 able land may be cultivated. Ther
 is no telling, without proper develop
 ment how much water may be obtained
 in the mesaon which the buildings arr situated, but surely great deal in ad dition to the considerable stream flow
 ing from it. The buildings are withou question the best finished on any rancl Tn Arizona. The doors, windows
 blinds, furniture and general detail:
 are excellent and for the country ex

 object of the owners, but they keer

 COTTONWOOD AND GOODWIN.
 From Eureka to Cottonwood, the dis
 tance is seventeen miles, over an un
 even but hard, smooth road. George
 Wesley runs this station and has sta
 bling, water and grain for animals and
 food for men. There is water and gooC
 camping ground between the two pla
 ces-say about five miles from Cotton
 wood. From the last place to Old
 Goodwin, the distance Is stated at twen
 ty miles, and the road is over uneven and some sandy ground, and it is regard ed very fair work for pair of animals tc draw a buggy with two men over it in four hours. Goodwin as Is well-knowr is an abandoned military post, and now nothing but station kept by Mir. Clan ton, trading post by Lacy S Stevens and postoffice, are there; but owing tc its relative situation is very promi nent station, the travel from San Carlos Apache and some from Clifton and Pueblo Viejo, as we'll as the mails from all these places, come and go by it All the necessities for man and beast can be had here, from which place San Carlos Indian agency lies down the Gila river thirty miles, over a fair road, and a good average horse can travel il Tn about four and one-half hours.
 SAN CARLOS AGENCY AND INDIANS.
 These have long been objects of in. terest, not only to the friends but enc. mics of peace in Ariz0na-or rather we might qualify this by saying not only to the friends of peace in Arizona but to those who regard peace subor. dinate to their own interests. Prior 10 Agent Clum'S arrival in August. 1874. the Indians at San Carlos had been the most unreliable of any in the Territory ; since that they have been the most re- liable, including the three thousand afterwards taken there from other agen- cies. Before hIs arrival, there was a divided and not well defined military and civil authority exercised over the Indians; since, civil authority has pre- vailed and has been we'll known to the Indians, and, accepting their statements as true, with the greatest relief and satisfaction to themselves. As before published in these columns, it was, in advance of his arrival, determined by the military to prevent Mir. Clum's sue cess, and from time to time these col umns have contained particulars in this regard. Owing to the liberal extracts from Agent Clum's annual report, which appeared last week in TIE CITI- ZEN, we will now omit any details of the opposition so long encountered and not yet wholly abandoned He has however practically mastered all local got complete control and, we believe, the confidence of over four thousand Apaches; and will only fail if at all-for want of that reasonable aid which every man we'll informed on the situation knows is absolutely neccs- sary for the support of so many people and the indispensable employees. Econ Omy is good word and when properly applied, cannot be too vigorously prac- iced, but false economy is often dan gerous to life and property, and just now there is foreboding that the lat Ter is to be applied to San Carlos in a way that can but endanger the existence of the agency and peace of the Terri tory; that is to say all the beef will be by the middle of April and all the flour by May 1, and no known steps have been taken to provide for he deficiency, notwithstanding the Agents earnest representations of the facts late in 1875. The Indians are planting more or less (Of which here ifter) but none of the crops can mature before August. If the Indian Bureau las no means at its disposal to supply his deficiency, Congress should at once provide them, for If not somehow lone, We may as well despair of peace n Arizona or success of the peace and industrial policy so admirably and au- inaugurated by Agent Cum 1t San Carlos.
