Indians About Prescott.

Following is taken from The Miner of February 10:
 It is stated that all the able-bodied Indians have left Camp Date Creek. and are prowling around Skull, Kirk land, Peoples and other valleys west of Prescott, in strong parties. One of these parties was recently encountered by MT. Saunders, on Fool Creek, on the trail from Walnut Grove to Wick enburg and about eight miles from the former place. Saunders, l.. R. Stevenson, and Vim. McCloud were out there hunting game, and having separated, Saunders, while creeping toward deer which he was endsavor- ing to shoot, was confronted by eight or ten Apaches who were lying in wait for him. He immediately fired and knocked one red-skin over first class frontierman style; retreated then, pursued by the balance, but turning quickly upon them, fired and shot another, and, repeating the pro- cess, wounded several others, until the Indians abandoned the hunt and he escaped without scratch.

Mining in Yavapai.

We extract the annexed cheerful items from The Miner of the 10th instant:
 From Bradshaw and Pine Grove Districts we have cheering news. D. c. Moreland and J. c. Thomas, who arrived in town Wednesday last, have informed us that the Tiger lode was dipping to the eastward; that the drift was in on the lode 16O feet; shaft down about 122 feet; ruby silver ore assaying as high as $l7.00O to the ton, had been struck, while the lode was widening at every foot sunk upon it.
 A San Francisco telegram of Jan- uary 31, says "a sample lot of 53 tons of chloride silver ore from the Ben jamine mine, Hassayampa District, Arizona, brought here for working, assays over $2,000 per ton."
 The placer miners on Lynx, Has sayampa, Black Canyon and other creeks are making average wages. Many of them came to town during the present week, for provisions, etc., bringing with them some very nice coarse gold.
 The Del Pasco mill is running but few hours every day, owing to the scarcity of water.

To Certain Claimants.

Edward Phelps, former U. S. Mar. shal, as long ago stated in these columns, left this Territory for Mexico without properly adjusting either his public or private accounts. Marshal Dickason has given the unadjusted public accounts of said Phelps, proper attention, and has been advised thereof by the Comptroller of the Treasury as follows:
 The Deputies of your predecessor must look to him for compensation. The jurors, witnesses, bailiffs, criers and all others except Deputy Mar sbals, may be paid by you upon the presentation of approved bills. Ju- TOTS and witnesses are payable only upon orders of Court. To avold mak- ing erroneous payments. each claim ant should make affidavit that he was not paid by your predecessor, and gave no receipt to him for the sum claimed.
 Marshal Dickason has funds to pay claims to a limited extent, and all persons having any unpaid ones will note the above instruction as to how payments will be made. The Mar shal is very anxious to close up this old business, and requests that all claimants will duly prepare their claims and either present them in person to himself or to his address in Tucson. Prompt attention will be given to all of these claims when re- ceived and authenticated as directed by the Comptroller.

THE stock growers in Colorado and other northern sections from this lati- tude, have lost heavily by this cold Winter. However rich their grasses may remain during the whole year, they are net available in such Winters as the present one, and if they were, the unsheltered stock would perish from the inclemelcy of the weather. In nearly every part of Arizona, plenty of good grass is accessible to stock every day in the year, and the weather is always so mild that shelter would be useless. A letter just received from Colorado, puts inquiries on these points. But there is no use to particularly parade these facts, for they must be accompanied by the aggravating one that the Indians are yet worse on stock than the most rigorous Winters, so our Colorado neighbors need not be jealous of our climatic advantages.

GENERAL MEIGs, Quartermastel General U. s. Army, seems to be pos. sessed of a sympathetic spirit which manifests itself without reference tc position.
 G. M. Knight, of Arizona City writes that a man named George Jack son died at his place of typhoid fever on the Sth and was buried on the 9th that he found difficulty to get suitable attendants at the funeral that in at tempting to read the funeral service, he broke down from nervous excite ment and could not conclude it; where upon General Meigs stepped for ward and read the service right through to the satisfaction of all present."
 MT. Knight regards the incident of little account except as indicative that the General is gentleman with @ big heart, full of sympathy for his fellow man." It certainly serves to show not only these good qualities, but also that General Meigs is ob- servant of how all things are done wherever his visits extend.

WE have confirmation of the news
 that Governor Pesqueira and his forces
 met with serious reverses in his cam-
 paign into Sinaloa, and that this
 State is entirely in the hands of the revolutionists, and the legitimate Gov ernor had arrived at Guaymas ill
 Sonora. Early in this month, Gov. Pesqueira was at Alamos with the remnant of his forces preparing to again invade Sinaloa. His forces and those of the insurgents are said to be about equal-say 1000 to 1,2OO each. It is also reported that the insurgent Governor of Sinaloa is preparing to invade Sonora. It is not able, with an equal force on either side, that both States will be overrun at the same time.
 Late news from Altar, near the Arizona line and but 133 miles from Tucson, is to the effect that all capab ble men were being pressed into the military service, and that much alarm prevailed. It is certain that many people have recently y come to Arizona from Mexico to avoid the horrors of internal war. The danger is con- sidered as great in Sonora from her own malcontents as from the invaders as per report.

MIR. P. R. BRADY informs us that very lately the Apaches came right into the Florence neighborhood, and continued on down to Pima Villages and stole ten head of horses from the Pimas, and that the latter are out on the trail. It is not often the Pimas make campaign without punishing their enemies, and we expect to soon hear that they have had the usual success.

THE San Diego Union gets off some wholesome truth for any locality in this small paragraph:
 Those who have done most to build up San Diego are not the men who "came before the rush and made big grabs of land; but the men who came later and paid good prices for that land, and improved and made it valuable.

HOW TO GO WEST.

This is an enquiry which every one
should have truthfully answered before
he starts on his journey, and a little
care taken in examination of Routes
will in many cases save much trouble,
time and money.
The &c. B. & @. RR.," running from
Chicago, Though Galesburg to Bur-
lington, and the 81. B. & w. Route"
running from indianapolis, through
bloomington to Burlington, have
achieved splendid reputation in the
last two years as the leading Passen-
ger Routes to the West. At Burling-
ton they connect with the B. & NJ. r.
r. and form the great Burlington
Route, which runs direct through
Southern Iowa to Nebraska and Kan
sas, with close connections to Califor-
MIA and the Territories; and passen-
gers starting from Tionesta, on their
way westward, cannot do better than
to take the Burlington Route.

that the reputed Swiss patriots arche-
ry hit was u myth, aud that in fact
there never was tyrant Gessler, moth
ing remains to Tell.
Shades Of Switzerland One of the
most beautiful incidents contained in
the dull old school books shattered at
one blast from the Swiss Historical
Society Why is it that some old 70.
gies must dispel all the romance that
history containsP 1t was but a short
time ago that we read q statement that
the great speech of Patrick Henry, at
the outbreak Of the American Revolu.
tion, was all myth, and was written
by his biographer; that Pat. was an
lrishman with some good sense, but
was entirely uneducated and had new
er constructed a grammatical sentence
in his life. We suppose the next thing
on the carpet will be that the story
about Geo. Washington and his little
hatchet, was put up job, and never
happened; that Gin those days" there
were no hatchets, and everybody used
double-bitted axes, and that the Faith.
er OF his Country was a notorious liar
from his youth. Now we protest
against this wholesale denial of all
the romantic incidents contained in
school histories. Is any child, youth,
or man injured by believing that Tell
was an uncompromising patriot; that
Patrick Henry was a oul-stirring ora
tor, or that Geo. Washington was a
truthful boy as he was n great man ?
Now sor PHYS sake muzzle all these
societies who are bound to make out
that there is no truth in any of the
beautiful incidents of history.
