The Min3r has earnestly presented the Indian situation north of Prescott to General Wilcox for his consideration.

Our interests in l life, stock and all material advancements demand it. The Navajos can place 2,500 warriors in the field inside of forty-eight hours, and if they should so elect to do, | how Is the government going to check | them?

We have information direct from the front, and learn that the end of the track is several miles west of Hol- brook, on the Little Colorado, and is pro- gressing rapidly in this, the westerly di-
 rection. The company have steel rails at
 Bacon Springs sufficient to extend the
 road 100 miles, and their arrangements
