The following statement is from the Salt River Herald, but it seems to be reliable
 A decd from P. W. Smith, w. ". Jones and A. II. Peoples, of Wickenberg, to John Howard Smith, of Alameda County, Cal ifornia, was filed for record last Tuesday, conveying the Chief of Arizona Quartz Mining claim, and an undivided one-half interest in O06 feet known as the Resur- rection Gold Quartz claim, both on the Vulture lode, also large lot of machinery and a quantity of ore. Consideration S202, 300, being S100,000 for each of the former gentlemen and $2,500 for A. II. Peoples.
 Mir. J. II. Smith is relative and agent of the celebrated Erwin Davis, so that the size of the figures given is no bar to the credibility of the statement; and the mine is worth the money. Water is to be de- livered at the mlne, in pipes, by pump ing engine located on the Hassyampa, and the ores are to be crushed at the mine by new and large mills. Heretofore the ores have been hauled from ten to fourteen miles, thus making it profitable to crush only the richer ones. The mine itself looks like an immense quarry, from any part of which samples can be taken that average from $1200 per ton upwards this will pay well to crush on the ground. Dr. Jones and Mr. J. II. Smith passed here last Tuesday, en route to San Francisco. We have not heard whether the old Vul- turc mill, of forty stamps, was included in tAc trade, perhaps not

A prospectus is passing around among the Globe miners soliciting their support ill the formation of company to purchase a mill lying idle at Silver City. It is proposed to put the mill up in Globe, and work the ore for twenty-five dollars per ton, or concentrate it for ten dollars, charging no percentage, and giving the miners all there is in the rock.-Florencc Citizen.

THE Steamer Coquille, from Guaymas and other Mexican ports, is due at the mouth of the Colorado August 26th. A stage will leave here on the 23d, to take passengers for her return trip. So far the Coquille is said to have done very we'll and to have more than earned her expenses If this has been done on her first trips, it is certain that lucrative trade will be developed by her. She is very stiff boat, rolling less than most of the steamers on the coast. There are some reports that she will be withdrawn from the Mexican trade, but these have probably grown out of other reports that her owners are about replace her with larger steamer

The Yuma Indian Scare.
Exchanges Please Notice.l


 The damage done to Yuma, and to Arizona, by the late Indian Scare" here, can hardly be esti- mated. A fewchOice spirits have chuckled over theIr drinks, and have had a chance to say " Aint we raised hell?n as newspapers come in from all parts of the United States, reproducing the Murderous plot to massacre the whites at Yuma," that was fabri- cated for sensational purposes by those reckless men. While hard working men are making every effort to induce capital to invest in our mines and to invite settlers to occupy our lands, few foot loose fellows have raised the very hue-and-cry that, of all others, is best calculated to defeat those ends. The scare has served its political purpose, and IS enjoyed by its oFiginators as a good joke. For them it is now all over; but Yuma County and Arizona will feel its bad effects for a long time to come. It is easier to tear down than it is to build up. It has taken years to make all Arizona truly safe from Indians, and to make men of capital and men of families realize that it IS so, and to give them confidence in our Territory; it only took few hours tO destroy that confidence by a story that the wires have carried all over the country and that few men will have the facili- ties or inclination for inveStiga- ting. This may be "Smart," but it is neither patriotic nor honest
 We respectfully ask editors to consider this matter, and to help repair the damage done to Ari- zona by their publication of press dispatches based upon a menda- cious rumOr. The Indians along the Colorado River were thorough ly whipped and coWed more than twenty years ago, and have never since made a single hostile de- monStration. Hungry Indians have stolen food; vicious ones have stolen other things; and drunken ones have taken life: but vicious and drunken white men have done the same thing here to a greater extent. These river Indians hunt nothing larger than rabbits; they have very few firearms. The Whites very greatly OutnumbGr them and, as on every frontier, are well armed. The Indians have long known these facts, and too well to even contemplate an uprising. So many of them have been to Los Angeles and other large cities of California, that they all know the power and strength of the Whites. All of them around here have ridden on the cars, and all of them on the Colorado know how quickly the railroad could bring men enough here to oeXterminate them.
 We speak more particularly for the southwestern part of Arizona; other Territorial papers can speak for their sections as they may be prompted by conscience and knowledge. The time has gone by for raising Indian Scares, and crying for troops; quartz mills and gang-plOWS bring more profit to the country than do army con- tracts and cavalry horses. Ari- zona needs miners and farmers more than she wants soldiers.

Mr.. EDIToR.-We see by the report of the
last meeting of the Alderman and Council
that the committee of conference couldn't con-
cur. The majority would not recommend the
appointment of a committee who could offer
recon mendations aud to the subject matter
not the school-house-falls to the ground. The
luminous ideas OF two or three officials who
handle the leading strings are to be carried out
against the wishes of some 800 or more Of the
most influential citizens aud largest taxpayers
of wards and z.
These gentlemen-the officials possibly four
in number who control the votes of the balance
say in effect to their petitioners:
You the resident of wards and Z, although
large property holders and taxpayers know
ing thoroughly the condition of the Bracket
street School House, having suffered, through
your children, from the foul stenches and
poorly ventilated rooms until compelled to
withdraw them from the school-cdnnOt haze
any better school accommodations unless yon
agree to accept our opinions as your own, and
forthwith admit that the old school house
ought not to be taken down, and to adopt as
your own the pet hobby of one of our latest
members, who has no children that we are
aware OF, that city property must be exchanged
at any sacrifice for a new lot wherein we may
erect such building as we, three or four mag
mates, think fit and proper.
The thing is simply ridiculous, that the
wishes and petitions of hundreds of our be st
citizens are to be disreguarded and the lives of
our children sacrificed to crafty the whims of
few individuals who have no personal interest
in the matter unless it is of political nature.
IL certainly appears that having once taken
given position in the matter they are bound
to adhere to it, right or wrong; which if fact
is certainly not particularly creditable to them.
We hope to see this matter kept before the
Aldermen and Council until certain members
are brought to the consciousness that they are
placed in their positions to serve the will of the
people, not their own personal preferences.

The Glorious Fourih.

The chairman of the Fourth of July COM
mittee said yesterday that a small appropria-
ton could be obtained and thera would be
ringing of the bells morning. noon and night.
the firing of a national salute and music by
the two bands, and they would let that 60 for
the celebration of the nations birth.
Mr.. EDToR:-From the above remarks we
are led to infer that another anniversary of
our national independence is to be ''celebrat-
ed'' in the same miserable manner that has
characterized the day in this city for the past
few years. Is the financial condition of our
city 10 such a deplorable state that a few humid
red dollars cannot be financially invested in
honoring this great day and at the same time
contributing to the pleasure of our suburban
neighbors who add very materially to the bust
ness interests of Portland. AS the principal
city in Maine it is expected of as. For the
few hundred dollar expended By the CITY,
thousands of dollars would ultimately find
their way into our merchants pockets and in
the end. if not directly, indirectly the city
funds would be Benefited. We trust that if
the city government persists in this "economi-
cal side show" that some of our citizens will
take the matter in hand and by subscriptions
collected from our merchants be enabled to
provide suitable celebration that will reflect
credit to our business enterprise aud do honor
to the day. Hoping you will find space in your
paper for these remarks,
remain, yours truly,
