FROM MARIcoPA CoUSTY.-Our regular Phoenix correspondent having, for some cause, failed to connect himself, by letter, with this weeks MINER, we are in big luck to be able to give the following items, from a private letter of the 18th instant:
 Quite number of Maricopas were com plaining of bilious levers and diarrhea.- Barley was selling for one cent per pound, cash.--Messrs. Holcom & Hargrave have harvested about 524, 900 pounds of wheat and barley.-Messrs. Gray & Le Aimee harvested some $50 GOO pounds of wheat and barley. These are the heaviest crops raised, this year, by any firms or individuals in the yalley.-Moore & Carr's stage from Maricopa Wells, was making splendid time and doing good business. s.--Threshsrs were still at work. The steam thresher was turning out from 4,5OO to 7,500 pounds of grain, per day.
 There was dance at Phoenix, on the even- ing of the 14tb. Attendance small, owing to the heat.--Mercury had crawled up to lO9 in the shade.

body and "Modoca them and their stock and

body and "Modoc" them and their stock and crops.
 Seed for planting was issued to the Indi- ans at Verde sometime ago-corn, beans, squash and pumpkin seeds--nearly all of which the wretches boiled and ate. Dr. Will. Hams has blows and other farming mple- ments, and he cultivates a small garden for raising stuff for the use of his own table and the agency employees, but although there is great deal of land on the reservation that will raise good crops, even without irriga- tion, he has not required nor assisted his wards to cultivate it. A ditch might have easily been completed and in use that would carry water to irrigate 1000 acres, if he had set the Indians at work, but the ditch is not begun.
 Williams has "head farmer" at the agency named Vincent, who is also post trader, and Dr. Williams chief counsellor. This head farmer is no more efficient than the Dr. himself, and the consequence is that everything runs at loose ends.
 The rules of the Indian Department allow the hire of laborers and mechanics at the usual rate of wages in the country, and ra- tions; but men who have worked at the agency complain that Dr. Williams is not willing to pay customary wages, and will not issue to them the ration allowed, and several, after trial, have quit his service in disgust, and also in fear of the outbreak of the In- dians.
 Information has just reached Prescott that, the first of this week, It. Schuyler, with the chief clerk of the agency and the interpreter, started to go through the camps and count the Indians, who, on being requested to show the metallic checks (which were fur nshed to each Indian, each check having a number on it) the Indians threw the checks at the counting party and behaved in such manner that the party, being rather weak, became alarmed and did not finish the count, but returned to the agency.
 The state of affairs on the Verde, if these statements are true, deserve the careful at- tention of every citizen of Yavapai county; and Chas Ebner, Geo. Wilson, A. c. Buttner and others are willing to make affidavit to these and other facts showing the incompe- tency and gross mismansgement of Dr. Vii. Hams.
 The writer has no acquaintance with the Dr. and of course no feeling of any kind towards him personally, but is satisfied that the many similar statements concerning the treatment of the Indians under bis care must rest on strong foundation, and justify the belief that there is no guarantee that the h. dians will remain on the reservation single day without radical change in their treat ment, change not likely to be made while the Dr. is in charge.

GEN. o. O. HowARD.-Advices from Wash ington state that the accounts of Gen How ard and his officers show a deficiency of Sll,oOO, and Howard says he is ready to pay over S6,O0O to the proper officers. The ex- amining committee have received letters from colored men who served in the Army and Navy, saying they never received their bounty, though Towards accounts show to the contrary. The matter will be carefully investigated. Howard has always claimed to be poor man, but the books of the Asses sor's office in Washington, show that he and his chief clerk, Gen. Bullack, have been pay lag taxes on vast amount of property. Howard headed the Washington delegation to the International Congress of Young Mems Christian Associations at Poughkeepsie, N. Y, in session this month. What would be- come of the country were it not for the la- bors of good men like Gen. O. O. Howard2

IILToN's STEAM WAsHER.-This exceed ingly useful invention, for doing away with the drudgery of washing clothes in the old way, is now procurable by the washerwomen and men of Arizona, owing to the fact that Judge Brooks, of this place, has been ap- pointed, by letter and deed, to sell the ma chimes, in certain territory. One of them, just completed at the tin shop of Campbell & butfum, Prescott, was seen by us Thursday last. It IS no more nor less than & wash. boiler, with tanks of tin at the bottom and sides, for the generation of steam, which es. capes through apertures in these "steam chests, and goes out among the clothes to conquer, smeit and destroy the dirt. But, we nave said sufficient to call attention to this labor-saving "washer," and will now turn the reader over to Judge Brooks, and to an advertisement printed elsewhere, for fur. tber knowledge

A DEFENDER or JEFFERDs.- The Silver City (New Mexico) Mining Life, prints a short letter from a person signing himself "Peregrino," denying the charge recently made in this paper, to the effect that Capt. Jefierds, agent for Cachise, was Cachise's creature, This NIT. Peregrino must have been very green, indeed, to have imagined that few smooth words of praise for Mr Jeffords, and simple denial of our asser. tions regarding him, would be taken for more that they were secretly intended for,- the puritication of Jefferds and the advance ment, to some lucrative position, of the maker of the wbitewssh.

MR. DEL-CHE-It is rumored that this old scalawag of an Indian chief has again left his reservation and gone to war. The story goes that over a hundred Indians accompanied him. Let this news prove true, and the bad old red man will have to answer for about the 50th broken treaty and lying speech. A month has not elapsed since he told Gen. Crook that he would never again ",preak out" If he has broken out, and should again get caught, he ought to be made good Indian of, by killing.
 Later reports contradict the above rumor

DR. WILLIAMs.-A correspondent in to- days MINER, makes rather serious charges against pr. Williams, of the Verde reserve. In justice to the Dr. we will state that, citi- zens who have recently arrived from the Verde, say that the Dr. appeared to be doing better than formerly. But, as charges of grave nature are against him, their truth or falsity ought, at once, to be established. h. dians on reservations must be given no req sonable pretext for breaking out and com mencing anew the bloody work of former years

DEMANDS or THE SIOUX INDANs.-The Indian Department desired to remove the Sioux from their reservations in Nebraska and Wyoming, and sent commissioners to per suade them to go. As condition and com Pensation with the request, the great chief
 Red Cloud, demanded l,lOO stand of arms with ammunition and one hundred choice white women as squaws for his young war rors. His demands were refused and the commission proved failure. An exchange suggests that the President order a draft on The strong minded women of the country to m the number Red Cloud asks for, and men, t'ons susan E.

DULL TIMEs.-The low price at which grain is being sold, and the paucity of tho de- mand therefor, is telling upon every section of the Territory. Hereafter, grain contractors must not take contracts at figures that will kill all the geese that lay golden eggs. It is folly to talk of equalizing prices of goods with present prices of grain, until we have railroads. But, the game is made for this year, and farmers will have to do the best they can. Next year, "Granges" may exert some control over contractors.

A Encouragement Demanded.

When the system begins to wilt under the
effects OF the first cheated term," it is obvi-
GUS tina. it ought to be reinforced and sus-
tanned by wholesome stimulation. Toresor3
to the adulterated liquors of commerce in
such crisis, as too many do, is the heighth
of infatuated folly. All such fiery stimu-
lants have a sting. After the first effect
has passed away, that sting Is felt. The re-
action Is terrible. The prostration OF body
and mind which ensues, is more complete
than before. But the operation OF medi-
cal tonic like Hostetter's Stom sch Bitters,
In which extracts oithe rarest medical herbs
and roots are blended with the spirituous
essence Of rye, pure and undecided, Is very
different. No unpleasant reaction follows
its use. 1t is a permanent, and perpetual
invigorant, and there is NO phase OF sbility,
indige,t ion, biliousness, nervousness or in
iermitte Mt fever which 1t will not speedily
cure junl3

Bone and Muscle Nutrimenf.

Liebig has shown that oatmeal is
almost as nutritious as the very best
English beef, and that it is richer than
wheaton bread in the elements that go
to form bone and muscle. Prof. Forbes,
OF Edinburgh, during some twenty-nine
years measured the breadth and heigth
and also tested the strength Of both the
arms and loips OF the students in the
University-of course very numerous
class aud OF various nationalities,
drawn to that city and institution by
the fame Of his teaching. He found
that in heigth, strength OF arm and
loins, the BeIgisns were at the bottom
OF the list; a little above them the
French very much higher the English;
and highest OF all were the Scotch and
Scotch Irish from Ulster, who, like the
natives Of Scotland, are fed in their
early years with at least one meal day
