It Is evident that the Pacific coast is better adapted to its production than any portion of the east from the fact that its climate is so much superior. Arizona has taken ! the right step in exempting beet sugar machinery from taxation for a series of years. Nearly all of the valleys are well adapted to beet production; in some of them-as for instance the val leys of the Colorado and the Gila-the manufacturing of beet sugar could be carried on twelve months in the, year. LIME CREEK MINES.-J. D. Mar lar returned from the Lime Creek cop per mines, Sunday night, and reports the range in that section as looking better than 1t has before for years.
