INES.—The driving wheel
ot the business ot.this State at present, and
for many years to come, is the mineral , ex‘tracted from its soil,.and from that of the
other Padific States. No matter how opulant may be the grain fields of the valleys,

He says in the letter that. he-now thinks
that Plumas county is a pretty good place to
live in, and that Arizona is the most miserable and God-forsaken country he ever saw
ot expects tosee. The following passage
occurs in the letter: “I have had a few
shakes.of what they call chills and fever,
but I think:they are nothing more than the
shudders at the thought of being in sucha

‘Arizona seemsto-—be—the subject of the
strangest contradictions. We have convers‘ed with niany persous who have visited that
f. country, says the Stockton Independent, and
while some of them give precisely such accounts as the above, others speak of Arizona
as an-eartbly paradise in soil. and climate.
Such is the opinion of Ross. Browne, Col
; Poston and Mr. Mowry. The weight of tess
timony so far as numbers go,is on the other
side, simply beeause ninety-nine out of each
hundred Californians who have visited Arizona have traveled the reuté taken -by the
old overland mail, which is a belt of sandy
desertand rocky sterility, infested by Apaches
aud containing two or three miserable towns
“supported by the travet of that road and inhabited by wretched Mexicans and outlaws
from the United States, But south of Tubac
and Tucson, farther toward the sea, is an
entirely different sort of country, rich in soil,
clad with verdure in the spring, abounding
in fine timber, witha glorious élimate and
all the primitive elements inviting to settlement in a new country. Inearly days California was the ‘subject of the same contradictory statement.. One man who entered
the country by way of-Carson Valley in the
month of September, and passing through to
Sacramento only te sicken and weaken in
resolution at the dreary prospect, of burning
sun and parched up ground, would return to
the Atlantic States by sea and give a most
doleful account of California. Wigh him it
was nothing buta desert. Others who had
afterward visited the valleys ia February or
April, saw quite a different sert: of California
and reported accordingly ; and so we reckon
it is with Arizona.

well advised. It will not wantonly destroy
millions of property, or for selfish purposes
take out of the hands of one set of men property ‘which they have created to enrich anotherthat it may have part of the gain. But unleas all these varied interests are properly
represented there is no guarantee that blundering legislation may not plunge the miping
