not eat quite as many meaquite beans as Indians did, but they ate many times more pumpkin-seeds.
 CottOborating circumstantial evidence can be adduced by the bushel; conversations, retnarks, etc., made before and after the occurrence. But the foregoing facts were all proven by the posi- tion of the bodies; stage. horses tracks, etc.; and they are enUugh to convince any fefettink man; acquainted with tndiafis' passion for horse-meat, leather, clothing and ammunition, that the Wick4 enburg massacre was perpetrated by one or more Americans assisted by Mexieens.

Effects of Emancipation .

Bevisiting the scenes of his war expert ence, Col. Higginson finds 8 marked i'm provement in the social and physical con- dition of the blacks. The negroes now sleep in beds where formerly they slept on the floor. The cabin in old times had no tables, and families rarely ate together, but now they generally have family meals. Pictures from illustrated papers adOrn the walls, and the children's school books are seen on the shelf: Col. Higginson met but one of his black command who complained of poverty, and he earned good wages, but having no wife or children to support, was given to whisky. Most of his old soldiers had a comfortable homestead with from five to two hundred acres of land. Many were highly prosperous.

Catfsh for the Colorado.

Last month a shipment was made to Yuma of young catfish from Sacramento, but the party in whose charge they were to have come here failed to receive them at LathrOp. They werej therefore, turned into a slough near Stockton. These fish are bred by Jacob Hoehn, near Sac ramento, and are furnished on orders from B. B. Bedding, Gen. eral Land Agent of the Southern Pacific Railroad Co. This con- pany has done much to stock the rivers of this coast with valuable fish, for which it is entitled to much credit. Capt. Polhamhs, Superintendent here of the Steam boat Company, has now an order  for 1000 more young catfish, which will be brought down here at the first good opportunity. They need constant attention while ell route. Every half hour, or as often as the fish consistently come to the surface, the water must be dipped up and poured back from some height. In fall ing the water becomes aerated, and recovers the fixed air which has been breathed out of it by the fish. They have been carried in thls way, alive, to Australia. The water should be changed whenever convenient, and it's temperature should be kept down by ice, though not allowed to get too cold. Catfish thrive so well in the Missouri, Mississippi, and other muddy rivers, that they are sure to find congenial homes here in the Colorado.

WE are in receipt of copy each of four daily papers published at Fort Worth, Texas, the terminus of the mail route from Yuma. They bear date of June 29th and July 1st, the day they were mailed. They reached Yuma on the 25th of July, although the schedule mail time is seven- teen days. This fact shows how scrhpu- lously the new contractors are performing the service, only eight days behind time is doing very well for contractors who own Territorial Delegates. Its support of four daily papers gives some idea of the growth of Fort Worth, the western termi- nus of Tom Scott's railroad, and town of only few years existence.

EXCELLENT grapes are being brought ia for sale from Hanlon's Ferry; seven miles below Yuma. The vines grow finely and produce largely. The warm, balmy air of the desert ripens the fruit to per Ions by quailsj which eat the fruit, select ing the ripest. It IS a good place to go for morning ride; quail on toast, and grapes fresh from the vine, make no bad breakfast, even III Arizona.

THE mysterious disappearance is rtl- inbred of H. Warren, of the Chatticup mine; Fl Dorado Canon. He rassed through Yuma June 25th with Si4,00O in silver bullion, the thirty days product of the El Dorado quartz mill, He very par ticularly desired that the SENTINEL stculd make no mention of the bullion: He also begged that his name should not be writ ten upon his sleeping ear ticket to San Francisco. He was last heard from at Iathrop. RumCrs are aioat that his con- nection with that bullion has not been satisfactory to other parties interested in it; but we get no positive statements from persons who alone must know the facts.

IT is often asked why the lead ores of
 Castle Dome are not smelte9 at the steam
 boat landing, instead of being shipped to
 San Francisco. The answer is plain to any one understanding the business and this country. These ores only carry from g to 45 ounces of silver per ton, tonsh- qbently they would not pay to work for silver alone. They occur in a gangue of fuorate of lime, whose value as a Aux is such tiiat the spar alone commands $f5 t6 sS0 per ton in New York. They are so rich in lead, and so absolutely free from antitiony and arsenic, that they have a higher falus at San Francisco for huxlng other ores than they have for being stielt- ca by themselves on the Colorado liver. 4 stnelting furnace was erected here and bars of lead bullion were made. But as the ore turned out in bullion twb-thirds of its weight, and the bullion had to be ship ped for market anyhow, it is plain that only one-third of the freight was saved say S375 per ton. It costs about that much more per ton to smelt out here with charcSal and frontier disadvantages, than it docs in sdn Francisco with st6ne-coal ard all facilities. Again; the price of base bullionj psr p6thu for it's lead and per ounce fer it's silver, increases very much in proportion to it's richness in the latter For instancei while only 45 or 50 cents per Cunce may be allowed for silver in base bullion containing only 20 or 30 ounces of it per ton, 90 cents per ounce may be al lowed on bullion carrying several hun dred ounces per ten. Smelting at Castle Dome Landing would pay if rich silver ores could be bought there 10 mix with the lead ores. This can not be done, be- cause miners prefer selling their silver ores in large markets-to advertise their mines and to guard against being swim dlea in santplings and assays.

 MASSACRE.
Its True Story.

sacre to Indians. The effect O doing this was thought to be t oh eek humanitarian feeling to ward Indians that was fast grow ing up in the Eastern States; ant to give Arizona more troops ant a larger money expenditure fol army purposes. Army officers contractors, and all citizens wh( professed to have at heatt the welfare of this Territory; joined in preventing publications or ever discussion, of such facts as tended to show that Indians had nothing whatever to do with it. But there were men who arrived early al the scene of the tragedy, obser. want and qualified to draw cor. rect conclusions, who thought then, and still think, that the murder and robbery were planned and committed by Americans and MeXicans.
 The passengers were young Loring, Tribune correspondent, and a large, stout man; whose name we have lost, both just from Lieut.. Wheeler's expedition; Sal omon, also a typographical man on the same expedition; Shoholm, a jeWeIer of Prescott; c. $. Adams, clerk for Richard & Co.,; Kruger, Clerk of the Chief Quartermaster of the Department of Arizona; and Mollie Shepard, who was re- puted to have amassed much money as a courtezan at Prescott. The coming of the two latter had been freely talked about at Wick enburg, and it was generally be- lieved that Kruger would bring thirty or forty thousand dollars of military funds, and that the wo- man would have at least fifteen thousand, besides jewelry.
 When the stage left Wicken- burg, about 9 A. M., Adams and Loring were on the outside; Sal= omon, Kruger and Mollie were inside on the back seat, Shoholm and the big man were on the front seat. It was November 5th, 1871, and the weather being cold the curtains were all down. The in- side passengers had spread a shawl on their laps and were play ing freeze-Out for a silver watch. When going up a wash, about seven miles westerly from Wick enburg,. the stage was attacked from the right, or north side. Adams and Loring were shot off, and fell into the road John Lenz, the driver, was shot through one arm, which dropped one string of reins and caused the team to swing into a gulch and clear around into the wash again, facing back toward Wickenburg. Mean while Lenz had fallen off, dead from other wounds. ShChOlm and the big man were shot in the back through the front of the stage, and were found dead, fallen for ward into the middle part of it. Solomon jumped out and ran about fifty rods, but was pursued and killed. Kruger and Mollie jumped out next the bank of the gulch, and, apparently not reali- zing that the stage was turned around, ran behind 1t and con- tinued running west and away from Wickenburg; this saved their lives. The position of the stage, the smoke and the inequal- ities of the ground concealed their flight, while pursuit of Solomon absorbed the attention of the muir derers. Kruger was wounded slightly when the stage was fired into, and Mollie was accidentally shot through the left forearm while getting out. The wagon was completely riddled with bull

 without passengers. Nelson, the
 driver, gave them water, tied his
 team to the wagon, left them
 with 1t, and, mounting d saddle
 horse he was leading behind the
 wagon, rode to the Vulture mine.
 There he told the story, got cUm- pany, and reached the Wicken-
 burg stage office at about 9 p. M.,
 with the first news of the murder.
 A crowd was at once faised of horsemen and armed men in wagons and sent out. Adams and Loring were found by the road; John Lenz further on, Shoholm and the big man in the stage; Solomon was found next day. No baggage had been opened ex. cept that of Kruger and MOllie Shepard, which was marked with their names. The mail-bags had been cut; the letters were opened by having their ends torn off and were strewn by the road. No clothing had been carried off, nor had blankets; parti=cOlored rugs nor gay shawls; these were un- tohched. The weapons were all carried of except one pistol which was found under the drivers cushionj but ammunition was left in the wagon. No harness wa. cut, nor was any strap or leather carried of. The off leader was dead, shot through the shoulder; the other three horses were un- harnessed and turned loose with their collars on, and afterward te- covered; one of them was found near Wick6nburg that night, and drew stages over the same road for a long time afterward. The har- nesses were found taken off and stacked up on the lead-bars and double-trees, just as if it had been done by some old hostler. The bodies were brought into Wicken- burg and buried. The baggage was turned over to a Justices but was all claimed by and delivered to Col. O'Byrne, commanding Camp Date Creek. Kruger and Mollie were also taken to Date Creek for care and treatment. It was afterwards stated that pro- perty from the massacre was found in possession of some of the peace-professing Indians at Date Creek; but this statement was never verified. The only articles ever identified were some pieces Of jewelry given to a Mexican woman by man who was soon after killed at Phoenix.
 The tracks of the attacking party were all made by t1occasinS. Mollie declared she caught sight Of nine men, all clad in army over- coats, but that she could not tell whether they were 1ndians or not. Kruger used to tell about how they pursued him up the wash, and how he kept them at bay by presenting his pistol with ctie hand while he supported Mollie's fainting form with the other arm. Kruger says they were Indians; that he saw them. They certainly did not see him, for the perpetra- tors of such awful crime would not have let escape them an un= armed woman and young man armed with only one pistol. In- dians would have killed them at long rifle range, for fun; Whites would have done it for their own safety. No tracks had followed theirs up the wash. The husks of mezduite beans were found in eXcrement of some of the nlur= derers. This fact was dwelt upon as proof that Indians had com- mitted the crime. An observant man soaked some of the dry eXcre- ment, washed the husks carefully, examined them, and found them to be those of pumpkin-Seeds.
