Especial Correspondencsl


 Florence being the county seat of Pinal and one of the oldest towns in the We find fiourishing and prosperous con- dItion of affairs. A more through and courtious class of business and pro- fessional men cannot be found any where. Improvements are constantly on hand and building is particularly active. Several new stores are going up besides many new residences and We also note with pleasure the magnifi- cent court house now being erected un- der the supervision of Capt Doran. Some S4O,OOO will be spent on the build ing and 1t not only does great credit to the town and county but to the whole Territory of Arizona. The people of Florence can feel justly proud ever the accomplishment of this work. Four whole squares besides two streets will be taken up by the buildings and grounds. Facing on Church St and being almost in the center of town it is much con- veintly located. The principal business portion of Florence is composed of the PinaL County Bank, six large general merchandise store~, twenty smaller mer- chandise stores, two large livery stables and several corrslls, one first class hotel, several boarding houses where good board can be had at S6 per week. several fruit stores, two jewelry stores, one drug store, one book and stationary store, a free library, one weekly newspaper, the Enterprise, E. R. and G. W. Brown, props. The Enterprise is one of the most influential papers in the Territory. and probably the most extensively quoted of any. A stage company office with Mir. Guild, very popular agent in charge, a furniture store, several saloons, one ice company and two butcher shops.

THE ColeopJcrous fauna of Arizona is of great interest to all entomologists ana our collection of the past season will yield much new material and some spe- cies as yet unknown to science. That part of the eastern museums which con tain the insects of this territory shows the richest colors and greatest variety of form of all the departments, and conse- quently beetles from Arizona are in great demand among lovers of these creatures.
 The different counties of this great territory yield different species and var iet:es of insects, and to practiced eye tho difference. between collection made in the northern part and one from the southern is very apparent. This IS due chiefly to the fact that the northern part is much more elevated and the flora or plant life is quite different in some respects,
 In the vicinity of Yuma are found some very handsome beetles which live on the willows along the river bottom. One of these is a great 'snapping buzz" blue with a cream colored border, and nearly two inches long. Another is an elegant ''Longhorn" or ''Ceraulbycid" variegated with black and yellow. the | males of which have autennot twice as long as the body, A beautiful tiger beetle of green-gold color with two yellow spots on its back, dwells in wet places under logs and stones.
 Coming out of the valley of the Colo rado, at Gila Bend are found number of little beetles belong ing to the same family as our eastern June bug" so familiar to all who have ever spent a spring in the states. Some large, black TENEBRIoNIDAE, known To- caIly as "Circus-bugs come out appar- entity to enjoy the rain, and along the valley of the Gila river are hundreds of little beetles known to naturalists as OMoPHRoN GILAE which is confined in its range to this region.
 The beetles of Tucson are of equal in- terest to those of other parts, and now that the rains have moistened the ground they are out in force. In the morning We may see numbers of large green beetle with the sides of the elytry or wing covers yellowish-brOwn. This is called ALLoRHINA MUTABILIs the spe- cific name having.reference to the chan geable colors. Around the roots of the sage brush are whole regiments of little fellows. none the less interesting on ac- ! count of their small size-and with them the writer found a beautiful specimen -ef.a large black Longhorn known as MoxIhEm4 GIGAs the largest species Of the genus to which it belongs, and very rare in eastern collections. The grease wood supports a fine weevil, nearly white. but with checkered markings Of brown on its back. At this time Of the year. search in almost any situation will reveal objects of interest to naturalist and well worthy our attention.

DAILY MAILS TO MORALES,
A Petition to that Effect.

The following petition is being circu- lated and liberally signed this afternoon:
 We, the undersigned citizens of Tue son and Nogales, respectfully beg to submit; that the mail iron. Tucson to Nogales IS now carried via Benson; that by this arrangement it takes 30 hours to reach the latter point; that there are two stage lines running Tn a direct course between the two places; that if the mail were carried by either of these stage lines, it would reach Nogales 19 hours earlier than it does by the existing route; that the expense of carrying the mail by stage would be very small; that the correspondence between the two places is very large; that if the mail were carried by stage, large number of ranches and small settlements which are now without mail facilities would be accommodated without additional ex- pense to the government;
 Wherefore, your petitioners earnestly pray that a daily stage route between Nogales and Tucson, be forthwith es- tablished

The San Pedro artir Pine
 Region
Yuma Sentinel.

Two hundred miles south of Yuma lies the great p.ne region of San Pedro Martin. The mountain on which the pine is situated reaches a height of 15,- 900 feet, as measured by T. s. Van Dyke, the ready writer If San Diego. and also by Col. ID. K. Allen. The mountain on top is about 90 miles in length by 15 to 30 wide. lis estimated that it contains no less than 100000 acres of land, all of which is thickly covered with the rich est and the best of grasses and one half of which is covered with Q great growth of pine timber. Red Cedar trees have been found which measure D feet in circumference two feet above the ground. One pine tree lying on the ground measured 2i0 feet in length, D feet in circumference three feet from the butt, 16A feet in circumference 100 feet from the butt, and 90 feet to the first limb. It is estimated that there are 13,5OO,OOO trees which will yield 21< logs to the tree, each log F feet in length and 21s feet in diameter. The Peninsulsr K. K. will run within thirty miles of the north end of this great pine belt. A: R. R. can be built into the very heart or the best portion of the pine. The rainfall aver ages 30 inches in the summer and the snow falls from 2 to 10 feet deep in win ter. ST. Don. Jose Nj. Espinosa kept To-, GOO head of cattle on the mountain for 8 wears. His loss was less than 3 per cont. The mountain rains in summer and snows in winter supply all of the streams running to the Pacific with water hence the permsnence of those streams.

IF the Republican party of the County and Territory nominate good men, and capable, responsible ones there can be but little question as to the outcome; and there is no excuse for nominating others. Pima county, and the Territory has an abundance of excellent timber. This should promptly be brought to the ore. On a platform of principles the Republican party has the lead. It is progressive, it is liberal, it is true It is composed of the masses-the great middleclass of liberty loving citizens. It never resorts to buildozing and that un-American custom of boycott. Ii guarantees perfect liberty of speech and of action within the law. In national congress the Republican party has in- variably placed itself on the side of our interests in territorial matters. It has been the friend of Arizona and Arizona will prove her faithfulness. The people of the territory who want an honest and economic government of affairs naturally look to the Republican party. Thepast have proven this the part of wisdom. With this responsibility before them, the Republicans should be doubly care ful not to weight the ticket down with any political incubus who may aspire for office. Republication IS just syn onym for clean politics, and an honest and capable, and vigorous administra- tion of public affairs.

BREcKIYRIDGE, of Kentucky, is reported in this afternoons dispatches from Washington as having delivered him self, with great pain, of speech against the .'foace" bill as the democratic gen tlemen are pleased to designate the new federal bill which proposes to have a fair count and purify the ballot. Such ranting should be left to political strum pets. What is the matter with the de mocrats that they object to a harmless law which simply demands fair cleo tions: Do their conscierces prick? Who said thief. that the whole party of simplicity, morality and reform, from Dan io Beersheba should hold up their hands. turn their pockets inside oIt and swear they are honest. A culled gen. tleman would not be insulted to find a paddock on the hen-roost, if his inten- tions were Yirtuous.

NOT A GOOD BOOK.
A Work Outlavsd by the United
 States Mails.

In view of the postal war which is be- ing made on Count Tolstoi's famous book, ''The Kreutz' Sonata" the follow ing conversation with the author may be of interest to the readers of the CITI- ZEN. There is variety of opinion as to the justice of the postal act:
 Thomas Stevens in the course of a let ter from Orel, Russia, giving an account of an interview with Count Tolstoi, auth or of the "kreutz Sonata" "Peace and War" and other well known books says: offered to send the count a copy of Looking Backward that had in Mos COW. He had already read it. Hedidn't know whether the government permi ted it to circulate in Russia, but he had re- ceived a copy through friend. The story was very we'll told, he said, but that was all he could say for it. There was nothing new in it and all it's ideas had been taken from Carl Marks Capital
 "Bellamy had simply clad in popular clothes a set of old ideas belonging to the people. Henry Georges Progress and Poverty is far superior, he thought. He was astonishsd at the popularity of Looking Backward It is only a pla- giarism,' he said, but is complete as story and fallacious throughout. To be of value the book should have shown how the results which are portrayed | were to be arrived at. Without that, the book is nothing but fairy tale. When | men should live a life as happy and per feet as that which Bellsmy describes, of
 their own free will and spontaneous goodness and would not require govern
 ment regulations for all their actions.'
 Among the governments of the pres
 ent day, Tolstoi thinks that the United
 States government is long way ahead. It is almost mistake,' he says, to call
 it government at all, in general accep-
 tation of the term. Certainly it was not
 bethought of as republic in the sense that France is republic. The French government is Republican form of gov ernment, the people of the United States
 have a natural form of government. They govern themselves. A people who | are simply living under q Republican form of government, because they take
 it better than any other. may possibly | change their minds in time of some great public excitement, and think that | king or an emperor would be better after all; but no such change is possible where the government IS really and truly government of the people-s natural government

MENTION was made yesterday that the Arizona & New Mexico railroad runni. < from Benson to Nogaies, was to oa s.c- porarily abandoned owing to the severe nature of the washouts in the Sonoita canyon. Is it not worth the while ot our citizens to make an effort to secure the rebuilding of this line direct from Nogales to Tucson? inc advantages l. accrue therefrom to the company, in a more practical and less expensive route through a region rich in minerals and agriculture, and to the city of Tucson vii not be dialated upon now. It IS a suggestion worthy of thought.
