To THOSE whose knOwledge Of Ari- zJna has been acquired through occa- sional newspaper paragraphs, the idea will seem prepnsterous that this ''des- ert" land is destined to become the par adise of the agrlcUlturist. The mHnl valleys upon which water 10. irrigation can be had are now producing all the general products Of the farm aud orch ard in great exuberance, while thou sands of acres of equally good and available lands are yet open to the set tier. The mesa or table lands are, pos- sibly, still more valuable when converted into orchards and vineyards. By means of sub-irrigation with concrete pipe but u limited supply of water is required, and few wells with windmIlls will give abundant water for all necessary pur- poses. Grapes grown upon our mesa lands are especially fine and would find a good market and ready sale through
 out the mining towns of our Territory and the cities of the north and east. The time is not far distant when the possibilities of Arizona will become more generally known and better appre- ciated. and our favored Territory will rival that wonder of the world, southern California, in its prolific productions.

The NacasOri Rumors.
TTombstons Beeord.l

A rumor was current upon our streets last night that trouble had arisen be- tween the Nacosari Mining company and some of its Mexican employees. A Record reporter, upon investis ssting the subject, found the report to be without foundation. No news had been received from there since the arrival of the stsge yesterday, and at the same time of its leaving, the mine was working as usual and everything was quiet about the town. IL was alec learned from Mir. Dart, who is largely interested in that section, that tunnel on the San Pedro
 mine has been driven 8 distance of 5iO feet, at which point very rich rock has been struck. On the Rosario tunnel bss been put in 450 feet, which has in tercepisd tue ledge at 6 place where ore has been found which runs very high The town itself was never in better con dition than at present Nearly all the mines there are working, and the place presents all the appearances of 6 thriv- ing mining camp.

 THE stock interests of Southern Ari- zons are destined to equal, if not sur pass, the mining industry. The broad messs, carpeted with lu1urisnt and nutritious grasses are now fstten ng uumberless herds and will eventually be able to feed ten times their present number. With water obtsinabls almost anywhere at reasonable depths, the search for living springs will be aban- doned, and prolific psstursge become the chef otiect of the stockmsn's search. There are yet thousands of acres of splendid grazing lands in Pima county that can be made available and profitable by sinking wells and raising the water with steam or caloric engines. Eventually, when the herds increase and the country becomes overstocked, the intelligent owner will resort to the cultivation of grasses for the maintenance of his herds and will find few hundred acres of cultivated meadows vastly more re- munerative than miles of native grasses. Even the splendid agricultural lands of the great valleys iu southern Arizona will be turned to greater profit in some instances, in producing grasses for stock than in producing fruits and cereals to supply an already overburdened market This is the great safety valve of the stock interests of Arizona, and it sug- gests a permanency to that industry that has been overlooked by many who claim that the country is being over stocked with cattle.

IT Is about time that the people ot Tucson should take steps towards the construction of a railroad to the Quiio- toss f this city has any desire to &C., q1lre the trade of that growing country. The prIncipsl owners of those great nInes will doubtless assist largely in cnstructing the road; but if it be left for them to inaugurste the enterprise tae! vii surely build from Casa Grande or some other point to the west of us, vhe.e straight line and level grade can be had. There are no great engi- reering difficulties to be overcome in ihe Go struction of a road from this c-iy. The general route of the present Esgon road IS very good, and it presents 10 steep grades nor heavy cuts, and the load could be built at very moderate sIpense. The people of Tucson should begin this project at once and secure the road.

GEORGE WILLIAM CUFFS has found 1t convenient to again get hIs name before the people, and he announces that no sweeping changes will be made m Fed ersl appointments by Cleveland, and that the spirit of the reform law will be respected. He says that "non-political officers who have been honest Tn the discharge of their duty, and who have not misused then positions for party or political ends, will not be arbitrarily dismissed for political rsrsons.' NIT. Curtis seems to speak with a positive ness that conveys the impression that Cleveland is to be his dummy. It Is due to the dignity of the Democratic party that they emphatically sit down upon old woman Curtis for arrogating unto himself the dictation of the policy of the party to which he has become a hanger-on through the basest political treachery.

ONE of the several baldheaded editors of the morning concern, never staid, prosy or sensible, refers to a CITIZEN editorial of last Saturday, in which it was stated that the ProhIbiiionists who supported St. John in New York com mltted a crime, and stretches his elastic imagination enough to say: "The logi- cal conclusion of such incorporate Ian gusge Is that all persons that supported Cleveland committed n crime, consider ing that @ majority of the electors of the United States supper ed Cleveland our neighbor must be seriously alarmed at the number of criminals there are in the country" If the gentleman of for elgn extraction who conceived the above "logical' deduction had properly read and understood the language of the CITIZEN editorial upon tEst subject, he might have spared himself the humility of having his stupidity pointed out. The CITIZEN in it's remarks was dealing solely with the relationship of the Pro- hiO.tionlsts with the Republicans, as an ally and practically component part of the Republican party, having its origin within its ranks. They claimed none but the most friendly relations with the Republican party. and under its tscit encouragement had progressed suffi- ciently 10 accomplish much good in the world in a proper sphere. In an un- guarded moment, moved by a spirit which turned them against their friends, they plunged the fatal knife and sctu- ally committed a crime for which they will long suffer remorse.

THE Democrats at ShelbyvIlle, Ten nessee, held grand ratification meet ing on Saturday night. and used an old l2-pounder to emphasize theii enthu- s,asm. The gun seemed to imbibe the spirit of the occasion, and on the seven- teeuth round 1t burst. One piece knocked a negro shanty down aud an- other piece, full of Democratic senti- ment, crashed through the house of John s. Mclean, Baptist preacher, killing him. This was direct blow at the cold water movement of St. John, AS well as an exemplificatIon of the lore of "Pluribustah," where 1t says,
 He had no business; had no right to
 Be a nigger.
 The affair was recognized as the most complete Democratic celebration ever known in Tennessee since Hoods army was destroyed by the gallant General Thomas before Nashville.

HE Democrats seem to be highly elated over the thanksgiving proclama- ton of President Arthur, couched in its usual phraseology. They pretend to see sinister cut at the Republican candi- date for presidential honors, but their premises are not we'll founded. A morn ing paper exultingly says that tue Dem ocrats will assemble and "thank God for the first time Tn twenty-five years for His tender mercies." That is certainly a loug time between th,nks, and at thus time they offer thanks merely for the poodle and not for that peace, prosper ity, plenty and happiness for which the day was especially designated.
