TERRITORIAL NOTES.

son, and the other parties recently indicted by the grand jury have retained the entire bar of the coun- ty, except the district attorney. Times: Es-kim-i-sin, a semi-civ- ilized Apache chief, and several bucks-members of his family have been in town several days past for the alleged purpose of locating homesteads on the public domain.
 Southwestern Stockman: S. w. Pomeroy, ex-chairman of the board of supervisors of Graham county, who was indicted for bribery, was tried and acquitted, the jury return ing 8 verdict of not guilty by in- struction of the court, without leaving the box.
 Mohave Miner: An exchange says that the ties, rails and rolling stock of the railroad between Mari copa and Phoenix have been con- tracted for, and the bridges are be- ing built, and that the road will undoubtedly be built within a very short time.
 Pinal County Record: The ar- engagements have all been made for a frst-class duel to take place at Saxe's We'll, about 30 miles south of Casa Grande. The principals are both we'll known miners of Casa Grande district, and both have made their wills. The trouble be- tween the two arose over some mining property and is of long standing.
 Tucson Times: The amount of surveyed land now open for settle ment in the Gila and Salt river valleys does not appear on the re- cords, but upon cursory exami- nation of the plats there appears to be over a million and a half acres subject to entry in said valleys, be- ginning at the White Mountain h. dian reservation on the Salt river, and at the junction of the San Pedro and Gila rivers and extend ing to the Colorado river.
 Citizen: Arizona has suffered, New Mexico is now suffering, and Arizona will ere long be called upon to suffer again. The hostile Chiri- cahuas on the one hand, General Crooks policy on the other, the former that burn our homes and massacre our people, and the latter that made these things possible. The one filling to overfowing our cup of sorrow, the other of shame. Between the two the best interests ~- of the frontier are being ridden to death.
 Citizen: It has been decided to remove the shops of the Sonora railroad from fever infested Guay- mas to health restoring Nogalles. To do this the consent of the Mex ican government was sought and obtained. Orders have already been issued to residents on the railroad south of the line to move houses and baggage elsewhere by the 12th instant. This evident Iy means business and a boom for Nogalles. The headquarters and offices of the company will, how ever, probably remain Tn Guaymas unless the consent of the Mexican can be had for their removal to Nogalles also, which should certainly be done.
 Pinal County Record: Mir. Geo. thinks he has lost between 100 and 150 head of cattle within he past three months by cattle thieves. This is a serious loss and when the business of stealing cat ;le goes so far as to be carried on in his wholesale manner, it is about ,ime for the authorities and our ;attlemen to take some action in he matter. Mr. Marlow thinks rom what he can learn that the thieves only made two hauls to get his number of cattle, also that the cattle were driven toward the Gila 'iver and probably crossed it below Florence few miles. He did not miss the cattle for several days and
