a WIDE AWAKE FiRM.

One Of the most enterprising firms
in Northern Arizona, to day, is that
of W. A Rowe & Co. They were
first located at Prescott, when that
city was the principal base of sup
plies for the extensive mining sec
items to the south, but since the ad-
vent Of the railroad they have moved
nearer their field Of operation. Their
present store is now at TIp-To1, with
branches at the Vulture and Peck.
They own large mum Der of mining
being developed, either by them
selves directly or through leases.
Many prospector acknowledges his
Indebtedness to this firm for grub
stake; and many owners of valuable
prospects are only enabled To proceed
with work of development through
assistance rendered. This firm ships
considerable ore to California for re-
duction- During September they

The excitement of election is over
nd everything quiet in this bullion
producing camp. The ten stamp
mill of the Tiptop company is run
ming on full time after a few days
stoppage, to allow clean up to be
made, which resulted in % bars of
bullion, worth about $4,000. For the
size of the mill this is the silver
brick producer in Arizona.
Out of 81 votes polled last Tues
day, 2S were for Stewart, showing
the people are on the right side Of
the question.
NJ. Buriind has built nice resi-

many improvements.
Geo. Curtis is again running his
hotel, and money seems plenty.
At the Tip-Top the absorbing item

THE Phoenix (Arizona) HERALD
ADVOCATES the establishment of manu-
factories in that city, and makes the
remark at IS manufactures that
build up town" At any rate, if
they don't build it. they keep it in
repair. A city may be built up by
mines. as San Francisco has, in great
part, been; but wIreu the mines take
rest, as it were, just as they now
are, thea the city needs something to
keep it going. 1t is at such junctures
that home industries come in nicely.
San Francisco has not looked ahead
in the matter of manufactures, nor
have lis merchants shown any very
great dQgree of enterprise in making
markets in Other States and Terrific
ries for what we produce or manu-
facture. Still, we have reason to
hope that some of our best citizens
are bending their thoughts in this
direction, and that a change in eur
exclusive policy viii be the ultimate
result. California has been almost
Chinese in its vanity and isolation.

which the Daily Stock Report re

probably soon be held, may take
some steps which viii. end the Pre-

COLONIES

The Stockton, one of the ablest
edited of our exchanges of late
date has the following:
"The Phoenix HERALD of a re-
cent date editorially commends the
colenizing system of settling new
countries. and points to the many
advantages possessed by Arizona
for industrious families who are
seeking to build up homes and en-
joy the conveniences and comforts
of civilized life. 1t points to the
success Of the colonizing system in
California, and by way of illustra-
ton points to the German settle
ment at Anaheim, in Los Angeles
eounty;the Central Colony in Fres
no, and others. There are some
extensive valleys in Arizona, with
rich and fertile sol. There are ex-
tensive areas where every thing
raised in a semi-tropical climate
can be produced in abundance. The
journal above mentioned says that
successful experiments have been
made in tie culture Of the coffee
plant, cotton, pineapples, sugar
cane, oranges, lemons and grapes.
Among The Inducements held forth |
for industrious settlers to seek |
homes in that territory, the Phce-
ISx paper says that the railroad |
direct TO st. Lous will be open by |
next Christmas, 1881. New Or
leans will be in direct communica-
ton with the principal settlements
in the Territory. "Grapeg will"
gays the HERALD, ''ripen here from
tive to three weeks earlier than in
California" If this is the case,
there is now fair prospect of the
Eastern markets being continuously
supplied during the Summer and
Fall months with luscious fruit
from the Arizona and California
vineyards, and the demand of our
Eastern neigbbors for production
which has heretofore, in a great
measure, been denied them, viii
stimulate very important industry
on tie Pacific Coast. Railroad
communication between Arizona
and st. Louis wiz not only have
the effect Of encouraging settlement
in the Territory, but viii even work
important changes in trade in cur
own State"

EsaRscceA,s RIGHT.

One of the most important duties
that presents itself for attention by
our delegation in the next Legisla-
ture is the Strengthening of the
northern boundary line of Maricopa
county. Our county is nearly 200
miles wide at its northern part and
the line is perfectly straight on the
34th parallel with the exception of
portion north of Phoenix. A glance
at the map of our Territory shows a
small triangular piece west of the
Aqua Fria and south of the "a paral-
lei is given to Yavapai county, while
east of the Aqua Fria a small tri-
angular piece, north of the 34th par
alIeI is given to Maricopa county
These two odd pieces are about
equal size, the only difference being
that the piece in Yavapai contains
many valuable mines, the town of
Gillett and, we think, Tip-Top mine
and camp. and the triangular piec
given this county is barren. On
recent visit to Gillett and Tip-Top
the editor of the HERALD was in
formed by George Weber, Superin-
tendent of the Tip-Top, and several
business men and large taxpayers
that this change was especially desir-
able and Is petition to that effect
would be quickly signed by every
one in the section interested. Pho
nix as the county seat would be
easier Of access and more desirable
than Prescott. In spirit of flirness
and business We say that that tri-
angular slip belongs to Maricopa
and not to YavapaI, and we are not
running down our northern neighbor
in demanding what is rightfullY
ours. The next Legislature is sure
to take from US the eastern part of
this county for the new county Of
Globe, leaving our county somewhat
abbreviated, so that a section that
would bring US many thousand dol
lars is especially desired and more
so when it is our right. Councillor |

COUNTY OFFICIAL PAPER.
An old communities have the.

All old communities have their
journalistic burying ground. In
mining and in live rushing towns
these newspaper "stiffs" are more
numerous than in the farming com
munities. In the early days of the
Territory before the advent of the
railroad. newspapers were few and
not commenced until a fair field
presented itself, but since the ar
rival of the railroad the cost of
making these ventures is smaller
and newspapers are spriuging up
on every hand. Yavapai county
has seen its deaths in newspaper
dom. Pima and other counties the
same, but Phoenix lacked its first
victim till last Satu day, when the
Daily Expositor ceased-died for
want of breath. The PHOENIX
HERALD was the first newspaper
in Maricopa county. being issued
as a weekly in January ISIS
nearly three years ago-and is,
thereby, quite a Hassayamper.
During its next three years it viii
no doubt see many more change
than its first three. After an exist
ence of seven months the HERALD
was enlarged, then in five months
more it commenced a semi-weekly..
Meeting with much success, after
nine months it commenced the
DAILY HERALD, which has now
been in existence fourteen months.
The Ezpositor was first weekly
then daily and then back again
to its first condition. In the Elk
positor's short and uneventful
career it has been Of no beneft to
its owners or anyone else. Tie
political support it gave in the last
campaign was bought; every line,
every word it uttered in advocacy
OF the Democratic party was pur-
chased and paid for in hard solid
cash and very little value the can
didates received for their money.
They owe it nothing now. This
article is not a kick when it is
down as we have made room for
similar statements when it gave
promise of long life. Untruthful
from its birth, it died with a lie on
its lips, the correction of which is
the cause of this article. 1t states
that the HERALD's kilograms are
but twelve hours ahead of the San
Francisco papers. while they are
fully IS. Our kilograms are but
one day later than the San Fran
cisco papers, while the mails are
nearly three days on the road.
This is really more attention than
the matter deserves but we will |
have 10 more opportunities to pay
our respects.

Republican, NaIionaI TIatfOrna

Tie Republican party ia Ma
tional Convention assembled, al
the end of twenty years since the
Federal Government was first com
mitted to its charge, submits to the
people of the United States this
brief report of its administration:
It suppressed a rebellion which
had armed nearly a million of men
to subvert the National authority,
[applause;l it reconstructed the
Union of States with freedom in
stead of slavery as its cornerstone,
applause; it transformed 10000 900
human beings from the likeness of
things TO the rank of citizens, lap
plause;l it relieved Congress from
the infamous work of hunting fug-
tive slaves, and charged it TO see
that slavery does net exist, lap
plause;l it has raised the value of
our paper currency from 50 per
cent to the par of gold, Applause;
it has restored, upon a solid basis
payment in coin of all National OBJ
legations, and has given us a cur
rency absolutely good and equal in
every part of our extended country,
[applause;l it has lifted the credit
of the Nation from the point where
6 per cent. bonds sold at SO. to
that where per cent. bonds are
eagerly sought at Premium, lap
plause.
Under its administration rail
ways have increased from $1,000
miles in 1860 to more than 81, 900
miles in 1879. [Applause.] Our
foreign trade increased from $780,
100000 to sl,i5O,0O0,OO0 in the
same time, aud our exports which
were $2O.OOO,O0O less than our
imports in 1860, were $265, O0O,-
900 more than our imports IN 1879.
Applause, and cries of "Good!'
Good" Without resortiug TO
oans, it has, since the war closed,
betrayed the ordinary expenses of
Government, besides the accruing
interest on the public debt, AMI
has disbursed annually more than
$50, 100000 for soldiers and sail
ors' pensions. 1t has paid $780,
100000 of the public debt, and by |
the balance at lower |
rates, has reduced the annual in
terest charge from nearly $780, |
100000 to less than SS9,O0O,OOO. |
All the industries of the country
have revived, labor is in demand, |
wages have increased, and through
out the entire country there is evil
dence of coming prosperity greater
than we have ever enjoyed.

continued confidence and support !
Of the people, and this convention
submits for their approval the fol-
lowing statement of the principles
and purposes which will continue

which We have achieved
