OF GREAT VALUE.
immediate Action Called for
 in Rosd Building.
The Giiis1t- and Bradshaw
 cssty liagoa aasd.

ED. HERALD: As matter of Ter
 ritorial interest and benefit, 1 woult
 like to call your attention to the Gil
 lette and Bradshaw City road, or a, least to the appropriation made by the last Legislature fer the building oi that road.
 You are undoubtedly aware of the l provisions of the Act and the bene. fits to be derived from its fulfllment. The bonds have been issued and signed by the Auditor and Governor, and report states thai they have been sold to Messrs. Sutro & Co of San Francisco for 8 or 90 cents on ike dollar. Ifso, there, is now in the hands of Mr. Rowe CT inc Comfnis sioners lone Of whom ! understand resides in your place. between $16,- Ooe and S1S,0O0.
 It is now September, and if the road is to be built this winter, is It not time to hear from some of the Commissioners The road to Phe- nix is of great value, much more than to this place. A road direct to the Tiger mine would be the main travel ed line of Central Arizona. Upon the completion of the road to Brad shaw city, there would be but threc miles of road to build to connect with the Peck road, and give a through route from Fhenix via Gillett, Tip Top, Bradshaw city, Bradshaw Basin and Peck mine to Prescott.
 It is the most central and direct line and would enable 8Iaricopa to furnish these mining camps with direct and quick communication.
 You have no doubt seen two or three articles in the Miner from par ties who offer to build the road through for the amount of money that has been realized by the sale of bonds. Now if the road can be built for the money authorized and you and I are to share our burden of the taxation to maintain the interest Snd provide fund for the future redemp- tion of the bonds, why let us see that tho road is put through. It eau be built by contract and paid for in sec tions, 50 that no risk may be taken by the Commissioners. It interests yoU and every one of your people, ! and I trust that you will take the matter in hand and talk it up and | keep pounding away till the contract is let x

A wA0=E COURSE


 In several of the papers published in the Eastern States, devoted to the
 mining industries of this Coast ad vertisements appear of mines in va Eious portions of Arizona, whose stock is for sale. The mine is paint. ed in glowing color7, It is represent cd as the richest mine in the world 1; it's width variea from forty 10 sixty feet, and all good pay ore. The an nouncement is made that the stock is ftrever inaccessible, and that diYi- deHds will be in order. etc., etc. Such pufery of mines is an injury to the Territory. h many cases these mines that are so advertised are -loca- ted only in the minds of these swird- lcrs, they having neyer been in the Territory Such giari1g accounts of the wonderful richness Of these mines leads many 70 invest. and the result is ruin, not only 10 the buyer. but to thousands of others who own good mines, but who lack capital for their proper development. Arizona has been misrcpresentod in her mines ever since the first one was located. Worthless mines have been boosted up and sold, until capitalists hesitat- cd to handle them But during the Past year, a remarkable showing has been made in the mines of this country, and the result has been to our good. Capitalists have gained confidence and the miner and pros pector has been revived with new life. Arizona contains someof the richest mines the world nas ever seen, and Al that is needed is capital and judiciops managca ent 70 develop them, and bring them before the peo- 3le as genuine mines, yielding their quota of bullion, and adding to thc wealth of the country in general. In times like the present, when there is large influx of eastern capital for mining purposes, a mine of no real worth, in fact not yet located, is put before the reader of newspaper with the sole idea of enriching the pockets of the selfconstituted Board of Direc- tors, President, etc Such advertise mcnts were q dctriment to Nevada, ] aud it was manJ years before she re- covered from the blow It behooves 1 every person to ascertain for himself ] the truth of inc assertions SO printed !! and not invest his money lR every scheme that promises so large divi- dends in so short time. Such nis- representations are injurious 10 every miner and prospector in this Territo ", and 10 our friends abroad.

 Thinking a few items from. thi. duck pond will be of interest to YOU and my fellow travellers through tii, vale of tears, 1 now sit down to try
 and induce others to come 10 this country. on the ground that misery loves company. I arrived in this God forsaken country on April 1st, and during that month and upto date there has been but few fair days 4 good place for the work ingman. The farmers here wait until everything is 10 bo dcne al once They then hire a man and then watch him and sec that he does three days work in one, and then pay him his one dollar and tells him to git. The fact is few years ago the Government supported these eople by giving them large tracts of land, aad when they got hungry they would sells slice, send to California and buy some bread and meat, so their children have been brought up in idleness and ignorance and venture to say that Oregon can turn out moro hCodlums than any State in the Union. Now MT. Editor I am au old bachelor and if any per son had even insinuated 10 me that there were such things as hood luIn girls, they would have had me to fight, but I give it up, why I have heard the dear creatures offer to back up their judgments, with all the brass jewelry they had that their ''feler could gist outrun any other girls feler in this country"
 The Christian community seem to be getting along first-rate, as they go on their own road and do not associ- ate with their neigh bors, neither here or hereafter, so it is my opinion that Surveyors will have pleuty of work to do in the next world, as the good Christians here have expressed a determination to have their part of Heaven surveyed, as soon as tn v arrive there, so they can prevent Bro. Smith and Bro. Jones from set ting their feet thereon. Now to all who wish to come to this delecta ble country, come, for hundreds arc ready to leave it, and you ean fill heir places, where you can get ons lays work in twenty, and get one pig della for it. The land sharks who have induced so n any poor peo- pie to wade into this country, ought i o be hung higher than Gilderny's ! kite. s.

The Chicago Tribune states that a donation party at which six farm ers were to contribute 8 jug of milk apiece, one mana very mean man, Jake Mason-thought it would not make any difference if he contri buted water in place of milk; so he filled his jug with water and took it to the donation When he got there, he turned it over the bung and it ran into barrel where all the other farmers had poured their milk. Now what do you think was the result? Why, everyone of the six farmers happened to be as mean as Jake Ma son. They had all brought water.
