ArIzond m Boston AoaJ1.

A former resident of Florence, sign ed R. F. S., has given the Boston
 Journal of Commerce a communica-
 tion column and half in length.
 which, taken as whole, is a very
 good article. We quote the following
 But Arizona today is not to be con-
 sidered in the light of a wilderness.
 Already have wonders been worked in
 developing the great natural resources
 of the Territory. There are several
 and prosperous towns: Yuma, on the
 western boundary, from which an inn mense amount of freight is received and forwarded by the Colorado river steamers, the Southern Pacific Rail road and large wagon trains, both in and out of the Territory; Prescott, the capital and headquarters of the mill tary in the northwest, in the pineries, and the centre of several rich mining districts; Phenix, in the central DOT
 lon, largely interested in merchan- dising, and the centre of rich and extensive agricultural belt; Florence, in the south, the location of the Land offices and the proposed Mint, situated in the fertile valley of the Gila, and the outlet for the rich mineral pro- ducts of the Pinal, Owl Head, Saca- ton, Santa Catalina and Superstition mountains Tucson, in the southeast. located in the most favored and best known portion of the Territory, noted for the remarkable traditions connect ed with its early history and for the ruins of ancient structures, of which the famous San Xavier church is an instance, the proposed centre of a net work of projected Tailroad enterprises, and doing an immense trade to the ex tent of millions of pounds of freight with southeastern Arizona. Sonora, New Mexico and other points. and the centre of the wonderful min eral belt comprising over sixty dis tricts, embracing the Santa Ritas, Tombstone, Patagonia, Aztec, Tyndall, Arivaca, Dragon, and several other ex- traOrdinarily rich mineral districts, and outlet for the products of theI beautiful and fertile Santa Cruz valley. | There are also numerous towns of minor importance, but these are thel principal points in the Territory at present Busy mining camps are found | in every direction, and the noise of the reduction of the precious metals at the mills IS constantly heard.

The Silver Nugget.

The incorporation of the Silver Nugget Mining Company under the laws of the State of New York, has already been noticed in these col. umns. This, we believe, is the first company for silver mining that has been incorporated under the laws of that State. The men at the head of this company are very prominent both in influence and capital. This corpor- ation is receiving extensive editorial comment in many of our most influen- tial and wide circulating journals, and the attention of mining men will be directed to Arizona with greater effect than ever before.
 Speaking of this company the New York Mining Record says: "The Board, it will be seen, is an exception ally strong one, and it is fortunate for the future of mining enterprises in the Territory that look to this city for it's capital, that it is so. The progress of the company will. b. viewed with much interest, and if it is as success ful as it promises to be, there is little doubt that Arizona mines will herein after be warmly supported by New York capitalists.

From Pima District.

T. J. Rusk, Esq. was in town today
 from his mines in Pima District. The
 Esperanza and Tinaja are the names
 of the claims in which he is interested, and are located on the Sierritas, about mile and half from the Tinaia or Tank. These are old mines which were worked about 100 years ago. There are three old shafts on the lodges, and two cuts, one 60 feet long and another 75 feet long, the latter being IA feet deep at the foot wall. The present owners have run a new cut across the ledge, beginning about eleven feet outside of the foot wall. They are now thirty-two feet in the vein and are still eleven feet from the hanging wall. Mir Rusk also informs us that they have bonded these claims for sixty day for the sum of $i5,OO0. The average assay of twelve feet of ore in the ledge is s115.27. Two orI three new discoveries have been made in the same locality, one by Mr. Rusk and another by James McElliott & Co. Shafts ten or twelve feet deep have been sunk on each of these and the prospects are very good. The orei body in these new locations is about three feet wide.

The Tiger Mine.

Mir. J. H. Helm, General Superin- tendent of the Tiger mine, arrived in town last evening from the Bradshaw and in a short interview with him we elicited from him the following in re- gard to that celebrated ore deposit and the work being carried on for its development. The company have about
 1OO men employed, portion of whom are at work in the old shaft taking out ore while others are sinking a new prospect shaft and putting up the new mill. Good ore continues to come out of the mine at the 400 foot level and large quantities are now waiting treat ment in the new mill which will be completed and running by the 18th of May. The new prospect shaft is be- ing sunk steadily and the wOrkmen are now under the ground 130 feet. This shaft will be run down nine hun dred feet deep, when they will run al tunnel east about seventy-five feet to- the lead. The Tiger is undergoing al more thorough prospecting. probably, than any mine in the Territory and the rich chlOrides that show them selves on the approach of each bucket of ore as it comes from the dark re- cesses, 400 feet beneath the surface, to the light of day, certainly justitieS the large expenditures the stockholders have been and are still making on this

The Indian Commissioners Opinion.

WASHINGTON, April 9.-The Con- missioner of Indian Affairs says, with reference to the habeas corpus case at Omaha, where a writ has been served upon General Crook, commanding him to show cause why he holds Standing Bear and other POnca Indians as pris- oners, that the United States District Attorney has been directed to appear for the United States, and endeavor to have the writ dismissed. He takes the ground that, under the law. and ac- cording to repeated decisions of the Supreme Court, the Indians stand as wards of the Government as minors are to their parents or guardians; that the law forbids them to make con- tracts, and such contracts, if made by them, are void. No attorney has the right to or can appear for an Indian, until authorized to do so by the In dian Department. A full statement of the views of the Department, in view of this Ponca question, is being pre- pared.

Ho |! for ArIzonaI :

We know that Arizona generally, and Tucson in particular, is attracting much attention on the outside" but we did not realize the extent of this excitement until we read the follow ing which appeared in the Los Angeles Star of April 9:
 "There is no such word as fail , among our irrepresible miners" and this was exemplified yesterday by our coming in contact with an hOmbre who was wheeling a barrow along the road in the outskirts of the city. An old, dilapidated hat crowned his cabeza, his boots were at least No. los, with the pants tucked inside, and flannel shirt and a pair of dingaree panta- looms completed his outfit. A couple of pairs of blankets, a frying pan and coffee pot snugly slowed in the barrow, with side of bacon, a sack of flour, and a handkerchief filled with sugar, coffee, salt, etc, was all his load. We accOsted the stranger, who said he came from Ventura two days before and was bound to Tucson, Arizona, We suggested that he had long trip before him-the road was sandy-wa- ter long distances apart-the weather was hot He said: "Stranger, have been in Montana and Idaho when it was freezing. 1 have seen it blow so hard in Nevada that they had to chain the houses down. Now, do you think I am going to be frightened at little hot weather: No, sir. 1 started to Tucson with my outfit, and if it don't suit me, 1 will push along to New Mexico or Texas" We bade him goodbye and he wended his way.

4 Chapter.

The vicissitudes of fortune are quite forcibly exemplified in a brief story told us yesterday. At the station of Texas Hill, in Arizona, a short time ago, NIT. G. w. Chapman, mail messen- ger between this city and the end of the track, met former acquaintance, in a somewhat dilapidated and dis tressed appearing condition. Sub sequent condolences revealed to MT. Chapman that his friend had partly prepared for prospecting tour, but owing to some misunderstanding the persons who had agreed to put up the necessary coin did not fulfill their part of the contract, and he was in dire need of money. MT. Chapman for the sake of auld lang syne, gave his friend fifty dollars. He had almost forgotten that his friend had promised him a third of the result of his discoveries for his kindness, when he was made the recipient of something like $500 as the first installment of some odd that will shortly fall to him as his portion. The act done in simple kindness was a most singular verifica- ton of the injunction least your bread upon the waters" etc.-Los Angeles Star, April 10.

This is what the "A. D. O." has to say about it:
 CAMP MCDOWELL, April 8.
 To Col. MARTIN, A. A. G., Prescott
 The commanding officer at Camp Mcdowell is directed to order Can't Rafferty, with his company. to a point near old Camp Grant, reporting for instructions to Col. Compton, who asks for Overton to command Co. A, Indian scouts. The General has au- thorized Compton to order him for temporary duty only. A dispatch re- ceived last night from Col. Compton. who had returned to Apache from Me Millenville, where he went to meet General Hammond on the 4th. says matters at San Carlos were then not alarming, but reports that it will not do to cease precautionary measures, as the country outside is more excited than the agency, from which the talk eminates. General Hammond has no means of communicating with the In dians except through agency inter- preters. Lieut.. Howard is sent to him and others are on the way. He has not yet received orders from Washington to disarm the Indians. It looks as if there would be no trouble, provided the Indians are not disturbed.
 HASKELL, A. D. C.
 And these are our comments:
 So then, just as we said at first, there has been nothing alarming at San Carlos" as far as heard from. The excitement is "On the Outsiden (Pres colt for instance) and mot at the agency" But it will not do to cease precautionary measures;' very well then don't cease. A little fresh air and exercise will do our warriors good. " Precautionary measures " form a part of military duty and General Wilcox deserves credit for his late action, but the fact that this is the first instance within our knowledge where any elaborate precautionary meas ures" have been taken, is what causesI so much excitement Ion the outside "I It is quite aB unusual thing to see the troops rushing hither and thitherI guarding against possible" danger, but we heartily commend them and our citizens upon this new departure in military affairs.
 General Hammond has no meansl of communicating with the Indians except through agency interpreters. Lieut.. Howard has been sent to him and others are on the way" We guess we don't know just what this means. In former days agency interpreters were the best means possible for com with the Indians, but things may have changed A Lieu tenant or two would help the matter out, of course.
 He has not yet received orders from Washington to disarm the In dians." And we are very much mis- taken if he ever receives any other order that to use his own discretion, which he is doubtless at liberty to do now.
 Ut looks as if there would be no trouble, provided the Indians are not disturbed" Which means that the In dians will not leave the reserve unless driven off, an opinion we have enter tained for several years.

Justice for Indians.

It seems as though the much-abused Indian is finally to have some of his rights vindicated before the |. S Courts, and it is hoped that cruel in, justice will receive a fitting judgment The telegraph says that some time ago number of POnca Indians, who had been living in Indian Territory fled from their homes to the Omaha res ervation on account of an epidemic which broke out amongst them. Act ing under orders from Washington, Gen. Crook arrested the Indians and held them prisoners at Fort Omaha. On application of some one in Omaha who thought the action of the author ities was without warrant, a writ of habeas corpus was yesterday granted by Judge Dunday, directed to Gen. Crook, commanding him to explain why he holds the Indians prisoners. At the time of their arrest they were on the Omaha reservation farming, and they say that had committed no crime. have not lived on the Govern ment, but have supported themselves. Leading lawyers of Nebraska have volunteered their services for the In dians. The legal fraternity regard it the most important case in the Unit ed States Court since the Dred Scott decision, and think the result, if sue cessful, will force a change in theI Governments Indian policy.

Whipping an Editor.

The Prescott papers have been very quiet on the subject of the recent bat tie in the editorial sanctum of the Miner. They simply mentioned fight, a cry of murder &c., but nothing def mite as to the cause or result. The latest" is from the Enterprise of the 11th inst. which contains the follow ing:
 The indignant community" who was whaled by the editor of our con- temporary a day or two ago has pre- ferred a charge of mayhem against that gentleman, and the examination is set for tomorrow at ? o'clock a. m. The complaining witness lost a piece of his ear and one of his fingers will be of no use to him for some time to come.
