From our correspondent ia the field.
 [ IN CAMP NEAR SAsABE, MAY 3, 1SS2.- The surveyors for the Tucson and Gulf Of California oad have now reached a point little more than sixty miles from Tucson and will, before many weeks be in sight of the Gulf The weather so far this week has been quite favorable and the p rty has made rapid progress Providence in this way seems to have favored them as We ad stretch of more than forty miles between water stations to make, and had the weather been as sultry as it was last week the men would have undoubtedly suffered for water as well as the teams. How ever we have had cool days, the weather sometimes cloudy, and we are now within easy reach of plenty of water and all are in good spirits.
 Forty miles fir m Tucson we laid of depot grounds for the fourth station which was called Sierrita. At the fifty mile pornt Barboquivera station was located and this morning at tine sixty mile point Arivaca station was duly designated. The l st named station is situated on the divide and in the edge of what Is called Sasabe Flat. Here begins the slope of the Gulf and the Iys flatter themselves that 1t being down hill the rest of the way to Port Lobos they will have easy sailing. Ari- vaca station k l2 miles a little south of west of the town Of that name and about [ miles from the Mexico line.
 The country between here and Tucson is as fine as I ever looked upon and the valleys present the appearance of beau tiful green meadows. Vegetation grows very rank aud the range is the finest I have seen in the Territory. While it Is true there is no water fir more than forty miles il, does seem to me that crops would grow where vegetation of all kinds springs mp s' rank.
 Perhaps when railroad and telegraph lines become more plentiful rain visi'a- tions will be more frequent and all these beautiful valleys will be extensively cul- tivated. Why 1t Is that ineNhaustable veins of water cannot be found by dig ging I cannot explain. unless it is be- cause greater efforts have not been made. We yesterday passed place where par ties had sunk q we'll to a depth of l94 feet without striking water.
 Along the line Of our route is some of the finest scenery 10 be found in Arizona, and should the road be built, which is quite probable. it will afford the tourist a view of some interesting scenes.
 A good many members of the party before leaving home provided them selves with blanks for locating mining claims, but our rapid progress has pre- vented them from prospecting aBd do not think many claims will be located on this trip.
 Tomorrow We will go to the Sonora line and await the arrival Of our papers ana additional supplies. JIM.

HE following letter has been re- ceived by Governor Tritle from Mr. H. Lesinsky, owner oi the LongIellow cop per mine at Clifton. The letter shows that the warning of the Governor WAS timely and saved many valuable lives, also the need for company of cavalry 10 guard the lives f people and theIr property in that isolated region:
 CLIFTON, A. T, May ?, 1882. To His Excellency Governor r. A. Tritle. Tue son. \. [
 Sir: Your telegram warming us of the Indian outbreak enabled us to notify the people and many lives and stock were thereby sayed;but the Indians were on Us Def re We could reach out side travellers and pr"spectors. On tue day your dispatch reached h. re, the 2lst uilmo. mIny vllulble lives were lost, among them Capt. John Slawson, of Detroit, Mich, and John Risque of Silver City, \. M, who with three others were killed while looking at some min ing property at Gold Gulch, and within 24 hours % men lost their lives and 20U mules were taken.
 Allow me to call your attention to this part Of the territory and the isolated condition of the farmers on the Gila river. The industries here depend on having the r, ads open-1jO teams are constantly on tie road. Ii the roads are impossible the seven or eight hund- red people wbO work here will be thrown out of employment. Provisions and fuel are freIShted from Lardsburg, and d ssoppaCe such a. the Indian troubles can bring on would prove most disas- trous to this rapidly growing portion of tine territory. I have been requested by the people to write to you urging the matter and request you to use your in- fiuence to keep one company of cavalry on the GIla river. Thls would be sufli- cient to keep the roads open and the works about here from stopping.
 Aside from our own six to seven hund- red persons depending on the works are the Detroit Mining company below us, and the Hydraulic company above us a miles); there are no less than lU00 people about here, but very much scat tered all over the river. The company of cavalry could keep the road open and pass the freight trains and mails from Lordsburg and Silver City. The people will feel grateful if you can in any way aid them. A petition of JOO names could accompany this, but We are urgently in need of the help asked and To time Is to be lost. I have the honor to remain
 Very respectfully,
 HENRY LEsISsKY.
