Considerable complaint is made among our merchants in regard to the mode of conducting the freight business of the Atlantic &' Pacific railroad. One prominent merchant in this town states that he has had Q claim for case of mel chandlse of the value of few dollars, lost on the way, before the railroad company for eight months past, but can get no satisfaction from anyone about It. The same merchant has several other claims for compensation for packages lost or stolen in transit, but has given up all hopes of obtaining any redress. This Is only one case among many which could be cited.
 There is scarcely an invoice of freight coming to Mineral Park, either from the east or west, from which some packages are not missing, and in a good many instances 1t is known that they are stolen by the railroad employees. We believe that it is only necessary to call the attention of the proper authorities to this matter to have it immediately remedied,
 If goods are lost through the care lessness of the company's employees and no trace of them can be found, the company should be prompt in settling with the merchants for them. The company is prompt enough in collecting freight money and there is no reason why they should not re- spond with equal promptltude when the balance is on the other side.
 Where merchandise is stolen, and we have no doubt that the greater part of the missing freight has been stolen, the company should take prompt and energetic measures tC ferret out the thieves and see that they are properly punished, During the years that Mohave county Hler chants had to obtain their freight by VAy of Yuma and the Colorado river EDetsnces of freight being lost were very rare and such a thing as freight being stolen in transit was almost un- known.

British and Chinese

London, Sept. 16.-Much anxiety continues at Canton. It is consider ed probable that in the case of an other attack on the foreigners at Concession tho Chinese troops on the gunboats there will make com mon canse with their countrymen. The British soldiers kept at Hong Kong are ready for action in case of emergency. The Chinese at Foo Choo are restless and hostile to Flu ropeans. The British gunboat has been ordered to anchor opposite Concession.

The fare from Kingman to Albu- querque from Sept. 18th to Oct. 10th has been put down to the very low rate of two cents per mile. The lib srality of the Atlantic & Pacific rail- road company in thus reducing the fare to less than excursion rates gives all our citizens a chance to visit the Albuquerque Fair, and other places of interest along the line of the road ct a price within the means of all.

e.es and the agricultural interests of
 Msricopa. These four counties have
 become so well known and have ad vance6 so far ahead of the others in
 almost every respect that they do not need the immense amount of ad- vertising bestowed on them ip this
 book. Their wealth and productions speak for themselves and are a bet
 ter advertisement than could be
 gwen them by even as learned man as Pat Hamilton. It Is those parts ot
 Arizona that have heretofore been little known on account of their iso- lation from the world, that need ad- Vertising through the medium of a book like the Resources of Arizona" and it is just those portions which are neglected in this book. We Till mention Mohsve county, being
 the one we are personally interested in, as one of those portions of ArizQea
 which are slighted, one might almost say neglected. n this book; and we
 might call attention to many other parts. To a general description of this county, he magnanimously gives about half page. Out of seventy eight pages devoted to mines and mining matters he is kind enough to
 Rllot us i've pages and s-half, and yet 1t is well known fact, so we'll known indeed that it ought even to be known to MT, Hamilton, that the minlng resources of Mohave county are second to none in the Territory; that in the number of its mineral bearing lodges, the richness and va riety of its ores, and the immense area of its mineral land, this county compares more than favorably with any, not only in Arizona but on the whole Pacific slope. And yet he condenses into five little pages all he knows of the mining resources of Mohave county, and what he does say had better, for the good of the county, have been left out. He has not 8 word-to say about the wonder ful deposits of gslens found here, which are now attracting more at tsntion among capitalists and min ing men than any other kind of ore and bids fair to make our county the banner one in the Territory as lead producer. What little information be does give about our mines IS mo- toriously incorrect, and shows on its face that it is merely a rehash of what he wrote in his former book some years since. He says that all | the ore from Mineral Park, Cerbat. | Stockton and Chloride has been shipped to San Francisco for want of reduction works in the district, 1 and yet the stamp mill at the former place owned and run by Breon & Spear has turned out In the neigh | borhood of half a million dollars worth of bullion.

"ResOurces of ArizOua.'

The last Arizona Legislature ir their wisdom saw it to pass an sct sppropria!Ing thetsum of S5000 out of the Territorial Treasury for the purpose of getting up book on tue resources Of Arizona, for free distri- butiop, having for its object the dis semination of general information regarding the Territory with view of encouraging emigration. The ob- ject. of the Act was certainly laud- able, and if the intentions of the Legislature had been carried out would no doubt have resulted in much good 10 the Territory at large The Legislature selected one Pat. Hamilton to compile this informa- ton from the different portions of tho Territory and cause 1t to be pub lished ~in book form. We don't know why they selected Pat Hsmil- ton in preference to many other bet ter informed and more capable men, unless 1t be on the principle that the gentleman was kind of Territorial orphan and that the last Legislature, like the one which preceded it, had to find. something for him in the shape 6fpsp. However that matters not. The question is, has he, in the present Issue of the "Kesources of Arlzona" iustrned the confidence and trust placed in him by the Legisla- ture, and has he in return for it done his work we'll and faithfully? We answer most emphatlcally, No.
 In the first place he seems to think that the Territory of Arizona is com posed of the counties of Cochise, Pi- ma, Maricopa and Yavspai, at least he devotes about nine-tenths of his book to them, and of course lacks the space to say much about the other six. We acknowledge that the four counties above named are the richest, most populous and best developed of any in Arizona, and it is for. that very reason that we say that Mir. Hamilton should have paid more at
 tention to the other counties whose resources, winch Sare probably as great as the ones mentioned above. have not get been made known to the worll. Tho output of the Tomb stone mines has brought the south ern portion of this TerrltHSHrsss

company just below 1t. He evidently does not know that the finest i've stamp mill in the Territory is situ- ateA at Cernat and that it IS owned by the Ayizona Northeru miDIng company. who are the owners of the Ceabat and other prominent mines in that vicinity, and that they work their ore in that mill and have never shipped a pound of it to Saa Fran cisco or anywhere else. He makes TO mention of tho recently foTns d mining districts and says nothIDg of many If tu- older ones, neither does he mention the thriving town of Kingman, but says Mineral Park is tan miles from tbe railroad, but does not say which end of the railroad. He does not say that intending vis- 1tors to tha mining camps of the Wallapai district should get off at 1 Kibgman on the Atlantic & Pacific railroad and thence take the stage to Mineral Park, which is twenty miles distant. He did not know that tDere was such place as Kingman in this county, or that there was quite a railroad town at Peach Springs; in fact he does not know anything about Mohave county. He does know little, and very little, about what it was four years ago but about what it Is now he knows literally nothing.
 In that portion of his book devoted to the grazing interests of the Terri tory, comprising twenty one pages, he, out of the fullness of his heart, donates us twenty-one lines, and gets in the number of cattle in the county at less than it was four years ago. while he totally ignores the rich strip of farming land on the Big Sandy in the southern portion of the county. In another portion of his book hA pretends to give the altitude of the principal mountain ranges in Arizona but does not mention the Wallapai Mountains, whose lofty peaks tower to the sky 5000 feet above the sea level, though be mentions several of less altitude. As far as Mohave county is concerned we re fudIate nearly everything he has written concerning 1t and denounce 1t as a mass of inaccuracies from be- ginning to end. He has not done this great county CT it's citizens jus tice in thls matter, and if we should judge of the book as a whole by what Is said in u of this county, we should say iJ was decidedIv Inaccurate and Inre,;,iui at 1t falls far shorH

 good shape and is illustra- ted by some interesting views, bat that is easily accounted for from the fact that ;he work was done in San Francisco. although at the time the act was passed it was understood that tue work was to be done in this Territory.

Hamil- ton to take trip to this county and acquire some ht,le information abont 1t before he coDcOcts another edition 0: his valuable { } work, as he un, doubtedly will if the next Legislature should unfortunately be Democratic. To save us from such an infictlon we earnestly hope it will not. We shall probably call attention to some further inaccuracies in this volume on some future occasion.
