 EDnoR ARIZONA MiSEE: lt may interest your readers to know that branch Of the Ma.lapa tribe has made overturcs for peace. Such is the case. Chief Ley-ye-ley-vc lately sent an embassy of three squaws to Fort Mohaye, Co inform Col. Price that he had had plenty of fight, and now de- sired peace. Accordingly. conference will be held between Col. Price and this Sachem, at Wallapai springs. Thursday next, which will probably result in this Lo and his followers, go- ing to tue Colorado, where they will be kept se. cure.
 There seems to be a split in the tribe. as Wal lapai Charley and Sohewm are still on the fight. Yet these notorious bu-h-whackers know full well tbat their lives would not be safe under any treaty that would admit our old pioneers 10 get bead on them hencethey will go for the last ditch.
 On tle Colorado-Mr. Wade is rapidly pushing forward the work of putting up his mill and hopes to be crushing quartz by the first Of Oeto- ber NIT. Otis. ol San Francisco. owner of ten stamp mill that has been standing idle at Fl Do- rado Canyon the past two years, IS actively en- 1 gagged in getting out ore, from the 'Iechatcup mine, and putting bis mill in condition Co work | it. These mining operations have awakened ! new life on thc Rivcr-and every one is not 1 seemingly for the Railroad Mining operations will soon be resumed in the Sacramento l District and, in short Mohave county will come ! out This is as sure as shootiug' A.E.D ! From Lieutenant Reese, Charles Spencer and Johu Funk, who came in from the Willows last week. we learned some further particulars in rela- ton to the proposed offer of peace by tbe Walla- pals; also, in regard to mining and other matters relating 10 the welfare and pro- Periiy of Nohaye county These gentlemen informed us that the
 Indian women told Colonel Price, the comman- der of the District that the noted Wallapai chief l Wausa- uma was killed in tbe fight the Indians
 had last winter with Captain Young and com
 mand. and that Hitch-e-hiich-ee, and another
 chief, were slain in battle by Lieutenant Hasson's s
 command in the fight that took place near Fort
 Rock The killing of these scoundrels is glori-
 ous news for tho whites of this region, and were
 Scherum and Wallapai Charley in the same boat
 with the dead murdercrs and assassns. the news
 would be still more glorious. But, if the Walla-
 pals. Charley and all, are desirons of peace. we
 believe in letting them have it. notwithstanding
 the enor1niiy of their crimes. Of late they have
 not committed any act of hostiliiy-have not
 even attempted to steal stock, and it was the
 opinion of the gentlemen alluded to tba: they
 see the handwriting on the walln There are
 two companies of cavalry stationed at the WI
 lows-rcldy to bunt them down like dogs as
 soon as winter sets in. Every man in one Of these companies (i) knows every trail, spring | and stream in the Walapai country. and under
 such officers as Captain Young, and Lieutenant ' Reese and guided by so able and valiant guide , as Dan O'Leary has proved himself to be in pre- t vious campaigns against them, their show for
 life. should they not speedily succumb, will be slim indeed.
