The weekly Arizona miner., 1870-11-19


 lures that have heretofore been squandered upon deadhcad towns and posts. But, we have not, do not now, agree with his ideas regarding (sc-callcd> peaceablc Indians, and he knows it, for VIC have taken pains to let him know it. Nor, do we think that he has kept his cavalry as hard at work hunting Indians. ns be might have; or as the necessi- ties of the country demanded, and we have SO informed him. lIc knows all this, and he knows. also, that we have not talked one way to his face, and another way behind his back.
 The document further states:
 "IIe (the Gencral) seems to think that it (the Territory) is worthless for agricultural and impossible for mining purposes He, the General must have changed his mind after leaving Prescott, for, upon start ing from this place, he was highly pleased with what he had seen of the Territory, and all will admit that he had travelled over, and seen more of it than any man on the Cobra do river
 Again:
 $ He advocates it's supply from New Mex ! ico."
 | Is this criuel If so, three-fourths of the entire population of the Territory are equally criminal with the naughty Stoneman, for they know that supplies can be brought | from the East ria New Mexico, for nearly one-half what it now costs to bring them | from Califoria. and, in this opinion, he is | backed up by NJ. Goldwater, brother of J. | Goldwater, and partner of W. W. Jones, who has now gone to New Mexico to pur- chase corn, for use here. Then, it is said: | "He thinks there svery little use of troops here and seems to intimate that there is noth- ! ing here worth the trouble and expense of protection"
 He "seems" to "intimaten and think
 wrong at rapid rate but we, who have
 nearly two months, never heard him assert
 or intimate anything of the sort.
 Again:
 "These views will fl promulgated, as he
 will be likely to do it in an official report,
 greatly injure the Territory. The unusual
 dry season, with late Spring frosts, have re
 duced the average yield of the crops. The
 Indians have for some reason been unusually
 quiet for some time corn league at Pres
 colt has endeavored to "set it up on Gov
 ernment, and other bad things have happened
 to strengthen the prejudice of this gentleman
 against the Territory, and perhaps our people.
 He will promulgate nothing of the kind , He will inform his supeuors, as he has be fore done, that the greater portion of Arizon' is delightful country, abounding in timber | syraua rratpa r;c ,ptnas and tural spots. This is just what he will report
 for Stoneman always tells the truth, and ht
 knows this to be true.
 The Indians may have been quiet on th, Colorado, but they have been playing th' deuce around Prescott, Tucson, Camp Me Dowell and other points.
 The only corn league" we have heard o hero was league of the friends and part
 ners of two of the gentlemen who signeC this "bill Of indictment" to force producer f into selling their grain for price that would
 not have reimbursed them for raising it, fail ing in which, the leaguers have taken ad . vantage of Stoneman's new andshort road t, . New Mexico, to go there and purchase grail
 cheap for cash.n
 Again, it is said:
 "Some gentlemen who arc acquainted witt , the Territory will be in San Bernardino in 2 few days. See them and they will put u 9 right on the record Ask them about tn a mines, the farms, the pastures; they vii . give you truthful description of the Territo ". Their report will checkmate any unfa \ vorable report of others. They will giy s you A reasonable and sensible arcount n c things here. We will put down few fact for you which will show the progress of tn , Territory under all difficulties. few year ago there were but five farms on the road l. }, Prescott Now there are fifty. Houses hay b taken the places of huts, and comfort an n plenty have supplanted discomfort and priya 1, ton. Two years ago the settlement of Sal
 River was begun. To-day it is occupied fo . miles in length, and is producing maryelously - The men who went there poor at that tim ( are prosperous and rich farmers now Yer a rich mines are being worked and others ar
 waiting fo. water. The population has nor than doubled and the productions more tha 9 quadrupled. We regret that we have nc 7 the time to give you full account of every ! thing here, but we know that these gentl, men can do it, and we beg you to have lon U talk with them, and give the world at larg : the benefit of their report, for better or fc l worse"
 D Presuming that the assertions in the abov extract are true as Gospel, we would like Q know what bearing they have upon the sui , jec, Ehrenberg and her people didn't se ] tie Salt River, nor have they done much fc 3 any settlement in the Interior.
