Organized AriZOnians :,

Several meetings of former Ar iZOnians and those now residents of that Territory, but sojOurning in this city, have recently been held at the Palace hotel, which finally resulted, on Monday even- ing last, in a permanent Organi- zatiOn on business and social plane as "The Mining Bureau of the Territory of Arizona" with the following officers President, J. F. Knapp, of Yuma; Corre- spending Secretary, David Rich, of San Francisco; Executive Com mittee, W. A. Rowe, of Yavapai county, w. A. Caldwell, of Mo- have, G. c. York, of Apache, l.. .. Hughes, of Pima, Donald Robb, of Gila, R. Cohen, of Co., chise, J. w. Darlington, of Yu- ma, J. w. Stevenson, of Graham, J. w. Anderson, of Pinal; and Joseph A. Drew, of Maricopa.
 A Arrangements are being made with Prof. H. G. Hanks of the State Mining Bureau, for a prop CT display of all mineral speci- mems which may be forwarded to him. It was stated at one of the meetings, that at all times of the year, there are from 200 to 300 Arizonians in this city and any organization which will bring them together will be of advan- tage in botF. a social and commel- cial point of view: Greater inter- est and more close union would also be thus kept up between the people Of Arizona and the mer- chants of this city.
 The office of the association has been located for the present at PIP Sutter street. It will be under the immdiate charge of Mir. Hanks.-Mining and Scientific Press.

 Unless we mistake greatly, the SENTINEL was the first paper in Arizona to suggest the name of John J. Gosper in connection with the Governorship of Arizo- na; and from the almost uniyer sal approval with which the sug- gestion has met, it is evident that we are not alone.

Silver District.

The result of development in this district of remarkable Iodes continues very favorable. The many huge contact lodges in north Silver district, of which there are at least 10 miles of massive crOppiDgs on the diff ferent channels, and now in a condition for inspection, as the Territorial road has been cOmplet- ed and wheeled vehicles can be driven to within a half mile of the out side claims.
 The Clip mine, which is showing up as one of the most remarkable claims in the district, in that the entire shaft averages an assay of 70 ounces silver to the ton milling rock.
 The first north extension is the Alierta mine, upon which but little work has been done. It shows a continuation of the same variety of ledge matter as on the Clip. and will soon be opened by l Chicago company. The Black Rock has a gang breasting off the massive crOppings, and the result is highly satisfactory, for scarcer ly any is added 10 the waste dump. and the milling rock will averag 50 ounces 10 the ton, and the lowest grade of furnace ore, carbOnates and black galena, assays TO silver to the ton; this. mind you, on the surface; and from ,the various shallow cuts now in on the ledge the surmise is favorable to 1,200 it. in length of just such a variety.
 The Glance tunnel, now in 160 ft., has tapped the. ledge, and struck it rich in a foot of high grade, black galena ore, which is increasing in width as the tunnel progresses; and, at the same time. on the same shift, a large body of high grade carbonate ore was struck in the shaft on the same lode.

White Thunder said: "I was here with others several years ago the Great Father promised Us many presents of goods; we received sOme things, but we do not know whether you sent any to us or not.

The Rembert Grove Sold.

From the Putnam County Journal.
We last week announced that w.
L. Wright had purchased 800 acres
more of Drayton Island We have
to announce this week that Mr.. w.
has purchased the entire interest on
the island of the RemberL estate.
This includes the Rembert orange
grove, and residence and a large
tract of uncultivated land. The en-.
tire tract, with what Mr.. Wright pre-.
viously owned, will amount to fully
1900 acres. The grove was planted
in 1925, by Zepkeniah KingsleyrEsq..
and is, therefore, one of the oldest in
the State. There are about 600
bearing trees in it, and 400 more that
will come into bearing next year. We
are informed that Mr.. Wright will
begin the work of resuscitating the
grove, it having, from want of
sufficient attention, tailed to yield as
fully as its age and capacity would
warrant, and to build a breakwater
on the east side to prevent further
damage from the friction of the wa
ter. 1t has hitherto sustained con-
siderable injury from abrasion. We
also understand that Judge David
Wright, of Auburn, New York, who
owns the LaCosta grove, near Fort
Gates, has purchased Mr.. Wright's
grove Of 2,100 trees at Mt. Royal, a
property that recently was in mar.
ket for 20,0o0, and that Mr.. Wright.
flS, will hereafter give his whole at
tention to the development of his
new purchase OH the island. He is
already making contracts with parties
to superintend different sections tor a
term OF five or ten years. II Is very
gratifying to see gentlemen OF means
and experience buying up large tracts
of land with the view of rcclaiminu
them at once for purposes of aarlcuI
ture. The purchase OF Mr. Wsi..,t
is valuable one.
