Show DO NOT RUSH TO ARIZONA. As a matter of in tore.1; t. to those of our citizens who have "Arizona on the brain," we-pubh.-h the following relative rela-tive to the chances to be taken to get there and the privations to be endured after arriving in the Territory. The account was given to Myron J. Angel by V. 0. Marley, an old Austin pioneer, pio-neer, and by him communicated to the White Fine News. A careful perusal will doubtless open the eyes of many j who. havo hitherto listened to but one I side of the story regarding the rich j mine?,, etc. : W. C. Marley, a gentleman well , known in Nevada, is one of those ' who has recently mado the country (Arizona) a visit and returned. He . considurs Arizona great ly overrated, j and that it can bear no comparison in mineral wealth to Nevada. To i I reach it, the moat terrible of burn- 1 i iug deserts mu.-t be crossed, and then there arc no facilities for mining; there are no goud houses, uiillfi, roads, nor conveniences of any sort; the mines aro neither plentiful, rich, nor accessible; living is expensive and poor, wages low and the people slow. The Vulture mine is undoubtedly rich, , and the great Tiger mine, of which so ' much is said to create an excitement, shows only a stratum of about four inches thickness in rich ore. Hair is tho surest crop, and that is raised chiefly by tho Apache. Having been the length and breadth of that delec- : table Territory, I can fully corroborate : the statements of Marley, and join with his advice to let Arizona alone. Eastern Nevada, with its many mines, railroads, good and cheap living, good society and all the comforts and advan-. (ages of life, is a thousand times I preferable to Arizona, and this is the opinion of all who aro Acquainted with the two. Carson Register. j |
