Phoenix Gazette, February 1871
George Hunt sent his "Kid" reward
bill through the house yesterday, and it
will no doubt be passed by the council
with slight amendment. Mr.. Hunt
had the honor of getting the first bill
passed in the house this session, and it
is good one. By this bill reward of
$4,000 will be paid for the capture, dead
or alive, of one of the most murderous
Indians that ever lived, and no price is
too great to pay for him in any condi-
ton.
What Arizona wants ia statehood and
free silver. She has Democratic ad-
ministration. With these favorable in
fuences the desert will blossom and
bloom, and the country will meet wave
of prosperity, the like of which it has
never experienced. Its statehood will
give capitalists courage to invest; and
its free silver will develop industries,
the like of which no other state knows.
Tom Cochran, the veteran miner, is
back from the Phoenix mine, confirming
previous reports about the greatness of
that property. Eighty stamps are to be
put in at once, but there is enough pay
dirt to wear out many hundred times
eighty stamps.
