 A special telegram to the Denver Trib. une-Republicau last evening, stated that the murdsrous Apaches from the San Cailo agency had taken possession of the Harshs~ mining district in the ex- treme southwestern portion of Arizona, aud that the miners and settlers had as- semblei in Cuttenden for mutual pro- tecti0n.
 The dispatch contains local slgnif- caGce Tor the reason that several Denver men are interested ID the mines in that distinct, and at least two well-known Denver men are among those persons now assembled ut Crlttendeu. These are WIilis F. Meyers of the Uncle George mine, and Andrew McGill of the Nisa mIne. Early yesterday morn ing President Darrow of the board of ald-rmeu, who IS one of the owners of the Uacle George mine, received a tele- gram stating that the Indians were raid ing Tn Bisbee, thirty odd miles to the north, anu that the people in that dis trici expected their town would come next. For that rezson they had abau- d,nei tne mine and joined the other miners at CrIITenden.
