The Chicago Inter Ocean says
editorially :
*‘lt is desirable that the terri
torial condition shall cease through
out tlio republic as soon as may be.
Washington, Montana, Idaho, the
Dakotas, Colorado, Nebraska, all
the territories, Nevada only ex
cepted, that have been admitted to
statehood during the past half ceu
tury have given good accounts of
themselves. Against each of them
objections were raised upon grounds
of paucity of population, or charac
ter of the residents, or climatic con
ditions, or quality of soil, or lack
resources for state revenue, but the
history of each of the young states,
Nevada not counting, has belied
the prognostics of evil; one and all
have prospered beyond beyond ex-r
pectation. As much is to be ex
pected from Utah, New Mexico
and Arizona. The democratic ma
jority in the House is understood
to lie favorable to the admission of
Utah and New Mexico, but to be
less favorable to the claims of
Arizona.
And yet, without disputing the
wisdom of the policy that would
endow Utah and New Mexico with
statehood, we make bold to say
that the claims of Arizona are as
strong as those of the adjacent ter
ritories. Arizona has not
been a refuge of’the lawless spirits
of this republic and that of Mexico;
it has not suffered the vicissitudes
of a community alternately boomed
and depressed by speculators. -Its
growth has been steady and health
ful; its immigrants have been of the
industrial rather than the adven
turous claß3. It has erected schools
for the education of its Indian
population at a cost of $300,000,
and they are maintained at a yearly
cost o? nearly $130,000. Its school
houses for white children in the
county of Pima alone are worth
$77,000, and are kept at a yearly
cost of $27,000. The counties of
Apache, Cochise, Coconino, Gila,
Graham, Maricopa, Pinal, Yavapai
and Yuma, are in proportion to
population as well provided with
schools as most districts in the
well settled states. Higher educa -
tion is avii'able through the
mediums of the territorial normal
school and of the territorial univer
sity, the latter with a corps of
eleven able professors of agricul
ture, mining and metallurgy, chem
istry, the ancient languages, civil
engineering, modern languages,*and
literature It also has its school
of art and several business colleges.
A people thus zealous in the work
of education display the best quali
ties of citizenship.
The resources of Arizona already
are great, and in time must he
magnificent. Large areas are ad
mirably adapted to grazing pur
poses. The mineral wealth, tho’
yet barely indicated by mining
enterprises, is reasonably esti
mated to be immense; the $4,000,-
000 or so already invested in mines
has produced satisfactory results.
Under a wise system of irrigation
the agricultural wealth of Arizona
must become fabulous; few products
of the temperate or the sub-tropic il
zones are unsuited to the irrigated
soil of Arizona. The winter cli
mate of the territory simply is the
finest in the world Capital is
flowing from the older settled
I .
| states into this promising region,
and its projected north and south
railway will connect the rich mill -
ing and farming districts of the
south with the coal fields and lum
ber regions of the northern boun
, daries.
The territory has an area equal to
. that of the combined states of New
York, New Jersey, Maryland,
Pennsylvania and Delaware, and
i soil and climate in which the
cereals of Pennsylvania can be pro
. duc-d side by side with the fruits
, of Southern California. To admit
. Utah or New Mexico and rejec f
‘ Arizona wouid be a blunder in
, practice of state making.

Many persons who visited the
Improvement Cnfbpany’s orange
grove last Sunday say that the Salt
River valley now contains the most
beautiful natural view in America.
Ninety acres, the entire orchard
are glowing with blossoms and the
air is filled with a delightful per
fume. This year seventy-four
acres are blossoming for the first
time and all the trees both the new
and older trees give promise of a
bountiful crop. Those who have
visited the orange groves of Florida
and Southern California say that
they have never before seen so
beautiful a sight as that now of
fered by the Improvement Com
pany’s orchard. Os the many
orchards in the valley the same
may be said, proving that the suc
cess of orange culture is assured.
The past winter has been the most
rigorous within the memory of the
oldest settlers yet the trees have
survived it entirely uninjured while
the orchards of Southern California
have suffered much from frost.—
Republican.
The Mining and Scientific Press
says active ‘preparations are now
being made for the next National
Irrigation Congress to be held
about September 15th, at some
point in the west not yet determin
ed on. The last congress, which
was in session about a week in Los
Angeles, October 1893, appointed
commissioners in every western
state and territory, whose duty it
is to prepare a report to be submit
ted to the coming congress, cover
ing all the features of special in
terest in each state and territory of
the arid west. These reports will
show the amount of arid and semi
arid land; the amount of land now
irrigated, and the acreage believed
to be irrigable; the sources of water
supply, developed and possible of
development; the cost of procuring
storing aud delivering water on
lands; state legislation, in force
and needed; national legislation as
to the disposition of arid lands and
government control of water sour
ces; and such other points as may
suggest themselves to each commis
sion as being pertinent to' their
own state.
San Pedro rivet enters Cochise
county from Sonora, Mexico, about
twenty miles from its southwest
corner, and flows west of north
almost the entire width of the
county, forming a valley about
eighty miles long and from a mile
to ten miles wide. Along the
stream, for a distance of seventy
miles, small ditches have been taken
out, and about twenty thousand
acres have been pi in cultiva
tion, udon three-quarters of which
crops are grown annually. Not
m-'re than a third of the water is
utilized. Under a judicious irri
gating system it is estimated that
from seventy-five thousand to one
bundled thousand acres could be
reclaimed in this valley. —Pros-

On the southwest end of the
White Tank mountains, and 6 miles
from Buckeye, Messrs, Roberts and
Kilraid are opening up one of the
richest gold in the territory. The
discovery was made some time
since, and the gentlemen have been
steadily at work, under somewhat
discouraging |circuinstances, devel
oping a property, which, if it holds
out as well as it has b r *gun, will
make its fortunate owners as rich
as any unselfish man could desiro.
They have sunk a shaft 100 feet
deep already, and are drifting to
connect with the main working
shaft which will be 9x5 feet. The
vein upon which they are working
so steadily varies from two to four
feet in width and averages from
SIOO to S3OO per ton in gold. The
gentlemen who reports the discov
ery is an old prospector, and has
long si ce passed “tenderfoot” pe
non, in which all that glitters is
gold. He says that he sat at the
mouth of the shaft three hours du
ring which time ore was being
hoisted to tho surface, and every
bucket of dirt contained varying
quantities of free gold.
In addition to this claim Messrs.
Welsh and Bilatho of Goldfield,
(the latter gentleman is superin
tendent of the famous Mammoth
mine) have five claims located on
the extension of the ledgo being
worked by Roberts and Kilraid.
An average run of the ore extract
ed fiom these claims shows S6O
per ton in gold.
Much activity is being shown
by prospectors in the vicinity of
these strikes and .we will be au
thorized to report a number of
other important discoveries.—Flor
ence Tribune.
A city election is coming on in
Phoenix and the usual amount of
wire pulling will no doubt be in
dulged in. It is fortunate that this
city election comes on at this time.
It will enable the political bosses of
Maricopa County who all reside in
Phoenix, to practice for the coming
fall election. It may be, however,
that the torch bearers out in the
alfalfa districts will not fall into
line this fall as they have been
wout to do.
The miserly millionaire Russell
Sage has been compelled to blow in
some of the surplus by paying te
Laidltfw the neat little sum of
$25,000. A dynamiter threw a
bomb at Mr. Sage and he forced.
Laidlaw between him and the
bomb. The explosion of the bomb
injured Mr. Laidlaw so that he
was laid up for repairs for a long
time and Sage refused to assist him
in any way.
The Prospector sayc the Indians
of Northern Arizons have a boome
rang branding iron. It is made of
light steel and placed on the head
of an arrow. Then with unerring
aim it is shot with such force that
it cuts into the flesh and leaves a
mark and when it heals it looks
like it had been burned.
President Cleveland has an
nounced that he will entirely ignore
the charges against Gov. Hughes
by his enemies. And the band
played Annie Rooney and Johnnie
comes marching home.
The “Army of the Commonweal”
is marching on to Washington.
Just what that grand aggregatidn
of the unemployed expect to accom
plish we are at a loss to understand.
