 The high officials and some of the well-to do people of Tucson have been making themselves ridiculous, by ono day accusing the Chiricahua Apaehes of raising Ned down near Sonora; another day, the buga boo red skins arc accused of being from tho Warm, or Hot, Spring Reservation, in New Mexico. Still, another day and they arc registered as Comanches.
 The military authorities, who ought ta know, say that there arc no Indians in ths Territory, of reservations, save those who formerly resided on San Carlos under the great and good Agent Cum, and thatsin- dians now out from under his wing are merely starring" it, after the example set all Indians by Mr Cum and his Indian troupe, who recently got such rapid send offs,-first, to the States. by the treasurer of the carpet bagger'S, John Wasson (rRich is Surveyor General. by the grace of Gov. Saf- ford, R. C. Mccormick and cX-Senator Stewart; next from the States, by bigger bug, or bugger, than Wasson. who saw that Cum, instead of intending to his duties at San Carlos. was Scandalizing the not very honest and popular Indian Department al the East, while his sabordinates and the contracting human vuliureS of Tucson were, it is said, making good headway in driving Indians of the great Reservation, and thereby saCiRg rafi0as the value of which has gone to enrich faro-dealers, whisky sellers and others of lesser note
 The thieves organ used to have it that Mr. Cum conquered the Apaches and all other Arizona Indians, and that there could be no more troublesome red men within radius of hundreds Of miles from Mr Clum's quarters but here it is now shouting lustily about recent murders and robber- ies- by Indians, and cursing the military be- cause the commander thereof will not aban- don present Headquarters and establish others at Tucson. Let us hear from you on this point, you whining pap-sucker.
 We are sorry to know that Gov. Stafford is being taken in and done for by the design ing knaves who are now crying wolf. We hope he will soon have his eyes opened and be able to see through the Indian Ring veil that now makes him see Indians all around Tucson, q town that is pining for the pub- lie pap upon which, in former years, 1t grew and throve.

We have not read up the subject, but those who have, tell us that, as matters now look, Hayes and Wheeler have won the contest.

ARIZONA, AS SEEN BY A crTIzKs
 LOS ANGELES.

John MeCafferty, of Los Angeles, Cali fornia, has travelled and mined great deal in portions of our Territory, and this is what he says in recent letter. which we find in the Los Angeles Herald:
 The agricultural districts are good. but limited in extent, and are confined at present, to the bottom lands bordering the several rivers and streams.
 The pastoral ranges are numerous, and extensive in their scope, but are not suitable for all kinds of stock Horses and cattle have and will do well, but, notwithstand- ing what may be said to the contrary, sheep can never thrive upon these pasture ranges. The heritage is far too coarse, and, as far as can judge, the soft grasses can never be made to flourish, except in a few chosen spots along the various streams. This should be generally known throughout Cali fornia
 We will now turn our attention to its min eral resources, and, if | mistake not the near future will prove Arizona to be the new bonanza land. The carly opening of rail way communication will bring it's great min eral deposits more convincingly before the capitalists of California and the East. You may then hear them say, !" 1t $ now worthy of our attention" but, while that will be good, I must now say to them that, while it is better late than never, it is still better early than late, and therefore they should grapple with these undeveloped lodes at once.
 While Nevada can proudly point to the Comstock, her one true Assure, and say, l" It has shed its lustre throughout the world with credit to itself and with honor tO the great men of the Pacific slope still, Arizona can exultingly point to the McCracken, Peck and Tiger, which are true Assures, though still undeveloped. Now. there Is her Silver King. which, while not true Assure, and showing no signs of ledge formation, may be safely regarded as the silver wonder of the day.
 This is good, but the writer should have visited Middle and Northern Arizona, where there are hundreds of farms far from any stream, and thousands of fat sheep.
