Daniel Murphy writes from Gila Bend to Thos. R. Grange and Frank w. Welcome as follows: I have word from Judge Barnes, of Tucson, that the money is all ready to build the ca nal as soon as Judge Barnes and I sign the deed to the canal and one half the townsite, and one-half the mines, as we have agreed to do. The mines are very rich, assaying $500 to the ton, and of course this is great inducement to parties furnishing mon ey. This country here is q perfect gold field of placer mining. kHow one party now who is washing out $2O every day, and I have the selling of this property, and also the custom CT for it. Of course this will bring people here. probably ten to one who went to California in '49. I am going to put place into oranges and raisin grapes, the profits from which will be $1000 per acre.

WE must take issue with the Citi- zen in its interpretation ot the law re- garding the payment of the expenses of bringing fugitives from justice back to the Territory. The making of.a re- quisition for fugitive necessarily i'm plies an expense in its execution, and the section of the revised statutes quoted by the Citizen is modified by another section which leaves no dis cretion to the executive in the premis- es and says such expenses SHALL be paid by the Territory. As before stated, we candidly admit that in the case of Judge Stiles no harm resulted, but we deny the right of the governor to im- pose such conditions upon mere yer bal assurances that the fugitive will voluntarily return. He is not justi- fed in assuming such risk of defeat ing the ends of justice. If he feels satisfied that the party will return there can be no necessity of issuing a acquisition and he will be as fully jus tified in denying it as to make it in- operative by imposing stultifying con- ditions.

The Etta Fam.

The above named dam, constructed for the purpose of raising the Verde river to supply water to the Etta mill, two miles below, was finished last Sat- urday. All the gates were closed, and for the first time there was nc Verde river running below. No leaks were to be seen, and the works were all pronounced first class in every respect. To relieve the pressure ard prevent the river from flowing over the dam, a sluice way with two gates is built in the middle of the river. The gates shut sufficient to send water enough down the ditch to supply the mill. There was used Tn the construction of the<dam 13,S62 feet of lumber, 265 tons of rock, 15,000 cubic yards of gravel, 5,000 cubic yards of sand, four loads of hay, 562 bags filled with sand. and 3I5 tons of bouIders. All the timbers are bolted together with iron bolts The dam is large and high enough to hold the eBtire water 1T the river for five hours. backing the Eater one mile and three-quartcrs. The di- mensions are as follows: From west bank to head gate 62 feet. From head gate to west side of sluice way, 102 feet. From east side of sluice way to abutment, 82 feet. Head gates l2 feet wide. Sluice way 10 feet. Total dis tance from bank 10 bank 9GS feet, Three months time was occupied in building dam and repairing di;ch and mill The contract called for the completion of the work on tic iith of October MT.

 Secretary Murphy Boasts of Her Resour- ces-The Political Situation.

Hon. N. o, Murphy, secretary of Arizona, is Tn the city In speaking with a Star reporter of affairs in his territory MT. Murphy said: "The out look for prosperity ip Arizona has nev- CT been brighter. The output of precious metals will be larger this year than ever before, and according to the as- sessment rolls the property of the ter ritory has increased something over $2 100000 during the last twelve months. The principal agricultural valleys are attracting widespread at tention, not only for the variety but quantity of their products. The fruit season in the southern valleys of Ari- zona is earlier even than in southern California, and the quality of the fruit most excellent. Apricots, peaches, pears, grapes, strawberries raspberries, blackberries, apples, &c, grow in abundance, and successful experiments have proven that orange culture will be profitable. The Salt rlver valley is the great valley of the territory, and it is asserted, l think truthfully, that this valley can be made to produce more to the acre and a greater varietA of product than any like quantity of land in America. When the railroads now being projected in Arizona are completed, bringing communities clos CT together commercially and furnish ing cheaper and better facilities for home consumption as we'll as export then Arizona will successfully com pete with any other commonwealth in the Union. and it will not be long be. fore these results will be accomplished
 "How about the political situation? the reporter asked.
 "1t is somewhat disturbed at present Both parties are struggling for supre macy; few local dissensions have arisen over the distribution of the offices incident to change of admin. istration; yet, after a little time I am satisfied these matters will adjust themselves and everything settle down ] harmoniously"
 "How about Arizona's chances fol statehood?"
 "That is for Congress to say. The people of the territory are divided a, to the method to pursue in obtaining admission, although our people vii ask to be let into the Union at no yer, distant day. have no doubt, anC when the request is granted we will bt fully prepared."-Wa Even ing Star.

Notice to the Public.

That the public may not be deceived by false statements, hereby give pub lie notice that all present and current legal demands for the support of the various public institutions, including superintendent or all other employees as passed by the old or Zulick Board are, upon presentation, audited by Auditor Hughes and have been so audited since July last. When there is money in the treasury to the credit of the fund against which the warrant is drawn it IS paid in cash when there Is no money the treasurer endorses the warrant and 1t draws interest from the date, exactly as has been done for two years past.
 The cry that the wheels of business are being blocked, or that there is any just cause for the depreciation in Ter ritorial warrants, Is false and done by interruptions persons for their own vicious ends. There is no just reason why Territorial warrants should be deprecated. The Territory receives its funds in January, February and March and that has always been the season for redemption of warrants The Territory's resources and ability to pay are better to-day than they ever were, So again I say, do not allow vicious misrepresentations to affect your judgment as to the value of you warrants. They are as good to-day a' they ever were, and you will get you money just as soon as you would hay, done had there been no change of ad ministration.

An Inceudiary's Work.

Last night car standing just east of the depot, by some means (supPos- ed to be incendiarism) caught fire and burned with it's entire contents, con sisting of general merchandise. The reprobate also set fire to another car about 100 yards further east and a house belonging to G. 4. Woods. Tie two latter, however, were seen in time to he put out before the fire had done any damage. It seems as though Flagstaff is accursed in.the way of fires and the surest remedy is for the cit izens to secure a good night patrol, one who will attend strictly to his business and catch some of these wretches and make an example of them-Flagstaf Democrat.

THE absconding treasurer of the territorial prison commission, George IT. Stevens, abandoned his wife and children in his nasty search for health along the northern coast. The gam ing table and lewd associates were his ruin and he seemed to possess a nat ural propensity for vice, and his gravi- tation to his present condition of a fugitive from justice is the natural sequence of his career. We cannot dismiss the belief that in some of the ctookedness charged against him he has been the willing tool of equally interruptions but more sagacious men who have profited largely by his man Spplations.

THE Prescott Courier intimates that the estate of the late Chas. W. Beach will leave his widow very httle when it is finally settled. It was stated by a San Francisco paper recently, upon authority of son of Mir Beach, that m inventory of the estate would in- clude large cash sum in the bank bonds of the Prescott & Arizona Gen. tral railway; several valuable stock ranches in Arizona and Texas, and a large herd of cattle. If this state ment is even partly true it would indi- cate that the family is we'll provided for.

WE would like to know just how much of the compliments those Prescott editors are now exchanging they actually believe to be true. They have not yet accused each other of having robbed Paymaster Wham nor Of holding up the A. < P railroad trairs, but they are making pretty fair cases against one another of being very bad men, morally, physically and Financially, and Yavapai county is apparently too small to contain two such characters.

Four months will be con stunned in gathering the data and sub iects of illustration and the work will treat the subject in 8 thorough man. ner.

IN mining country like Arizona

IN mining country like Arizona the poor prospector is one of the prominent agencies of development, whose importance is often under-esti- mated. Enduring hsrdships and pri- vations that only those who have ex- perienced them can realize, they toil on in their search for the precious metals and when they succeed in find ing Il promising lode their task is but just begun. For days, months and perhaps years they delve down into the f1inty rocks, following the seams of ore until they can display sufficient quantities of wealth to tempt the cap itIlist to purchase their claim for half its actual value, and then they turn around and with lavish generosity, put their hard-earned wealth into gen. eral circulation. After all the stern lessons of toll and privations they sell dom hoard the sudden wealth that sooner or later comes to them, but af- ter getting "square" with the world in the payment of sundry long stand ing accounts, they divide the remain der freely among their friends and a little later on begin anew. There are many noble hearts beating beneath the rough miners jacket, and there is often degree of honor, candor, intel ligence and perfect manhood amongst them that is worthy of our deepest re
 spect, but which is seldom appreciated without the accompanying grace of { plethoric bank account. All honor tC
