THE moaUEs.
PAEscorr, Nov i4th, 1873.

The Moques, a tribe of Indians living in Northern Arizona, Bear the line ei Nes Mexico, are described by the Yuma Sentinel as sorshippers of the rattless-ksi thai they participate in the rattiesnaks dsaee and handle these animals with that thought less indifference as though they were the mos, harmless little pets to be found 10 tne land, from the fact that they possess tas knowledre of an antidote which IS certain cure for the bite of the poisonous reptile
 The account given by the Sentinel is Ao- surd in the extreme, and contains not one particle of reason or truth. The Aoqaes neither worship the rattlesnake, nor do they dance in reverence to the creeping animal or know of any remedy that is aa effective cure for theIr bite; to the contrary they are much more afraid of the egOtatus horT1Idas than are ths Americans, and invariably XII them. The great dance of these Indians is thc n.atackfa, upon which occasions they dress themselves in the most ridiculous manner. Their costumes generally being made up from the hides of foxes, bears, coyotes. deer, antelope, etc. The only thing worshippcd by these red men is the image of calf, gorgeously dressed and decorated with ornaments of gold and sil- yer. We have seen the dance often, and always as above stated. After having com nitted some great wrong, the Mogaes, to pay penance to the Great Father, meet in council, appoint day upon which tie lance shall begin, and for twenty hours they keep step to a hum-drum tune, with cut food or water, when they depart from the dance house with their sins forgiven, free to go forth and steal horse or co" as the case may be.

PERMANENCy OF SILVER MINES.

Of the permanency of silver mines hlstoi } furnishes ample proof. Wherever in any part of the world silver mines have been worked they are worked nov, unles by war, invasiens If Indians, etc, the work has been stopped We know of no silver min ing region in the world that has given out Mexican mines worked by the Azrecs be fore the conquest by Cortez are still as profitable as ever The old Spanish mines opened long before Hannibal's time are still worked with enormous profits. The South American mines have constantly yielded their wealth for mere than one hundred years, and are yet as productive as ever Mines in Hungary that were worked by the Romans bef',re the viour's time still yield an abundance of ore. The silver mines of F'eiburg, worked in the eleventh century and worked continuously ever since, yield their steady increase. So in Norway, Swe- den and Russia, and indeed, wherever mines have been opened, without exception, we believe, they are worked at the present day; and generally are more productive than at any time in their past history.

From Mr. Staples, post trader at Camp Apache,we learn that Capt MacGowsn, with his company of 18th Infantry, has construct. ed one of the very oes, wagon roads in Arizola over the very wort country, viz Between Apache and Thomas, distance st 75 miles, for which service the Captain is entitled to great credit. Seven mile hill, out from Apache, has always been consid- cred aboot the worst point on the rouis' nevertheless giant powder, pick and dnll and the gooe will of Capt. MarGowan's s com pany has made it a perfect turnpike, easy of ascent or descent. Rocky Canyon, an- other almost impossible place, has been so repaired that the heaviest laden wagons pass over the same with ease. A good rsae has been made by the government, and it now belongs to the Territory.

Our remarks of yesterday, headed "Face the Music" seems to have given umbrage to few. It was written after carefu! con. sideration, and facts only dealt with. The remedy was laid down for making Prescott a flourishing town, and the day will come when all will agree that we are right \ little energy displayed will make marked change. As far as the inslnuations of any one that we are ready to pull up and leave, they are false. We have lived here since November, 1864, ana intend to remain righi here and fight it out on this line, and when some of the almighty lovers" of Prescott are gone from our view, we will still ot found here at work. We believe in dealIng with facts and trying to encourage our bus iness men to pull together and make Yava- pals resources talk. Backbiung by some parties will net in the least interfere with our usual nightly repose, and we shall con- tinue to live, work and do for what we con slider tho best portion of Arizona, and that is Prescott and Yavapai County.

Will those who have accused people ID the vicinity of Date creek of having got away with other peoples cattle, be explicit in their chargesl If so, an evil that IS liable 10 lead to trouble may be nipped ID the bud. and section of the Territory whose every citizen was, until lately, ab"ye suspicion in matters of this sort, may, soon again be placed in the same position.
 We copy the aDove from the Arizonan oi Thursday morning, Nov. 18th, for the pur- pose of showing how far some people like to mislead and misrepresens We have not said that "people living in the vicinity of Date Creek, have been getting away with other peoples cattle. We refuohsh just what we sad:
 "The Arizonan hints that some one has beef using the branding iron rather freely o'' the Verde. If this be true and the brand ipg was maliciously and knowingly dote. the name should be given to the public. If a calf was accidentally marked or branded there is no crime attached. Cattle stealInp has been indulged in by other who do moi live or keep stock on the Erde, and it + high tune that something De done to sioi it."
 In explanation we will say that the stock owners around Date creek have miss~d great many cattle and have tracked them in the direction of Rawhide, Mexican town near Signal, and recently delegation from Date creek went 10 Rawhioe and noti- fled the inhabitants that they must 'Iet up" sa stealing cattle or they would be "le' down" by rope from cottonwood limb. We don't want to be misquoted.
