THE NAVAJO INDIANS.

The most industrious and thrifty tribe of Indians in America are the Navajos, whose reservation occupies a portion of the northwestern section of New Mexico and northeastern section of Arizona, and has an area of S,544 square miles, or 15,49S, ,16O acres. It is mostly rugged and barren coun- try but large part of 1t we'll adapted for grazing. By their, frugality and industry they have accumulated con- siderable wealth, which is mostly in sheep, horses and cattle. Their great est revenue is derived from the wool crop, which is immense and most of which finds its way to the markets of the East. The manufacture of blan- kets has grown to be large industry, and blankets of all textures are made, from the very fnest--such as the one now on exhibition hereto the coarse and cheap article. However very few of the finer qualities fare now made as the labor entailed in their man. ufacture is very great, and the profits on the cheaper blankets are larger They are undoubtedly the wealthiest community in America. It is said they are making rapid strides towards civilization. They have a splendid school at Fort Defiance, pre- sided over by Miss Hawley, lady of culture and refinement. The Navajo children are apt students and are mak- ing commendable progress.
 Many of the Navajo people profess christianity, while some do not believe in the existence of God. The rites of baptism and marriage are conducted with elaborate ceremonies. Baptism is performed by the leading doctor or prophet, and water, salt and corn flour are used in its administration. The marriage of a young man to his first wife is an affair of importance, and the ceremony is of three days dura- tion. The acquisition of other wives thereafter is simply matter of barter, the price paid for each being from ten to fifteen good horses, though in some instances as high as twenty-five have been paid for a desirable helpmeet. The Navajos are increasing rapidly, the census of 1880 placed the popula- tion of the reservation at 16O0O, but it is now claimed that they number 10000 or more. They are self-sup- : porting and have been fer many wears,

TO MY FRIENDS.

Some time since, at the solicitation of many friends of both parties, l con, sented to become candidate for elec- ton to the Territorial Council. Since making the announcement my health has become so impaired, that, by ad vice of my physician, am compelled to make temporary change of resi- dence and expect to leave Globe by the first of October. Under such cir cumstances it will be impossible for me to make canvass in the coming campaign, as Tn all probability l will not return until the first of January. 1 however desire it understood that do not propose to sever my connection with Globe, as all my interests are here and 1 have an abiding faith in the future of our town and camp and shall always remain a co-worker for the best interests of our County and Territory. Thanking you for the con- fidence you have reposed in me,
 l am your servant,

AN EXPLANATION.

We are in receipt of a communica' tioh from Pinal, signed by Jesse B Hayes, claiming that we dld him in justice in the account of the robbery of Tom Buchanan at Silver King, pub lished in our last weeks issue, and af' firming that the statements therein made refecting on him were false. Il is not our wish to do Mir. Hayes an injury, and in justice to him we cheer. fully reproduce portion of his letter it being to long to publish in its en- tirety:
 You say that there was no evidence before Judge Benson except the state ment of Buchanan and the denials ot the defendants? This is false. Besides Mir. Buchanan's there was the testi- money of Clark Galloway and Tim T. Hearn for plaintiff, and a lot more had been subpenaed by him and were present in the court room but the district attorney refused to let them testify as they would only load Mir. Buchanan's testimony further down. It is not true that the defendants denied anything. We were accused on the oath of Mir. Buchanan and dis charged on the same persons testimo- ny, without any defense on the part of Brandon or myself on motion to dismiss for want of evidence" Mir. Hayes further states that he had no interest whatever in Brandon's saloon and that he had worked for the King & Mowry Mining Companies until he received an injury which disabled him.

On Monday the town of Pinal was again visited by cloud burst, but happily, though the flow of water was great, no material damage, was done. On the east side of the mountain from Bloody Tanks the fall of rain was equally heavy. Middleton represents that flood of unusual volume swept past his place. The toll road over the Final mountain also suffered, but not to serious extent. The rain seems to have been general, thoroughly wet ting the ground for several inches. Globe received share.
