Congress: Well Douef

Congress yesterday brought its wear.
 some labor 10 close, and the members i of that overworked institution are now
 vending their respective ways homeward | in search of 2 much-nceded rest. which the country at large will certainly not
 begrndge them. Congress has presuma. ply been in session nineteen days. but a statistical sharp Dat Washington sends
 ns inc important information that the
 Stnate actually met on thirteen days and f the House of Representatives on fourteen days. The Senate devoted exactly twenty
 hours and thry-siX minutes to business.
 ar an average Of one hour and twelve l minutes for each working day. The House of Representatives worked much harder than the Scratc, and consumed by
 actual measurements thirty five hours and
 four minutes, or two hours and thirty
 minutes pc. day, with additional four
 minutes for an extra long sitting.
 Such close application to busiHess has served 10 demonstrate the truth of the old adage. that "all work and no play makes Jack ii dull boy" The very short vaca ton which Congress has granted 10 it. Seif-and Olly after the most urgent solicitation of d large portion of its con. stituent>-may serve 10 brighten up the intellects of the members. It is to be feared, however, that ;hc rest which they will fake will oc too short by many years to effect this result. While most people
 will conccde the fact that Congress-tO say nofh'ng of the ceuntry-nceded q
 rest, yc her are sOme une-sided critics
 who may >oiilOquzc: If it was so soon 10
 he done for, wat was it then begun for :: To satisfy snch people, we give the fol
 lowing summary of the work done by
 Congress; During the twenty hours and
 thirty-siX minutes in which the Senate was at work, POO bills and resolutions
 were introduced, aad 200 petitions pre-
 sented; a bill and petition every six
 minutes. In thirty-five hours and four
 minutes there were 700 bills and resolu-
 tionS and 300 lelitions presented in lhe House; a bill every three minutes and q
 petition every four minutes. If Congress-
 had worked ten hours each day of the
 >esenteen working days of the session,
 the flood of bills, resolutions and petitions | would have been 100 formidable to con-
 template without trembling. In the Sen ate there would have been 1.7U0 bills and resolutions and as many petitions pre- sented. In the House of Representatives l there would have been 3,40U bills and resolutions, and 2,540 petitions present ed.
 We are not disposed to criticise the decisioh of Congress to adjourn.

A correspondent of the |" Pho

A correspondent of the " Ph9 nix Herald," from Florence, re- ports some discoveries twe'v, mines from that town, called Mineral Hill. They are said tc be surprisingly rich. In the Finch mine al a depth of sixty four feet a body of ore was struck five feet wide which assays from $500 to $3,000 per ton in silver. Finch has been offered and refus ed S50,000 in cash for the mine. There are over fifty men in the camp and men are scarce in Florence. Major Bald win wanted some men to drive his teams but after offering S100 per month Was compelled to leave his tetms and go to Globe for teamsters. We hote these statements are correct. and that these mines will prove another source of wealth for Pinal County.

People are crowdIng and settling up all the available agricul tural an ! grazin. land. The crops have been excellent, especially the vegetable crop.

xTUFD1Y, JANUARY 3, 1880.

of Arizona Tor me year lo|J. IL Is pamphlet of hut nine pages, but contains much Information so concisely imparted that even the figures snd statistics cease to be the dry reading such matters usually are.
 Arizona contains about 73,000.. GOO acres of land, 5.000,000 of which are surveyed. Conserva- tive estimates place ihe present population, exclusive of Indians, at from 3O,OO0 to 33,OO0 with Il steady and rapid increase.
 There are ihree marked divi- sinns of surface land, valleys, mountains. and mesa or table lands; theIr areas rating in the order named. or the valleys most known, this Report gives a short description of the Gila, about 400 miles in length and in Latitude 33, extending east and west; the Salt River, about 60 miles long by from to 20 wide, we'll furnished with timber and agricultural land and it is properly termed the "grapary of Arizona;"
 The Little Colorado, about 10i nlles in length by 5 Tn width; inc Verde, l35 miles long, forms ajunction with Salt River Val ley.
 There are many other smaller
 leys north of the Gi!a river,
 'kl .nd, Skull, Dlte Creek, Williamson, Big and Little Chl- no, Agua Fria, Hassayampa, Big Sandy, Williams Fork etc.
 South of Gila, are San Simon, Sulphur Spring, San Pedro, Sonc- ita. Babacomori, Santa Cruz, Cie mega, Arivaca, Arivaipa, etc., The San Simon is over 100 miles long; San Pedro has about 150 miles in Arizona; Santa Cruz also extends from Sonora over 100 miles into the Territory; The largest of ail is the Colorado, stretching along our whole west efn boundary, with hundreds of thousands of arahle and rich lands when irrigated. especially is this the case in the vicinity of Yuma, both above and below.
 The mountainous portion of Arizona abounds in excellen, grazing ranges where stock fat ten the year round. Nearly all kinds of commercial timber are found. There are no long, well defined mountain ranges. al- though inc Various broken parts might be treated as ranges, and for local purp pses have distinct. i've names. The surface of Ari- zDna is succession of buttt,s aud mountains, with extended table, land, and narrow. rich valley land between.
 These mountains abound in gold, silver, lead, copper, iron and other minerals and though often uninviting in appearance, yet, estimated in dollars, are of the greatest worth, and for centuries, perhaps forever, they will be peopled by many thriving cities, towns, and smaller settlements. reaplng ahove the average re- ward for their industry.
 The mesa-land is principally valuable for stock growing, and its worth for this purpose iS much diminished for important reasons, which Congress should remove; Congress has forbidden its survey out of current apprn priaiions for public surveys, and title can he obtained to hut I60 acres, and then, only after advanc- ing money for expensive surveys of all townships on which the tract may lie, as well as connect ing lines with existing surveys.

so great that his unucky expedition does

Last evening there was meeting Of the COM

funds obtained In connection with the Blake
concert OF last week for the benefit OF the Irish
relief fund. All the returns were not In, but
upwards Of 5000 were reported. with about $500
more In prospect. Various opinions we're en-
tertained as TO the manner In which the money
should be bestowed. and after thorough can
vass Of all the methods OF distribution. 1t was
unanimously carried that the funds abould be
sent through, the house Of Anderson slmp.

prevails.
The meeting then adjourned until Saturday
evening, by which tj,ue 4 js hoped all out
standing moneys will be collected.
A motion had been made to forward the
money through the DEMOCRAT to the Hera'd
fund. rs ii had been the first mover in the
Efforts for the relief Of stricken Ireland, and
contributed the initiative $500, which had
