TREACHERY IN ARIZONA.


 Our readers, by referring to letter from Governor Stafford to the Hon. k. C. McCor- mick and another letter which originated from the office of Ewing .S Curtis, will sec, at glance, what the object of the few has been in circulating false reports and writing letters tending to reflect oa General Kau,z. IL is evident they were written just because he refused Ia be used by the RRs in Pima county. The General, even refused to make his Headquarters, temporarily, at ar near Tucson which was suggested to him by these same gentlemen who arc trying all unfair means to have him removed Finding that General kautZ could not be reached through the means and plans first diviscd by them, they resort to another and more cowardly means by employing one ]. Lillicn Mercer to write long, uptrnthfui. damaging, in- >ulting letter (ro the detriment of tue whole Territoryl td the New York Herald We publish the letters in full and also a card from the General. IL will be remembered that when the ten thousand dollar appro- priation Was forced through the legislature to raise a company oi volunteers it was re- presented that twenty citizens had been killed within few days and hundreds of animals stolen by the Indians. To give our readers the truth of the whole depredations com mitted We have procured complete list of the men killed and stock stolen. (under affi davit,) which falls far short of being as re presented by the people of Pima county, and IL has been proven to the entire satisfaction ot every fair minded man in the whole coun- try that not one of the parties killed nor one | of the animals stolen was by Indians cf Arizona, but by Indians from lac Wam !

They run an open ,ut into the side of the E,"ua- tain about 40 feet. anal have thus far found neither side nor bottom to the vein, or, more properly speaking. quarry.
 MrJ ]. Hill has just discovered and loca- ted d silver lode. about thrcc-fourths of mile from the mill that assays up among the thousands.
 The Silver Belt, Silver Flake. Kit Carson. and Agua Fria mines, from which 50 much bul ion has been extracted at the Agua Fria furnace, are all in this district.
