rom the CltlZen.
 The miners on the west side of the Patagonias are exultant over the prospect of custom shelter to be built on the Sonoita.
 Dos Cabezas has every indication of an early boom. The mines look well anu capital is beginning to scent them from afar.
 Big things are expected from the mines now being opened in the south end of the Huachucas. The ore bodies are very large and the assays "away up," in copper, silver and gold.
 The Oxford Dover Silver Mining company has been incorporated in Albany, New York, with capital of $l,000,000, to do business in Pinal county, Arizona.
 Co.,. c. A. CHUTE, superintendent of the Aver Camp mines, in the Ch,. racahua mountains, arrived in the city last evening. He reports that improvements are going on rapidly there. The roads are all built to the shelter and mines, and they have 20-ton shelter on the grouno- which is in process of erection.

The POstm astershIn

We have learned that a move is contem- plated which will have the commission of
 fred Br0Oks as postmaster revoked We
 hope that no one will attempt to do this thing, and if it is persisted in we shall ex. pose some of the cipas.-Tribune. An exposition of the principles as well as principals" of the above would result in giving the information to the public that Mir. Brooks has never received com mission as postmaster of Tombstone. It is true he received an appointment, which was confirmed through misapprehension on the part of the senate that vacancy existed. As thls was not the case, and as the government was content with the ser. vices of Mir. Cum, who, by the way, has never rendered his resignation, the ap. pointment of Mir. Brooks was little pre-. vious. Had it not been for the above ap- parent misunderstanding of the Tribune we would not have alluded to the subject, but now that it is made the subject of pub. lic comment, we would advise parties signing the petition which is being circu- lated in the interest of Mir. Brooks to read 1t first, as we understand from a prominent gentleman who was asked but declined to sign it, that it reflects seriously, and it is needless to say unjustly, upon the present conduct of the office and is as much of a protest against the retention of Mir. Clum in the position as petition for the ap- pointment of Mr. Brooks.

Nothing is known here of the causes which led to placing General Carr under arrest except that they grew oai of the Apache troubles last sum- mer.

Old Dominion, Globe,

From our Globe correspondent we learn that the Old Dominion smelters were 6 failure upon their first run, as was pre- diced by Mir. Martell, whose able report or that concern we published about one month ago. It is no pleasure for us tc chronicle these things. but on the contrary the very reverse; however, as duty to the public we have felt compelled to disclose the works of an eastern ring who have, through unlimited newspaper blowing been attempting to mslead their readers in relation to thls property. Our cores. pendent says that both the furnaces "froze'' up, and one of the water jackets burned completely out. The superintendent Bur. bridge, is now in San Francisco, arranging to repair furnaces and secure first class shelter. It is to be hoped that he will be successful in both endeavors and that his next trial will be more successful than the first. We append to this what the Boston Economist, of Jan. Eth, had to say about this company
 The Old Dominion smelters have started up and are working satisfactorily. It IS believed by the friends of the compan, that it will rival the Calumet and Hecla as copper producer, and will yield large amounts of the precious metals, especially gold. Very rich free gold ore has already been discovered, and samples are on ex hibition at the office of the company.

Guiteau's speech.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 16.-Guiteau was apparently in the best of spirits this morning, when reporter of the Associated Press called at the jail. "I have decided not to sell my speech for money," he remarked, !" but give it the widest possible cir culation through the Associated Press"
 Guiteau has furnished the press with hls speech. It is simply one of his characteristic harangues, in which is advanced his very erraeic theory of insanity, and repetition of the statement that the deed was commit. tld by inspiration.

Scoville Addresses the Jury.

P WASHINGTON, Jan. 16.-As soon as the court formally opened Scoville addressed the jury by confessing his unfamiliarity with the modes of practice in criminal cases. All the defense asked for was fair, candid, impartial weighing of the evidence by fair and candid men,. Counsel would attempt no oratory, because he was moi equal to it and because he would not do it if he could; he would address himself simply to the reason, judgment and intellect of the jury. Oratory, eloquence and appeals of passion he would leave for the coun. sel who would follow him, Judge Porter, and he desired to warn them that in the efforts of the learned counsel to expound the law and ex. plain the evidence he would invar. iably seek to influence tbem through their emotions, to touch thelr hearts and sway their sympathies rather than convince their judgment.
 After recess Scovile resumed his argument, which continued until the hour of adjournment.

 EDITOR EPITAPH Being unable to for ward the foregoing communication, I send you these further details by Mir. Jackson who leaves here this evening.
 After the Indians had crossed the river faqui, the Sauharipa troops took their trail, when the prefecto handed it over and followed it for but little distance and, as expected it would, soon changed its course from the south to the east-di. rection of the Guaynopa mountains.
 At point near Sauharipa the troops overlook the Indians, who laid in ambush for them, and unfortunately for the troops, they fell into it, when desperate fight for few moments took place. The Indians had all the advantage and could not be dislodged, and the order was given for the troops to retire. They lost
 FIVE MEN KILLED
 and several wounded. Among the wounded was Don Francis Valencia, one Of the most prominent and influential cit izens of Sauhraipa.
 The Indians were pursued no further by the troops, and at last accounts had reached Nacori, the town nearest the Quay. nopa mountains, where they had com. mitied some slight depredations. General Otero. lett Oposura on Sunday last with the 9th battalion of regular troops and about 250 of the national guard from this district, for Guaharipa, where he will be joined by 250 more of the national guard from that district From there he will proceed to Nacori, where he will es- tablish headquarters. The generals plans are well laid and are sure to banish the

According to the ordinance which spec. ifies the time at which the old officers of the city shall retire and when the new ones shall take their seats, the second Monday in February seems to be the time Tor this change. The certificates of cleo tion issued to the mayor and council elect are dated from the time above mentioned. Notwithstanding these facts, the mayor and council elect appeared at the meeting of the council last night and demanded the surrender of the several offices The old council having completed all their business adjourned sine die, and the new members stepped into the vacant places re. gardless of the fact that their term of of. flee has not yet commenced. .....

 El Fronterlzo, of this city, publishes the following communication dated at FrOn. teras, December 24th, 1881: At the very moment am writing these lines courier comes from Oputo, bringing the sad news that at point called Canada, del Casca- lote, near the above town, there had fallen victims to the ferocious Apache five men and two wonien, and almost at the same time, in an opposite direction, at place called Canyon del Tacon, there had been two women and four children killed.
 It is stated that the Indians comprise a considerable number and are explained by the celebrated Cachise. They have set their camp Tn mountain and are making expeditions in various directions. They are commanded by no less person than Ju, who has directed considerable Dart of them for the district of Arispe, and now is commencing the volume of the bloody strife of these terrible savages against the indefensible people of the towns.
 With these doleful events we wait to learn what will be the actual situation of these frontier towns. The position of this place is now disconsolate If we had the cavalry that is now guarding Magdalena here it would be different"

Miles in length

making a total of valley land of 1190 miles in length, to say nothing of small valleys such as the Sonoita, Babacomari, Cienega and numerous others. Of the above the Gila for a long distance has an arable width of from four to six miles; the Salt Riv. CT from one to twenty, Little Colo rado, an average of five; the Verde valley, from one to two; San Pedro, of at least one, and the Santa Cruz like width. The Sulphur Spring, San Simon and Arivaipa have no streams flowing through them, but with deep blowing would give inn mense crops. These valleys as we'll as their tributary mesa and noun tain land are covered with rich grass on which stock fatten the year round.
 While the climate of Arizona is as varled as that of California, every thing that is produced in the tenn perate zone as we'll as many things of the tropic, can be successfully grown. With three railroads cross ing the territory the development and settlement of the past two years will be propOrtionately increased, the hamlets of to-day will be wig orous towns and our valleys in time team with thrifty ranches.

and western Arizona is a mountain.

and western Arizopa is mountain. ous region and will never be worth anything for agriculture. There is not a state between the Allegheny and Rocky mountains that has not the capacity to sustain far larger population than New Mexico and Arizona ow have nor ever will have,
 These territories should be consoli. adted and admitted some time here. after as one state. It would be a gross injustice to thirty states in the union to admit them as two states; and their poor and scanty population are unable to support the serious cost of state government. One "rotten borough" state like Nevada from the arid mountain country of the far West is enough.-Chicago Tribune.
 That public journal having the standing of the Tribune should advo- cate the consolidation of the two leading territories of the United States and should indorse that ad. vocacy in such unjust criticism as the above editorial, displays an ig. norance of the country that is, to say the least, deplorable. That nei- ther one of these territories is at pre- sent entitled to apply for state ad mission is no evidence that they will not in time take front rank amongst their Western sisters. The state- ment that "the rate of growth is slow," in the face of the advance ment of the past two years. is absurd. ly false. On the contrary, consider ing the disadvantage of distance from the money centers under which Ari- zona has labored, and the expense that attaches to immigration, our growth has been marvelously rapid. Although the annual bullion product of this territory is already counted by the millions, its metallic resources are so vast, and new finds of i'm. mense value are so rapid, that its treasures are yet hidden enigma that can only be unraveled by deyel- opment.
 But there is little need to call at tention to Arizona's mineral wealth, as the constantly increasing bullion product speaks for itself.
 According to departmental esti- mate made some years ago Arizona contains about 73,OOO,OO0 acres of land, over 5,0OO,OOO of which has been surveyed. The general charac- ter of the topography, soil, propor' tion of arabic land, productions, pas turage, mineral, timber, water, etc., is the same as that of Colorado, Utah, Nevada and Idaho. There are three marked divisions of surface land in Arizona, viz, valley, noun tain and mesa, their areas rating in the order given. The following ta. ble. embracing the principal valleys, will give an idea of the amount of productive land, most of which still ra,, ;ps ,,neattlol.
