Just as we go to press rumOr reaches us that there has been a terrible Indian outbreak at Fort Apache. The report says that the entire Post has been massa- cred, besides about ten civilians. Fort Apache was under the com- mand of Lieutenant-C Colonel Carr, and it is said that he and 6 other officers are among the slain, as we'll as 65 soldiers, Another re port says that tbe above is simply a rumor; but that there is serious ground for apprehension is evi- d ent from the fact that Colonel Smith. of Fl. Yuma, has been or deled not to leave for Benicia at present.

On Saturday morning one of Ynma'S prominent citizens was called across the River. Jesse Schultz was for years a resident Oi Yuma and was accounted among her best residents. His funeral took place from his late residence on Wednesday after noon. By the kindness of W. ] .. Hopkins we are able to give a brief sketch of his life. In his death Arizona has lost a valua ble pioneer and Yuma an inf1uent tial citizen.
 Jesse Shultz was born in 1924, in the State of New York, but while quite young he emigra'ed with his parents to Illinois. His father dying the care of his Wid- owed mother and sisters devOIved upon him and his brothers. At the call for volunteers for the Mexican war, he responded, and fought under Gen. z. Taylor in a regiment commanded by Col. Con Morrison He was in the battles of the Rio Grande, Mon terey, Buena Vista, and many minor engagements. Upon re- ceiving his honorable discharge he returned to Illinois, and again engaged in farming and stock raising. Upon the discovery of gold in California he and two of his brothers, in 1049, in company with others, brought a large nun Der of beef cattle across the plains. After mining some time success fully he engaged in the business of driving cattle from the eastern States to California. This buSi- ness he pursued many years, making several trips to and from the east, but with his headquar- ters at Grass Valley, Nevada county, California. Here also he engaged in the butchering busi- ness. Reverses coming upon him he, in the year 1873, came to Ari- zOna, by way of San Diego. This trip was also taken with a view to the improvementof his health which he had impaired by eX posture and close attention to bus mess. Since his advent in this Territory he has been actively engaged in business, and has been noted for his driving energy. He was possessed of the kinde-t of feelings, and in his days of affiu- ence gave unOStentatiOIsiy, with a liberal hand. He filled the office of Supervisor of Yuma county
 with honor and dignity.
 The deceased leaves a brother in Caseyville, H.. and a sister near NicOIaus, California.

Myers District.

Mir. A. Caldwell, Superintendent of the Gunsight Miuing Company's works, passed through Yuma the present week, from a visit to San Bernardino, and from him we learn some interesting facts con- corning Myers District. The isolation and distance from railroad lines has pre- vented us from getting regular communi- cation from this district, and we are glad of this opportunity to give it an authentic report. MT. Caldwell speaks in favorable terms of the "Gunsight;" and and the Philadelphia Company, who are the principal owners in this district, have every confidence in their investments here. In the recent work of developing the Gunsight mine, the "Silver Girt" ledge has been struck, cropping large body of ore. the ledge being here twenty feet wide. Preparations have been made for having all necessary machinery for these mines, to arrive at Gila Bend at an early day.
 r The Gunsight mine was first discovered by Messrs. Ward, Myers, Lockhart and Mansfield, in the Fall of 1878, and was immediately following by the locations of the Silver Girt, Morning Star, Eastern, Western, Mineral Bed and Crescent. The locators at once made shipments Cf ore from the Gunsight mine to San l Francisco, which yielded net profit of S7OO from 800 pounds of rocd. All of 1 the above mines constitute what is known as the Gunsigbt Group, in the Sierra de la Esperanza, Myers District.
 In 1879 Messrs. B. F. Bivens, of ! California and s. P. Ely, of Michigan, i purchased all of the above interests for the sume of S65,OOO, and since then grad ual developments have been going on. The Gunsight shaft strikes the Silver Glrt at depth of 200 feet, when the rich body of ore was found. There IS already an the dumps more than 1000 tons of hlgh- grade milling ore, more than sufficient ! to erect a first-class mill.
 In few more weeks we expect to sec this district on its onward progress, and in full development. Like Silver District, it has been slow but nevertheless remarkably sure, as both of these districts are being built upon their own real merits.
 All the mines in Myers District are fav. ored with every advantage and facility which mining districts should have as there is an abundance of both wood and water and that. too, easy of access. MT. Bivers is daily expected to arrive from the east, when work will be commenced in good earnest. The mines of L. J. F, Yaeger, which have been mentioned ill the most favorable terms by persons who have visited them, are in this district. and have already been negotiated for by Eastern capitalists. We shall he happy at all times to give our readers all the inning and local news of this rich dis trict.
 Mir. Caldwell is well known as a thor oughly practical miner, as he was form. erlY an old comstOck miner, agent and superintendent of the once famous ''Raymond and Ely" at Pioche, and alsC under Lloyd Tevis superintendent of tht Monte Richard" mill and mine Amadol county, California. His company place full reliance in his judgment.

port now holds up as the miners Elysium. But even if we could see nothing more inconsistent than the foregoing extracts, we might accept as sincere the warn- ing against the investment of capital in Arizona; but another fact stares us in the face, and we think the Stock Report is also painfully aware of it. The mines in Arizona are being developed as legitimate property, from which a revenue is to be derived by actual working; but NOT FOR STOCK JOBBING PURPOSES. This is what the Stock Report evi> dently objects to. This is the bone that sticks in its throat; and as it cani.Ot swallow the bone, its efforts to cough It up are painful to witness. The very evident motive in these articles quoted will be sufficient to disarm them, and the $ tock Report will have to adhere more closely to
 truth and fairness if it wants a respectful hearing. Even then it need not hope to accomplish the impossible feat of diverting capital from so lucrative field as the mines of Arizona promise.

More About the Lewiston swindler.

The Lewiston journal says it is now thought
that Chaltrain's Indebtedness will foot up
$4,000, and that he carried off $30Oo Blake,
Jones & Co.'S goods are in the store but they
can't touch them. The creditors have left the
settlement of the case in the hands OF j.
Crockett of this city, whose claim is the heav-
lest. Besides unsecured bills amounting to
S2,4OO, Mr.. Crockett has a claim of $500
against the firm, on which he is secured by
second mortgage on two small houses on LIN
coin street. Mr.. Crockett estimates that the
creditors will realize about 20 per cent The
stock will be sold as soon as possible, perhap s
to some one of the creditors who may make
the others an offer and get what he can out OF
It,
The Journal says no special attempt ma
seemingly been made to secure Chaltrain. No
officer or detective has been employed. 1t has
not been ascertained with assurance at what
time he left that city His wife has been in
tsryiewed by nearly all the leading creditors
Chaltrain left an unusually large supply OF
provisions in his house. Mrs. Chaltrain claims
that she had no knowledge of his purpose and
is not aware of his present or prospective
whereabouts. She states that he left the
house at o'clock last Saturday morning say
ing he was going to Portland and she has not
since seen nor heard from him. 1t has not been
demonstrated as yet that Chaltrain has left
Lewiston. The case begins to SAVIOR of mys-
terry. 1t is only known that he and several
tho usand dollars are not where they should be.
The most strongly fortified theory seems to
be that Chaltrain has gone to Canada. where
he has friends.
