GARK'S REPORT
Of His Pursuit of fbe ApacIles
 Who Killed Smith.
lLos Ange'es Exprss.l

1 Gen. McCOok has jUst received the :ei,o-: 0: Liei.t. Ciisf:s. f0th Cavalry, who commanded the detachment of men and Indian scouts that has been in pursuit of the Indians that killed Chiquito smith st McGowsn's ranch on the 18th ut.
 Clark followed the trail for q week oTer the toughest section Of Arizona. Most of the time it was so rough that his meu could not ride their horses, and two of his troopers lost their horses, which rolled down pTecipices. On the 18th the Indian camp was dis covered on the east slope of the Chiri- cahus mountains. While the scouts were surrounding it one of them ex- posed himself and the party was dis covered and fired upon, the Indians in tine camp firing and disappearing.
 The scouts say they saw two In dians and recognized one of them as the Chiricahua named "Massay," wao fl will be remembered escaped from Geronimo's band at Springfield. Mo, in 1887, while en route to Mount Yer non barracks, Alabama, and who made his way on foot back to his native haunts in the Cl ir.c lhua mountains.
 The captured c; mp gave evidence of having been occupied for months aud large number of blankets, provisions and cooking utensils were captured. Apparently the Indians saved only their guns and ammunition.
 The trail could be followed only for a short distance, for it was soon lost among the rocks.

They have uncovered a big body of high-grade ore and are going ahead with shipments on big scale. The mine in question was hawked around Tucson for two years and offered fora 900. Dr. Peters took look at it; wouldn't pay Sl ,O0O for it but a S50,OO0 working bond WAS taken on his recommendation. They struck big body of lead ore before they had expended an hundred dollars on the property and although She embarrassment Of the Westinghouse company has crippled the work for the time being the new purchase will be the making of big mine.

So much has been said regarding the great wealth of the new county or Miles that il has interested one of our we'll known citizens to get at the ex- act figures. These points are taken from the tax roll and from the tally sheets as returned from the precincts in ihe proposed new county, and are not guess work, as the glaring mis- statements Of county diyisionists are

CAMPBELL,s COARsENEss.

The friends of Gov. Campbell must
regret sincerely his inability to keep his
temper under control. His brutal and
insane outbreak at East Liverpool, Ohio,
last Thursday evening has alienated
many of his staunchest supporters. Not
content with repeating assertions form
erly made by him at Toledo, that the
workingmen of East Liverpool "were the
most debased and worst abused men
in the S.ate, treated like swine
and herded like cattle and driven
to the polls to vote" he was so
carried away with passion by the ap-
plause that greeted his mention of the
name of Mckinley as to rave like a mad
man against the " impudent, incompe-
tent and disgraceful government of the
city of East Liverpool" while at his ell
bow sat the Democratic mayor, who was
acting as presiding officer, and who, as a
matter Of course, enjoyed the compli-
mentary expressions of the guest of the
evening.
The East Liverpool pottery manufac-
turers, whom Campbell accused of cut
ting down their employees wages since
the Mckinley tariff went into effect,
have drawn up plain-spoken open let
ter, in which they answer the reckless
charges made by the Governor, which
could have been inspired only by anger
that bordered on insanity, and which
will cost him votes from one end of the
state to the other.
That Campbell should have foamed at
the mouth when he heard Mckinley
cheered, shows that he anticipates only
too certainly the fate that next Tuesday
has in store for him, but it ought not to
be too much to ask that he take defeat
like a man, if not like a gentleman.

II was not TO be expected that Demo
cratic organs would lend the administra-
tion any support in the resolute stand il
has taken in the matter Of the Chilian
outrages. Yet ii has a peculiar look,
when murderous assaults are made upon
peaceable and unarmed American sea-
men in the streets Of Valparaiso, for
partisan newspapers TO accuse the gov
eminent which promptly reaches ont its
strong ann IN defence of its citizens Of
" magnifying a small matter for politi-
cal effect"
1t looks like a small matter, does it, to
partisan Democrats? Yet the patriotic
American, without regard TO lines of
party division, must rejoice sincerely
that the reins of government are in
hands prepared to vindicate the nations
honor when outraged in the persons Of
any of her citizens.
