 News comes to the Miner from Clii-
 ford .S NtcCormick's camp, on tEs line of tEo Atl.-..c and Pacific railroad, Co sLe effect that on Tuesday ught Gespe rate character made fight, rounding two
 men. fortunately killing neither The guilty party Vas arrested, aGd l' BOW eE route to the county !aIi. Shooting IS to0
 frequent by all odds on the Atlantic and
 Pacific line, and vigorous measures will have to be resorted to in order to cheek
 it. We never counsel violent or nasty action, but as the emergency presents lt- self, we say let there be a Itl!e wholesale
 hanging O; lad characters.
 On Monday of this week a Elan named Baker. in the employ of the Atlantic x Pacific railroad tracE-layiuS party, three miles west of Holbrook, the then end cf ] track, found Navajo Indian upon his horse, which he had lost sometime picU- [ ous, was exasperated and killed tue in-
 dian. This opened the avenue flrG zen e-al engagement. when two more iuG.a'.i were killed. \ Mrs. Berge, wiih her children, who were at the end of the track, were immediately sent out tO Brigham City. When she lsit the fight ing was going on and the contest was ! hot This VIII probably be the means of l bringing the whole Navajo nation iutOit, and a general war k possible. The | Navajos are the most formidable Indian ! tribe in America.
 They are wealthy in stock, provisions ] r N | ammunition. The Miner has earn 1 estly presented the Indian situation north Of Prescott to General Willcox for 1 his consideration. We have asked for more troops, and whether this present { fight brings a general war or not, we want the army reinforced in Northern Arizona all the same. Our interests in | life, stock and all material advance
 meuts demand it. The Navajos can ! place 2JO0 warriors in the field iusiGe Ol ! forty-eicht hours, and fl they should so ielect to do, how is the Government going [ to check them? The urgent necessity of 1 the case demands immediate action. | Protection Is wanted and the United ! States must furnish 1t.
 We acknowledge a call this morning | from NIT. Joseph G. HeneZsey, of Phiia- | delphia, President of the Arizona Con- | sOlidated Mill and Mining Company, | whose property Is situate Il Turkey | Creek District. Mir HeneZScy iS father | to our friend Samuel A. Henezsey, who | proposes to do something for this section | in the way of building a branch railroad ! from Prescott to the Atlantic and Pacific | line. Mir. Henezsey will remain in the | interest of the company of which he is q To- fa : in December, during which time he will
 iuaugurate active operations, SD that
 this valuable property niay be put on a | paying basis. We are pleased to meet | Mr. H., and welcome him to this section We have information direct from the | front, and learn that the end of the track 1 is several miles west of HolbroOk, on the | Little Colorado, and is progressing rap ! idly in this, the westerly, direction. ] The company have steel rails at Bacon [ Springs sufficient tO extend tEc road loo miles, and their arrangements are such | that there will be no lack Of rails for the ! entire road Co San Francisco. The track ] laying force, if not interrupted by h. 1 dians, will build to Brigham City, 3O
 miles, in 3O days After the cars reach ! the latter point 1t will certainly be the
 most desirable route for persons living in northern Arizona to follow in going east. Freight can also be brought iu from that direction to better advantage than via the southern route.

 mines in the Territory, but its manage
 mcut heretofore has been disgrace.
