The Prospector of Monday gives the following: Appearance of Apaches in lower end of the coun- ty has caused a stampede into more settled places by prospectors and others. A. Tribolet came in yes terday, minus one horse. Another one was found with a grass rope around his neck, which had been broken off, indicating that it had broken away from its captors No troops have been seen but Indians were sighted by more than one par ty." This is only one of many sim liar rumors with good foundations, and yet they would have us believe that no Indians are off the reserva- ton, and still insist that the killing of Daniels was done by a white man, when that same man was many miles away at work at the time of the killing. In order to convince some people, it would be necessary for general uprising of the entire Apache tribe, and a repetition of the bloody war of six years ago; they might then be- lieve that the Indians are still among us, and as prone to murder now as then.-Stockman.

Suffering in Mexico.

San Antonio, Dec. 13.-The re- ports received here during the past few days concerning the droughtin Mexico are very dlscouraging. Rev. Robt. c. Elliott, missionary of the Methodist Church, who has been stationed at the city of Du- rango, Mex, for several years, has just arrived here from that place. In speaking of the suffering among the people there, he says:
 "A visitor spending a day or two in that city would scarcely be cog nizant of the great suffering exist ing there. My work among the poor has broughtme in contact with much misery and Restitution. I have found families a little above the poor class, small tradesmen and peddlers, that have not tasted food in two and three days, and they on- ly get very scanty meal of beans. Almost every article in their wretch ed novels worth ) cents has gone to the pawnbrokers for the bare ne- cessities of life,
 
 Some of the Americans citizens very generously aid me with funds for distribution among the suffering Protestants. It is high time that the Mexican Government were talk ing measures to relieve this dis tress."
 Why has not the State of Du- rango done semething?"
 "A few years ago the present Governor, when besieged by the starving people, came to the window of his palace and ordered them to go and eat grass. A few days ago, as a multitude of helpless women were clamoring for corn, the mili- tary threatened to shoot them down in the streets There are rich men in Durango now withholding their corn for higher prices.
 The fact is, they are devoid of all! feeling and interest in the poor and between tue two classes there is great gulf fixed. A reduction in the price of corn will not dissi- pate the prevailing distress. The people are now penniless. Why does not the city employ few hun. dred of the poor class to repair streets, put down sidewalks and cover over their unsightly and dan gerous places? In this way they might earn their bread at least"

The people of this section were on Wednesday last treated to the healthiest kind of a regular old fashioned, thorough-b bred New Mex ico blizzard-of wind and sand. The wind went everywhere-into cracks and crannies-into office, kitchen, and parlor-likewise the sand. It piled up on window sill and counter, and enveloped carpets and draperies. It turned with the resistless volume and force of a conquering army, every conceivable angle and corner in the twinkling of an eye, and stormed and sealed every redoubt. It swept the streets like a cleansing flood. But it was clean and wholesome, and forsome days, at least, the people of Deming may be said literally and truthful ly to have sand in their craw."- Deming Headlight.

A New Mexico exchange says: New Mexico and Arizona steers, double wintered in Montana and Wyoming, bring from $40 to $50 a head, These prices beat feeding or pasturing in Kansas, and it would seem that the cattlemen of the southwestcould make arrangements to have their steers run there or to organize combinations, secure ranges in those States, and run on their own account. It could be done for much less money than it costs to handle them in Kansas and at much greater profit.
