In the selection of Bro. L. c. Hughes of the Tucson Star as Presi- dent, the Arizona Press Association did well. It could not, in our opin- ion have done better. Free from all prejudice, bigotry and narrow minded ness, experienced, competent, able, broad-viewed and broad guaged, a man in whom all have the most per feet confidence, and one who has every vital interest of the Territory at heart and will work for its best welfare No man will work harder, more en- ergetically and industriously to put the association on to 6rm basis. We congratulate the organization upon it's selection and Bro. Hughes upon the honor conferred.

UNDER the new school law which we publish today it will not be an alduous task to go ahead and raise the money necessary to build a new schoolhouse in Yuma or any other school district, neither will it be any burden to pay the interest on the money necessary to do so, pro- Yided that no extravaganza is al- lowed, The law is a good one. There is no excuse, there can be none, why every school district in the Territory cannot have a suit able building for school purposes. The man who opposes such had better move out Of Arizona. We want none of his class here.

E2gGsEEEST MOUNTAIN OE
 THE COAST.

From the report of MT Russell, Chief of the Scientific Expedition sent hy the United States Government, aud by the National Geographical Society to explore Mount St Elias, Alaska, it's found that the mountain, which has been supposed to be the highest point on the Pacific coast, in place of being l9,500 in height, is Only l3,500. Mt Cook is 10, 250 and Mt. Vancouver 9,400 feet. This es-- tablishrs the fact, as has been claimed, that San Pedro Martin, in Lower California, is the highest point in the great range of mountains lying along and back from the Pacific coast, the elevation of which IS l5,000 feet. San Pedro Martin is the backbone of the Peninsula. At 10,S00 feet 1t Is about 90 miles in length and from 15 to 35 miles in width, level al- most as a floor, covered with the finest of grasses and feed for cattle, and with a great growth of fine pine timber which covers about 100000 acres. It is well watered, springs and streams being found up to the elevation of 800 feet. The highest point is Tres Palomas. Splendid pine of 16 varieties is formed at 12,S00 feet above the sea. The rainfall is B inches in sum- aer and the ball of snow in winter from ? to 10 feet.

ALL of that portion of Lower Cali foTnia lying east of the main range of the Sierra Maesra mountains, a section of country about 100 miles square of the richest and best soil on the Pacific coast, Is part of Yuma's back country, and TO one can take 1t away from her. On the west side of the river it comes up to within z miles of town, on. this sid. it is about 20 miles to the national boundary line. We have been carefully looking up the Yuma newspaper files for the past 20 years, and it is surprising to End the amount of contempt5bJe ignorance of this vast and fine region that has found its way into public print. Even at the present time we find that every effort made to open up and develope this rich region is characterized by the same class of ignoramuses as "wind." Let us see what position our new Board of Trade will take upon She important move now being in augerated to open Hp and settle that section.

No matter how small any town or community may be, any organization made, with view of placing facts be- fore new corners, strangers, would-be settlers, home seekers and immigrants, is to be encouraged, fostcred and sup ported.
 If such an organization is made on the broadguage principle of the most good to the greatest number, it cannot but be power in opening up and settling any new country.
 The Board of Trade in Yuma can do noble work if rightly organized, properly equipped, and then run on strictly business principles, net for revenue only to any one individual, but for the best interests of Arizona as a whole, and Yuma in particular. Selfish schemes, personal interests and sectional partisanship cannot, must not enter into it in any form, other wise the whole ching will prove 8 curse not only to the country in which it has it's birth. but a nuisance and the downfall to, the crank or cranks that make 1t such as we'll as to the wet nurses and sYcophants that ordered it's awaddhng clothes 4 little experience and time will tell us ss to the outcome of ss1r Yuma Board of Trade.

YEs, Yuma has a Board of Trade duly organized, no matter if she has only l2 white residents, as insinuated by some one who lives in the fossil city of Tucson, with her to be 5,G00,- 900 inhabitants, every one of which is to be pure white. This is good reading coming from Tucson. Time will tell of how much benefit our Board of Trade is to Yuma. We hope for the best. We have no fears.

From parties just in from down the coast we learn that some very rich silver mines have just been discovered near San Felipe, just below the mouth of the Colorado river in Lower California. A dozen locations have been made. The ore runs from $50 to $500 per ton. The mines are from one-half to three miles from the steamer land ing at San Felipe. The grass is good. There are two wells of good water near the landing. Game, deer, antelope, quail, are plenty. 1t is the greatest place for fish, oysters, clans, turtle, soft shell crab, wild geese, duck, crane, cur lew and snipe in the west. Parties have gone to get material to start a camp and town.
