THERE is a vast amount of newspaper nonsense now current in the eastern press, kindly intended, no doubt, to re- pair the somewhat mlsfit mosaics Of General Crooks military pathway in Arlzona, but which, in reality, add greater humility to that gentleman and further embarrassment to his friends. General Crook has brRvely earned many distinguished laurels, and for his great services to his country he merits the respect of its loyal sId appreciatIve citizens. That he did not meet with brilliant success in the subiugation of the Apache renegsdes is a misfortune which should not detrast anything from the great array of former honors he has earned. In retiring to another field, a graceful forgetfulness of hIs battling against the fates in ArIzona would seem tine proper thing, but columns of mis- statements are poured into the public ear as a sort of apology for his failure. some of which originate with the Gen eral himself, but most Of them, though kindly intended, and written by over
 Jealous defenders, are really more
 damaging than the severest attacks his 9n, mics havs ever made upon him. The latest of this character of damn,ug praise Is contained in En epis,le by
 Joaquin Miller 10 the Chicago Times.
 It k one Of his Sierra ronances, which sails at such n hIgl altitude that ls touches the truth only upon occasional high poInts. Joaquin acquired his Knowledge of the campaign at very long range, and consequently can discuss every feature tO the satisfaction of himself, but when he endeavors to make 1t appear that General Crook sole object in hunting down the hostIIes was to bring them "ssfe back 10 the reservBtion,' he exhibits a fatal kind ness to the General. General Crook ls- DO longer h command of this depGI. ment, and wi,h hIs departure he CIrI- ZEN has desired to let drop forever any words of harsh criticism his oflicisl acts while here merited, and it has rt straIned every expression which might be construed into words of ccnsure. But when his friends attempt C. lay the blame of his failure upon ths heads of the people and the press Of Arizona, We are up in arms in tbeIr de- fense. His last campaign against the hostiles was frutless of results, and thIs is the Diidest judgment that can be against II.

He IS a political millstone hanging around the neck of his party, helpIug to drown it. Then MT. Whitney, the Secretary of the Navy, IS an elegant gentlemen of leisure. and won't attend to his business at all, while Mir. Endi. colt Is a mere dummy or figure head as Secretary of War. Mr. Vilas's only claim to distinction lies n his labors to make the postal department a source Of revenue to the government, instead an accommodation t. the people, and in so doing he has impaired the service al moss i'eyond possibility of reformation, and denied the people of remote settle ments the mail facilities winch they have so long enjoyed and appreciate. These are all useless advisers Of en inexperi- ence aod incapable president-a mere bookkeeper. The result will be a stranded democratic party and Q very unsatisfactory condition Of government tai affairs.

Copp's Lists of Patented Mines

Henry N. Copp, the land and mining lawyer Of Washington, has issued book of 150 pages, which gives lists of about 10000 mines patented by the United States up to January. 1886. These lists are arranged by States and Territories, and hereunder by counties and districts. IL also gives instructions for the restora- tion of lost md oblitersied corner of the public snrveys.
 This publication IS an added evide nee of Mr. Copp's industry, and will. wI;hcut doubt, be in every mine owners lbrary. In it We observe the names O: many of our wealthy and enterprising citizens. Parties contemplating the purchase of s mine can now readily determine # it has been patented. The purchase of unpatented mines is risky business as law suits are frequently purchased at the same ume. The look sells for Eisy cents, and csn be had throughthe news dealers and of the publisher.

HE arrival of very large quantity of railroal materials for the construction Of the Narrow Gauge railroad gives tangible evidence that we are to have thIs highly important transportation route built at once. There have been so very many newspaper railroads made 10 grldiron Arizona during the pest few years that the people are ex- cusable fo. their lack of faith ID the actual construction of road, even when circumstances seem to make 1t reasonably sure. In the present in stance they have the graiity ing sssur- apce of the actual construction of the road, and therefore any lingering reser- yation of doubt is dispelled. The road will reach the San Pedro river by the early fall months, and Will make a new years call on our neighbors in Globe and Florence.

WHILE nearly every railroad of prom I1snce east of the Rocky mountains has been more or less troubled with strikes. I is quits noticeable that the South s,1 Pacific Is entirely exempt from them.
