In an editorial yesterday morning,
in rolat'on to tho necessity for re
form in municipal affairs, wo mado
tho typo say that tho license list
footed up 10,000. This, wo thought
at tho timo, a very largo tax to be
collected off tho business men of a
city not exceeding 6,000 people.
Had this boon tha whole truth, it
would have beon bad enough, but
being only a half-truth it becomes
still worse. Wo' were shown, yes
terday, a statpmont (not yot com
plete, howover,) showing tho rovonuo
that ought to bo colleoted from tho
various business callings and occu
pations subject to city Hconse, and
the footing stood $2G,4G0. This sum
alone, If closely collooted and cer
tainly not over 5 per cent need go
delinquent ought to run the ma
chinery of a city government like
ours. When this stupendous bur
den is largely duplicated by county
and United States lioonses, is it any
wonder that business interests do not
yield the profits to those whose cap
ital is invested that ought to be ex
pected ? This burdon does not fall
alono upon the seller. ' The' humb
lest consumer has his share to pay
in tho enhanced prices that dealers
are compelled to put upon their
wares and merchandise. This brings
tho subjeot home to all, therefore
there oucrht to be no difference of
opinion upon tho subject of reform.
The Social Soicnco Sisterhood of
San Francisco had a wordy timo of
it at a recent mooting. According
to the Chronicle tho confab arose
over tho question of changing the
name of tho society, which was op
posed by some exceedingly glib
tongued members. We appond a
i'ow extracts to show tho vim with
which tho dear creatures ontored into
the subjeot matter of tho mee'ting:
Mis. Pfundt, who in tho wordy
combat acted as first lieutenant to
Mrs. Butler, then took tho floor, ask
ing: "I want to know how tho Chroni
cle gained an idea of tho religious
views and histoty of thosooiety, when
nothing was said about them in tho
discussion?"
Mis3 Littleton explained that a
lady whom she supposed to be a mem
ber, although unknown to her, before
the meeting oponod was delivering
herself of atirado to a gentleman
who sat beside her against tho society,
and said she would like to join it but
she could not, because it was con
trolled by spiritualists, infidels, free
thinkers and free-livers.
Mrs. Ray bounced to hor feet and
said that sho was onb of those at
tacked by tho report in question,
bho wanted it understood that sho
was strictly orthodox and dofonded
Christ and tho Bible against Donton
and tho devil in tho other society.

The irregularity in tho arrival of

From tho Qlobo Chronicle
Mhis morning opened with a somber,
cloudy daylight, but a stirring breeze such
as makes cats frisky. Ilhas always been
a mystery to us how a cat could gauge tho
atmospheric velocity just as a thermome
ter does Its cold or heat. But revenons des
moutons, for it is nearly breakfast time.
An ancient and-spectacled magistrate of
McMlllcn, and"lla moral representative,
stood upon tho corner of Broadway and
Mosquito streets, near tho well-curb, and
.observing one of our prominent merchants
pass turned loose a whole volumo of vitu
peration in Arizona vocabulary, which
everybody knows is chasto and classic
winding up tho matutinal crow with an in
vitation to the merchant to come on, as he,
the magistrate, law-giver, etc., was armed,
drawing a navy. Tho burly, but undaunt
ed, merchant marched at double-quick t
tho cannon's mouth, seized it by tho muz
zle; it didn't go on, but tho two old law
Waifri from Washington.
Washington, Fob. 14. Col. D.
H. Rucker, has boon confirmed as
qnartermaster-gonoral. Tho nomi
nation of Maj. Roohestor to bo paymaster-general
of tho army was, af
ter a brief discussion, recommended
to tho committeo on military affairs
for examination of tho charges of
gross neglect of duty on previous
services.
In tho senate, tho motion of Ed
munds to considor thoanti-polygamy
bill out of its ordor, was defeated
29 to 21 and consideration of the
calendar proceeded with.
A memorial is hero more tfian
4,000 foot long and signed by mor
ohanst, manufacturers, meohanics,
farmers taxpayers and others, .of
nearly every state in tho union,
which will bo presented to tho ways
and means committeo. It asks that
tho tax on bank deposits and two
cent stamps on checks and drafts bo
abolished.
Secretary Folgor has, in a commu
nication to tho Sonato financo com
mittee, submitted his views at long'th
on Beck's bill to prevent unlawful
certificates of checks by National
banks. The secretary does not think
the passage of this bill will affect tho
object in view, as ho says tho ques
tion of what constitutes unlawful
certification would havo to bo sub
mitted to a jury. There is already a
law on tho statute books to this effect,
and tho seorctary doesn't think Bock's
bill can add any specific force to it.
Federal Appointments.
Washington, Feb. 14. Tho
nominations of Moses M. Drew of
Sacramento, as U. S. marshal for
California, and Hiram Van Arnam
of Oakland as secretarv of Aiizona
territory, wero sent to tho senate to
day and will be promptly confirmed.
John C, Now, who has to-day been
nominated assistant secrotary of tho
treasury, was Gen. Spinner's succes
sor as U. S. treasurer, and during
the last presidential contest was tho
efficient chairman of tho Indiana
campaign. Ho is tho owner of tho
Indianapolis Journal, and ever since
Garfield's election has been spoken
of for a federal appointment, tho
first position for which ho wasbooked
by current gossip being the mission
to Russia.
Was'hington, Feb. 14. Tho nomi
nation to-day of JohnC. .Now, of In
diana, to be assistant secretary of tho
treasury, was a general surprise. It
is said Now could havo had a foreign
mission, but proferrcd a placo in this
country.
It is rumored that Fillcy, of St.
Louis, will soon bo provided with a
good placo.
Vitz-Jolin I'orter.
Washington, Feb. 14. Fitz-John
Porter's case was under consideration
at a cabinet meeting to-day, and it
is believed that action will bo taken
toward having it reopened. All
members wore present except tho
attorney-general.
Chicago, Feb. 14. Tho Tribune's
Washington special says tho Presi
dent will not do anything in tho Fitz
John Porter case, but will leave the
whole matter with Congress.
(cncraui Sentiments.
Washington, Feb. 14. Allison,
chairman of tho senate committee on
appropriations, has a letter from the
president of the Pennsylvania Rail
road company, in which, responding
to inquiry on tho subject, ho says:
"Our company had not at any time,
j nor havo they now, any intention to-
make claim for compensation for
courtesies extended to tho late presi
dent and his family, or to tho gov
ernment. Wo feel it to bo not only
a duty but a pleasure to do what wo
could to increase tho comfort and aid
in restoring tho health of Prosident
Garfield."
Tho Vroposcil Congress of Republics.
New York, Feb. 14. A Commer
cial's Washington speoial says: Tho
President sent to Congress to-day
correspondence relating to tho pro
posed congress of ropublics of North
and South America, on tho 22d of
November next, in Washington. Tho
most important letter transmitted is
one from Minister Logan to Blaine,
under date of December 16th. Logan
says ho hopes to socuro the harmo
nious co-oporation of tho country to
which ho is accrsdited, but that tho
affair must bo managed with discre
tion, as three of tho fivo states aro
determined to accomplish a union of
all under ono government.
Coddling the Nation's Vets.
Washington, Feb. 14. Secrotary
Kirkwood had a second conference
to-day with tho Arapahoe Indian
chiefs. They had listened eagerly
last week to tho secretary's remarks
in favor cf their settlement, and to
day they said they convinced that
such a course would be to thoir ad
vantage. Black Cat, the principal
chief, asked if they could havo houses
liko white men, to which tho secretary
replied: "If you would build them
for yourselves you would bo furnished
tho necessary maierials;" that they
must not erect their tepes in front of
their houses and use the latter for sta
bles, as had been asserted of other
tribes.
These Indians leavo for Wyoming
in a few days.
Kcovllle'M Hill or Exceptions.'
Washington, Feb. 14. Scovillo
is back from Chicago and is hard at
work on his bill of exceptions, which
he thinks he can prepare in a week.
He will then return to Chicago till
tho case is argued before the court ia
banc, toward the middle of April.
He speaks cheerfully, but it is plain
to be seen that he has small hopes of
obtaining a now trial for the assassin.
The Utah Contest.
Washington, Feb. 14. The
house committee on elections to-da',
began the hearing of arguments in
tho contested election oaso of Camp-
boll vs .Cannon, from Utah. McBrido

ning sessions for tho purpose of hear
ing further arguments.
The Northern Faclflc.
Ottawa, Can., Feb. 14. Ex
U. S. MinisterPierrspont, John S.
Stokes, W. C Stokes, and A. H.
Holmes, solicitors for tho Northern
Pacific railway havo arrived here to
interview government on tho sub
ject of obtaining connection for tho
Northern Pacific with the Manitoba
lines. Wm. McDougall has been
retained as thoir counsel in Canada.
The Knights' Ball.
The many who gathered at Schleffelin
hall last evening do not need this reminder
of tho completeness of that nights' enter
tainment, but the outside world may wish
to know ot the brilliant affair; and then
those who did meet there will want to
pledge with us to the lullncss of tho many
pleasures there enjoyed.
Ushered into the spacious hall, you are
bewildered by tho enchanting scene which
greets you. The committee on arrange
ments, assisted by Mr. W. H. Hardy, have
made extensive and elaborate decorations
on all sides of tho building. On the left,
as you enter, between tho star-spantjled
pillars, is the convenient room for the mu
sicians, who are concealed by the largo
flag of the Knights of Pythias proper and
national flags; on the right a retiring
apartment has been prepared for the.ladies
and covered with "the emblem" of the or-
der; while over the entrance J waves the
bcautiM ensign of the .Uniform rank, with
shields, swords, spears, helmets and battle
axes tastefully fastened agaiust the gallery.
Under tho windows aro coats of arms
with handsomo) paintings between. On
either side of the stage is a mir
ror, cross-swords and gulde-flaga; and
the stage itself is resplendent with flags,
tho "triangle" of the order and other or
namentation, while the kind word "Wel
come" in the center adds a new beauty to
the fairy scene. Evergreens span tho hall,
from which are suspended a number of
bird cages whose warbling occupants thrill
tho glad throng with their sweet songs.
The bright dress of the gentlemen in unl
form contrasted nicely with those in citi
zen's dress. But tho real charm consisted
in the many ladies, who wero the crown
ing adornment their beautiful appear
ance and winning ways in the midst of so
much brightness made all seem but a
dream too sweet to last.
"Niclit of music, night of splendor,
billed with Joys too bright to Ust
Jovb tnat like tho starlight tender.
While they shine, no shadow east.
Where is tho heart that would not1 give
Years of drowsy days and nighH,
One HI tie hoar like this to live,
Filled to tho brim wita me s aeuguwi
And then tho dance light tripping feet
and still lighter hearts whirled away the
evening hours till the supper march held
sway, and there upon the stage as the cur
tain rose was spread a sumptuous feast.
Fivo long tables, seating in all 100 guests,
were arranged upon the richly decorated
platform, and here every delicacy in abun
dance was to bo had but for tho taking,
all provided by the thoughtful caterer.
Thus refreshed, dancing followed; the
quadrille, the polka, tho schottischo and
tho waltz succeeded each other in pleasing
order, until tho heart had d runk its full
of joys and the parting hour had come;
but though the night has passed, yet never
will the remembrance of,, these happy
hours be lost.

Shall steal our pleasures too,
The memory of ibis night will stay,
And half its Joys renew."

its way to all parts of it with great
raniditv. Mr. Abel Wright, who be
gan with two or three dozen of the
carp three years ago, thinks that he
now has a million in his pond at
Griffon, Georgia. Ho has sold more
than 5,000 at $20 a hundred, and

Harshaw, Feb. 4, 1882,
Editoe Epitaph: On Tuesday
last one of nature's largo-hearted and
truly generous souled sons, set out,
in company with your correspon
dent, on a visit to the Santa Rita
mountains, with a two-fold purpose,
viz., business and pleasure. In tho
matter of a team, like Hobson's
choice, we had no alternative, there
being only one to be had and that
more after Mexican than American
order of teams. The morning was a
beau'.iful ono, more liko a summer
than, as indeed it was, a winter morn
ing, and the dav. heaven and earth
united and created one of tho most
lovelv that was ever seen. We were
out for a four days' trip, and had
supplied ourselves with all things
deemed necessary to our natural
comfort; a dozen bottles of Nelson's
best, for which my companion ad
mitted having a special regard, and
a half-dozen Otard's XXXX, which,
when taken straight, "gets away"
with anything brewed on this side of
the Atlantic. Bo this as it may, its
wonderful exhilarating properties
operating on tho hilarious sports of
our little party contributed to mako
four days' rambles in the Santa Ritas
among, the most enjoyable and truly
red-letter days in the hfo history, re
spectively, of two old-tune compan.
ions.
We went from Harshaw to the So
noita, six miles; thence down tho
valley four miles on the Pantano
road to Casa Blanca, a huge pile of
rubbish which marks tho spot whero
once stood the palatial residence of
a Spanish nobleman, or perhaps a
Mexican freebooter, it matters not
which, whose history is buried in
the eternal past. Here we left the
road and proceeded up a well-grassed
and well-wooaea canyon, iui me
first four or five miles the canyon is
broad and we made good progress;
thereafter, as wo approached the
mountains, we found deep washes
and other obstacles to our advance,
and finally, aftor ascending the can
yon four and a half miles, we v ere
brought to a standstill by a wall of
rock which crosses tho canyon to
right angle and prevented further
progress in the buggy. We
were still a mile from our
intended camping ground, so de
cided to unhitch, pack.our outfit on
the backs of the horses and proceed
with them over the divide. After
great trouble in getting our blankets,
rugs, baskets, and, above all, bottles,
the contents of two of which were
summarily disposed of, safely mount
ed, we left the bottom and proceeded
to climb the mountain, mo top ui
v,'hich we reached half an hour after
starting.
A scone worthy tho brush of an
artist was before us; we were on
the summit of the dividing range be
tween Ca'sa Blanca and Temporal
canyon; ielow was Casa Blanca,
bordered oti either side by rolling
hills and narrow valleys until the
whole are lost in the plains below;
before us, is ther soon to be famous
beautiful valley of Temporal. For
several miles below the valley is nar
row, and in places very rough; hero
at the head it is concave or like a
hue bowl in shape with a periphery
of uniform height and not less man
three miles in circumference, the in-
surface being heavily timbered
and having a gradual and uniiorm.
inclined to the bottom 5UU teet e
low the rim; in the center the water
of the valleys, acted upon by the rays
of the declining sun, appeared like
so many streams of molten silver
purling ovor thoir rocky beds; bur
ros and horses are feeding, and tents
dot the prospect. After feasting our
eyes half an hour, during which time
the quiet of the place.tho tranquillity
of the hour and the beauty of tho
scene made lasting impressions on
our minds, we left the summit and
descended in a semicircle to the bot
tom of tho valley, where we met our
friend, who escorted us to his tent,
quartered us, and bestowed upon us
the greatest attention and hospitality
during our stay in Santa Rita. Half
the night we passed in recounting
scenes of other days in California
and Nevada. The morning sun shone
brightly and a yenison steak awaited
us when wo awoke. Wo performed
our ablutions in tho cold and vi or
ating waters of tho valley stream,
took breakfast and started to view
the mines.
BULLION.
This is one of the most valuable of
all the mines in Santa Rita, as shown
by development work. It has a shaft
down seventy-four feet, sunk in tho
ledge close along luo toot-wan, aim
from the bottom of the shaft a cross
cut twenty feet in length has been
driven in the reef without encounter
ing the hanging wall. There is 120
tons of ore on the dump; estimated
value, $G0 per ton. Ono year ago
last October, a working bond for
sixty days, for 88,000, was taken by
ono Ghas. Calbey, in favor of San
Francisco parties. During tho cur
rency of tho bond 1,000 was ex
pended, and tho mine would have
been sold but for tho sudden death
of one of the parties to tho deed.
The thickness of the ledge matter is
unknown; the pay streak, on which
the shaft .was sunk, is one foot in
width at the surface and three feet
six inches at tho bottom of the shaft,
and is continuous from top to bot
tom. The reef is native quartz and
spar; country rock, syenite and por
phyry, while occasionally a basalt
boulder is seen. Water was struok
at tho depth of fifty feet and about
220 gallons percolates into the shaft
during every twenty-four hours. The
owners of tho mine are T. E. Wil
liams, C. D. Reppy, S. Hughes, and
R. R. Richardson.
PENNSYLTANIA.
First extension west has a shaft 15
feet, with good prospects.
becond and third extensions west
havo both croppings, but as yet
nothing has been done to develop
them.
NINA.
First extension east, owned by C.
E. Harlow, has a 19-foot shaft and
shows good ore, but ground broken
and ledge not so well defined as in
Bullion.
ELLINGTON.
Next- claim west on the Bullion
ledge, owned by Sutton & Stockton,
of Harshaw, has a shaft down eighty
feet, in an all-pay ledge seven foet
in width; estimated value of ore on
dump, $30 to $40 per ton.
EMMA,
the oldest location in the camp, is
on tho second ledge north, running
parallel with the Bullion ledge, and
has a shaft 47 feet in tho reef down
along tho hanging wall. The ledgo
is 12 feet wide on tho surfaco and
tho foot-wall is nowhere visible in
the shaft. There are 150 tons, more
or less, of $60 free milling ore on
the dump, and from the appearance
of the ledge, both on tho surface and
in tho shaft, thousands of tons of
like o'ro can bo mined at a minimum
cost. Messrs. Williams, Reppy,
Hughes and Richardson own the
same.
ANNA
lies northeast of the Emma- A cut
into tho bank above tho creek, where
the ledge is exposed, a cut 4x10, has
been made, and from this cut a shaft
is down 15 feet on a 4-foot ledge,
assays from which approximate 195
per ton. Williams & Brown claim
tho property.
GENEEAL.
Besides those named thero are at
least twenty others (for want of time
I did not see) in the immediate
neighborhood where prospects have
been obtained, and where, it is rea
sonable to hope, paying mines will be
developed. Ono mile and a half on
the creek below lies the Jttupert,
yielding ore valued at from $200 to
$500 per ton. Five miles below
Messrs. Bragg & Mansfield have rich
mines with development work now
being done. Five miles below two
gold-bearing ledges are being worked
and if half that is said of them bo
true 'the future will come loaded by
millions to the all-confident owners.
Six miles down and you strike the
copper claims owned by Messrs.
Hughes and Lyons and recently
bonded by Messrs. Wales and Mor
gan of the Total Wreck for a period
of ninety days. Further on other
claims have been monumented, and I
am reliably told that there are at
least 100 ledges boldly cropping on
the banks of Temporal gulch, and
from my own observations i am con
vinced that in some ef them will be
found mines of great value both ar
gentiferous and auriferous.
Tho question most agitating tho
minds of those here, is how shall the
ore be disposed of so as to ensure tho
most profitable and speedy returns?
It is estimated that a good wagon
road can be constructed from the
mines' at tho head of the gulch, by
way of tho left fork of Casa Blanca
canyon, to connect with the A. T. &
S. F. railroad at Casa Blanca, distant
five and a half miles, for say $4000.
Others advocate the building of a
road down Temporal to the bonoita,
ten miles distant, where it is very
probable reduction works will bo
erected for the purpose of doing cus
tom work, an unlimited supply of
which would certainly be forthcoming
wero such works available. Ihe
cost of this proposed road would be
in the neighborhood of $12,000. Still
a third party urges tho building of a
smelter and crushing power
in the gulch contiguous to
tho mines, where abundanco
of wood and water is to be had for
all requirements. The first propo
sition is a good ono as applied to the
Bullion and other claims at the head
of the gulch, as they alone would be
benefited bV Bvc; tne roaa woum uui
be available ."Uid of no use whatever
to tho claims fln tho intermediate
and lower gulch. The third propo
sition is not tenable for the reason
that.tho water supply, to say tho
least of it, cannot bo relied upon at
all times, while a two-years' run of a
30-ton furnace would exhaust all the
wood now standing in tho neighbor
hood. A road down tho gulch is
what is needed, branch roads, from
the arterial, could bo easily made to
all tho claims, no matter wnere situ
ated, in the valley, and thus easy
communication with the railroad and
roflnntinn works, on tho Sonoita,
opened alike to all; by united effort
it would be a very easy matter to
put a road through. No better op
portunity is offered in the country
for capital to take hold and, for a
small outlay, harvest great fortunes;
if, however, they do not promptly
tako hold, let the mine-owners co
operate, open the road, and secure
to themselves an uenuma ''"b
from their united labors.

A Ban rasa North on Saturday and a
Band South on Sunday Thro ush Sul
phur Spring Valley.
From L. G. Reynolds, who came ia fram
Morse & Co'3 sawmill, in the ChiricahoM,
yesterday afternoon, the following wis
learned:
On Saturday evening a party ef twelve
or fifteen Indians were seea at the Cienei,
going north. ThoCienega is about twelve
miles west ef the sawmill, in the foothills
of the Chiricahuas, and upon the eastern
side of Sulphur Spring valley. They were
seen by the people who live at the Cienega,
therefore there is no room to doubt tke
statement. On Suaday about 11 'clock a
man at Sanderson's ranch, about ten milts
from Soldiers Holes, saw another prty of
fifteen or twenty Indians going south,
driving quite a band of loose horses and
mules, goiag at a rapid rate. This maa,
Mr. Owen, got upon top of the houee aa
watched them with a field-glass for a con
siderable time. Mr. Reynolds, who had
stopped to feed his tesm at this time a few
miles the other side of Sanderson's, saw
the dust that was raised by the cavallada
as it made rapid strides towards tho Bwiaa
helm mountains, it being Lis opinion thty
were striking for the Guadalupe caayen,
or, possibly, further south, arouad the end
oftheSwisshelms, and thence toward the
San Bernardino ranch. Mr. Reynolds,
when 'he came to where the trail croBsed
the road, stopped and examined it, Which
rpvenled. in his onlnltn. the tact that the
- 1 i v
nartv were Indians driving twenty er
thirty head of loose stock, some of which
were mules, shod, and others large Ameri
can horses, also shod. When h came to
Antelope Springs he eaw the soldiers who
camp there, but he had no conversation
with any,of them.
This news was also confirmed by Fia
Clanton, who passed through town for
Charleston yesterday, he having secD the
trail, which he described as being to large
and plain that a man might follow it on
the gallop. He also talked with twe mea
who saw, the band at a short distance,
thereby settling all doubts.
WHAT THE EOLDIEKS SAY.
An EriTAPn reporter interviewed a
couple ofsoldlers yesterday afternoon, who
were in from Antelope Springs. They said
that their company had scouted abaut
Soldier's Holes on Monday, and had seen
neither Indians nor a trail. This may be
accounted for; first, from the fact that the
Indiaus passed about ten miles from Sol
diers' Iloles on Sunday, about noon; and,
second, that thej did not go far enough out
into the valley to strike the trail. They said
that while encamped at the Sari Bernardino
ranch a short timo ago, a party of Indians
passed about five miles away during
night.
It is evident that, as we havo beforij
small bands of Indians aro cons
passing back and forth between Ssi
los and Sonora, making their old
and fastnesses their stopping places j
route. It is simply damnable that
state of affairs can exist, and tha
thicklv' a settled country as this 2
proper energy been displayed wi
so called battle of the Dragoons was I
last October, 'there would tot be ca
complaint on this scorn.
Blabee Notes.
From J. C. Tanmnier. who ci
from Bisbco yesterday, it is learni

better nor worse than usual. The ,
Queen is doing quite as well as herl

f rich deposits of carbonate of copper
in that district. There is a report in Bis
bee that an additional working capital of
$100,000 has been raited in New York fer
the Neptune company, and that work will
shortly be resumed on their mines. The
prospects in Uncle Sam were said to be
good when woik upon it was suspended.
The Galena mine, owned by J. T. Bland,
and S. AY. Balamon & Co., is said to be a
promising property. It is situate about
three-quarters of a mile southeast from
Copper Queen. A cross-cut 13 teet
long was run and at the end a sh.ift sunk
10 feet, which revealed good carbonate ore,
which give by assay, 12 per cent copper
and $37.71 per ton in silver. At a-point
about 50 feet from the cross-cut and shaj
No. 1 another shaft was sunk 12 feet de
which also shows good Indications.
With all the talk and blow about mint"
in other localities, that were, or are, to dis-
count Calumet & Hccla with Copper
Queen thrown in, it will be a long time, ia
our opinion, before another copper camp is
struck on the Pacific coast, and particular
ly in Arizona, that will anywhere comparo
with Bisbce. "We do not say this to dis
parage any other mines or locality, but sa a
conclusion arrived at after patient research
after tho yellow metal.

The Hearst Party Safe.
Frank Lobracco, who went to Baao
chuca with George Hearst, returned last
evening, he-being one of the musicians at
the Knights' ball. Ho left Basochuca Sua
day morning, when the entire party were

troubles west of the Ajos range of mount,

upon this subject in yesterday's issue.
That the Sumner and Earl party are also
safe and sound we do not doubt, lrom the
iact that the hostiles were being hotly pur
sued by at least 1000 good Indian fighters
