TIE people are after forfeited land grants. Senator Plumb has introduced a bill which provides that where a grant of public land has been made to aid the construction Of any railroad, and such road has not been completed within the time prescribed by law, the land so granted or such quantity thereof as had not been patented or certified to such company, or to any State or trustees for its benefit, prior to the expiration Of time fixed for the completion Of the roads shall revert to the United States, and shall be open to settlement as other public lands. The bill further provides that immediately upon it's passage the Secretary of the Interior shall give pub lie notice that the lands described are open to settlement and that entries will be received at tine Land Office iu the district in which the lands are situated. When the road is being constructed in good faith by the corporation and there seems no question Of the early compile tlon of the road, We think Congress would be justified in extending the time long enough to enable the company to complete the work.

TIE water question is not alone of ln- terest to Tucson, but has been of con siderable importance to miners in many of our districts. The reports which have been made of the extreme dryness Of Arizona has deterred capital from com ing here. It is true there IS no water for hydraulic mining in this territory, but there seems to be an abundance for the practical purposes of quartz mining. The further developments which have taken place in districts reported abso- lutely destitute of water, have shown that nature had not entirely omitted that important element of life. In the Cababi, which has been noted as a dry region, the flow of water Tn the Desert mine has compelled the suspension of labor until machinery can be provided to take care of it. Prospecting for wa- ter in that district has been as success ful as prospecting for mineral. The Cababi district has been known for years as one of the richest mineral sec tions in the Territory, but the water question has kept it haclz. The opening ur-S-;, t6iis district will no longer be de- layed by this obstacle, and its bullion output, in the near future, will greatly increase the product of the Territory. What is true in relation to water in the Cababi is true of other districts reputed as too destitute of water for practical mining. It looks as if the envious would soon be compelled to resort to some other ground upon which to disparage Arizona mining.

LARGE portions of Colorado are now under snow, and mining will soon be suspended until next summer. That is one of the disadvantages under which which southern Arizona does not labor. Here mining operations can be carried on during the whole year, and now is the busiest season. Then Arizona has other advantages which capitalists should not overlook. Arizona's one rail road. the Southern Pacific, has done more to make the country accessible than the same length of road could do an any other mining region in the United States. Arizona's mountains are peculiar They are not a series Of al most unbroken ranges, rising higher and higher, but isolated peaks and short ranges surrounded by vast plains, which furnish the finest natural roads to be found anywhere in the world. This makes our mines accessible. Immense sums do not have to be expended to get to the valuable deposits which lie hid den in almost every mountain. Nature has provided highways and a climate which permits the miner to pursue his avocation uninterruptedly.

THE representati.s silver bullion pro- -,l-.oins States of the West propose to make war on the administration if it op- poses their chief interest. The San Francisco Report says: Representative Bedford, of Colorado, declares that the Presidents message discriminates against the mining section of the cour- try, and that if Arthur desires to make war on his State he shall not support him in his policy. We do not know how Senator Miller stands on the Silver question, but as he represents a mining State and as the interests of the State of Nevada are closely allied to those of California, be is no doubt in favor of silver. Senator Jones, of Nevada, is an enthusiastic silver man.
