To the Doctor we here return our sincere thanks for the many favors shown and the kindly treatment received as his guest. He is as-. sisted in his arduous duties by Iiis brother-in law, and son of the p~oprletor, Ed. Grant. The town. of Wickenburg is the dullest in the Territory this season, al-, though last year it was just the reverse. Then the 4O-stamp Vul- ture mill, about half a mile from town, was in full blast, where's now, for reasons best known to the owners Of the mill, it lies idle. The mines are reported very rich.- and the mill in good order, but it seems there is a. 'freeze-out" game going on be- tween the owners unknown to each other. It IS rumored, how. ever, that they will start it again In week or two. There is an. ether mill on the same lead, about 15 miles from town, which is in full operation. It is a 1O- stamp mill, and is known as Smiths. In Wickenburg there is plenty of fruit,-some brought in from San Bernardino, and grapes raised On MT. Rarnbau's farm, about four miles from town, sron the Hassayampa river at the Phe- nix road. Mir. R. has one of the finest farms in Arizona. His or chard of pear, peach, apple, and other varieties of fruit trees, is unsurpassed anywhere.

Three of the party went out prospecting in the vicinity, and the others remained in camp. Mir. Sansome, who had remained, heard some noise in the bushes and immediately communicated the fact to his companions. Just then a gun was fired, and MT. Sansome fell, wounded in the left side.

After the party had got together again, they re- mained in camp until dark, when they proposed to slip away from the devils unperceived. In this, however. they failed. The Indians were in wait for them near where they had to go for water, and theI moment they appeared they were attacked again. After exchang ing several shots, and losing d pack mule, they succeeded in making their escape.

This morning J. Valentine ar

Douglas, Ito prevent bloodshed, jumped be- tween the two, just in time to re- ceive the contents of the pistol, killing him instantly. An inquest was held upon the body of theun- fortunate man, and a verdict ren- dered in accordance with the above facts. The prisoner was brought before Justice Irvine this morning, for examination, but he waived the right, and was re- manded to prison.
