The General was found to be as accessible as ever, and with that kindness for which he is noted among newspaper men, readily consented to the b 'ri1g pro- cess of journalistic interview,which was about ss f,llows:
 "General, what will be the sIze and capacity of the canal your com~ pany is now exclvAting when cons pleted?'
 "Well, as proposed, the total length will be about fifty miles,with a width of thirty-six feet at the bot tom with a gradual slope upwards to give it width of tifty-six feet at the top. which will insure an ample carrying capacity for 5000 inches of water, as that commodity is cus- tomarily measured fer irrigating purposes"
 "What will be the cost, extent of country covered, course and general directions of the canal when con1- pleted?'
 "The cost will be from $3jO,O0o to S500,O00. It will cover about 21o ; 600 acres of land, 100000 of which is at present nothing but desert. Commencing about three fourths of amle below the juncture of Verde river with the Salt-at the base of Mount McDowell-where the head of the canal is located, it runs in a nnrthwesteriy d.rection around tn e base of the mountains north of the valley crossing the Agua Fria and Cave Creek by either fuming or tine 60 lstruction of dykes, to the base of the White Tank mountains, where il will tsfn in the direction of tle GIla striking that stream below ils june ture with Salt river.''

Governor Tritle has received official notification of the opening Of the National Cotton Exhibition at New Orleans in December next, together with request to recoma mend commissioner and an alter nate to represent the Territory on the occasion. The commissioners will be appointed by the President on the recommendations of :he Gov ernor not later than February next, but as there is no fund to provide for recompensing such commission CTS iu is more than likely that Cow ernor Trittle will decline the re- sponsibilty of naming a represent ative for Arizona, unless tue people and press of the Territory are un animously in favor of having him do so.

MED by that gentleman. The property
owned by the firm Of Mackenzie d

drawn from the market since the capi-
tai location. He, nor any one In this

tleman, who had been on the late ex-
cursion with Judge Edgerton, that the
decision has been made public prema-
turely, and that Judge Edgerton sb-
solutely refused to make public the
decision, declaring the act for removal
of the capital unconstitutional. The
question now is, "who gave away the
dicision without authority? II is
thought not likely that Judge Edger-
ton would file the decision without
the knowledge of the capital commits.

month, until he reaches the Pacific
