Gov. John C. Fremont of Arizona, in his first message to the Legislature of 
that Territory, recommends that the Legislature ask the National Government 
for $500,000 to build roads in the Territory and open up its resources. He 
reports that there are millions of acres of land in the northern part of 
Arizona that only need a supply of water to make them valuable for farming and 
grazing. He believes that artesian wells and a system of drains would make all 
this section well watered and directs attention to such a measure as 
encouraging immigration. The Governor reports the Indians quiet, and, as 
showing a peaceful disposition.
