Gov. L. C. Hughes of Arizona
territory is stopping at the Fredo
nia. Gov. Hughes was one of
President Cleveland’s first appoint
ments under this administration,
having held office since April lest
He was one of the pioneers in the
settlement of the territory, and
grew up with the country. Nearly
a quarter of a oentury ago he re
moved from Pennsylvania to Ari
zona on account of failing health.
He regained his health and entered
upon the practice of law, and in
seven years he had accumulated a
comfortable little fortune He was
so well pleased with the new coun
try that he determined to remain,
and has never regretted h : .s decis
ion. Among his other enterprises
ho established a newspaper, which
he still retains, being the proprie
tor of a prosperous daily journal at
Tucson. When Gov. Hughes start
ed for the.west he carried an abun.
dant stock of eastern shrewdness,
and it was increased and brightened
through contact with the bustling
settlers of the new country. He
is thoroughly imbued with the
spirit of the west and now he
•breathes it and diffuses it about
him in conversation with every one
he meets. He moves nervously and
speaks rapidly and he never tires
of painting the wonders of the west.
When asked yesterday to say
something about his territory, the
governor responded: “About its
mining, agricultural interests, its
horticulture, its cattle or its irri
gation schemes—which ? It is such
a big subject I scarcely know where
to begin or to end. As to mining
the prospective legislation by this
Congress has had a tendency to di
vert operations from silver to gold
ruininig. Indeed, the dispositiou
in that direction has been marked
ever since the depreciation in silver
hegan. The largest silver produc
tion of any one year in our terri
tory was about $7,000,000 in 1881.
Last year it fell to about $300,000,
while the gold production jumped
to $1,250,000. This year I con
fidently expect to see the product
of the gold mines rise to $5,000,000
or $0,000,000. Within the next
ninety days 250 new gold stamps
will be running in Arizona. The
recent discoveries of gold have been
extensive and marvelously rich,
and there is little doubt that gold
mining in Arizona is just in its
infancy, and .that it will rapidly be
come vastly more profitable than
silver mining has ever been. Dur
ing the past sixteen years the pro
duct of our gold, silver aud copper
mines has amounted to $94,000,-
000.” It is about irrigation and
the reclamation of arid lands, how
ever, that Gov. Hughes is especially
enthusiastic and earnest. “These
are the burning questions of the far
west,” he declared. “When it is
considered that this reclaimed arid
land will yield from three to ten
times in agricultural products as
any farming lands in the eastern or
western states, it will be under
stood how important this question
is. It transcends all others to the
people of the far west. If this
congress will pass a law ceding back
under certain restrictions and con
ditions, the arid lands for reclama
tion to the states and territories in
which they are located, it will make
the country solidly democratic for
years to come.”
Gov. Hughes reports the politi—
-1 cal division in Arizona as being
J very nearly equal, and says it is
i difficult to say whether it Would be
a democratic or republican state if
admitted to the union. **The popu
lists have made considerable head
way and are becoming quite strong.”
The Prospector says a Tombstone
c>uple have resolved to prolong
their engagement ten Tears. The
experience of their married friends
has taught them that an engage
ment is more enjoyable and less
wearing than a marriage.

D. P. Nichols of Skull valley
wes in town last week. He says
that either hard tiroes or the low
price of silver has made his section
a favored one with gold hurnters,
there being at present over 'forty
men in the foothills east of the"val
ley engaged in pkcer mining with
dry washers. These old time fields
have produced thousands of dollars
in placer gold, and being easy of
acceswand as the pay dirt iiea but
a few inches from the surface, less
labor and expense is met with than
is usual in this character of mining.
He says in two days he cleaned up
an ounce of tine gold, while from
other camps in the district miners
aae making from $3 to $7 per day.

The Yuma Times says that' the
Picacho Mining Company started
up their work several days ugcr and
are washing the rich gold bearing
dirt. All the machinery ’ Works
well and the amount of gold secur
ed is said to be very satisfactory.
A short run will be made and the
sluices cleaned up. About 25 men
are emplyoed in two shafts and the
pumps are going night and day.
The success of the company is Hoped
for by everybody. 'I he Picacho
company has the largest pumping
plant in the United States for Min
ing purposes, costing nearly SIOO,-
000, elevating a twelve inch stream
of water to a height of 400 feet
above the Colorado river.
Eugene Middleton was in Glebe
on Tuesday, says the Silver Belt,
and he reports considerable activi
ty in gold mining above Riverside.
The principal mine in that diatriot
now in operation is the Baitig, own
ed by John Newman, formerly of
Globe. The ledge is from four to
five feet wide and averages ‘about
S2O in gold. The mill at the Bates
mine has been running for several
weeks and has already demonstrat
ed that it is a paying proposition.
Mr. Middleton also has a mine in
that locality which he thinks is
equally as rich as the Bates, t The
ore is free milling, and with a small
mill on the ground ought to pay
well.

The Tribune States thit'Mr.
Hammond, the newly appointed
receiver of the Florence ektikl; last
week tiled his bond and commenced
operations by puttiug 4 large force
of men and teams at work ; at the
canal head, to insure a more per
manent supply of water. The por
; tion of the canal filled up by the
flood will be cleaped and water
taken out at the headgate. It is,
. intended also to build the section
i of canal recommendedby the sar
i mers’ association, but how 6dOh it
! will b * done is not yet determined,
i The farmers under the canal ex
