TUCSON, Oct. 12th.-Reports from
Sonoita say: The locating engineers
of the Atchison, Topeka and Santa
Fe Railroad are now here In charge
of Mr.. Eldri6ge. Mr.. Starrett has
been appointed resident engineer,
with headquarters at Benson. A
division engineer will in the fu-
ture be stationed at this place. 1t
will take about Is days for the To-.
Gators to reach this place. The
railroad has been located along the
bluff, up Barbacomari creek.
From Calabasas the report says: j.
H. Hampson, engineer, with a sur
veying party, arrived here Monday
mig ht and have laid out the A. I.
& s. F. to that point. The contract
is made to have the rails laid to
that point by the first of February
next. Ex-Gov. Luis e. Torres, of
Sonora, is here. He is one OF the
nirootnra thu Rail-
road and will leave tomorrow
morning for Boston, to confer with
the officers of the road. He says
that Mr.. q .mora, Inspector of Pub
lie Works, will recommend the
building of the Magdalena route,
and that the leading people of the
State of Sonora are much interest.
ed in the building of railroads. He
thinks the Apaches will soon be
driven from Sonora. as the Mexi-
can troops better understand how
to fight them aud will soon worry
them back into Arizona, and that
they Will soon run short of patent
cartridges, which will force them
to return for new supply.
Reports from the cattle ranges
south of Tucson say that two Mex
'can herders were killed Tuesday
and that IL mounted Indians were
seen in the vicluity of Sanford's
ranch.
Respecting the opio ions of the
press of Arizona on the Indian out
break, it is not, as reported, con-
d .mnatory of the military. The
Epitoph and Nugget OF Tombstone,
the Citizen, of Tucson, and the En-
terprise, of Florence, conde mn
both the military and the Indis n
Agent of San Carlos as the cause
of the outbreak. The SitUer Bet,
of Globe, censures the military, but
upholds Agent Tiffany. The Star.
of Tucson, holds that the outbreak
was but the inevitable result of the
reservation system, and that
the agent was remiss in pa
rolling hostile Indians when
once captured. AS to the military,
it claims that it has not lost a
single point in the game, and has
done the hardest marching on rec.
ord, and driven the Indians closer
and demOraliZed them more than
ever before known in Arizona.
These views are sustained by all
old Arizonans. 1t claims nothing
but concentrations are due Gen.
Wilcox for the conduct of the
campaign. The Miner and Demo-
crat, OF Prescott, sustain the efh-
cient work of the military, and
condemn the Indian reservation
system. The Phoenix Herald is
neutral, but denounces the reserva.
ton sy stem. The Phoenix Gazette
says: "Foo much credit caunot De
given Geu. Wilcox for this happy
consummation of that which, at
one time, threatened to be q most
dire calamity. We should not,
however, forget also that the honor
should be, in great measure,
shared with the officers of the De-
partment." The Yuma Sentinel
does not In any way condemn the
military, but does the Indian agen-
cy regime. The Yuma Free Press
says: Seen. Wilcox grasped the
situation Immediately, and at once
proceeded to execution. The re.
suit has been virtual closing of
the Indian war in the subjugation
of the hostiles. This result has
been mainly due to the good judy
ment of the commanding General,
and the rnpidity with which he
massed his forces. There cannot
be too much praise rendered Gen.
Wilcox for the manner in which
he is conducting the campaign"
The Globe Chronicle says the cause
of the Indian outbreak Is due to
the Encouragement of the agent,
and com mends the military man
agement of the campaign. This
shows whether the Tucson Star is
the only journal which does not
condemn the action of the military
and agent Tiffany,
The Arizona Journal, published
here by F. P. Thompson, was to-
day sold to l.. Z,ckendorf & Co.
1t will be organized into a joint
stock company, and be continued
for while by the corporation.

WILCOX, Oct. 12th.-Reports
from Bernard, dated Guadalupe
Cshon, October 9th, ssys: The In.
dian trail leads into the Guada
lupe mountains. The Indians

suit Of the hostiIes. A great many
of his cavalry horses broke down
