Fight With Apaches.

The following letter, which was received here this week, by Gov. saftord, explains itself:
 SAcAToN, Pima County,
 Arizona, June 90, 1870.
 DEAR SfR:- :-According to promise, send you such facts as have been able to gather about the attack recently made by Apaches upon the mining party under Captain Curtis. They were attacked about mile from Cot tonwood Springs. Mir. Gillette first noticed the Indians, he having ridden ahead of the party. He at once fired at the Apaches, and then rode back to notify his companions to prepare for the fight. Capt. Curtis believing that the sayages were but few in number, de- termined to give them battle and directed his ambulance driver to take that vehicle to some hill near the road. In attempting to turn short, the tongue of the ambulance was broken of. By that time the Indians, who were all dressed in blouses and military pant aloons had commenced to fire and the party of miners returned shot for. shot, for some time, but finding that the Indians numbered about lj0, and Capt Curtis having been wounded, they finally took the animals from the wagon, and abandoning the latter, started for Florence, which place part of them reached towards evening. Those who had no animals were slower coming in and were met and carried to Florence by Mir. Beatty, who went out in his buggy to carry them water.
 Two others, Mir. Meyer, the assayer, and another were hit with spent balls. No wounds were inflicted.
 Capt Curtis is wounded below the right shoulder, the ball ranging upwards. be- lieve the ball has not yet been extracted
 The party lost all their provisions, blankets, one shotgun, some ammunition, their tools and the whole of Mr. Meyers assaying appa- l ratus.
 My Doctor went up to attend Capt. Curtis, but Dr. Todd, of Camp Grant having arrived at Florence before he reached there, he found Capt. Curtis in comfortable condition. The wound, though painful, is not considered dan. gerous. r. E. GRossMASS.

WE would not advise anybody to get excited Dale Greek, Arizona The region Is not remark ably pleasant one being, for instance in the mids; of a hostile Indian country, besides other dis. couraging circumstances, ono of which is that the reported discovery Is probably humbug The south is, this season, the region of excitement ; next, 1t will be somewhere away up north.-CaL- Vor'sia faper.
 'Tis well. paper that does not know the name of the well-known military camp near which rich gold and silver iedges have recently been found, should not, we think, take upon itself the task of advising people in regard to said mines nor should it pro- nounce them humbug. The mines to which our contemporary alludes are those near Camp Date Greek.

ARMY SUPPLIES FOR ARIZONA.
Letter from Hoa. Sylvester Mowry.

Fps. ALTA; The Bulletia's Washington cores pondeni, in that journal of the 2lst ult., makes the following statement;
 Acting upon the representations of Senator Cole and Delegate Mccormick, the War Depart ment has decided that the Army supplies for Ari. zona shall hereafter be transported through Cali iornla by way of Fort Yuma instead of as at pres ent through Mexico from Gnaymas Propesais were invited for Interpretations over both routes and IL Is understood that the Mowry Brothers were the lowest bidders on the Mexican route. and Hooper, Whiting & Co, on the other. The Whiting Of ths last named hrm it may be as well 10 state, Is not the relative of Senator Cole with whom ne may be confounded, but resident of Arizona" T-' T - -
 This would be true did It not fail to be accurate in every essential particular There is no such frm as Mowry Brothers; therefore they were not bidders for the contract for the army Hansporta- ton to Arizona. Mir. Charles F. Mowry, the con tractor Tor the last fiscal yca1 was not the lowest bidder this year, nor do the army stores direct ed by the tho representations of Senator Cole and Delegate Mccormick Of Arizona, go through Cal. iiornia 10 Arizona" What motive has induced Senator Cole 10 put forward this statement, with the careful addition, that the Mr. Whiting, of the nfm who have received the contract, Is not a rei.
