Pima County Items.

We giean as follows from the Tucson Citi- zen of the 10th inst:
 Tucson was quiet and orderly, after the re- cent purifaction. Many bad Mexicans had fled to Sonora. The paper appeals to courts to hereafter do their duty, by vindicating the laws of the Territory. Second the motion.
 The village council had ordered the mar shal to rigidly enforce all corporation laws.
 Flour and other supplies were going for ward to the San Carlos reserve.
 E. N. Fish & Co.,, and other citizens were building and otherwise improving.
 Very little rain had, 80 far, fallen in Tue son.
 Citizens had subscribed S330 for marshal Espazza and Mariana Moline, as a slight re- compense for their efforts in detecting the murdcrers who were recently hung. ] paymaster Morrow was expecting Major David Taylor to relieve him.
 Lieut. Geo. B. Davis, Company b, 5th Cav airy, took Tuesdays stage for San Diego, en route to West Point, there to teach the bud ding warriors the Spanish language. Lieut.. Davis is highly spoken of by those who know him.
 Lieut.. Eckerson, of Camp Grant, got in from Grant on Tuesday evening. His mis- sion is to take back some deserters whose presence in Tucson led to the imprisonment of John Mitchell, of whom we made mention last Saturday. He will leave camp this morning with three prisoners. MT. Thomas Ewing starts this afternoon on business visit to the military posts north of the Gila.
 Paymaster Sprague was at Yuma on the 9th inst, and would return to San Francisco by the Newberne. | Last week two mules were stolen from Thomas Gardner, in Sonoita valley, and the house of "Gavena," near Crittenden, was robbed of some arms and ammunition. Two horses were also stolen from parties at the Patagonia mine. Gayena traced the thieves into Sonora and by the friendly aid of the authorities recovered his property. The horses taken from Patagonia are evidently those secured by Captain Jeffords on the Chiricahua reserve. At latest accounts the whereabouts of Mr. Gcrdner's mules were not discovered. Ono of these days, the thieves will get so reckless as to induce the good citizens to administer to them effective punishment.
 g. Capt. T. J. Jeiiords, agent of the CbirieS hua Apaches, was in town. He said he haG .-L~n sH'"~ sinlsn stock from some Coyoterc Apsches.

RAILRoADs.-At last it seems that the railroad question is taking shape that is likely to be very satisfactory to dwellers in Northern Arizona. It is authoritatively stated that the Southern Pacific Railroad is to be pushed forward to the crossing of the Colorado at the "Needles" without delay.
 Col. Thomas Scott has been elected Presi- dent of the Atlantic & Pacific Railroad and is expected to return from Europe immedi- ately to look after the new arrangement.
 J. E. Thompson, President of the Penn sylvana Central Railroad, has been over the A. & P. road to the terminus at venita and rumor says that probably the Texas Pacific road and the A. & P. road will form june. ton and cross the Rio Grande below Albu. quetque, and cross Arizona on tte 35th par. allel to the Needles, there to connect with the Southern Pacific road. Such change o the program is quite surprising and if car riet out will be very much to the advantag, of Northern Arizona.

SAVE YoUR BAcoS.--Besides the good work of having conquered the Indians, the military administration of Gen. Crook has accomplished great good for the Territory and it now proposes to purchase bacon, for the use of the troops, from the farmers oi the Territory, who will, we hope, be prepared to fill next bacon contract. So we learn from Gen. M. P. Small, the able and eiicien, Chief Commissa-y of Subsistence of the De. partment.
 The surplus stores which were recently disposed of to citizens, at cost and freight were God-send, and Gen. Crook is praised for not having, like former companies, per mitted such stores to be sold, wholesale, to traders.

Wagon Roads.

Cen. Crook having the Apaches well in band,.is turning hi, attention to the roads connecting the principal military posts and Indian reservations in the Territory.
 MT. Cooley, guide and interpreter at Camp Apache, has been, for some weeks, engaged in prospecting for a more direct and easy route from Camp Verde to Camp Apache, and has met with good success. Gen. Crook has ordered two companies of soldiers from Apache and two from Verde, to work on the road at once. The road will be from 40 to i50 miles in length, and will open magniii- cent grazing country, we'll wooded and wa tered, with many fine locations for farming on the line.
 The General has fifteen soldiers at work, making new road from Fort Whipple to Agua Fria valley, which will save days time to heavy teams between Whippe and the Verde, besides giving much easier grades than on the old road.
 We learn that in correspondence with Gen. Crook, Delegate Mccormick has expressed confidence that with the aid of the War De pertinent he will be able to get an appropri- ation from Congress for wagon roads in this Territory, which is much needed.
 Mir J. O'Brien was in Prescott, this week, from Peoples valley; he was looking out on his way up for the best location for wagon road over the Sierra Prieta range to Prescott subject in which the residents of the valley arc much interested.

Perkins and Mcdonald have been out to the district to examine some mines for themselves and a party of capitalists they represent, with a view to purchase if found as repre- sented.
