Business.

Business, the past summer, has been far from good in our Territory. The season has been hot one, and the heat, or something else, has kept people from moving about, trading, and making business. Just now however, there seems to be a sort of revival Traders here and elsewhere speak of it, so we know that the fall trade, always active, has set in. In this vicinity, men who, two months ago, expected naught, will have more or less corn, potatoes, etc, so that the years labor will not be entirely lost. Miners are, and have been, doing well with their aras tras and placer claims, and will so continue unless the everlasting Apache interferes with their programs.
 The wheat and barley raiser. of the Verde, Salt and Gila rivers are just beginning to re. alise little money for their grain, and to feel a little easier in mind and purse.
 It will soon be cool; travel by stages, buckboards, and by other modes is sure to increase, so that there is really no cause for hopelessness. Indeed, old and shrewd Ari. zonans, here and elsewhere, are fsttering themselves with visions of life. activity and prosperity--soon to come---such as we have not before had in this Territory.
 Our greatest need, at present, seems to be some great mining or other work, which would give employment to strapped strangers If the vulturs mining company, or the Tiger company, will do what they promise-star, extensive operations, in short time-their doing so would go great way towards bring ing flush times and encouraging others to fol. low in their footsteps.

Southeastern Arizona.

We glean as follows from the Tucson Cit izen of September l3:
 A correspoudent, writing from Camp Apache under date of September a, says that enc of Lieut. Wheeler's exploring parties had arrived there. Lieut. Wheeler had gone to Washington. The party came very near the San Francisco Mountain, and retracing their steps, crossed the Moge!son range.
 Indians, at Apache, have had fights among themselves. Two were killed. r Lieut. Manning had gone east on recruiting service.
 The Citizen wonders why Crook and his troops have not been thanked, by Govern. ment, for the good work they have perform. cd. It iss little singular.

POSTAL MArrERs-we learu, by letter from our delegate in congress, that Mir Robt. II. Choate has resigned the postmastership of Chloride, Mohave county, giving as his reasons that the furnace at that place was a failure and that the people had left. That the furnace was not success is an admitted fact; that the people had left, is not, Mir Hardy assures us, so much of fact. They are there yet, but Mir Choste is not, he hay ing removed to other diggings. Mr. Hardy further states that postofice is needed in the camp, but the salary sl2 per year, is why DO person cares to attend to it.
 Mrs Al. Zimmerman has been recommended ss postmistress at Williamson Valley, in this county. She is said to be competent and willing to take the position. If appointed, sbe will have the satisfaction of being the first Arizona postmistrcss.

ABoUr NEW PAPERs.-On a recent visit, Nr wa,son, editor and proprietor of the Citizen, Tucsou) informed us that some of the eitEens of that place had threatened him with an opposition paper, because, forsooth, they did not think his paper large enough. They should know that it is large and good enough for the patronage it receives. The same is true of every other paper in the Territory, and we glory in the spirit which moved Mir W. to so inform the gentlemen, who think that because few hundred men pay small subscriptions. annually, to their local paper, said paper ought to be as large as the Alta or Belietin.
 Publishing paper, in this Territory, is no cbild's play, and VIC know that none of those who have been engaged in it have made de. cent wages by their labor and investments This they will see when we inform them that it takes sbout seoo per week to run tb, MINER. .

Treasury Decision.

Following is an item taken from the Army and Navy Journal which is of interest to people who make roads on the public lands The road in question was built at some thou sands of dollars cost, and was and is to-day an accommodation to government which is worth money. But it can be seen that gov ernment will not pay for its use
 h reply to the communication Of Capt A. F Rockwell, A. Q. M., U. $. Army, Yuma Depot, A. T., of June l3 1873, forwarding letter of Messrs Wm. $. Hooper X Co, requesting the return o certain certificates in n rejected claim of wm Four, proprietor Of the Oatmfn Flat Toll-road A. T.. Quarterrnaster-GencraI Meigs says: .sThs claim having been rejected by the Second Comp tro!ler, for the reason that iie toi road is con strueted entirely on Government lands, and there. fore the proprietor has right to collect tolls on Government teams passing over said road the matter Of the return of tbe certificates was sub. mitted to the Secretary. of War, who decides tha, they De not returned, and that the issue of such certificates should cease. Instructions should be given to the local officers to the issue of such certificates.
 The remarks on the foregoing decision be. long to the Arizona Citizen. We have bu, to say that it Is, in our opinion, very sin. gular decision, and one that will not stand, for does not law of Congress give citizens the right to construct and maintain toll road. over the public lands of the United States and has not the War Department heretofore recognized this right by paying toll to the owners thereof7 Yes, indeed, and it isn't long since Mir Wm.

The Indian Situation..-Here and Elsewhere. ".''

Upon learning of Del-Che's last break, Gen Crook sent Lieut. Schuyler and other officers, with commands, to bring the euss and bis followers in, dead or alive. The General, himself, and Capt 'Nickerson, were going, in hot haste, to Verde, when Mir Was son overlook them, Monday last. We learn that he (Crook) does not expect ageneral outbreak, and thinks he will be able to cor ral bad Indians who are now out If cap tured, Del-Che ought to be killed.
 Scouts are out from almost all the posts in the Apache country.
 Citizens who have seen Apaches, on the war-path, say they are armed with new Gov ernrient guns and they accuse agents of hay ing given them said guns. Hunters report Indian sign plenty around Prescott and other places in this vicinity.
 While there may be no great danger, pros- pectors, travellers and others, ought to go we'll armed and be watchful. Apaches attack when least expected.
 The saucy Pimas have, again, been robbing poor farmers of Salt River.

Cattle, Sheep. Etc.

Mr. Wu,- H. Hardy--a tireless worker and tslker for Arizona. was in our village rece ntly apd informed us that while In Californis . short time syo, he learned, to his satisfaction that rapid work on railroad to this Terri. tory will soon commence. a
 In coming over the route, be was delighted at seeing abundance of grass and water, oil the way from Los Angeles to Hardyyillc and Prescott, some of which was being used by herds of cattle and sheep. Other herds are coming this way, and Mr. II. believes that this portion of the Territory will very soon count its domestic animals by the million.
 That water is scarce, on the surface, in some valleys, is no reason why sheep cannot be kept in them. Not at all. There Is abun- dance of water in all our valleys, at short distances below the surface, and wells can easily be put down. They have wells all through the dry portion of Southern Califor- nia--deep wells, too,-by means of which tens of thousands of sheep are watered.
