SURVEYING LAND IN TERRITORY.
checked, development hindered, cost of all sup- plies increased to astonishingly high figures, and none but extraordinarily rich mines can be oper- ated with profit. The Vulture Mining Company at Wickenburg has some two hundred men on its payroll; its mine is fifteen miles from its mill, and more than once men and teams on the road hauling ore have been murdered and stolen. Still its operations go on at a profit, except to human life. Recent discoveries of silver-bear- ing lodes, at Bradshaw Mountain, have started a new settlement, strong enough for self-protec- tion, but any road leading to it is very dangerous for small parties to travel. Labor continues on many old discoveries in Yavapai County, and the owners are determined to hold fast to their posi- tion, even amid danger, until safety is secured either by military power, or the population, which will certainly follow advancing railways. With the many terrible discouragements, numer- ous fortunes have been made by mining for the precious metals in Arizona. Led by Governor Safford, three hundred men are now in the un- explored mountains in search of mines, and inci- dentally, for timber and water, and desirable soils for tillage-grazing being first rate on nearly every mountain and table land, and in the valley. Large veins of proven good coal have been found in the White Mountains, near Camp Apache.
"TIMBER.
"Timber is much more abundant than gener- ally supposed, even by the majority who have traversed the travelled highways of the Terri-

tory. Pine, oak, and ash are the better varieties, but mesquite, cottonwood, spruce, juniper and black walnut prevail, all of much value for fenc- ing and fuel and primitive buildings. I speak from extended observation, when I declare that, except Washington, none of the Territories, ex- cel this in quantity of timber.
"AGRICULTURE.
"Excepting the rocky mesas or plateaus, craggy mountain sides, and here and there sandy and heavy alkali tracts, the soil of Arizona is very productive. Millions of acres which for want of rains in 1870, then appeared barren, are this year green with grass and reanimated vege- tation. The town of Tucson is located upon what many of its own inhabitants term a barren mesa, yet wherever a flower, shrub, tree, or vine is planted and properly watered, the growth is vigorous. It is a great mistake, which too widely obtains, that the plateaus here are worthless. The recent rains have fully demonstrated the richness of the soil, and what may be done by irri- gation. Areas of fifty and more miles, usually termed waterless deserts, are now green, and wherever persistent digging has been essaved, abundant water in wells has been found. Patient and skilfull labor will, in time, leave but a small portion of Arizona unproductive. In all parts there are valleys of unquestioned richness that may be cultivated profitably with little labor, and while many of them are occupied now, still more are monopolized by the savage Apache; yet each year one or more are penetrated by poor men, seeking a genial climate and independent means,

and though, in some cases, one-fourth their num- ber has been slain in a single season, the entire abandonment of any one settlement has not fol- lowed. The staple crops are corn, wheat and barley. I have endeavored to procure accurate statistics of agricultural products, but only in- definite statements were obtained. With proper tillage and auspicious seasons as large crops are produced as anywhere in the United States. For lack of rain about Prescott and in the Gila and Salt River Valleys, the staple crops are, this year, below the average, though some barley fields are reported to have yielded from thirty to fifty bushels per acre. One one-hundred-acre lot of corn, in the Santa Cruz Valley, south of Tucson, I am confident, will yield seventy-five bushels to the acre. Other lots in the same val- ley will be very light, owing, chiefly, to a want of cultivation. The same may be said of other localities. The soil is demonstrated to be very productive, and improper tillage, or, rather, no tillage, after seeding in poorly prepared ground, has occasioned more short crops than even scarcity of rain or any other single cause.
"Every careful attempt at fruit growing has been a success. Grape cuttings planted last year in Salt River Valley, produced choice fruit this. No one doubts the adaptability of our valley soils and climate to the successful production of nearly every species of fruit grown in the different lati- tudes. But for Indian ravages, discouraging the people, Arizona would, to-day, have fine orchards and vineyards.

HISTORY OF ARIZONA.
"GRAZING.
"As a whole probably Arizona is not surpassed by any State or Territory for grazing capacity. The area of rich pasturage is scarcely limited ex- cept by territorial boundaries. Reduced cavalry horses, carefully herded, regain their ordinary flesh and strength in two months, and beef cattle are fattened on grass at all seasons. Wherever the mountains have been explored, numerous streams and springs have been discovered, and, as before stated, water can be found by digging wells, as in other sections of our nation. Situ-
ated as we are, between the Gulf of Mexico and the Pacific Ocean, our markets will be al- ways large, and prices good. Reduce the Indian to a state of peace, and average honesty, and liberal fortunes can nowhere else be more quickly and certainly made in the stock business. If the Government will give Arizona reliable peace, I shall, thereafter, regard any of its official positions with personal indifference."
