[Los Angeles Express.l

"Arizona is moving steadily forward" said J. c. Holland, well-known citizen of Tucson to an Express reporter. "What we are striving for now is state hood, and think it will come in short time. Hon. Lewis Wolfey, President Harrison's appointee for Governor, is giving the Territory a wise and conser- vative administration to the eminent satisfaction of the great mass of our citi- zens. Governor Wolfley is man of energy, push and ability and sterling Republican. He has recently succeeded in busting all the holdover appoin- tees of his predecessors in the gub- ernatorial office of Meyer Zulick.
 "An important survey is now being made in the Territory. It will deter mine the western boundary of the White Mountain Indian reservation and the locus of some rich mines and other valuable property. Among the mines Tn dispute now is the Stonewall and the Tweed mines. Out of the former mine ore has been secured which ran assss4igh as SIP per pound. The Tweed is a cop per mine. It was extensively worked until the price of copper went so low. 1 understand that it will take about two months to make the survey. 1The line to be run is about TO miles long and it passes through a rough country, which is, however, rich in minerals.
 'In the Salt river valley we have some rich agricultural land that will produce anything almost that is planted. The soil is rich, and the valley is in a high state of cultivation, furnishing homes for many happy and contented ranchers and their families. The best of potatoes are reared, and cotton of the finest kind can be raised to perfection.
 'In the Bradshaws, a region tribu- tary to Phoenix, 1000 miners are work ing the placers. Some rich diggings have been found and the results are most satisfactory in the way of re- turns.
 Governor Wolhey is now at work striving to secure new deal in the pen
 tentiary at Yuma. For years Yuma county has exerted great influence in Arizona politics, and the penitentiary has been the great Democratic holdout. What Governor Wolfey desires to do is NO llhNO ~ NlcuhihS Out III thO thSbitu- ton, This, in my opinion, would be in the interest of honest and economical government.
 ''The feeling of the people of Arizona is not very kindly toward the Fedora soldiery and these Hashy officers. You see, for years our lives, the lives of our wives and children and our property have been in jeopardy. Many times we have been at the mercy of the devilish Apache band. Many of our friends have been murdered in cold blood and their bodies mutilated. It is prehaps true that the troops have done all they could. But certainly we should have had better protection from this great national government of ours than has been afforded us.
 "The Apache band of outlaws that murdered Robert Hardie is still at large God only knows when they will be cap tured or how many more murders will be committed by them before they are taken. One thing is certain, if they are captured nothing will save them from the fury of our outraged people. There will be no trouble or expense attached to the disposition that will be made of their cases.
 "Not the slightest doubt exists in the minds of the people of Arizona but that Mir. Hardie was murdered by Indians. l Men who investigated the affair arrived | at this conclusion, and their judgment must stand because It cannot be re- futed."
