The River Counties.

Persons just arrived here from Yuma and Mohave counties, which border the Colorado river, say that progression is the order of the day down there. Many new corners from Nevada and elsewhere have lately settled on the river. The new town of Ehrenberg was being built up rapidly. Considerable mining was being done at Fl Dorado Canyon, Mo have county, at Eureka in Yuma county, and other points on the river. Yuma and Mohave counties contain many mines of gold, silver and copper, that will pay we'll as soon as the great Colorado River Valley is settled and cultivated. Naught but the high cost of liv- ing and transportation prevents them from being worked now Back of La Paz there are rich, inexhaustable placer diggings, but, unfortunately, owing to the scarcity of water, they cannot be worked but month or two in each year, and the capital required to take water from the Colorado river to the dggings, is net to spare in the Territory.

The Jackson and Cooley Prospecting
 Parties

Under date of Camp Mcdowell, this coun- ty and Territory, October 5th, 1869 valued correspondent at that place furnishes us the following correct information regarding the Jackson and Cooley prospecting parties. It will be suon that the Prescott party, under their old war-chief, Cal Jackson, had met the enemy twice. and given him jessie But, here is the letter:
 Editor Arizsaa HHer:-At tho request of Captain Cal Jackson, write to inform you that his party reached the Salt river near the mouth of Canyon Creek, on the 2Gth of Sep tember. They consolidated at that place with the men from Phoenix, under Captain C. E. Cooley, who had reached Canyon Creek two days before, by different route. The Phn- nix party had lost one horse, shot by the Apaches, and Jackson's party had had two fights with the Apachcs on Tonto Creek, in one of which they killed two and in the other, three Apaches. In the first fight, Sept. 10th, Mr. Dempsey Reese, of New Mexico, was wounded in the left leg, below the knee, by bullet. The wound however, is not very severe, and MT. Reese still con tinues with the party. The celebrated Som brcro Butte had been visited and thoroughly prospected, but no gold was discovered in that vicinity. Cooley and Jackson with their comrades, expected to prospect the Salt river for some thirty miles above the mouth oi Canyon Creek, and if they found nothing, tc strike south of the river, into the Pina Noun. tains. It is to be hoped that they will be successful, and they certainly will, if pluck and perseverance will obtain it.
 left the two parties on tho 27th of Sep tcmber, st which time all hands were wei and hopeful of success. SoNBRERo.

DEATHS ON THE DEsERT-A man who ar rived here a few days ago, from White Pine, Nevada, says that the lifeless bodies of four men, supposed to have perished from thirst were found on the desert, near the Las Vegas Ranch, few days before his arrival there. When found, three of the bodies were naked. Letters were found which proved that one of the party was named CEngersmith, that he had formerly resided in San Francisco, and that he has friends living there. All four oi the bodies were decently buried.

Fight With Indians in Pima County
lcoRhEsroSDENcE ARIzoxA MIxER.l

ICoEHE sPON DE ENCE AElZONA MINER
 Captain ". M. c. Netteryille, 2lst Infan- try, left Tucson, A. T, on the morning of the Eth of September, 1869, with three Govern ment wagons, loaded with stores. and one ambulance. He was accompanied by Lieu tenant James Calhoun, 2lst Infantry, ten men of Company l, 2Ist Infantry, and two cit izens; W. L. Austin, Post trader at Camp Grant, and Mr. Charles Landgraf On the the next morning, (the 2Sth) at about half past eight o'clock, the party was attacked by hostile Indians, who were in ambush near the road leading from Tucson to Camp Grant Capt. Netterville immediately formed his men and charged up the hill behind which the Indians were lying, but finding them in too great numbers to dislodge, he retreated to hill about two hundred yards in his rear, which offered good position for defence. He succeeded in getting the wagons back, with one animal slightly wounded by a musket ball, and one soldier badly wounded in the foot by an arrow.
 He then ordered private William Martin. Company I, 2lst Infantry, to mount mule and go to Camp Grant for achievements. NIT. Charles Landgraf volunteered to accom- pany him. They were pursued by six Indians for about half mile, but succeeded in getting away.
 After Capt. NetteryiIle had taken up bis position on the hill, the Indians nearly sur rounded his command, and set fire to the grass with tho view of burning him out, but failing in this, they advanced in line. and being repulsed, withdrew out of gunshot range, and did not advance again, but re- mained on the adjoining hills until two o'clock P. M., when they marched over the noun tains, and were seen no more
 Capt Netterylle thinks tho Indians nun bered about forsg-fve or fifty, of whom one was wounded, and he is confident that two were killed in the engagement.
 Colonel Hunt and Captain Harris, of the lst U. s. Cavalry, with fifty mounted men, arrived at three o'clock P. M., and imme- diately went in pursuit of the Indians, but did not succeed in catching up with them.
 Captain Netteryille speaks in the highest terms of the gallantry and coolness displayed by Lieut.. James Calhoun, 2lst Infantry, on this occasion. MT. F. L. Austin, (Post tra- der) also behaved in a very gallant manner. Honorable mention is made of Mir. Charles Landgraf, and private William Martin, Com pany l, 2lst Infantry, for the manner in which they executed the orders given them.

Gov. SAFFoRD proiTers Gen. Thomas three hundred milita-old Indian fighters-for a SIX months campaign, conditioned only upon -Er.
 The above is going the rounds of the Cali iornia Press, and, we presume, it means that the Governor of this Territory has made the above offer No doubt, that many citizens could be raised here, to fight the Apaches. but we doubt very much if they could afford to spend six months of their time scouting. fighting and suffering hardships, for "ammu- hilton and rations." It would be unfair and ungenerous to ask them to do so.

Every oil that can be lighted with match should be condemned at once. as only the most dangerous will take fire at ordinary temperatures.
