Wool Market.

BosToN, May 6.-Wool has been quiet and steady during the past week. The demand has been principally for California fall and spring and super and x pulled. Fleece wool has been comparatively quiet Sales of Ohio and Pennsylvania, 1S,000 pounds
 XXX; Pennsylvania. 30; NN Ohio 4G; \ Ohio, 4c@46ia; Michigan flceces steady at 37613S. lS00O pounds Lew sold in this range. New York, New Hampshire and Western fc.cCs ranged from 3j to 3Sc., buf sales have been in small lots Transactions iu combing and delainc tleeces are confined to small lots. but stocks are small. Failed wools ara iz fair demand Sales 2l ,oUO for ihe week Eastern and Maine super, 70 to 4G cents down Co 30c for l,sw super, aud \ pulled 35is@ @40 e.; eombing pulled is in request and has been selling al 4s8i6. In California there has beea an increased trade, the sales 0f the week comprising s53,000 pounds al from l5a25c for spring and 22is for fail, mostly fail wool at lGW lSe,
 We can sec no reason why Arizona wool should not be elsssed with that of New York, New Hampshire aud the Western heeccs. We have been shown specimens of wool from the herd of Mr Smith, one of our wool growers, which will eqaai any- thing raised in pcBnsy ylsania or Ohio; and if our wool gsowers would Lut look Je their own interests and ship direct tD Boston, we confidently believe that they would realize equally with the Western wool growers, It is aa acknowledged fact, oy tlle best judges, that Arizona wool, free as 1t !s from uiri barrs and ihorns, Is superior to thc Caliior- nia wool still the men who are in tHe trade in San Francisco, never ackBoB ledge the fact, bat buy il in as cheap if not eheaper than the California fleece, which is as geueTAi thing one-third in weight burr and dIrt, while the Arizona fleece Is clean and free from all substance which has tendency to depreciate the sFticle in ,aiue.

INDIAN NEWS.

X dispatch from the Commanding Officer at Camp Bowie, dated June 9, received to- day, states: Lieut.. Touey returned from a most energetic pursuit of renegades. He overlook them in the Las Animas mountains They escaped in spite of his extraordinary efforts"
 The Las Animas mountains are about 100 miles southeast of Bowie, in New Mexico, and Lieut.. Touey must have made heavy marches to go so far and return, with the means he possessed. The number of In dians was very small, and of course more difficult to capture when overtaken. These Indians operate in such small parties that the only practicable method 10 capture them seems 10 be the one practiced under Gen. Crook, and that is, to order the Indians on the San Carlos reservation to capture them when they come in there, as they arc certain to do in time. l. seems now pretty certain that all the renegades at large are not more than 9 or 30. and if the heads of three or four of them could be had, il would stop the depredationS that have been going on ever since the Chiricahua Reserva- ton was broken up.

Mining Items.


 From outsiders who have come to Pres colt on business connected with Court, VIC have gleaned few items of interest no, previously noticed.
 The heated term set in strong on the 9th inst, and everywhere south from Prescott we hear of hot weather.
 The Sheriff brought in seven men as jurors from the Peek District, and others are pres ent from the Basil, Bradshaw, and Black Canyon.
 Forty men are at work in the Peek mine and al Lukes mill and mines forty-two more are busy.
 Prospecting is all the rage from Turkey Creek to Phmnix, aud occasionally rich strike makes a little stir in camp, Several good prospects have been recently found on lower Turkey Creek, in gold, silver, and copper, by Messrs. Archer, Dougherty, Deminit. Godfrey and others, east of the Peck District but the latest real sensation was produced in Alexandra, a week ago, by the exhibition of lot of ore from new discovery, named the Eastern Slope, s!iua ted about five miles southeast From the Peck mine-the fortunate owners of which are Frank Schultz. D. k lIough,elin, and Joseph \. Drew The vein only shows on the surface about 41O feet in length, but is very rich in both gold and silver showing pieaty of the former, coarse, and visible. m the or", and giving assays of silver up to $i.OJ0 per ton. A noticeable similarity be tween the peculiar red ore Of the Zalida and this mine exists.
 \ repetition of the news from tho Silver Prince, Black Warrior, and Peek mines may seem moaotouous, but it is certainly cn couraginc to be able to say that those veins are still welding plenty of rich ore. A sam pie of the last shipment from the Prince assayed Sl 100 per ton. Smith and But trick arc taking just as good ore from the Warrior. and the yield of Bullion from the Peck ComPany's mill speaks for itself In thc north Peek tunnel ihe pay streak which has continued for Weeks at from twelve 10 eighteen inches, suddenly, on thc 5th and 9th Of June. wideUcd tp B q, feet, SBd in- creased in richness as the width uf ore en- larged The punches of horn-siiycr. yellow chloride. and c4r-ores are pleasing "a behold, and some as rich a' and rare specimens have recently been preserved ss ever were taken from the mine.

GLOBE DIsrRICT-This is one of the rich est of the mineral regions of Arizona Its ores may be divided into four classes. First. free milling Ores-orcs containing chloride bromide and iodide of silver. and surface or dcsulphurized ores, which easily yield their silver by raw amalgamation; secondly, ores containing silver which do not work we'll by raw amalgamation; thirdly, cuprifcrous ores, containing sulphur, earhonic acid, silurium, arsenic - consisting of gray copper orc; {; tennantite and bounronite, which require to be roasted to be treated successfully; fourth. ores containing lead-as carbonate, or as sulphide oxide, silenide or silicate. which. owing to the small amount of lead they con tain, would be better beneficiated by roast ing.

When the train was running along in the locality mentioned, the prisoner. shackled as he was. in an unguarded moment jumped from the cars. AS soon as possible the train was stopped, and the officer allowed to turn him. self loose in the sage brush and hunt the fleeing bird.

The heat is described as quite oppressive, ranging during their stay from no to llS7 They remained in Yuma about 3G hours, and baths were eagerly sought after by the per spring martyrs of this warm trip or their return.
