In sunshine and in shadow,
Had journeyed long, singing a song,
In search of Eldorado.
But he grew old. this knight SO bold,

Fell as he found no spot of ground
That looked like Eldorado
And as his strength failed him at length
He met a pilgrim shadow.

BREWSTER CAMERON CONFIRMED

A dispatch was received this morning announcing the confirmation of Brews- ter Cameron as Receiver of Public Lands in Tucson.
 From what we know of Mir. Cameron We believe he will make a good and ac- ceptable officer; he is affable, courteous and energetic. and will be valuable ac. 9uisition to the society of Tucson.
 MT. Daley, the retiring officer, has a host of friends in the city, county and Territory who will regret to see him va cate the chair he has so we'll and ably filled the past four years. The affairs of the land office have been correctly and conscientiously administered. and MT. Daley retires with the full kuow- ledge that he is highly esteemed and appreciated as an official. We are glad to know that MT. and Mrs. Daley will remain in Tucson, making this their home. The place in society they have occupied so long would be difficult to fill were they to leave us. No man in office. was ever more thoroughly interested in hls work than NIT. Daley has been, and the record he has made will ever remain clean and bright.

outrages of last year and of previous years are liable 10 occur again at any minute, they know that the reservation IS supplied at a great expense and Is
 liable to difficulties from encroachment at sll times. They know that valuable mineral and grazing land Is withheld from use. They would desire to place these troublesome people somewhere out of harms way. The Islands across the channel are the only places proper for the purpose. Their area is ample for the purpose, and in sn ways there is peculiar fitness in such use of them.
 Men from Arizona familiar with the Indian question, its vexed points and it's peculiar problems, who have visited this place and the islands heartily concur in the opinion that it is the only one final, complete and just solution of the diff iculty, rendering as it does the Indian harmless and giving him at the same time a beautiful home.

HE Phenix Gazette feels good. IT Its issue of March 21st, there IS al editorial, column in length, upon the cheering news that Mocroe Salisbury snd J. J. Valentine, have signifed their intention to 5uIld railroad from Phenil to Mancope to connect with the South ern Pacific. Mr. Salisbury has large mining interests in the Territory and Mir. Valentine Is the president of Wells, Fargo & Co.'S express, and the Gazette sees money and enterprise in abundance. We are glad inst PhenIx has such good prospects for getting "out of the woods. It IS fine agricultural district and and should have railroad communica- ton. Last summer there was a little spurs Of interest to build a road from Pbenix to this city. But the flash went out in twinkle. Somebody who didn't want this road built blew their breath on it and that was the end of it We have our suspicion that one or two of the parties live in Phenix and one or more live in Tucson. They killed it. Tucson missed an opportunity. What she lost TO one can tell The same spirit that killed that project IS killing other projects now under way. Where IS the man that will rise above and over these obstacles? We want Moses to lead us out of the wilderness. Tucson i7 the commercial center of the Territory. Is it the desire of our people to remain in the lead? If so, more must be done m the railroad line than has been done. If 1t Is the desire to fail ID the rear, it is an easy thing to do. There never was fairer prospect to build mp a city of wealth aud importance than right here The Territory is filling up with a class of people that will enrich it. There can be no question about the future prosperity of Ariz na. It is ss sure tO come as the sun shines. The little effort that has been made the past year 10 make known to the over-crowded East the advantages of stock raising and the extent of silver and copper mining, has given vast in- formation where Arizona was almost to- tally unknown, and to-day there Is not a State or Territory in the Union that is receiving more attention than Arizona. If those who live here wlsh to reap the rich harvests in store for some people. they should open theIr eyes and put their hands tO work, or out of their grasp will be wrested the golden egg. Other towns in the Territory are thriv- ng and are wide-swske, and what Tue son LOW has, other places may succeed in getting. Suppose we do run, as a community, as we'll as individuals, some risks? What then? Are we not more likely to win than lose? Certainly. We will lose more " not risking than to risk. If We fisk nothing, nothing will be our portion.

A PRESCOTT JOURNAL reporter asked General Crook recently "whst his in- teutions were in regard 10 the Chirice- huas which have recently surrendered and come upon the reservation" His reply was: They will be given land and implements with which to cultivate the same, as was last year done with those on the reservation and required to work" So, it is General Crooks in- tention to keep these murdeTers right in the heart of the territory. He has no thought of getting them out of the country into the Indian Territory, and why? Further on he says the Indians last year raised and sold to the govern ment S400000 worth of corn and barley, and S1S.000 worth of hay. Add to this $25O,OOO appropriated by the govern ment and We have S66S,O00 in hard cash coming to these Indians through the officers of the government. The govern ment feeds and clothes 5,OO0 or 6,OOO h. diaDs and the officers purchase from them all they can produce and steal No wonder General Crook is adverse to re- moving the Indians. The Indian agents heretofore have had tue fat pickIpgs and it comes, We suppose in the regular order, for the military to do little picking. That reservation should be broken up. Ii is a living hive of hornets and is stinging the government and the territory to death. There is no remedy except to remove them out of the terrl- tory

QuijOtOa Key Notes.
LOGAN. Mar

LOGAN, March 23.
 The people of Quijotoa are quietly waiting for three important things: a daily mail, water in the Logan we'll and ore in the tunnels.
 This latter the Sheep Nest men claim they have discovered.
 Messrs. Hubbard < Casanega, who have had a dry washer the past two months for working the Horseshoe placers, have not been able to set it agHing on account of the wet weather.
 New reports of rich strik are made every day. If half of these were 10 be believed there IS enough silver on hand to pay off the national debt and then leave handsome sum.
 The Bonanza Company has received 400 feet Of pipe for the valley we'll Fms looks like they are going to stay with the water question till the last
 The last raius enabled the adobe makers to reap q harvest. Logan ave- nue now has few houses constructed of mother earth. but after an American fashion.
 Freight has com neuced moving to-
 
 ade, Occasioned by the railroad wash outs, has been raised. As soon as the timid travelling public are assured that they can come from San Francisco and return ln one day, the travel this way will resume its natural proportion.
 Mrs. c. q. Lewis, of the LewIs house, keeps c fine hotel, IS a patron of the CITIZEN, ana hence gets liberal share of the public patronage. Her menagerie of badgers, foxes, coons and wild cats arr as tame almost as domestic animals. The post holes of the telegraph com panY are now completed to Logan. The office will be in Snyder's store on Logan avenue. Who will be the enterprising printer to start a daily, and gives us the associated press dispatches?
 The present lull in the camp has -tarved out great many adventurers and should do SO with more. They have gone to inflict other communities. They are of the class who toil not, neither do they spin, yet Solomon in all his revelry never drank as much beer. If they would only work they could find 1t even f 1t was prospecting. But not being blessed with the honesty and industry this business requires they are com pelled to reap the fruits of their idle uess, and resort to questionable modes If living.
 Some prospectors here, who have located claims, go and earn enough money to develop their mine, and mine always sells. PERL

WE publish on the first page of the CITIZEN today an article from the Santa Barbara Independent, which We would like every reader to read and then send Us their opinion by postal or letter. Of course We beheve that these Indians have nearly forfeited all claims to hu- manity, and while We do not advocate harsh treatment, we would like to see them placed where they belong and where II IS the duty of this government to place them-in the Indian Territory. put the Santa Barbara proposition may oea compromise between Pap Price, ueaeral Crook and the old women, on Oae s-de' and Secretary Teller and the people Of Arizona on the other side. II Se cannot have them removed to the I-lian Territory then fall in with the 9Aats Barbara proposition. Anything U set rid of these murderous fiends. -li'o'lally he Independent says:
 The Secretary of the Interior has had Lo more complicated or serious matter 1l'a which to deal than the treatment anu [alI control of the San Carlos Apsches. 1I2se tribes have been a standing me -4Se to a broad extent of the country l1u remain so to this day.

THE bill introduced into Congress re- gently to increase the pay of United States Judges to S5,000, should pass The present salary if not enough. The proposed amendment to the bill IS ab- surd, that the provisions of the bill should apply only 10 the judges who shall hereafter be appointed. There IS no class of men harder worked than these judges. There is no more respon- sible position, and the salary should be placed at such figure as to raise the judges entirely above the necessity Of scrimping and eternally economizing to make ends meet Five thousand dollars is not too much. There Is not a first class lawyer in the Territory that does not make twice that sum every year. It is sn act O. justice to raise the salaries of these bard worked iudges.
