GERONIMO,
some Facts Concerning the Willy old
 Apache Chief.

some Facts Concerning the Willy old
 Apachs Chief.
 Hon. F. G. Hughes In the Tucson Star.i
 Apropos to the controversy over the removal of the Chiricahua Apaehes from Mt. Vernon Barracks, to Fort Sill, have been requested by many citizens, to state what I know of this much petted Geronimo and the Apache fiends now qusrantined with him. l first met Geronimo in the winter of 1872. It was about two months after Gen. Howard made his famous treaty with Cochise and brought that willy chief in of his trail of blood. A party of Apaches who had been living in the neighborhood of Janos in Chihuahua, sent word to the Chiricahua agency that they wanted to make peace and requested agent Jeffords to meet them in the Chirichaua Mountains. l vent with Capt. Jeffords on this mission of peace, and found Geronimo, with his party, who were under the chief Ma hil-za, and Juh. Geronimo being able to talk little Spanish, made himself conspicuous by acting as interpreter He was very particular to make us be lieve he was very penitent and sorry the Apaches had been our enemies SC long; he pretended to be very glad the war was now over, and that they could now live at peace, but remarked al that time that 1 could see treacherJ and deceit depicted in his every feature and action, and I was not deceived for he afterwards proved himself to b' one of the most treacherous, cripging cowardly fiends of the whole tribe. H. he been but a few days on the reserya ton when he tried to have som' drunken Indians kill us while we wer,

asleep, and break up the agency. Had it not been for their fear of Cochise they would undoubtedly have done 1t. He was but few weeks on the reser- vation when he joined a raiding party into Mexico, and on his return brought back little Mexican boy captive. We took the boy from him and he tried to raise an emeute becouse we would not pay them for the boy. Again the fear of Cochise was all that kept them down. have seen him riding around the reservation with 0 child's bloody clothing dangling from his spear and saddle; trophies of this braves valor on one of his raids into Mexico. After Coehise died he was found with the unruly element of Esquinya and Pionsinay, and was with them when they killed Rogers and. Spence, and the settlers on the San Pedro; he was with them again when they tried to drive the Cochise boys on the war path, which resulted in the battle in the Chiricahuas, in which Esquinya was killed and Pionsinay badly wound ed, and there never was an emeute Of the Chiricahuas, either at the Chiri- cahua or San Carlos agencies, but what Geronimo was with the disturb ing element. Yet this same fend would be present at every talk or con ference, pretending his love for the white man and his sorrow for their past troubles. And now he is an eastern sunday school teacherl Well, may God have mercy upon his pupils, but keep them where they are getting their education. I see Gen. Crook favors the locating of these Indians upon the Fort Sili reservation and pre- tends to believe they will not return to their old haunts from that place. Now either General Crook does not believe what he pretends or else he has less knowledge of the Apaches than have given him credit for. But it is just possible he is a little bit jealous of Gen. Miles and his work, and wishes to undo it. As he was with General Howard in 1872, when Howard came out from the east, went into Cochise's stronghold and made a treaty with the willy chief under Crooks nose, who had been in com mand of the department over a year, and had never made an effort 10 sub due him. Yet murders by these h. dians at that time were almost daily occurrences.
 Why, if those Indians are removed to Fort Sill they are just as certain to return to their old haunts as the sun rises and sets. Why, child who has any knowledge of these Indians would know that. The Mescaleros and Chiricahuas are virtually one tribe of Indians; they talk the same language, are intermarried and affiliate. A great portion of the time numbers of the Mescalero Apaches would be with Cochise, while numbers of Cochise's Indians would be with the Mescaleros. Mana is an old Mescalero chief. From Fort Sill to the Mescalero country is less than 300 miles, and the Apaches used to travel 400 or 800 miles into Mexico just to steal few horses. over just such country as that which lies between Indian Territory and the Mescalero country. If they would travel that distance to steal g few horses, why would they not travel a shorter distance to get to the country to which they are so weddedf The government may jas.- we'll bring them into the Chiricahua mountains at once as to bring them to Fort Sill.

came from, such law would have been a good pecuniary measure, but here 1t would not affect our finances much. Why? Because we are not troubled with foreign paupers. As a rule all the foreigners residing with us are self-sustaining.
 When a person becomes a subject ot charity some one must take care of him, and who is so competent for the task as the county. It is not right to compel private persons to undertake It; neither IS 1t right to let them starve and die for want of food and medicine, when we might just as we'll give him them. If the law is strict ly adhered to this must be the inevit- able result. Because if the county does not recognize him as a subject Of public charity, he must turn to private individuals for aid and if they Ill turn refuse him, what other refuge has he then? None! He must con slder every thing from thenceforward that tends to make him better or worse, as things coming directly from nature itself.
 Besides we must not forget that we invite here all classes of foreigners and II they come here in consequence of thls invitation we certainly should be hospitable enough to aid them when they are so unfortunate as to need it.
 know that our national immigra- tion laws should be amended so as to prohibit the rapid immigration of the pauper class of foreigners; but so long as our national laws do not discrimin- ate we are helpless It would be un- christian-aye, heathenish-to let the poor miserable beings perish on our very thresholds, if we can prevent 1t.
 This law is perfectly contemptible and showsa low, groveling disposition instead of the high minded and gen erous spirit that should characterize the statesman.
 What will our neighbors think of complaining of foreign paupers when they go and look within their own almshopses and compare their num- bers with those who are living by pub lie charity in Arizonal Gentlemen. let us wait until we have cause before we complain.
 There issanother objectionable fea- ture to this bill, of which I meant to write, but I have already said more than I intended to on this point, so l will merely give the sections and re- quest the reader to look it up and try and agree with me in saying that it can be remedied to decided advan- tage. The sections to which I refer are sections l, ,, 3 and 4 of act No. fl, page 67 of the "Acts of the Fifteenth Legislative Assembly,"
 Now, MT. Editor, hoping you will have room for this, and that it will not tire the reader beyond endurance, l remain with cramped fingers.
 Yours Truly,
 MORPHEUS KAJoNEs.

The walls of the canyon are not, as

The WALLS or the canyon are not, as is generally supposed, precipitous, but are bench upon bench until they reach the height of 5000 to 1000 feet. The high water mark in the narrowest DOT tions of the canyon is eighty feet.
 Since Major PowelPs trip through the canyon many changes have taken place. The rapids which were des- cribed by him as dangerous, were not so. But other rapids not noted by him were found, and in number of places which required portage then there is plenty of water now. Of the half dozen pillars of lava which Powell reported, but one Is standing, as the case of the three columns of sand stone, one only being left. With each great rise of water changes are made in the stream.
 MT. Stanton is confident that he can take a properly constructed steam launch safely up the canyon, and it may be in years to come that pleasure parties may make the trip in this manner.
 The fall of the river from Grand River Junction to Diamond Creek is 4,0OO feet distance of less than 600 miles. Some idea of the swiftness of the stream may be gained from this. The river is something less than 200 feet wide in the narrowest part of the canyon, and the boats would pass through many of the rapids with the speed of an express train. As to the discoveries of mountains of pure rock salt and valuable depos- it's of coal along the river, MT. Stanton says that all reports that such dis coveries were made are the sheerest nonsense. No prospecting for mineral was done. No one familiar with prospecting for ores was with the party after the departure of Mcdonald. There may be valuable deposits of mineral along the canyon portion of the river, but not to his knowledge, and there certainly are not large de- posits of salt or coal.
 Mir. Stanton is reticent on the sub ject of a railroad down the banks of the Colorado, and talks to no one about its practicability, although he leaves the impression that so far as he has explored the river road can be built. But to the cost he has no idea. He is just now making the survey and will, when he is through and compares his data, be able to tell pretty nearly the cost, and as to the practicability of the construction of the road, the projectors can determine when he makes his report.
 The party still have fifty-three miles of the Grand Canyon to explore, that is from Diamond Creek to Wallapai Wash. Below. the latter point very little difficulty will be experienced, as steamboats have been up to the Wal lapai Wash during high water.
 MT. Stanton expects to start from Diamond Creek next Monday, and ex- poets to reach Needles on April 1st, where he will leave his party to finish the survey up and down the river He speaks highly of the bravery and will lingness of the men of his party dur ing their pelilous trip. The boats car " but eight men comfortably, and he will only take that number the re- mainder of the trip. The survey will be carried down the west bank of the river to where the waters of the Col orado join those of the gulf.

DOWN THE GRAND CANYON.
The Engineering Party Reach Diamond Grssk--A Talk with Chief Epsis
 neer stanton.
tAohRve Miner.i

The exploring party under Chief Engineer Robert B. Stanton reached Diamond Creek Canyon, twenty miles north of Peach Springs, on the 1st inst. The party is surveying route down the Colorado River for the Den yer, Colorado # Pacific Railway Go. The writer spent an evening with Ar. Stanton, who related many incidents of the perilous trip of the party.
 They left Denver on the 26th of No vember last, ,-and by land and water reached the point in Marble Canyon where the expedition of last summer lost their leader and three members of the party.
 The boats in which the party made their trip are of oak strips, copper riveted; are twenty feet long and four and half beam, and contain ten air tight compartments, and are so con structed that 1t is almost impossible to upset them. Three of these boats were made and they cost about $1 900. All the supplies were placed in rubber bags. On the trip one of the boats was caught on the rocks and so badly injured that it was abandoned. All the supplies except one bag were saved.
 The river through the canyon Is full of rapids which vary in length from g few rods to two miles, but no abrupt falls exist. The water is very swift and in every bend in the river eddies oc cur, but no whirlpools or sucks were encountered. The great danger to the boats were the rocks under water the boats either running against then or catching on them. In many of the rapids waves twenty feel high were run over, the spray O the water drenching the men. Al the party wore cork jackets and ever. precaution was taken against loss O life, On leaving Lees Ferry the par ty were twelve in number, but MI Nimms, the photographer, was inIure' by falling from the rocks, and wa sent to Denver. At Kanab Wash Mcdonald, aa old prospeOt0r, and boatman of experience deserted tn
 party, having had enough of tn trip.
 The entire length of the canyon tn scenery is grand and overlapping and words are inadequate to deserib
 it's wonderful beauties.
 About fifty-6ve miles above Diamon , Greek Canyon, on the north side ( ! the river, MT. Stanton discovered tn ' crater of an extinct volcano. I'll I whole country around the crater is CO r cred with lava, and the overflow { one time choked up the Colorad |, river, and the flow of lava is shown Y the river bed to within a few mil' above Diamond Greek. The part d were greatly interested in this wonde i full throe of nature, and for the tin
 being forgot everything else but q
 examination of the grand but destFu
 tive work done in ages past.

Yes, He Wants the Powers.
(Tucson Star

Some three weeks ago the Star pub lished special despatch from Wash ington, in which it was stated that Governor Wolfey WAS enlsazorine to have law passed by which she ,s xs governor, could remove for; cause any territorial or county officer. The put lication of that despafch caused no 1r1rrc ssS5zzaes IT Ssrty strong language WAS induIged in against the governor for attempting to have such law passed. The Gov ernor's friends came to the rescue and declared the contents of the Stars special was untrue The Citizen de- clared editorially, in effect, that there Iai1st ba a mistakes out somewhere ]; that Governor 8olIisey would not be guiity Of hn atI&I6ljt 5o secure 10 him self such aat0efzkic poaeT; snd fte Star shared in the safne opini6nsf for the simple reason that we had been led to believed that our Governor was of American birth and education, both of which have a tendency to frown down the tone man power" idea.
 Governor Wolfey returned from the east Thursday morning. The Citizen published an interview with him in Friday evenings issue, in which this subject is discussed, and admitted in plain words that he is endeavoring to have enacted a law which will give him the very power claimed by the Stars Washington special. He wants the power to remove all territorial and county officials, and points to the fact that if his law had been in oper- ation he could have removed the sheriff and district attorney of Yuma county for what he calls the Behan- Gillespie trouble. Then he wants to remove the asylum commissioners and prison commissioners. He says: "It is impossible for the Governor to carry out the faithful execution of the laws unless he has some direct power for emergency. The slow process of courts almost gives the incumbent an in. creased length of official life rather than hastening his removal" There is now no room for doubtine Governor Woldey's position; he want: to be the law making power, the court and the executive.
 He has been in Washington three months, trying to make laws upon oul people which our legislators have re pealed, and which gives him the power of removal and he to be the solt power of Arizona.
 For he himself hath said it,
 And 'tis much to his discredit,
 That he aspires to make, interpre and execute the law.

Charles M. Clark and MT. Hosier visited the Black Horse mine yester- day, and were delighted with what they saw there. They brought in large specimen of rock from which wire silver glistens on all sides and MT. Clark says they have this quality of ore for thirty inches solid in the mine. The very brief history of this property is another illustration of the possibilities of our mining resources. The former owners of the property sunk shaft sixty feet deep, from which they took out considerable shipping ore. For some cause or other they stopped work and allowed the shaft to fill up with water. MT. Boaz hearing of what had been taken from it, concluded to look at the prop erty with 8 view of purchasing. He pumped the water from it, and pro curing samples from the bottom oi the shaft, made sale of the property for $2, 800. F. L. Carlisle subsequent ly came out and started sinking the shaft deeper. This was only little over one month ago. At seventy feet deep this quality of ore was struck ant has remained solid for sixteen feet, tht shaft now being eight-six feet deep A ton of ore can be assorted from thu dump which would more than pay fol the original purchase price of tn mine, while Mir. Clark says it vii average from $1 900 to $1, 300 per tol clear across the ledge. The ore re sembles that of the famous Silver Kin mine in Pinal county.-Prescott Joul nal Miner.

Lemon Aid,

Acting Governor Murphy returned yesterday from hurried business trip to Yuma. He brought with him an armful of lemons from Mir. John Gan dolfo's garden, where this anti-billious luxury does certainly attain perfection. The branches were loaded down with golden beauties, great, big ones and the smaller varieties whose acid prop erty seems to increase as their size diminishes. Mir. C. H. Brinley also succeeds markedly in raising not only lemons, but lines and citrus fruit generally.
 While congratulating our Yuma neighbors on their skilled enterprise, we desire to say once moro that the whole Gila and Salt River valleys, up to and including ex-Governor Zulick's Highland canal, should be yellow with the same attractive, richly yielding orchards. Our winter has, if anything been milder than that of Yuma There is no reason why we should not engage in friendly competition. Let us hope to see the lemon and lims mingling their blossoms with the white petals of our oranges, almonds and apricots.-Phenix Herald

Arizona has history that has never been written. It is only told by the inscribed rocks, the empty irrigating canals, and the ruins of pottery. Be- fore the European saw this continent, two races had lived and died in Ari- zona. How many thousands of years there were between the clff-dwellers and the men who built the canals we do not know, Among the ruins first found by white men, three hundred and fifty years ago, the lagest building was four stories high, and had walls six feet thick.-Homs Missionary.

An exciting game of ball was played
at Pohtatuck hollow, Botsford, Saturday,
between the Eurekas of Stepney and the
Botsford hill club, who drew somewhat
heavily from the Sandy Hook Colts and
other players. Though called at the END
of the fifth inning, the score standing IL
to 8 in favor of the Botsford hill boys,
three of the Eureka players were tempo
rarily disabled and others on both sides
received minor injuries, while the um-
pire, Harry Coger, escaped with his life.
The attendance was good, but in hearty
svmpathy with the Botsford hills. The
first of the trio of accidents occurred In
the third inning, when George Hubbeii,
who was running from second to third
base, stepped into hole, fell and was
mt ont, He arose with strained ankle,
but continued to play. In the fourth in
ming the catcher, c. Peet, had a hnger
knocked out of joint by a hot ball Tor
which he was reaching with his left
hand. This laid him off and Harris
Clark was called in from first base to
take the catcher's place, Roberts, the
curve pitcher of the Eurekas, retiring
also to give Clarke an opportunity to
hold Daniel Edwards, who delivers a
straight ball with the velocity of cam
non ball. In the last half of the fifth in
ming, with one man out and one on bases
the batsman popped up an easy fly, al
most straight into the air. 10 catch and
hurl the ball to first would put out two
more men and retire the side and Clark
and Edwards ran swiftly. Neither saw
the other and the collision threw Clark
down and cut a cash over his eye, which
bled profusely. On account OF accidents
and darkness, the game was then called.
