The Land Grant of this Company, in alternate sections extends entirely the Territories of New Mexico and Arizona, between the 34th and 36th degrees of north latitude It IS 65o miles long and So miles wide and includes some of the best grazing lands of both Territories. In the valleys are many desirable ofagricuitural land, sus- ceptible of irrigation. suficiency of water has been found wherever cattle and sheep have been grazed, and large herds have been grazed in the country ever since the coming of the Mexicans Wells have been sunk and good water has been obtained.
 A stream of running water, the San Jose, rises near the summit of the Sierre Madre, and runs $ miles eastward to the Rio Puerco, and the compa- ny's road follows the whole length of its valley. There are numerous fine valleys opening into the valley of the San Jose, hanked by grassy and woo- ded hills, upon which there IS open growth of small cedar and pinon. There is ane<, nsive belt of good pine timber the mountains, near the railroad, and good springs found on both slopes west of Fort Wingate which has been fully cx- plored, and which will afford labor for large pop ulation, there also coal deposits the eastern slope of the Sierra Madre. Many varieties of buil- ding stone are found in great abundance along the line of the road.
 In Arizona the grazing areas are supplied with good water, and the United States Surveyors, who made the official surveys of the country, say they are as good, if not better, than those of Wyoming without irrigation. in the valreys of the Puerco of the West, on the Compauy's lands, and in the val ley ofthe Little Colorado, also the line of the road, good crops of corn, sorghum, oats. barley, and garden vegetables are grown by irrigation, the finest of potatoes oats, wheat, barley and gar den vegetables of large size and fine quality have been successfully grown without irrigation cu

THE Grand Junction News of the Centennial State has a special in Washington that is giving "so- ciety" to the rockies. Hear him on the probabilities of the coming winter at the capitol; "It is defn- itely and authoritatively stated that Miss Cleveland will remain with her brother during his administra- tion. A number of her friends will become winter residents at the cap itol this season, and the hospital ity of the mistress of the White House will be fully taxed to meet the demands upon her time, and will make no further effort at lite rary work during her brothers ad- ministration. The return of the President to Washington will be the signal for an exodus from the watering places by the leaders of society, and a number of residents from the West End and Connecti- cut avenue have already telegraphed to have their houses in order for immediate occupation. There will be no lack of entertainment or so- ciety this winter. New York and Chicago society will be we'll repre- sented at the capitol this winter, as orders have been received from scores of people from these two places for winter accommodations here. Mr. and Mrs. Letter will con- tinue to entertain their large circle of friends in the Blaine house on Massachusetts avenue, and will be regarded as the leaders of the Chi cago set. On the other hand, Sec retary and Mrs, Whitney and As sistant Secretary and Mrs. Fairchild will occupy similar position from a New York point of view" On with the dance, ye partizans of pleasure. Let joy be unconfned.

Bur few days ago. a dispatch from San Francisco said: "A representative body of citizens com prising Governor Stoneman, Sena- tor Stanford, Congressman Morrow, McKenua, Henley, Louitt and oth- CTS left this morning to inspect the damage done to the Sacramento by debris from hydraulic mines. They were unanimous in the opinion that prompt and vigorous measures would have to be taken if the river was to continue navigable."
 It is a melancholy thought to pass through the mind of an old Californian that the Sacramento is dead to steamboat traffic. The old highway that served as carrier of the millions in gold to the Bay City, from all the northern and midland counties. The noble river that fioated with ease the steamers Sen ator and New World to their land ings at and alongside. of the store ships at the city front is passing away. Sacramento City was justly proud of it's river; its magnificent highway to the sea. No doubt it's tale has been told, its work and usefulness as a highway ended. It served we'll it's day and the peo- pie that first gave life to the Golden State.

GENTLEMAN at Coolidge tol

A GENTLEMAN at Coolidge told our correspondent the following "A party of us started out for ride over the mesa several days since, and after going some fifteen miles, came to quite 8 hill and concluded to go on top. On the way up we found oyster shells, most of them broken, however. Occasionally we found small ones which were whole. We were very much surprised, not having heard of it before. This looks as if that country must have been covered by sea years ago." Alb. Evening Democrat.
 Professor Bibikov of Albuquer- que can fully post the Democrat with regard to the shell producing district referred to in the above item. Mr. Wm. Crane, of Bacon Springs, near Coolidge, has, for more than twenty years past, filled all the contracts for lime supplies at Fort Wingate from these shell bearing rocks, and has in his cabi. net specimens of rare perfection and beauty in bivalves, crustaceans, cephalopods, entomostomata, with thousand and one other marine specimens, of Lome product, that no tenderfoot would ever expect to find away from Rockaway Bay or it's inlets on the south side of old Long Islands sea girt shore, or of the heads at the entrance to the Golden Gaze.

GEN. NELSON 4. MILEs is reported 1

GEN. NELSON 4. MILES is reported to have said to Denver interview CT, that he predicts that in fifty years from the present time, there will be no pure Indian blood in the country, that the race is fast dying out, and that 1ntermarriage with the whites is also growing in ex- tent. Now with all due respect for the Generals Indian fighting quail ities, we doubt his knowledge of the procreative power of the Indian, and will venture the prediction that fifty years hence there will be living in Arizona and New Mexico, one hundred thousand pure breed Nav ajos, cultivating farms, pursuing the mechanic arts, teaching schools and performing all the duties of intelligent, educated American citi- zens. If our prediction is not nearer correct than the Generals, then break up Carlisle and all kin dred establishments at once.

WM. A. SwITzER took out this week a number of men to work on the new wagon road from Flagstaff to the Verde. He will continue the work until the road is complet- ed, when Flagstaff will enjoy long felt want. No better man than MT. Switzer could have been selected to perform the work.-Flagstaff Champion.
 The same legislature that gave $4,OOO for the Flagstaff and Verde road, in Yavapai county, gave Apache county $12,OOO for roads and bridges. Anybody doing any thing for Apache county? Where are our Switzers?

MAJOR POWELL, chief of the Geo. logical survey, has been visiting Santa Fe after a sixteen years in terregnum. The New Mexican, of the 26th inst. contains interesting accounts of his latest discoveries, the most interesting of which are located IS miles northeast of Flag staff. To give some idea of the magnitude of the work of Major Powell and his party it is only ne- cessary to use the words of the great explorer of the southwest. Besides the inhabited pueblos we have to date mapped the location of over 5000 ruins. These habita- tions are found all over New Mex leo and Arizona, a part of Utah, a small part of California, in Nevada, and in about one-half of Colorado"

GEN. CROOK seems to think that the Apaches are trying to get back to the Mescalero agency in NewMex- ico. We'll, the chances are if the willy devils have taken that notion they'll "git thar, Eli."-Southwes- tern Stockman.
 General why not let them get there? Is it not possible to gobble them on their arrival. It seems impossible to catch them anywhere else. Let the Agency, or Reserva- ton Indians understand that as soon as they put their feet on the reservation, they must be arrested and delivered to the United States authorities. There should be no cities of refuge for the murderers.

SPEAKING of the pensions laws our worthy cotemporary among other things says 1.-The Republi- can rulings have always been mig gardly, mean and invariably against the soldiers" If the editors of the Democrat would attempt to prove that assertion, they would have more business on hand than a yell low cur with seven spots to lick and seven full grown thomas cats to fight at the same time.-Neosho County (Kan. Journal.

As it is our ideal to give all the local
news we can find in Clark county or out
of it about Clark county, we copy the fol,
lowing from the great Cincinnati truth
teller, for the edifcation of those of our
readers who do not read the Enquirer:
Clark county has good deal of material
which may, in contin yencies, be presented to
the next Republican State Convention. l. is
hot-bed OF radical Republican politics, and
is especially lusty on the temperance qnes-
ton. 1t has much talent, and some OF it is
out of employment. Captain Bushnell came
near enough TO snstching the Congressional
nomination 10 prod him on to other achieve
msnts. Captain Ogleyee will not be ayerse
10 keering in line, and the Springielders
have Ex-Speaker kei'er with them always.
Coloael Kinney, als5 politician o. State re-
nown, is now holiipg forth in the Cham
pion City" but he is probably unavaiing for
politics. He has reformed, aud is now en-
gagged in the newspaper business.

Mr. Beecher said, in his personal expla.
nation to Plymouth the other day, that he
would gladly have given his life if only
the Republican party could have had in
its platform such a welcome to the south
as n have made one of its great candi-
dates a southern man. This would have
been great national sacrifice, but, il
Beecher had stood up to the bargain, We
think the Republican party could have al
most afforded to make it.
