THE WEEKLY AlUZONAN OCTOBER 9 18C9. AMONG $IE FIRST. Tf miu i,n no,;fr;,,'f'tn hi constituents in Arizona to reflect fhajhoweTer frequently the A COMING ENTERPRISE. I Perhaps the most important suggestion everi made, with the view of forwarding the agri cultural interests of this '.Territory, was the project of siukiuf artesian wells, and of thus watering the vast plains which lie too derated to admit of the possibility of irrigation from streams, as suggested by Governor McCormick in his message to the Fifth Legislature. It Would be quite superfluous to enumerate here the many advantages which must neces sarily follow this system of irrigation, as the cotmnonost observer has but to view the im mense surface of country, which during the July rains clothes itself with the most luxuriant 'vegetation, before being satisfied as to the result. It is not more man a just representa tion if we assert that the richest lands in the Territory arc at' present lying waste because the locations of streams do not admit of the possibility of conveying water over the surface, by means of aqueducts, and at a very moderate eXpens.? ; while, on the other hand, cold, bottom lauds, over which water may b" cheaply conveyed, require the most skilful manngement to produce crops which may be considered even a fair return. It is about time that the people who have concluded to settle down and live by cultivating the soil in thin Territory were aroused to study their own interests at the same time that thty mav give the country a fair trial, The bottom lands, so far as it is prudent oralvisablc for the pioneer to em roach upon ths dominion of the Apache, are all settled, while land most desirably located at the very suburbs of this town and bearing upon its surface evidence of its fertility, if water were to be had, is still unnpftu!iifd. We may take for example the whole extent of country lving between Tucson and the set tlement on the Ileito; this tract of country. watered only twice a year by the February and July rains produces crops of hay that will yield several hundred tons to every square mile; which is proof ample of what this land could bo made to vield if water could be had at all times. Now, there is but one manner in which such supply of water maybe procure J and iliat is through the system of artesian wells, as recommended. We are almost con viuced thatthere arc few, if any, who will not mlmit. nr flint" as their belief, that the lands above alluded to, may bo cultivated and mad- to vield abundantly by this system. 1 bus tar the people have been restrained from engaging in the enterpiise because of the enormous ex pense which the boring of an artesian well is said to incur ; yet'ti all probability the expense would not be greater than would be the cost ol nroDerlv ditchinjr a counlo hundred acres of i i j w bottom laud, and then, this upland country, so ' irrigated will, if its present luxuriance under so manv disadvantages constitute a fit cri terion, yield crops which will surpass anything vet known of agriculture m Arizona. ml People have hitherto been satisfied with the products of land evidently inferior to that upon which grows the mezquet audironwood; but the mistake will be seen in time, It is evident that water, constant and abundant, is all that is required, therefore artesian wells must be a Kiicces: and whoever shall be hrst in the held mav rest assured that he will lay the founda inn of a future for the territory, bright and mnid in development and, besides, that the enterprise will fill his own pockets faster than over our rich mines did the pockets ot tliose who have bet n fortunate enough to bo their discoverers The only question which can arhe to mar the feasibility of the recommendation n : can an abundant flow of water be procured at a Ttasonablo depth ? and a hundred voices wil answer, we can imagine no reason why it may not.

On the 7ui ult. he was present at a meeting in the Su-Taeasury held for the purpose" of passingjsuitablc resolutions ex- pressive ot tiiehyrnpauy oime peopie, wuu mo family of Secretary Iiaklins ; at which meeting he, Horace Greely and, H. B. Claflin were ap pointed a committee to draft ''resolutions ex pressive of the meeting in relation to the death o of General Rawlins, and to request such no lice from the city authorities as the case may demand." The people of Arizona made no mis take when they elected to Congress a man whose talent and ability are thus acknowledged by the first men of the nation. The N. T. Herald of Soplember 13th pub lishes the following correspondence which has recently been submitted by the Cuban Junta iu this city to General Eutterfield, Treasurer of the lawlins Fund: J unta Central IUmblicaxa be 1 Cuba t puei:to mco, V New Youk, Sept. 9, 18G9.

Rawlins, and we regret that the urgent exigen cies of our cause forbid oiir making this offer- itif in a more available farm, but trust that ore Ion?, when the heart'elt d(sirc3 of General Law lins in favor or oi-r vutn republic be fulfilled, these securities may prope a valuable assis tance. !

The letter expresses th grief wlii;h all pa triotic Cubans U;A for the inti rely loss of such a "nobis and true friend" tri the cause of Cu ban independence and concludes iu the foho- winir word: As representatives of the people and govern ¬ ment of the republic of Cuba we beg now to add one more expression jof raiitu-e and respect to the jrrcat number of mai.ifo-tations so lie ervedly made on this sad occasion by your countrymen, who, without dis inction ot pi.rt.y. have shown how much his services as n. luli minded statesman and accomplished soldier are apreciated by the American peopie. - a. mml I i Vucu koii Avondale : i he following ap real has been made to the Welsh citizens of the Pacific, for their assistance towaad the suffer ers by the Avondale disaster ': Cumru of the Pacific Coast : The awfn calamity at the Avondale mine, Pennsylvania, where so many of our countrymen have Iot their lives, and where so many of our country women and their children ware made widows aud orphans, has senta thrill of horror through every heart in the land. They have our deep est and most profound sympathy but that will either feed nor clothe them. Therefore, in behalf of the bereave J mothers and their or phans, this appeal is made to you, Welshmen of the Pacific coast, to express your sympathy in the donation of material aid, and that speedily, while the incidents of the terrible catastrophe are fresh in your minds, hfty cents from every Welshman on the Pacific slope would amount to thousands of dollars. Let us on this sad occasion give another and a substantial proof of our well-known charity. Any subscription can be sent by the 7th of October to Professor Thomas Price or Natha niel L.
