COMMISSIONER OF IMMIr GRATIOT COK.UMV Devoted to tlie ReWtfacej of Yuma County ly iisS Com. lulsMioner of Iz3ini:ra tion for Said County. Query raised in one of our justices courts! It & man comes forward aud pleads guilty to an offense has he been in a legal sense, on trial? Give it up In the ordinary sense of the English language he has been tried and, on his own confession, found guilty Why not make a test, of it in the Dis trict Court? If the man has not been tried the judgement of the lower court will certainly be set aside, as it ought to bo The United States land court, now fn- session at Santa Fe, is doing good work for the people at large, especially for the people of Arizona and New Mexico. 1'he decisions are as a rule against the fraudulent, grunt' chuma-frls who seek to monopolize all the tipst agriculture, grazing and mineral lands in the two Territories. The most recent decision handed down is adverse to the grant claimants in the Oalabasas land grant case which was tried at Tucson last February. The court has Baron Reavis now on the rack, aud his chances to steal Arizon lauds valued at 875,000,000 are very slim inderd. At an election held last Tuesday in the new county of Navajoe, the peoplu voted on the choice of a per manent county seat. Hoi brook and Winslow were the contesting towns, the former winning by about 100 majority. Hnlbrook has been the temporary seat of goveernment of the new county since its formation last winter, and is one of the most impor tant shipping points on the line of the Atlantic and f acme mad, and now that it has secured che county seat it is sure to come to the front as one of the foremost towns of Northern Arizona. Anyone having any facta, within his knowledge pertaining to the resources of Yuma county or ideas to suggest in the direction of the county's progress in develop ment of those resources, will confer a favor by communicating them to J. W. Dorring ton, cdliuty Immigration Commissioner. ia the intention, to publish a series of articles advertising the advantages to be derived by investment of capital in agricultural, mining and other enterprises, and hence the com missicner is anxious to secure information relative to individual properties and special enterprises. Address J. W. Dorrington Immigration Commissioner. Yuma, A. T. The high school board at Phoenix has just, elected a principal and assis tants. The Republican has this to say of the gentlemen selected: "Mr.- Brown, principal holds four first grade certifi cates from tho state of Illinois, one from Tesasj and one from this Territory. He has been in charge of the public schools at Florence during the last three years. Mr. Blount, assistant, was superin tendent of schools, for many years, at Morris, 111,, and also had charge of the public schools at McComb, the same state. Mr. Randall, assistant, was graduated from Oberlin college, Ohio, and is well qualified by exten sive experience as a teacher at Pres cott and later in Larason business col lege in this city. Miss Dugan, assis tant, comes highly recommended by the high school board of Delcware, Ohio, where she taught for eight years, and subsequently taught with marked success for two years at one of the high schools of Kansas City, Mo," Evidently the people of Phoenix propose to have the best teachers pos sible for their money. They believe that the qualifications of instructors of their children should be rated by educational ability and experience, and not by social connections. Value received is their motto when it comes to the welfare and utility of public schools. The Phoenix Republican has the following regarding the affairs of the Gila Bend canal in its issue of the 12th insf.ant: Yesterday a cablegram was received from A. A. Dougherty who has been in London for the past few months, announcing that victory had perched upon the banners of the gallant band of rustling hustlers, and all Phoenix, all Arizona will rejoice over tho out come. The dispatch fdads: "The money all deposited. Everything complete this week. Failure impossible." Work will be commeue'ed at once, the dam repaired, the entire structure strenghtencd and by October 1, eight feet of water will be flowing through the forty miles of canal and Gila Bnd will become once more tho Mecca of tho investor, the locator aud the seeker for good chances. The appeal suit of the Gila Bend Reservoir and Irrigation Co., has yet to have its day in court, but this will not interfere with the onward pro grerB of ths entarp-jV There is no section of the United States, or probably of the earth more rich in mineral wealth than the county of Yuma. All th country north, east and south of Yuma, lies directly within the main gold belt that commences in Alaska and ends in Mexico. From the San Bernardino mountains in California, to the Sonora bound ary line, the mountains and hills are exceptionally rich in the precious metal, as though demon strating the theory often advanced that the richest gold mines are found bordering the beds of ex tinct oceans; The great Colorado desert was once an inland 6ea, cut off centuries and perhaps ages ago from the main ocean leaving its waters to evaporate in this intense heat. Throughout all the country bordering the deserfyincluding thi section, rich mines" are being 'don stahtly discovered, and some of recent Ideation are" already produc ing immense pronts. In tnis neighborhood of Yuma, claims ex ceedingly rich on the surface are daily being located, and all signs portend a great Mining- boom for this county which will culminate as early as the coming fall in an nroad of much capital. Experts are arriving every week and mines are being bonded at more than J heavy prices. It seems wonderful to believe that all this mineral wealth has been lying at our very doors for so many years without a taker, but, as stated in a previous article, the tendency of prospectors is to go a long distance off intd strange lands rather than to seek for mines in a country as old as Yuma county and so accessible. The greater the distance, the hard ship, and the danger, the greater the fascination for the prospector. Distance seems indeed to lend en chantment to the view. So it is that this country is al most a virgin field for the mine hunter, and now with the few hundreds searching in its mountains its mineral secrets are Btill in effect secrets, for thousands upon thousand's might bewandering through the rock-ribbed fastnesses of our mountian' ranges and their presence be almost unknown, so vast is the extent of country. It is the purpose of the Immi gration Commissioner to devote a large number of articles to the mining resources of the county,! describing separate properties as well as possible with existing in formation, and it is proposed to first take up those mines that lie within a radius of a few miles of Yuma, being comparatively recent discoveries. It is of great im portance that those interested in mining districts in remote portion.4 of the county, give what informa tion they can to the commissioner. This town is filling up with would be purchasers of mining property and applications are constantly. being made to the commissioner for facts concerning prospects, mines, and districts. One of the most recent discover ies consists of a group of mines situate in the Gila range about twenty-five miles from Yuma. The group is composed of the following mines: La Fortuna, Half Moon, Bachelor, Sunset Christmas Gift, New Year's Gift, Alta, Arizona and Expectation mines, owned by C. W. Thoma?, Laurent Albert, Peter Farrell and V. H. Halbert. The first four mines are on the same ledge; the Christmas Gift, New Years Gift, and Aha parallel the ledge on the north, and the Arizona on the south. The Expectation, a large iron-capned ledge, lies about 500 feet south of the main group. These mines lie some 15 miles southeast from Blaisdell station on the Southern Pacific railroad ,a'hd are easily accessible by good wagon road. Water for domestic purposes is close at hand and the Gila river is about fourteen miles distant in a direct line. For hiill ing purposes water can be pumped from the river to the mines, aud there is an unlimited supply ol wood. The country formation is slate, shale, porphry and granite, the ledges being in slate. Only a limited amount of worl has been done, the deepest shaft being but twenty five feet, but as far as exposed the rock ip exceedingly rich, and the width of the ledges unknown- For the twenty-five foot shaft the ledge was stripped across for a distance of twelve feet without any indication of a wall, and the entire shaft is in quartz. The owners are poor men and, when they made their dis covery, had no means barring a grub stake. Thty shipped a car load of ore to the Selby Smelting and Lead Company, San Francisco and while taking it out they paid expenses by panning out the dust shaken from the quartz in the process of extraction. There were 336 saTjka of ore in the car-load. The value of the lot, returned, by the Smelting company, was $1,023 - 98. The working char&es, at. the exorbitant rate" of seventeen dollars per ton, ariiounted to $174 51, making a net return of $849.47. From this should be deducted $98.40 for freight expense. In addition there is a surplus of $63 gold panned out from the quartz dust. This is a most remarkable showing and hard to beat. When it is realized that this group of mines is but a short distance from, and in plain sight of a trail, travel ed for perhaps the last forty years, softie' idea ma' be formed of the possibilities of Yuma county, in the wav of mineral discoveries. . Slirrounding the above described mines, in all oirections, Messrs Gallagher, Cohen and Shoemaker have located a number of Hue prop erties which will be ni2de the sub ject' of a future article.

P. & P. train reached Phoenix at 3:30 Thursday morning. A recep tion committee of Phoenicians met the visiting journalists at their car f-arly iri the morning and after breakfaFt at the Commercial hotel, they were driven to the orange or chard, ostrich farm' and other points of interest in tfie Valley close to the city. In the afternoon they were taken on a special S. F. P. & P. train to Glendale and shown the wonderful fruit farms and other nteresting features of that locality. The visitors expressed themselves as delighted and surprised with hat they saw in Salt river valley and left Phoenix on the regular train over the S. F. P. &. P. on Thursday night. Tse session of the Department of Arizona Grand Army of the Republic closed its work at Flag staff, Ariz., effr Wednesday of this week and adjourned:. W. F. R. Schindler of Prescott was elected commander; J- Guthrie Savage of Flagstaff, senior vice-command'eY; Charles H. Knapp of Phoenix, junior vice-commander; represent ative to the national encampment, D. M. Riordan of Flagstaff. A county superintendent; in neighboring cbunty recently asked every teacher at the county insti tute that took their local paper to hold ud their hand, and out of about one hundred present only six responded, at which he expressed great surprise and said: "You don opend one dollar with these papers yet you expect them to print free of ohaige, notices ot institute; inser long program of the same, take full reports, of what you do and say on these occasions, publish your school reports, and then expect him to idvertise you and your ability m your chosen prolession, thus assist ing you to climb the ladder to higher positions and better salaries with out a cents patrongo in return You also think that if the editor does not viit your school and ex ploit your metho.is and the pro gres vour scholars are making which is to vour manifest personal advantage, that he is derelict to duty, never stopping to think that vou nave oeen equally nerenct; l not more culpably in neglecting to bestow upon him the cheap and scanty approval of a year s sub scription to hi paper." He closed by saying: Your conduct in this matter would lead., me, were I an editor of dne of these papers, to promptly throw into the waste basket arty communication sent me by any society, the members of which were too proud or too stingy to take my paper, or if I inserted it to demand full advertising rates for every line inserted. The above clipped from th Moberly, (Mo.) Monitor, is a just reproof to that class of prdfessidn als. who expect everything from the press of the country, but grant nothing in return. It applies to Arizona and other western states and territories as well as to Mis souri, and should be a gentle lesson in give and take. Summons.
