Gen. Crook in Harmony with the
 Administration Policy.

The following, from late Washington cor respondence of the San Francisco Alta, will be read with interest by Arizonans:
 ! WAsHisGroS, January 29.-Thcrc ha. been q great change apparently in the public sentiment ou the subject of the Indian question in Arizona People arc beginning to understand that tbe noli cy Of the Administration is being carried out to the letter by General Crook. There has been no change In the policy notwithstanding 1t has been repeatedly msrcpresented President Grant ad. Focatcs measures for the protection Of the Indian not Tor the license or their barbarous acts As is well known, the Reservation system was adouted with view 70 compelling the Indians to take in- ttiatory steps towards civilization to more effect. uaily break up their predatory customs, and 10 place them in condition in which they might be. both protected and watched over. To carry out this plan and enforce it's observance has given rise to many minor questions of policy, in which con nlcting ideas ofhumanity have mingled extensively
 Having given ample time for the different tribe, 10 be made aware of the different designs of our Do'ernment aud having provided the reservations h ls now as has been from the beginning, the purpose to punish all who persist in their old habits, with the severe arm of the military forces treating thein as public enemies and outlaws
 reace-pohcy men Of the Colyer stamp-peace- praters, aud trouble makers, have seriously impe- ded progress by their inpracticable notions and whd theories. Their experiments are things Of the past, for which The white settler as well as the Indian may thank God sincerely.
 General Crook has, however, all the time enjoy.

 short time ago an order made by General ] Crook to compel all those who were on the reser. vations to settle within one mile of the military | stations. This aroused Inc peace. praters here be- fore the War Department. They alleged that this | acto was tyranDicll and unjust, but displayed | only another instance of their hot-headed aud | Perverse interference with matters which they | did not understand, or in any way comprehend | General Crook sent his reasons to the head of the Department. Inasmuch as he was about to open decisive campaign against all refractory Indians and inasmuch as the boundaries of the reserva. lions were not yet we'll dehned by survey, he h had ound t necessary to make the order for the pro. eetlon of the obedient Indians, some of whom night be otherwise killed by the troops in their 'klrmlshes at distance from the forts.
 His communications were recently endorsed, 'ne to the Department of the Interior, with com. notices and approval of his course Both President Grant and General Sherman con. 'ur positively in the wisdom of his plan of action

A Washington correspondent of the Sac ramcnto Union of date February 2, is respon- sable for the following:
 "Patterson,' said the genial, conscientiou, and clean nouthed Nyc, approaching the sor- row stricken victim of Credit Mobilier, Pat tcrson, "you have often said to me, 'Nye what pity it is that man of your kindly impulses should not be a Christian' and here is Schuyler, too, who has urged me with tears in his eyes to stop swearing and join the Congressional Temperance Society, and now-I don't want to hurt your feelings, but ain't you Christian statesmen in pretty fixi don't think you have really done anything wrong, Patterson,' continued the cruel Nye "but if ever apply for a patent for d--d fool I want to file you with the caveat as g model"

The good effect of General Crooks vigor. ous measures against the Apaches seems al. ready to be making itself felt. Tho list of Indian outrages has been gradually dimin- ished since the 'peace" policy was abandon. ed: active operations are now suspended. but it is, we hope, but the calm which pre- cedes the storm-there are still too many stall-ted warriors on the reservations. A Tit. 'le oi the policy which in this State often resorts to lynch law Ito save expense" might w'th propriety be pursued in Arizona. --!Saa h'r"ordfpo (CR) G9Grdiaa.

KLY ARIZONA MINER: PRESCOTT MARCH 8, 1873.

Mr. Charles Miller, of Roswell, Lincoln county, arrived here on Thursday last, on his return from Camp Verde, Arizona. He left here on the 9th of December with eleven hundred head of beef cattle for that military post. went through the Mogollon Pass, ar- rived there distance of GO miles, with the loss of but three head of cattle. Mogollon Pass, has heretofore been believed by many to be impossible during the winter months, but Mr. Miller found no difficulty in passing, and reports plenty of good grass even now in mdwinter, and not snow enough to cause any trouble. Here is another practical show ing of the advantages a railroad on this par alel must always have over the northern route
 Mr. Miller also says that from leaving Ros- well until his arrival at Camp Apache, he was never more than sixty miles from the 3jth parallel.- Albuquerque Review.

at some OF the stores where
they are in the habit of deal,

at least 20 cents per year, pos

tain 1t IS that they will at least
have TO pay as much as though
they received their papers in

sumo this was a matter oI

supply the deficiency occasion
ed by increased salaries, but il
is hoped that both measures
will be short lived.
