, d girl-baby little less. Some very modest babies scarce ly turn the scale with two pounds and d half, while other pretenliOus young sters boast of ten an eleven pounds. He grouped his thousands of people according to ages, and found that the young men of twenty averaged l43 pounds each, while the young women of twenty averaged 12O pounds. His men reached their heaviest bulk at about thirty five, when their average weight is l52 pounds; but the women slowly grew on until fifty, when their average weight was 129 pounds. Men and women together, the weight at full growth averaged almost exactly 40 pounds.
