ASSESSMENT WORK.

EDITOR CITIzEN:-Does the mining
 laws specify at what time the annual
 assessment work on unp6tented mining
 claims shall be done; and, say upon 6
 claim located in 1884, and one hundred dollars in labor expended during that year, does it hold the claim until Janu- ary lst, 1SS6? SILvRB MING.
 The mining law is very plain upon this point. It says the date upon which the annual assessment work is required to be performed, commences upon the first day of January following the date of location. Therefore in the above supposed case no amount of work performed in 1881, upon q claim located during that year would hold it for the year 1885.
 It is held by the land office that la- Dor performed or money expended upon mining clam, prior to the first day of January succeeding the date of loca- tion thereof, will not be considered as q part of or applied upon the first ex- pendIture required by law. Thus, upon a claim located at any time during the year 1884, the period within which the labor must be performed commences January l, 1885, and during the calender year 1885 the expenditures must be male, or the claim will be subject 10 relocation on and after January l, 1886. The expenditures must afterwards be done annually by the calender year.
 It must also be remembered that if the assessment work is not done within the year, the claim is subject to relOcs- tion by any one, provided that the org inal locators, their heIrs, assigns or legal representatives have not resumed work upon the claim after failure and before | such location. In other words, If the | original locators or owners have begun | work on the lst of January, before others have located the claim, they can, of course, hold it. The fact that large expenditure has been made on 8 claim in the past will not relieve claimant from the necessity of performing the re- quired annual labor.
 All unpstented claims on which S10O worth of work is not done before Jan usry l, 1886, would be forfeited and sub lected to relocation. according to the old ruling of the Commissioner of Pubic Lands. A more recent ruling provides that in cases where owners or locators or mining claims are actually engaged ID oolng their annual work on January l. sneh claim is not subject to relocation, providing the owner puts in the full amount of labor required by law during said month.

TIE governors proclamation, pub lished elsewhere, is the first intimation
 the people have received that they are regarded as set of lawless cut-throais a: territorial headquarters. Oltsiie Of a little buncOmbc talk on the subject oi attacking the San Carlos reservation, We do not believe that such scheme las been seriously considered. The people do not feel an enmity toward She peace able Indians on the reservation. The Warm Spring and the Chincahus Apaches are the guilty ones, and the only Indians that should suffer for thair manifold crimes. The people generally express this sentiment, and the sug gested raid upon the reservation Is sim ply absurd. The proclamation prGc- ticslly arraigns the people for an act of lswlessness they had never contemplated, and unless 1t was promulgated to suggest such raid, We are at q loss tO account for it's appearance. We recall a presi- den:ial proclamation that declared o. chise county under martIal law, Rud called upon the cowboys 10 disbaDd ard lay down their arms because of little discussion among themselves, and tle harm and disgrace 1t unnecessarily did our territory has not yet teen obliterated by the charitable hand Of time. Tie people of Arizona are law-abiding and patrio ic in spite of such base impu'a- tions, and they will do themselves and the territory a grave injustice not to re- sent such an unwarrsnted slander.

THE cattle interests of Arizona, like those of other states and Territories, are greatly strengthened nnd protected through the organization of associations for that purpose. The mining interests, the chief industry of the Territory, have not yet reached that progressive stage of harmonious effort, and each individ- ual mine owner IS happy in onceit that he owns bonanza destined to place him beyond all earthly vIcissitudes in a short time. Ii IS somewhat strange that no association of mine owners has yet been organized in this Territory. New Mexlco has several of them.

THE value of the brilliant electric light to the city of Tucson cannot be ac- curately measured by the accommode- tion afforded the pedestrian about our streets and the better security to lie and property. While these may be primary benefits that are worth our most serious consideration, and fully repay the out lay, there is still greater benefit that our city indirectly receives from this modern illumination. Eastern people possess but very little accurate knowl- edge of Arizona, and many of them re- gard 1t as barren desert, blistering un. der 0 burning sun. and flowing with rivers of blood through excessive Indian atrocities. Its people are regarded as semI-ssvages, utterly devoid of intelii- gence and enterprise-mere fugltives from justice in other portions of the na- tion. We are located upon tbe line of a trans continental railway, and millions of people annually pass through the city without gaining the faintest knowledge of the importance of the place or its possibilities. We are city of prospective greatness, extending welcome to the settler and the capi- tsEst, and it IS wise that the first im- pressions upon stranger should be fa- vorable. The exhibition of electric light masts with no illumination gives him sn impression of decay snd departed en- ierprise, and he naturally argues thGt delusive boom had exploded and left our city stranded and bankrupt. He re- members how bright and cheerful the ente- urising little cities and towns along his route appeared under the tvinkling light of the eleo...s lamps, and mentally contrasts tbeIn with the gloom of our city that hss presented such plausible opportunities to him lor investment
 He wonders how nature could bestow so many and rich resources upon people so slow to appreciate and develop them, and he comes 10 the natural conclusion that the eastern estimate of Arizona and it's people is correct. On the contrary, the brilliant flash of the electric lamp greeting his arrival in our midst tells him of enterprise, of progress, aLd he is made to believe that our people them selves possess a faith in our city and our Territory which they are not afraid to back with their money. The re-es- tgblishment of the electric hght is 6 standing advertisement of this faith and it is one that every tourist who passes by on the railroad must see, and he will surely remark upon the apparent enterprise and prosperity of such a pro- gressiye city. By all means let US have the electric light again.

A WELL known trade journal remarks
 that no town can be permanently pros
 porous in which the citizens and trades
 men dependent upon each other, do not
 paLronize each other. The merchant
 wants . set of harness, for instance, and
 he imagines he can save fifty cents by
 sending tO another town or state for his harness. The hRrnessmaker sends away for his groceries, boots, shoes and cloth ing. The shoemaker sends for his coat, and the tailor for his boots, and so 1t goes. As R result, the farmers, coming to town to trade, see all the trsdesmen sending to other towns because they can save money by so doing, come to the conclusion that they can do better elsewhere; and then everybody growis about bad times and no business. No wonder! The business men themselves turn the tide of trade elsewhere, for if they can supply themselves to better ad- vantage by depriying their neighbors of their trade, others learn to try the same experiment. It is dangerous one to insuguate, for even if trife can be saved in the purchase of har- ness, pRir of hnnts- Q suit of clothes, a bat, barrel of flour or a yard of calico, ten dollars is lost where one is saved, and then the entire business of the place goes to decay. The fact is they gain nothing but loss in sending away the trade from themselves. Show us a town in which the people make it a rule not to send away for any thing they can get at home. and We will show you R town in which business Is l lively and everybody busy, and trade en- tering from abroad. Prices are low and tradesmen patronize each other, having no suspicion that confidence will be abused. Let 1t once be understood that the business men of any town are ID the habit of sending abroad for their pur- ohases and the business of the town will lsnguish. Having no confidence in each other, how can they expect others to have confidence in them? That's not 1 the way to build up town. Patronize each other and keep all your business at home.-Prescott Courier.

I earnestly entreat citizens by discountenancing law lessness, to prove that Arizonians are yielding obedience to law to furnish the highest test of citizenship. No wrong was ever corrected ny sacrificing right. The peaceful Indians occupy the San Carlos reservation by authority of law, snd the federal government will give them protection.

have been organized, with means
enough to live comfortably, albeit with
enforced economy, they have steadily
gained in public esteem and consequent
usefulness. In prosperity of condition,
number and character of students, and
in results, our agricultural colleges rank
substantially in the order of their age.
The oldest of them have passed the ex-
perimental period and secured strong
hold upon the communities which are
their proper constituents. These views
are also somewhat general; exceptions
exist, mistakes are made by trustees,
by executives, and there are failures to
meet practical needs of different locali-
ties. AS a whole, however, the in
dustrial colleges are gaining yearly. 1t
is pity that so many of them have in
adequate endowment funds, and doubt
less hindrance for them to depend
upon further public grants. When by
their own merits they secure handsome
private requests, as recently in Maine,
independence and prosperity may be
assured.D
