/ EDITOR HERALD:-Tha several articles
in your oolrmns from time TO time sd
vooatjng smsltsr pear Phoenix cannot
| help but bring about the much-needed
results. A custom srssltet 30 suggest
! ed, with its location IN near proximity
co the river, would receive patronage
sufficient from the day of it's starting to
guarantee it's projectors large returns
and continual patronage. 10 would be
| tributary TO vest scope Of COT nt-y rich
in precious metals. II would be equiv
alent to a large manufacturing enter
| prise established in your midst, with lbs
attendant benefits. How much more
/ desirable ID would be to have grand
smeltsr with the latest impgoyad equip
ments, honorsbly conducted, than to
have eeflca OF mills dotting the hills
all around, unsuitable in, their equip
ments to handle the character OF ore
which moy De taken oot of the mine. II
has Frequently struck me that the de-
sultory manner ie which such mills are
erected snd finally become in disuse for
lack of ore to feed it With, and hence
future ohopping- block for she tax-gsth-
erer and junk shop. Suppose that
every wheat ranch in the country should
erect a -four mill thereon, what cstss-
trophel Arizona IN the past has done
mining under the shadow of a tallow
candle, and she has grosned under the
burden of inoompetenoy, ignorance and
schemipgism that has cursed q iegiti-
mate business. How often do we hear
mention OF "csttle man and mining
man.? The two don'b blend ;sthey are
separate and distincs business. The
cattle will go poor or the mine Will be
failure. Every one 70 his legitimate
trade. a lsnd-lubber placed at the
helm of Nav York and Liverpool
steamer will surely bring shipWreok,
and so the two do not blend. There
is no business in she world
shss has been subj scted to such
severe strain upon it as the mining
business, three Monteism, skull
druggery and ingenious trap laying
have been the features employed TO In
duce capital to invest. But the time
has come when the electric light of
science must be shed upon this Ari-
zong's greatest industry aud mining
failures and f1zzles must be rele9etsd to
the rear. Have you not the sciences of
surgery, physics, electricity, navsgs-
ton, astronomy and photography &C.
knowledged and in abeya nce to certain
rules what then shall hinder the i'm
mediste recognition of the coming and
most remarkable among the sciences
Geology wherein the vast and enor-
mostly rich metal veins of this country
can be Systematically and accurately

squandeFed in useless expenditure.
This most youthful among the
sciences is destined to work OUT In the

study and application of Geology a man
can so diagnose the vein system and

accurately define where the ore lay,

of Entry it is best to work such noun
tain for the profitable extraction OF the
ore bodies. When capital will en-
courage and call to this great science
they will realize thousand where they
are now getting dimes. l have seen
