Our RaterieSs and Treeiess Tabie Lands. At request of the Secretary of the
 Interior, United States Surveyor Gen |eral Wasson made a special report on
 Arizona, which has been printed at the Government office at Washington, in pamphlet form, and 300 copies sent
 here for distribution. The report is dated September 24, a copy of which is before Us. The topography of the
 Territory is described in three divis- ions, viz: Valley, Mountain and Mesa. Following is the portion referring to third or Mesa division:
 This division is, in my judgment, the
 largest in area, but least sought for.
 Its principal value is for stock grow
 ing, and its worth for this purpose k much diminished for two important reasons, which Congress can and should remove, viz: For several years past Congress has forbidden its survey out .of current appropriations for public surveys and under existing Legislation
 title can be obtained Co only lGOa acres in .an honest way directly from the govern
 ment, and not to this quantity until
 after the settler advances money to pay for survey to the extent of all the suryeyable land in a township or more. according as township lines may touch
 his claim; and in some instances thls also involves payment for connecting
 lines with existing surveys Much of this table land has productive soil. and but very little of il can be called
 barren, though practically it k for anything but grass and timber for fuel.
 It's elevation k such that irrigation
 from the streams k impracticable as
 rule Under proper legislation the development Ot artCSian water would follow. But valuable aS this land k and may be, under present restrictions. even rich men will not use much of ii in any defined sense, and will improve that just as little as possible to serve present needs. Most ot il has no mar
 kctable value in small tracts. Many miles of it are trecleSS and waterlcSs' but if 1t could be purchased at fair prices m bodies large enough to induce. capitalists to develop water by artesian or other wells, only few years would elapSe ere it would be largely acquir- ed and turned into practical account by development of water. growing of. trees and othervegetation, whose influ- ence for good would extend over the country around, and the poor and rich. alike benefited. IL is idle to hope that these vast areas of pasturage and mesa lands will ever be largely turned 10 practical account, to say nothing of.

 THE news from Shakespeare, \. NJ. continues favorable to that section. r II. Dunn, E-q., returned from there by this mornings overland stage and con tinued right on to Sacramento, having been called thither by a telegram from political friends who say the Senate (which meets next Monday) will elect him Assistant Secretary, a position he held at the session two years ago. He has, however, decided to go into busi ness at Shakespeare, having looked the ground over carefully the work already done, being done and laid out to be done. He says there are now about twenty five occupied houses there and more being built and decided upon. He thinks that the development of that section of interest to this section of Arizona as the overland railway that passes by here will go right over that district. Machinery for reduction works will soon be en route there, and in the nature of things more or less business of that section will be Tn con nection with and to the advantage of traffic in Arizona.

WE learn that the Sunset mine Tombstone, a near neighbor to tine Lucky Gus, Luck Sure and other mines of high note, has been taken by the parties who bonded it some time since, from the locator, T. E. Walker We have before mentioned the excel fence of the Sunset prospect, and arc now glad to express our satisfaction at the course the property is taking. Is future owners will be B. Frank Hall, A. W. Say and other parties Tn the neighbOrhood of Warren, Pennsylva- mia, whom MT. Say represents. These parties all have money at their call. and are experienced in the coal oil and iron industries of their Slate. They will not, therefore, be entirely stran. gers to the kindred business of mining for silver and gold. Mr. Say left for Tombstone this morning, and will get to work on the development of his property as soon as possible.
 The district to which the purchasers of the Sunset belong, is now we'll rep resented in this county. The Grand Central and its South Extension and the Sunset, in Tombstone, are in part or wholly owned there; and quite a number of claims in Arivaca and Orc Blanco, now under the supervision of Captain Alexander, have the same ownership.

do not known which was the sneaker
but on making the request that all who
desired connection with the Presbyterian
Church would take one side Indicating
it, and those the Meth dist Church, the
opposite, no one stirred. 1t was not
until the invitation had been given the
THIRD time, that our elder took the Pres
byterian side, when two thirds, perhaps,
OF those whose resolution had been made
to act out their profession, followed him.
This was the nucleus, we doubt not, of
New Concord church Whilst we do not
know the fact, we incline to the belief
that this venerable elder may have been
one of the first selected in the organiza-
ton of that church He had been an
elder, we think, up to the date of his re-
moval to the county of Albemarle, and
we suppose was at an early day installed
into the same Office in the church near
which he lives. We believe we are cor
rect in saying that in the house he built
referred to, he reared family of nine
sons and one daughter, the majority of
whom were grown perhaps, or nearly so,
and it may be some of them married at
the date of his removal to Albemarle.
