INDIANS.
THE MEXICAN GOVERNMENT TO RUN
 THEM DOWN.
A Detachment of Cavalry now at the Gus tom House, and the Commander in
 Tombstone.
L1ombslone Prosnector.l


 General Juan Fenochio, command ing troop of cavalry, arrived at the custom house at the San Pedro yester- day, and leaving his command came to Tombstone with a portion of his staff. Immediately upon his arrival he sought Sheriff Slaughter and asked his assistance in locating the Apaches who are off the reservation. The gen eral and his command have sbeen or dered to the line to hunt down the small band of redskins who have been reported out. During the past week there have been rumors of another band leaving the reservation, and enough is now known to make the rumor certainty. They were seen by several cowmen in the valley and their trail led down the valley. This is the band that stole Professor Rock fellows horse and the Smith & Doug lass stallion mentioned in the Pros pector few days ago.
 Sheriff Slaughter telegraphed to San Carlos last night, asking for the number of-Indians off the reservation, and received an answer this afternoon signed by the officer in charge, that he had telegraphed to department headquarters for instructions and would answer later. General Feno chic will remain here until an answer is received, and then take the fielC and either capture or drive the In dians out of Sonora.
 A concerted. action on the part O the American forces would be the prop CT thing at this time, as the Apaches will be driven across the line onto this side, where they will play havoc or sneak back onto the reservation tC renew their raids hereafter.

TIE public schools of Tucson are about to suspend on account of the exhaustion of funds. Efforts are being made to avert this necessity by secur- ing the nasty apportionment of the school funds now in the Territorial treasury. The opinion prevails, how ever, that the school funds have been expended with too lavish hand and that extravaganza has been the rule rather than economy. The interests of our public schools cannot be too strongly guarded and the utmost care and prudence should be exercised ia disbursing this sacred fund.

THE storage reservoir of the Flor ence Canal company will be completed during the present month and the water will be turned into it so long as the river carries surplus above the needs of existing ditches. It is quite likely that sufficient water will be available to fill the reservoir even be- fore the summer rains begin, but in any event it will contain sufficient for all the requirements of the settlers below during the irrigation season. It is a substantial structure from bot tom to top and is built with the same thoroughness that characterizes all the work accomplished by this enter prising company.

A BigLoan.

There was filed in the Recorders office yes terday deed of trust from the Arizona Improvement Co.,, to the Merchants Loan < Trust Co.,, of Chi cago, Ills, for $1 100000, running 30 years with 6 per cent annual interest, payable semi-annually. The money loaned thereon is to be used in pay ing of any indebtedness of the com pany or of the canal companies con- trolled by it and for improving the company's property. The loan is represented by 1,500 bonds of $1 GOO each. The proceeds will leave an ample amount for the company to car ry out certain large, and carefully matured plans for the still greater de velopment of our wonderfully rich valley. The transaction simply shows that eastern capitalists have begun to awaken to the fact that in Salt River valley is a most magnificent oppor- tunity for profitable investment.-Phe- nix Herald

The Indian Situation.

The Epitaph does not wish to as sume the role of an alarmist, but it is only right to publish for the infor- nation of isolated ranchers and pros pectors, that small band of Indians from the reservation has recently joined the renegades who have been raiding along the border for some time Sheriff Slaughter, who is prob ably better posted on the Indian question in this part of the country than any one else, says that with the recent addition spoken of, the number of renegades now at large is at least twenty-five. So far, on this side of the line, they have confined them selves to stealing, but there is no tell ing when they may commence killing. We publish this for the benefit of settlers and miners along the line that they may be placed on their guard.-Epitaph.

THE recent decision of the Supreme Court of Arizona will probably be gracefully accepted by hold-over off cials. We believe that many of them were sincere in their contest of aut Ior- ity and supposed their actions to be right and lawful, and if this be the case they will cheerfully acquiesce in the Courts decision and turn over their respective offices to their suc- eessors without further barley. Further contest will only bring them into ridicule and contempt and obstruct public affairs that have already suf- fered almost beyond endurance, for no good cause.

Frank Wallace returned from a long absence in Sonora, last Wednes- day. Frank was in the Sierra Madre county. On his return when he was coming along the road, about 40 miles east of Soyopa he stopped at the Mexico" mine owned by a Mexican gentleman who lives at Soyopa. Lit tie Is known of this mine by the out side world, yet about 100 men are em- plOyed there, and plenty of very good ore is being taken out, the principal part of it being shipped to the Socorro smelter. This mine has only been worked about one year, yet it is con- sidered by all miners who have passed that way, to be one of the best mines in Sonora. At the 'La Trinidad" the work is going on quite extensively, and considerable bullion is being ship ped from there. The property is un- der the management of MT. Robinson of Guaymas. The new wagon road, from the Mulatos mine to the railroad is being pushed along as rapidly as possible. and a portion of the new machinery is now at the railroad station awaiting transportation to the mines.-Nogales Record.

TOMBSTONE has grown weary of it's designation of mere monument to something that once existed but now has returned to the dust whence it came, and is earnestly agitating the question of exchanging that doleful cog nomen to the more euphonious name of Richmond. The novelty of the old name has worn away and nothing is left but grin of hideousness that is neither lovely or lovable. A tombstone is about the last thing a man wants or receives in this world, and the people of Cochise county are no exception to the rule.

THE Los Angeles Herald, in a general review of the James-Addison-Pe -Peralta- Reavis-Dona-Sophia-Loreta-Micaela- Maso-y-Peralta-de de--la-Cordoba bogus grant, seems to accept as fact that the female representative of the above hyphenated cognomen is of Castill ian origin. Her pedigree, however, finds that she first saw the light of life at the Mendocino Indian reservation her father Missouri "squaw man" and her mother a Digger squaw. She was known as Sophia Treadwell, and was formerly domestic in the family of R. c. Hopkins at San Francisco and afterwards housekeepsr for James A. Reayis. The Hon. Barclay Henley, of California, was well acquainted with the circumstance of her early life and gave these facts to Hon. P. R. Brady, of this place, as the truth in the case. The Court of Claims at Washington will probably be enlightened upon this point before it reaches any decision in the Peralta claim for millions.

The decision of the supreme court places Wolfiey in a still worse light. By it's decision declaring all the acts of the legislature legal, the court con victs him of being law-breaker when he refused to call the constitutional convention, and practically says that his assumption of the role of our say for by rushing off to Washington, was the height of absurdity. Governor Wolfey is something like person who gets into bed of quicksand- his desperate efforts to get out of his unpleasant situation only result in getting him deeper into the mire.- Epitaph.

FoR the purpose of evading the ex- ecution of law that did not suit his pleasure, Governor Wolfey usurped judicial functions and declared nearly all the laws of the Fifteenth Legisla- tive assembly to be illegal, although its confirmation of his appointees was deemed sufficiently sound to bring about year of chaos in public affairs. No matter which way the decision of the court went he was bound to get his fingers burned.

THE Phenix Herald believes that "had our laws been administered as intended, Arizona would to-day be on the highway to statehood" This, coming from one of the staunchest supporters of Governor Wolfey, is significant as showing that beneath all its superficial gliding of the ex- ecutive's official acts there exists a strong feeling of dissatisfaction if not contempt, for his methods, among those who have the strongest reasons for remaining faithful to his cause. The Herald is right in its frank ad- mission, and if this tell-tale complaint has unconsciously escaped, it none the less points unerringly to the fact that the cohesive power of the part isanship that controls it's expressions is almost rent asunder by its con suming desire 10 be truthful. We sincerely pity the slaves, bound hand and foot by party chains and gagged with party threats, who are compelled to daily simulate a fealty to a master they secretly loath and to publicly subscribe to his acts that their con sciences cannot approve. The people are wise and intelligent enough to see and understand their thin dec4ptions and they laugh at the awkward at tempts to paint and powder and rouge the disfigured official counten- ance of his accidency. A free press should regard truth and justice above party lines and personal gain and stand or fall upon that principle with out fear or favor. Acting upon this solid basis there is not a reputable newspaper in Arizona that could un- equivocally endorse the acts of Gov ernor Wolhey during the short year he has held up our people to the rid icule of the whole nation.

For some time past Suppl Behan had suspected that an attempted escape would be made from the Terri torial Prison, in consequence of which he and assistant Supt. B. F. Hartlee have both kept a close watch at night. Last Saturday night MT. Behan was satisfied that he had located the cells from which the escape was intended to be made and upon examination he and MT Hartlee found that the iron work between cell b and 30 had been cut and the bolt of the cell door was sawed through, which would have given the inmates of the cell a clear road to the yard, but not to freedom. The men, eight in number, were re- moved to other quarters and the at tempted escape is meeting with a thorough investigation. The vigilance and energy of the officers prevented a serious outbreak and unquestionably loss of life.-Yuma Sentinel.
