McCrackin Matters.


 This morning we were waited upon b, one ot our leading business men, who beino large stockholder therein, is desirous ol having the affairs of the McCrackin Con. solidated Mining Company. of Arizona. thoroughly investigated. This mine. -,bv the way, has been one of the most nrors,;s. ing mining properties. The gentleman alleges that the McCrackin mine has shin ped bullion to this city amounting in tho aggregate to $516,0OO and is still canqble of producing at the rate of $75, GOO to st0o . Oo0 per month. The original capital stock was in 100000 shares, which really sold for $2 90 per share. The capital was sul,se- quently reduced to si00. .000 shares. which the gentleman considers worth S5 per share He further states that the managers have been promising dividend to the stock. holders monthly since last April. and is naturally indignant to find that. instead af fulfilling their promise, they clapped on the assessment of fifty cents per share. He thinks that stockholders should comb;as demand rigid investigation and ascertain Nhers the money has gone.--TS. F. Post.

Lincoln County. New Mexico.

This particular County in New Mexico seems to be troubled with band of out lsws that are hard to capture or bring under subjectioa. During the year 1877, evel twenty persons were killed in the vicinity of Fort Stanton, either in the discharge oi their duties. or resisting the officers of the law. Sheriff Brady and several of his men were killed during this present ycarIwhile In the performance of legal duties, and now comes the news of battle that was fought on the 18th of July on the Bonito River, by the present Sheriff and his posse, and a man by the name nf Nc Sween, and party cf dssperadoes who fortified themselves in h:s house The Sheriff demanded the sur render of the gang. but they answered back that death was sweet in comparison to sur render, and that they would die to the man. The bali opened--a great deal of firing was induiged m on both sides, Nc Sween's Aouse 6nally caught fire, and the desperados were driven from room te room, until they were finally compelled to abandon it, when Nc 6ween and seven of his men were killed. One of the Sheriff's posse, Robert Beckwith, son of H. M. Beckwith was killed. The authorities arc still following up the re- maindcy of Nc Sween's gang.

rnOoPs COMING TO ARrzoxA.

Now that the sth Infantry has been re
 moved from the Territory, and the back
 bone of the Indian war in Idaho entirely
 hrsken, it kas been decided prudent to send
 1hc 18th Infantry Regiment to this Terri.
 tory. General Willcox is the Colonel of the
 18th, and # is but natural that his whole regiment should be cenfered where he sin command.
 New Mexico, with not go much of fron- tier country to protect, and about the same number of Indians. with population of nearly 100000 inhabitants to deter the noble red man. irons committing deeds of murder and theft, which always holds a sscred corner in the bosom of the Indian, has about double the number of troops as that of Arizona. Altaough wedo not think the hue snd cry set up by the Yuma Agita- tor ofthe impending danger from an outbreak of the yrnas, and o.ter River Indians, should be regarded as anything serious, we do believe for the general safety and good of the whole Territory, that we have more troops. There will bc, after treaty is made with the Bannacks, snrpluss of troops and they caa be made available and of good ser vice in Arizora. Let us protect the Sonora line little more, watch over the San Car Jos Pmas, Papngo, Maricopa, Hualpai. and River tribes, and give them no show to enact in Arizona similar crime to those which mark the. lava beds of California, and cast ern Oregon. Give us our quota of troops, and with Gen. o. B. Willcox, who has proven himself careful commander, we will guarantee peace and quiet from our enemy.

rnn.x srAaEs noHBED IN ONE NIGHT
E.~.rd onered by the Governor.

On the evening of the 14th inst. the stage from Florence to Tucson and that from Tucson to Florence were both stopped by lhigkwaymen, near Desert Station, 2S miles north of Tucson, mails and Express plun- dered and the passengers compelled to yield up everything except the clothing on their backs. The robbers took the precau- tion to cut the telegraph wire before com
 hitting the robbery, and thus gained an advantage over the officers of the law, who
 could have been notified through this chan
 nei, and perhaps have headed them of.
 They took the stage horses and everything
 connected herewith worth carrying away.
 If the officers are diligent in hunting up
 these bold Knights, their capture Is only n
 matter of time. We understi nd that the Governor has offer d a reward of S1 900 for their capture, and the $500 standing reward of Wells, Fargo < Co, makes it an induce ment for people 10 hunt up the guilty ones and bring them to justice.
 On the same night, at a point about five miles west of Maricopa Wells, three more bandits, intent upon securing wealth with ont regard to the source from which they gained it, captured the westward bound stage, and from the tone of our special telegram, they succeeded admirably. These three robberys, with the one on the 11th, and another on the 5tb, makes five United States mails that have been piun- dered within the space of two weeks in Southern Arizona Major Dake, the new Marshal, who has filed his bond and entered upon the discharge of his duties, will see IhaS rohI f..it anH # sibe, placed under such restraints as will insure their non-interferancc in postal | matters for some years, at least.

The Public ic'Adminissrato of Sacramento County, (Cal-,) together with his partner in the saloon business, have been arrested, and charged with the murder of A. M. Tullis of flat County. Tullis was rich fruit grow CT of Grand Island, and it is thought the Public Administrator, whose name is Dye, murdered him simply for the chance to kandic his estate.
 We see by the Recori- Union, that the murdered man has brother living in Texas, and nephew supposed to be in California.
 Some time last fall, young man named Robert Tuliis, came to Prescott from Texas, and with another by the name of Wilson, undertook te capture the town and were both killed by the authorities. The name, sTullis, being an uncommon one, together with the fact that he was from Texas, leads us to the conclusion that the Robert Tullis killed here, was the nephew, supposed to bs in California.

The rate of taxation in Yavapai county for this year has been fixed at $3.50 per el00. Here m Yuma it was $S.y5 last year. Yavspsi ought to be able to support even more arcferm bummers than Yuma can. -[Sentinel.
 Our tax does not come under that caption exactly. County roads and the finest court house in Arizona arc some of the items that swell our rate of taxation. So long as we have something in sight to show for our somewhat oppressive rate of taxation there is spark of consolation in it, but to have a large county indebtedness, heavy taxation and nothing in sight makes the taxpayer squirm and little weak in the knees. sfRe- form bummers" are at e discount round Prescott- Not soul here that goes a cent On them.

 The fact that Kearney stole the commence ment of his oration at Faneuil Hall on Mon day evening bodily from an address de- livered by Col Bob Ingersoll, proposing James G. Blaine for the Presidency at the Cincinatti Convention, has already been es- tablished by the Bulletin. It appears from the following, copied from the Stock Report of this morning, that he stole the conclusion from speech delivered by Tom Fitch at the Hayes ratification meeting held in this city two years ago. The Stock Report says: : If any person happens to have copy of speech made by Tom Fitch at Republican meeting held at Union Hall this city in June. 1876, to ratify the nomination of Hayes and Wheeler, he will find the Orion. Uranus and Jupiter pyrotechnics, verbatim ct literatum ct punctatum. That Carl Browne, in patching up Kearney's speech should have stolen bodily two such cele- brated bursts of eioquence as these, and ssndwiched them indiscriminately in with Kearney's vulgar profanity and coarse abuse, shows either that Kearney's two-dollar- and a-half speech writer is poor specimen of his class, or else was perpetrating a joke | that may get him into trouble.
 It appears, therefore, that there were three men speaking On the Faneuil Hall l platform-that is to say, Ingersoll, Fitch | and kearney--when as a matter of fact. | there was only one present--thar is to say. | Kearney. Ingersoll is at this moment in | England, and tine silver-tongued Fitch has long since disappeared in the wilds of Ari- zona. 1t must have required good deal of | nerve to get up before Boston audience and endeavor to palm of the utteranoes of these orators fur his own, but the California agitstor seem to have been equal to his task. It is fortunate, however, that it is not diff cult to ellwhere Ingersoll ends and Kearney begins; or where Kearney stops and Fitch takes up the strain.
