Now that the news has gone abroad that the building of the Mineral Belt Railrcad is a fixed fact, we may cx- pect large ad liuOns to our floating population. [ In vlew of these facts candOr prompts ps to say that for the present a man without money can do as well elsewhere as in Flagstaff. There is no demand for labor at pres cnt, arS until the construction of the proposed road actually begins or the Aver Mill begins operating the supply of labor IS more than equal to the demand. With the opening of spring 1t is confidently expected that work will commence on the new road al this point. This, in connection with the demand of the Ayer.company will give ample returns fer the use of both money and muscle.

UNIVERSITY LANDS.

We have Frequently had occasion to complain in behalf of our citizens of the failure of the Territorial au- thorities and the land department of the general government to publish the numbers and location of the uni versity lands of this section, which are withdrawn from private entry. We have claimed in general terms that the failure to make public the numbers of these university lands in cured expense and hardship upon our people, and for the purpose of showing the effects of its practical workings under the present condition of things, we submit the following plain statement, which, as a matter of fact, is but one of many:
 In April last gentleman settled upon and improved certain piece of land, and in due time forwarded to the land office his declaratory state ment with proper fees. The paper was received and properly filed by the local office and receipts and ac- Ceptance duly returned. In the month of December following came notice from the local office that the land thus located was university land and not subject to private entry. h. formation was given, however, that the pre-emptor could select another quarter of land subject to entry and his claim was held without prejudice. In order that he might not again settle upon university land he request ed the local office to send him the numbers of the sections comprising these lands. This letter was written on January nth. In a letter dated January 18th he was informed that he could get an abstract of the uni versity lands for three dollars, and a plat of the township for S3 more. It will he seen at a glance that the numbers of the land would have been ample protection for the pre-emptor, and that he neither asked for nor needed an abstract or plat of the township, as the numbers would have sufficed to protect him in his reloca- lion. The matter of three dollars seems to loom up rather conspicuous ly, and we again assert that the num- bers of those university sections of land should be published.

 Few papers in the country are so ex- tensively quoted by the press in general for it's bright and humorous paragraphs as the Chicago Duly Ncacs These are nll reproduced in the WEEKLY NEWS.

The Cochise Record suggests that the county division scheme be settled by the taxpayers of that section upon whom the expense of the creation of the new government would fall, I his suggestion will apply to- Yavapai as well as Cochise. Ift{e taxpayers of our section -Gcsire to assume their share off-rne county indebtedness and add to it the expense of starting a new county government, the erection of county buildings and other ex- peus,s that will naturally follow, then we favor county division. If on the other hand the division is sought for by few individuals whose greatest ambition is to i'll the offices of the new county, and is not backed by our property holders, then we oppose any movement in that direction.

A FAMOUS bit of fun is Dickens de-
scrlption of the turbulent debate, in the
opening chapters of the Pickwick PAPERS.
during which Mr.. Bolton denounces Mr..
Pickwick as an old fool, who. in his anX
icty to pose as an erudite antiquary, had
generally managed to make the intelli-
gent world ripple with laughter. TO Mr..
Blotton Mr.. Pickwick was not an inter-
esting or instructive figure; he was not a
scientist; he was not venerated philos-
opher; he was credulous old woman
who went about the world laboriously
seeking wisdom and finding none. The
pugnacious Mr.. Pickwick was equal to
the occasion; he wasted no time in scho-
lastic logic, but in the vigorous vernacu-
lar of the street stigmatized the icono-
elastic BlOtton as liar and fraud. who
in the spirit of envy and pure cussedness
had sought to tear from his (Pickwick's)
brow the laurels he had so laboriously
earned by his scientific researches.
Warming up to lively sense of repartee,
the just-indignant Pickwick called Blot
ton an ass, an idiot, a malevolent old
scoundrel masquerading in the garb of a
high-minded scientist, or words to that
effect. The belligerent Blotton answered
by another volley of vituperative epithets
directed at the profound Pickwick, and
there was imminent danger for moment
that the peace of the famous Pickwick
club would be broken by personal en-
counter between the venerable and yen
