CRITTESDEN.
Some News Prom Lively Railroad Camp.
 The Prospects.

From Captain John Smith, of Critten- den, who was in town yesterday, the fol- lowing items were gathered in relation to his vicinity.
 The railroad company have siIty-five men at wQrk constructing a hundred foot bridge across the Sonoita river fourteen miles below Critteuden. This IS thrown across to avoid quick-sands. The men are taken down every morning, and brought back in the evening. This Is done to avoid the sickness arising from the malaria that infects the river bottoms.
 Richardson < Co. are doing well in agricultural matters. Their barley has been cut and threshed, and they have had full crop. The corn IS looking well. They have nice orchard of sev- eral hundred trees five or SIX years old that bear splendidly.
 Captain Smith himself took up a quarter section last fall, which he will proceed to improve. The Captain thinks there IS more money to be made in stock-raising then anything else. This industry IS receiving considerable atten- tion Tn the Sonoita valley. The stock men as fast as their means allow are introducing thorough bred. cattle to cross with the common stock, and find 1t a great improvement.
 Water Is plenty everywhere. A well has been sunk just below the section house, and water found at depth of 73 feet.
 Crittenden gives promise of becoming q town. At present 1t has a store and postoffice, two restaurants, one black smith shop, two saloons, one sectIon house, depot, two residences and near by Mexican camp. It IS distributing point for Hsrshaw, Red Rock, La Noria. Washington Camp, San Rafael, Santa Rita and Gringoria.
 There is about l50 people in and around the place at present, and are all busy.
 The postoffice did business of $50 for the last quarter.
 The CITIZEN has a wide circulation in Crittenden and vicinity, more copies be ing received at the postOffice than any other paper, and is greatly appreciated l for its telegrsphic news, and the inter est 1t manifests for that section.

Freighting 10 Globe.

There IS considerable difference in fig ures, as much as one hundred per cent, given by freighters between Wilcox and Globe as to the amount of freight trans ported At minimum figure the mat ter is about as follows: Last year there were at least two hundred teams on the road. with an average capacity of eight tons apiece, which averaged one trip per month. For this they received two cents per pound for transportation. About half of them would return with half load of bullion at three-quarters of a cent. This would make ID the neighborhood of S772,0 that was paid out last year to the freighters for the transportation of freight and bullion be- tween WillcoI and Globe. Other hg- ures run thls amount up into the mil lions, but this IS Q minimum.

The Apaches in Sonora

The following is B summary of Apache doin ;s in Sonora, as gathered iron Fl Fronterizo. A correspondent from Bsvispe says, under date of July II:
 "Day after day we hear of Apache dep relations in this neighborhoOd. Within the short period of few days one hun dred and fifty cattle have been stolen, and by to-day's mail We have news of them killing seven men, the 9th and 7th instants."
 Another letter from Fronteras says, under date of July 12th: Our troubles seem to have no end Tn this unfortunate country. The savsges will let us alone for about a month or so, while they go on their murderous expeditions to Chi huahus. This week they attacked party, killing three persons at the same tune. They attacked another party near Los Charcos, killing two men. A squad of infantry returned yesterday They did not succeed iu overtaking three h. dlans, well mounted. who were coming directly from Arizona towards the Sierra -heuIc- 4ueht same solultrS saw The track of large herd of cattle that the Indians stole and were taking to the Sierra MRdre.'
 Another letter, from Moctezuma, dated July 10th. says: Apache depre- dations are repeated here frequently. Last week seven men were killed near Iepachi, and also stole large lot of cat tie. We learn from reliable authority that these Indians are from Arizona lt IS time that the American Govern ment should stop these Indians from making any more invasions to our Ter ritory, and that the press and persons of influence should intercede in our behalf to put a stop to so many losses, which We deplore."
 Another letter from Oposura, dated July l5, read as follows: "The Indians who promised to go to General CrooA, have not done so, but contlnue depreda- ting. On she 7th instant they killed two men who were going to Tepachi with a cargo of wheat, and little further, near Batuc, they killed three more, and fur ahead on the road to Granados, they kill led two more"

4 Beautiful Cave.

About a week ago Walk. Williams and Joe Russell, while sinking a shaft upon their Cave mine, on the eastern slope of Copper Queen hill, in Bisbee, at depth of about thirty feet, broke in upon an opening, the extent of which was not fully known until day before yesterday, when hole large enough to admit a man was made. Rocks had been thrown down, and from the resOund 1t was eyl- dent the opening was of considerable extent but 1t was not until a man wIth lighted candles had been lowered by a rope to distance of fifty feet that the full extent of the wonderful place was discovered. With lighted candles he explored the cave, rivaling in grandeur that of Aladdin, with the difference that instead of precious stones, our BIsbee cave was literally hung with stalactites of copper stain, while from the bottom of the cave uprose stalRgmltss of the same material, caused by thousands of years of trickling water through the overlying limestone. On all sides were found great deposits of copper earbonates, Tn plates appearing like green velvet, The greenish reflection from all sides appearing ghostlIke, but grand Our explorer wandered about over car bonate beds and made rough estimate of the extent of the cave to be fully two acres, the helght of the ceiling being in places fifty feet, with copper, copper everywhere. Smaller openings of simi- lar character have been found in the Copper Queen mine, but the eye of man has never beheld any approach this es copper cave. It IS not to be wondered at that Bisbee IS greatly excited over this wonderful discovery, the intrinsic value of which can hardly be estimated. Tombstone Epitaph.

Crook Captured.

Senator Barnett Gibbs returned last night from his trip to Mexico. In an interview with the Herald he says: He was surprised at what he saw and heard concerning the late Indian campaign in the southwest. He wen. into the valley and country that was lately overrun by the Apsches and visit ed the scenes of Gen. Crooks late opera tions He says the residents of those valleys laugh at the newspapers &C., counts made by Gen. Crook. They say that instead of Crook capturing the h. disns, they captured him. He did take in but few old Indians and squsws. when be started out of the mountains. The bucks. about eighty in number, fol- lowed and overlook him, and sent in messages who asked for pow-wow. This was granted and the warriors came in and in boldest way told General Crook that he would be allowed to leave on the condition that he would promise to get the government to permit them to return to the reservation without punishment. This he promised, because he couldn't help himself

SULPHUR SPRING VALLEY.
The Live Stock BusIness-OStraKes of
 Cowboys.

The Live Stock BusIness-OstraEes of
 Cowboys.
 Mir. Thomas Steele, of Croton springs. Sulphur Spring valley, is in Tucson. Mir. Steele is engaged in the live stock business. His cattle are wholly of the native breeds, never having tried the crossing of thoroughbreds, but intends to do SO in the immediate future. He settled at Croton springs in 1871, and is the oldest resident of the valley. When General Crooks captives were returning from the Sierra Madre last month they camped one night at his place.
 In answer to the inquiries ofs CITIZEN reporter as to the number of captives, he said he did not know. His only source of information WAS from the pack CTS, and their stories were contradictory. Some said there were 250, others 450 MT. Steele himself could not distinguish the csptives from the scouts. The pack CTS agreed, however, that there were not over twelve or fifteen captive bucks, the remainder all being squRws and pspOo- ses. The scouts had plenty of money. The packers affirmed that they had be- tween S4,OO0 and S5,0O0 in cash with them.
 They purchased several head of horses of MT. Steele and paid him good prices. The two sons of Judge McComas, of Silver City, drove out that day from Wilcox, expecting to find their little brolhor Charlie, but they did not.
 Mir. Steele further sad that the stock men were suffering greatly from depre- dations of cowboys. Hardly a week passed but what depredations of some kind were committed. Yesterday morn- ing before he left home three Mexicsns came by with some horses they had stolen from Fort Thomas. They were heading for the Golden Rule quartz mill, and were not out of sight before two Americans came along in hot pur- sult. MT. Steele did not learn the outcome, as he left his ranch for Tue son B few minutes afterwards. Both sides were well armed. Four or five days sgo several horses were stolen by cowboys at Wilcox. The owner traced them to DrsgOon summit, and there came upon the party. They advised him to return, and he accepted the advice.

Clifton COrrespOndence.

CLIFTON, July 22
 After tedious journey through burn ing timber and little water, have ar rived at this place, from St. Johns, Apa- che county, and will give you little knowledge in regard to the camp. It is fast increasing ID size and is likely to become permanent. Between the mines and town there are about four thousand persons, with the largest proportion of certain class of operatives your cor respondent ever saw in California in its best days. Their style however, differs materially. These pets of society are everlsstingly begging money to buy thrsshing machine and go back to Kan sas and purchase farm.
 A modern palace, erected by Under wood < Co. is the centre of attraction for the entire camp. This building is 160I3O feet. The entire length of the bar is one hundred feet The remainder being occupied for theatrical purposes, with a full view of the performers the entire length of the house. The i'm mense display of lights with a well selected lot of pictures makes sn Arizo- na prospector think he Is ss near heaven as he ever will be. On the left hand side of the theater are three private boxes, which have been fitted up with damssk and lace curtains intended for those that can afford them. Performances will be open nightly. The barroom beggers description. Here all games are indulged Tn, but not those contrary to law. Your correspondent counted twelve tables, with their owners busy at work, and not less than three hundred lockers on. In connection with the bar is tbe restaurant on the Thorn principle, which has some person always eating. This house IS the head quarters for the Tucson people. The visitors are chiefly sporting men. The managers are very polite, and please all.
 The smelter IS always running. There are about one hundred white miners at work and the mines are doing well. The Chinese railroad laborers will soon leave with the railroad as it moves on.

An unsuccessful attempt at stealing was made in the Yuma Exchange on last Wednesday. Two emigrant passengers were taking a drink in the above place but the one who was to pay for the liquor was too much intoxicated to get the change out of his-purse. His companion went to his assistance, but in returning the purse he absent-mindedly put it ID hls own pocket instead of where 1t be- longed. Mir. Werninger saw the trick and made the would-be thief disgorge Yuma Sentinel.

\ New Thing

Something new in the labor market occurred last week, viz: Chinese shoe makers declining to fill places vacated by white strikers, the refusal being based on a desire to keep up the price at labor. This IS the first time such thing has Oc- cured in California. It is the result of the stOppage of Chinese immigration and Of the healthy condition of business. There wlll soon be but slight difference between the price of white and Chinese labor and long before the ten years re strictlon has come to an end, the Chi nese now in the country will have been assimilsted and will cut no separate fig ure in the labor market. This, Of course, will be the case only provided the re stnctive lines are sternly maintained and all efforts at Washington to relax them be firmly and energetIcally met The inducement for manufacturers and other large employers to import cheap labor will, within the next few years be very great; but they must not be allowed to yield to it. There will always be enough white men to do the work of the country and by and by there may be more than can find work Let us keep all the room We can for them.-Ex.

The children are employing their time during vacation in catching June bugs. These insects are much larger and more beautiful than bugs of the same name elsewhere. Their wings have an elegant plush green color, while their bodies are of q color resembling the most beautl- fully polished green enamel, that sparkles like sn emerald gem of the deepest hue. The bug is perfectly harm less. It has large. fierce-looking hairy mouth, with cunning little red tongue that comes out when the bug gets mad. They afford the little ones sn inexhRust- ible supply of amusement, who carry them around tied to strings.
