1t actually seems as if Secretary
Teller had little backbone. If he
will do as it is expected he will in re-
lation to the Texas Pacific land grants
decide adversely-he will make
friends in Arizona. If he will have
the Deer Creek coal fields surveyed of
the Reservation so that the men who
found them can get the benefit of their
labor; and do old Wilcox up in cotton
and lavender, and put him in glass
case in Denver museum, we'll say
plenty of pretty things about him
Ordinarily we do not believe in
eleventh hour repentance, but if Tel
ler rcpents now, he stands good
show to receive absolution.

The Prescott Miner, in its issue of
the 9th inst. has thoughtful and fair
article on the Indian question. We
commend the honest independence and
good sense of its utterahces to its local
contemporaries. There is no honest
journalist in Arizona who will not
endorse the following:
"If he will not assimilate civiliza-
ton he must not be allowed to retard

favor of having every Indian who

In the excitement attendant upon
Crooks wonderful performance-cap-
turing lot of old squaws and do
mating government supplies to the
fighting bucks-the public must not
lose sight of the fact that Wilcox, the
squaw buyer, is still at San Carlos.
The government at Washington seems
to be run upon queer principles. Per.
haps the honest impulses of the party
in power have all been expended upon
the Star route malefactors, and they
have none left for the San Carlos In
dian Agent; if so, we hope they will
get new supply, sufficient at least to
see the necessity for making an exam
nation where charges have been made
by reputable men.

Among the things that hurt mining,
nothing is worse than for storekeep-
er to enter into collusion with a SUI
perintendent to pay ten per cent. on
all orders; unless it is for the same
storekeeper to render bills to COM
pany, which are endorsed by the
superintendent, for goods that have
never been delivered, and in which
the whole of the swag is evenly di.
vided. 1t is worse thieving than tc
hold up coach, and there is no doubt
but what it has been done, and per.
haps in this District. Ignorance and
dishonesty are the twin agencies that
have made mining unpopular.

The New York Worlds Baltimore
correspondent writing of Beirne, the
Virginia duellist, says, "he wore a
grey serge suit of clothes, a low-necked

self dead shot) who would fight a
duel with another who was so near

The county of Humboldt, in Califor-
MIA, has timber reserve larger, it is
claimed, than Michigan, Minnesota
and Wisconsin combined. It is es-
timated at 73,296,OOO,OOO feet. The
timber reserve through which the
Arizona Mineral Belt railroad will
pass, counting only twenty miles on
each side of the road, has not less than
76,s00,000,000 feet. The whole terri
tory occupied by pine timber in Ari-
zona, is not less than $500 square
miles. We get the best idea of the
extent of it by comparison. 1t is as
large as the whole State of New Jcr-
sey, larger than Massachusetts,, nearly
double the size of the State of Connec.
ticut, and more than three times as
large as Delaware.

Dutchey, Warm Spring Indian,
who killed a Norman teamster near
the cattle camp, four miles from the
Agency buildings, in Graham county,
about one year ago, was recently dis
charged from the calaboose, by order
of Gen. Crook. Dutchey is mur-
derer--the proof is unquestioned; and
if Graham county will demand and
indict him, he can be convicted. Gen.
Crook should not be allowed to rise
superior to the law. Dutchey is a
notoriously bad Indiap, and should
not escape. Wilcox, we are informed
does not approve the action of Crook
in regard to the release of Dutchey
He is to be commended for that The

We assert that Gen. Crook did not
fight any battle IN the Sierra Madres;
did not whip any Indians and did not
bring single Chiricahua chief to San
Carlos. Gen. Crook or any of his Off
GERS have our columns. to deny these
assertions in, if they do it over their
own signatures. When they do it, we
will prove what we say by men who
were with him. Who accepts the
challenge?

Gen. Carr, at a Crook banquet, de-
livered himself of an off-hand speech,
in which he saw fit to speak eulogis-
tically of Generals Carleton and West,
which, according to the reported ac-
count in the st. Louis Republican,
elected 'uproarious applause" We
have a recollection how the two men
referred to were regarded by citizens
of Arizona and New Mexico and have
no recollection that their names were
ever favorably mentioned, except by
army contractors. 1t is evident that
Carr did not know them, or the fact
that they licensed gambling tables,
charging one hundred dollars per
month, and then quarreled over a
division of the proceeds. Doubtless
he was also ignorant of the fact that
upon the order of Carleton, West
seized all the grain in the Mesilla val
ley belonging to anchmen, merchants
and families, in the month of Novem-
ber, reducing the people to state Of
starvation, and in the spring follow
ing sold some of this grain to the far
mers for seed at twelve cents per
pound. They not only did this, but
otherwise usurped authority not dele
gated by virtue of their commissions.
They established martial law, impris-
oned U. S. Judges and hanged one,
Judge Knapp, by the wrists to beam
in the guard house, instituted courts,
taking both civil and criminal juris-
diction, when the courts established
by law were open and in the discharge
of their several fun ;tions; and at a
time, too, when both Arizona and
New Mexico had, by Congressional
enactment and proclamation, been
excepted from the category of the re-
bellious districts. Nor is this all, the
laxlty of their morals would be too
indecent to print. The duel, on ac-
count of a woman, which Carleton
avoided by apologizng, and the evil
dence of illicit intercourse left by
West in the Mesilla valley, are well
known to the old citizens of New
Mexico.

The Narrow Gauge railroad scheme
is at last assuming a definite form,
how definite it is impossible to tell.
Thus far no names of directors or Off
GERS have been given to the public.
The promoters Of the enterprise do
not appear to desire the confidence of
the public, as they do not give any.
We have found good deal of fault
with the scheme in its early stages,
for reasons that commend themselves
to the good opinion and Judgment of
every we'll meaning man. To the
building Of a railroad from Tucson to
Globe, or from anywheres else to Globe
we have no objection; the more the
merrier. All we want is square
scheme, handled by reputable men.
Let Tucson build the road; let its OBJ
jective point be Florence, Phenix, or
our own town; but do not let it stop
at the county line of Pinal where the
subsidy stops. We do not accuse the
men who are interested in the Narrow
Gauge Co. of any unfair intention, but
there is money in grading and ironing
a narrow gauge road over level,
desert country (where Mexican labor is
cheap and easily procured) at $4,000
per mile. Our horizon Is not bounded
by tho suburbs of the town we live in
we are Arizonans; and are jealous Of
any scheme that would be reflection
upon our fellows, or that would mill.
tate against the investing of money by
outsiders in square enterprises.

1t is suggested that P. P. Wilcox,

against him. We don't anticipate that
he will 60; he likes, TOO we'll, to stay

1t is eight months since a series of
charges against Agent Wilcox, were
sent to the Interior Department, and
no action has been taken to investigate
them. These charges, were clear, dis
tinct, specific. They covered theft
from the government, theft from the
Indians, violation of Agency rules and
debauching squaws. Our attention
was directed to the failure of the In
terror Department to perform its plain
duty, snd in the interests oftfair play
and good government we took up
the fight, procured the afidavits of
good men covering every charge, sent
them to the proper authorities and
gave them to the public. The charges
were returned without endorsement =

Are they, too, awed by the power o.

possible that they, with proof enough

settlers in Arizona are having theil
lives placed in jeopardy?
