A Valuable Mall

For the first time Tn the history of California the enormous sum ofS55,000 has been successfully carried in the United States mail from this city to Southern California.
 A few days ago a leading bank in San Bernardino had occasion to trans fer the sum named from San trancis- co to its vaults. The gold was put up Tn sacks made for the purpose, with 5000 in each package. The sacks were simply tied up and not sealed, and was sent as secondclass matter at l cent an ounce. Each sack was then registered. An insurance company then stepped in and for eonsidera- ton insured the safe delivery of the coin By using this method of trans portation the San Bernardino bank saved something like $50, and the plan was absolutely safe so far as the bank was concerned. --S.

4 Good Move.

Governor Wolfey has been corre- spending with the Land Department at Washington in relation 10 surveys Of public lands in Arizona. The law providing for surveys says. tbat the applications for surveys must be made in writing 10 the Surveyor General, who will Tn return notify the settler how much il will cost to make the sur vey, the settler in tune deposits that amount of money with the land office and the surveyor contracts with dep uty 10 perform the work. This rule has been suspended for few years and upon tue Governors request the Commissioner of the Land Office has answered several questions, among which the following will be of interest,
 h reply have to state that sur yeys may be made under the deposit system whenever the requirements of circular of June 24, 1885, copy here with, shall have been compiled with. The Hon. Secretary of the Interier has recently declined to make any general notifications of sad circular, and the regulations therein contained are still in force.
 In this connection l have to state that under date of July 9, 1889, the sum of S50Q0 out of the surveying ap- preparation for thc current fiscal year was placed al the disposal of the Sur yeyor General ol Arizopa, and he was authorized 10 apply tbe same to the survey of townships occupied wholly or ia part by actual settlers, as con teapIated bg the appropriation act, and be vas further authorized, where portions Of townships were mountain GUS or otherwise rendered unfit fer agricultural purposes, to survey the portions adapted 10 agriculture, leaY. Ing the remainder nnsurgeyed.
 AS yet no surveying contracts chargeahle to the said sum of S5000 have been presented for ny approval and tae entire sum IS therefore avail able to make such surveys as may be applied for by bona ide settlers.

1 correspondent of the Willcex Stockman writes from Deming The Ene Cattle Company's hsrd of eco steers arrived here last week. Owing to the Santa Fe having no stock ears i'll sight they were obliged to hold them several days before shipping Those who saw the steers on their range said that they were latter and III better shape on arriving here than when they left ihe company ranch. They came through without the loss of . single animal, and at cost of about S200-while, if they had been shipped at Wilcox, inc cost would have been about S700. Thus Manager Brown made clear saving of about s5G0 for bis company, and at the same time demonstrated the fact that if the ranch owners of Arizona will put com. petent men in cblrge of their steers that they can be driven 10 Deming at 2 small cost and without the loss Of any steers, thus saving thousands of dollars each year instead of raying tribute to inc railroad monopoly,

Niagara Ship Canal,

The House Committee on Railways and Canals has ordered favorable re- port on Representative Payne's bill providing for the construction by the United States of a shIp canal around Niagara Falls. The route is to be along one of the lines already sur Veyed, and definite location is to be made by board of five men te be ap- pointed by the President, composed of two army engineers, two civil engi- neers and one distinguished citizen. Ten thousand dollars is appropriated for ths expenses of the board, and $l ,006,000 is appropriated to begin the construction of the canal under the direction of the Secretary of War. The committee has listened 10 argu- ments upon the subject by repreaen- tatives of lake shipping interest. and others, and the report will make a strong point upon the military neces- sliy for the canal It will be urged that the WelIand, which now affords the only route around the falls, is an English property and would be closed against us In tie event of war. The depth of the canal, B feet, would also be insufficient 10 permit of the pas sage of our vessels. As further req son in support of tbe passage of .he bill, it will be recIted that the Vel land Canal has been usod as a means of discrimination agaInst the ports of the United States and in favor of the Canadian expert trade. According to the plans submitted, the canal Is to cost S23.600,000, which wlli really be less than the cost of tue Welland Can al with it's 13 feet depth, while the new canal is to have a depth of 209 feet Tie route IS about tweDty-three miles in length, and the locks are to be 400 feet long by 50 feet n breadth. Otherwise the canal Is 10 be sufficient ly large to admit of the passage of vessels which can pass through tue St. Mary's Canal when the new locks are completed.

The funding bull has passed the Senate, and needs but the signature of the President to become law. This will be speedily done and Arizona's counties and cities can fund their in- debtedness and save her people such exorbltaht rates of interest as they have been paylng for years past. The importance of this new departure cannot be oyerestimated. It means cheaper rate of interest for the bor- rover as an individual and the people as soc,ety. It means the lpaugura- ton of industries that could not exist Tn country where money IS worth 9 per cent; and for this practical depar- ture from darkness to daylight the counties, cities and the individual can thank Gov.
