A Washington dispatch. dated Janu- ary lsi, gives the following bit of news concerning an army paymaster who was formerly stationed in Tucson and was well known here:
 The War Department received tele- gram this afternoon announcing the Bb- sconding of Army Paymaster w. II. Smythe, who was on duty at Savannah. He IS supposed to have taken S5,OOO of army funds with hIm. His friends h.Te think that be will turn up after he has sobered UP. and that he has gone on one of his customary sprees. Smythe WIS appointed a Paymsster in the army ahont two yGars ago by the President. who is an intimate personal friend of his father, who was at that time chsIr- man of the Republican State Committee of New York. Soon after he received his commission young Smytbe distin- guished himself by getting on drunk m thIs city, assaultIug several inoffen- sive people, and raising a row generally. He wound up Tn a public station oD a charge of drunkenness and carrying a revolver. He put Tn a plea that re- yOlyer was one of the tools of his trade, to escape paying a fine, but finally had 10 pay. President Arthur said this evening that the government would not l. se anything by the absconding of Smythe, and that if his bondsnlen dId not pay the amount missing he (the President would do SO himself, as he considered 1t personal appointment.

and the great price of fuel Lave worked almost a revolution Tn the copper pro- ducing camps. Many of the most prom ising mines have shut down, and others that would pay with cheap fuel have not been started, the owners cllnglng to their properties in the hope of executive in their behalf m regard to the coal, and the rumor prevails that some Of the best copper mines now be- ing worked, and which, with fuel facill- ties would pay largely, will soon shut down and turn off hundreds of miners. The same argument to a somewhat less extent is applicable to silver, and the the general industries of the Territory are injured to a greater or less extent by being deprived of the only coal beds adapted to the many purposes required.
 To illustrate to some extent the pres ent depression in the mining industry, would submi. that the amount received by this office for office expenses connec- ted with the patentiDg ot mines Las fallen from $500 to Sl,ICO per quarter down to about S300 per quarter ID the last few months. and the general condl- ton of the Territory has suffered meal culably in consequence of the prevail ing dullness In the Territorys prlncipal industry.
 The resuscitation of business m Ar!- zona could be accomplished, l believe,
 by the opening up of these coal fields,
 and I strongly urge upon the present
 administration an act that would bTIng
 such manifold blessings to the people.
 1T the land Is to be restored to the
 public domain, the GIla river would es-
 tablish boundary thst would be an everlasting landmark to the Indians, and
 would leave them for a reserve sufhclent territory for every purpose. The coal
 lands are but barren waste to the eyes of the Indians, except m the hght ot deprIving theIr white brethren or H, when it becomes very valuable. In case tl e segregation of so much land Is not considerei desirable. an east and west line eau be run further south and plainly marked, making far more intel lgent boua. .lary than the present boundary, running with the megnderirgs ot the l CiIla river.
 All Of whioh have the honor to sub
