PIoCHE, NEv.. July 6.-There are no Indian troubles in this county. An h. dian runner arrived in Pioche on Tues day last with the news of the killing of B. F. Holland, agent of the Maopa reservation, and William L. Carter, the blacksmith. The letter the runner brought says:
 SUNDAY, July l.-To W. L. Mckee, Sheriff: Last night band of horse thieves, four in number, shot and in- stantly killed William L. Carter and B. F. Holland at the reservation at about the time the moon rose. The murderers went to St George, Utah. All the men in the valley are out after them k. LOGAN, J. F."

New Settlers.

A letter received this week, says some twenty-three immigrants from Chicago were due on the Upper San Pedro. They left Chicago last Spring as men toned at the tune in THE CITIZEN. We are informed that they are all working people and will utilize the water of the river Tn such a way as 10 make it do large and good service and build up fine settlement.
 Some energetic Californians are now examining the streams and springs in inc Santa Rita and Patagonia noun tains and also some farther eastward and that they are much pleased with the country out that way.
 MT. Dan Ming tells us about quite 8 settlement growing up on the Upper Arivaipa He says that above where he is located on the creek, Messrs. Casey, George H. Stevens, William Wall, William Whalen and Captain Rodgers and several others have taken up claims The land occupied is west and northwest of Eureka Springs. MT. Ming says the land is very desirable and that some settlers are talking of sinking wells to increase the water sup ply, and that it can be done in this way without much expense.

Work is progressing on the Aztec mine. It is located in very rough mountains, and considerable labor has been required to build a road by which to transport supplies and materials to Camp TJltec-the Aztec Camp. Man .ager Magee returned from the works early this week, and says the prospects are all he could wish, and that the labor Is being well applied also that the re- cent rains have greatly improved the appearance of the district The health of the miners there and all about is excellent.
 We were shown some specimens of ore a few days ago, from the Ojero mine situated in the Aztec mining dis trict and near Camp Toltec. These specimens show green and yellow chlorides all though them, and would indicate a high grade of ore. MessTs Charles T. Metcalfe and James P. Thomson of San Francisco, are the owners of this property, and are now Incorporating an organization for the immediate working of the mine Judg- ing from what we were told in regard 10 the width and extent of the vein and the amount If rich ore to be found on the surface, we should say these gentle men were the pOssessors of a very fine property, which with but a small out lay rightly managed, will develOpe into a dividend paying mlne.
 \. C. Benedict was lately out Tn Orc BlalcO district where Messrs Kirk patrick. Flood and others are at work. All feel confident that a few months will pr ve the high value placed upon their mines. MT Flood said to Bene- dict: We are not saying much, but within three months we will have works under way and they will be no failure.
 Reports from the Santa Rita section are favorable.
 Parties are earnestly at work to make up working capital 10 systematically work the EnterpTIse Mine. They have no doubts of inc value of the mine but just at this time, 1t is pretty dir ticult to raise money to prosecute any new work.

Nor long since, Col. J. \. Andrews re- ceiyed notice that little over 5000 had been placed to his credit for improve ments at Camp Lowell. His estimate for proper completion of the quarters and post, was about 5000, but he is making the most of the sum allowed. During his command at Lowell, he has caused many improvements to be made. Trees have been planted and cultivated, and the general appearance of the post is neat and tasty, and everything about shows proper care on his part.

THE CITIZEN.
< c CAL NATTERS.


 C. $. .WINsLow alias Moore, arrested by Sheriff Shibell on the I'd, on a telegram from Ellis, Chief of San Francisco Police, escaped jail last Monday night. The cir. cumtsanees show quite clearly, that he re- ceived outside help, and Jailor Miller acknowledges that he was rather careless in leaving the cell keys lying exposed in the front room of the jail building. Af- ter considering all the circumstances Of the escape known to him, Sheriff ShibeIl accompanied by Constable B1ttner, took the trail for Sonora, and captured the escaped prisoner just over the line, and lodged him in jail here yesterday morning. We heartily congratulate Sheriff Shibell on his success in recapturing the prisoner, for we think ii will convince all willing to be convinced, that it is his determina- ton to not allow prisoners to escape pun ishment for want of vigilance on his part. This prisoner is evidently much desired in San Francisco, as We are informed that after his escape here, Detective Lees tele- graphed that a reward of $500 and ex- penses would be paid for bis recapture. There is now a requisition here from the Governor of California, for Winslow's re- turn to that State, and We presume the Sheriff will soon leave with the alleged forger.
 Since the above was in type, Sheriff Shibell informed us that he would leave tomorrow Tor San Francisco with bis prisoner and that he would take him through

The Mining stock Market.

Says the Alta of July 6: Those who had fondly calculated that immediate ly upon the resumption of business in the Stock Board after thelr vacations, an improvement in prices would pre- vail, were greatly disappointed by the course of business yesterday. It was dull, and prices were weak.
 In the afternoon business, there was no improvement over that of the morn ing, and the same listlessneSs that hung over the morning market extended in- to the afternoon and continued until the close of the days business. The apathy of the people and the lack of any new development, pOrtend no fa- vOrable future for the market The opinion is gradually gaining strength that the deal " is about over, and stocks will settle into their old listless and careless state.
