sion of Big Rump, that to tbem, the papers when found, had not the appearance of mail matter, and they would not have known 1t was part of the mail if some of their white friends had not told them of the report being in circulation that they had attacked the mail. Some greenbacks were found on Big Rump; could no. say what amount of money was taken; however, Mir. Morgan informed me that about eight hundred dollars in green backs was the amount which the Maricopas brought home. Near where the fight took place were two feet of a mule with shoes on, the flesh of which the Apaches were feasting upon when discovered by the Maricopa spies. The fight is described thus: The spies hay ing brought word that Apaches were seen, the Maricopas under the direction of abroth- CT of Juan Chiverie, stationed themselves among the bushes in the canyon and ambush ed the Apaches, immediately after they left camp where they were first discovered; as soon as the attack was made the Apaches broke and run up the canyon, and 1t is thought as many escaped as were killed but of the number they could not be certain, as being concealed in the bushes they could not count them. A number of Pimas who ac- companied the Maricopas, were stationed further down the canyon for the purpose of intercepting any Apaches who might succeed in running past the Marcopas; consequently the Pimas were not in the fight, as none of the Apaches succeeded in reaching them.
 The canyon, at the point where the attack was made, is narrow, with high, perpendicu- Jar sides of rock, and on one side bushes suf- heient to screen a large number of men. When the attack was made Big Bump turned and ran back, but was pursued and killed where we found his remains. At this point the canyon becomes wider, the sides slope backwards, consequently there Is no great difficulty in leaving it. The pursuit was continued after the other runaways, but, without success. The ground all about bore evidence of the struggle and doubtless, the story as told by the Maricopas and Pimas re- garding this affair, is in the main, correct.
 From this point returned to Camp Nc Dowell ria Phoenix and reached the Post Sunday, the 29th inst, at II o'clock a. m. Whole distance marched, about 200 miles.

Miguel and some of his band and started for the Rio pricta, where we had learned that we would find the troops. On reaching the Prieta, we found that the troops had left. We struck their trail and found tbem in camp on the Rio Bonito, Colonel Green, lst Cavalry, commanding the scout, which con. sisted of two companies of cavalry and two of infantry. He was surprised to see us {; thought we were selling powder to the ln- dians; said that it had been reported to him that tbere were Moxicans and Americans trading powder and lead to these Indians {; that he could not understand how we could remain with them, when he expected fight every day. After We had explained to him all the circumstances connected with our coming into the country, he seemed satisfied that we were prospecting. He sent Capt. John Barry, lst Cavalry, with two companies of cavalry with us to the Carrizo to see Mi guel Capt. Barry had talk with these In- dians and told them that they must go to Camp Mcdowell and see General Devin, and that I, with my party, would accompany them, and would assist them in getting per
 mission from the General to live upon their ranches on the Carrizo, without being mo- tested by the troops. as he thought they were good Indians, and deserving of kind treat ment by the Government.
 We left the Carrizo Aug. 3d, with Miguel and ten of his men, for Mcdowell Miguel vas to have taken us by the stream that we attempted to reach on our first trip. We were again met by the Indians, who took us to their rancheria. They said that they knew we were going to see the Generai for the benefit of Miguel and his people, and that he would accompany us, which he did, with eighteen men, but he would not allow us to prospect or take anything from his country. We had been travelling almost due west since leaving the Carrizo, but here our course was altered to north. Our Indians pointed out to me Butte which they said was close to the place. It was south of us, about l5 or 20 miles. We were not allowed to stop on any stream or wash pan of dirt. We crossed several bold streams that showed some gold indications The country is we'll watercd and l think fine field to prospect in. 1t commences about 30 miles east of Camp Reno. find that the Butte pointed out to me is the l" Sombrero.n I will start back to examine the country that We oame through, also the ' Sombrero, about the 18th inst C.

 EDITOR MINER Dood. Charles Franklin and myself arrived here two days ago from New Mexico. Onr route from Zuni was south. We crossed the Little Col orado about six miles above where the Zuni river enters it. We remained for several days on the Rio Carrizo. This stream is the eastern tributary of Salt river. It heads in the Black Mesa.
 The Indians that live on this stream are under Miguel, the one-eyed chief of the Coyoteros. We accompanied him from Zuni lie and his band were very kind to us. and were very anxious that we should find gold There are no indications in his country. Be Tore we left Zuni he told us that he did not know where there was any gold in the eoun- try belonging to his band, but farther west Tn the Final country, he knew where there was stream that had plenty of it, and said he would show us where it was. So we pulled out, with forty Apaches, Miguel at their head. On the second day after leaving the Carrlzo we were met by large party of Finals or Salt river Indians. They told ns we must turn back or they would kill us. that we were in their country and must leave it, as they would not allow any white men to come into it. So We had to turn and % pack to the Carrizo. We were getting into good looking mining country, the forma. ton being granite, in which we saw some quartz On our return to the rancheria of MigueI, we learned that troops were coming towards the Rio Prieta, which was southeast rom us, about 40 miles We became alarmed when we learned that they had jumped a aneherla and destroyed some corn belonging 10 redro's band, of the White Mountains. who naa sent two of his band to show us through ,he country We thought our only safety lay m getting to the command, 50 we took

The Captured Mail--Letter From Gen. Devin and Report of It. McCleave.

To the Postmaster, Prescott, Arizona.
 Dear Sir: In accordance with my promise to you before left Prescott, upon arriving at Marcopa Wells, l sent for the chief, Juan Chiveria, and informed him of the suspicion prevalent in Northern Arizona, that the Mar icopas and Pimas were concerned in the at tack upon and capture of the rnail, near Will low Springs, as some of the mail matter had been seen in their possession, which, they as- serted, had been captured from Apaches.
 The chief indignantly repeled the charge, in behalf of his people, and stated that, while on a scouting and hunting party, his warriors had discovered the Apaches in corn patch, and had surprised them, killing five, and had taken this mali matter from the Indians they killed, and from the ground where it had been left or dropped by others, in running away. then told him that if he had killed five Indians, the bodies, or some traces of the fight, must yet be visible. and proposed that be should go out with a party of his warriors and commissioned officer and detail from Camp Mcdowell, to the spot where the Mar icopas had killed the Apaches, in order that the officer might make report to me, which would establish the honesty of the Maricopas in the matter. To this he at once assented, and herewith enclose, for your information, the report of Captain McCleave, the officer whom directed should be sent with the h. disns. will only remark that it fully con firms all the statements made to me before hand by the chief, and establishes the fact that the mail, on the occasion referred to, was attacked and captured by Apaches.
 Very respectfully,
 Your obedient servant,

SUMMARY or THE REsuLr-The Sacra- mento Union thus summarizes the result of the California election:
 The State election on the first instant re- suited in very general Democratic victory. The exceptions are in favor of Mariposa, Tuolumne and San francisco-last year all Democratic-where the Republicans elected some of their candidates. Tuolumne elects . Republican Senator, and San Francisco is believed to have defeated the Democratic candidate for Mayor. Placer county has partly elected the Republican ticket. only the Senator and one Supervisor being Demo erats. Amador is believed to have given Democratic msjorities from l66 to GOO. C.. F. Reed tRepnbiican) for Senator in yolo and Solano district, who was thought to have been elected by the vote of Vallejo, is defeated. In Sacramento county the entire Democratic ticket is elected, unless Duffy (Republican), for the Assembly, is the ex- ception. At late hour last night, all the wards in the city being heard from, ard all but five small precincts in the county. Duff fly was 34 votes ahead of Kosminsky (Demo- crat), the lowest on bis ticket, for the As- sembly. The contest between these two will be very close. Cslaveras gives Vim. M. Gwin, IT,, 200 majority over his Repub- liean opponent for the Senate. In Nevada the Democrats have made clean sweep of the county. San Joaquin elects the entire Democratic ticket by majorities ranging from 100 to 200. The victory is general and complete, and the Democrats will have large majority in both branches of the Legislature.
