IMMIGRATION.

Several of the Western States and most of the Territories. have created organizations and expended funds, both public and private; tO promote immigra- tion. Arizona has done something to call public attention to her resources, but 1t will hardly be claimed that she has done much, If anything, to invite the most desirable immigrants and place at their disposal the kind of information that would enable them ;o cheaply 8ni quickly find lands and opportunities suited tn theIr several wants.
 To simply set forth in truthful and general terms our resources and facility for engaging in business and bui ding homes is questionable policy on the pari of the Territory, and often misleading and injurious to immigrants. Little more need be done to attract miners hither. The publication of the volume by Pat Hamilton. Esq. setting forth the resources of Arizona, as especially val uable; and the exhibi. of our Territory of the precious metals had at Denver. Colorado. DO August and September. 1882. under the especial direction of Prof. John \. Church. has informed tine civilized world that we have a valuable mining country in our domain. The Territorial, local as well as the metro politan journals have ii their columns, as also the statistical tables of the e n- eral government, gwen wide publicity to our steady and large production Of the precious metals, and the fact is well known to mining men everywhere that nearly an the minerals Of commerce abound in Arizona. Miners and mining are slways on the alert for

MINING.

In mining your Territory stands espe- cially prominent in the yield of preciOus metals. Improvements of the most costly and desirable character for min ing and reduction of ores have been and are being erected, and before your next session 1t will be possiblu for the miner~ whose claims will not justify the cree ton of works to find home market for the sale Of their products. In no State or Territory does such a general min eralization of the earth occur as ID Ari- zona, and almost every mineral conner cially valuable can be found within your boundaries. Through the medium Of the Denver Exposition your resources have become known more generally throughout the civilized world, and the fruits are already felt in the investment of large sums of money.

ARTEsIAN WATEK.

The United States has recently inaug- Urated e successful policy of developing water on the dry uplands of the interior of the continent. 4 well recently sunk by the government in Colorado is a noted success. The flow is reported am pie to Irrigate some thousands of acres. The government stlll owns nearly all the table lands of Arizona. Without water It is worthless to the poor man except for grazing, and not very valuable for that, and without a change ID the land laws 1t is unlikely that the rich will make any attempt 10 develop water. The sue cess in Colorado will doubtless encour- age Congress 10 continue appropriations to be used for sinking arteslan wells ID the arid regions of .he West. and sug- gest the possibility of our inducing Con- gress to provide means for an experi- ment in Arizona. l will earnestly CO., operate with you ID any effort in this di- rection.

Arizona possesses several thermal springs, whose waters possess curative powers equal to the famous ones of Cal Ifornia. Nevada. New Mexico and Arkan- sas. That the use of natural mineral waters effect cures of diseases in various forms Is universally acknowledged. It would undoubtedly be a blessing to many people, and result in benefit to the Territory, If means were provided to re- iably ascertain the number of these mineral springs, their locality and the chemical contents of their waters. for official record and publication.

DAYTON, August 6, 1853.
Mcpherson, one OF the murderers of Cum

fined at Dayton. and who was to have been
executed on the 9TH lust, had by the use of
money obtained an appeal, thus allowing
him to live till the meeting Of the supreme
court, nearly two years from the present
time. Snodderly, his acccmplice in the
murder, not having much money, was
unable to get an appeal. Mcpherson was to
have been conveyed from Dayton on the 4
a. IN. train on Sunday morning for safe keep
ing at Wala Walla, thus taking him to an
other county. The people of Dayton gath
cred around the Jail at II p. m. ON the 4th

NEWARK, August l6.-Less than year
ago considerable Of sensation occurred in
railroad circles when from fifteen to
twenty Of the oldest B. & o. passenger con.
ducton were dismissed from the service.
Some OF these conductors had been in the
employ Of the company for q quarter OF a
century, and all were men well known in
railroad circles. It wal stated at the
time that "Spotters" had been employed
by the company, aud the conductors
were not dividing the cash fAts or
tickets even with the company, hence the
result. Now comes the time in the year
for another batch OF conductors to seek en-
ployment elsewhere, and The correspondent
has 1t from reliable source that within
the next week or so few OF the passenger
men will feel the az in close proximity to
their celluloid collars. Already two un-
lacky passenger conductor on the Chicago
division have been relieved, aud more are
shortly TO follow.
