AL Last.

We find thls paragraph in the San Francisco weekly mining review of the San Francisco Alta. The Alta is a good, conservative journal, and while thanking il for the tardy justice, we cannot but remember that para graph like the following would have done much more good a year sooner, at which time it would have contained just as much truth:
 "The rapidly increasing interest being manifested in the Arizon mlncs indicates that many of these mineral propositions will receive places upOn our board lists. It is hardly three years ago that these mines began Co attract attention, and the little be- slowed upon them was of the most common character. lt was 8 hard matter to bring before the people the meri.s Of the Arizona mines. After they became known, two or three hunglirgly-managed properties fail Ing to meet expectations, drove OuI and away from the Territory consId- erable capital which had been gath cred together to be invested init. Il has not been capital SO much iror this State which gave prominence Go the Arizona mine; these mines worked themselves to their present position hy their yield of bullion, and by the dIs- 0urslng of dividends paying hand. interest upon their investments; be sides the expenses Of working them are much lighter than those mines that have attained great depth ir other mineral sections. Arizona ha' attained it's present prominence solely through the merits and productions O it's mines.

On Oklahoma.

Recent advices from Kansas report the colonist5 as in a deplO-able con- Gition. Severe weather has cooled their aTdor. ThIs is out one of many
 of the unlawful attempts of Kansas enthusiasts to uaIaw.uly occupy so- called government land. They began as cary as 1858, when a similar class Of crazy people, without shadow of right, attempted 70 c0lon,ze the Della
 ware Indian Reservation; then fol- lowed similar attempts on the Potta- wotamie, Sac and Fox, and New York Indian Reservations. But the most stupendOus effort of the kind eyer at tempted in that State was their at tempt tO take forcible possession of what was known as the Cherokee Neutral Lands This tract of land comprised 500, ,000 acres of the best land in the State, which was he!d m trust by the United States for the Cherokee Indians, in lieu of $500, 900 which was due them from the United States. Full 20,000 people settled upon these lands before the question of the title was settled. James F. Joy, in behalf of the Missouri River,
 Fort Scott and Gulf Rrilroad Com pany, bought the tract, and the sei- tiers (with a few except Onsl had Co buy the land of the railroad company at from S5 to $10 per acre. There has always been enough seed of the old set left to organize new expeditions, and this on to Oklahoma is but an outgrowth of the old system which has prevailed since the early settle ment of Kansas. They have never sue ceeded in their unlawful attempts to talk e forcible possession of Indian and so-called government land, nor are they likely to in the present instance.

Out of tbe past comes undimmed the face of mother, which was then the low liesl and sweetest face in the wide world; the face of father, who was then the brayest and best; the faces of brother and sister, now, perhaps, alas under the sod. There will be homes tomorrow which will be SO very happy; there will be homes which will be so very sad; there will be homes which are not homes. Ii the ! CITIZEN could feel certain that Tn all !
