tFrom MoiMlay'i Mally.J
Woather-Mines The Prospect.
The first of the foregoing topics is just
what the people of this entire ;ctiou of coun
try have, for ever o long, ptayed. At this
time, lat year, the stream beds of this bee
tion of the country were all but dry, while,
just now, more water is nulling through
them than miners and everybody eUo can
use. Last year gave no rain or mow to do any
good Until lato in February. This hcason,
snow and rain put sulficicnt water in the
creek., about December 0, to enable miners
to carry on, profitably, the working of their
claims, without intermission, up to date.
And, now, wo have good ruajon for rejoicing
over ouo of the grandest rain audxuowstorms
of ancient or modern times, which storm com
menced, with rain, curly on tho morning o!
tho 11 th int., nnd continued until a lato
hour last night. Tho water which fell, last
night, came down in tho shapo of snow, which
is now at least six inches in depth upon the
ground, while, in the mountains around towt
tuc ueptii oi snow muit be mucii greater.
This snow was accdmpanicd by heavy thun
der and sharp lightning, unusual visitors for
February, and uovcr before heard or seen by
us here, in any other winter savo that of
1805. To say that the ground is wetter than
at any time since 18C7-8, is saying but the
truth, and the truth, in this case, issuflicient.
To further explain to people outside of Ari
zona, we havo but to state that since the
early spring of 1809 until a recent date, wa
ter, which at that date, was high up in wells
in valleys below Prcscott, kept receding un
til, income cases, it fell a distance of about
forty feet. Now, however, tho water in said
wells is all but running out of their tops, and
with our store-houses, tho mountains, illled
with snow, slush, etc, with the prospect of
several moro heavy falls of rain and snow be
fore us, this winter, and, as has been the case
after wet winter, immenso rainfalls during
the summer, tho people of Arizona may, with
certainty, look forward to a prosperous year
a year that will yield good and largo crops
ofcorn, wheat, barley, hay, vegetables, gold
and silver.
Never, before, has tho prospect for a gtcat
yield of placer gold been as good as it is at
present, for, never before havo placer miners
been as well prepared to take advantago of
things as they now arc. This will be admit
ted when we tell people that Lovejoy & Co.
are now running three pipes, in thoir hydrau
lic claims, on lower Lynx creek, while above
them, on the same creek, Smith & Marcutt,
several Mexicans, the Bashford Mining Com
pany and a dozen othcir companies, besides
scores' of single miners are washing auriferous
gravel at a rapid rate, the proceeds of which
gravel may be seen at any of our stores.
The samo is true of Mig Bug, tho Hassa-
yampa and other creeks. Then tho score or
more of arrastras now running ; Hill Smith's
mill, near Wickcnburg, all doing iirst-ratc,
strengthen us in the belief that Providence
will boon make up to us for former mishaps.
The slight scare caused by the breaking
out of the Uualpai and San Carlos Indians
does not intimidate in since Gon Crook is
Still here, to head tho savages off" and reduce
them to proper subjection. Our people must
bo cheerful, hopeful, saving, industrious, and
all will soon bo well with them.
Contractors havo come to sco that unless
the masses aro well ofl. they cannot grow
rich, and will, wo think, so draw up propt
sals for furnishing government supplies as
will not, cs heretofore, ruin the producer, the
freighter, everybody.
The Press of the Territory can now prea
tho advantages of the Territory, and, thereby
aid in brineinir here an immhration of fami
lies of whito people, who will aid in the sub
jugation of this wilderness, found frcochools,
churches, and overawe the red savages, whose
deeds of blood and plunder have in the past,
caused the country to lag behind most of her
sister Territories in tho race for improvement.
Mail Accomodation The shortening of
tho time It takes to carry letters, papers, eta
from one point to another, in our Territory,
lieing of tho utmost importance, in these
times of scant mail service, wo wish to im
press upon tho minds of all concerned, that
tho maIN from Yuma arrive at Ehrcuberg
Tuesday and Friday ovonings, at about seven
o'clock, while tho buckboards from Cantor
nil, carrying mails to Prescott and all other
point north of tho Gila river, Ieavo hhrcn
lwrg on .Mondays and Fridays, at about two
o'clock in tho nfternoon, always too early to
rnske clon connection with tho mail from
Yuma. Now, both routes nro operated ny
one contractor, Mr James Grnt,and it would
bo a great accommodation to the people or
Yuma, Mohave, Maricopa and Yavapai coun
ties If matters could bo arranged so as to havo
the time of arrival of tho mails from Yuma
changed, so that they could come through,
without laying over, on the buckboards for
Central Arizona. It may bo that both run
on departmental schedule time; ifsoour del
egate ought to Imj ablo to raako tho proper
ofliccr agree to such a change as would reme
dy tho delect alluded to.

At Camp Apache, the following persons will be

The strictest economy in the Quartermaster's De
partment Is enjoined upon all. and no disburse
ments will be nudu except for the most nrcssluz
auiuorizcu wants.
Application for all expenditure of funds or
purchases of material must bo made to these
llendnnnrters. Moutbly estimate of Funds (in
duplicate) will be forwarded to the ofilee of the
Chief Quartermaster ol the Department. 4 mouths
In advance of the mouth In which the lauds will
be required fur disbursement.
Tbe estimates will be endorsed with the
amounts aud place of dctioslu where the funds
are required. All Returns, Abstract!, Itcports,
etc., required to no lurniaucu tue omce ot the
Chief Quartermaster, Military Division of the
laciflc, Irom Post and Depot Quartermasters in
this Detnrtmcnt, will be transmitted ItirotiL'h tbe
oulce of the Chief Quartermaster ot tbe Depart
ment, In order that tno necessary copies way be
raauo for me In his otneo.
This stroke of reduction will bo felt
heaviest, In Tucson. The abandonment of
tho depot there will cause a loss to tbe town
of about tX0,UW per month, In rents,
wages, etc.
We hope that tho men whom these orders
will turn out of employment will remain in
tho Territory and try their luck at some
thing else.
Tho services of all are and will be nicded
by Government, but, in face of the dema
gogues' raid on the Army, soldiers will havo
to do tho work, and thus the efficiency of our
little Army is now, more than ever before,
liable to be impaired, by tho actions of Con
grcssmcn who, to say tho least, arc no better,
no honestcr, than they ought to be.
Let us hope that our commander will be
able to fight hostile Indian; tako care of
good ones, and do all other duty, without tho
services of tho soon to be discharged mechan
ics, who ought to have been favorites at
Washington, when Congress would bo euro
to provide means for their pay and employ

"To b hat-d Dffnl but to b en,"
By men of the Welsh-IIrunot-Colycr atripc,
who were interested in keeping the wounds
of frontier people open. The same cry was
raised against Custar, Sheridan, Crook, Cliiv-
ngton, and all other regular and volunteer
officers who, in pursuance of their plain duty,
braved dangers and hardship without stint
in order to chastise tho demon iocs or their
country and people. These officers and their
followers were denounced ashlood-thirsty In
dian exterminators, when it was nnd is well
known that neither honor, fame nor wealth,
to a very great extent, has over been won in
Indian wars, and that those officers who have
mado for themselves a little fame, in this
way, have never yet been anxious to fight
our savago foe; but, when ordered to do so,
they have simply obeyed orders. Crook did
not wish to como to Arizona, and only did
so when ordered by the commander-in-chief
of the Armies of the United States General
Grant.
In liko manner, citizons who have emigrat
ed from the old States and settled in the wil
derness, face to face with tho scowling red
man, did so in obedience to that inexorable,
unwritten law. which impels the Anglo-Sax
on to scatter out and fill the waste places of

no fine Brussels carpets, and no succulent

forcible American expression, has well nigh

tbe carpet-knights and enfeebled male blondes

u Why enchroach upon tho poor Indian"
Tho answer to this impertinent question is
already given, but, we deign ouo or two
more: the American Government, which lays
claim to all the great wet, ha organized it
into State and Territories and invited its
citizens to "go West." 'Iticy nave come
Wcrtt, and arc determined to stay, and they
want all eastern demogogue to understand
that, inasmuch a tho first nuttier of the
east fought their way, successfully, against
Indians, they, too, intend to make tho weat
their own or perish in tho attempt. Thou
sands of them have already ierislicd, but, a
tho "blood of tho martyr is the seed of tho
church," tho blood of tho western pioneers
shed by Indians is the seed of this great
Nor t!i American Nation, whose bounds, ".No
jM:nUup Utica," thieving churchmen or clan
uish Indian shall contract.
Sufficient room is there, in tho west,
for whites and Indians, and, but for tho inter
ference of licensed robber liko Howard, Wil
kinson and other wo might name, both races
could and would now be living in harmony.
To prove thij wo need but point out the peaco
and good will that prevail between whites
and Indians, in all place where tho latter
have been forced (not cajoled) to respect tbe
rights of their whito brothers
Tho commissioners nude treaties with tho
Sibux,tho Cheyenne, Arapahoes, Kiowa
Comanchcs and other Indians, which treaties
said commUhionera assured the country would
bo sacrcedly kept. They havo been t.acredly
kept by tho white but not by the Indians
who, for months past, havo committed mur
der, and robbery after robbery, from tho Mis
Kouri to tho llio Grande, aud are still openly
defiantly, waging horrid srar upon American,
citizens.
In our Territory, wbcre commissioners
with much blasphemy, aver that they made
treaties with Indians, by God' help, thu
very Indian thu treated with aro tiicy who
have lately broken God'H law and their
treaty stipulation ; while Indians with whom
Gen Crook has treated,, by force, havo re
mained truo to their; promises and arc, to-day,
volunteering to. put down tho rebellious
bunds of CacluEC Klkiminzin, Del-Uho ami
Slice rum.
Tho rebellious Indians wero bribed, by
present and promise, into making short
lived pcactf, while tho true Indian were, by
war on tho part of Crook aud hi troops,
fvmd to lay down their arm and beg for
eacc.
Again, reservations over which Crook has
had full control, such as tho Vcrdcand Whito
Mountain reservations, aro well and kindly
governed. Ho has separated tho goats from
tho sheep, rewarded tho latter; while it has
been tho policy of agent who have drawn
their inspiration from tho "pcaco" clan, to
reward bad and turbulent Iudians aud give
tho cold shoulder to good one.
'Vho terrible Wickcuburg maacrc was one
bloody rciult of Colycr's mission to this
country. Tho murder of hundred of Mexi
cans and score of Americans was one of tho
reniilts of Howard's praying tour through
Arizona. The grand totul of all is that, by
thu act of these men, nnother bloody and
cxjicniive war witli the Hualpais, Finals,
Arivaipas aud Chiricahuas is now almost
imminent.
The Hualpais number alwut COO souls,
fully 100 of whom are able and do bear arms
which thev know how to use, nnd, having
joined the Seviches, can, if they choose to do
so, seek a lava bed and make indefinite trou
