SATURDAY, AUGUST 17, 1S'J5 AN INTERESTING HILE- Geologically oc cf Ihe most interest ing hills within a laJius cf a rcore of miles cf Tucson is a twenty r.cro patch of rock thiK. lies on the Quijotoa read pome five or sis miles co:thet-t cf the Sigicaw mire and lees than fifteen ;:.il -s west of Tu jsoh. It is limestone in for m .tioc, cct mcr than 100 feet high, GOO feet wide by about 1500 feet long, lying north and south. On the west it rises an abrupt bluff, tipped up by a mighty v,oH fmm t! hnltom of eld mother b, w th nil it? wealth of conchiferom life embedded in the then coy lirae bat cox hardened almost to adamant, 1)7 pressure an 1 boat. On th east the hill eope? gradually to tho top of the western bluff and i5 covered with r bnvy grovth o' palo ver.-v.. Strangely enough this liu.est:ne hill is mineralized to such extrnt that it hr.p been located a minicg cl.iui, and was in the cariy eighties fold by Hon. Sana Hughes to eastern capitalists for S25.(00. Later it parsed to the ownership of Douglas Srjyiier, v ho t various time? extracted find shipped ore to the value or over fCOOO. With f ilver "in place" it is claimed that lbs ledge can Etill be prontably worked Fiom one Email pocket on the southern end 83100 worth of ore was ttken. But is not as a tninirg claim that it attracts the attention of the cofmrgoc let. The hill t-tneds dene, a mere hand ful on the great plain. It3 surface is flutled and corrugated into a thousand fantastic line-, laced with dyoiite an4 beited with tilicicus cr-rcrelions. It belongs undoubtedly to what geologists ere pleased to call the carboniferous r.ge, in which period the great coal bodies c'. the world wore formed. Coral, brnchi opod, laniellibanehate and- kindred fit-h aud shrl s everywhere abound. These, nor cxide of raiagauese, biing harder than t:e liiue it ia which they are imbedded, ar.d left eusceptib'e to the influence of time which has eroded the surface t f the lime, are lesn wci n acd can be had in ah Eizes and d.-g'-ees of perfection. Aioct the lines cf ttratiCxatiou they are the niDit numerous, but elsewhere cn ti evrpircr of the reck they appear to hive been thoroughly mixed. From th shafts punk on the eastern elop higher f jrms cf animal life have been t .ken. Fossilized seaweed is also abun dun. In a large blow hola at the foot of the Ei-teru biuli the Indians have in time gone by made their borne, end the rocks are full of holes in which they ground their cor.i. The Isirgr-r number of tbe.'e howvr, are r.v.r the northern point of the hill. Broken pottery is abundant anl a rattle-cuke can occaoionfilly be turned up without much hunting for. On Ue whole the bill is wonderfully full of interest to the fctudectcf cature. A DiECOUKT OK THE ARIZONA KICKER. The fun cf bein a newspaper man went out when the railroad c;.me in.

A Washington U tter of August 0 ays thtt the department of Etate did a x very unteejmg xning wncn u reiuneu to receive public contributions for the issislance of tho wife and children of ex-U. S. Consul Waller, who is in prison in France, on what is believed to be a rumphed up charge. This women and hsr childreu are ia Madagascar, in want. The officials of ths department of state n!ormed the counsel of Waller, who are trying to get this government to do something to g:-t him out cf prison, if ie is unjustly there, that there was ro public fund from which money could be aken ta relieve tha wifa and children of this American citizen, even though they starving iu a foreign bind. The counsel then appealed through tha newspapers for publio comributi-jcp, asking that they be sent to tha department of etate, to that they could ba transmitted at once to the United Sc-nsul nt Madagas- ar. Tha oHicn!s refused to either re ceive or transmit the contributions, on the flimsy ground that there was no law authorizing them to do so. Tbero may be co man-mnda l iw to cover a case cf this sort, but there is a higher I&w hat of humanity which would have furnished authority, which neither ths American people nor their representa tives in congress would ever have ques tioned, had these democratic officials used it. Bf.cacee cf toe apparent lull in the ranka of the Arizona democracy the public fondly hoped and as fervently prayed thai an armistice had been 6i?c- el and that the governor bad forgiven the sins of the Cockleburrs and had udden them faast on the crumbs of cf that fell from bis ofiicial table. But ;t appears otherwise, for the wage cf war ia etill on and vials of presidential .vralh a? o expected to cross the plains from Washington. The fiat "he's got to go this time, sure," has been boldly aa5ed alons the lino and a new era of waiting and watching has been begun In the meantime the corn crop will con tinue to grow, hogs to fat'en, water "millions" to ripen, future presidents to tpricg up and Governor Hughes to .-x?rci-e the- duties of his .clues wisely and well.

Texas newspapers, more especially those in touch with Aransas Pass and vicinity, are full of commendatory noti C3s cf the great deep water scheme now in course of development at Aransas Pass.

Brewster Cameron, the Ex press publishes a biographical eketch and declares him to be the connecting link between capital and the vast enterprise now under way on the coast vt Texas and which, when com pleted, will commercially revolutionize that country within a radiousof atboue and miles. The fact that be did in Texas what no other man could do is no surprise to those who knew him in Ariz ona, but that Arizona could not have had the advantages of his plendid capa bilities is deeply and profoundly to te regretted. A new and resourceful ttate is soon to be born into the Union and hipb for the hour are needed. Such man wjuld Brswster Cameron have been bad hi fortunes 6till been with us. But he was barra6ted and hounded by men who had failed to bleed bim linan cially and, who failing in their nefarious designs professed to fee evil in whatever good be accomplished and the result waa that Texas will reap what 6hould haveb-en the harvest for Arizjna. The state will he full of great pos-'ibili- ief ard men equal to the occasion will be in demand.

Cochineal Bns in Arizona. - Oa Saturday last the cochineal bug (Coccus cf:c:i) made its appearance on the Military plaza in large numbers. Thev were scattered more or leE9 over the entire surface of twenty acres. How they got there cr from whence they came has not bjen determined, although by the brilliancy cf their color they created considerable curioeity and inter est. They were nil sizes, from a littie red epeck not larger thtn a pm bead to bodies nearly hair an 'nch Jong. In color they are a dark purplish red with three locgitidunal etripes, one from the back of tho shoulders, tha others down either side. Underneath thc-y are of dull gray color. Thty are hemipterous ins -ctp cf the bark lou-e family and are raised in enormous quantities on Mexi co plantations of cactus (Opuctia cochin ill. feral, upon which they thrive.it being grown for them. It is hardly probable that the insects found here are of the vnr iety cultivated in southern Mexico for commerce, as Arizona is probably too far north, but there is 6aid to be a Calilor cia variety lighter in color and less val uable tbaa their southern relatives. One curious feature ia that there appears to be co males amoncr them. B9 the latter ure witiged. This, though, could possi blv be accounted for from the known disproportionate number of males to the females, there beintr but one of the former to about 200 of the latter. They are known to the Mexicans by the name of "Ancelitas. or little accels. A number of them havo been submit i eed to authorities for determination. OUR EASTERN NEIGHEOR.

Willcox has an excellent sclmr I house and two churches, which lire evidences of the intellectual aud moral standard of the inhabitants of thet place. The Western Stockman pablished by Mr. Pugh is another evidence of intel lectuality and also of the fact that cattle raismgisaa important industry. The late nam? have changed the appaarance of the country, instead of the mirages, a sea of verdure cheers tho owner of the cattle herd, acid through tha summer cloud ho perceives a butui of hope. the Sulphur faprmg vtdley will some day be alive with cattle and Willcox he principal fehippicg point. From Willcox 1 went to Benson to take the train to ths world renowed copper town liisbee.

E. intersects the latter road and then rucis iu a southeasterly direction to B:sb:-e. The train starts from Benson at 11:20 a. ia. and reaches Bisbee at 3:20 in. Tho town r f Bisbee is so named in honor of Mr. Bisbee, the partner of Mr. Lu Yv illiams, ths present foreman of the Copper Queen smelters, and who is 1880 made the tirtt location in that ramp.

Uopper mines are ndeed safer and furnish the greatest good to tho greateet number. The town s built on the side of the mountain and along deep arroyos. Tee Copper Queen companv has a ruperintendect in the person of Mr. Ben V 'hiams who attends with as much diligence and faithfulness to the inter ests of tho company as to the comfort and welfare of the employees. The town is supplied with ice, electric ight and good water by t:ie company at very low rattB.

Gambling and drinking are the vices comuiou to the people cf mining camps and Bisbea is not the exception. I noticed at thie ulace, thut there is a reat aiiireucea in results from calling a man a dog ia the western etyle. A email man was so called by a large man, tlie littie man accepted the term as a term of endearment; at another place, a drunken old man applied the same term to an able bodied miner, aud was instan tly knocked down for trying to be on 60 familiar terms. The moral to be de duced is "Do not call a man dog unless you are poseeteed of ttrong dynamite forre." From Bisbee I went to Tombstone. This is now co longer an ironical term. The came is well applied anu the epitaph should read: ''This once beauti ful ar.d prosperous city, was mlleJ by the perfidy of two parties who sacritied the nation to elect u president.'

By Jacob WoMner, Wool Uroter and Commission .iicimaui, or. sin js liluxomesls., ban Francisco. The spring season of 1S93 was remark able for the early shearing and quick disposal of wool. Shearing commenced early and growers were more disposed to sell right at shearing time than former ly. Vary little went forward cn consign meet. 1 ho condition of wool was not very good, fully 80 per cent of the San Joa quia acd foothill wools had cockleburrs, owing to the ecarcity of feed in the fall of lb'Ji, and the cheep had to bo grazed oa river bottoms. Most of the Bheep were in poor condition during the early winter and wool did not grow much, eo thettapls was short. All light and nearly free wools were sold rapidly on arrival, both consigned and wools bought in the country, r.8 buyers paid for wool as much in this market as it was soiling for at .Las tern sea bncL.1 markets. Everybody met the market especially as foreign advices were not encourag ing. Nevada wools came earlier acd mora of them than formerly and were bettor conditioned than they have been for eome years and found a ready market. Prices ruled for March, April, May and up to the middle of June as follows: San Joaquin years fleeces front 4J to6;jc. San Juaquin o inos, heavy defective 4 to t c. San Joaquin light andliee..... 5to..7C I-'oot hilis from to i c. Sacramento Valley free q to nc. Sacramento defective 6 to s c. Sonoma, Mendocino & Humboldt free. . io to 8 c. Sonoma, Mendocino defective 7 to Sf c. Nevada Bold from G. to 10c according to ehtrnkage. From tee loth cf June prices ruled from one to two cents per pound higher, but the buik of the wool had been disposed of. Very few Ore gons cime to this market this year, but what came were sold at good prices, in fact, for Oregoca this is the be9t market, as we have six 6couring mills who can use 1 hose wools to advantage. Tho only drawback is, that freight east, from most points in Oregon and Idaho, is about the same, or even from soma parts less, than to this market. We could al ways use to good advantage eix to eight million j oucda of Oregons acd Idahon a year, if we could get lower freights. The outlook is good for a steady mark et for our fail wools, especially those in good condition. There are several rea sons why wool advanced. In the first place the prices were lower than woof could be produced. All indnstries are in healthy condition. Raw materials and Produce advanced in prices. Wages were raised by most manufacturers. Then thacka to the free wool turill"? the clip in the United States will fall short owing to the destruction of a large cum ber of Hooks as estimated by the liur- eau of Agriculture at about ;i,000,(iOO lbs. and those in the trade consider 100, 000,000 lbs. a pmall estimate. It is hard to fortell whether the marK- et will etill advance further or stay where it is, as if our domestic wool go too high manufacturers can draw from all sources of the world, and our mark ets are regulated by London and ether European markets. Ihe imports ol lore- rgn wool to this country up to July 1st shows that we imported 2C0.711 bales, or about 100,000,000 lbs. more than we did last years up to this time. At the Lon don salt3 juet- cjosed nearly r&0,OCO,0(;0 lbs. were bought for the American mar ket. Still we hope for the best and with a crotective congrrss beginning its ses sion in December, and the election of preeident next year, wbrn the beauties of low tariff and free wool will have been fully tested. I am 6iire we will have better times and would therefore advise all my friends and those iu the business, who have sheep, to try to keep them End raise good etock for both mut ton and wool, as there will be ns much money in the business cs there ever was.

At Sacaton Agency, Tbc followicg report of Farmer Berg er give a pretty fair insight into the con' dition of the Papago Indiana on the San Xavier reservation. The report ia nearly a year old but aa Indiana change but little for better or worse in so abort a time their condition in 1891 may be fair ly well accepted aa existing cccditioca today. We publish this report for the reason that attempts have recently been made to tir up an ill feobng against them on tho char-res of lawlessness and theft. Pima Agency, Arizona, San Xavier res ervation, August 2o, lbJl. S.r: I respectfully beg to eubmit the following anuual report of the status of this reservation for the liscrl year end ing June oOth, 1S94. Too San Xavur Papage Indian reser vation is situated about nine milje south of the cily cf Tucson, in the county of Pilau, of this territory. It waa eet apart as a reservation by an executive order in lb, I, and approved by an act of con gress in 1382. Tbt nearest railroad 6ta tioa is Tucson on the Southern Pacitio railway. In 1S90 11.CC0 acres of this reserva tion were alloted to 291 Papago Indians, (including 71 wives who did not receive any land, mskmg a tolal of .SbS). rAch head of a family w as apportioned 20 acres cf irood farming land and from 50 to 8'J acres yf timber land. The oly timber growing on th reservation ia theeo-callod mtsquite, (Bot. Proeopis juliilora). The baiunce of the allotted laud, as well as the residue of the reser vation, (27,000 acree), consist of 60-call-ed mesa or table lasd cf very little or no value, and unlit for allotment. Neither wh tea nor Indians would be able to make a iivicg upon suck land. There fore the general opinion which 6eems to prevail, that I hero is still enough unal lotted land upou this reservation on which a largo number cf Indiana could be settled, is incorrect. 1I the farm land and also the greater part of the timber Irnd is enclosed by a very substantial wire fence of frcru four to live wires. Many of the Indiana have fenced in their own pircls of farming lacd eepanitely, some with brush, others with wire fences. 'J he last census shows the following population: Mates Females Tot. Papago allottees 17G 182 368 None allottes CJ C5 131 Grand total 215 2l't 492 Thereof are children of echool age from G to IU years G2 G3 130 This census which I have taken very accurately ehow9 an increase- of the al lottees of three in number over last year (:55), but still a docrease of five as com pared with the census ol isixi, when the allotment waa made, which then showed 3G3. About three fourths of the Indiana are christianized and belong without exception to the Catholic church. Masa is hel i every two weeka in the old mis sion church by a Catholic priest and ia attended regularly by thePapagoa. Six teen children have been baptized and nice couples married in accordance with Catholic ritea during the past year. The day school conduoted by the Sisters of St. Joseph haa continued to be a great benefit for these Indians. The number of children attending school haa in creased during the past year; 20 boye and ;r girls are enrolled cow with an average attendance cf 17 boys acd 2G girls. The larger girls receive instruc tion from the Sisters in sewing and dreea making. Oa last Christmas day the lat ter arranged c very nice school exhibi tion which I havo reason to believe tended greatly to encourage parents and children alike. These 6isters have ac complished a great deal of good in many ways. With the f-.ssistance of my new policeman, who is ao educated In dian from the Albuquerque Bchool, I hope to briug a greater number of chil dren to echool. There are two classes of Indiana on this reservation, different each from the other iu habits and customs, each hav ing its own chief. One class consists of those who, as well as their ancestors, have always lived upon this reservation; they are a better class of Indians, more advanced in civilization, live in better bouses, are more honest and generally j more atneu?.M to good advice than the others. They send their children to school. The other class consists of those who have immigrated gradually from Indian villages in southern Ariz ona; they are of a more roving habit and nomadic dispositiou, living for the most p-i.-t in huts or wigwams. They are aa a rule opposed to civilization in any manner and will not tend their children to school. The disturbing element and the few malcontents belong always to this class. They desire to ignore the word ''obey" and appeal to the agent only wheu through their perversity they tied theni6elvea in trouble. All this does not tend to improve the habits of the better class, but fortunately there are comparatively few of theBe malccn tents. All the Indiana C3 this reservation dress iu the manner. cf civilized persons, and about all the women's anel child ren's clothing is made by the wives and b.rger girls. These geod results have jeen brought about by the continuous efforts of the Sifters of SL Joseph and Mrs. Berger. A distribution of a few eei. sing machines among tho young wives an i intelligent girls would be a great benefit to these Indians. Mr'. Berger may bo said to be the physician of the Indians. The agency phytician is about 90 miles distant and far beyoEd the reach of our sick In dians. Mrs. Berger having a very fair knowledge of the berba and plants from long experience, administers to tha ia of the sick people with great success, making also use of the medicines f ur rished by the agency, acd the etate of the Indians' health may therefore be called quito satisfactory. In regard to farmining I must fay that the past year waa not prosperous; the want cf tools and reeds made it-elf very much felt. The Indiana could not plant as large an area as they usually did acd many of them planted very late, a circumstance which pre cludes good results. In this connection I would refer ou Dart of my quarter ly report, dated December 3'J, 1893, which reads: "The Indiana are cow irrigating aod planting their barley and wheat; but this work is not done aa faet and aa well as it might and could bo done if the necessary farming tools were on hand. They are very much in need of the farm ing implements for which I made requi sition in time. As stated in my last annual report the Indians had only one half of an average grain orop and their second plantiag, beans, corn, eta., was entirely destroyed by locusts; they are thereCore absolutely without means with which to buy the necessary farm ing tools that command such high prioes Highest of all in Leavening Power. Latest U. S. Gov't Report in this locality. Many of the Indiana and it difficult to procure wheat acd barley seed, and more of them will be unable to obtain any at all; it is, there fore, indispensable that the Papago allottees be provided with about 3,000 pounds of wheat seed and with the necessary farming implements as re quested in my list of August 20th. I always have done my best to induce the Indians to early planting but m ordr t be successful in my efforts I must have the seeds and tools in time. If we do cot get the plows at once the Indians will have to use again the old style wooden plows which are in reality only a forked stnek of meequite wood. For the above stated reasons the In diacs have not planted as large an area as in the previous year; but, in as much as the average of the crops was better, they harvested about the same quanti ty aa they did last year. The quality of the wheat, however turned cut to be inferior by reason cf its boing infested with smut to a very great extent. Their wheat haa been infested with smut for ever so' many years, and aa they have never been supplied with clean seed- wheat, and had co means to procure it, or to buy blueetone in order to destroy this parasitic fungus, they have been obliged to use their own infected grain as seed time and again, so that their wheat is totally until to be used as seed. It is a matter of urgent necessity that the government furnish to these Indians about 10,000 pounds of good cle j.n wheat for eeed. Inasmuch as there is enough wheat on hand at the agency from the earrings of the flouring mill, I would suggest that these Indians here be apportioned the necessary Beed from there, aa thia can be done without any great expense to the government. The satisfactory results of last year's cutting barley for hay haa induced many more Indians to cut and bale their barley crop aa hay. If we had the mower just received and hay press I asked for last year a better profit could be obtained. The expense involved here for baling hay amounts to $2.50 to $3 per ton. Our so-cailed eecond crop, consisting of beats, equash, etc., ia in good condi tion and promises to be a full average crop, although, ice loousts nave again put in an appearance, fortunately these insects are not nearly eo numerous as they were last year when they des troyed everything as reported. During the last year the Indiana have been engaged in cutting wood and haul ing the same to the city cf Tucson to a greater extent than in any previous year; ia fact they have supplied the market with this articie far above the ordinary demand, so that the price of the wood has fallen from its former valuation of $4 to $5 per cord to about $2.75 to $3. Besides the al!ott?e them selves who possess timber land, there are a great many non-allottees who have no timber or wood of their own. These, according to my census, have increased on this reservation from 72 to 134 since last year. As they have no wagons of their own they hire these vehicles on shares from Mexicans living near the reservation and engage in the business of Belling wood, which, ia the city, is always a cash article. The more wood business they can engage in the less at tention they will give to farming. As the dry wood or "waste" wcod is be coming scarce the Indiaus have begun to cut standing timber in a rather in discriminate fashion; the atmosphere here is very dry and the cut timber therefore becomes very soon market able wood. I have done my best to stop these proceedings, but as long as there is co law to arrest and punish by imprisonment such offenders, they will j persist in their nefarious conduct and will undoubtedly destroy all the timber long before the final patent will be issued for their lacd. I consider thia a very Eerioua matter acd would urgently recommend that something be done iu the premises with out delay. The Papago allottees uave cot yet claimed any of their rights as citizens, but at the same time they havo done their duty as citizens in this respect that they have worked on the public roads under the supervision of the coucty road-overseer from the village of San Xavier to Tucaon, one-hundred and twenty-five allottees having each given one day's work for that purpose. This waa done to comply with the territorial law exacting this duty from every male citizen between the age of 21 anu 50 years, or in default of said labor a pay ment of 2. Besides doing this work we have open ed a new road on the reservation aad built two bridges, for the construction of which I furnished the lumber from my private means, as my request for said lumber had been disregarded. Five arreatB have been made during the past year: One for wife beating, the culprit being sentenced to sixty days imprisonment, acd four for bringing liquor into the reservation. These four liquor casea are still pending in the U. S. District Court at Tucson. There ia also a case pending against a Chinaman for selling liquor to these Indiana where the accused ia held under bonds of 500. 00 All these cases will probably bo dis posed of at the term of Court which meets in September next at Tucson. Notwithstanding the fact that it ia very diSlCl't to obtain an Indian's testimony in a liquor case I have been successful in obtaining auffictent evideAvr-0 con vict the aboye mentioned defendants; but in aa much as Judge Bohcger of the U. S. Court at Portlaod, Oregon, has de cided in a late case that Belling liquor to an Allottee is co offence against the law, for the season that the Indiana tak ing land in severalty makes them citi zens in the eyes of the law, I am afraid that above mentioned parties may cot be convicted. Should this be the ca?e then the Belling of liquor to Indians will be practiced to such an extent that it will become very difficlut to keep this reservation where there are bo many Allottees in an orderly manner. In regard to the liquor traffic and the cutting of timber I shall address you in a separate writing begging for your in structions in these matters. Theee Indiana have never received deserved attention from the department which, aa a rule, h been liberal in its assistance to Allottees and especially to tnoea who have Bhown an inclination towards farming. Theee latter have al ways been supplied with the necessary eeeds and farming implements with the exception of thia reservation. During the last two years we hare not received one foot of lumber, an article so much needed for the construction of water gates, fence gates, coffins, eta. When an Indian dies some of his relative? ap ply to me for a sufficient amount of lum ber to mate a coffin. I give thia from my private etook, takiag chances of be ing remunerated for the same; in soma cases I am repaid, but quite frequently cot, because these pecpie are too poor. When a rousty pauper dies L indecent ly buried at the expense of the county; but the Indian poor, the wards of tha government, even though christainized, are buried, for the want of a few boards, in an old blanket contributed by chari ty; for blankets theee Indians have never received. Although my forge is kept going pretty constaotly, sharpen ing farming too'e, eta, for tha use cf the Indians under my charge, I have never received one single pound of coal. If these Indians had their wantB suppli ed in accordance with my recommenda tions during the last four years, they would be in much better condition. They are well enough inclined towards farming, but they know, and have ex perienced the fact, that farming with, good advice alone, without tools cannot be successfully operated. During four continuous years I hava made request after request for tha assis tance indicated aa above. I have sent in list after list of farming implements required, always confining my demands to the most urgent needs. During tha four acd one- half year that I have been the Farmer-in-charge of this reserva tion, these Icdiacs have received oke farm wagen. When I stated in my re port of last December that these Indians had always been treated by the govern ment like greatly neglected step chil dren, I stated but the bare truth. Last January you very kindly invited" me to go to the Agency and select from the annuity supplies such articles as tha Icdiacs must needed, acd you hava since then very liberally given us all you could spare, but as your stock of farm ing implements was very limited we could not get the necessary camber of farming tools. The Indians of thia reservation derive co benefit from the thousands of dollars distributed yearly among the Indiana reeidicg in the vicinity of the Agency for freighting, labor on new buildings, for beef furnished, for echool, etc.; ceither do they derive aoy benefit frcm the gvist mill at tha Agency where ,tha Indiana there can obtain 95 per cent, for their wheat in flour shorts and bran. Hero the Papago sells his grain for 90 cent per ctw. acd bays Hour at 13.00 per ctw. There ia no government school here; the government dce9 net own a single building on this reservation and tha Papago Indians hava abeolutalyno opporucity'to be employed in any way by the government, like those at tha Sacaton Agency. Notwithstanding the fact that these Papago Indians have been very much ceglected by the government, as above stated, acd the further fact that they had a very poor harvest ia 1S93, and that farm products have fetched prices those of every previous year, etill they have made very fair progress toward civiliza tion eluricg the past year. The cumber of farmers haa increased; many Indiana have moved upon their farm a to reside there permarectly. Several Indiana keep their farms in very good condition new wells have been 'dug, new houses built, 20 day a labor haa been perform ed on roads. The sanitary condition is first class, due mainly to great clean liness, improved bouses, better living, acd the discarding of the use cf ditch water. It is alio a matter of great satisfaction to bo able to state that gambling and drunkenness have diminished to a very appreciable degree. 1 again recommend the purchase of two good etalhona acd two good bnlla for the Papago Allottees to improve their stock which is of a very inferior breed. Tho fenced part of the reservation will furnish enough feed for from 1500 to 2000 animals, A hay press should also be bought for these Indians. Thanking you for the treatment I have received from you and your office, I am. Very respectfully. J. M. Besgek, Farmer in charge. To J. Roe Yocn:,U. S. Indian Agent, Sacatoc, Ariz.
