The coming of the University of Ari- zona, to thIs city, has given an impetus to popular education heretofore unknown in this Territory. This IS especially manifest in the Public Schools of Phepix, Florence and Tucson. Never hasIthere been so determined an effort in each of these centers to make their schools first class as this year, and Mar icopa County with commendsble zeal IS vigorously pushing the completion of the Normal school building at Tempe. Not to be second in the work of prepsr- ing students for the University the Gregory Institute last fall organized n Collegiate or Preparatory Departmen mt for young gentlemen and ladies who

 EDITOR sCITIzES: Inasmuch as the CITIZEN IS and has been the true ex- p1nent of Arizona's interest for sixteen years, and Is widely circulated and read, I, there ore, avail myself of its columns, to say few words of general interest to your readers. It Is reported here, that the friendly Indians, ''the hewers of wood and drawers of water" at San Car- los, are apprebending visit from their enemy, the Chiricahuas, in order to re- possess themselves of their squsws, who have been recently placed there by or ders of Gen. Crook, who is gs full Of ex- pedients as 6n egg Is of meat, and as ofteptimes added. That they will pay the agency g visit seems to be unques- tioned and Is SO believed by both whites and Indians who have been armed and placed on the outskirts, upon the hllls, with g view of giving timely warning, tLs ChiTicahuas have been there before. in 1882, V hen they surrounded Loco s cannp killed chief of scouts Sterling and were only prevented from attacking and sacking the agency buildings bE Loco. and others, who, to the number oi seventy or eighty, accompanied them on their return to the Sierra MadTes. The mining interests within the past two months are vastly more encouraging than for Iaany months past, conseque1t- lv- those owning mines and prospects are buoy8ntly hopeful.

CHICAGO parties have been at Flor ence looking over the route of the pro- posed lrrigating canal south of the GIla river. They expressed surprise that such a grand enterprise had renamed so long undeveloped, and they will at once begin the work of excavating for the great canal. The water will be taken from tLe Gila river at Butte. where dam can be easily and cheaply constructed across the narrow bno rocky channel. The water can be con ducted over the broad and fertile mesa that extends from the river to sar be yond Casa Graude, and l. viii bring @ great many thousand acres under a proper condition for cultivation. There Is DO better fruit land in the world than the section through which this canal will pass, and at one time, during the ages past whose history is still ua.e- corded, and can only be conjeCtured from the few evidences that time has failed to obliterate, a prosperous and highly civilized people dwels upon tbis land and cultivated 1t. The ruins of the old canal are yet 10 be seen and occs- slonal reservoirs indicate that wat was stored at convenient points for commu- nifty uses. The old canal was con structed with mathematical precision, being a perfectly straight line with a uniform grade, sl wing the work oi skillful engineer. Who those peo pie were and tho fate that swept them from the face of the earth, are still subjects for the arcbeoiogist to fathom. The spade of the explorer has brought to light many evidences of wonderful skill in the arts. some ot which exhibit sn intricacy of workmanship, beauty of design and harmony of color that would elIcit the admiration of the most ad- vanced artisans of the present day. These evidences oI former grandeur lend 0 deeper interest to this land of wonders, and when American enterprise shall have reclaimed the desert wastes and created anew a semblance of their former life and activity, there will come to the reflective mind the question if the tune will come when the history of that land will he repeated, and the bright homes created through our generations will some day give way to a mightier power, and desolstion, decay aad obliv- ion excite the wonder of a future people even as our own is excited.

THE distortive proclamation of Gov. Zulick, of Arizona, IS an outrage upon the people of that Territory, that noih- ing he can do in the future will atone for. The fortitude with which the peo- pie there have stood the prosecutions and butcheriDg of the Apaches m tbe past does not warrant that tendertoot dude, with his name parted in the mid dle, in stigmstizing them as outlaws. It is very evident from the commotion created that the United States will pro sect its Indians, if not its citizens. It is believed that the all-powerful Indian ring that has robbed both Indians and the government, has been working upon C. Meyer Zulick. In any event he has made a complete fool of himself, and If he possesses the sense of school boy he will favor the people by sending ln his resignation. He is not wanted there any longer; he is not m sympathy with the people.-Silver City Enterprise.
