WHEAT FROM ARIZONA.

little item has been published ID
 several of the coast papers recently
 which, though of an extraordinary na-
 ture, seems so far to have escaped com
 ment. It was to the effect that 800 tons
 of wheat had been shipped from the
 Salt river valley. Arizona, to Liverpool.
 The generally accepted notion beng
 that Arizona is about equally divided
 between sandy deserts and sterile noun
 tain ranges. offering scsnt inducements
 to tillers of the soil, 1t certainly affords
 food for astonishmeDt that it should
 have entered the field ss a wheat eI-
 porter. But the explanation IS simple
 As with that vast extent of territory years ago called the great America des-
 ert," the soil of much of Arizona is by no means destitute of fructifyIng quali-
 ties, but only needs Iudicious treatment
 and cultivation to rival any part of the world in its agricultural development. Taking the hint, probably, from the still traceable remains of a vast irrigs- ton system planned and carried to per
 lection by some prehistoric race Of many centuries past, a number of canals, not excelled in size by any constructed for similar purpose in the United States, have been built, by which the wsters of the Gila ard Salt rivers have been turn ed on thousands of acres of desert land, and numerous thriving settlements have sprung up along their course In sections hitherto given over entirely to the cac
 tus and the horned toad. Rendered thus independent of the scsnt annual rainfall of the Territory, amazing crops of the cereals, vegetables and all kinds of fruit are raised, and, as IS shown, in years like the present, when the Cal lfornis farmer, depending on the raips for his crop, meets with disappointment, the Arizona grain grower has enough and to spare. That grain can be profit ably grown by irrigation has been shown so often in this as well as other countries as to need no argument.
 It is probable that the development of the Southwestern country III this di- rection has just begun and that results will yet be reached in that section rival ing any other part of the slope. The Colorado river is bordered on either side by lands just as capable of cultiva- tion as the valleys of the Salt and Gils rivers. A small attempt has been made to utilize its waters for irrigation, and with success. With the growing de- msnd for farming land, and ss the sup ply becomes yearly more restricted, there will beyond doubt, come a time when capital will turn the lfe-giving stream of the Colorado upon the soil along its banks, and much of the far 'smed and much-dresded Colorado des- srt will lose its old-time character for ,ver. When it is borne in mind that ruits and all kinds of vegetable growth l

THE miners of Harshaw and the camps whereabouts are showing the road to prosperity and are undermining the bugbesr of hard times by pluck and intelligently directed energy. They have concluded that life is too short to await the sale of ten foot prospect hole for the price of @ developed mine. and have gone to work taking ont ore for shipment. The result is that money is easy with them and large proportion of them are accommodating snug bank accounts. The success of few venture some ones has inspired others and now that vicinity presents busy scene of mining activity. They have struck the keynote of prosperity and solved the problem of hard times, and it is hoped that their example will be the means of putting good money into the pockets of the vast number of deserving miners whose brawny muscle alone can unearth the treasure of the eternal hills.s

THE last days of Gen. Grant are be- ing made more miserable, if possible, by charging the dying soldiers mind with the gloomy subjects of his burial and the plans for his famIly's future after his funeral. The meddling friends are cheering him up with anticipations of the happy and prosperous times his fam fly will enjoy so soon as he will consid- srately shuttle off the coil Ex-Senator Chsffee IS counseling the General in the disposition of his worldly goods, and has obtained his consent to have min iature copies of the bust of Grant made m bronze and terra cotta, which will be hswked about the country, ostensibly for the benefit of his grown up sonswho ought to be able to care for themselves, and for his distinguished widow. The profits of his book has been a matter under con- siderstion and his whole attention has been directed towards the sordid dross of earth, instead of leaving his last hours Co that calm meditation which should close his busy life: He is further an- noyed by the apparent motive of MT. DreIel in offering him his lovely cottage at Nit McGregor. Large handbills and showy posters have been circulated iD all resorts and watering places, using the name of the stricken hero as sn attrac- ton to draw them to Mt. McGregor, and thousands of idle and staring visitors now impertinently give him sufficient annoyance to distract a well person
 His place of burial and the manner of his funeral have not been fully discussed with him yet, but his attention has been drawn to the comforts and advan- tsges of several rival cemeteries, while numerous private burial plsts have been rendered him with the compliments a various dear friends. It really seems . crime to add to the torments of the disease and the regrets at the final
 parting with those whom he has loved 90 long and so dearly. His profession, Co be sure, was war, but he should st least be permitted to die in peace.

Ore Shipments.
INnclles FrontierI


 Two car loads of ore from the Nor risOn mIne, consigned to the Pueblo Works passed north on Tuesday. There are twenty five tons of ore at CarbO Station from San Geronimo mine awaiting shipment to the Benson Reduc- tiOn Works.
 We stated in our last issue that the Nina Grande was making regular ship ments of ore. We have since learned that We were mistaken, as the Nina Grarde mill IS running and crushing all the ore taken from the mine. The Gringo mine intends to increase their shipments from twoto four car loads per week.
 Two car loads of ore from the famous Zubiate mine destined for Denver, are expected this week.
 The St. Helena mIne will ship four car loads of ore to the Pueblo Reduction Works, this week.

GEN. PoPE says, "Is there any man
 who can blame the Indians for taking
 what be needs rather than stsrve ID
 the sight of abundance, and when the
 government stands pledged to him for
 his subsistence" In the great moral
 city of Boston, or the wonderful me-
 tropolis of New York, should the pinch ing hunger of young scapegrace impel hIm to take from another's plenty enough to satisfy the cravings of re- morseless appetite, his liberty pays the penalty of the crime. If an able bodied Indian gets cheated out of two-thiIds of the rations given hIm by the government, through the venality of military or other government officers, and, instead of using the arms and ammunition,g given him by the government, to hunt the game that has always been his main support, be goes beyond the boundaries of the broad domain allotted him, and takes the horses and cattle of the In- dustrious settler, why, who can blame him for taking what he wants? General Pope thinks he is without guile. Possi- bly, he also wants few scalps, and what man can blame him? Gen. Pope can't. The priscipal occupation of some civil and military dignitaries just now seems to be to apologize for Geronimo. They want to offer some excuse for the mur- iers this band has committed, and to show how very innocent they are of any crime. We can here say that the course being pursued by this Fenimore Cooper class of fanatics is leading up to a bloody of peaceable us well as the hostile Indians by the people of who are laughed at when their families are murdered, outraged and tortured, and treated with scorn when they ask for protection.

The campaign against the Apaches in Mexico is being carried on with a delib- eration which bids fair to to allow of the escape of three-quarters of the hos tiles who have lei. their bloody trail throughout New Mexico. Captain Crawford is in command of one body of troops, and the net result of hls work thus far has been the bllling of one h. dian and the capture of fifteen women and children. How a small band of h. di6us succeeded in escaping from large force Cf troops is not explained. The capture of the squags and children will not worry The bucks much. as they know the captives will be better fed and cared for than with them, and that Crook will not allow a hair of their heads to be injured. IL will be interest ing when the Apache campaign Is final ly at sn end to estimate how much money has been expended to kill of every Indian of whose death there Is any good evidence. IL will certainly make very respectable sum.-S. F.. Chronicle.

 IF the friends of Hon. q. H. Oury do not wart to see bis really good efforts at Washington ridiculed by an alleged Democratic newspaper, they should labor with the Star, that damns him with such faint praise. That paper thinks that if he ''does not accomplish the object sought, it will not be for lack of persistent and well directed efforts.n and it then summarizes his Iabors by saying that lon Tuesday he filed with the Commissioner of Indian Affairs a letter embodying the situation and sen- timents of the people in this territory" Justice to MT. Oury impels us to say that he is doing all in hls power to fur ther the object of his mission 10 Wash iDgton, and beside filing" long letter that will probably be read only in per. functory manner by some department clerk. he has personally brought these matters to the attention uf the proper officials and is zealously urging imme- diats action on those portions that do not necessarily require special congres- sional legislation.

WE desire to accord full credit to Hon G. H. Oury for his efforts to prop erly place before the government off, cisls the status of the Indian question in Arizona. He is exhibiting commend able energy in the matter, even though he may fail in bringing about the re- suits hoped for. Perhaps if his own political aspirations could be laid aside, he might Importune the officials with a persistency that would force the imme- diste consideration of the demands of our people, just to get rid of him.

Unconfrmed news is received O! the discovery of some fabulously rich dry-plscers in Sonora, about three hun dred miles from Tucson and toward the Gulf of California. The exact location is know. only to few Mexicans who, as is the case invariably, had run short of provisions just as they reached the Fl Dorado. A portion of the mine was worked many years ago, but its exact To- cation has since then been lost. The new discoyerers want some one to put up two or three months supplies and they will go and fully explore the new discovery.

THOSE Mexican editors now enjoying 8 tour through the United States are men of extreme wisdom. They timed their visit to just escape participation in the revolutionary demonstrations in Mexico and possibly many of them thereby escape being sent to Yucstsn ID company with those who went not es- tray in the palace car. The trouble will be ended by the time they return to their svocstions and they will have the rare experience of reasoning from re- suits rather than fromcsuses.

Mexico Will seIIUsAFew States,

A Washington special says: "It Is known here that letters favorIng the acquisition of more Mexican territory have been showered upon the President and Secretary Bsyard. There Is also a report that President DiaZ has sent a secret ambassador here to ascertain the views of the administration Un the subject. The most popular of the plans put forward IS for the purchase of Tam aulispas, Nuevs Leon, Coahuila, Chi huahua, Sonora and Lower California.
 The value of the territory comprised in the above SIX States is estimated at from Sl00,OO0.OO0 to S300,0O0,OO0. A second scheme provides for the sale of Sonora, Sinaloa and Lower Calitor- nia only. The third project, and the one being pushed on the attention of the Administration by the American projectors of the Tehuartepec Railroad. IS the requirement of strip of land fifty miles wide across the Isthmus of Tehusntepec and enough land at Cape Catoche, Yucatan, for the construction of ports. It is thought that this cession could be obtained for S50,000,0O0. With FlorIda, Cuba and Cape Catoche in possession of the United States, they there would be complete protection to the approaches of the Mississippi river and the Southern Gulf Coast.
 MASS MEETING FOR ANNEXATION.
 The Denver Tribune Republican Santa Fe special says: "A call for mass meeting in favor of the purchase and annexation of the northern tier states of Mexico appears in to-day's Re- view, over the signatures of about one hundred representative Spanish-Amer- jeans of both countries. The plan con- templates the sending by our govern ment of a commission of leading states men to treat with the government of Mexico for the purchase of the States of Chihuahua, Sonora. Durango and Coahuila. It is claimed that the idle millions in the treasury can be put to no better use, as these States are among the most valuable of the Repub- lie of Mexico, and could be had on very reasonable terms"
