The following is from the Arizona
Miner of October Goth:
Our Sheriff, J. S. Thomas, Jesse
Jackson and Geo. Carr, came in here a
short time ago, from the Bradshaw re-
gion, and have assured us that work
out there was we'll rewarded. Sheckles'
force had struck very rich ore in the
California claim on the Benton lode.
Every arastra was running on very
rich ore. Water was quite plenty
around Bradshaw city.
Think of this, Arizonians, you who
own in mines that are as good, If not
better than the Comstock. Time for
gain will surely come, and all
can afford to await its coming. Give
us transportation facilities, men, ma
chinery and means to work our mines,
and we will crown point higher than
that reached by the Nevada favorite.
Between 400 and 500 brood mares are
being driven here from California, for
distribution aiming the good Indians.
This is at the instance OF Gen. Crook,
who belives it good policy to help In
dians to property of this kind. More
cows will also be given to our we'll
meaning red brothers.
Roman Catholic Bishop SalpOinte,
of this territory, has gone to Washing
ton, to take the job of civilizing the
Indians Of our territory. Wonder why
he, or somO other Catholic power,
hasn't civilized them long ago. The
chances have been numerous.
The only thing in San Diego that
x<,l NJ nf M q
and Maricopas who recently passed
through that thriving village, was
Hortoll's big safe.
We have "brilliant" news from the
mines recently discovered near Gila
city, ore from which has been assayed
in San Diego, California, with results
that have astOnished the "natives" Of
that mercurial town, whose organs
the Union and World, Flourish over
the richness Of the ore.
Gen. Crook showed that he was not
very much afraid Of man or beast in
Apache land, when, on a recent night he
"camped OUT alone by himself, in the
woods east of Camp Verde. Not many
live Generals would go out hunting,
alone, in dangerous Indian country.
Referring to the San Bernardino and
Prescott Stage Line, it says:
DR.. J. HI. Pierson, Mr.. Grants gen.
eral superintendent, states that he has
always been prepared to accommodate
any number Of passengers by running
extra" stages, and that, owing to the
lack of Gravel" they would not have
been justified in increasing expenses
by running four-horse coaches, which
is why the tracking" neck and back
cracking buck boards have been allow
ed to almost kill people.
This statement we have until recent
ly, gulped down with considerable
ease, for we very we'll knew that pas
senQers have not been numerous. But,
there is another pillar to the edifice.
The Postmaster General, Mr.. Cress-
well, informs us, that for Carrying the
mail over the route in question twice a
week, Mr.. Grant receives $47, 1896 per
annum, which is much larger sum
than we, or any outsider had any idea
he received, and Is by all considered a
very fair compensation for the service,
If not, also, a bonus to induce the con-
tractor to help the Country" by en-
ablinp him to run decent vehicles, for
men, women and children to travel In.
Certain 1t is that Mr.. Grant has done
we'll with the mails, but friendly as We
feel to him and his, we cannot but say
that our present knowledge of the
large sums he has been, is yet, receiv-
ing for carrying mails over the San
Bernardino route. the route along the
Colorado river, and that little route IN
California, have been, are, in our opin-
ion, sufficient, with the money paid by
passengers, and that received for car
rying express packages, enough to
keep up good line OF stages. and
leave him q decent balance. - -
