Movements of the Hostiles.


 WE are in receipt of eight let ters from different sections of the country relative to the band of In dians which last week raided the Gila valley. From these we are enabled to summarize the move ments of the hostiles as follows:
 They numbered but ten bucks and were first heard of near Dem ing, N. NJ, about November 10th, when Yeater and wife were mur- dered. Ne next hear of them Nov. 17th on the San Francisco River about thirty miles north of Clifton, where they raided the ranches of the Butcher boys and stole their stock. Thence they proceeded to the Reservation where they had fight on the 24th with the White Mountains, killing about 20 bucks and a few squaws and papooses. They then took the main road to Thomas crossing the Gila river on Saturday the 18th at a point known as the Apache cross ing. Here they met and killed the boy Walter Clark and stole four horses from q teamster named Graham. On Sunday the 29th they raided the ranches near Black Rock about ' miles from Fort Thomas, wounded Bill Johnson, sacked Storey's and McGinnes's ranches. At the latter place they took their revenge for not meet ing any one whom they could kill by pushing q new six hundred dol lar englne used for pumping water into the well. Sunday night they raided Bear Springs ranch and killed old man McAllister who was the only one present. On Mon day the 30th they raided Kleyen- stauber's ranch near Stafford and Monday night, Layton and Solo knoxville, securing in the whole raid of the valley about 30 head of the best horses. On Tuesday morning they had a skirmish with the persuing party from Solomon vile, killing the Wright brothers and Tuesday night camped at Walnut Springs a few miles from the Gila river. Wednesday morn ing they raided the Coronado ranch and killed Dick Mays. They they then took trail in the direc ton of the Coal Camp Bince which time nothing has been heard of them. It is more than probable however that they will be next heard of in New Mexico commit ting depredatlons as usual.
 This is their record up to tune of gong to press, and if there are any enthusiastic sentimentalists left in the East who still believe in the innate goodness of Poor To, we would beg them to peruse this tale of blood and horror which is but actual history all of which can be substantiated by trustworthy living witnesses. The blindest admirer of the aborigines will have to admit that the people of Arizona are right when they lift up their voices and demand the utter extermination of these heart. less fends.

BY ORDER OF COLONEL BRADLEY:
 James Torrance, First Lieut.. and Adiutant 18th Infantry Acting Assistant Adiutant General.

Miss Maude Wester of Los An geles, Cal, who has been for some tune engaged in instructing the young and tender minds at one of our well known pioneer Arizona homes, that of Mrs. 5 B. York, paid our town a visit on Sunday last and made a number of ac- quaintances during her short stay. Miss Wester is a young lady of Southern birth and has that hearty, frank, social disposition character istic of her countrywomen. She is possessed of very fine musical and literary ability and we are much pleased to hear that she pur- poses to favor our people with a Concert and Literary entertain ment to be given on the evening of the 23rd inst; a most fitting commencement to our holiday sea son.
 Miss Wester is deeply interested in the intellectal and spiritual ad- vancement of the little folks and to this end intends setting apart a portion of the proceeds of the evenings entertainment for the Sabbath School. The programme will be interspersed with selections by some of our leading local anna teurs and as it is seldom that our people are favored with such se- lect entertainments, we bespeak for Miss Wester and all concerned a crowded house.

Sabfnai- MfNfco. Items. We are indebted to Mir. J. H. Vaughn for the following extracts from letter received by him trom Mir. Frank Griffin who lately left here for the new mining strike in Mexico:
 STEVENS CAMP, MEXICO, Nov. 18th, 1885.
 Smith and myself came by the overland burro route via Separ, ton the $. P. R. R. 21 miles East of Lordsburg) thence to Eureka Mesquite Springs, Ascension and Chincharries, the latter being about eight miles from this camp and the watering place for the camps scattered within q radius of two or three miles.
 There must be over hundred white men mining and prospect ing here who are dependent upon this point for their water and have to look to the Lord or Deming for anything else. Ore is shipped regularly to Deming, and 1t is not difficult to have freight hauled at reasonable prices, but to properly manage the custom's gentlemen at at Ascension, a person should ac- company his shipments. We brought in two burros fairly load ed, and pad nothing but others arriving here have not been so fortunate. U. $. flour in camp commands Sl0 and SIP per 100, sugar 40 cents per lb., baking powder 100 per h., etc. Fresh meat, mexican beans and coffee are reasonble, but even at Ascen- sion you can scarce find anything to buy at any price.
 The Stevens-B Baker mine con tinues a miniature bonanza, thus far having turned out nearly S25, 900, with several tons sacked on the dump ready for shipment, which belng selected promises to run high. There IS also a consi- derabl9 quantity of second class ore on the dump and plenty in sight below ground. Yet they are not down fifty feet, indeed the work is nearly all in ore.
 Nose Stevens arrived from Dem ing only day before yesterday Al. Stevens is here and has one or two promising locations. Me Crellis, McGraw, McCallum and Coyne reached here last week, also Mr. Parker. Henry Kehoe and Prof. Stowell reached here when we did.
 The Benton Jones-Capt. Frink prospect is still an unsolved pro blem in the camp. However the bold Capt. is now in Deming with some ore. Two other claims are being worked by white owners but not sufficiently to learn whether paying or not. Two or three mines are being worked by Mexi- cans supposed to be good.
 Smith and I are working a contract of a twenty foot shaft for James, who represents himself, Schumann, Casey and Ike Stevens a promising prospect, but as yet, nothing more. We will probably be through this week; shall then prospect so long as 'grub,' lasts. There is no money in labor here, miners commanding only S3 in Mexican currency, which is equi valent to S225 U. $. money, while mexican labor, either mining or otherwise, is not nearly so much.
 A competent person with small assaying outfit could certainly do well here now, but really no per son need come here expecting to pick up money everywhere.
