RANpRox ARmY OFFICERS.

It has long been the custom of officers
 of the army who possess sufficient inhu- ence at headquarters, to SO shape mat.
 ters that they could be assigned an i'm
 aginary place at Washington or some eastern city, where they could have an
 easy time. draw full pay, have nothing
 to do but enjoy life, while other officers
 Of less influence are kept on the high
 seas or on the western frontier fighting Indians or housed up in some fort far
 removed from everything that live, en-
 ergetic, intelligent man who has any
 ambition or object in life should desire.
 Navy officers have the pest of this sort
 of duty just now, for the reason that there are not enough ships to go around, subsequently, they do a good deal of shore duty, and as all the shore statlons are at or near large cities, they get along very well indeed. But in the army it Is different. Many officers are kept on the frontier for years; indeed 1t would not be a hard matter to name q dozen or more who have almost spent life time on the western frontier. While it would be very hard matter to i'll the places of some Of these men, yet there are times when it could be done and they allowed to taste some of the sweet as well as the bitter side or life. We notice that General Logan has become in- terested in this matter, and We trust that he will succeeded in securing the passage of a law that will distribute such soft places equally among army officers. General Logan tried to get a provision inserted ID the army bill pro viding that officers belonging to regi- ments should not be detailed to duty in Washington more than three years. He failed on his first effort, but the well known tenacity which General Logan sticks to anything he undertakes, war rants us in believing that 1t will not be long before he will secure it's passag., and that the army snides will have a chance to do duty in adobe and stockade forts in the far west. He has secured the passage of a resolution calling upon the Secretary of War and the navy for lists of officers detailed for duty in Washington, and how long such officers have been on duty there. He 1 does not expect to do anything more this session, but next year, he thinks something can be done to correct tine evll.

Copper.

The condition of the copper market is getting to be of almost as much import ance to the people of Arizona as that for silver, and any information which can be relied upon is ever velcOme to large share ot our readers. On the 23d of Feb. ruary the Engineering and Mining Jour nal of New York, reported as follows:
 The market has somewhat recovered and we hear of no sales at the extremely low prices spoken of in our last. Muct thought has been given to the position of the metal of late by those interested in 1t; and from what we have been able to gather, the feeling IS by no means a. gloomy as some would make 1t. The possibility of a more liberal export Oi black copper from Arizona and New Mexico, by way of New Orleans and Galveston to English markets, IS begin ning seriously to engage attention, and there are those who predict that poo of producers of western copper will b, attempted with view to follow the tao ties so long and SO successfully followed by the Lake companies. It can not bs denied that there are very serious Ob stacles in the way of such a scheme. bu that something must be done Is prettl generally felt. Well established brand, of copper have some support agains such fluctuations in the market as ", have been experiencing; but even the, are unfavOrably influenced, and It is bet ter that, if the foreign market will stant 1t, we should get rid of a surplus ther, at present rates than force all the meta here down to the export figure.

 THE soldier who has lost an arm, leg or foot, or received an equivalent in jury, certainly is more deserving of a pension than one who has been wound ed but has fully recovered. The ordi- nary pension is not B very generous one for the loss of a limb. We have no doubt there are hundreds of men draw ing pensions who are able bodied in every respect. but the man who has lost a limb can do but little, unless he is qualified for special work, towards sup porting a family. A bill was introduced in Congress last week to increase the pensions of such unforunates to $40 a month. It is a bill of merit and such a one as should have been passed years ago. Cut of the fraudulent pensioners altogether, and give the poor, decrepid soldier enough to support him decently, for be is the one who bore the brunt of battle, and we owe more to the common soldier than We do to many of the so- called generals who led them.

THERE was a time when East St. Lou- is, or ''Illinoistown," as it used to be called, was a mere mud hole on the east bank of the Mississippi river, where the trains coming in from tine north and east dumped out freight and passengers for St. Louis. The thought that anything would come of the town oushe low, flat, American bottom never entered any ones head. That was years ago; but a great change has taken place iu "Illi- noistown." Its name has been changed to East St. Louis; great elevators for storing wheat and corn have been built; expensive stock yards, as good as any in the country, have been constructed; good hotels have been built. and great warehouses of every description are con- stantly being added to the business ca pacity of the town. It is favored by the Illinois Legislature in every possible way, and Chicago says to the new town, "Go in;we will help you" East St. Louis is no longer a mud town. but has been raised above high water mark; the streets have been graded, and in wealth and population it is a real cIty, with the prospects of becoming the second in population in the State of Illinois.

A Good Suggestion.

The following communication touches upon an enterprise that demands the careful consideration of the business men of Tucson who have the growth and prosperity of the city at heart. It is wise in suggestion and practical in it's fulfllment, and She construction of such a hne will not only add much Co the taxable property of the county, but will directly benefit the city of Tucson far more than the original outlay uec- essary for it's construction, each year, far 1t means the building of large reduc- ton works in this cIty, involving the employment of hundreds of men, aud the utilization of the ore from hundreds of mines now practically worthless be cause of the financial inability Of their owners to work them.

 Feb. 2S, 1883. } EDITOR CITIZEN: It is with pleasure we note the effort to build narrow gauge road to the mining districts around your city which as I saw 1t in November last was quite different from Harper's for March. The writer, as well ss a large number of friends and ac- quslntances, has valuable interests m various districts from Tucson to the Gunsight mountains and earnestly hopes measures will be taken for the building of narrow gauge road to Allen City. IL will, If built, bring back large traffic in ore to be sent to Baltimore or Benson for reduction, unless 1t is stopped in Tucson by works there, so much needed In Col. Bivins you have large hearted, snterprising gentleman, and we hope hls efforts will be ably assisted by all wide-awake, far-seeing citizens as we'll as the one I take pleasure in addres- sing. Yours truly.

 TEE managers of the proposed rail way from Tucson to Port LObos will, they say, begin the construction of the road from the latter place, owing to the lower rates of freights to that point. TIes and iron can be laid down at Lobos at about the same rate as at Whining ton, California. The iron for the road will probably be brought from England and the ties from California. It is clalmed that the company has a franchise of Sl0,0OO a mile from the Mexican government, besides the right of way. Tue friends of the road claim that the grades will be easy, and that the road can be extended rapidly. Ii so, and the organization has the backing it claims to have, there Is no reason why 1t may not be completed within a year from this date.l

A TELEGRAM from Prescott states that mll has passed the House giving the Board of Supervisors of Pima county authority to issue S200G00 county bonds for internal improvements. We take It that this amount is to be divided be- tween the Lobos road and Calsbasss road. IT so, We will soon have the road to Calabasas, as 1t IS already surveyed and in the hands of a strong corporation which is abundan:ly able to build 1t, and with bonus Of a hundred thousand dollars offered them, it is more than likely that they will be willing to con- struct 1t at once.
