Phenix, Arizona, September 19.
"Without saying mucli to rny creditors
or anybody else, I left Tucson on
Tuesday September 16, for a ha3ty
trip to and from Prescott. With, a
pleasant night and good company,
the 'time passed agreeably and with
out dragging to Florence, where the
stage passengers and all others who
can get down before the table is full
or the hash all devoured, fill them
selves with viands and so forth fur
nished by Henry Glassman. Continu
ing on I reached this place on "Wed
nesday evening at 11:30.
Upon arrival hero I found district
court in session. Two grand-juries
had been called and discharged, and
yesterday morning another was or
ganized to inquire into the killing of
George Douglass by Joseph Dawson
at Kenyon Station, and this morning
indictment was returned to the
court for manslaughter and the jury
discharged. This does not seem to
carry out the impression that the kill
in? of Doue:las3 was unprovoked
murder, but probably the evidence
would not warrant an indictment tor
the full degree of the crime, as often
m 1 n.
is the case, xo aay a (jauiauiau is
being tried for the murder of one of
his countrvman some time apro.
Judge Tweed thinks the business of
the term will close next week.
AiTiono- the attorneys present, I ob
served Messrs. Eusk, McCarty, Oury,
Alsop, and Irvine, and Mr. Howell of
Yuma was here a few days ago.
C. L. Minor of The Yuma Sentinel
is here. A paper is being circulated
to see what encouragement can be
had for him to bring his oihco to
Phenix. I am not advised as to the
amramt likelv to be subscribed. Like
other sections of Arizona, the people
here feel liberal enoagn dug nna aoout
enough obligations to meet without
incurring any considerable voluntary
ones.
Wm. B. Helliucrs & Co. have re
cently put 40 men at work on a road
directly trom this vaiiey to uamp
Yerde. Captain Hancock is out doing
the surveying and J. W. Swilling and
one or two other citizens are giving
some assistance. Maj. Yeil thinks
the read can be made at a moderate
outlay, and by it freight can be sent
to and irom Jrrescott and V erde at one
cent and a half per pound less than
by Wickenburg. The people of New
Mexico are making a strong effort to
secure the trade and furnishing of
supplies for Yerde and unless this
road be completed, it is quite likely
t.Vinv will be successful ugrainst all
Arizona competitors, save by those who
grow produce m v erde vaiiey. messrs.
TMliTinro & Co. have a larero interest
in the nour and produce trade of this
alley, and by another year expect to
haw miicli Dacon ior saie. xueir
steam mill is turning out an average
of 12,000 pounds of the best of Hour
per sun of twelve hours. Tho wheat
grown in this valley is white and
plump and maires tne very nnesc oi
Hour. There is no present sale ior
bran, and hence the firm is purchas
ing hogs and will soon nave enougn
frnsumo all the refuse and un-
sn.ln.hln stuff about the mill. It is
refreshing to look in and around this
ill. and also the 'buildings and
nvements about it. The firm has
a very large tracu oi iuuu auu iu
Pfinflv n.rtded the Swilling: farm. Ap
ple and peach trees and grape vines
are "-rowing thriftily, and a few poa
ohpcTrmfined this vear on the very
young trees, and next year there will
probably be quite a supply oi grapes
and nn!rVhps Lonff TOWS of COtton-
woods, some poplars and other shade
trees are growing ra-pidly, and castor
beans nro nlcn n.hnndant. J-iOokini?
back three years when I road over
that ground covered with nothing but
sage brush and greasewood, without a
drop of water in sight, the present
view is an tne more pleasing anu en
couraging, as showing what water and
well directed labor will do ; and what
may bo said of that particular set of
improvements, save the mill, may be
truly remarked of many farms for
fifteen miles up and down this valley.
Farms that had not a tree on them
and hardly one in sight, are now sur
rounded with trees from twenty to
fifty feet in hight. Owing to the low
price of grain this year, many feel
gloomy and some have sacrificed good
property and are looking for other and
better locations ; but I am gratified to
know that the mass of the people
have confidence in the excellence of
their lands and the certainty of the
superiority of this as a farming sec
tion. Now the Gila is almost dry at
Morgan & Co.'s crossing, and Salt
Kiver is full of water and so are the
many ditches that thread this valley
in p.vflrv direction. "Water is abund
ant here, and so far as experience
serves as an index or the tuture, a
scarcity need never be apprehended.
All kinds of vegetables flourish well.
Sweet potatoes are mealy and specially
of fine, large growth and produce
larp-p.lv to the acre. Mr. Buck made
pretty liberal sums of cash fioin a
few acres last year, and. off his six
acres this, will realize a few thousand
dollars. Onions, beets, cucumbers,
etc., grow to perfection.
I deferred this writing: till too late
an hour to-day, and hence must omit
mention of many subjects oi interest
until another time. The buckboard
is ready to start for "Wickenburg and
I must drop this and go along.

"We take the following items of in
terest from The Miner of September
13:
D. E. Poland and Ed. Powers were
attacked by a few Apaches on Big
Bug Creek. Poland's horse was kill
ed. The Date Creek Indians have had
some sickness among them since they
went on the Yerde reserve, and prob
ably these were some of the disaffect
ed who were leaving, and to keep
their hand in, were practicing the old
game once more.
Mr. Minor, of The Sontinel, was at
Prescott and talks of moving his pa
per from Yuma to Cerbat.
Fred. Henry and P. Smith had
cleaned up forty ounces of gold from
their arrastras in Kirkland Yalley,
the product of seven tons of Eainbow
ore.
Eain had been plentiful in Prescott.
"W. Z. Wilson had submitted plans
for a fire-proof county building,
which was accepted by the Board of
Supervisors.
Hugo Eichards had just returned
from New Mexico, where he had
purchased 1800 head of cattle for the
reservation at Yerde.
September 11, a boy was born to
the wife of J. C. Potts and died on
the following morning.
September 12, Louis Wortman died
of consumption.
The Elliott Brothers at Prescott
are mailing an excellent quality of
matches. We hope the trade of Ari
zona will patronize them.
A VEHY disastrous financial panic
occurred in New York, and many
failures have taken place, among
them, Jay Cooke & Co., Fisk &
Hatch, and Eandolph & Co. The lat
ter is son-in-law of 1 nomas A. bcott
and his banker. At last accounts
Yanderbilt was creating a reaction by
buying heavily m railroad stocks.
The cause oi the panic is attributed
to the hostility of the people in the
Western States to railroad companies,
which has caused foreign capitalists
to withdraw their investments.
From dispatches to the San Diejro
Union, wo learn that Lieut. Wheeler
had arrived at Salt Lake Citv and re
ported that " the topographical and
geongicai results oi tne survey in
Eastern Arizona are perfectly won
derful. A country was discovered
with macnificent parks, trees and
woods, far exesedmg any portion ot
Colorado.
We see by The Minor of 20th inst.,
that according to previous notice, J.
H. Marion was married September
16, to Miss Banghart of Chmo Valley.
There seemed to be general rejoicing
in Prescott over the happy occasion,
and we of Tucson send congratula
tions and a sincere desire that the
newly married couple may have a
a long and happy lite.
FliCttl The Sontinel we learn that
work commenced on the Arizona tel
egraph at Yuma. September 19, and
that it is expected that the line will
be coinpletdd from San Diego to Yu
ma by November 15. A boy named
Wm. LeEoy was killed recently by a
box falling on him. Eegular trips
bv steamer will be made every twenty
days between San Francisco and the
mouth of the Colorado.
The district court will commence in
Tucson, October G. On the same day the
law provides that a session of the district
court shall be commenced in Mohave
county. Judce Porter is absent from the
Territory, and Gov. Sallord has designat
ed Judge Tweed to nom court in ma stead.
