Railroad and Stage to Prescott.
The cheaper route to Prescott is from San Francisco via Dos Palmas,
(160 miles east of Los Angeles) and stage thence through or via
Ehrenburg--Dos Palmas to Prescott being about 200 miles.
Express trains leave San Francisco daily at 4 P. M.--arrive at Dos
Palmas 2:10 A. M. second night.
Third class trains leave San Francisco daily at 4:30 P. M.--arrive at
Dos Palmas at 2:10 P. M. third night.
Stage leaves Dos Palmas immediately after arrival of the train, every
other night.
There are two rates of fare to Prescott via Dos Palmas and Ehrenburg.
First class, $78.10; third class, $67.10, coin.
The most comfortable, but more expensive route, is via rail to Yuma
River steamer to Ehrenburg, and stage thence to Prescott. But this
connection depends upon the running of the steamer up the river
from Yuma, of which the departures are irregular. Trains leave San
Francisco: first class, at 4 P. M.--arrive at Yuma second morning at
8:30 A. M.; third class, at 4:30 P. M.--arrive at Yuma third morning at
8:30 A. M.
Fare from San Francisco to Yuma: first class, $45; third class, $34.
Yuma to Ehrenburg: cabin, $15; deck, $10. Ehrenburg to Prescott, $33.

A daily stage connection is made from Yuma via Phœnix, by which route
through tickets are sold from San Francisco to Prescott, at first class
rates, $117; third class being $106.

The famous Turquoise Mine is in New Mexico, near the Arizona line. It
comprises two enormous open quarries, perhaps 200 feet in depth at the
deepest point, and covering an area of several acres. They must have
been produced with great labor, since there are no traces anywhere of
the use of tools or gunpowder. Tradition refers these workings to a
period of greater antiquity than the Spanish occupation, and declares
them to have been executed by the Aztec inhabitants of the regions
who preceded the present Indian races. Stone hammers have been found
in these quarries, but no tools of any metal. The trachyte is seamed
and fissured throughout, at small intervals, and in every direction;
and there is no reason to doubt that hammers, wedges, and levers
would be quite sufficient to remove the solid masses. The turquoise
occurs fully in the fissures, in the form of narrow seams and plates,
rarely or never exceeding the fraction of an inch in thickness. The
majority of the seams now exposed show the impure green variety, which
is worthless. The Pueblo Indians, like civilized people, value the
light-blue turquoise only.
Stage arrives at Florence every morning at 7 A. M. from Tucson, and
leaves half an hour later for Yuma; stage from Yuma arrives every
evening at 6 P. M., and leaves for Tucson half an hour later. Stage
to Globe City leaves every Tuesday at 8 A. M., and arrives at 8 P. M.
Saturday. Phœnix and Prescott stages leave every other day at 7 A.
M., and arrive alternate days at 12 midnight. Stage for Silver King
leaves every Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 7 A. M., and arrives every
Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday at 4 P. M.
The military-geographical surveys, up to the fall of 1876, under Lieut.
Wheeler, in central and western Arizona, have covered a total area
of 17,954.6 square miles, or 11,490,944 acres. Of this total, it is
estimated that 25 per cent., or 4,488 square miles, being 2,875,238
acres, are fit for agricultural purposes, mostly requiring irrigation.
The timber is set down at 10 per cent., or 1,149,094 acres. For
grazing, the estimate is 30 per cent., and as barren, 35 per cent. The
total available land in the area surveyed is thus set down at 65 per
cent., being 11,670.6 square miles, or 7,469,114 acres.

The surveyors for the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fé Railroad have pressed
work beyond Cimarron, New Mexico, and expect to extend their surveys as
far as Tucson, Arizona, during the present winter. The building of the
road, however, will depend largely upon the corporation’s ability in
obtaining a land (or other) subsidy from Congress.

Among the secondary precious stones that have been found in Arizona
are black and green tourmalines, peridots, beautiful garnets of every
tint, bloodstone, jaspers and agate of every character, while fire and
white opals are found in certain localities. Zircona, in crystals,
very minute, of the cube form, and in masses, has been discovered.
Sufficient vein matter has not been found to determine any rich deposit
of fine crystals.

[1] Not on reservation, but in charge of agent.
[2] The Papago Agency has recently been consolidated with that of the
Pimas and Maricopas.
[3] The Southern Apaches, consisting of the Gila, Mogollon, Mumbre,
and Chiricahua Apaches, were removed from the Hot Springs Agency, in
New Mexico, to the San Carlos Agency, in May, 1877, by Agent Clum.
[4] The Navajo Agency is in both Arizona and New Mexico. The Navajoes
mostly live in New Mexico.
The total areas of above reservations are 9,560 square miles; tillable
acres, 46,000. Besides corn and wheat, 5,200 bushels of barley and
oats, and 3,456 bushels of vegetables were raised; 380 tons hay and 800
cords wood were cut. The Navajoes sold woolen materials, principally
blankets, to the amount of $20,000. The number of church
members recorded is 13.
