TlIE 0ITIZE2T. BATUMI) AT. APJtlLZS, 1S77. Itailuny EiM of Yunm. It has been published that the Smith-era Pacifia would lie built, this year, about 150 miles eat of Yuma.

The announcement has not had many be lievers, and yet late advices from Cali- fornia indicate that it will be done. 1Kb one doubts the ability of the com- pan- to build railroad up the Gila valley, at the rate of two to even five miles per ihty. It has been thought that the Texas Pacific company might interfere with the work, it haviug the grant on the Gila route, but without doubt, a compromise has been effected in so far as to permit the Southern Pacific to safely build almost on if not on the exact surveyed Hue of the Texas Pacific. The Southern Pacific engineers are, we are told, ihus establishing the line, and are now some seventy-five miles up the Gila valley. According to the ruling rates of freight, all this part of Arizona can get freight con-siderably cheaper from eastern cities via Xew Mexico than via California, and the difference in time amounts to but little.

With the road 150 miles up the Gila, a rate could be made which would command about all the freight business to this section and much ot that to and from Sonora. We are informed that the programme is something like this: Complete the road to Yuma; theu return the con-htruction force to the Bantas and Oakland road, which can be finished in sixty days then bring back all hands to rapidly build the road up the Gila. Aside from the increase of business which would be thus secured, the company would be almost irresistible before Cougress to ask and get moderate favors or to prevent any other company from getting an' at all and if the company sees that it is to its in- tereat to build 150 miles this side of! Yuma this year, the work will be done Gen. Wm. Vandevek, U.

S. Indian Inspector, arrived here by stage on Wednesday, and will remain for sev. eral days. He will make a thorough inspection of Indian affairs here and at San Carlos before leaving the Terri tory. He has already inspected the agency on the Colorado river and also the Pima and Maricopa auencv.

The last Congress declined to appropriate a dollar for either of these agencies. Owing to the pressing want for some aid, the General recommended and obtained a small allowance of means for relief at the Colorado reserve. Regarding the removal of the Pimas, he thiuks it out of the question, at present, -G'ttgress haviug provided that no more Indians should be taken to Indian Territory unless first authorized by law, and all things considered, he thinks their removal, if ever done, would perhaps be best made to the Colorado. lie is of opinion that a want of water will sooner or later compel a removal. He does not think the matter pressing now.

He expresses surprise at the extent their cropsi the. good cultivation done and the general thrift displayed by the Pimas. He also believes that they are not as badly demoralized as they were iu 1873, when he visited them before. Yet he is apprehe that the coming of the railway right by or through their reserve, with its increase of pop ulation and various kinds ot traffic, will exert a bail intluence. General Vandever has his quarters in the rooms lormerly occupied by Mr.

Hudson, on the corner north the court-house. of The Prescott papers are in a rage of an-rer. Last vear the county of Yavapai committed an outrageous fraud, by the placing the census roll two and one-half times as many names as there were people in the county. By this means purposely used, they got a much larger representation in the Legislature that they were justly entitled to, and thereby secured the passage of a bill removing the capital to Prescott. Various parties here from Prescott, during the legislature, admitted the fraud, and its ob-ject.

and laughed over iL Among the people of that county, the fraud is hardly denied. that proceedings at law are instituted with a view to a complete exposition of the fraud and if possible to defeat the object if the Prescott papers are wild with rage. Thay laid the plan for robbery; the plan lias been pushed to all but success; the robbers are at least temporarily restrained from perfecting the and being caught, knowing themselves truiltv, and liable to Iosc all but their criminal reputations, they are out of humor. All scoundrels arc under like circumstances. Coit's Land Owner of April 10, announces that patent been issued to V.

Forbush and S. O'Connor to the Empire mine and mill-site. This property is situated near the Patagonia mine in Pima county. Also patent to first north extension of the Metcalfe copper mine to Bela M. Hughe; Clitlon, Arizona.

M. Shannon andj At a sale of wool by auction in San Francisco, April the rates mainly ranged from 13 to ISlj cents per pound. This seems very low to a tuna in Arizona, and yet the dfopntch says the sale was considered a success.

1. San Francisco, backs 04 Ij'rti 91-14 April 24. Green- Jllnlnc Outlook in JMnin. At no time in seven years, to our personal knowledge, has there been such activity and general interest taken in mining affairs throughout Pima county as at present; nor has there been such hopefulnes-s among claimants and those seeking claims. And this hopefulness is uot the result of excitement but facts demonstrated by the development of lotles.

Almost everybody is now trying to secure claims, aud hundreds of new ones have lately been made, and upon many work is being done. Some months ago, T. Green Rusk sold a mine but little developed, in Pima district, to a San Francisco company represented by Mr. Diew. Since purchase, Mr.

Drew has been sinking and all reports say the mine is improving. Gov. Safibrd and u. W.Tozer visited the district last week. As before stat ed in The Citizen, Mr.

Tozer is a min ing man of experience in whose judg ment reliance may be placed, and lr. ex pressed great surprise at the rich prospects of the district. Col. C. P.

Sykes left for San Fran-cisco on the 22d, and took with him by stage about 1000 pounds of ore from his claims on the San Xavier mines. Col. Sykes is an experienced miner aud he has no doubt of a satis factory result. There are five grades of silver ore all carrying more or less lead. He has men developing the mines.

Capt Voissard and Mr. McCafferty have made a number of new locations in Guija district, and have from twenty to thirty men developing them. About a week ago, a single blast threw up about COO pounds solid ore lrom which Capt. Voissard broke a piece weighing 104 pounds aud sent it to Sau Francisco by stage. He says the developments are far above expectations both in quantity and quality of ore.

He has no doubt but that the various shipments of ores to his associotes in San will induce them to take practical hold of mining in the Guija district. Among the locations, is one vein every piece of which prospects well in gold. Mr. Samuel Hughes says the Espe- ranza is developing so favorably that Mr. Pacheco regrets very much that he with the other owners bonded it to Major Lord for $25,000, aud believes more than that sum can soon be taken out.

According to all reports, this mine is now proven very yaluable. Late news from Arivaipa canyon is yery lavorable. Un luesuay, Ihos. Ewing aud C. W.

Tozer went out there and next day Gov. Safford and Col. Shafer left for an inspection of the veins there, far as opened. Tom Roddick left this week with provisions to developc a mine in the Sata Rita mountiins, and lie informed us that L. M.

Jacobs Co. were taking an interest with him. The samples broght into town are rich beyond question aud appear to come from a stioug vein. In these references, we make no mention of the many mines of established value which have often been more or less described in The Citizen. Agent Clum Itt-porls I'rotjrcsi.

We received the following encouraging dispatch on Thursday: Soctheux Aj'aciik Agency, N. April 21. Arrived last evening. This morning arrested Geronimo and two other prominent renegades. Counted four hundred aud thirty four this afternoon.

A few mo'e to come in. Troops will be here to-morrow. InJian police have been very ellicicnt. Joiin P. Clum.

Agent. The following is a "Washington dispatch of date April 10, and throws light upon the above: John P. Clum, Indian Agent at San Carlos Agency, Arizona, who was recently directed to remove about 109 renegade Apaches from Hot Springs, Xew Mexico, to San Carlos, reports to the Commissioner of Indian Affairs that the Indians are on their way there, and requests authority to remove COO other Apaches at lint Springs to San Carlos. The Commissioner replied, granting the request, provided he lias power to enforce his authority. Agent Clum is supported in his expedition by a squad of military.

The Prescoit Miner "hears" and "is credibly informed' regarding, mail and stage line is arranging to put supplies at San Carlos, and then fol- t-- i i ion a daily hue from uma to Tucson lows up witli a lot of unqualified false-: Mm i via Florence, and to Prescott via hoods. It figures out $102,000 (lour at that point, when the whole amount that can be paid during this fiscal year, is not a dollar above Aud the same proportionate mis-reptesentation is made by it regarding the beef. But the Miner will continue to falsify everything connected with the civil management of Indian af-fairs in Arizona. Among the Army promotions noted). by the "Washington Republican, April 0.

is that of Second Lieutenant Julius pAnCo, to be First Lieutennnt vice O'Connor, dis-mised. This must re- fer to Lt S. O'Conuor. who was well, jmiged by our letter from lion. II.

aud qnite favorably known in Arizona' Stevens and also from the following zona for many years. It is very hardj from a iute number of the Los to believe that Lt. S. O'Conimr hasLvnceios Kduiblican: been guilty of anything that would justify any severe sentence, and believe we shall vet hear that he was not. The San Francisco Bulletin says the Melrose works, near Oakland, are al-j rcadlv receiving rich ore from ceive large quantities hereafter in the Fame wav.

The Capital Cane. The Argument of Messrs. Farley Poniroy in the hearing before Court Commissioner Carpenter, for an order restraining the Secretary of the Territory from removing the capital to Pres-cott, is on the first page of Tiie Citi zen. Notwithstanding the array of high authorities cited and strong ar guments made to justly call for the order, it is not expected that the Prcs- cott officials who perpetrated the cen sus fraud of Yavapai aud their aiders and abettors, will acknowledge them as sufficient for the purpose intended. Criminals cannot be expected to ap prove of law or court proceedings which thwart their bad acts, but the outraged people will.

In this case, the rascals now "assume a virtue thoutih they have it not." Their organs talk of the rights of the people and the sacredness of the observance of law, just as if they had some regard for either. Temporarily, at least, their scheme ot fraud meets with a check. They are mad of course. The argument of Farley Pomroy will C'invince the mass of fair-minded, common sense people, that the plain tiff has a case, and that the Court Commissioner could not have justly refused the order, and the writhings of the rascals who perpetrated the fraud which made the proceedigs nec essary the interest of the present and future welfare of the Territory, will neither frighten iior disturb honest people to any noticeable extent. They now rave at Judge French and Sccre- tary Hoyt, but if they think they can gain by it, the will go to praising both though both may never deserve the praise of any but honest men.

If the validity of the laws are called in question, the Yavapai census fraud deliberately executed by Prescott officials, is the caue. The Bulletin and other California papers say the Desert Land Law ad mits of much abuse in the location of land, and so does every law admit of abuse which contains provisions for the benefit of the people generally, if men be can got to prejure themselves for a very small consideration. If land speculators or grabbers can find mauy men who will perjure themseves for a triflinir sum, abuses will surely take place; but notwithstanding all that may be done in this way, we believe the law a wise one, one that will mduce thousands upon thousands ofj people to try torcclaim aud own land that otherwise would not think of such useful employment of their time and means. We have hertofore stated and believe we were right, that tho Desert Land bill is one of the best passed by Congress relating to lands. Now let it be followed by a law that will make the timber laud of the mountains available by purchase without residence.

The great body ot the timber in the Territories is on mountains which cannot be occupied for permanent homes, and therefore laws that apply justly to timber lands many parts of the country, do not in Arizona ann other sections of the mountainous interior of the continent. One of the Saturday papers of yesterday had a reference to the controversy between Governor Safford, of Ari-zona, and General Kautz regarding the management of Indian affairs in that Territory. "Without pronouncing upon the efficiency or inefficiency of General Kautz, we know that the charges against Governor Safford Iu the eight years in which that gentleman has been at the head of civil affairs of Arizona he ha9 amply sustained his reputation for integrity aud fidelity. The records of the Interior Department show him to have been a careful and excellent ollicer, and there is no doubt that he would have been continued in ollico by the present Administration had he not preferred to retire, and heartily join in urging Secretary Hnyt for promotion to I he Governorship which he has just received. Washington Republican, April 9.

Yuma, April 23. First river boat from the steamer Xewbern, arrived this evening. All quiet below. Lines of the Atlantic aud Pacific Telegraph company will be Yuma in a day or two. The turntable was put in on Soulhern Pacific Railroad three miles from rianlen's ferry at noon to-day.

This is but eight miles Wickcnburg and Phenix. The Sentinel of Yuma has entered upon its sixth year, and we are glad to sec iu ils own columns tiie statement that "the year opens brightly," and "its circulation is steadily increasing." The Sentinel is in all respects better than ever before. Its local news is more full and of better quality. It is well writteu and exhibits firmness and independence in all matters discussed. We wish it abundant prosperity.

The name of the new Secretary of Arizona, is evidently J. J. Gosper Hon. J. J.

Gosper of Lincoln, has been appointed Secretary of Arizona. Mr. Gosper was a visitor here lat year and made many friends who will be rejoiced at his appointment. Los Angeles Republican, April 18: General Banning arrived yesterday Xavigalion Company at Yuma, where ne win luture resine. Telegraph Construction.

We are informed that the extension of the United States Military telegraph lines will be completed Monday next, and final connection will be made direct with Santa Fe, M. Lieut. Philip Reade, superintendent of this division, and Lieut. S. C.

Vedder, superintendent of the Mexico division, together with Mr. F. Speed, superintendent of construction, arc now at the "front" with a working party of upwards of fifty men. Scrgt E. W.

Boutelle of the signal corps, is camped at Point of Mountain with twenty- eight men, constructing a new line from that point to Camp Grant. Work on the Apache line will be commenced in about ten days, as also will the re- buildintr of the Tucson and Grant line. A telegraph office has been estab lished at McKcnzie's ranch at Point of Mountain, ou the Grant road. The Prescott Miner is pleased to remark that Court Commissioner Carpenter know- no more law than their "black cow," and also that a writ of mandate should be obtained from Judge Tweed, compelling the Secretary to moye the capital, or, in other words, to hasten the consummation of the Prescott fraud. Now this seems to show that if the Miner man or men have possession of any legal knowl-edge, it must be confined to their" black cow," for any school boy knows that Judge Tweed has no jurisdiction out side of his district.

The Miner men had better call on their blnck cow betore touchiug law questions again. "Washington, April 14. Under the law requiring the appointments in the Treasury Department to be distributed among "the States aud Territories according to population, there cannot at present be any appointment from Xew England, Xew York, Pennsylvania. Ohio, Marylaud. Delaware, West Virginia, Arizona or the District of Columbia.

Only one member of a family will be employed in the Department. Telegraph line down yeotcrday, hence no late news. Xothing of startling importance occurred in the political world early in the week. At latest dates the extra session of Congress had not been called, and the European news was of the same tenor as that published in The Citizen last Saturday. Hon.

II. S. Stevens was in Colorado on the 13th, and if Congress convenes in June, he will hardly relurn to Ari. zona till after the session. DIED.
