Indian and Military Affairs.
The aspect of Indian affairs is gloomy for
whites. Hccent comers from Vertlo reserva
tion say that over 1,000 Indian have left
there, and are now prowling through the
. mountain. A great many of them are around
thu ranches on tho Lower .gua Fria, and
some have been teen, or rather, their (Ires, in
tho vicinity of Granite Mountain. Citizen
'nrc alarmed, and well they may be, believing
as they do, that the deserters from the reser
vation are pretty well supplied with new gov
ernment guns and amunition, procured wo
scarcely know how, but, it is charged; from
illicit traders, among whom arc numbered
many of the late Indian soldier allies of Gen.
Crook's troops. We are not so much alarmed
a many of our readers, but must confess tliat
tbcro Is cause Tor Tear. Tbe Indians who
killed Townsend bare not, to our knowledge,
been caught up with and punished. There
is, however, reason tohope;that the scouting
parties of white and Indian soldiers sent out
by Gen. Crook will punsh the. murderous
renegades.
Tbe General, himself, has gone to the Verde
and all may rest assured that ho is doing his
best to check this new move of tho faithless
Apaches. In him and his little army we have
unbounded faith, and shall soon look for tbe
springing of more ininci under Apacho stamp
ing grounds.
Agent Williams, of tho Verde, Is doing his
very best to control the savages ; this he has
been doing all tho time, but sickness, etc.,
have given the wretches excuses for skedad
dling "back to their old haunts. Not long
since, when an attempt was made to arrest
Del-Che, the Apaches on tho reserve were
ready and eager to murder every White man
citizen and soldier on said reserve, so
Lieutenant Schnylcr, having but a very small
force, was compelled, much against bis will,
to desist from arresting the reprobate.
The Tucson Citizen, of September 27, gives
the' following news from tho White Moun
tain and San Carlos reservations :
"We learn froin A. MeKey, who arrived
from the San Carlos on Tuesday, that on the
17th mat Oapt Pedro reported to Lieut Rice
that a notorious Apache named Eekoolgo,
who brutally, murdered Mr Redman sutler
at Camp Apache, over two years ago, was at
an Indian camp near the agency. Upon re
ceiving this information' Lldut Rice, with
Geo. H. Stevens, acting agent, Marcial Gal
. legos, the interpreter, John M. Logan, laid
hospital steward at Camp Apache, and pri
vate Geo Kcssel started to arrest him. On
arriving at tho camp the Indian was found
lying down and was requested to get up and
go with' the Lieutenant to the agency. On
rising he drew his knife and stabbed Logan
in several places, from the effects of which
ho died in about three hours, and slightly
.wounded Resael. At this juncture or affairs
Stevens and Gallegos fired upon the savage,
killing him instantly. Tbe Apaches say that
this Indian has murdered to their knowledge
nine men, four white men and five Apaches
and amoug the latter was bis own brother!
Tbey seem muJh pleased that he has been
killed. He could have been killed long ago,
but according to Colycr ho was entitled to
special favor for his success and daring in
killing white men, and ho has gone unpun
ished to this" time, trailing his pathway in
blood and using his influence to debauch the
irieudly disposed. Thanks to Gen Crook a
new order of management lias been inaugu
rated and the Apaches are being taught that
they are responsible beings, and that murder
and rubbery are crimes for which punishment
will follow.
0. A. Shibbell, who returned on Monday
with his freight train from Camp Apache, in
forms us that Lieut Eckerson is en routo to
Fort Yuma with Captain Chiqulto and six
other Apaches, whither they have been sent
by Major Randall for disobeying the rules of
the reservation by being absent without
leave. It seems that Captain Chiquito has
tho largest band of Apaches on the White
Mountain reserve and it has frequently oc
curred that many of bis Indians imvo ah.
scnted themselves without the fact beinc r
ported or any effort on Chiquito's part to
prevent it. Members of this band stolo some
horses from the Kan Pedro last spring and
fcccnuj i rum ruerjio Yiejo, and also several
inurucrs are believed to have been committed
by the band. Major Randall has dotPnnln..,l
to make an example by punishing some of
uio ncau aen or the tribe, and we have no
doubt that wearing a ball and chain at Fort
Yuma -a few months will have the desired
effect and teach these noble red men that In
consideration of befog fed and protected by
the United States they must show a little
good faith on their part. At any rate Major

.aiiuiuiiyj good Indians av being pro-
i.iu ana won cared Tor and the bad ones
nrc being instructed that for their eviJ deeds
they will be punished. There is not a tribe
of Indian on tbe continent that cannot be
subdued and controlled by this system but
until General Crook came hero the premiums
were paid to bad Indians and the well dis
powd were neglected. Wo suppose that this
vstem or management was adopted upon the
me principle that tho Chinese give all their
oatring. to tho Devil, in the belief that God
M food and will not harm them, but that tho
old devil 1, fu of wrath and cuwedness, and
hence must be bough't off nt any price

V t
French, or Prcscott, which letter Mr W. has
very kindly permitted us to peruse, substan
tiates the foregoing, and praises Major Ran
dall for bis efforts to drivo devils out of the
Indisn swine.
Then, a fresh trail of stolen stock and In
dian captors has recently been seen going in
the direction of Cacblio's reservation, which
is now evidence that all is not right there.
In tliir. dilemma, Gen Crook ought to have
moro troops, more power over Apaches on
reservations, and moro means to carry out
tbe serious work before him. Tho fact is
patent, Apacho dogs will not down at our
bidding. They will treat to-day ; ratten at
public cribs and then follow the impulse or
their devilish nattlrc by robbing and'murder-
ing some or their benefactors. Wish It were
in our power to secure and ship the last of
tho red scoundrels out of tho Territory.

Maricopa L'ountt. Our wccklr letters
from Phoenix, the capital of this county, are

that Jos. Dawson had bis trial postponed and
that some outside friend helped these two
gents to get out or duranco vile; that tho
new school house was almost completed, etc
Mining Items In the way or mining
news wo have, this week, but little that is
new to communicate. Bill Smith's mill, near
Wickenburg, is still at work, with grand suc
cess, on Vulture ore.
The arastras in Walnut Grove, Bradshaw
and other districts are kept going night and
day, crushing ore, which is yielding well in
gold.
The Tucson Citizen, or a recent date, notes
the fact that many men are at work, on
the Francisco river, taking out water for pla
cer mining purposes, etc.
A letter from Mr. Wm. Cory, of Cerbat,
Mohave county, contains highly, encouraging
news of mines and mining in this county.
Considerable rich ore was being shipped to
San Francisco.
The Telegraph. Tho several parties at
work building telegraph aro making good
headway. From San Diego to Yuma, tho
wire is going up at tho rate of three miles a
day. The Prescott party arc now far beyond
Wickenburg, and polls is strung along other
sections of the route. A let ter from Wicken
burg, or tbe 30th Inst., to Col. Bigelow or
this place, is as follows :
Lieut. J. F. Trout (tho indexable), with
his telegraph builders put in an appearance

Railroads Immigrants-Excursionists.
While many citizens and papers of Califor.
nia are abusing the managers of tbe Central
Pacific railroad, for alleged overcharging and
for an itching to control the politics 0 the
State, a proper regard for justice and manli
ness should, we think, cause them to admit
that the road has brought to their State
many immigrants and thousands of excur
sionists, besides it hns reduced taxes and in
creased the amount of taxable property in
thu counties through which it passes, so that
it am) its managers have really done moro
good than evil.
No doubt, many corporations stand in great
need of being reined in by the people, but
furiuus driving is not tho best modo or mak
ing them keep from drawing against the in
terests or tho people. The great trans-conti-nental
road has, also, accomplished great good
Tor all other territory between Calilornia and
lown, filling up Nebraska, Wyoming, Neva
da, Utah arid btber geographical divisions
with workers, sight seers, speculators, etc.
The Kansas-Pacific is another instance or
what a railroad has dono for our western
country. Its managers have labored earnestly
to induce immigrants to settle on and near
it. Immigrants havo done so, and tho gain
to them, tbe railroad and tho country can
scarcely be. expressed In dollars.. . -
New Mexico and Arizona are suffering Tor
immigrants, such as a railroad would, bring
them, and, in thi sad plight, wo cannot af
ford to fight railroad corporations, but can,
ought, must encourage such lonaJUU railroad
men as are endeavoring to push rails in this
direction.
Col. Scott ought to be home from Europe
by this time; and, as it is reported that his
trip there was crowned with success, we hope
and pray that he will, as speedily as possible
select his route through New Mexico and
Arizona and give us the benefit or a railroad.
Tiir. ' Poon " Modocs. Since the recent
announcement from Washington, that tho
worst survivors of the Modoc man-killers arc
to "pull hemp," as a punishment" for their
bloody deeds, sickly setimcntalista at the
East have been pulling and tugging at Presi
dent Grant's coat-tails, with the view of pre
vailing upon him to whitewash the blood or
our murdered dead and let their slayers loose,
to re-enact more horrid deeds. " Poor Mo
docs," these cackling geese repeat, in and out
or church. "Captain Jack is pining away,"
and mercy to him and his lieutenant mur
derers would crown tbe President with an
other laurel wreath ! Out upon such drivel
ers, who were never yet known to have such
soft feelings for white criminals. The Modoc
prisoners stond convicted or heinouscrimcs ;
they deserve punishment, and, now that they
havo been adjudged to die, by hanging, it is
but meet that they go out or this world iu
that way. Captain Jack, who at latest report
from Fort Klamath, was sleek and fat, ex-
prested a preference fur a bullet, but hang-
ing is too good for tho wretch, ami we, al
though not in the least vindictive, favor mak
ing an example of him and all other Modocs'
who have earned death. Their croine: out of
the world iri this way may have a good effect
upon other bad Indians, if not upon tbe claw
hammer whites who cluster around'tho rob
bing ring.

This number is especially attractive on ac
count 01 its many heavy articles at least
considered heavy by those who wish a maga

many cases overdrawn readine matter. Bo
among these heavy articles we may enume
rate " lie Late Chief Justico Chase, by
Hon. Justico Field; "Tho Enelish as a Unt-

The article on "Prison life in China," reveals
a heart-rending condition of affairs in tbe

"Seeking the Golden Fleece." Dr. Stillman
gives a very graphic description or the flood

period in tho early history or this coast.
This issue certainly abounds in valuable in
formation, interspersed with a number or
stories and poems. The "Etc." is varied in
subjects, the article on "A Few Scientific

Sentinel Things.
Wo rewrite as follows from tho Arizona
(Yuma) Sentinel, of September 20th:
Correspondence of the editor, Mr. 0, I
Minor, dated Cerbat, September 20, Is full
and interesting. Arriving t Camp Bealo
Springs, ho met and complimented Captain
Then. Byrne, commanding that post, Lieut.
Hunt and other citizens.
Visiting Cerbat, tho now county scat or
Mohave county, he observed about 125 hous
es and cabins. Some or the houes ho Inti
mates, aro superior to tho overage house or
his own tomi, Yuma. Population or the
place between 350 and 400. Mercantile
houses were doing a fair business fur the cap
ital invested.
The smaller towns of Stockton, Mineral
Park and Chloride were also visited by our
brother quill, who expresses himself pleased
with their people and the wealth (mineral)
surrounding them. Several arastras were
running and paying.
Coming to Prcscott, by Wcbjtcr A. White's
stage, he round the road rough, on account or
recent rains, but was well pleased on arriving
here, and meeting his friends, Cant. J. P.
Margrave, Dr. J. N. McCandless and Judge
Ilowurd. Calling at tho Minek offile, dur
ing our absence at Cliino Valley, Col. Bige
low and Mr. Weaver greeted him. Calling
agaiu, shortly after our return to the sanc
tum, he was, wo take It, astonished at not
finding us all that his fancy painted us, and
straightway proceeded to writo down some
very pleasing words about ourself and belter
half, closing with kind wishes for things that
are good, for all of which we feel duly grate
ful. Indeed, our only sadness comes of the
fact that wo wcro not at liberty to devote
more time and attention to tbe comfort of
brother Minor, who, nevertheless, left our
village with a very good opinion of it, its
peoplo and business.
Mr. J. C. Bacon, acting editor, has another
"Arizona and Sonora paper," in this issue,
the wording of which is suggestive of a good
dictionary bead.
For news, wo have an account of the hang
ing (lynching) "of Manuel Subiate, a Gila
monster, who assisted in the murder of tho
lato Mr. Lumley. Subiate mot his just fate
at Kenyon station. When caught, he was in
custody of the sheriff, who tried several
dodges to save his prisoner's neck, but all to
no purpose.
Capt. Pool, or tbe Colorado Navigation
Company, had informed tbe editor that trips
would bo made every twenty days, between
San Francisco and the mouth of tbe Colorado,
by either the Jlontana or Newbern.
Col. Martin, of tne Pay Department, U. S.
A., had arrived, paid soldiers at Yuma, and
started for interior posts. Capt. Bums, 5th
cavalry, Capt. Geo. F. Price, or same regi
ment, and R. II. Haines, of the telegraph
line, had also arrived.
Commenting upon what tho San Dicco
World recently said, in effect that Mexico
was about to sell Lower CsMonda to Ger
many, it is set forth that If' would take" a
great many German troops to take and hold
the section, as our Government would not bo
likely to stick iu finger in its mouth during
the fermentation of such a eauer-krout bar
gain. Sunday, September 14, a boy named Wm.
Le Roy was crushed to death by a heavy
box falling upon him, which box contained
printing material for the Sentinel. The boy's
father was accidentally killed, 14 months ago.
Tbe Mexicana of Yuuia celebrated the an
niversary of that country's divorce from
Spain, by singing, shooting of anvils and
guns. A certain house was decorated with
Prussian, Mexican and American flags, raised
above each other in the order in which we
print them, which display would not last
long here or elsewhere in the Territory, as
tbe place for our glorious stars and bars is
above all other flags.
Wm. B. IIoorr.R & Co. The San Diego
Daily Union, or a recent date, prints the fol
lowing truthrul remarks concerning a firm or
which all right thinking Arizonans are justly
proud : "Among tbe arrivals per stage from
Los Angeles yesterday, we note Col James
M. Barney, or tbe firm or Wm. B. Hooper k
Co., whose bouses in New York, San Fran
cisco, Yuma and Ebrenberg are so well and
ravorably known. This gentleman manages
the Arizona branches, besides the contracts
for supplies furnished the Indians in that
Territory. The last appropriation inado by
Congress for that purpoo having fallen far
short of the amount required, this firm ad
vanced the supplies used since January 1st,
which amount in value to the sum of three
hundred and forty thousand dollars. To say
that this act was appreciated at Washington,
is but simple justice to tho Ann which so
promptly came to the aid of the people Of
that Territory by advancing theso supplies,
thereby enabling tbe Indians to bo fed and
peace to be maintained. They have always
been foremost in endeavoring to open up the
resources of this valuable Territory. Col
Barney deserves especial credit for the man
ner in which ho has conducted th fn,i;.
contracts, providing supplies at such timea
uu piaccs as.tp cause no dissatisfaction by
reason or quality, quantity or delay."
From 800 JIh.es Away. Our friend, J. J.
Backus, formerly of this place, now of Pinos

Finanoial Crash.
The failure of J. Cooke & Co., first mado

It is believed that tho troubles of J. Cooke

N. P. R. R. Co. The secretary of this com
pany says the lino will be constructed, but
work will be retarded.
Tho President and Richardson have deter
mined to come to the rescue of tbe New York
bank, and will purchase bonds largely
and deposit a portion of tbo Government
treasure in the National Bank depositories to
stop the panic. It is believed, however, that
the crisis Is past.
Fiio.M EiiREKDEno. A letter or September
27, from Mr. A. Frank, contains tbe subjoin
ed items : "The weather is pleasant and cool
Business rather dull. J. B. Tuttle has

Tbcro has been a reaction in tbo New York

have issued ten millions in loan certificates
and arc now arranging for another issue or the

tbe excitement is over, and the New York
banks, with a few exceptions, are considered

favorable that in the next five year, tho
lulls and vales of Arizona will be well stocked
with sheep, horses, mules, cattle, eta, and
now is the time for citizens of California and
other States, who arc casting around for good
ranges, to come here and locate. Grass
good all over the Territory, water is pretty
plentiful, and the Indians can never draw as
they have drawn upon stock men.
