 WAsHISGroS, Oct. 21.-Hon. O. Meye Zulick, governor Ot Arizona, in his an
 nual report to the Secretary of the In
 terior, refers briefly to the Apache trou
 blcs m that territory and says with th
 removal of these renegsdes he sees tn dawn of a new day for Arizons He rapid development will now go on with ou; check or drawbacks.
 The governor referring to the Sai CaIlOs Indian reservation, ssys: "I
 contains 2,52S,0O0 acres of land, vel
 HAtered and well tImbered. most O
 which IS as good as any agriculture
 land in the territory. Upon this tract ar,
 gathered together about $500 Indians
 so that each Indian, male and female
 young and old. holds over 700 acres O
 land. IL would be well for congress [,
 parcel out the land, giving to each hesC
 of family GAO acres, or if this is deemeC
 premature, then congress should tax,
 a measure to reduce the reservation tC
 ns Aooot uoll lt5 present nmltt.
 The governor recommends that tho
 lands of the Atlantic 6 Pacific railroad company be surveyed at the earliest
 possible moment in order that they may
 be listed for county and territorial tax atlon.
 On the subject of desert lands and ir,
 rigAtion. the governor says AriZops con. tains nearly ll5,GOO square miles or about I2O.OOO.OOO acres of land. About SO.OOOOOO acres are utilized for stock raising and upon it grsze nearly lOO.UOO head of cattle, more than 6 mil lion sheep besides other domestic ani- malls. Nutritious grass grows every where and could the balance of the land adopted to grazing be utilized for that purpose, this would become the greatest stock raising country in the United | States, But the want of water is the only drawback to it's occupation and de- velopment. For the most part these lauds lie SO that water reservoirs can be | constructed to preserve the waters from the rains of summer and the melting snows of winter for the use of herds of cattle and other stock. The remaining 36,OOO,OOO of acres winch are mineral and agricultural, two-thirds are arabic Could they be irrigated. of these, 1000 0OO of acres eau be reclaimed by a iudicious appropriation and distribution of the present water supply.
 The governor requests that congrt ss be asked to demonstrate a scientific survey and practical test. the feasibility of artesian wells for giving a needed supply of water and adds: Around Denver wells irrigates from forty to fifty acres. If half as good results could be obtained Tn ArZons, We could produce wine, rHIsins. fruits, nuts and olives enough to support in sffiuence popula- ton 2,OO0OOO"
 The governor m conclusion predicts that the Apsches removed, the territory will double in population and resources within the next two years.
