THE INDIAN SITUATIoN.-The dispatch, which we publish elsewhere, with reference to General Custar's disastrous encounter with the Sioux, in Montana, reveals des- perate state of affairs in General Crook s and General Terry's Departments, and they have harder foe to handle than any thing they have hitherto encountered.
 When the dispatch was posted on bulletin-board down town, yester- day forenoon, it attracted large crowd, and many comments from men, many of whom are familiar with the Sioux mode of warefare, as we'll as with that of the Apache, COmanche, Pute, etc, etc, and while all seem to accord to the Sioux superior prowess to any of the other tribes, there is yet universal belief that General Crook is equal even to this emergency, and that if he is allowed to conduct the war in his own way, he will finally triumph, as he has always done in the past. The first dispatch is somewhat vague as to the fate of General Custar, but the second leaves no doubt upon our mind as to the fearful reality.

THE MoHAvE MAIL-Whether the fault IS in the contract or with the contractors does not affect the fact that the mail ar engagements between here and Mohave County are in deplorable condition. The Mohave mail leaves here at 2 o'clock on Monday morning, and is supposed to carry the mail that arrived oa Sunday night from California, Tucson, etc, whereas for some weeks past the southern mail has not ar- rived here until Monday night or Tuesday morning, from twelve to twenty-four hours after the the Mohave blackboard is gone. The consequence is that the mail intended for Mohave and that ought to be on its way there is obliged to lie in the Postofice here until the next Monday, and in the meantime the Postmaster gets cursinR for something that is entirely beyond his con- trol.

ITEMS PICKED UP ON THE MoHAvE ROAD Mrs. Egan, with her four handsome daugh ters arrived at the Oaks and Willows, June 20th from California, and in the evening MT. Smith, of that station, kindly placed his house and musical talent at their dispo- sal and an impromptu party was gotten up which proved decided success. Mrs. Egan, who, by the way, is only rivaled in good looks by her daughters, left next day for Walnut Creek where she intended to stop some time to recruit her cattle, of which she has quite band.
 Charles J. Stevens of Santa Barbara, Cali fornia hus just completed the delivery of 200 California horses to W. s. Riggs on the Little Colorado, and has taken in ex. change band of Utah cattle and has them at Oaks and Willows for sale. A good bar gain could be had by calling upon him, his stock is all accustomed to the climate and country and we'll adapted to dairy purposes. The saw-mill of Sherman and White near Mt. Hope is steadily turning out lumber at nearly Prescott prices, which finds a ready market at the Park, Cerbat, etc. The weather has been extremely warm this sea- son all along the route from Prescott to Hardyville.

TIE great case of Orr, ct al. vs. McCrack- in, ct al., in Mohave county, was decided at the late term of the District Court, at Ger bat by Judge Tweed, in favor of Alonzo E. Davis, one of the defendants. This suit in- volved the right to location on the famons McCrackin lode, and has been considered the most important suit ever tried in the Territory. We copy from the Wallapai En- terprise this emphatic language of the Judge in rendering his decision in the case:
 "While am upon the bench and my rul- ings in this regard are unreversed, it may be understood that the possession of mining claim or other real estate, obtained by stealth, or fraud, or force and violence and so maintained, is not possession which can entitle the one SO obtaining and holding it to any rights as against the true owners of such property"

TIE attempt in certain quarters to bring the army into disrespect, in Arizona, smacks somewhat of the conduct of the man who killed the goose that layed the golden egg; differing, however, in this, that the simple ton who killed the goose thought to get all the eggs at once, while it is difficult to di- vine the object of his imitators. We notice that when from any cause the quartermaster is out of funds there is a stringency in the money market and all classes of our people feel the pressure. If this be so on tempo rry occasions what would be the effect in case we should succeed in causing the with drawal of so great a nuisance as the troops from the Territoryl Stranger things have been done, and now that the San Carlos In- dian police is organized and officered, there would seem to be bat little further use for white soldiery in the South.

5. M. Vessels has determined to erect hi large smelling works at Walnut Grove. The location selected is on Hassayampa Creek a, the mouth of the John White ditch. The capacity of these works, as we have before published, IS thirty tons per day, and, as it is difficult to obtain lead sufficient to fiux such large quantities of dry ores, he has se- fected Walnut Grove as the most central po- sition where wood, water and Aux can be con centrated with the least difficulty. Mir. Vessels represents wealthy company of San Francisco gentlemen, known as the Pinal Mining Company, of which State Senator Thomas N. Wand is President. The con- pany was formed to operate in Pinal dis rict Final county, but upon examination Mr. Vessels came to the conclusion that while the ores of that district were high grade and profitable to ship, or work in a smaller furnace, his institution was too large to risk dependence upon them for a supply Tn the present state of mining development there, consequently he took look at Yava- pal and Mohave counties where he was bet ter pleased with the prospects as to quantity, and finally settled upon Walnut Grove in this county as offering the greatest induce ments, everything considered. His machin- cry has arrived on the ground and will soon be in process of erection. A store will also be put up in connection with the works to supply the employees and such others as choose to pstronize it. As mining and store keeping are two separate and distinct kinds of blsihess, requiring an entirely different cxpsFisnce and different order of ability to conduct them it may be that the merchan. dising feature of the business will not sdd to the success of the enterprise, | but so far as working ores successfully by | 'melting process is concerned, there can be | but little doubt, with MT. Vessels experi- 'nce and former success, that he will come as | ,ear getting all the metal the rock contains ' sny one that could be sent out even hough he were aFriburger.

FoR CoNGREss.-The name of Granville H. oury, of Maricopa county, is announced to-day as candidate for Delegate to Con- gross. His card explains itself, % that the reader will not be at loss to understand the conditions under which he has concluded to become candidate. Mir. Oury is leading lawyer of Phoenix, has been in the Territory for many years and is familiar with the wants of every portion of it. His ability is unquestioned, and his interest in the welfare of the Territory of his adoption is too mani- fest to require affirmation. While we shall not advocate the claims of any aspirant to office, or seek to disparage those of others, without the plainest evidence of unfitness, it is, nevertheless, proper to express the con- yiction that, if elected, MT. Oury will rep resent his constituency fairly and ably.

The habits as we'll as the age in which they lived, of the creatures that once inhabited these shells, when Chino Valley was vast sea and San Francisco mountain and the Mogollons merely islands in the waste of waters were all being figured out to scientific certainty when grandmother Peck upset all his the- ory and made sad havoc with science itself by remarking that she had brought those shells from Puget Sound to please the chil- dren, as there was nothing of the kind ever found here.
