The New Field.

The southeastern portion Of Arizona,
now enclosed in the immense confines
of the Chiricahua reservation and
heretofore the seat of Apache domin-
ion and the nursery of lawless-
ness and crime, is a rich domain
of mountain and valley, embracing
some Of the best mineral and agricul-
tural features in the Territory And
while the thought Of opening this
great region to settlement formed no
part of the motives which led to the
removal Of the Indians to San Carlos,
nevertheless the securing Of this tract
to the prospector and farmer will Ill
.timately result from the removal, and
will not be the least gain to the peo-
pie therefrOm. Some of the valleys
are said to be the best watered, and the
stock ranges the finest, in southern
Arizona But if all that has been re
ported at various times for years past
be true, there will yet be mineral dis
coveries and Developments in this
region surprising anything heretofore
known even in this rich mineral Terri
tory 1t is undoubtedly true that in
mining region, sections uncX-
plored but suspected to contain min
eral wealth are apt to be Overestimated
and to be made the scene of fabulous
stories of rich prospects. But Chiri-
cahua is not an entirely unexplOred
country and there are many reports Of
rich placer and lode locations thereon,
founded upon actual discovery and
sight. The region will probably soon
be thrown open to settlers. In the
meantime we hear of various persons
who have long known of mineral
wealth existing on the reservation, and
it is said that several parties will
shortly make incursions into this
hitherto forbidden land. Whether any
extraordinarily rich mineral prospects
be found there or not, certain it is that
Chiricahua embraces fine agricultural
and gazing facilities, and those first
on the ground will secure the most
fortunate locations If there are any
prowling squads Of renegade Apaches
lingering around this beautiful section
of territory, the incoming Settlers and
the troops at Bowie ought TO soon set
tie their destiny. Those who have
been over the reservation say it is i'm
possible to give one who has never
seen it an adequate idea of the beauty
and varied wealth of large portion
of it.

SOME one asked US the other day what
had become OF Speedy, Mr.. James Speedy,
whose CHEEKY voice and smart ways used
to do so much to keep the town from GO
ing to sleep. We thought everybody
knew that Mr.. Speedy had become a
sedate and solid merchant at Santa Rita,
dealing out merchandise in exchange for
auriferous lucre or deprecated currency
or collateral. As the years grow and
change, men change with them. Time
was when our hilarious friend Speedy
thought nothing of spending night with
the boys and has even been known TO
shuttle the cards with careless air" But
he resem bles a church deacon more than
any thing else now, and attends strictly
to business. II any body can make sue
cess OF a thing he ought, for ne is 'rustler."

IL the Silver City Herald, Jefiord's
states in letter dated June ), that all
the Indians who committed the muir
ders in the late outbreak, had all been
killed. 1t is hardly necessary 10 say
this is not so. but it might be as well
to correct the statement Pionsenay
and at least one other Indian murder
ed Rogers and Spence. Pionsenay
was lately the prisoner of Agent Clum
and he himself confessed the murder
to his captor, and said his accomplice
was now in Sonora.

The Cooks Canyon Robbers.

Our readers will recollect the stage
robbery which occurred some time
ago, just over our borders, in New Mex
leo. The Silver City Herald, of June
II, has the following:
/ From John A. Ketcham we learn
such particulars of the arrest of the
robbers Of the stage in Cooks Canyon
as he was apprised of. 1t seems that
there were four men connected with
/ the robbery-two Chilenians. a Ger
man named Joseph Hubbardt and an
American named Roscoe Burrill. The
Surviving Chilenians are named Hen
/ rique Rodriguez and FREDERICK Lopez.
After securing the booty the party
started in the direction of Chamborina,
where they stopped about week at
the house of a cOmrade-alsO a Chi
lenian. They then proceeded to the
city Of chihuahua where they sold
the gold dust. They remained about
that city few DAYS, telling business
men there, that they had discovered
rich gold diggings a few miles distant
\ short time afterwards they carried
! to private parties a lot of refined sill
yer amounting to four thousand dol
lars, which they sold. They also offer
ed a very fine gold watch for sale-the
same supposed to have been taken from
j. 5. ChIsm in Cooks canyon, the
night of the stage robbery. After thus
Idisposing of the silver and gold, they
secretly left chihuahua and went to
Ell PaSo, where it seems, the Chile.
mans murdered their companion in
Icrime. The dead body of the German,
Hubbard, was found; and upon suspi-
Icion Of murder, the Chilenians, were
Iarrested and imprisoned. where they
now are, and where we hope they will
remain until they are released through
a hole in the sky.
They have confessed their participa-
ltion in the stage robbery in Cooks
canyon, and from all we can learn in
regard TO them, they were engaged in
the road business in Nevada. Hen
.riques ROdrigues and Federico Lopez
were forced TO leave Phoebe in that
State, but we have not acertained the
nature of the crime of which they
were charged.

THE rainy season is at hand and during
the week the mountains and valleys east
and south OF here have been thoroughly
drenched: Thursday, and during the sue
ceeding night the clouds made connection
over Tucson and very light skirmishing
showers become the order. At this writ
ing, Friday morning, the clouds are
massed overhead and are moistening us
with a steady, DRILLING rain. Whether
we shall have wet or dry rainy season
all depends on whether it rains much or
not. We sincerely pray for abundant
showers but shall have TO patiently wait
on Providence.

Thought he had an Apache.

Dennis Farrell arrived in the city
last Saturday from Arizona, where he
had been serving Uncle Sam in the ca
pacity of a gallant soldier for six years.
While taking a walk on Stockton street
yesterday, Dennis happened to meet a
/ Celestial of rather dark color, whom
he mistook for an Apache Seeing
that the supposed Indian had no weap-
Ons, he concluded to take advantage Of
him. While the Celestial was in ii
STOPPING position, Dennis said to him
self: Bedad, an Eye got We now, We
dirthy scalpin' spalpeen ye," and he
gave the Celestial a terrible blow in
the face, and knocked him over. A
gentleman wearing a star happened to
see the One-Sided battle, and arrested
Dennis. In the police court this morn
ing Dennis was informed that he was
now in a civilized country and must
conduct himself accordingly, and
furthermore, in order to impress the
matter more firmly on his mind, he
could appear tomorrow morning and
leave some of his surplus greenbacks
las a contribution to the city treasury.
- Bulletin, June :.
As to whether the cowardly cur
Iabove mentioned was ever in Arizona
we are ignorant. But we are pretty
sure that he never saw any but a peace
able Apache if he was ever here. be
cause he would never have had the
courage to get far enough ont in the
country to see one of another kind.

Democratic Campaign in the

the Baltimore American writes, under
date Of August 25
Ii has leaked out that n strong and
carefully prepared circular has. been
issued by the National Executive
Democratic Committee at New York,
under the direction of Governor Til
den himself, and addressed in strict
confidence to the Democratic leaders in
every county Of the Southern States,
in relation to the management of the
campaign. The substance of the cir
cular has been aseertained. Tt urges
in direct and unqualified terms the
necessity of a united, vigorous and
determined action on the part of every
Democrat in the Southern States. It
notifies them TINT these States must
be carried for Tii,h-h, or success is
hopeIrss, warns them that the gov
erninent will probably stallion troops
at different points to guard the inter-
ests of free ballot, but insists
still that the election must be carried,
IL does not directly urge the employ

tiles, hut plainly intimates that at all
hazards success must be assured. At
the same time it solemnly warns the
hot bloo.ls of the party that no more
negroes must be killed until after the
election that disturbance of all kinds
between wlitss and blacks nust be
diseountenanced and prevented. 1t
speaks of the feeling at the North ON
this subject, ard appeals finally to the
Democracy to bo cautious vet firm.
1t is a bold, dangerous, tieaeherous
document, and the authorities in all
the Southern States should be placed
on their guard that the right of every
citizen To vote may be secured, free
from intimidatiohs and not controlled
by violence.
