LEACH's SAY.

During our interview, Tuesday,
with Leach, the detective who fol-
lowed the Big Spring robbers through
200 miles of wilderness in Nebraska,
until he obtained information us to
their destination, he took occasion
to say that one night. when he was
taking a peep into the camp of the
robbers, he heard Collins administer
the oath to Berry and the rest Of the
gang, to the effect, that no one of
them should ''peach" on the other ;
and each one took a solemn oath that
he would not be taken alive. The
next night he slipped into the camp
after the band were all asleep, and
did not think a human being was in
hundreds of miles of them, and
stumbled upon the money (S5o, 000,1
sewed up in a blanket, fixed for strap
ping upon a mule. He tried to pull
it out of the camp, but it was so
heavy he could not move it, and while
he was endeavoring to get into it and
carry it off by piece-meal, some one
of the gang awoke, and he (Leach)
made himself scarce, and only the
darkness saved him. He says in his
scout after them he crawled miles
after them, through the grass, on his
hands and knees. He often saw them,
and knew Berry, Collins and some q
the others.
After the gang separated, Leach
followed after Berry and his 9spard''

 EDITOR MINER The farmers in this oasis in the desert are anticipating hne yield of grain in this Valley. It is better than Thompsons eyewater for sore eyes to see the green fields of waving grain shim- mering in the sunlight these delightful days of April. All are jubilAnt over the prospect of good prices for their grain when harvested, though it is very possible that some near sighted" merchant will take the Government contract at Whipple, at about one cent advance on what he will have to pay for it here, and consequently loose one and a-half cents per pound. Serves them right when they try to undersell the pro ducer.
 There Is some grumbling in our commu- nifty in regard to the action of the Road Commissioners letting the contract for the building of the Ph9nix and Yuma ruad, to Col. WOolsey, privately, letting no one else have chance to compete for the work And there is some street talk to the effect that the work on the Prescott road. via Black Canyon, will bc let to an other party an the same private terms. A petition is in circulation here, signed oy many citizens, asking said Road Commissioners to recon Sider the location of the Globe District road via McDowel and Camp Reno, at least until 1t is certain that more direct and practicable route cannot be found.
 Yesterday we had xepyhr from the West, f'r five hours. that must have originated beyond the Colorado river. by the amount ot sand and dust that accompanied it. With that exception our climate has been most delightful. In fact, Mir. Editor, to put the facts plainly. after residence of fifteen years in the most favored portions of Cali fornia, am prepared to make the assertion that the climate of Salt River Valley, although four months of the year are un- comfortably warm, is not surpassed by any of my experience and believe it cannot be excelled in North America. If were look ing for climate that was nearest perfec- ton. would fix on Phoenix. Maicopa Co.,, AT
 We had slight smallpox scare, but it has subsided, and we hear no more of it. Very many substantial improvements are being made, especially in the planting of orchards, ornamental trees and vineyards, and two of our farmers are trying to rear the Eucalyptus. In few years it can be truly said that this Valley blooms as the rrse." judging from the number ct rose slips planted this season. GRANGER.

Governor Mccormick.

The Philadelphia Loiger of March 30 contains the following piimentary notice of Gov. Mccormick:
 ASSISTANT SECRETARY MCCoRNICK.-As it so frequently happens that the Assistant Secretary of the Treasury Is called upon to discharge the duties and assume the rcspun- sibilitirs of the Secretary. we are specially pleased to note the appointment by the President to the first named office of so cap able, an in all ways so acceptable man as Hon. Richard C. Mccormick. The Prcsi- dent would have hnd to make long search in an cfr irt to do better Governor Me Cormick has had wide and varied experience of affairs, public and private, and large con tact with the public men of this and other countries. A New Yorker, and newspaper editor at the outset of his career, he has since spent many years aS Secretary of the frontier Territory of Arizona, as Governor and as Delegate in Congress. He is eXten- sively acquainted on both the Atlantic and Pacific slopes of the Union, and almo>. equally at home in both He is man of keen and quick intelligence, culture and ability, with broad anG statesmanlike views
 -liberal and honorable. He belongs to that priceless class of public men who can and do look at both sides of case in con troversy, and who makes it point to try to compose and settle difficulties by reason of rersuation-by looking at the side of duty and right as we'll as to the side of authority and official power. His induc- tion into SO important an office in the Trea- sury is a material accession of strength to the administration. Unless he shall undergo some change of nature, he will reflect credit and honor to the office an office which it IS more important to have filled by a man like him than it is that he shall occupy the office

approximation about 5000 acres of arabic lsnd on the Gila River reservation. The rest is for the most part barren desert. The river, on many portions of the reservs- ton runs dry in the summer, especially on the western portion, making crops uncer- tain. It is not to he presumed that all ln- dians. any more than all whites, are good. You will find black sheep in their hocks calculated for robbery or any crime; but you are as safe here as on the tltoroughfare of San Francisco or New York. And 1T you were to take all police and government from those commercial centers, you would be much safer on the Indian reserve, where neither exist. Complaints are from time 10 time made by men who are not any higher in intelligence than the Indian. and who arc prompted by pure meanneSS, and not reason. With regard to their right to leave the res eryation and take up land, an examination of the law on this subject will prove to grumblers that they have the right.

WIRES.
 Washington. April Q, 1877.
 Lincoln Hall was crowded tonight with a large and delighted audience assembled to hca the telephone concert. Although the singing of Miss Fannie Kellogg and Signcr Tagliapietra was received with great favor, there was evidently considerable impatience to hear the performances ou the telephone, which were near the close of the programme. Eight airs, commencing with Home, Sweet Home" and ending with Yankee Doodle. . were played by MT. F. Boscovitz in Phila- deiphia ana distinctly heard by every one in the above named hall in this city. The audience listened with profound attention. and the conclusion of each tune was enthus- iastically spplauded. The intonations were remarkably clear and perfect, exciting ad- ditional wonder and astonishment.
 REMARKS OF PROFESSOR GRAY.
 Professor Gray, in the course of his ex- planation of the means by which the sounds were transmitted, remarked that, whatever criticism might be made upon the present musical merits of the telephone. it must be at least regarded as decided scientific sue cess, a remark which the entire audience in. dorsed by hearty applause. He also stated as wonderful fact, discovered in his ex periments with the telephone. the electric waves of sound sent through a single wire are frequently conveyed inductively by other wires running parallel with it on the same poles though entirely disconnected. This statement was verified tonight in the Wash. lngton office of the New York Associated Press, where number of the tunes played m Philadelphia were distinctly heard on n relay used in the office which had no con-

STRANGE ANTICS or Two ONO GInLs.--
Two girls Of good looks, cultivated minds and
good parentage recently ran away from an
academy In Ohio, not far over the Pennsylya-
MIA line, and without money or clothing ex-
cept what they had on, got on board a rail-
way train and rode until they were put off by
the condaetoE Then they got on another
train. and were again put of, and after repeat
ed getting on and putting off, they wandered
Into awoods and subssted Oh stolen food. -
They had been living this gypsy life for some
days, INDUCING in strange antics, when their
friends and relatives having been aprr;:ccas &
their fight, hunted them down and carried
them homo by main force, They were in a
sorry plight. Their garments were soiled and
in tatters their hair was irretrievably tang
led, and they wererapidIs getting wild. They
fought against capture with tooth and nail,
and with such energy and spirit that they re-
sembled ballet girls IN scantiness Of attire
when they were finally overcome. After o
week of confinement they grew tractabIe, be-
came their gcntle selves once more, expressed
contrition for their behavior and explained
their eccentricities BY affirming that theJ
must have been possessed.
