 EDITOR CTTIzEs:-The people of Ari vacs. Sopori and Gro Blsnco, finding that Uncle Sam is too weak 10 protec his territory, with what horses. men ana arms, that could be collected, have lief their homes and occupations to sgair take up the Indian trail with some fresl shod animals. \ company of thirty eight men, about twelve Americans and twenty-six Mexicans with Juan snd Tomas Elias ss trsilers, Juan Elias and Manuel Moreno being in general charge ana and John BOgsn ID charge of the American contingent, amongst whom IS J. F. Curry, J. Middlenss, T. Cullen, Nat Wild. J. Perry, M. McNsmsrs. J. Msloney, J. Lyle, Alonzo. Noon, W. Reed and partner. They left here at ] p. ID. yesterday, for the broken country south, to which the Indians were trziled the day before. Gen. Miles has been in formed and will doubtless try to head them oil from the south. IL IS felt here that II Pima county people do not take ehectual steps to aid the military in cleaning the Indians out of Pima county they will clean 1t out of horses. murder wherever they can, and psralyZe and ruin its business.
 These Indians are band of robbers and assassins; II Is ss strictly legal, and much more necessary for the territory to offer a reward Of SlJ0 per head for their capture or killing, as to offer it for the mail robbers of'Bumble Bee. which was done in less than three days after the robbery. Let the territory offer S25J for escn Indian captured or killed, and The county supervisors of each coun- ty B similar additional ssm for each In dian killed or captured in their respec- tive counties and the hills will speedily be alive with small scouting parues of miners, ranchers and men prospecting for bostiles in Indian fashion, to ambus- busc8de and surprise them, and before the county oriterritOry has many heads to pay for. the Indians will 20 where their hesds feel safer. for these wolves are as cowardly as they are murderous, and the almighty dollar will be- found more potent than U. 5. guns in dealing with such vermin. It should not be forgotten that with the majority Of the people 1t Is necessary for them to work III order 10 live from day to day; that the general class ot men that are willing and able to do this kind of work, will not work for nothing, risking life and undergoing hardships for the benefit mostly of vested inter ests. taxpayers, and people who stay st home; nor sre they wiling to become militia men, and be choked to death by red tape for four bits or dollar a day.
 I.ae N..l- matter, whether the territory does so or not, and it will be found the taI-psy- CTS and voters of this county, will rally to their aId overwhelmingly and the par alyzed interests of Pima county be saved.
 A few simple requirements, and very few only. might regulate the payment of bounties, in order 10 protect Papagos or others; for instance, Bs now required iu order to obtain the lion and bear scalp bounty, the affidavit with the pro ductiOn of the evidences, could be made before the nearest justIce Of the peace, the whole body to te produced ID al possible cases, and where not possible, the evidence alone, accompanied by the testimony of one or more reliable per sons who had viewed the body, the clothing, weapons and all reasonable, necessary evidence, to establish the fact of its being an hostile that was killed, to be produced before any justice of the peace and endorsed, certified and for wsrded by him to the Board of County Supervisors.
 The Supervisors could simply offer 8 reward for the arrest and capture of all outlaws. murderers and robbers in the county of Pima, or for the production of the body or other satisfactory evidence, in the case of any killed in resisting capture. No need to mention Indians specifically. to the horror of Indian lovers. but make it applicable to all theises and murderers in Pima County. be they white, black or brown.
