The San, Carlos Reservation h$s
never been made such by CongressioR-
al action, and when the pressing needs
of the people demanded curtailmeht
of its lines, it was always done by PrSs-
idential proclamation. The line has
been altered several times; that on the
south being changed from the channel
of the San Pedro, to fifteen miles north
from it. All of the settlers along the
San Pedro believed themselves outside
of its limits; and Es-kim-in-zin, when
he severed his tribal relations withthe
Apaches moved to the San Pedro, to
be away from them. The preliminary
survey, now in progress, is being made
according to a correspondent of ours
without regard to the later, or fifteen
mile survey, and with what object we
cannot divine, unless to prove, tosome
extent, Mr.. Wilcox's statement that
none of his red wards were off the
Reservation, or to make more sweep
ing the robbery contemplated by
Teller and Wilcox and their friends in
regard to the Deer Creek coal fields
The whole of the Reservation, where
it infringes on the Dripping Springs
range, and all of the country south O.
and including the Deer Greek Goa
fields is of no use to the Indians
There is not any game in it; it is use
less for agricultural purposes, excep
along the San Pedro; and the Indians
do not need that, as they have, on tht
San Carlos and Gila rivers, 1S!OO(
acres, and only cultivate few scantJ
patches. The Secretary of the Int
rior must deal fairly with the mel
whose intestsare affected, or |he vii
have more than Indians to Night il
| Arizona.

Don't let us have any complications
with Mexico, in regard to the Indian
prisoners! Lets give them back to
the Mexicans, they have a better
knack of making good Indians than
we Americans have.

Next to the copper interests which
w,ll be tributary to the A. M. b. road,
the timber offers the greatest source
VI revenue. II is virtually inexhanst-
ible. The main portion Of it is am
l~aced in an = of ie,0Qd 5quare
mAs& ItTa rthwest {oysonth
east. whiss Are detachss bodies
of timbffidis6& ind west, this main
. sodybegins abodt thirty miles north
of the A. & P. rSad,, and runs to and
over the White Mountains. The tim
ber is pine, running, clear Of limbs,
much of it, for a.knndred a feet in
height, and. il is from two to four feet
in diameter. The country in which it
occurssis an, elevated table lard. The
A. NJ. b. road enters it near its upper
end, and ON It's northeastern side, and
passes out Of II At Green Valley, a
hundred mils south. The road comes
down fhe qonto passing the Sierra
Anehas reserves, about 800 square
miles more, and is no time twenty
miles distant from the timber till it
crosses the Salt river on its way to
Globe. The Sierra Anchas timber
can be reached by Stramways, but it
will not bedisturbed during the pres
ent century, on account of the greater
facility for handling what there is
Immediately along the line of the A.
NJ. B. road. The Importance of this
timber to the mining interests of cen.
tral and southern Arizopa- cannot be
overestimated. At present much of
the supply comes from Oregon and
California, and the rapid decimatioY
OF the forests there, and the long
freights are in our favor. The dis
tance from the forests of either Cali
fornia or Oregon to the mining coun-
try in Arizona and western New
Mexico, is at least four times as great
rs from the A. NJ b. roads reserves to
those points. In addition to the tim
Der, the foothills carry great deal Of
pinone, oak and walnut, suitable for
steam and household purposes. Prac-
teal lumbermen will see that our fig
ures are entirely within bounds. In
addition to the timber, the amount OF
hard wood used for house and steam
purposes, all of which would come
from the line Of the railroad, would be
very large and steadily increasing
AS, in making our copper statement
last week, under the head of Railway
Screed, No l" we pointed to our fig
ures as proof that the Arizona Min
eral Belt railroad must prove a paying
investment, so we call attention to the
following figures, with their conser
vatism and easy susceptibility of proc
as an additional reason why the roat
must pay. For the purpose of arriv
ing at some idea of the amount of tim
Der which this road would handle, W,
make the following very conservative
: estimate: 1t runs without a breal
through 100 miles; and it would carr,
all the timber sawn for 20 miles OF
each side, or over an. area of 4,00'
square miles. This would be 2,560,00'
acres. Allowing 20 trees to the acre
and 1,500 feet to the tree, it make
76,S00,0D feet. The Sierra Ancha
timber, easily'reached by tramway i
not included in the estimate.

The New York Mail and Express
says: "A thorough investigation of
Agent Wilcox and his pet Indians
should be had;" and again: "Commis-
sioner Price ought to know by this
time tnat what Mr. Indian Agenrw11
cox knsws and what he says are like
ly to be entirely different things"
And the San Francisco Exchange,
eminently conservative during the
whole Of tie later troubles at San
Carlos, says; "Indian Agent Wilcox
has telegraphed from San Carlos to
the Commissioner of Indian affairs an
advice that the Indians of loco band,
who surrendered should be taken from
the reservation and punished. That
Agent Wilcox should counsel the pun
ishing of any Of his beloved Apaches
will surprise those who know any
thing about his administration Of the
affairs of the San Carlos reservation" J"
Both of these papers are influential,
and above ths~Suspicion of being ac--
tuated by any personal feeling. Mr..
Wilcox, who accused the BELT of be-
ing in with an Indian ring; and the
papers in this Territory which
squeaked shrill treble to his black
guard accompaniment will ei e. long
have reason to know that the only
"ring' in the Territory has for if

Senator David Davis.

According to the correspondent Of
the Cleveland Herald Senator David
Davis is an example of the easy-going
statesman. He never delivers long
speech, and if he delivers one at all it is
short and read from manuscript. It's
often amnsing to watch him as he pre-
sides over the Senate. That great bodies
move more slowly than small ones is a
universal rule. and is no exception in
this case. When the Senator walks it
is simple waddle. He talks slowly.
A day or two ago bill was upon its
passage, but the count of the vote show
ed an absence of the necessary quo
rum. ''The Chair wants some more
votes,' said he, good-humoredly, after
a moment or two, while the Senate was
awaiting the announcement of the vote.
The Senators in the cloak-room were
drummed up, and the necessary quo
rum obtained. He enjoys cigar as well
as any other statesman, and sometimes
after disposing of Havana in the cloak
room he comes out and, selecting va
cant chair next to the central aisle,
draws one nearer from the other side,
upon which to rest his weary feet. And
thus, as much at ease as man can well
be in that position, he blocks up the
aisle. But Judge Davis is universally
respected. The many good deeds Of
charity and little acts of kindness he
does to his fellow man in need are not
always told. More than one poor lad
has felt the hand of the kind old man
stretched out to advice and good cheer
which he heard. Theworld is the gamer
for the life of David Davis.

There is talk of pushing the other indict.

probably amount to nothing. Dorsey
talks of suing all the newspapers that have
called him thief. The press and the
people generally accept the result as inev-
liable without much ind gnation or curios-
ity. A few stalwart organs regard it as a
vindication Of the purity of the star route

however, is that the administrations of

administration ofthc postoffice department

An editorial in the Inter Ocean relative
to the division Of Dakota reads this way:
A delegate in congress can scarcely be
expected to familiarize himself with the
wants and needs of the entire section, for
he cannot get from one portion of his
constituents to another without travelling
through at least three states. The same
difficulty applies to members OF the legis-
lature, and the courts, as we'll as the ter
ritorial officials, and it will be years before
it can be removed The shifting of the
capital from one corner of the settled area
to another does not help the matter, al
though the new location is very near the
geographical center. The citizens of the
northern half have more to do with Min
nesota aud Montana; and the citizens of
the lower half have more to do with Iowa
and Nebraska than with each other. If
the capital of Dakota were at Chicago it
would be more convenient to the southern
tier of counties than to have it at Bis
marck and the inconvenience will increase
as the population multiplicS.

a Washington telegram says that re-
ports received from Dakota land Offices
indicate that all the public lands east of
the Missouri river will be taken up within
a year. This applies, of course, to the
choice agricultural lands, there being
some wet or rough pieces which at pres
ent will be passed by. It is expected that
for the fiscal year, ending June 80, the re-

that fully sixty per cent. OF the public do
main settled during the previous twelve
months was taken in Dakota.
