From the Arizona Miner, April 81

Peter Brannan, of Verde, informs us
that there are about 1,200 Apaches on
the Verde reservation, all in good
health and spirits.
John Rogers, the man who was re-
Gently wounded by the Hualpai In
dams, at the Willows, is in town.
People who have seen him say, "He
is shot to pieces"
Two good officers are about to depart
from the Territory on sick leave-Gen.
Carr and Major Brown. of the Fifth
Cavalry. The last named officer has
performed great deal of field duty in
the Territory.
John Smith, of Camp Mcdowell,
Maricopa county, informs u.s. by let
ter, that o party of prospectors had
Just discovered what they said was
very rich silver mine, thirty miles to
the southwest of Sacaton station, on
the ella. He had sent out practical
miner to look at the mines.
We hope that the time is not far
distant when the Government will
have to pay citizens for property stolen
and destroyed by marauding Indians,
as by such thieves thousands of from
tier people have been ruined and other
thousands crippled and bound to pow
erty for many years.
Chas. PletZ, assayer of Cerbat, in
this Territory, is almost positive that
he has discovered great secret-one
that will enable him to separate silver
from lead and other base metals with
much greater ease and rapidity than
the work has ever before been accom-
plished. He will soon give vent to his
ideas.
Our fellow tOWnSman, John Laugh
lin, arrived home q few days ago from
Walnut Grove mining district He
visited and took good look at the
Vesuvius gold mine and pronounces it
the richest of all mines he has ever
seen, which assertion we must take for
granted, since John has seen nearly all
the crack mines of California, Nevada,
New Mexico and Arizona.
We learn that Gen. M. p. Small,
acting chief quartermaster, military
department of Arizona, has received a
dispatch from Gen. Belknap, Secretary
of War, instructing him to complete
the public buildings already COM
menced at Camps Lowell and Grant.
One of the owners of the Salvador
mine showed us, a couple of hours ago,
small bar of gold, weighing two and
three-eighth ounces and valued at
$42 IS, the proceeds of just about one
ton of rock-top rock at that-from the
Salvador mine, near Prescott.
The troops under command of Lieu
tenants Ward and POLLEN, who went
out on scout from Camp Lowell
some weeks ago, came in Sunday. On
their last scout out from Florence into
Superstition Mountains, they found
great scarcity of Indians, but pr.
