MR. E. F. COTTON, who came Tn from Camp Bowie on Thursday, gives us the following Indian items: About the middle of last month, It. Rucker, Sixth Cavalry, was ordered by General
 KautZ on a scout in pursuit of some renegade Chiricahuas who had been committing depredations along our southern border and had lately driven of a number of horses belonging to
 MT. Thomas Hughes, near Crittenden. It. Rucker at the time was already .Out on a scout but on receipt of the order repaired to Bowie and after fit ting out his party left there with ten men of the Sixth Cavalry and some 40
 Indian scouts. Reaching the vicinity .Of Crittenden he got the direction and soon found the cold trail of the In dians and stolen stock. With charac- teristic perseverance he followed this trail just where It led, over mountain, valley and canyon. He crossed the Huachucas, came into the White river lcountry and beat up into the Steins Peak range, quite regardless of advan- ltages of water or easy roads, and kept
 on as long as his supplies and allotted time to be out would allow. The trail
 led for a long distance northeasterly, then turned south or southeast, appar- ently to some old haunts of the South Iern Chiricahuas. He found that the Indians gained in numbers and stock
 as they proceeded and at points had killed and eaten some of their animals
 He followed the trail over hundred
 miles but he was so far behind that the most he could do, within his limit of supplies and time was to ascertain the probable locality of the Indians and return to Bowie for more men and fresh supplies. At the time time Mir ColtOn left Bowie It. Rucker had near ly and thoroughly reftted his new scout and would immediately start south and follow the trail wherever it led. And every one who knows him says he will do it.

M. O'REILLY who has dug more wells and done as much good in Pima county as any man in it, was in town last Tues day. Mir. O'Reilly has started brand new station at the Three Oaks some five miles south Of Point of Mountain and three miles north of Croton Springs.
 Thence he has made new and good roads east to junction with the old road to Bowie at point some six miles this side of Ewell Springs, and a pew road west to junction with the mail road to San Pedro. From San Pedro to O'Renly's new station, which is called Central Springs station, is twenty-four miles. He has three springs of fine water, good accommodation: for man and beast and says that travel and freight have already commenced tc go by his place. NIT. 0'Reilly has late ly been prospecting in the Dos Cabe gas mountains where he found and located several gold lodges and a silver ledge From oGe Of the former, MT. Briggs this week brought in load of ore to take tc the Ostrich mill to have worked. If after all his arduous labors NIT. O'Reilly meets with bonanza in his mines and at his new station, he will get no more than his just deserts.

Railway Matters.

General Phineas Banning, pioneer of Los Angeles county, and well and favora- ply known to the earlier settlers in Tue son, arrived by stage last Saturday. He comes as agent of the Southern Pacific railway in California to look after the in- terests of the company, and, as we believe, also for the interests of the people of Ari- zona. Following so close upon the visit of Mir. Rice, we can but conclude the Company contemplate an early rail connection to and through Arizona, and by the way take Tucson in. Gen. Banning is not authorized to settle the questions be- longing to the engineering department, but he expresses a belief that the compa- ny's 32d-parallel road will come through Tucson, and therefore asked the Village Council to grant title to certain land for depot and other purposes. Mayor Allen convened the Council at his residence on Wednesday evening, and invited the citi- zens generally to be present, to consider the subject, and many prominent citizens at- tended. After calling the Council 60 order and stating the object of the meeting, he introduced Gen. Banning in his represent ative capacity. The General briefly stat ed the object of his mission and offered to answer any questions put to him to the
 best of his knowledge. After some dis cussion, all being very strongly in favor of encouraging the Company, a vote was called for and every one present voted to approve the donation asked of the Coun- cil on behalf of the Southern Pacific road,
 which amounts to this viz: Deed about2Oc acres within the town limits to the Com pany on condition that the road is built and in good running order to or through Tucson within five years from the date oi the conveyance, with a further proviso that within two years the Company must give a guarantee that the road will come through Tucson within five years, or re- lease the land to the town. The meeting was very harmonious and its action en- tirely satisfactory to Gen. Banning, and the conveyance will be promptly made as stated. Our limited space prevents the full mention we would like to make of the proceedings.

MR. JOHN W. DAVIS, of the Trench mine left with us the other day, piece oi one ofthe ancient ladders thatare frequent ly found in the Trench and which were made and used in the mine by the former workers, away back in the centuries some where. This ladder or fragment va; found at the depth of 145 feet in the mine There are abundant evidences along the Sonora border of extensive working o mines at a former period, and as in those crude times they didn't work anything that wasn't very rich, and only ceased work when killed or driven off by Indians these relics are very suspicious, and Sd vor of much ducats.
