WHAT Is NEEDED.


A line of railway following the route
indicated, crossing the single watershed,
will bring tho city OF Pittsburgh within
100 To 80 miles within reach OF all the
varieties OF iron ore that are required IN
its blast furnaces. These iron ores are
found in sufficient quantities and above
the water levels Of the country, out
cropping in great beds sufficient in guam
tlty To supply all the possible demands
of this great iron manufacturing centre
ior ages to come. The extent, charac-
ter and condition OF these ore deposits,
have been established beyond Contro-
versy. The quantity can he readily seen
by any one who will visit the great
slratidcd beds OF iron ore on the Chesa-
peake and Ohio railroad, near the White
sulphur Springs, then taking the line OF
tue Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad lor
some - miles 10 the eastward.
Ky taking the Chesapeake and ONO
railroad from the same point westward
Tor % miles, following down the Green
hricr To the mouth Of the New river,
then going up that river Tor 50 miles,
this same iron ore belt is again reached
farther To the southwest. BY following
up New river still farther, these three
great iron ore beds, namely, that OF the
Appalachian region first, that Of the
eastern side Ut the Great Valley second,
and that Of the Biue Ridge third, will
each be- crossed successfully by rail-
way that follows the easy grade region
spoken OF. Their quality has been
shown not only by the many analyses
that have recently been made OF them,
but also by the reputation always borne
by the irons manufactured from them
iron that. in small quantities, It is true,
have been manufactured from them.
Tie stated that the existing railroads
reach their fingers in all directions to-
ward Clifton Forge. A company has
been oryanized which is building a fur
mace here that is to cost about 500 coo.
What Pittsburgh needs is to extend the
Pittsburgh Southern road TO that point.
The mines in that region are being rap
lilly developed, and this city could get
her ore cheaply did she but increase her
railway facilities Ii has been shown at
different times that ore is abundant, and

THE SToRM-The snow ceased falling this morning after sunrise, which leaves our village buried in couple of feet of it, with bright sun making war upon it.. It may be some days before we have freight communication with the outside world, although the energy of the mail contractors will dou uotless be exerted to the utmost to bring through early mails. This is the second great snow storm of this winter, and the deepest in sixteen years, according to the oldest inhabitants. Its value to our Territory can not be counted in money; it is simply incalcu- lable. Tormented as we have been by years of exasDerating draught, it seems as though, the heavens had at last taken pity on us. Never were white flakes of congealed water so welcome to any coun- try! The coming year will see activity in every mineral district in Northern Ar izona. Ths husbandmen in our fertile valleys will cultivate with confident hope of large returns. The coming railroad will add to our prosperity, and we trust that AriZona's worst days are over-Ari- zona Democrat.

 is turned to us by our party friends in the States. We have the sat isfaction of knowing that several prominent Western Democrats have declared this winter in fa- vor of representation from the Territories in our nominating body; but it is scarcely worth while for us to hold Territorial Convention, and choose dele gates, while our rights are not recognized at least by the Stand ing Committee, since, for lack of it. our men will not be allowed to take seats-except, perhaps, com- plimentary ones, ups in the gal leries."
 That's cool, fresh, dignified and sound-unexceptionably pleasant, coming from partizan opponent. Besides which, it proves that the Republican party in its organiza- tion is one of progress-comes down to the people, even in a Territory, and permits them, as creatures of the National Govern ment. to have a voice in the se- lection of their Chief. This idea is just forty.five years ahead; just the distance between the two machines. If nothing breaks, the gap will be wider at the close of the year. The fairness of views expressed in the article quoted would indicate a leader that we could cheerfully follow -if a Democrat,

COUNTY ROADS.

Some time ago petition was presented to the Board of Super vIsnrs, asking aid of the county to open a road from Castle Dome Landing to Silver District. The Board employed the services of Geo. w. Norton Esq, whose thorough knowledge of this kind of business made him a most fit selection. He viewed the pro- posed route and made due report, with his estimates of cost, basing his calculation upon opening a road to permit an eight mule freight-wagon to pass with safety. To perform a piece of work of this character, and perform it well, naturally requires money.
 The Board after due considera. tion determined that it would be adding to our already large in- debtedness, without, perhaps, ad- equate return. We have no dis position to criticise their judg- ment. Since tbat time, matters have changed very materially. The developments made in the Silver District now warrant road connection with this place. A road should be opened at once, enabling a stage and other light vehicles to go and come with ease and safety. By these means parties who come from abroad to visit the mines are at once reliev- ed of the incOnVeniences attend ing the present mode of travel. Men with cash in their pocket prefer to ride in ''chaises'' and those who can't, must walk, by J-s. It's the riding class we want at present. We understand that subscription list has been opened for the purpose of com- menciBg this work, and that it has been numerously slgned, with liberal donations. Now let the Board hold a special session; order the work done; provide for payment by issue of scrip, to be taken at par by the donators. In. vest thousand to fifteen hundred dollars, and give an opportunity to some one here to have two or three good teams on hand, to take people into the District, comfortably. There is local busi- ness enough already to keep this thing going, equal to expenses, and once established will soon pay. Moderate fares, and req sonable charges for packages and light freight, ought to secure a successful trip.

MINES sc. IN THE VICINITY.

At Cargo MuchachO prospect ing goes on uninterruptedly without any other evidence being developed than that the country is to become one Of unusual im- portance. The daily deliveries to the Yuina mill are steady as clock work, the mill likewise. In a few days more the additional stamps recently placed will begin to operate.
 Fl Rio begins to assume the ap. pearance ofa village; and though it draws some of our people away, it is not so far off as to prevent them going and coming frequent Iy-five or six miles is an appeti- ger in this clear air.
 Tho negotiations to which we made reference concerning the Picacho property appears to have fallen through, and this week it has been visited by Hon. Judge Silent and Capt. c. w. O. Rowell. The fact is that the property is large and very valuable, and big figures are not always reached in a day, by either party to the sale. We apprehend that if the propri- etor gets his figures he'll sell. and if he can't, he won't.
 From Silver District the ac- counts come glowing with health. An outside interest in the mines of the District is clearly percepti- ble; and though everything is moving slowly in the proper di- rection, still miners are apt to be impatient. But they must bea in min l that they are only four miles from water power and 8 navigable stream.

"ABOUT PRESIDENTIAL DELE.
 GATES.'

The above quotation is taken from the Arizona "Democratn of the 29th ult., occupying nearly a column of leader, based upon "a call to the Democracy of Pima county to meet in Convention on the 2d of February, for the pur- pose of electing two members of the County Central Committee. And that 1t is intended among Oth fr things to lead to a choice of Delegates to the Democratic Pres idential Convention"
 The Democrat says: "With all deference we think this purpose is unwarranted by the language of the call and is not in confOrmi- ty with the usages of the party.
 ''DpmOcratic Presidential Con. ventions have been held since 1885. Not one of them has ever yet admitted delegate from a TerritOry to either voice or vote. The ans wer to applications has in varIably been that, as the Consti- tuition gives no Electoral votes to the Territories, they have no bus iness to participate in nominations. And yet, Massachusetts, Rhode Island. Minnesota and other Re- publican States, which cannot by any possibility give vote to q Democratic candidate, are allowed full delegations! There is grave inconsistency in all this; but it is ''the usage of the party" and il will be quite useless for the Dem ocrats of Pima county, or for the Democrats of all Arizona to send delegates, who would only be snubbed and sent,home.
