comma nder of the district of Arizo-
 na, General Crook, pursued them
 into Mexico, and compelled the sur
 render of a portion of Ihe hostiles ] who were brought back to the reser-
 vation as prisoners of war Some
 difficulty occurred as to the disposal of these Indians. They were pris>
 oners of war, and surrendered with
 the idea that they would not be pun ished, and would be permitted to re-
 turn to the reservation.
 It does not appe ar to be the duty
 of the Department of the Interior to
 determine whether these offenders should be punished or not. At this
 time they are prisoners of war, Tn
 the hands of the War Department.
 If possible they should be removed
 from the agency to some point where
 there will be less danger of their es- cape, and where their evil influences
 will not be felt by the more peace ably disposed of the tribe.
 SAN CARLOS RESERVATION,
 The San Carlos or White Mount ain Reservation was established November 9, 1871, by executive order, and contains 2,593 GOO acres. The reservation should be carefully surveyed, and such portions as are not needed for support of the Indian should be cut off.
 This reservation is not the proper ty of the Apache Indians residing op it, but it is quite difficult to make the Indians understand that a reser- vation set apart for their nse is no. theirs.
 Since the establishment of this re- servation there have been discover- ed on the exterior parts thoreof both coal and silver mines. The coal mines are located in the southern part and unfit for cultivation. These coal beds were first descover- ed by miners who alleged that they were off the seservation, and still in> sist that such is the case; but sur~ vey by the surveyor general of Ari, zona affords proof of the falsity of this claim. It is however alleged thas the prespectors who first dis covered the coal mines acted in good faith, supposing that such coal fields were off the reservation and expended q good deal of labor in opening them. Thsse coal fields are very valuable, and, as this fuel is very much needed in Arizona, some arrangement should be made by which the public shall have the advantage of such discovery. It is for the President by Ex- scutive order to reduce the reserva- ion, and thus throw the coal fields l put of the reservation, but it is not l thought advisable to do so without | the Indians for the and so taken, for, as before stated, 1t will be difficult to make them un- lerstand that they are not being robbed. Some compensation should | therefore be provided before the land l s sold. If the claims of the pros oectors should be found to be cor 'ect, that is, that they were in igno- 'ance of the boundaries of the res srvation, (the Government having established boundaries), they ought | o be allowed to derive some advan~ age from their work either by be+ ng allowed to purchase at reduced | prices or to lease for term of years.

The Resourses os Ar.zona.

There is rush for this work and 0 commissioner HamIltoa's office is besieged by people from all portions of the valley anxious to send copies to their friends abroad. MT. Hamil- ton has now on his table nearly 300 letters from California alone, mak- ing application for the book. The pu blication cannot fail to be of ia . calculable value to the entire Terri tory. Its exhaustive description of the agricultural resources of Arizona and especially of the Salt River Val> ley, and it's valuable information on the irrigation problem, is sure to att tract attention and bring population to Maricopa county.
 No more comprehensive and at- tractive work of like nature has ever been issned by any State or Territory in the Union. MT. Hamil, ton while doing himself credit, has conferred credit on the Territory; and it is only to be regretted that the Legislature was not more gene- rous III their appropriation. Such work should be kept steadily before the people of the East, and the pub lie money cannot be expended to better advantage. Mir. Hamilton has copyrighted the book, and after the editIcn authorized by the Legis~ lature is exhausted, may issue one on his own account.

President Arthur's Message

WASHINGTON, Dec. 4.-To the Congress of the United States: At the threshhold of your deliberations I congratulate you upon the favor- able aspect of the domestic and foreign affairs of the government, and OUT relations.
 We continue to be on a friendly footing with the Argentine Republic with Belgium, Brazil and Sweden and Norway. No incident has oc- cured which calls for spec1al com ment. The recent opening of new lines of telegraphic communication with Central America ard Brazil permitted the interchange of meso sages with the government of those countries. During the year there have been perfected and proclaimed consular and commercial treaties with Servia and a consular treaty with Reumania. thus efecting in tercourse with the Danube countries while our Eastern relations have been upon wide basis by treaties with Corea, and Madagascar. The new boundary survey treaties with Mexico, and the trades convection and supplementary treaty of ex> tradition with Spain and the con vention extending the duration of the Franco-American claims com mission have also been proclaimed. Notice of the termination of the fisheries article of treaty of Wash ington was duly given to the British government with political privilege and exemptions. The fisheries on the northern coast of the Pacific and Atlantic sides dismissed also pauper immi grafton from Great Britain to this country
 The restriction on our commerce with Cuba and Porto Rico are spok- en of with regret. The claims against the spanish government for action against the Masonic at Mani la and the treaty relations with Switzerland and Bulgaria are dls cussed. In regard to the latter country the President said: I sug- gest that I be given authority to ess tablish an agency and consulate generalship at the Bulgarian caps ital.
 Respecting Mexico, the President said that at no time in our national history has there been need of closer and lasting relations than at present. Provisions for reciprocal crossing of the fronti CT by troops in pursuit of Indians has been prolonged an- other year. The close proximity to Central America justifies consulate generalship at each capital of the several states composed therein. question of terminating or modify~ ing the existence of a reciprocity treaty with Hawaii is now before Congress. The President is con- vinced that the charges of abuse and frauds under the treaty have been exaggerated. In the new sugges> tions of last years message, that the treaty be modified wherever the pros visions were erropeous to legitimate trade between the two countries. Measures had been taken to prevent further violation of the Chinese res- friction laws.

MATTERS have come to strange
 pass in San Francisco and in the
 United States when . gang of Chl,
 nese iehbinders by open threats of
 violence 10 witnesses defeats the
 ends of law in g United States court. It is we'll nigh time that the govern ment of the United States should
 stop and take into more serious con, sideratlon what manner of heather she is harborlng within her borders. One Fon Sing, United States inter preter and the only witness against a squad of fourteen coolie slaves just imported into San Francisco as students" or something of the sort has been openly threatened with death, followed in the streets at mid day that he would not go into the courts to testify and finally turns up missing, and of course the coolies must be admitted no proof of their fraudulent certificates of entry being produceable. When the Chinese of San Francisco are thus able to con trol the courts it is high time that Kearney's battle cry should become the slogan of those citizens of the United States who would see the country governed and justice reach it's ends for more reputable pur- pose that mere clique qualification class advantage or political effect.
