over long fill of some 24,OOC cubic yards; this big work was done in three days. and its rapid completion reflects great credit on Chief Strobridge's skill in handling his forces. As far as New Mission the train had gone carefully. From there to town the track had been ballasted, and MT. Mar tin "let her out;" on come tangents@at- taining 8 speed of over twenty miles an hour. Sitting on top of box-car we ex- perienced little jolting and found no diff culty in writing with pencil. Between Rattlesnake and Descanso the road is an unusually crooked one, curve following curve in constant succession and giving our long train of thirty y-five cars the ap- pearance of a huge serpent gliding through the low hills. About three miles east of the old Oroville ruin we came up to the pile driver and its gang of carpenters, which is replacing temporary crib-work with substantial bridges whose faring and slipping ends are heavily planked. From there to Yuma the bridging has all been finished The pile driver train runs down to its side track at Oroville, to let the sup. ply train pass.
 At Gila City Station the road passes just to the north of the corral. Here we passed ponahee's gang Of carpenters and the Chi nese gang that puts the final touches on the road. Along here we could note the shattering effects of heavy blasts of pow der, 300 to 400 pounds ha7ing been fre- quently used in a single charge, to break up the tough cement of the hills. Nearing Yuma we were surprised at the accumula- ton of material made at the yard during the past month. Further inquiry devel, oped the fact that some 2000O0 ties and twelve miles of rails have been gathered here, besides supplying all demands of construction.
 The run to Yuma WAS made in one hour and forty minutes, including delays caused by waiting for the pile driver train to get out of our way, and by picking up lot oi empty flats which had gone out loaded with bridge timbers.
 The rapid progress made over the diff cult country between here and Gila, justi, ties Col Strobridge's assertion that he can, if required, lay the track over the com paratively easy country between Glla and Maricopa Wells by April 1st, with his present force. He does not now expect to consume over four months in doing that in any event.

WE have the following from Q lady lately from Quitovaca in Sonora: The Indians in that neighborhood (Papagos) have for many years celebrated the catholic festival of Corpus Christi, which usually comes in June; they have what they say is the custodia (casket or reliquary in which the Host is exhibited for venera- tion) which formerly belonged to the Mission church at Yuma and which was carried off when the church was pillaged and the Jesuit fathers murdered here; this, with some gold bequeathed the tribe by an old and venerated chief, Pila, is wrapped in buckskins. Whatever it may contain this packet is zealously guarded and kept during the year up in the mountains. In June it is brought down, an altar made and two squaws, one on each side, placed to guard it; the Papagos assemble from all sides, the Gila, Tubutam, Colorado, Pitiquito; etc., and festivities are kept up for several days. Each family brings coras or baskets of wheat, corn and other provisions for which finally races are run procession daily makes its way through the village bearing large shield on which are painted the sun, stars and other svr,l,nis.

Some people appear to consider notcrl- ety equal to fame.
 It is rumored that the headquarters of the Military Department now in Prescott, Arizona, are to be removed to Tucson.
 Some of our co:emporaries appear to labor under the delusion that the public cares as much about their petty squabbles as to read the news.
 James Gordon Bennett's yacht Jeannette which is to attach the American flag to the North Pole, is lying at the Mare Island Navy Yard. where she will undergo re- pairs for her adventurous voyage. She was thoroughly repaired at London before sailing for thIs country, and is in good condition. Captain DeLong will go East in about two weeks. The scientific party which is to accompany the vessel has not arrived on this coast. The Jeannette will probably start on her arctic trip early next June.
 The Steamer Grattaad arrived yesterday from Mazatlan and way ports. From a per son who arrived on the steamer we obtain the following interesting news: AS the Granada was leaving Mazatlan, bound north. news was received of a severe battle beween the forces of the Clerical Chief Lerma and the national troops under Gen. Escudero, the military commander at Guadalajara. Lerma with his Indians had captured the town of Topic, in the name of the Clerical party; and there held high carnival for few days. He also held the road leading from Topic to the seaport of San Blas Upon the news coming Of the advance of Escudero, Lerma marched out to meet him but was totally defeated and most of his adherents captured, of whom eighty were immediately hanged on the road to San Bias. The balance ot those captured, claiming to have been forced into the rebel service, were allowed to go to their homes.
 GOVERNOR FREMONT is winning golden opinions from the people of Arizona. His activity since assuming his duties has been very remarkable. Besides gaining investigation, combined with his previous extensive knowledge obtained as an eX- plorer, the means of forwarding valua- hle report for the Interior Department on the character and resources of the ter ritory, the Pathfinder has made number of journeys, visiting and examining tie con- dition of various Indian tribes, with a view of learning their wants and how best to insure peace between them and the whites. Considering General Fremonts age; his activity and powers of endurance are remarkable. They are not exceeded by the display of such qualities made in his earlier manhood. We learn that the 1 General will soon make an extended trip to the Gila valley and south thereof as far as the Sonora frontier. It is for tunate thing for Arizona to have as Governor man of the great reputation, energy and ability of John c. Fremont.

THE New York Sun says that Edison

THE New York Sun says that Edison's subdivision of electric light is perfect, and it's utility an accomplished fact, and now that inventor is at work upon new generating machine. Already he has per fected a meter for light, and doubled the productive power of the Wallace machine. As g comparative statement of the cost of the rev light, the Sun says that it costs in Booths Theater thirty dollars to burn fifteen hundred gas jets three hours and a half. For the same number of Edison's electrlc jets during the same time, the cost would be four dollars and sixty cents.

A Rich Corner of Ar1xona.

The SENTINEL editor has just returned from a trip Of several weeks through southeastern Ari- zona, during which he visited number of the new mining dls- tricts which are bringing our Ters ritory prominently before the public. It is a part of the country with which he has long been tolerably familiar: but nothing that has been said or written about 1t had prepared him for realizing the remarkable increase that has taken place during the past year in its population, in oc. cupation of its lands, and in de- velopment of its resources. Two years ago he knew by maine nearly every English-speaking resident of Pima County; two weeks ago he had to search for familiar faces among the throngs of newcomers on the streets of Tucson.
 The great number of new stores; the enormous addition of new goods to the stocks of old firms; the crowded condition of hotels and restaurants; and the constant presence of teams un- loading and loading merchandise, indicated, at Tucson, a vigorous prosperity which was fully proved by inspection of the surrounding country. Passing to the south- ward and eastward from Tucson one comes into country Watefed by an average annual rainfall of A inches: these are the figures of the Smithsonian Instltute: the guage at Camp Huachuca showed a fall of 42 inches during three months of the past summer and autumn. Such rains make vegeta- tion and soil anywhere; but mo- where better than they do ID the temperate climate of south eastern Arizona. The military record st Camp Huachuca shows that for the past two years the summer temperature has rarely risen above 85 Fahrenheit; while that of winter seldom falls much below 30. The country may be briefly described as consisting of very long, gradual. grassy slopes between watered valleys and isolated, abrupt, heavily wood- ed and comparatively short ranges of mountains. Its low; timbered hills are like beautiful parks. Clutches disclose deep, rich soil which appears, in that climate, quite as as we'll adapted as that of California for farming without irrigation. The grasses are some what coarse in their luXbriance, and appear better uited to neat stock than to sheep. That the pale of civilization has not long ago included such valuable country is explained by the tenacity with which the Apaches fought for it's possession. Little more than a year has elapsed since that country became ab- solutely safe. Prospectors formed the advance-guard of Christian occupation, and have already discovered mines of immense value. Miners are now being fol- lowed by farmers, stock-men, sawyers and mill-men; imple- ments and machinery are already forming their chief items of freight.
 The foregoing statements out line the basis of Pima County's present and future prosperity; we shall hereafter present them to our readers more in detail.s

The reader will not fail to observe
that while making the measure gen
eral IN It's effect upon all kinds of
labor, and thus obviating the fatal
constitutional objection, this PROPOSE
ton was also comprehensive enough
to meet the objection Of public policy,
SO forcibly presented in the veto mes
sage. Under its provisions there could
be no interference with the rights Of
contract. Upon this point Mr.. Alex
andcr said The amendment | have
proposed does not interfere with the
right Of capital and labor to contract
with each other, and it makes the
order that may be issued in payment
Of labor, buy as much rs would that
much money" And again 1T re-
cognizes the principle that undorlics
our institutions, TO wit: the freedom of
all our people TO make such contracts
a they please, so long a, they do not
interfere with any positive law or the
rights of others. But no law should
be passed, unless based upon the
soundest policy, restricting their right
TO SO contract"
1t will thus be seen that a fair and
reasonable law for the protection of
labor might now be upon the statute
books, had the pretended friends of
the measure before the legislature last
winter been wise in their day" and
and accepted such notifications of
their bill as would have brought it
within the bounds of the fundamental
law Of the commonwealth and Of
sound public policy. With The safety
guard of the Alexander amendment
the act would not have fallen under

Tho Cow Ordinance.

Ma. EDITOR VIII you permit me 20
call the attention Of the citizens Of our
borough 30 an ordinance relative 20 the
impoundiug 81 cattle running at large upon
the streets between the hours Of 7P. ".
and 4. NJ. First, as to the object Of the
ordinance was told that II va 70 pre-
vent 8 certain class Of cows from breaking
into gardens, yards, sc. Ii cannot be de-
MED that there arc cows that break into
these places, and sometimes do great dam.
age But how will the ordinance compcn.
saic those who meet with losses in this
way. Tho ordinance does not seem 90
benefit those who lose by trcspas.ing cattle.
Ii seems only s. benefit the one who hunts
them ~ snd collects the two dollars. This
ordinance is dead letter a. TO compcnsat-
ing the pact, prcson, or future losses Of in
diyiduals by these irespassing cattle.
Docs not the law afford a rer-cdy
against these kind Of losses Yes, but one
says, in moo; cases the parties are too poor
10 pay damages, and consequently they
can do nothing with them. Bot, under
this ordinance, they will either keep their
cows in a; night, or pay their two dollars
10 get them on; Of the pound, IL caught and
put there. Suppose this TO be true, is II
right that you should be compelled TO pay
for The damage that anoiher's COW docs to
your ncighbor? To illustrate Suppose
there are ten bad or trespassing cows in
this borough, and two hundred and fly
good or non-trespassing ones and out Of
this last number sixty belong 10 those who
receive their greatest comforts, and largcs,
family supplies, from this source, and can
III afford 90 pay two dollars for the taking
up Of their cows, that have never done
any harm or damage, save that they are
fve or more minutes too late in getting
home-are these the ones that must pay
for bad or trespAssing cows Or is 1t right
that any one, rich or poor, should pay any
sum to &c; his COW out Of pound when she
has committed no wrong TO any one1 1t
Is a we'll known fact, that IL every one
were able and disposed 10 get pasture for
his COW, that he could not do 80, simply
because II Is not to be had. Hence his
COW must run at large, and in favorable
season there is abundance Of pAsturagc !:
but this season il is failure, consequently
cattle are often late in coming home---and
I repeat, ia II right or just TO take un. a
COW and collect two dollars, when no
harm is done 10 any one When a COW
does damage 10 aao;her's property, the
owner Of the COW should pay the loss,
but | cannot see how this ordinance pro.
vides . remedy. Surely two hundred and
iifty persons should not be subject TO a pcn-
atty for the mischief and wrong that ten
others commit The ordinance would not
lack sense II IL said ah cattle found at large
and committing damage AZ aag fsaas acossid
Be iSapossdef and held until The damage, &C.,

tection to the citizens Of this borough, 9TH
