Lost in the storm,

Our townsman, Mir. V. T. Davids, made trip into the forests south of the city last week. Eight or ten miles south of this city MT. Davids was hailed by a human voice, and turning beheld at some distance a rather dlminutive figure of colored man and brother, MT. Davids de- scribes his first sight of the figure in the great expanse of snow in way that reminds one of fly in a pan of buttcrmik, or helpless hapless toad in meal chest. Coming up to MT. Davlds, he stated that he came to Flagstaff with the men who brought the racing mare Lucy from Albuquer- que. In attempting to go from the Aver mill to Jim Carts ranch he be- came lost in the storm. He wander ed about until he finally found a de- serted cabin in which fortunately re- mained sack of potatoes. From this cabin he made daily trips into the surrounding forests, failing each time to make his way, but he would retrace his steps by following his own tracks back to the cabin. The poor fellow told pitlful story of his months suffering from cold, hunger and fear. Mir. Davids said the con- dition of the boy corroborated the truth of his statament, and he hasten ed to extrlcate him from his dllema.

Through to the Coast.

A number of prominent capitalists from Boston, all stockholders in the Atchison, To- pekaS& Santa Fe and Atlantic X Paclhc rall' ways, passed through this part of the country a few. days ago, on their way to California. Some of the gentlemen had other business here, but all were interested in examining the railway property in winch they had made large investments. and investigating the pres ent situation of affairs. In conversation win some of these parties at Santa Fe, we learn that 1t IS now the conviction of all those who have invested in the enterprise, that the At lantic X Pacific must be extended just as soon as practicable, to the Pacific coast This is made necessary by the circumstances of the case, in order to save the large amount al ready invested and to give to the line com posed of the Atchison, Topeko & Santa Fe and Atlantic X Pacific that standing and i'm portance and business to which its real mer its as transcontine ental route entities it. As one of the gentlemen remarked: "Our folks have now put in about $50, 1000, ,ooo into the Atlantic X Pacific and we can never hope to get a cent of it back tlll we continue the line to the coast We have built to point from which we can almost see the Pacific, and there stopped, leaving ourselves absolutely at the mercy of rival corporation. As 1t IS now we have no through line al all, and all the money we have spent goes for nothing, or next thing to it; but by building but compar atively few miles more, to take us to the coast, we will not only have the shortest but the best and most desirable of all the through routes. Yes, we shall go on to the Pacific; we are compelled to do it."
 It is probable that the work of construction will be undertaken curing the present season. unless trade is made with the Southern Pa cihc for the Mohave branch, and that, with the line from San Diego to Colton, which is in friendly hands, would give the Atlantic & Pacific through line to the coast at once Albuquerque Journal.
 From the source and tone of ihe above, we judge there will be no more rumors for some time in regard to the proposed changes of the A. x P. We think the people of this section will be pleased to accept the above condi tions as final.

LOST BASIN.
LOST BASIN, MoHAvE Co.,, February 22, 1884.

February 22, 1884.
 EMior CAambion:-I can safely say, without enlargement, that the Ida mine, at this place, is, beyond a doubt, one of the greatest gold. dis coveries found in this Territory. The immense size of the ledge attracts the attention of the oldest miner, running as il does in free gold down to a dis tance of I3o feet. As usual, those who held the mine in contempt are now eager to avail themselves of a like bonanza, and are nocking in num- bers 10 the scene of the discovery Situated as it is, in one of the most romantic spots in the Territory, so far from civilization and amid the widest scenes of granduer, makes the Ida mine one of great value, aside from its extreme richness. The loca' ton for opening the mine was a hard matter to decide, on account of the immense amount of ledge matter in sight, cropping out above the ground fully one hundred feet. The crop pings at Clifton are dwarfs in compar- ison. From the bottom of the shaft immense pieces of quartz are sent to the top, some of which weigh over one hundred pounds, and free gold can be seen all through them. At a depth of ninety,four feet a slight diff ficulty occurred at the bottom of the shalt in the shape of an upheavlng, but on sinking few feet more the ore came in sight fully as rich as ever, and strange to say, the walls retained their usual regularity. The ledge measures fully three feet across, free from waste. The shaft has no perceptible inclination either way. and an observer would declare it straight hole in the ground. Sc straight Is the shaft that miners could at a depth of one hundred feet, work without light.
 Your readers would think 1t strange to see five hundred feet of rich ore running up higher than the shaft o the Ida mlne, but such IS the case, and up to the present time the owner, have he satisfaction of knowing thar they have six hundred and thirty feet of ore which samples little over thir ty.Ave dollars. The quartz IS gray ish white; the lining IS red; there i' very little soft matter, and the wall, are perfectly smooth, without the slightest blemish.
 The owners of this property are T. o. Stevens, of Peach Springs, and w. A. Osgood, Train Master on the A. X p. road. These gentlemen have expended large sum in openlng ul the property, meeting with all sort, of drawbacks in the start, but contra. ry to the expectations of the envlous, these gentlemen pushed steadily for ward with the work, and have shown that there is one gold mine in thi. Territory.
 Lost Basin is in Mohave county, and IS further north than Gold Basin. a distance of twenty-two miles. More anon. IRISH LORD.

OUR NAVAJO NEIGHB ORs.
The School at Fort Defiance---An Hour
 with Acting Agent r. E. Marshall.

It is an old saying that an ill wind blows no good. We do not know to what particular element we may charge the delay of our usually prompt express train on Wednesday, but the delay gave an hours pleasant and instructive talk with 5. E. Mar shall, of Fort Defiance. Mir. Mar shall is Chief Clerk to MT. Riordan, the Navajo agent at that place, and was formerly connected with the In dian office at Washington. He IS a veteran in that branch of the service, and talks easy and 1uently on ludlan affairs. Agent Rlordan IS now ab' sent in Washington, which leaves the affairs of the office entirely in the hands of Mir. Marshall. As the du- ties at this tune Is particularly heavy, 1t necessitated bllef visit by him to our city. The Secretary of the lnte- rior, having ordered the Navajos on their reservation, and thereby impos- ing hardships on their settlements along the Rio Puerco, 1t IS hoped by agent Riordan that some concession may be made by the Department, hence his visit at this time to the Ma tional Capital. The Navajos ask for some additional lands. or in lieu there of, the development of water on their reservation. The Indians and whites Oil their respective border are filing charges against each other, which. if substantiated, would betray a weak ness for appropriating horseflesh and live stock on the part Of each. In re- Iply to our inquiry as to which party was winner in thls expensive game oi draw, Mir. Marshall gave us "kien sabe" look and hastened to say that the school at that place, though Of recent origin. was progressing nicely, and that w. T. Logan, a nephew ol John A. Logan, IS the teacher. There are about forty scholars ih the vlclnl- ", about halt of whom are in regular attendance. Mr. NJ. spoke in the highest terms of Mir. Logan'S ability as an instructor, and of his socia qualities. He also gave us many queer and instructive bits of his tory of the legends and superstl uons of the strange people among whom he resides.

Jail for Flagstaff.

The Prescott Miner says: Flagstaff which IS the second largest town in the county, ought to have some sort of jail, in order to enable its peace officers to hold persons who may be placed under arrest for crimes com, mltted Tn the northern part of the county. The distance between Flag staff and Prescott Is too great and the cost of sending people accused ot small crimes here too great to be borne by tax payers. Sheriff Henkle tells us that a log house, suitable for the purpose, can be put up for $500, or 5000. He can furnish irons, etc. As the supervisors are to meet today, 1t may not be out of order for them to attend to this matter" We are glad to know the Miner recognizes the i'm portance of this matter, and has the fairness to urge it on the board. Flag staff has long suffered in this respect The very presence ofa jail will have a good effect on the floating and disor derly element in Flagstaff.

New Associate Justice.

The Associated Press dispatches oi the 3d inst. announce the Confrma- tion of the appointment of Hon, w. F. Fitzgerald, of Mississippi, as Asso. ciate Justice of the Supreme Court oi Arizona. We are informed that liar ris Baldwin, an attorney at St. Johns, and who was student in his office, says that Judge Fitzgerald is a very able and competent lawyer. He will in all probability be assigned to the first district, and we are in hope that MT. B's statements may prove the new Judge faithful and upright successor to Judge Sheldon.

We learn that the wagon road from Ash Fork to Hell Canon is literally strewn with wagons mired in the mud or broken down. The outlet for our Jerome neighbors is by wagon road from the United Verdie Camp to our town. The route IS free from snow ten months in the year, is of uniform grade, with abundance of wood. grass and water along the route. Our en- terprising neighboring town of Ash Fork, with it's railroad facilities and surrounding settlements will not only keep its present volume of trade, but has a bright future. The only hope for our isolated suburb, Prescott, is a railroad, which she is not likely to get the present year.

Senator Hill (Republicanl of Go,

Senator Hill (Republican) of Colo rado, is after the surplus cash in the treasury, which Republican paper of Arizona thinks should only be ex- pended for the purpose of keeping its monopoly friends Tn power.-Cour
 fer. A little of this surplus cash could be judiciously expended in establish ing a mail route from the A. & P. lile to Tonto Basin, where thousand of our people are without mail facilities.

Mineral Near Flagstaff.

It is asserted by some of our prom inent and responsible citizens that the body of ore recently discovered twenty-five or thirty miles north of this place by MT. Turner, assayed we'll. There IS more said in connec. tion with this late discovery than we care to publish at this time. For months past there has been mysteri, ous movements and side whispers which promise to develop into an i'm. portant revelation as soon as the facts can be accumulated. 1t IS a well known fact to many of our citizens that in the belief of Sam Ball, the Hulls. and many other old timers in these parts, that within thirty or forty miles of the San Francisco peak, in a northwesterly direction, there is an old deserted Spanish mine and large amount of buried treasure. It is also well known that much time and labor has been spent within the past two years in the endeavor to discover its exact location. We hope to get sui ficient data in the near future to give to the patrons of the CHAMPION a re- liable and connected history of the entire subject.

 Order Office.
 From our Postmaster, P. ]. Bran nen, we learn that our business men and the citizens generally are urging the necessity of a money order office at this place, and Mir, Brannen is talk ing steps to bring about the desired end. In connection with postofice affairs, our courteous P. NJ. gave us the following facts, taken from the returns now on file in his office, and IS substantial evidence of the improve ment of our town since the boom that commenced in September last. Pre-. vlous to September 30. 1883, the number of letters registered In any quarter was I76. During the quarter ending Dec. 3Ist, the number of reg lStered letters was SAP, The amount of stamps cancelled the same quarter was s2S0. 78, fully one third increase over any preceding quarter. The of flee now advances to the dignity of Presidential appointment and a sala- ried office.

MT. Thomas, superintendent of the United Verdie Mining Co.,, with sev. eral other gentlemen, are on a hunt for new route to the railroad along the eastern slope of the Black Hills. No report from them as yet. The above IS from a Jerome letter to the Courier, and the party is probably coming in this direction along the most available route.

That Wagon Road.

It will be built. If not immediate ly and under the auspices of the en- terprising citizens who started the project, 1t will come as a natural de velopment of our section within the present year. The section of country lying between our city and Jerome Is being rapidly settled with class of men who do not go to market by mar row trails nor on burros. By letters from the east through private chan nels we are daily receiving word from people who are coming to Flagstaff.
 Those who have resided here during the comparative dull season to wit . ness the growth of oar town, cannot doubt that the opening of spring, the
 beginning of business now under way will bring to this section hundreds ol families who are coming here to make permanent homes in and around Flag staff. We venture the prediction thal the next three months will witness an influx of immigration to this point that will make some of our fogy neigh, bors in the interior green with envy.
