Resources of Arizona.

Our old friend K R. Haines, Esq, who has just returned from Arizona, where be has been
 experimenting the construction of the mili-
 tary telegraph, illustrates the resources of
 that country thus: "Remove the Apaches from Arizona and there would be no soldiers, remove the soldiers and there would be no greenbacks, take away the greenbacks and
 there would be no white men, for there is
 nothing else 10 keep them there" According
 to this statement the Apaches are the foun. dalton of prosperity, and the Government do's the right thing in sending Quakers to nourisnr cherish and encourage the develop ment of this great source of comfort and wealth to the hardy settlers there. He fur teer reports that two bit meal in Los Angeles Gone of Johnny Moores best, for in- stance, IS feast for king compared with the mess of dirty beans furnished down there for one dollar. The barbers charge one dol lar for cutting hair and fifty cents for shaving a Christian. Potatoes are eight cents per pound, and the necrssaries of life are held at starvation prices. The picture would be a gloomy one, if drawn'by any one but Haines. in his quaint, inimitable way, and even as he tells 1t It makes us feel thankful that We live m Los Angeles aud not in Arizona.
 The above item we clip from the Los Angel es Weekly Mirror, and our first impulse was simply to refer to it briefly, but in order that all our readers nay participate in our feelings, We conclude to give the article entire, and reflte some of the statements therein. The impressions of MT Haines, or his statements, or those of any one man do not amount to anything as effecting the welfare of Arizona eventually, but now, when after ten years of perpetual warfare, we are just tasting the pleasures of peace, when thousands have been waiting until the Apaches were whip ped, to come to Arizona, the publication of such unwarrantable statements is calculated to be temporarily damaging to the interests "f the Territory. For years it has been our constant prayer that the power of Govern ment or Q pestllenoe would rid us of the Apa- cnes. We would rejoice today if every

SchuYler's Scout.

A letter from Lieut. W, s. Schuyler. dated Camp Mcdowell, Dec. 2Gth, gives some ad- ditional particulars in regard to his recent scout.
 He left Camp Verde Dec lst The next day two of his Indian guides deserted On the 4th inst. he surprised rauchcria and killed fifteen Indians, belonging to Natolc's band. Owing to snow, from one to two feet deep, in the Turret and Matizal mountains, travel was very fatisuing to the men. TJ get at one rancheria, the men were di,mountrd, and leaving guard with the animals, march ed twenty-thrce miles, hoping to surprise the redskins, but the Indians saw them and fled to the mountains. In order 70 deceive them, Lieut. s. divided his command--conccaling part in the rocks and sending the pack ami maIs on past the Indian village. The night was cold, and no fire was built, lest the In- dions should see it, and the men had to keep walking in circle all night, to keep from freezing. The Indians did not discover the rusc, and some of them returned to the rancheria, to meet their fate in the morning They found snow on the mountains, south of the east fork of the Verde, two feet deep.
 One Indian camp was attacked in a snow storm, and owing to the binding snow, pre- vented accurate shooting, and several Indians got away.
 The command reached Camp Mcdowell after twenty-five days scout, having recon structed 27 Indian warriors, destroying several of their camps and large amount of provision they had stored mp for winter.
 The business of reducing Apaches to sub jection involves some of the most arduous, e1- hausting labor to be performed by troops, but such scouts as these are doubly beneficial; those Indians that are killed are peaceable forever, and the destruction of their stores in midwinter, will force those who escape to re- turn to the reservations to get food, and when once again with plenty of food and in safe Quarters, they will not be likely to take to the mountains second time

 T5e WEEKLY MINER commences on it's eleventh volume vjth the new year, and will present itself t1 its patrons next Friday with l new head T-o many kind, complimentary. even fiattering notic es the WEEKLY has re ceived in other papers all over the country are fully appreciated by us, and we shall en deayor in the future not to fall back from the position already attained, but, if industry and perseverance, will accomplish more on the same line, to excel our past performance with the WEEKLY.
 As to its bantling, the DAILY, which is one month old tomorrow, we can make no rash promises, but repeat our statement, made on It's first appearance, that, if by reasonable support, by advertising and subscriptions, the public shali show that it meets their wants, and is useful to the community, it will con tinue to live and grow strong and larger, un. til it arrives at the size of it's parent
 Born in cold December, without local nour- ishment sufficient to sustain life, with its wet nurse-the teltgraph--for three weeks troub led with an intermittent sickness, which bid fair to become chronic, the chances seemed to be against its surviving, but to-day it is able to stand, with the assistance of friendly hands, and if it's present support is continued, will be able to worry through the winter, and, we trust, take hold of life with renewed yigor in the spring.

AN OUTRAGE.--Last Friday morning, Theo-
dore Price youth 10 years old, confined in
the Umatilla county Jail on charge of larceny,
managed to break open the cell door and leave
for parts unknown. Sheriff Nye and his depu-
ties Immediately started in pursuit. and Mon
day evening last Mr.. Wells and the Sheriff re-
turned, having the fugitive in charge. and he
is now occupying his old quarters. 1t is said
that Price should not be condemned very Sc
verely. for several reasons 1t is stated that
he worked around and laid by about $50; and
that some gamblers out in his neighborhood en-
tced him into their den and won his money by
putting up what is technically termed "cOld
deck" Price watched his opportunity, and
getting hold of the wallet of him who had won
| his money. took thercirom 500. leaving the bal
ancc $4,000 untouched.-Staie Rights Dem.
| If the facts of the above case are as stated
the victim should never have been arrested
When cunning and adroit thieves rope mex
perenced youths into their dens to deprive
them of their money, the law should punish the
robbers aud not their victims. Besides, per
son so Aeeced (and especially boy, has an
undoubted moral right to possess himself of
that of which he has been feloniously dispos-
sessed, when he can do so without violence,
without calling the law to his aid, as such a
process would greatly lessen the chances of the
property being recovered at all, by giving to
the wrong-doer time and opportunity to get rid
Of, or conceal his stolen possessions. 1t is a
shame to see the law successfully invoked in
this age of the world for the protection of crime
and criminals, and for the punishment of those
who have suffered wrong

"A LADY writing from Sapivi, Nez Perce
Reservation, says that many. of the Indians
travel ten or twelve miles on Sunday to attend
church, and more attentive or devout con-
gregation can not be found in any civilized
community. In prayer they are very earnest,
and display mono of the hesitation and back
wardness which may sometimes be witnessed
among the white race" ."-Erchange.
Wonder who "A Lady" is. We apprehend
that "lady" is some Indian agent who is "civil-
izing" Indians at 81 500 per annum and steal
ings. Those "devout" Nez Perces are not apt
to exhibit their "devout procivities" to any
amazing extent when they leave their reserva-
ton to 60 on their annual buffalo hunt; for 50
soon as they make their appearance in Montana
they are the most troublesome and turbulent
vagabonds that we have. They stir up broils
with all other tribes they come in contact with,
endeavor by all the means in their power to in
cite other Indians into outbreaks against the
whites, and are generally rascally, thieving
set of 7agabonds whose annhilation would be
blessing to be grateful for-Montanian.
1t is indeed passing strange that the Nez
Perce Indians should behave 80 differently when
away from homo to what they do at home.
When we were in Idaho county some years
ago, they were the best behaved Indians on the
coast and we don't know anything about them
to the contrary yet. But we do know that we
met numbers of them two years ago. in the vi
cinity of Lake City, and found them unobtrus-
i've, peaceable, well-disposed, and remarkably
attentive to their own business. Is not the
