 In several of the mining districts, [. s. mineral monuments have been established, and such may be treated as "permanent monuments with which locations can be made by course and distance; the established corner of 2 patented mlne or of public land surveys, would serve to locate by. A natural object may be one of many things, such as living spring; juno ton or we'll known points on roads or streams; mountain peaks or hills gener ally known by name, or capable of be- ing clearly distinguished from others by description in the location notice. Courses and distances to such objects should be approximately accurate, so that stranger could take copy of the notice of location, go upon the groun and, without other help, iden- .tify the claim.

Guaynas Railroad.

The Las Vegas Optic of the 31st ult, interviewed G. M. Patten, agent of the A,chison, Topeka and Santa Fe and San Francisco railroad company, from which we learn that MT. Patten was making preparations to go to Quay mas with force of twenty men to as sist MT. Merely in locating and build ing the road north. Mir. Merely pass ed through this place on Monday of last week en route for Guaymas to su- perintend the construction of the Quay mas road. Up to this date we have been unable to receive any reliable information as to tue route this road will take; but as the managers of the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe road are sagacious business men who are working for the best interests of their enterprise, we cannot believe that they wil overlook the rich harvest to be reaped from the freight and passenger trafic of Arizona. If they should build their road via Fl Paso, they would lose the entire trade of Arizona. Besides, the route from Fl Paso 10 Guaymas is over very rough and con- sequently very expensive route. The route from Tucson is almost as easy as from Tucson to Yuma. There is not much difference in the distance Of the two routes, but the Ar.zOna TO ute would pay, while the Sonora route could not be expected to pay for sever- al years to come Hence, we believe that the "wise men" of this great rans-continental highway will build their road through Arizona and Tue son, but for reasons of their own, they are not at present ready to say where they are going to locate their road.

The Railway Visitnrs. &c

Mention was made in Wednesdays CITIZEN of the arrival of Gov. Stan ford, President Central Pacific; A. N. Towne, General Superintendent Gen. tral Pacific and leased lines (which include the $. P.), and other railway officials. Col. Hewitt, Supt. Southern Division s. P, and Treasurer Smith were of the party. Gen. E. A. Carr, commanding Camp Lowell, took them in carriages to san Xavier and return. Gov. Stanford is decidedly of opinion that the old church should De saved from decay by the Territory. Like most men of extensive travel and close observation, the Governor regards this old building as a wonder of decided interest.
 Both Gov. $. and Superintendent ITowne are pleased with what they saw and heard in general, and admitted they found rather more business than they expected, and of course they made many inquiries as to how developments comp pared with early expectations; the sources of business for their road east ward the prospects, if any, for coal in this section, etc. Gov. s. spoke freely of extending the road eastward by way of San Antonio, Texas. He was lit lt,e Jeff" on our growth of sage brush, i for no we'll informed Arizonan claims that this Territory is at all equal to Nevada, Utah, Idaho and some parts of California, in producing this aromatic shrub, but as grower of cac tus, mesquite, palo verde and other shrubs and timber, it stands head; and as a producer of the precious metals as we'll as some of the inferior ones, Arl- zona is soon to excel any other Of Un- cle Sam's political divisions. The
 proof of this assertion is already n sight. We can5 show variety of ex Icellent desert, but California and Utah
 have superiority in this respect. But in our abundant riches, we are not jealous. We simply and plainly state
 8 few facts.
Arizona citizen., 1880-04-10
A Fact

We don't like to complain Or find fault with the newspapers of San Fran cisco, for their city is like Job, and the papers are kept busy in looking out for the boils-kalloch, Kearney, Cannon, and the ringworm Mrs. Smith-but we think they ought to do justice to their territory. They gush over at the least prospect of an i'm provement on the Comstock, speak with faint praise of Leadville, occa- sionally say 8 good word for Bodie, but leave us most severely out in the cold. It is an undeniable fact that where twenty thousand dollars can be obtained among eastern capitalists for Nevada and California mines, hun. dred thousand may be had with halt the exertion for the development of Arizona mining property. Tomb stone is the only camp in southern Arizona that has at present any mill ing capacity, and each week two aver age mills ship away nearly $6O,OO0, or about $240,O00 month. And there is ore enough in sight in the Conten- tion, Grand Central and Tombstone mines to run half dozen mills for IS
 
 many years. We do not brag over our present and prospective wealth, and all we ask of the press of San Francis co, especially the mining papers, the Exchange and Stock Report, is simple justice. Do not attempt any further to smother our light under your huge assessment basket.

IT is estimated that forty million acres of arid land will be redeemed in Colorado by the proposed artesian wells. There is a large amount of land in Arizona that may be redeemed by artes1an wells. But the cost of bor- ing these wells at present is supposed to be so great that the ordinary farmer or ranchmen do not feel able to make the experiment.; but let the Govern ment once solve the question by two or three practical tests, and we have hundreds of men who are able and willing to go into the business. There are perhaps from two to three hundred thousand acres of land in Pima coun- ty wbich would produce excellent crops. if water could he had.
