BARRING four exceedingly cold and dis agreeable winter months and like num- Der of sultry summer months, the clI- mate of almost all of the northern states east of the Rocky mountains is well adapted to the comfort and happiness of mankind. Eight months of the year possess so many disagreeable features that all who can afford to do so seek more congenial climate, and the moun- tains and lakes of the north extend to them a cordial hospitality in summer while the balmy south welcomes them in winter. This actual and indisputable condition of natures memorable man dates Is in strange and striking contrast wit its precious favors to the suD-kissed land of Arizona, where climatic perfec- ton exists for eight months of the year and the four remaining months are In nowise oppressive nor disagreeable. The average temperature of the entire year is extremely pleasant with ns and the pure, dry and invigorating atmosphere always brings joy and gladness alike to the strong and the feeble. The contrast is so greatly in our favor that even con servative representation of the facts seem like gross exaggeration to one who has never experienced the wide differences that exist. This is the home of the in valid, where health can be successfully wooed back and wealth recompensec the least amount of toll; where every con dition of happiness and enjoyment of life and perfect health thrives without the numerous thorns of evil that else where exist. Wien these truths become more widely known the tide of immigration will flow this way in a strong and un- ceasing current until every habitable DOT ton of our land of bright sunshine Is made to contribute to the health and prosperity of numerous and glad peo- pie.

Bad Methods in Mining.

From the Mining and Scientific Press.
 Numerous are the complaints made of money lost in mining ventures and ln- vestments. Though frequent and heard d on every hand, a majority of these com- plaints, we regret to say, are well found ed. But not 80 generally nor yet so well are the causes of these losses understood. Tn assuming, as IS so often done, that the fault lies wholly with the mines, grand mistake is made. In a large majority of eases these losses are due to other and wholly eXtraneous causes, as becomes readily apparent when we consider the manner in which this business is usually managed, it being something after this fashion: A party having bond on a mine somewhere in the West appears ln St. Louis, Chicago, New York or other Eastern city, and there attempts to nego- tiate sale of the property, ot which he has an elaborate and well-written, Ii not altogether reliable, report.
 With the aid of middle-man he sue ceeds, let us suppose, in forming a com pany to buy tie mine, provided It pears out on further inspection the representa- tions of the vendor. This company ln- tend, may be, to keep their purchase ana work it for the expected profits It Will yield, or, more likely, calculate to n- corporate with large number Of shares place them on the market. But, what ever their purpose, a favorable report must first be had on the mine, to which end an expert is engaged and sent to ex- l anime 1t.
 And right here is where these com panies are apt to blunder fatally, m that they make choice of an expert not in a | respects thoroughly qualified for per forming the duty assigned him. Where in lie may be lacking we will not hert undertake to specifically point out Suffice it to say, these professionals art i'll most cases deficient m one or more essential particulars. Without imputin! to them any mercenary purpose, specla weakness or besetting sin, 1t may be sal' that they are too often wanting Ill tha practical knowledge and painstaklns care without which no one can be sat adviser in matters of this kind. It IS no enough that an expert should be goot judge of ores, estimating thelr quantit.. very closely and understanding thel proper modes or treatment. He shoul' be able to comprehend as well all tn conditions bearing on a mine, favora bl and unfavorable, and to so explain tn same that they may have due weight Il forming business calculation. And ye this is what but few experts ever do o are capable of doing. and thus their em ployers, trusting to their advice, are CT often misled at the start.
 Having begun wrong, these companie are very apt to continue wrong; as the usually err in their choice of an expert so do they just as often err in their choic of mine superintendent, selecting, ir stead of tried and experienced mar one having little or no practical acquaint ance with the business. The outcome what might be expected--difficulties, dis appointments and final loss of tn money invested.

David C. Meacon is the lucky man that held one- tenth of ticket No. 69, 368 which drew the Second Capital Prize of $50, ,000, from the monthly drawing of The Louis jana State Lottery, Nov 8th. It was hls first venture, and comes as a God-send to Mr. Meacon as he was depending on his daily labor to support his family. His former residence was in PIttsburg The night before he was to ship his house hold goods to this place a fire occurred and burned everything. He is a worthy and exemplary man.-Elwood Qnd.

The Territorial Prison.

The economical and successful manage mont of public inatit~tion, is % TOTO ir our day that the Sentinel takes pleas ure in calling the attention of ts readers to the wise administration of affairs at the Territorial Prison. Ever since the new management has taken hold, the ex- penses have steadily decreased and that in the face of constant building and inn provements. The expenditures have de- creased from quarter to quarter, and the policy of the Commissioners seems to be one of careful economy The expenses for the third quarter of 1887, amounted to $10, ,944 02, with an average of 1O6 prisioners on hand, the cost of the fourth quarter, S10, ,956 65 with an average of l25 prisoners OH hand. These figures speak for themselves and the best argu- ment which can oe made to please the tlx payer is that of saving expense in the administration of public affairs. The Territorial Prison Commissioners aided by the efficient officers of the prison are to be congrat ulated upon the magnificent record they have made III their admins tration and the Sentinel hopes that the good work will continue.

IN almost every direction surrounding Florence land is being cleared and put in condition for crops, and the indica- tions are that the coming season will wit ness an increase of cultivated land fully double that titled last year. This rapid advancement is in no sense ''boom" but it is legitimate growth that represents the individual efforts of sagacious settlers who are building up homes. The specu. lator has not yet gained foothold ill this valley and it's prosperity IS based solely upon merits.

The rate of taxation is lower than that of any other county in the Territory and it's ti- nancial affairs will hereafter be conduct ed upon cash basis. The property val uation is constantly approaching and augmenting and with the careful man. agement in the future that has character ized it in the past, the rate of taxation will soon be greatly lessened.

It is reported that operations on the Citrus Belt canal, down the Gila, have been temporarily interrupted on account of the action of the federal officials in ar resting the contractor on a charge of tres passing upon an Indian reservation. It seems that the head of the canal skirts the presidential reservation in that section, but as the reporter is informed will prove more of a benefit than an injury Aside from this it is claimed that the projectors of the canal had permission of right of way from the secretary of the interior across the reservation, but it is held that such privilege must emanate from con- gress. It is very much to be regretted than an enterprise of vital importance like this one should be hindered by a mistaken idea, and that few Indians are permitted to interrupt the progress of Central Arizona, particularly as there are no just reasons why they should be To- cated at the place in question. The present difficulties it is to he hoped will speedily be overcome and the good work permitted to proceed -Arizonan

Mines and Newspapers.

The papers in all mining districts are urging miners to contribute mining items for pu blication in their local columns. Miners should heed these appeals, for if they look over the Denver dailies as also the mining papers of San Francisco, St. Louis, Chicago, and New York, they will find that the majority of the mining items appearing in their local newspapers are copied in metropolitan papers. The miner should understand that although his local newspaper may possible have somewhat of limited circulation, it has also an exchange list, which gives a med ium through which well written articles can reach thousands of readers all over the world. Support your home paper whether you dislike its editor or not even if you do not fancy it's appearance The press is friendly to the mining interests without regard to locality, and no charg- es are made for publishing facts about the progress of mining enterprises Don't expect the editor to take greater interest in your welfare than you do yourself; though as general thing editors do
 Mining items ought to originate with the miner, leaving the paper the simple task of publishing them. Register Call.

Life at Santa Barbara is mostly an out door one. Up to the present time the decrees of fashion have not begun to re- strict and restrain one, and as result tho resident is free to do as he pleases. In no other village in America is housekeep- ing reduced to such a minimum of care as Santa Barbara. The open hospitality of the people is proverbial. Friends 'drop in' to luncheon without invita- ton and as matter of course. Conven- tional rules are observed, to be sure, but do not restrict one in his enjoyment. People live quietly. Nature compels plocidity of temperament and invites good will and pleasure. e.-Harper's Maga zine.
