Lieutenant Fittings Scout.
[ CoMMUSIcATED. !

On the 22d day Of November last, Lieut. Oscar Elting, 3d U. s. Cavalry, with the vet eran guide, Dan O'Leary, Dr. Malcolm, Surgeon, and 2 enlisted men left Camp Hualpai in pursuit of the Indians who had stolen the stock from the W Willows-mentioned in the last number of the MINER. The trail of the Indians led easterly, and although 1t was supposed that the marauders were Apache Mohayes, the irregularity of their trail, showing their ignorance of the country over which they travelled, furnished con yincing proof that the red devils belonged to some eastern tribe. The party were sup piled with l2 days rations. but extending their pursuit to l6 days, they were some a hat hungry upon their return. While returning, they discovered that the willy redskins had followed on Lieut. Elting's outgoing trail and almost entirely obliterated 1t. The trail crossed Granite Creek below the Point of Rocks, and continued through the gap in the Black Hills, crossing the Verde near the mouth of Tonto Greek, thence towards Tonto Basin 1t is spity that Lieut. Eting did not have sufficient rations, for there is scarcely doubt but that he would have re- coYered most of the stock stolen, and dimin- ished the number of hostile Indians to considerable extent, for the Lieutenant is Dfase ana cnergeuc, anu mas fohght Indians before. His gallant pursuit of the White Mountain Apaches in 1868, when they stole the Government herd from Fort Seden, N NJ, is evidence that he is at least willing.
 c.
 This scout was one of the hardest-if not 0e hardest--made by troops in this portion of the Territory for a long time past, as will be admitted by all who are acquainted with the country. Besides the soldiers, there were with the Lieutenant several citizens East of the Verde, plenty of Indians were seen and heard, high up on the mountains and aesas, where it was impossible to reach them. Sol dicrs and citizens suffered considerably from having to sleepout without sufficient covering. --t ED. MIEER.l

Invite Capital, Labor, Etc.

We hold 1t to the highest duty Of our people to invite capitalists and laborers to come here and examine our Territory. Le. outsiders know that we have in Arizona something besides Indians, and they will come with their money and labor. There is not, in all this broad Territory, white man who has not friends and acquaintancos some. where who would like to better their condi. tion and lay foundations for future fortunes in A new country, like this, which, all know. has prosperous future in store for it. Why not, then, tell people living at . distance about the chances for making money here by mining, farming, stock-raising, trading, etc, and invite them to come?

 Now, we can't find space in our paper for the publication of SO long an appeal, and shall no, trouble ourself with the document and its authors further than to remind 'he latter tha, their time and money might be applied, at home, with better results. Why can't the Universal Peace Union of Amcrica,' appeal to the United States Government ,o establish peace in Territories, whose people have long saifered--src now suffering-f from Indian wars France and Prussia will soon grow tired fighting, and stop it of their own accord. But, our savage foes love tloodshed and robbery so well. that we doubt if even an appeal from the "Univcrsai Peace Union of America" 10 unstring their bows, would have much effect upon them.
