 NEW CAMP GRANT Feb. 2S, 1873.
 Perhaps a few notes about this Post
 may be of interest to your readers.
 It is situated near the base of Mt. Graham on the south side, with Mt.
 Turn bull to the northwest, the Apache
 Pass and Las dos Cabesas mountains
 to the southeast, the Dragon noun
 tains to the south, the San Pedro
 mountains on the west; and as far as the eye can reach southward are to be seen mountain after mountain, their
 tops covered with snow, some of them
 in the republic of Mexico, and so far
 away that they look like clouds sus-
 pended in the air. There is no snow
 at this Post, but at the distance of
 half mile on the top and sides of
 Mt. Graham there is plenty. A beau-- tiful little stream of spring water runs close by the west side of the camp. Only three officers are at pres ent at this Post; Captain Montgomery, y, who is ill command, Captain Thomp- son, who Is under arrest by order of General Crook, and Lieutenant Par dee, who is A. A. Q. M. and post ad- jutant; and with experimenting the erection of buildings, receiving and discharging trains loaded with freight which come every few days, Lieu tenant Pardee has his hands full. Dr. Clark is Post Surgeon. The Camp presents lively scene-every body | appearing busy. "No loafng allow ed here" seems to be the order. There is steam saw-mill run by soldiers saving lumber for the buildings. Hon. John B. Alien has contract to furnish the Post with wood for present use at $6 per cord, and Mr. Fairbanks to supply the hay at $2S per ton. Mr. Allen sold his stock in trade to Will liam Dempsey, who will run the " shebang" until the arrival of MT. Warren Buck-the post trader.
 The Governor and J. W. Hopkins got in here from the new settlement near Pueblo Viejo" on the Gila, on the morning of the 25th, and left for Tucson in the evening. MT. W. V. B. Wardwell--post- trader at Fort Craig, N. M.-and party came into this Post on the 25th. MT. w. Is looking out for a stock ranch; and if he succeeds to his notion, he will bring six to seven thousand cattle into this Territory, which are now on Red River i'll New Mexico. MT. Hooker, present beef contractor, has 1000 cattle here under charge of Mr. Kimberlain, and Tommy Bray is the genial soul who presides over the flock. The ill., defatigable and ever persevering o. Reilly has left his station between Tucson and Cienega Station and has located himself at what is called Ken nedy's Wells, where the road for this Post leaves that leading to old Camp Goodwin. Major Morrow was here and paid off the boys" and thereby gladdened their hearts, after winch ,23d) he left for Bowie, thence to Apache and back to Tucson.
 Captain Randall (of Apache) and with Lieutenant Brodie, came in here for rations, remained a couple of days and left for another scout after the hostiles. The Captain IS warrior in the best sense, and is worthy of the emulation of others.
 It is understood here that Cachiso don't want Post established in Mt. Graham as it Is too near his reserve and further that 1t looks as if Govern ment put no confidence in him and his treaty. It is reported that citi- zen went to Cotton Springs (off the reserve) to settle, and that Cachise or lered him away as 1t was too near his reserve.
 A party got in from Apache on the 25th, and report the roads very bad with eighteen inches of snow on the I leave for Apache to- day. F.
