GoNE.-Jake Marks, Chairman of the board of County Commissioners and a mem- Der of the late firm of Marks & Steinberger, took his way westward on Thursdays train. We understand that he goes to Arizona to take part in government affairs down there. In losing Mir. Marks Elko parts with one of her best and most respected citizens, and the people of the Apache desolated country will gain good and worthy resident.
 We copy the foregoing from the Elko (Ne- vada) Independent of late date, Mir. Marks arrived here one day last week, and met with many old California and Nevada friends whose opinions coincide with. those of his Elko friend. Mir. NJ. is . partner in the mercan- tile house of c. P. Head S O., of this place, and, so far as we arc aware, does not propose to take any more part in Government affairs down here than is generally taken by any private citizen anywhere. He likes our coun- try and proposes to do all he can to help us develop and rid it of hostile Apaches.

Power, Who has decreed the ultimate disappear ance from this continent of all Indians IL Is our firm belief that no amount of provisions, pres cnts and kind treatment would affect the Apaches heart so as to make it good, and the sooner Gov ernment and people understand this matter, the better will 1t be for Whites and Indians.
 God knows, the military and citizens Of this Territory have done almost everything in their power to appeasc the savages, and we know that said savages are as bad, if not worse than ever before. In vain have our people fed them from their fields and focks in vain have they toiied that Apaches might loaf about the country in ideness; said Apaches are not yet satisfied neither will they ever be until many of them be- come open to conviction by bullets and sayo- nets.

A letter from S. R. De Long, Mayor of Tue son, of date April 2lst, says:
 Quite 8 party left here on the 10th inst, expecting to be gone about 40 days, prospect ing for placer gold. Their objective is near the line of Sonora, in the Guadalupe noun tains. about southeast from Camp Bowie
 Some frost about here, and the crops oi both barley and wheat have been considera- ply injured.
 Sonora papers are boiling with indignation against the Americans and are inviting "the wanderers home." We can stand 1t ii those likely to heed the invitation leave and stand not on the order of leaving.
 On the whole, it looks as though the dawn was breaking upon our Territory. so let us struggle on and day will come at last to our suffering people.
 From the letter of our regular correspond ent. of date April 24, we glean the following;
 Tucson was quite dull, and chances for its remaining so for about one month, were good.
 Surveyor Foreman had completed his job of surveying Tucson, for which he is to get S5,OOO. Our correspondent figures up total cost to Mir. F. at sl,476.5O, which will leave him the nice sum of S4, ,5235O, to pocket and carry out of the Territory with him, the knowledge of which had caused taxpayers to think that they had paid great deal too much for "their whistle"
 Captain Harry NJ. Smith, with his com pany-G, 2lst Infantry-had arrived from Camp Bowie and started for Oregon. The Captain and his company have done some good service while stationed in the Territory
 Mrs. Lescinsky and child had started fol New York. Mrs. l.. goes to visit her rela tives.
 c. O. Brown had gone to San Francisco tc purchase stock.
 Hopes were entertained that G. H. Oury and party would strike rich placer mines. Public School was we'll attended and de cided success.
 Dust plenty and So thick at times, ont could hardly sec through it.
 On the night of the l6th thieves brok, into house belonging to E. N. Fish S Co. and stole several sacks of corn. They were afterwards caught and placed in jail. It was rumored that the proprietor of tho Citizen newspaper-John Wasson-was about to visit Washington to explain" if possible ugly charges preferred against him by c. W c.

The Mexican Question.

Governor Stafford and other leading Ameri- cans of this Territory have recently talked long and earnest with prominent Mexcans rrsiding in this Territory, who have promised that, hereafter, they will do all they can to prevent the shedding of American blood by bad Mexicans from Sonora. They must, also, if possible, prevent said bad Mexicans from robbing our citizens.
 This paper pointed out this course several weeks ago, and We are glad that good Mex- cans have expressed willingness to pursue it. Should they fail to do so, retaliation is sure to follow any more evil deeds of the Sonora cut-throats, and Mexicans ought to be the last people in the world to court the i'll will of Americans.

Good Hope.

General Crook has taken the field against the murderous Apaches. Let us hope he will not leave "a patch" from which to raise another crop.
 The foregoing good hope was expressed by the Montana Ner NoriArest shortly after General Crook had taken the field last Win ter, when everybody on this Coast believed that Government had done saying ~How, @How," "Howardn to the Apaches, unti such time as they would be compelled tt acrook the pregnant hinges of their knees. &c., dc.

Political.

Since writing the article headed " Political" |" which is printed on the first page of this pa per, we have heard said that Judge Wm. J.. Berry. of this town, has Congressional aspira- tions; that Judge Carter would not be averse to running that Dr. W. W. Jones, of Ehr- enberg, might be induced to run, and that in case MT. Mccormick does not run MT. Whit ing, formerly of the firm of Hooper, Whiting & O., will run. Then, too, Col. Henry A.. Bigelow, of this place, has many friends who wish him to take the field. Are there any more?
