Chance for Good Homes.

Surveys are being made by T. F. White on the valley of the G lila near Agua Caliente. He section lzes everything as he goes and leaves It ready for location and occupation. He expects to get through, and connect with sur. veys made here two years ago, in forty or fity days. From the Mar icopa line down this way are thou. sands of acres of magnificent land susceptible of easy yirrigation from the Gila river, which can be brought onto the surface without very great expenditure. Land on the same tract and of the same kind is cultivated and irrigated with water from the Agua Cali, ente springs; it shows what the soil will actually produce, and that is everything that has been tried on it. Grapes do finely; orange trees set out last spring have grown thriftily; fruit, vege tables and cereals of every kiud are grown very successfully. The land and water are unOccupied and open to settlers.

Bonanza.

Prescott boys have "struck if big" in the SENTINEL. Quite a lot of little Compositions " on this paper have been handed in to the Miner :; some of them are quite cunning, and one or two are nearly as good as a grown man could have written. One young ster, with the thOughtless ndiUete of childhood, alludes to our type and leads. Sonny, that is like pointing to the rent in some poor mans coat; gentlemen don't do that. Boys are turned loose from West Point too young anyhow.

TIe 3pRche Mohaves.

s We learn. md from good au- thOrity, that about twO-thirds of the Apache Iohave Italians that are drawing rations(?) at the San Carlos reservation, are now absent from that mace, and have been for several months. The bands that are absent are those of Hua- Chacama, IOmasSO and Charley, three Of the largest bands belong ing to the Apache. Mohave tribe. hese Indians are said to be in the vicinity of the Sandy, MOhave county, and on their old stamping ground.
 The foregoing is from the Miner, and implies against Indian Cum R grave charge, that should be proven or retracted. Two respOn- sible citizens of Yuma county have just returned from a tour through the whole country for merly occupied by the Apache Mohaves, between the Sandy and the GiIa, bssween the Hassyampa aud the 6@orado. They were hunting cattle ranges and spent over a fortnight in that country. They report that after leaving the Greenwood Mill they saw no In- dians and no sign of any, till their return to the Colorado. The old trail, around tanks and springs are fast iadiug and being grown over by grass. Charlie Culling accom- panied them from his station into the Baguehala mountains, a for mer headquarters of this tribe, and al, three, knowing no Indians to be about, considered it unnec- essary 10 carry any weapons. No depred8tiOns have been commit ted by this tribe for a long time; and in many respects circumstan-

We believe all of them to be on the San Carlos, except a few hali-civilized straggIers, who are living in Yuma county by their labor.

Railroad Items.

From a gentleman. just arrived
 from the terminus, We learn that
 some 1900 men are at work and
 pushing matters with due dili
 gence. Some delay has been
 caused by occasional non-arrival
 at the front of ties and rails. Stew
 art, superintendent of the c. < A.
 Stage Co.,, expected to make Cas-
 tie Rock the terminus of his line
 on Thursday, the Sth. The dis
 tance to-day from the terminus
 to the river is less than 60 miles,
 along the line located. From the
 mesa behind Hanlon's, for 73 miles
 to the northward the road runs on
 almost an airline, the deviation
 being only some three e-quarters of a mile in all that distance and but
 two trifling radients being made. The engineers have moved their
 headquarters from the bank of
 the river opposite town to a point on the south side of the Gila, near
 Descanso station, 12 miles from
 here. For the first time their GUS.
 tomary reticence on railroad mat
 ters has been laid aside, and it is
 now formally given to the public, that final location of their line has been adopted through the town of Yuma, and to a point four miles east of here. This is con- firmed by personal advices from officers of the company. Details of the route through town are not | divulged, probably with a view to facilitate securing the rig Int of l way. This portion of the Compa. ny's business is generally manag | ed by Judge Underhill. who is due here now in few days. The not being in the Con- pany's confidence. without hesi. tation, locates the bridge about 20O yards west of Madison Ave- nue, and places the road through Col. Bradley's kitchen, thence up the wash to the house of c. E. Fisher, and from there out be- tween the church and the ceme- tery, and so along the south bank of the Gila to Gila City; unless a cutoff is attempted through Tel. graph Gap. From Hanlon's mesa to opposite Yuma is a piece of crooked road, that presents some difficulty, grading this and bridg
 ing the river will keep the R. R. crowd here for d long time. and make this town lively one. The engineering party spent much time and money at Yuma that might seem useless, cut we believe | that the delay here was caused hy waiting for Congressional action, the Company not feeling sure of their course until determined by that. The instructions now are for final surveys to be pushed forward to the Rio Grande.

" DINNA YE HEAR IT? Ihs Cd'cnaAs are conesa'." Yuma is not Lucknow nor are we beseiged, but private advices inform Us that a drove of dromedaries and ca mels are coming here via the R. R. terminus. We beleive they will do we'll around here and make money for their owners. On the California side of the river and also on the desert below the Mexican boundary, are number ofrich mines and deposits of borax and other salts; none ef them have yet been worked, owing to the difficulty of transportation from lack of water for mules, Ga mels are said to pack from 400 to 800 pounds each and to be able to subsist week on an empty grain sack, without water.

VIM. P.

A queer proposition comes from epn Diego to Arizona. It is to suba:rihe money to help Tom Scot. The llorld assumes that Yuma has been unfriendly to Scott hecsIse it has heen friendly to the southern Faci ic. All wrong. J. .. CIa Ht7rd came here, ostensibIy ID the iuta gt of the Texas Paci-
 ic, anf 1fered all that has been 2 yen ,a he other road. He vas tr5stel ro-dially by the city author -ius, and by the people. He could accept nothing because De could gu rrsntee nothing in return, Tue Iexas Pacific Co. can today s inything they need from o1c pe, pie, prOUided they give some eyi1ence of working in good faith. This they have not yet done, On the contrary It has always has been represented by engineers and quid- that Tjghtat the Yuma Heads was the only practicable railroad crossing of the Colorado for hundreds of miles. This belief has been gen. eral. The agent of the T. P.

Some journals of Southern California iauded hr. Crawford's cuteness in heading of the $. F. R. R. by gobb.iag Up the only crossing of the Colorado. Ifthis had been the only ctJssjng, the dodge would have 6een mart, but as there are fcuT bette crossings inside of the flown limits. the trick only show ed one nand and instead of cinching any one. has only fur nished food for mirth. Yuma wants railroad to San Diego, and some day will have it. Any bona lle cHr..1 will be received with open hands but Yuma has no mo ney to spare just now for such bUrlesque on railroad building, as is presented on the Penitentiary hill by that solitary Mexican wheeling his six loads of Texas Pacific blue clay per diem. But for the encouragement leash, lands and influence already given by San Diego and her friends to the | Scott Icy out, her grand harhor would to-day have been the ter, miuus 0fa road built by some con- cern that meant business from the ,tart.

 mines have been paying a net profit of over $1G00 pci mOn:h.
 Heavy rains had fallen ln the dis trict and water was abundant everywhere; the tanks being all full. Several new openings are about to be made there on old and new mines. The ore is raised, dressed hauled to the river and shipped 10 San Francisco, where it sells at an average of $60 per ton, at an expense of less than S30 all told. No machinery is re- quired nor any outlay of capital. Castle Dome is the best poor mans mining district that we know of.

THE IDAHO, belonging to the Colorado s. Nav. Co.,, arrived at San Diego last Saturday, having been delayed on her trip to San Francisco by the breaking of a piston rod. She left the mouth of the river Feb. 9th, and met the accident on the 2lst. She then lad at Cerros Island seven days for repairs, same being made with what old iron could be found on board the ship. She ran short of coal and put into San Diego for a fresh supply. She had been ad- vertised to sail to day from San Francisco. but owing to the delay her sailing will be postponed.

THE MCCRACKEN.-A gentle man just from that mine tells us that on the 90 it. level they have over 40 feet of clean ore, which is turning out $1OO0 per day in their ten stamp mill. The dumps are all full of ore and waiting for more machinery, which is in cOntem- plation. The ore is all good but should be assorted fOl milling and for smelling, as some of the strata carry antimony and lead.

Col. WoOLsEY's name appears in the Miner under letter about the SENTINEL, which he says he has seen, although we do not find his name on our subscription list he probably borrowed that paper from somebody. He calls us'.juven- ile," and it makes US feel awfully. However we do not propose to indulge in personalities. Colonel Woolsey's record as a legislator belongs to the public, and we pro- pose to review it whenever public interest seems to require it, and not till then. His allusions in this connection to Hon. J. M. Redon. do are ungenerous and uncalled for. Redondo is not in town, and we have not heard him say much of anything about Woolsey-prob- ably there was very little worth saying. This letter we refer to is in fair English and the spelling is very good. Wonder who wrote it? As an electiOneering document we doubt its value. What else it can be intended for is a cOnun. drum. Why Noolsey should pitch in to the SENTINEL, we can not see, unless it is because its editor is an easy man to scare or get away with. and in bull dozirg as he could get a maximum of nOto- riety with a minimum of risk. As to our honesty. our record speaks louder for us than Woolsey's dec. lamation does against us, or for himself.

GEN. BANNING writes tC parties here, that Prest. CrOckeT of the s. P. k. R. tells him th@. road will cross the river right at Yuma, sure. He has now gone to New Mexico in the interest of the rail- road. The legislature, we beleive has finished it's session there, but perhaps an extra session will be convened. When Banning star ted in at Tucson. his bill was de. nounced as " infamous" a grab" &c. &c.; but by the time the ses- sion closed that bill was passed in one House by a vote of 15 out of IS members. The Gen. told the SENTINEL that he had not spent d cent of money on the boys; still he captured them and went home with their scaips at his belt, to cOmplacently receive the guerdon of his proWess. Wonder if legisla- tors in New Mexico will give themselves away so cheap.
