McMahon almost in dying condition, | and three little children-the eldest about l five years old-haf-naked and crying for bread, while the husband and father, Law renee McMahon, lay upon the floor too drunk to feel the kicks that were administered to him by that officer. Just then the stage from Tucson to this place arrived there and fortunately one of the passengers therein was a physician, who attended to the lady and in short time relieved her of twins. Immedi- ately upon the receipt of the information, Mrs. Powell went up to Antelope Peak, well provided with provisions furnished by oul merchants, for the hungry children. Later physician and nurse were sent out 10 tn, sick woman, whose services were paid for by public contributions taken up in Yuma.

A,our INDfANs.-The Apache Mohayes and Apache Yumas on thc Verde reserve have been trying their very best to drive the Ton tos or real Apaches, of the reservation, and into another war, by falsely telling them that the soldiers were going to kill them. SO, Shuzlc- Pan, chief of the Apaches, recently told General Crook. This game will now stop, as the General has an Apache interpret CT who speaks both Spanish and Apache.
 The mongrel Indians of this vicinity, (Apache Yumas and Apache Mohaves), claim the Verde as their own country, and think that, should the Tontos leave the reservation, they, (the Apache Yumas and Mohayes,) would be enabled to do some killing and stealing, and blame it upon the Tontos,- which is an old game of theirs.
 While at Apache, General Crook made Pitone head chief of the White Mountain Apaches. Pitone is a young man, thorough ly attached to the whites, and anxious for the continuance of peace with the whites He is the bravest of the brave. and his ap. pointment over the old chiefs has not offend ed them.
 Polone, chief, was recently killed by an other Indian, in drunken row.

 The recent affair on the Gila is further proof of the necessity of troops on the Pi- ma reservation, yet we have not heard of Agent Stout asking for the company that awaits his orders.
 General Crooks policy of sending very bad Indians to "exercise at Alcataz and Fort Yuma, California, is now being followed by other commanders, and with good effect.
 The Indians of the San Carlos appeared very unhappy" when the General started Conception for Fort Yuma, but, upon learn ing that Conception would not be killed, they adjusted themselves to the situation.

MAIL MATrERs.-Col. l. N. Dawley, L. $. Special Mail Agent for Colorado, New Mex ico and Arizona, has been in the Territory for some time past, looking into the service and inspecting routes. From recent con. yersation with hm, we think he favors the running of Grants mail wagons by way of Peoples Valley, instead of Camp Date Creek, owing to the shOrtness of the Peoples Val ley route, and to the fact that be considers it better route.
 He also gave us to understand that the California Southern Pacific Railroad company are anxious to see line of stages running from the end of their road. uia towns in Mohave county to Prescott. and Mr. D. thinks that this, in time, will be the stage route of Northern Arizona, and will extend to New Mexico and Colorado.
 or this, we have no doubt our only fear is that we will have to wait too long for con nection with New Mexico and California by this route. .-.,
 The people and representatives of Nevada, California, Arizona. New Mexico, Kansas, Texas, Missouri and other States and Terri tories ought at once to make vigorous effort for the opening of this. the shortest and best trans-contlnental route between the heart of the Atlantic States and the Pacific country.
