Our Spanish Grant.

"El Paso de los Algodones is the name of a claimed Mexican grant of land which includes one edge of the town of Yuma and the lands lying along the river for several miles below. A bill was present ed before the Senate, March 2Sth, 1878, as follows: In the Senate of the United States, 45th Congress, 2d Session-S. 1OOS. Mr. Edmunds (by reques) asked and, by unanimous consent, obtained leave to bring in the following bill; which was read twice and referred to the Committee on Private Land Claims: A Bill-to pro- vide for the Private Land Claim in Ari- zona, called the Rancho "El Paso de los Algodones"
 Section ? provides that, on the survey being finished, patent be issued by the Commissioner of the General Land Office to the legal representatives or holders of the title to said rancho. Section pro- vides that the act shall take effect from and at the date of its passage.
 It was confidently expected that this bill would have passed had not one of its strongest friends been taken ill. It is now expected that it will be passed early in the next session of Congress-
 A petition to John Wasson, Esq, Sur veyor General of Arizona, was circulated and signed here, asking him to investigate and settle the above named private land claim, under the Act of Congress of 1871. But he can do nothing in the matter, be- cause his office has not been supplied, by appropriation, with the funds required for meeting the expense. He advises peti- tions to Congress. asking appropriation of funds for this purpose, or the creation of a Special Commission, or the prompt pass age of a long pending Senate bill em- towering the courts to settle these mat ters.
 All the papers relating to the Paso de los Algodones claim were transmitted to the Interior Department in 1874, at re- quest of the claimants. There is, there fore, nothing in our Surveyor Generals office npon which he can act in this mat ter, in accordance with the law of 1871.
 It is important to the town of Yuma that this matter should be definitely and speedily settled. It does not matter much to whom the lands really belong. But new men are constantly coming here, and they want to know from whom they are to get title.

THE newspapers published in the eastern part of the Territory give no adequate idea of the man. ner in which that section is being settled up. People have come in great numbers from the eastward, that route being the cheapest, and have brought quantities of live stock. The Prescott papers have told us something of the new settlements along! the Little Colorado, but even they do not seem to appreciate their full eX- tent and importance. The occu- patton of Pima County has of late been very fast and constant. We do not count the sWarms of pros pectors and miners that darken many a hillside; those we read of in print. But from well in- formed travellers and residents we hear that every stream is being tapped for irrigating purposes; that arabic lands are being brought under cultivation; and that graz ing lands and springs are being daily occupied by owners of horses, cattle and sheep; and that this is being done all over the county, and by hundreds of new corners. The heavy rains of this summer have filled streams and springs; have made crops; and have so clothed the country in green grass that it looks like a grazer's paradise. Southeastern Pima County, in such a season, must charm whoever sees it, as it has us under similar circum- stances.

ARIZONA SENTINEL.
SATURDAY. AUGUST 3, 1878.

THE peculiarities of Hayes ad- ministration crop out prominently in it's appointments to office. Last Sunday arrived here MT. St. Clair Dearing, a member of a wealthy and important family of Georgia. He was educated at West Point, by the United States, and was an artillery officer when the rebellion broke out. In fight ing against the United States he received wounds and incurred exposure which have seriously affected his health. It was thought that the climate of Arizona would benefit him, and an appointment was secured for him as a Special Indian Agent, to reside awhile at San Carlos. On arriving here it was evident that he could not en- dure the fatigues of the journey, and he returned to California. The climate of Los Angeles and Santa Monica seems to benefit him, and letters from citizens of Arizona have been asked for, in order that he may not lose his position and salary by not going on to San Carlos. He is evidently gentleman of culture and refine. ment; but while here he display ed irreSOlutiOn and peevishness that are expected from an invalid, but that cannot be tolerated in an Agent who may be called upon to control over 4,000 Apaches, the worst Indians in America. The lives of hundreds of Arizonans may at any moment depend solely upon the robust physical energy and the aggressive decision dis played by an Agent for the San Carlos Apaches. For this reason we object to having that Agency made sanitarium; or to having it filled by appointments made solely and only to conciliate the men who had the "fewest Greeks"

THE mail between Ehrenberg and Au- brey was robbed, last week, of number of registered letters, containing several hundred dollars. The crime was attributed to the carrier, Leandro Ymperial, as the bags were cut open after leaving the Ehrenberg office, and as Ymperial is re. ported to have absconded The latest news of him favored the idea that he was making his way to Sonora. Special Agent Charles Adams was on his way to Ehren- berg to inspect matters pertaining to Mo, have mails. At Chuckawalla he learned of the acts attributed to Ymperial, and got description of him. He at once re. turned to Dos Palmas and telegraphed to the Sheriff and Deputy U. s. Marshal here at Yuma. No arrest has yet been made.

THE beef contract for the San Carlos Indians for the year ending June 3Oth, 1879, was let at S2.SC per 100 pounds, live weight. The beeves have to be shut up without food or water for twenty-four hours before weighing. and are then re. quired to tip the scale at $40 pounds There is no money in it-not on the square. The other Indians get no beef; they have committed no ID urders lately.

MoHAvE County may get telegraph line after all. A line should be put up from Wickenburg to Fort Mohave, via Signal, as branch of the Military Tele- graph.

THERE must be some exceedingly rich gold bearing quartz lodges along the Sonora boundary. We this week saw, at Fitzgerald & Co.'s, sixteen ounces of gold that had simply been hammered out of its quartz, and showed for itself that it must have come from very rich "specimen streak It came from San Antonio, near the boundary at Sonoita, and southeast of the Ajo copper mine.

AN exciting shooting scrape occurred last Saturday about midnight. Some drunken Indians made a demonstration, with knives, against some citizens, who responded with firearms. The next morning one Indian lay dead on Main street, nearly opposite the harness shop, and a bloody trail showed that another had gone off toward the mesa wounded So many conflicting stories are told about the affair, that any detailed statement must be mere guess-work. No judicial investigation has been had.

CONSIDERABLE gold has been received from the new placers above Aubrey and reports that come in are very favorable. Francisco Sierras, who worked so many years for I. E. West, went over there and is said to have made as high as SIP per day. Finkler took up another flaming machine from the Indian Reserve. The sensational story about Americans being driven out by Mexicans appears to have had little foundation, and was probably set atloat by miners to keep more men from going in there. A saloon has been started at the river, near the mines, and we may soon look for the homicides that usually follow placer diggings and whisky.

Total distance ....,..

These distances are those estimated by stage men and parties who have been over the road They are probably correct; erring, if at all, rather by making the dis tance too great than too short. As the crow flies, and as plotted on the maps, the distance from Yuma to Prescott is 190 miles. Thus, the foregoing figures allow for angles and turns of the road about thirty.five miles, which is ample.

ARIzONANs may feel like cursing some

ARIzoNANs may feel like cursing some employees of the Postoffice Department. but it will do no good for their newspapers to do it. The fact is that they are nearly all of them good fellows and active men of business. But they get no chance to do justice to mail matters in the Terri tories, for two reasons: First-The De- partment can get no Congressional help from Territories, and to get it from Sena- tors and Congressman, it must heed all the demands made upon Its employees by | full -blooded States. Second--The Terri tories allotted to one Special Agent cover ground enough to fully tax all the ener- gies of half dozen Agents. For instance, the district allotted to Gen. Chas. Adams includes Arizona, New Mexico, Colorado, Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, Utah and the Black Hills region of Dacotah. It Is not proper to scold him for neglecting Ari- zona under such circumstances. He is expected to look after every mail depre- dation in his district. Since July 1st he has secured the conviction of seven differ ent mail robbers, and has now a large batch of pending cases. The villainous mail service in Mohave County was so forcibly brought to the notice of the De- partment that Agent Truman was specl- ally authorized to do something. He had plenty to do in California and never got farther than Yuma. Then Agent Sharp was detailed to straighten things out, but his health really did not permit his making rough trip. Then Gen. Adams came out and started for Ehrenberg last Sum- day, but turned back on important busi. ness; as soon as he struck telegraph wire messages came ordering him to go at once to investigate recent mail depre- dations in the Black Hills. Last Tuesday came Major Ray P Eaton, Superintendent of the " Star" Service, including the routes into Mohave County. He was the very man we were looking for. The others were Agents, with only power to report" on things; Major Eaton is an "Old Chief" with power to "do" things. We started to explain matters, but found him thoroughly posted, interested and con- versant with Mohave mail troubles. He was to have started up that way on Thurs day. Everything looked lovely, and as if Mohave mails would soon be all right. Wednesday afternoon he received tele- gram from Washington, and started for
 California. He said he would be buck in
 q week or so, and repeatedly promised that the entire mail service of Arizona should soon receive thorough overhauling and corrections; Mohave County getting its share first, being the nearest at hand.

THE examination of J. w. Swilling and Andrew Kirby, before Commissioner c. H. Brinley, on a charge of having robbed the stage, April 19, about four miles this side of Wickenburg, was made on Friday and Saturday last. The defendants were bound over to await action of Grand Jury, in the sum of S300000 each. Very little evidence was offered by the defence. The evidence for the prosecution was strong, but chiefly circumstantial. We have been requested not to publish details of the evidence, in order to lessen difficulty of obtaining gjurors. Swilling has been addicted to abuse of spirits, opium, etc: he suffers much from being restricted in use of these drugs.
