THE TERRITORY.

Says the Journdl-Mine "The press of Arizona is unit on the question of wanting Indians removed from the Ter ritory. It is about the only question, too, on which the voice of the Terri torial press is unanimous"
 An idea of a Yuma Indians fool hardness is herewith taken from the Yuma Times: "A few days ago local Indian perambulated the streets care lessly carrying in his ungloved hands Q huge and lively rattlesnake. The app parent unconcern with which he handled the dangerous reptile was source of wonderment to the spectators. During the day the snake struck at it's owner who narrowly escaped rather rocky time in consequence. For foolhardiness in toying with live rattlers commend us to Yuma aborigine."
 Says the Citizen: "Bees are swarming in great numbers and storing an unusual large amount of very white honey made from mesquite and catclaw blossoms. Fully 1000 stands of hives in the county will produce at least 40,000 pounds of honey. The mountains are full of bees, gone wild, storing honey in rocks and trees and also on the limbs of trees in the open air, building comb and storing honey around their queen and trusting to Providence"
 The Prescott Courier has the following about brave man who lies buried at that city: "John Townsend, a Confed- crate soldier, came to this part of Ari- zona some twenty years ago, settled on the Agua Fria, worked hard for him iIU ho hu Apaches and necessarily compelled to defend himself against them, so "he broke out," so to speak, and in couple of years killed twenty-six of the say. ages. They finally lay in wait for him near Dripping Springs and killed him. Respecting his great bravery, they did not mutilate him. His horse, noble animal, was found standing over the remains of his master. Townsend's re- mains were brought here and inferred, and on Memorial Day Judge A. 0. Moves, one of our oldest pioneers, Masons and Republicans, visited the Masonic ceme- tery, spread flowers on the grave of his boy, Dan, upon that of Major Perkins aud upon that of the gallant Townsend, who had, single handed, fought and whipped whole bands of Apaches, kill ing twenty-six of them in less than two years."
 Concerning the irrigating of large section of land near Tucson, the Star has the following: 'One of the most ex- perienced engineers and canal builders in the United States has been looking over the irrigating proposition of the Pima Land and Irrigation company, which has it's water supply on the Fort Lowell reservation, and he states that for fifty thousand dollars he will agree to take out canal with sufficient water to irrigate more than ten thousand acres of the mesa lands to the east and south of Tucson. He states it is the best canal proposition he has ever examined, for when taken in connection with the fact that it is so near Tucson, every inch of the water will be utilized at once, as there are hundreds of people here to re- claim and cultivate the lands as soon as the water is taken out In many other places where canals have been con structed it has been found necessary to induce people to go on the lands to re- claim them in order to sell them water, but here the important fact is reversed. The people are here ready to compete for the water, and the consumers of the product of the soil are also here, which will make farming and horticulture i'm mensely profitable. It would seem that there is good reason for believing that this company would not hesitate long in pushing the construction of this irri- gating canal"
