The Real Sufferers.

The Silver Belt is on the right track in the plea for justice to the sufferers from Apache depredations. Many of these depredations involved loss of life, others involved property; the former money cannot recompense, but the latter should be made good. The Indians are the wards of the govern ment and the government is--or at least should Irresponsible for their acts. If there is class of men on earth that are deserving well of our government, it is the early settlers of the west, for it is due to them to-day that the nation is as great as 1t is. All the hardships and perils of frontier life, the isolation and the dangers attendant upon the settlement of a new country, were more often in waiting than their daily bread. Hu- man foes, the most dreaded of all, too, often destroyed in one fateful hour the accumulations of life oi hardship and toil An Indian out break on the reservation was worse to be dreaded than pestiIence Nothing that came in their fell way was safe from their bosom of destruc ton. The helpless as we'll as the strong, the weak as well as the brave went down before the savage blast The hot breath of the dreaded simoom was not more fearful in it's ravagef than an outburst of fury from these government words-painted fiends. The losses incurred at their hands should be made good. If man keeps a per of wild animals and they break ou and destroy life and property, he, tht owner thereof, would perforce bt compelled to make good the loss Justice demands that the governmen do likewise. For years the lossei sustained by frontier men at tn, hands of the Indians, have been before the government for settlement, bu apparently the day for such things i as far off as ever We do believe however, that if these cases were prop erly laid before the present admins tration, they would be allowed an, ordered paid. There are many fami lies in Arizona to-day, widows an, orphan children, to whom such hell would come as Godsend and we hop to see 1t come. It Is theirs by right and we sincerely trust the governmen will so see it.-Citizen.

Huachuca Stock Notes.
TCorr. Wilcox Stockman. l

This is getting to be quite a ship ping point, and the genial proprietor of the only hotel here is making hay while the sun shines and without any great advance in toll for the necessities of life, and only trebl;ng the price on liquid refreshments.
 To-day the T or circle dot outfit made their second shipment, consist ing of three trains. There was consider able guessing as to the price which Mr. Black paid for lot of old stags and refuse Sonora steers, the general opinion being that the owners had to give him a bonus to get rid of them. Cameron said that he got $5 a head, but this seems hardly probable when good graded yearlings are selling for $6.75.
 Sidney Thomas and James Suther- land have sold their steers to MT. Black at $6.50, $9.50 and SIS, for ones, twos and threes respectively.
 The prices which the buyers are offering for cattle is according to the degree of improved blood which they believe to be in a mans herd and it is part of wisdom for every ranchman to grade up his herd as fast as possi- ble. We heard Colonel Johnston, who is buying for MT. Black, say that next year there would be no market for scrubs in Kansas, and Mr. Black acts as if he believed it. That gentleman, it appears, made a flying trip into Sonora a few days ago to look over a herd. He says that he was never treated better in his life, and was greatly pleased with all he saw except the cattle-to use his own expression, "they were not worth to me $50 doz- en-" and remember this was said of three-year-old steers. There is no more short-sighted economy than the con- tinued producing of crops that will not , sell, and the wise cattleman will not do it.
 Wm. Barnett, of the Arizona ranch, some fifty miles southwest of Nogales, } in Sonora, is dehorning all his steers, and Hon. I. N. Town has just com ) pleted the work on all his one and two-year-olds. Mr. Town is we'll ac- l quainted with the demands of Kansas steer feeders, and he bears out Mir
 Black in the assertion that two years
 hence a horned steer will not find a
 buyer in Kansas. This the Arizona
 ranchmen want to bear in mind
 In addition to the old COWS which
 Messrs. Miles and Noel bought of Colin
 Cameron, they purchased 1000 head ; of c. NJ. Bruce at $6. These are fal
 the oldest and worst colored COWS or :. the range. MT. Noel sends word thai s Miles got through safely with the . drive of 750 head. The COWS were
 taken some forty miles north of Dem ing.
 Maish < Driscoll, who sold to Mon q tana men, delivered at this point, 2,00i l head of twos, and as many threes al e they find. Sabino Otero, Juan Ella
 and other neighbors join in with Mir
 Iaisll.
 O The Santa Fe road is extremel,
 courteous to the cattlemen, and il 0 addition to return passes, spare n
 pains to accommodate them in al
 possible ways. The pens here ar o large and we'll arranged and are il v good order. Mr. Seymour, the road master, was here to-day overseeing tn work, and with him we will return t V Benson.

Sales of Railroad L ands.

The warrantee deeds weie hled Tn the recorders office yester, tay con veying nearly half million acres ol O. land from the Atlantic & Pacii 1c rall- road company to George F. Crane, ol New York City. One deed is for t6O 045,S5 acres and the consideration IS $120, ,034 39, and the other is for 2l 4- l83.12 acres at $160,630.39.
 MT. Crane, the purchaser, has: bought the land for speculative pur- poses, and will in all probability i'm prove and colonize great portion of his empire. He has the capital with which to build irrigating canals and reservoirs, and should he do this, Der narlillo county can look forward to an era of prosperity that will rival anything ever experienced in the agri- cultural sections of California.-Albu- querque Democrat.
 The same party has had five deeds filed in the Recorders office of this county which calls for 1922, ,SS8 acres. This embraces all the land of the At lantic & Pacific railroad company in Apache county, with the exception of about ATT 900 acres. A great portion of this immense body of land which Mir. Crane has purchased would be fine agricultural land if there was wa ter to irrigate it. Water can be placed on from $125 ,000 to 10000 acres, by and expenditure of from $l50,OO0 to $200,000. Land, after the water is available, would sell readily at from $10 to $l5.0O dollars per acre. But we will place the estimate for dams, reservoirs and canals at the highest figure, and say the total cost would be $500, 0,000. MT. Crane could, by build ing three dams above St. Johns, on the Little Colorado river, reclaim sui fcient land to repay him the amount expended in the purchase of all the land, and for building the dams and taking out the canals, and would have a handsome income from the sale of water, which would continue as long as time lasts. We know of no better or safer investment for one with the means, or for a number of capitalists. St. Johns Herald.

INDIANS.
Four Apaches Led By Renegade White Man Rounded up and Killed
 the Janos.

Colonel Crews-Read of the British army, who is one of the owners of the San Pedro ranch with Captain Scobell, did fine piece of work over in that region few days since. Fresh signs of Apaches were discovered in the vi- cinity of the ranch, where fine horses, | are bred, and Colonel Crews-Read, who is noted at home and in British army circles as one of the best all-around shots of the age, determined to hunt down the red skins, who were doubt less the remnant of band that recent ly defeated some Mexican soldiers on the Bavispe. Accordingly the colonel took few trusty men, struck the trail and followed the Apaches to 8 point near Janos, where he complete ly surprised them, killing four out of the five seen and capturing their horses, arms, etc. The man who es capped was recognized as a white man and is said to have formerly lived about about Silver City, N. M.. and Clifton, Arizona, and to have left that section a number of years ago with the Apaches.-El Paso Herald

Another Opinion.

Willard Richards, while in Fl Paso on his way to Tombstone and his So- nora mines, was interviewed by Her aid reporter regarding affairs below the line. He stated that the murders reported from that country as being done by the Indians is not true; it is the outlaws who are doing the kill ing. There are only about twelve In dians in the whole country, but there are about four or five times as many outlaws of every nationality, includ- ing Mexicans and Americans. These men are regular bandits and work to- gether in bands of not more than four Of five and are scattered through the Sierra Madres from the Arizona line south. It was they who did the kill ing recently near Bisbee, Arizona. They also steal cattle for living and are shot down at sight by the ranch men, and 37 of these bandits have been killed during the last few months.
