DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR,
 OFFICE OF INDIAN AFFAIRS,
 WASHINGTON, April II, 1877.
 HIS ExCELLENCY, 4. P. K. SAFFORD Governor of Arizona, Tucson. SIR Your communication of the 18th ult was duly received. The Indians al the Southern Apache agency have long been known as the most lawless and troublesome of any Indians Tn that Territory. I do not know that they have ever been severely or suffi- ciently punished at the hands of lhe military authorities, and from their pc culiarly unfortunate surroundings-be- ing in close proximity to a settlement where their stolen horses and other property are readily traded for whis- ky-their control has been no easy matter. l do not know Ina, it has been, therefore, entirely practicable for an agent to hold them completely in check; neither on the other hand, am l sure that the agent whn has been on ! this reservation for the las; six months, has had always sufficient fl imness and powers of control. He has, however, just rendered his resignation on ac- count of Ill health, anu il is to be hop ed that with the removal of the rene gade ChiricahuaS, under Agent Clum's supervision, to San Carlos-of which you are doubtless already fully inform ed-a new agent, chosen with due re- gard to the needs of the position, may succeed better with the Indians under his charge.
 1 beg to thank you very heartily for the thorough and intelligent support which the Indian service Tn Arizona has received at your hands, and to ex- press the hope that in the prospective changes of officials in that Territ ny, the cordial relations heretofore existing may be maIntaIned.
 Very respectfully, your obd't. serv't
 J. C. SMITH, Commissioner.
 In this connection, it should be sad that the authority tu remove all the h. dians at Hot Springs to San Carlos, was not given until April l6 and therefore the above letter only teferS to the removal of the renegade Chirica huas.

 IL is the intention of the Railroad company 10 add to the present number of steamers at an early day at least two more, vixen regular trips to all the points on the Colorado river north of Yuma and as high as Colyile will be made at shorter intervals than at pres ent, or as often as the state of the river will permit. The Colorado company will continue running their line ofoceau steamers on the gulf of California, making trips at intervals of 30 or 35 days and stoppi g at Magdalena bay La PaZ and San Lucas. in Lower Cali fornia; and Mazatlan and Guaymas, in Mexico.

Important Mining Land Decision.

The Secretary of the Interior, on the 18th of April, in the case of the Phil adelph;a Lode vs. The Pride of the West, Del Norte, Colorado. held that the contestant in mining case has no right Of appeal from the decision O the Commissioner of the General Land Office The only party entitled to appeal is the one who files an adverse claim Tn time, and commences suit thereon within thirty days from the date ot such filing. This decision is at variance with former decisions of the Department, but is in accord with de cisions which have been made for the past year.

Railroad ExcursiOD 10 Yuma.

Our little city was enlivened on Fri day by the arrival of 8 large party from San Francisco, via the Southern Cali fornia Pacific Railroad. The trip was made in astonishingly short time, only 34113 hours from San Francisco, but as an hour and half was spent at Los Angeles, the running time was but 33 hours. The road was clear from Los Angeles and the party came to the front in special train. The purpose of the States postOffice authorities to see the road and arrange for increasing the mail facilities for Southern California and this Territory. They found "the front at , 80 a. m. five miles and 5000 feet from this burg, and advancing rapidly. The excursionlsts all visited the town and expressed themselves highly delighted at the magnificent re- suits in the railroad construction they had witnessed, and at the general ap- pearance of Yuma and Its immediate vicinity. Several ladies, including Mrs MacCrellish, of San Francisco, Mrs Bangs and Miss Jeuks, of Washing ton, and Mrs. Woodwork, remained at Los Angeles. The gentlemen who came on to this point from Sal Francisco, included NJ. V. Bailey, assistant general superintendent of the United States railway mail service, MT. Smith, super intendent of the City Free Delivery System, Mir. Alexander, special agent POstOtiice Department, Gen. COey, post master of San Francisco, and Mr McEusick, superintendent for the Pa cihc coast, of the railway mail service, under whose direction the excursion was arranged in connection with Ed ward Curtis, of the Central Pacific. The guests embraced Congressmen Page, Pacheco, and Horace Davis, of California, MT. Mac cCrellish of the Alta California, MT. Upham Of the Bulletin, Col. k. J. Hinton, editor of the Even ing Post, Mr. McClatchy. of the Sa- cramentn Bee, with Messrs. Pearce, Gan artIst), Fould, Woodward and others. Col. w. c. Boyle, the we'll known Ari- zona mining engineer, was also mem Der of the party. He will be heartily welcomed back. Col. Hinton, of the San Francisco Post, remains over and will go over the Territory, visiting all the principal mining districts and towns before returning. He VII, in addition to corresponding with his valuable paper, obtain materials for a book he has in preparation on Arizona Territory, for which our people will look with Interest.
 The whole party were enthusiastic over ihe enjoyment the excursion had afforded them, and gave much credit to the taste and management of MT Kusick. We were informed by sever al gentlemen of the party, that com promise with Tom Scott would certain ly be effected sometime next week. Sentinel, April 2S.

The Impression i'm California.

Regarding the recent controversy between Gov. Stafford and Gen. Kautz, "P. W. D." (evidently P w. Dooner and no particular friend of the Cover nor) writes at Los Angeles to the En- terprise;
 The affairs that agitate Arizona from time 10 tune, are often regarded with a deep interest by many philosophical persons here; and, as rule, a position Is sought to be understood before be- Ing pronounced upon. But some things are not capable of beng understood in the light of experience, and among these latter is the championship of the Apache Indian by influential circles Tn Northern Arizona. Governor Saf. ford's position seems so well sustained by every little of evidence received here, some of which I personally know to be If a high order of authenticity, that there is but one opinion with us on the subject of his late controversy, and that is that he has been insulted and misrepresented in his conscientious efforts for the good of his people.

Some Life let.

The Texas Pacific railway company seems 10 have vitality yet At least the press treats it as live thing. And it may prove true that it has a satiSfac- tory understanding with the Southern Pacific, by which the latter is to con- tinue over It's route from Yuma to the Rio Grande at which point the roads are to connect. Congress has not declared the Texas Pacific franchise forfeited, an it does seem strange, in view of this fact, that the Southern Pacific should build directly over the surveyed route of the former, unless there is an existing and definite agreement between them. It is reasonable to presume that Col. Scott will unite the forces of the Texas Pacific with those of the South ern Pacific for further legislation to protect the intersts of both under this or some such understanding or positive agreement. The Colorado papers have recently taken up the advocacy of the Texas Pacific. The Denver Tribune publishes lengthy statistical article on it, and the Denver Herald says:
 The U. s. Senators and Representa- tive of Colorado, are all in favor of the Texas Pacific Railway, except MT. Tel Ter, who is the Colorado attorney for the Union Pacific's selfish interests. The construction of Texas Pacific road to the Pacific would b9 the very best thing for the great Southwest which could be encouraged by the coming Congress It would give employment to the suffering South, open up a world of now latent wealth in the rich min ing countries of New Mexico and ArI- zona, as well as become the key for opening the vast commerce of Western Texas, Northern Mexico, and the Pacific coast; thus affording the entire Middle and Southern States safe, cheap and pleasant trans-coutInental route all the year round.
 In any event, but a short time will elapse till we will have an overland line right through Tucson, or very near to it. The Southern Pacific can and may build the road alone, or it may be met on the Rio Grande by the Texas and Pacific. If the latter con- necton be made, then we will have the completed lIne much quicker In any event, the Southern Pacific will not long stop their line at Yuma or any other place short of an eastern connec- ton.
 Since writing the above, the Sentinel came to hand with an account of a large party of railway and postal of ficials and newspaper men to Yuma, and the Sentinel reports that these visitors were of the belief that compromise would be effected with the Texas Pacific by this week. The terms of the compromise are not stated, but without doubt it will not contain less than the righi of the Southern Pacific to build over the Texas Pacific route to the Rio Grande, with an interest in the land grant-if such interest can be given by the latter 10 the former or by the labor and power of both together. Everything looks to an early completion of the 32d parallel road, by the joint action of the two named companies.
