 had their property destroyed by the
 Indians should get their claims 1T
 proper shape and file them in the
 Interior Department.
 Kingman Tribune: There was shipped from this point to eastern
 smelters during the past month 217 tons of ore. This is decided i'm
 provement over former months, as
 the shipments for July and August
 had fallen off to almost nothing. Tucson Times: The first ship
 ment of twelve bars of bullion
 from the bonanza mines at Quijotas
 was turned over to Wells, Fargo &
 Co.'s agent, R. H. Smith, at five
 o'clock, in the afternoon of the 1st
 inst. The average weight of the
 bars is one hundred pounds, and
 there is more to follow.
 Prescott Journal: Some time
 since three horses were stolen at or
 near Phoenix, the thieves in posses
 sion of them heading for this coun-
 ty. Sheriff Mulvenon was notified
 by the Maricopa county officials
 and requested to be on the lookout for them. He struck their trail and followed them to near Kingman, arresting the thieves and recovering the stolen horses. He presented a bill to the Maricopa county author ities, but the Board of Supervisors there refused to allow it, refusing to pay even for the board of the pris- oners while in jail here, awaiting the arrival of the Maricopa officials.
 Prescott Courier: It is rumored that Indians who recently returned from Mexico, killed a man on Blue River, which is about 280 miles east of Prescott. At least this is what dispatch from Col. Mark Eagan, to Gov. Tritle states. Act ing upon this information, the Gov ernor, with his adjutant, go to AL buquerque to consult with Gov. Ross. Gen. Crook tells people of southwestern New Mexico and east ern Arizona to be on the look out. Gov. Tritle finds that he has no funds to defray expenses of the militia, but some companies will be placed in the field anyway. While reiterating the advice of General Crook, for people to look out, the Courier is rather pleased to be told that the Indians have come back from Mexico, for, if such be the case, Crook will very soon recon struct the sons of guns. If there are other Indians who want to break out, let them do so now, so that our people can make busi- ness of fighting and killing the red scoundrels.
 Clifton Clarion: Tom Welch, who was severely wounded by the Indians, when they left the reserva- ton in May, and narrowly escaped with his life, arrived in Clifton Fri day from his ranch on the Blue, and reported that w. k. Raspberry, a miner and ranchman who lived about 65 miles northwest of Cliff ton, had been killed by Indians on the 18th. Frank Manning, who lives about one mile above Rasp- Oerry's ranch, took breakfast with him the morning he was shot, and reports that after breakfast Rasp- berry left the house with a rope to catch his horse. In short time one shot was heard, and looking around he (Manning) discovered i've or six bucks and two squaws, He fled to the house for protection, and was fired on but not injured. The Indians left going east. Rasp- perry was shot in the mouth and death was instantaneous. Manning immediately went to the ranch of Tom Welch, and securing the as- sistance of the latter, returned and buried the body near where 1t fell, when both came into Clifton with ,he sad intelligence.
