mm If 5d- THE OFFICIAL PAPER OF ARIZONA. KSTATirilSTnOD lflO'l, J. M. MARIOS KWTOR. PBBSCOTT, , SATURDAY MOUSING. JANUARY 11, m. Mining News. JJig Bagi l)itrict.yir. F. II. Wuntlerllch, wild has lately visited this district, informs us that ho has quite a number of mon engaged in running a tunnel upon the "Ettganie" lode. Mr. Fairish, of San Francisco, accompanied Mr."Wunderlich, and expresses himself highly pleased with the looks of the country and thtt rich now of Uie quarts. Tho upjier or new tunnel of tho. Eugenie is new run into the ledge a distance of about ninety feet. The ledge is full; six feet thick, and the rock looks better than erer before. Tbc several strata of which the ledge U composed are as follows : Next the fboNwnll there aro !etween eighteen inehes and two feet of solid quartz, mixed with small, neatly-formed sulphurate of cop per; next to this stratum, there is about the game thickness of decomposed copper-stained rack; thon there are fully two feot of solid, bluish rock, which is ate well mixed with suIjdiHrets, and which "breaks out" in large, square pieces. We hare seen a pieco of thie Milphuret rock, and we must say that it looked to us as though it would pay wall, if projrtrly treated, which it will be, as soon as Mr. Kustel arrives. A drift, twenty feet in length, has been run into the " Galena" ledge, at a depth of eev onty feet, which opened up a body of beauti ful sulphuret ore, four and a half feet in thick ness. The suIphureU in this ledge are not quite as small as those in the Eugenie, yet it is generally hollered that thoy are richer in gold and silver. There is a bluish-black rock in this ledge that has assayed as high as $500 to the ton. Placer mining, on account of an insufficient supply of water, is at a stand-still Wltler3 BldtHi. Poland & Pearson re cently worked five tons from the "Spur" lode. The clean-up established the fact'that the Spur is a good lodo, and will do to tio to. Mr.' Pearson, who in company with Messrs. Sholton, and Cole, came to, town a fow days ago, told us that tho rock paid well. McCrackin is hauling rock from the "Pav- Streak," a new ledge. Watson, Fredericks and Marsh, aro taking rock, out of the '-Shamrock,'' lode A. French is burrowing in tho "Tie-Tie." Tho "Thundorboldt" mill is running upon "Shamrock" and "Tie-Tie" ores. Some placer mining is being done on the bars of the. creek, hut there is scarcely enough water for that purpose, or for running the water arastras llawtytxmgxi DUtrict, Saturday last, Young & Roddick were down 40 feet upon the " Ohanco " silver ledo. Tiic rock looks first rate and shows lots of native silver. Joe. louiig, oneof the lucky owners, got, recently, r&rty Qrjrnnwation. F.nirnn Auiosa Mikkk: -The time is fast approaching whou we will Ik! again cnllcd up on to select thowc who will represent us in the Territorial Legislature, and the National Congress. It is argued by sotno of both par ties, that asJvo hare no-vote in the National CongitwI'its unwise and inexpedient in us to draw party lines, or to discuss lrty poli tics. Now, can it be, that an American citi zen, bom beneath tho protecting rcgisof the American Government, and the recipient of tho blessing of American lilwrty, and Amer ican institutions from his childhood, is, in the faithful discharge of his duty, when he stand, passively by, while Klitical questions of the greatest moment to our country questions upon tho correct solution of which depends tho perpetuity of our institutions and our lib erties -are bohig discussed and decided. I cannot think so. If ho loves his country and its institutions, if he would uid in maintain ing and perpetuating his Government and his liberties, if ho would discharge tho duty of the patriot as one of the sovreigns of the Re public, in my judgment it lecomea his duty to investigate earofuliy and closely the polit ical questions presented, and,nccunling to his judgmcnt,dctcrmine the right, and when the right is thus determined, it becomes his du ty as a citizen arid patriot, so far as he may, to aid in the triumph of the right. Now if I am right in my conclusions at to the duty of the citizen, and if the members of the polit ical parties of tho day an- honest in the ex pressed belief that the principle entertained by the parties to which they belong lespect ively, are those calculated to servo tho best interests of the country, then it wins to mo to follow as an inevitable conclusion that it is their bouuden duty as citizens and patriotc, to aid in the success of the principles thus adhered to by the party to which they be long. Now I am of the opinion that no4 one thing tends so much to the success of princi ple as the organized nod concerted efforts of its adherents. AYithoat the organization of party, political demagoguesmon whoso sole purpose and object is to gratify their personal ambition and private interest, having no re gard to the public good, intrude themselves upon the pubttc attention as candidates for office; they are necessarily competitively strangers to the majority of those whom they teetc to represent, aim, tor tiie time, en deavor to make their political notions accord with those of each man they meet, and bv this species of fraud, olevate themselves to ollice. I know of no better way of remedy ing tins evil than to organize tho political parties. Py organization, the evil complained of, is remedied through conventions. The delegates in conventiou canvass the merits of the aspirants for ollice, and in a majority of cases select the better man one whose po litical principles arc in unison with the party wboto standard bearer he is, and one whose interests are identified with tho interests of thoso whom lie desires to represent. In this way tho nu!ses,through their representatives select thoir candidates, instead of having the candidates intrude themselves upon them un bidden Again, by party organization, the political asues ot ttie day arc brought boforo the masses by tho standard bearers of tho respect ire parties, and the public press, and there discussed and the public mind cnlishtoned If it lie true that this is a Government of tho people, and that each citizen, however humble he may be, forms a comjwncnt part thereof, Governor JMght'i Inaugural. In reviewing the able statesmanlike address -of Governor Height, of California, tho Son Bernardino Gunrtlut says: . " Wo aro glad to find the Executive of tho State or Ouliromia so fully in accord with thu President of the United States in the on lightencU and strictly constitutional policy which he endeavors to impress tqwii the re cusant mombcrs of Congress. In that jwr tion of his address which refers to State )oli cy, Governor lluight expresses himself in fa vor of a registry law; in favor or an eight hour law 'as both partic,' he say, "in tbc late canvas gave distinct pledges that such a law should be enacted;' he is opposed to Chinese immigration ; recommends economy and retrenchment; cautious the Legislature asrainst lavish expenditures of public money, evon under tho namo of charity; adverts to snocinl leirislation and warns against it; recommends revision of the statutes; suggests the propriety of returning to tho old system or apitointing judges to bold ofllco during irood behavior; and closes by promising his aid in any way within his power, to facilitate tho reformation of the present defective state nrienn cvntnm. mill ill the OreaniKltlon of a , ... State University. The recommendations of tho Gorernor are just ttnu protier, ami we uoj ne win en abled to earn them out, or havo them car ried out, to the great and permanent benefit of our glorious dtate." Tho Radical t taper have raised a big howl because Governor Haigbt saw fit to speak of and discuss, at some length, the jwwers and duties of the general Government, the States and tlie citiien, forgetting that Governor Ixw, ia his iwrtwan messages or harangues, ha, heretofore waded pretty deep into National affairs. out of. nine pounds or rock, nine ounces or amalgam.

Wo arc informed that after manip ulating and reducing the ore, tho amalgam is worth 5, an ounce. The owners are Col orado men, and wc believe, understand work ing this kind of ore. "VYe have heard or par-tie-in Prescott getting excited over this mat ter. All wc havo learned in regard to it, camo to us second-hauded, but we hope it is nil true.

The New York 11mm, the organ or the Conscrrctive Republicans, lavs tho blatno at the door or the rampant Radical', when it says: "That the public mind ha? become disgust ed with the extreme measures or many prom inent men in tho Union jmrty we liave little doubt. The evident- determination or some among them, not only to secure the colored race in the enjoyment or equal righto, but to give them absolute ascendancy in the govern ment of tho country, Has reHjJleu very many who have hitherto acted with the Republican party. There is nodoubt, moreover, that the reckless portizamhip which has marked much or tho action or the republican leaders, tho disregard or constitutional obligations, the manifest determination to keep political power in their own hands, by whatever means, and the evident puqwee to exclude the southern States from the Union until they can relv on their support or the most radical measures of public and party policy, 'have caused very many members of that party to distrust the wisdom and patriotism of thoso who have usurped its leadership and control. of tho same, then whatever aids him in cast ing that voice understandingly and intelligi bly, contributes to tho good of tho country Organization, in my judgment, tends inucli to tho triumph or tho principles of the partv m the V. and tLouirh wo havo no vote Congress, yet the result of our election conducted upon party principles, has its influ ence. Our delegate in Conxress will have his influence, and that influence will bo in behalf or what the majority regard as correct prin ciples. Then, Sir, let tho Democratic party organ ize. Let the Democracy or the Territory hold a Territorial Convention to nominate a candidate for Delegate to Congress, and let each section of tho Territory vie with tho other in oflorts to put forth a good and true man, one who is devoted to the intorestste or the Territory as well as attached to the prin ciples or the jwrty. Ry so doing wo will not only havo served the Territdry, but will havo done what wo might in aid of thoso princi ples in which wo believe rests tho salvation and perpetuity of that Government institu ted by tho Fathers of tho Republic.

This an- ciunt. honorable and charitable order has been established in l'rescott within a month past, and to-day it numbers over fifty members, who, for honor, integrity and industry, aro not surpassed by any other fifty men in tho Territory. Hani-working men, clerk-, store keepers have fallen into the ranks of the b'rotherhood thick and fust, and the thing is spreading like wild-nrc among our people. From what wc can learn, on tho ouUide, of course, it was rounded by Cyrus, King or Persia, in the year 960, B. 0. Its object is to counteract, and show up the standard follies of mankind, enforce humility, and aid man to control his wicked pas&ion, and causo him to see himself as others see him. Following is a list of the officers elected at their last meeting: "Tho annual election of officers or the 0. O. O.

To'inorrow, they leave for San Francisco. The last (r tho surveying lrties will bo in this week, ami arrango inentowill Ikj mado to finish up the survey as soon as posihle. The adopted route runs close to tho bun Francisco Mountains, south or tho main moun tains and north of IHll Williams Mountain, to Peacock Springs, and through Truxton Pass and Wallapai Valley to Railroad Pass, and crosses the Colorado river about three miles abovo tho Needles, or about Iwenty-flve miles below this place. So the road will uot touch any sottlomont of Arizona, but I hope settlements will soon be mado in tho neighborhood or tho ndopted route. The rente has bttn In orery resect better than was even hoped Cor, with low and eay grades, but few curves, and an inexhaustible forest of pine timber, lmvklng this route pre ferable to all other. The surveying iiartiw that were sent out via the 32(1 itmllel, or Gila and Fort Yuma route, lmve been re called ami jdttcwl on tills route, and no other route will be talked or but the 35th parallel route. "While the roads are blocked up with anow along the northern route, we aro having pleasant weather, hven at this w rtting, it is reported that the mails from San I-raneisco to Salt Like cannot got through; that the road from San Francisco to Ixh Angelas is iuipasalle, and that from Los Angeles to this place it is under water; so it is Impossible to uet through with the mails. Ami uo mail ' ' has arrived from St. George for the jiast ten days, on account of deep snow near Salt Lake. So, while the northern route is com pletely blocked up with snow, this 3&th par allel route is opeu, and we aro enjojing a pleasant and mild climate. Tho only annoyance that the surveying party have is the great swarms of tlie and moequitoes along the Colorado river, and oven far out on the road towards the San Francisco Mountains ; the warms or flies wero met a- late as the 20th of December.
