 We secuted irom this camp to the oo- no,ts and Santa Cfus valleys. Al Camp Cr;,tend.n. formerly old fer buchanan' there is fine stock ranch, and Lieut. Han ma introduced me to the proprietor, sr. Thomas Hughes, and an old-nmer. he o,ve me considerable infofmstr'a about Chuacauhau Apaches, and AS he was al oae time engaged in trading with them ~nen .Jeifords vas their Agent, his inisrma'ion was reliable, anl think knows ss m"ea ,hout Indian affairs in this section as any man in the country. If he chose to gise his kgowledge puDiiciiy, II wonid in'eTes. the citizens . great deal. but.l th.nk would not take we'll with Indian Agent Ctun We weat from Hughes to Morgaas ranch distance af alpnut 70 miles, and not a set
 tier between. Mir. Morgan is an old aeqnain- =
 ,ance from Prescott, and has tne ranch and fruit orchards He is also engaged n cattle raising. Between his ranch anu Huyhes' there is sufficient good tillable land for at least twenty ranches for stock or
 farming. Alter leaving Morganis, we secuted roll in ' foothills and mountains 10 Mowry m'nei fine grazing country all the way, and noti- ing in Northern Arizona io be compared with it in extent. The hills Src not too
 steep and there is plenty of wafer In springs

 Sonora. We secuted around the southern base of the Huachuca mountaiis-thls DOT ton of country it Is needless Co deserlbe, A
 it Is (at peese-t) outside cur jurisdiction | This country is far superior, for farming
 and cattle raising, than we have heretofore given ir credit for. and knowing that yoH ars rot preju9iced against dRy portion of onl | Territory, have no hesitancy in informing
 you of what vast amour. of valuable ianC 1 is here lying idle, & it may be If benefit t'
 some of the cmigrants now coming to Pres colt to continue their journey little iar,hei

 there is land sufficient .or farming and graz

 I sm satisfied that in two CT three months
 from now all danger frum hostile Indians
 will have ceased. The presence of the mil
 itary here is . guaranty of safety to ihos'
 who desire to settle up the country. Lieu
 tenants Hanna and Tucker keep the cnun
 try well secuted, and are able and willing | to look out f,r this portion of Arizona, an, wo. to the redskia that wanders down IT this vicinity, fur argus eyes are on the looi out for him, and 1t would be we'll for hin
 to arrange his worldly affairs ere he taxes t the war-psth in this neighborhood.
 Camp Huschuca is pleasantly located a the foot of one of the csnyors about eigh

 pleasant feature for the Hualpais. There plenty of game here, and good fishing i
 the San Pedrp; parties go down there occs

No danger of any person's hair ge' ting stiff here for the want of gress, a there are plenty of bears in the mountains and not few have contributed toward . supplying hsir-oil and meat for the gsrri son. Abundaace of pine timber abound in the canyons and oak on the foothill, There are several adobe buildings erccte here, post traders store, etc, all on privs, terms, The quarters arc all stocksdes 4 reading room, bsrber-shop and, suo things remind me of civilization. $. The so . diers have garden at old Fort Waller 2 and vegetables are plenty.
