Arizona weekly miner., 1874-01-30

II. K. Carter jr., arrived home from Wcken- burg yesterday afternoon. Mr Herbert in- forms us tEat George Monroe had just found an immense warm spring, tn the Castle creek country, and that Mr A. II. Peoples had gone Co take look at it. Bill Smiths Hume, aIobe houses at Wickcnburg, and George II. Wilson's house at Antelope, were greatly in. jured by the rains. The Vesnvius lode, in Walnut Grove district, producing richer gold rock than ever before. Owners and others were wild with excitement.
 And So the Supreme Court has affirmed the decision of the Court here, and given Mir Shivers the right Co use a certain share of the waters of Chino Valley. Perhaps Messr, Campbell Bake: will carry the case to A higher court.
 And that suit of Pondexter vs. the Vul- ture mining company, of which we have heard SD much, was dismissed.
 Aud then Messrs French & Lynn arc to have another chance for that Tiger claim.
 From reading our Wickenburg dispatches. concerning sheriff Herbert's treatment of the property of the Vulture mining company, we take it that the sherilf's business down there was to secure said property from being carried away by any of the poor victims of the company, and, of course, to give the county its rghtful first chance at said pro- perty, for back taxes. 1t is bad, very bad, to see so very many people kept out of their hard earnings by this company, yet, it may cause our people to be, in future, more ex- acting as regards getting pay, right straight along, from companies for whom they may hereafter labor.
 General Crook, Colonel Rockwell. L. S. A., and Dr Tonner, U. s. Special Indian Agent, started yesterday morning; Col R. for his station, Yuma Depot; the General for Camp Beaie Springs, and Dr T. for the Colorado river reserve.
 Previous to leaving, Colonel Rockwell, who has been acting chief quartermaster of the department, informed us that Captain Small who will act as chief quartermaster until the ] arrival of the officer already assigned will very soon be able to pay all indebtedness of the department, up to January lst. The public regret at the departure Of Col Rockwell is great, since be has proved him self, on very short acquaintance, 10 be a man | of honor and disbursing officer, who while doing his full duty by government, did not | ignore the fact that citizens having dealings with the government were entitled to some consideration, especially those who for months | past, have been disappointed in moi having received their pay for supplies, etc, furnished.
