 It is correctly reported that Mr.

 sale of the Maud s. gronp to an
 English syndicate. The report
 comes through Judge An.on Pot ter.
 We repeat, it seems strange that foreign capital can be induced to
 invest in this region. and Ameri- cans keep aloof. The Arizona Copper Company have invested S5,000,000 here, and their head quarters is at Edinburgh, Scot land. What is the matter with our American capitalists?
 Tom Fitzgerald reports the Alaska group becoming more rich in mineral wealth, with every shot made; also that the Fl Paso, one of the same group, is producing the same character of gold rock that the Morning Star has shown. This certainly leads to the clear inference that there must be an immense body of gold in the Greenlee Gold Mountain district. The Bodies of Two Dead IndIans
 Found.
 EDITOR CLARIoN:-Last evening Alex. Cody, Buck Tyson, James Parks and Dick Mays returned to Duncan, having thoroughly scout ed the country near Doubtful canon. They found the bodies of two dead Indians, one within 200 and the other 300 yards of the trail over which the Indians re- treated in the fight of the 5th inst, in which Capt. Lane Fisher and First Lieut.. W. J. Parks, with about twenty-five men from Duncan, Clifton and Carlisle whipped an equal number of h. dians and chased them one and half miles, when night prevented 1 further chase. The pappoose cap- tured at this fight is still here, in i hospitable hands. The report of i the finding of the dead bodies of | these Indians reached here sev- eral days ago, and was not cred ited, but as they have been found | by our own men, we now know | it is fact. As the trail beyond | these bodies was very bloody, we feel certain other Indians were | killed and wounded. When the | chase ceased it was too dark to hunt for dead Indians, which ac- counts for the pursuing party not | finding any. #** DUScAS, A. T., June IS. 1885.
 The command of four compa- nies of the Tenth cavalry ordered | from Fort Grant on the 18th of | May are about to return to that ! post. The officers feel in 8 cer- tain sense humiliated from the fact of having effected nothing. Yet they have no grounds to feel so, as they have had ne chance, as others have had, to show whether they were equal to any occasion that might have arisen in bring ! ing the Indians to an engage ! ment. Old-time frontiersmen know the following named officers: Lieut.. Wm. Davis, Lieut.. c. R. Ward and Capt. Reyes, and there are others that are known by rep utation, among whom are Lieuts. Clarke and Johnson, all of whom, we predict, from what we have heard, If an opportunity is offered will mako a worthy record for as well as having done the people of this Territory a service. The officers of the col cred soldiers have had no show. | Do not category them with whom we know until they are tried.
 Gen. Pope, commander of the Pacific division, and a fossilized | relic who has been a signal failure | both as a soldier and civilian, says there is no cause for excltementln Arizona, and that the reported In dian outrages here are simply the 1 creations of the diseased imagina tions of Arizona newspaper men. This is the old story. It has ever been the policy of the worthless military to denounce all reports of Indian depredatious here as the mere fabrications of frontiers men. They do this to relieve ! themselves from the disgrace a paneral Enovlad-e of tbeir failura |
