Our District School.

Governor Stafford, Judge II. w. Fleury and School Commissioners Wm. J. Berry, Geo. b. Kendall and Henry A. BigelOw called upon teacher and scholars, Friday evening of last week, at the Prescott District school, heard an examination by the teacher MT. Gilmore-which examination, we arc told, was very satisfactory. The Governor addressed the scholars on the importance of education, advising them to stimulate their parents and friends to the raising of sufficient funds, by donation, etc. to keep the school going for another term, and, if possible, the whole year.
 The present term will close about the first of April. and owing to the great amount of money that has been expended for books, teachers salary, &c., very little, if any cash remains in the District Treasury, so that it will be necessary for our people to defray the expenses of the school by donation, which, we hope, they will do.

A Splendid Site.

Thanks to Mir. Moore-Master of Transpor- tation for the military here--we, on last Sun day, were treated to a ride to Fort Whipple and back to Prescott, visiting the site where quarters for General Crook and other officers are now being erected, which site is on the the hill, little to the southeast of the shan ties in which the said officers are now quar- tered. The new site is pretty high ground, from almost any portion of which one can feast his eyes upon the great snow-clad San Francisco Mountain, to the north; the Priet- ta to the South; Granite Mountain, to the west. Thumb Butte and several other nota- ble landmarks and several beautiful valleys, likewise to the west, lend charm to life in this wild, isolated, " dark and bloody ground of the Great West.
The weekly Arizona miner., 1872-03-23

The situation of settlers around Prescott is now dangerous, if not pitiable. The say. ages are lowering around the settlements ii, large numbers, and the military, whose duty it should be to chase them away, are so tied up by recent orders from Washington, that, eager as the gallent men are to go out against the enemy, they dare not do so, no matter how many crimes the savages have, or may commit.
 Between Monday and Tuesday of last week, party of red scoundrels visited Will liamson Valley, which lies about twenty-five miles northwest of Prescott, captured and drove off about twelve head of horses and mules belonging to Messrs. Nugent, Zimmer- man and other poor farmers.
 During the same week, they visited Upper Lynx Creek, and robbed Mir. Poland of sev- eral animals
 Then, on Saturday, the 10th instant, they murdered Mexican, near Camp Verde, the particulars of which crime are detailed as follows in letter of March l9, from a citi- zen of the Rio Verde, which letter was ham, dcd us one day this week, by Joseph Melvin, of this place, who, with one other man had ran the gauntlet, between the Verde and this place. Here is the sad and sickening details
 "On the 16th, Mexican named Eudilesso Rebas, went out hunting, and some red dev- ills, (Apache-Mohaves, no doubt), ran across him about one mile and half above the post, and just on the line of the Reservation. and killed him. They shot him once in the breast and he ran for life, but they overhauled him and put the finishing touch by shooting him square in the forehead, after which they stripped him of his clothing, and went back to their rancheria, as is their usual custom, unmolcsted. Not even single soul went to look after them. c. c. Beans employees and Mr. Johnson, the butcher, went out and brought in the body of the murdered man. The savages are around the post and settle ment.
 "A few days since they tried to run off some stock at the settlement. Mir. Ralston says he saw them"
 Mir. Melvin says, that previous to the time he left Verde, "Crackey," the Indian Inter- preter at the post, had met and conversed with several Apache Mohave Indians, who informed him that they intended, soon, to attack and capture the post. Camp Verde IS about forty miles east from Prescott.
