Notwithstanding all that has been said and written upon the subject, every resident of southern Arizona, and particularly those of the Gila val ley in Pinal county, takes lively in terest in the one great resource that characterizes the superiority of this above all it's sister counties-the nat ural reservoir site at the Buttes, if teen miles east of Florence.
 At this point there evidently ex- isted at remate period of time, an unbroken chain of low mountains crossing the present channel of the Gila river and extending for many miles at greater or less distance from the river in an easterly direction; but eventually the waters cut through the sandstone hills and formed a winding gorge for the meandering current, with precipitous cliffs upon either side. These form solid foundation, with the continuous and unbroken bedrock, for the construction of dam of sui ficient night and strength to restrain body of water fifteen or twenty miles in length by an average width of more than mile and a depth vary ing from two hundred feet at the dam, down. The following report of the engineer employed to partially sur vey the reservoir and gorge, will give a fair description of the details at the site of the proposed dams. The sur. vey was carried up the basin dis tance of seven and one-half miles, be yond which estimates can be made O. the approximate capacity of the reser voir. The report was made by w. A McGinnis, of PheniX, to the committee selected by the board of supervisor to prepare proper matter to presen to the special senate committee or arid lands, and is as follows:
 "DEAR SIR: Having been employee

 Beginning at a point under the butte on the left bank of river. the line runs across river and canyon, N. 730 45' E. The distance from bluff is 22O feet; here the bluff on right bank rises vertically to forty feet, when it slopes off at an angle of about 35o, un- til it reaches an altitude of I5O feet. '"The butte on the left bank rises vertically to an altitude of about 325 feet.
 "At the right end of the dam line, there is natural spill-way through which the surplus water can be dis charged without coming in contact with the masonry of the dam.
 Should dam No. l be built to height of 200 feet, the spill-way would be at the left end, swhere the water would be discharged onto the solid rock below, or the spill-way could be cut through the rock at the end.
 "The survey of river, dams, and cross sections is made with magnetic varia- ton of 130 40'.
 "Time being limited, the valley was cross-sectioned only at points that would give the nearest mean cross sectional area. (See cross sections Nos. l, ?, 3, 4, and 5, and map.)
 "In the distance surveyed q. 5 miles) the river has a fall of 70.5 feet. At the same ratio the water impounded by dam No. 2, 150 feet high, would ex- tend up the river about 15.9 miles, and that by No. 1 about 25 miles.
 "FrOm dam No. ?, the first 7.5 miles will impound approximately seven billions cubic feet of water, and would supply canal carrying 10000 miners inches of water, for period of S2 days

Mining Statistics Wanted.

Having been appointed by the Treasury Department to collect the statistics of the Mineral production of Arizona, my desire is to make the re- turns as full and as much in detail as possible. In order to accomplish this it is necessary that the producers shall give me their assistance, and every one have his mine fully represented. I shall shortly send blanks to be filled out, but as it is possible that I may miss some, shall be much obliged if any who fail to receive them will send me a statement of the amount of ores shipped, with the assay value of the same, and also the amount of bullion or gold dust may have obtain ed during the year 1889. I shall do my best to give every county it's due credit. JOHN F. BLANDY,

HALL OF ] SOCIETY OF ARIZONA PIONEERS < TUCsoN, A. T., Feb. 8, 1890 )

TUCSON, A. l., FeD. 6, lSJU. Whereas We learn with alarm that an effort is being made to induce the government to remove the Chiricahua Apache Indians from Mt. Vernon, Ala, to Ft. Sill, Indian Territory, and
 Whereas: The Chiracahua Indians have devastated for more than cen tury Arizona, New Mexico and Sonora, murdering thousands of people and destroying incalculable amounts of property, and who for more than thir- ty years have defied the government and it's troops, until General Nelson A. Miles was placed in command of this department, and whose vigorous policy and unreienting campaign fore ed their unconditional surrender and removal from the territory; and
 Whereas: General Crook has de- clared he would undertake to answer for the good conduct of these Apaches if sent to the Indian Territory cannot be considered of any effect, as it is but q repetition of a declaration made by him in public speech in this city in 1883, when he returned from the Sier- ra Madre campaign, where he had baen made captive by these same In dians, through the treachery of his scouts, including Chatto, Dutchy and others, whom he now seeks to release; i; in which speech he pledged his word and honor as an officer and gentle man for the future good conduct of these same Indians, and yet in less than a year and while he was still in command, they returned to the war path, and resumed their murderous raids; and
 Whereas: Under the law these In dians, though guilty of numerous mur- ders and some of them under indict- ment and subject to the death penalty yet through the mercy of the govern ment were removed from the territory to Florida, thus settling the vexed Apache problem, giving as result un broken peace and prosperity and al most doubling the industrial popula ton of Arizona; and
 Whereas: That from our long anG personal knowledge of these Indians we know that they will, if sent to the Indian Territory, reach their ole homes in Arizona in less than two weeks, and then re-enact their former bloody career therefore
 BE IT RESOLVED: That we, the so ciety of Arizona Pioneers, representing the people of Arizona, earnestly pro test against the removal of these In dians to any place west of the Mlssis sippi river, and be it

funding act ol Arizona, not only destroys the force of Che compliment, but actually excites the disgust of the people of this territory by the state ment, evidently supplied by the gov ernor, that this "places the finances of Arizona upon a solid basis for the first time in the history of the terri tory" This misrepresentation, in arrogatiug to Governor Wolfley a measure of undeseryed credit, cannot add to the respect he enjoys at home. Up to few years ago the finances of Arizona were in the most satisfactory condition, and quite recently the evils of season of reckless extravaganza were greatly lessened through the pro --visions-of the funding bill, and as the time Governor Wolhey assumed the reins of government territorial war rants were at par, but a month later were unsaleable at any price. It was solely siis own unlawful acts that de- stroyed all confidence in the financial affairs of the territory and destroyed it's credit. While we commend his ei- forts to repair the wrongs he inflicted upon the territory, we must condemn his misrepresentations to achieve a lit- tie personal glory in official circles where the facts are unknown. It is a sad commentary upon human depray- ity that praise must be bestowed upon public servants who perform their duty conscientiously; but when the most despicable deception is used to achieve a little temporary commenda- ton it is evidence of lack of merit and an attempt to bolster up a weak and incompetent administration by cheap and unprincipled practices Of trickery.

Live Stock Notes.

The driving of cattle from Southern Arizona to California has been agi- tated considerably during the last three or four months among cattle men, and last week the first lot was started on the trial-1 200 good steers belonging to Walter Vail, who has his herds in this county. MT. Vail, in in speaking about the matter, when here en route with his cattle, stated that this was an experiment only, and not the result of any hard feelings be- tween the cattlemen and railroad com pany. If cattle can be driven to California, as is claimed by those who have had experience in driving cattle long distances, for half what it costs to ship them by rail, the result will be that cattle driven will arrive in Cali fornia in much better condition than when shipped by rail. Cattlemen will await the result of the experimental trip now being made by MT. Vail, with considerably anxiety.-Herald.
