The Yaquis Ahead.

The Arizona Citizen" learns from parties who have opportunity to reach official facts and figures in Sonora, that the Yaquis achieved 6 brilliant victory over the Mexican troops ip the recent battle on the Yaqui river. The Nogsles Frontier also gives quite an account of the battle, from which it seems that Cajeme divided his band into several parties and approached closely to General Carbo's lines unobseryed. He then made sortie with a small party down the river and after short engagement began a retreat. The troops followed, expecting an easy victory, and they fell into the trap Csjeme had laid for them. At given signal the several Yaqui attachments closed in on the troops and slaughtered them unmercifully; four hundred dead bodies were taken from the field and one hundred and fifty wounded were removed IO NudS ihdo' 4AO equl lOsS Wdo dUOut thirty killed and wounded. Our infor- mant also states that Cajeme has ad- dressed letters to the Governor of Sonora and to the President of Mexico. in which he lays his case before them. He does not want to battle with the troops, but will defend the homes and property of his tribe so long as they are threatened; he has but little hope of successfully resisting the force that Mexico can send against him, and no desire to resist if his people are given guarany that they will not be oppressed so long as they do not trans. gress the laws. It is thought that some compromise or treaty will be made that will satisfy both the government and the Yaquis.

Garden of the World.

Under the above caption the Tucson Citizen" said few days ago that the bot tom lands along the lower Colorado river, from old Fort Yuma, south to where it empties into the Gulf of California, are extensive and very rich. An old-timer, who has been over it times without num- Der, in referring to that section said: "It is the richest land Goo ever made. Why" said he, casting his eyes upward, "hemp- wild hemp-grows twenty feet high down there, and in sufficient quantities to sup ply the entire country with rope and jute
 or grain sacks. The soil is black as Egyptian night. The valley IS from fir. teen to twenty miles wide on the Arizona and Sonora, or eastern side of the river, fornia and Lower California side. Taking it altogether, this rich body of land, through which ihe great Colorado river runs between Yuma and the Gulf of Cali fornia, contains a million and a quarter acres of the richest land in the world, which, with the grazing lands adjacent, would easily support population of 2OO,00O, to say nothing of populous city that would be sure to spring up on the gulf. Of course I mean when the water of the Colorado river is raised out of its bed by comprehensive system oi lrrigatirg canals, beginning at point a few miles below Yuma and extending from eighty to one hundred miles down on the Gulf of Californis-one from either side. These canals would not only fur. nish water for irrigating purposes, but for drinking purposes for man and beast, on ranches and in towns and villages that ] would surely spring up."

The Pacific Coast Press Associa- tion will take its midsummer ex- cursion to Napa Soda Springs and vicinity, leaving San Francisco on the 18th of June, and returning on the 20th. Tickets including all expenses will be SIP. Editors, publishers and accredited re- porters of legitimate recognized publications, with accompanying ladies, are the only parties entitled to tickets. This excursion will no doubt be a very enjoyable adair. We should like to see an "Arizona Press Association" and 1 next Spring invite the Pacific Coast Press Association, (which means the newspaper men of Call ifornia) in an excursion on the Colorado river, either to the mouth of Virgin river, north, or to the mouth of the Colorado, south, where it empties into the Gulf of California. An excursion in either direction from Yuma would be both interesting and in- structive. Let the newspaper men of Arizona promulgate a press association. We should like to see such an organization formed right away-something that is needed for the mutual protection of all legitimate news papers in the Territory. Who'll second the motion.

A Correction,

True to political principles, the Prison Commissioners of this Territory have just filled all the offices down there with sturdy Republican partisans. Twas ever thus.-Prescott Courier.
 The facts are these: The Com- nissioners in their fairness and good judgment did not allow themselves to be controlled by party prejudices and in awarding the contracts for supplies and in se> lecting the officers for the Prison, they acted like honest and square gentlemen in every regard. The officers gre: politically, equally divided-Capt. F. s. Ingalls,, the Superintendent, and Hon. c. H. Brinley, the Secretary, are dyed- in- the-wool Republicans; H. Y. Baldwin, the physician, and M. J. Nujent, the Assistant Superin- tendent, are dyed-in-the-wool Democrats, and the appointments are just right. But we desire to put ia bug" in the ear of our worthy contemporary at Prescott. Listen! The gentlemen who are now the officers of the Prison were not selected because of their political preferences, but because they were efficient, and men suit. ed to the positions. A word for the Commissioners: They are popular because they are wise. honest and true to the interests of the people and the welfare of the Territory at large, and under their administration the Prison will prosper, and by the time their terms will have expired, the Territorial Prison at Yuma, both as to it's management finan> cially and otherwise, and making the necessary improvements thereon, will be something that the people can point to with pride.

The Territory's Finances.

We quote from Edwin H. Hil> ler's Finances of Arizona. as fol- lows: Assessed valuation for 1884, $50, ,227, 765. 97; real valuation, S45, ,OOO, ,OOO. an increase of 100 per cent. in two years. Indebtedness, January 1, 1885: Ten per cent. bonds, issue of 1881, $90,000; seven per cent. bonds, issue of 1883, $26O,OOO. Ratio of indebted ness to real valuation, less than one per cent. Revenue (estimated) for 1885, $12O,OOO. Warrants paid to January 1, 1885. Under the heading "Arizona's resources" it says: "Arizona has three great sources of wealth-agrIcufture, stock-raising and mining-and is so favored by nature that the orange, lemon, olive, fig, of the tropics, grow side by side with the products of the temperate zone. Few countries are so blessed as to possess all these resources and those SO favored have reached the highest pinnacle of power and prosperity. Arizona can boast ol not only all these gifts, but is blessed with a climate unsur. passed in the world. As an evi' dence of it's progress, the Territory has doubled in population and valuation in two years, and is ad' vancing at rate unprecedented in the history of the West. That it is destined in a few years tC become a populous and powerful State Is beyond conjecture"

The "Mcjave County Miner," openly lays the blame on Gov. F. A. Tritle for the action of the Board of Pardons which met re. gently at Prescott, and pardoned five convlcts, commuted the sen- tence of one, and took the cases of five others under advisement. The Board of Pardons is composed of the Governor, the Attorney General and the Chairman of the Prison Commissioners. These are gentlemen of judgment and dis cretion and we believe that their course at that meeting, as Board of Pardons, was beyond criticism, either by the "Miner" or any other paper. There is no blame attached to the Governor for the action of the Board, and any paper that thus attacks him shows a lack of knowledge of the laws passed at the last session of the Legislature.

hence and by measurement attested the tunnel head is above 40 beyond where the ledge would have been struck, did 1t hold the dips shown on surface. MT. Goodman continued his
 EXPLORATIONS,
 And now has numerous cuts and shafts uncovering this vein for five full claims continuous. The general trend is northeast and south westerly between contact of granite hanging and slate foot-walls. The ledge matter is a friable, iron stained quartz, and talcose slate formation, a free milling proposition with sulphurets of no moment, the vein string, and give surface indication of permanency. The ledge will average in width about three feet, probably more. The ores are low grade but could be worked at a profit if economically handled, and the chances favorable of, at any time, opening on chambers, or bonanxas of extremely rich ore, from which anywhere from 5000 up could be taken. The mines belong to that character or formation in which de. posits of that nature are found. Situated just within the foothills they are of ready access. A wagon road could be built at nominal expense; within three miles of the mines, at one time the river had its channel. There is no hard pan or solid formation between this point and the river. simply gravelly mesas, and sand dunes. The rise is probably 25 feet to the mile, hence water could be found at q reasonable depth sufficient for all milling and mining purposes. This is one of Yuma county's propositions that with small expenditure of capital, from what one might judge from a hurried in vestigation, would repay all interested. TAYLOR D. MACLEOD.

A dispatch from Deming. dated June 3, says that reports from the San Carlos and Apache reserva- tions say that the Indians are all quiet and no more hostilities are anticipated. No further particu- lars are yet received from Fort Bowie. The reported capture oi renegades by Captain Smiths troops and scouts on the Upper Gila, from the position of the troops and the locality in which the Indians were when last heard from, is probably authentic.

constables Of sagadahoo County,

The people of Bath are considerably
excited over the applications made early
in the summer for the appointment OF
Copstables to enforce the prohihitory
law. Numerous hearings were given by
the Governor and Council, the parties at
different times chartering steamers and
coming up the river to Augusta in full
force. The opposition made by the city
government and other citizens against the
appointment of one gentleman was so
strong, that after long and patient hear
ing the Governor and Council decided
that it would not be advisable to appoint
him. This decision was made known TO
the petitioners and they were informed
that If they would name two reputable
and suitable men for constablcs they
should be appointed. This reasonable
proposition was rejected, the petition
ers informing the Executive that If they
could not have the person asked for they
would have none. Several Demo-
cratic papers and one or two that are not
of that persuasion have seen fit to con-
denim the Executive for tho action in this
case. This is very easy thing to do. 1t
requires little courage or ability and no
special information upon the subject
The liquor constables matter is Il very
difficult one to handle so that 1t will be
of any avail to the cause of prohibition.

that Governor Robbie has committed the

Governor has not completed the act, and
unless he does the convict will have to
