THE conundrum which exercised the brains of curious people for some time, viz : "Who killed Fred Loring?" it seems has not been satisfactorily answered yet. Now comes one pr. Tonner, agent for the Ari- zona tribes, and declares that the plan was laid and executed by Mexicans.
 The Rocky Mountain Herald (Den- ver) of August 3, gives the above We have entirely satisfactory evidence that not Mexican was engaged in or knew anything of the Loring mas sacre until the public generally did ; and that only Indians did the deed ; and that said Indians had constant communication with (if not resident upon) the Mohave and Date Creek reservations. This thing of charging the Mexicans with every crime where there was at any time room to doubt who committed it, has been to common, especially with those who want to cook up regulations for philanthropy by being special defenders of the Apache robbers and assassins. More of this will be heard by and by.

COUNTY FINANCES.

l The assessed value of real estate in
 Pima county this year is $31S, $50; of personal property, $366, 665, making a total of $6S5, ,495. After several sessions of careful labor, the Board of Equalization increased the real estate value by $13,66O, and the personal estate by $16, 529 30, making total of $715, ,6S4 30 upon which taxes have been levied. at the rate of $2,25 upon each $1OO, as detailed i'll our report of Supervisors Proceedings in another column.
 On August l. the county debt was $11, 1921, and the estimated expenses to January 1, 1873, amount tc $5OOO, making $16,321. to that date. The levy to meet this indebtedness, if all collected, will give $10,O19 so; add to this estimated collections of poll taxes, $500, fines, $500 and of licenses, $2,000, and we have $12,S19 so. It IS also estimated that there will be delinquent, on the general county fund, collections on January 1, $6OO. We believe all these estimated amounts are nearly correct, and as suming they are, on January 1, 1873, our county debt will be $4,117 20.
 The total amount of warrants drawn on the county treasury from August 1, 1871 to the same date 1872, is S16,- 952 co.
 The amount of taxes due, under the present levy, on the several funds is: Territorial general fund, $3,57S 90; Territorial school fund. $715 70; county general fund, $1O,O19 so; county school fund, $1,431 37; county road fund, $355 S5.
 The above shows healthy fnen- cial condition, and we believe few counties anywhere can exhibit 8 better financial record. During the twelve months following this August l, the expenses will hardly be as great as in the preceding twelve, owing to certain repairs on the Courthouse.
 MT. o. Buckalew, County Recorder, obliged us with the figures contained in the foregoing statement.

HON. R. c. McCoRMIcK's speech on Education in the Territories ap- pears in full in this paper. We be- lieve no other Delegate spoke upon the subject in Congress. Just at a time when our people are making such liberal advances in the matter of pub lie schools, this speech will be read with interest, especially in Arizona. It is brief and fortified by choice ex- tracts from eminent thinkers and workers ill the cause of popular edu- cation. It Is another evidence of Governor Mccormick fitness to rep resent all the interests of Arizona in Congress.

Railway Progress.

Dr. Lord received a letter few days ago from Camp Bowie, stating that the Texas and Pacific Railway en- gineers would reach there this week. They were pursuing their labors west ward under an escort from Fort Bay ard. Post commanders and others in charge of military supplies in Ari- zona already have orders to attend to the wants of the engineers as they advance. The Borderer of August ', says Col. George Walcott is chief of this party whose division of the labor lies between the Rio Grande River, N. M., and Pima Villages in Arizona.
 It is with entire satisfaction we hear men say that "the Texas and Pacific road may be built sometime"; that there Is nothing doing to encourage 8 belief it will be done in few years," &c. We have watched the reports, the official speeches and talks and acts connected with the Texas and Pacific road with the care of one anx- ious not to mislead his readers, as we'll as one having deep business interest which would be injured by self-deception, and we are entirely convinced that the managers mean active construction, and by this we mean that the road will be completed across the continent within five or six years at most.

Apache DepredatiOns.

In addition to the four murders III the Sonoita Valley, the Apaches have within week past stolen eight head of cattle and one horse just south of Tucson. Last Sunday night they went into B corral at Punta de Augua and stole |six horses and got entirely away with them, and at the same time chased a man on horse back two miles, shot him through both arms and killed his horse.
 On Thursday night, they visited the fields on the Rillito, and destroyed a large lot of watermelons.

FROM SONOITA VALLEY.

Four Men Murdered and Property
 Destroyed by Indians--Aggressiv
 Movements of the Troops.
 MT. l.. c. Hughes has kindly per mitted us to use the news contained in letter received from his brother Thomas Hughes, in substance as fol- lows:
 On the evening of the 9th, Gabina Ar riagO reached John Roberts ranch. He found dead body of one man just out side the house, and of two more about two hundred yards from it. Another man (no names are given) left Mir. Hughes ranch on the 4th, for Santa Cruz. He had the com pany of two men down the valley. The Indians attacked the party and killed the one first referred to- and the other two es- capped to Santa Cruz. The savages did not get the dead mans gun, but did get his horse and pistol. The Indians broke up the blows, scythes and everything they could get on Roberts ranch. What wheat they did not carry of, they destroyed. They rode their horses through the corn field and badly damaged the tender grow ing corn on both Mir. Roberts and MoOre's ranches.
 The Sergeant and men with him, buried the bodies of the first three men, and 8 party from Santa Cruz attended to the other. One of them had wife and child at Gardner's ranch.
 Lieutenants Bendire and Hall with their commands, and some thirty Mexican sol diers from Santa Cruz are in that section scouting, and it is believed they will make few good Indians.
 What blessing it will be if they do! Captain Summers Troop of Fifth Cavalry will soon be, if not already, at Calabasas, and all in all, we think Lo must get the worst of some of the movements in that section, and gladly we will record any and all actions wherein he does.

Three Good Indians.

/ Early last week some Apache braves visited the upper San Pedro settle ments, and on Tuesday morning six teen citizens took the trail and pur- sued the rascals about thirty-fve miles into the Santa Catarina mount aims, where they overlook and sur prised them early next morning. The result was the killing of three healthy warriors without any injuries received , :, by the citizens.
 A party which left on Monday morning to chastise the thieves and murderers mentioned in our paper of last week, made march of some thirty odd miles without finding the foe.
 MT. Gage, of Cienega Station, who was with the successful party, yester- day gave us these items. It IS cheer full to now and then record a success full raid on Lo by citizens who have to suffer so much by his acts.

We notice that the lessees of
the canals are anxious to re-
turn them to the State and take
fifty per cent. of the increased
value as a consideration for
their contract. Those who are
so unfortunate as to live near
the canal would be at a serious
loss to discover where their
Itincreased value" comes in.
The canals are almost practic-
ally worthless as they are, and
the best thing the State can do
is to get rid of the lessees and
give the canal from Columbus
to Portsmouth, under fair re-
striction as to rates, to the Scio-
to Valley R. R. for a roadbed.
In that manner it may do the
people of the State some ser
vice.

from Capt. Jones in regard to
his selection as candidate for
Elector of this District. 1t is
proper to remark that the Reg
lister has made no objection to
Capt Jones personally, but
blames the delegations at Col

tion at all, which 1t maintains
should have been left to the

When the editor of the Regis
ter remembers that the next
Congressional Convention will
not probably embrace the
same counties as the Electoral
district, he will have less cause
to question the .prOpriety of
the action Of the delegates,
and, at any rate, he is mistaken
in saying that this and the Ath-
ems district are the only ones
which selected candidates for
Electors. We have paid no
attention to the matter, but We
have noticed that Marcus
Boggs is the candidate for
Elector in the Chillicothe dis
trict, and we think a little
search would discover others,
as it has been the prevailing
custom to make the selection
at the State convention. AT
any rate we see no cause 10
grumble at the action of the
delegates, and the Register is
the only party we know of that
