REWSlTING TIE SCENES OF HIS EARLY ARMY LIFE
General E. D. Thomas, Commanding the Department of the Colorado Ar rived in Phoenix Yesterday.

General F.. D. Thomas, commanding the department of the Colorado, arriv- cd in the ciU yesterday accompanied by his aide. Lieutenant R r. Rifen- berick. in a tour of the posts within <nis department. After leaving Whip pie, General Thomas spent a day on Date Creek hunting. accompanied by Judge Sloan. Major Foster. command ing at Whipple. Paul Burks and Lieu tenant Rifenberick The hunt was suc- cessfUl and General Thomas caught the afternoon train into Phoenix Major Foster who had already broken the record. had his hunting blood up and missed the train, arriving later on a freight General Thomas and Lieutenant Rifenberick life last night for Huachuca.
 General Thomas is one of the brave and grfzzled fighters of the United States army having been continuously connected with the army for just for ty years He first came to the terri tory in 1874 as a lieutenant in the Fifth Cavalry and was stationed at Camp McDowell. He took part that year in one of the bloodiest battles
 
 Superstition mountains in which eighty-five Indians were killed and twenty taken prisoners. The Indians were the Tonto Apaches and the Ara vaipa Apaches. who had been overrun- ming the country until they were driv en into the mountain fastness in the Expectations. There was never very much trouble with the Apaches after that. in this part of the country. all though the Geronimo and other bloody raids occurred in the south and east afterward.
 The officers engaged in that fight were Major Brown, Capt, Burns, Lieu tenant Olney, Lieutenant Thomas and Lieutenants Ross and Burk. the two latter. aids to General Crook. Gencr- al Thomas is the only officer surviv- ing. The scouts were Al Seibcr and Mcintyre. both dead.
 When General Thomas came to Me Dowcll there were only two houses in Phoenix While he was stationed at that post he bought twenty eight lots in Phoenix. one of them being on what is now the city hall plaza, and another in the block where the Noble building is being erected. The others were scattered about in what is now the business part of the town.
 General Thomas was transferred to one of the northern posts and never got back into this part of the coun- try. He learned nothing of the pro- gress being made here. and as the town was not very promising one when he last saw if he was ca silly in- duced to part with his property at a considerable profit.
 When it was suggested to him that if he had held on until now, his hold ings would have been of great value he concurred. but added that the pio- neer seldom holds on. The profits afe usually divided among those who fol- low the blaZed trail

OVER THE MOUNTAIN.

"They viii quiet down when we
get to the foot Of the mountain" re-
marked Mr.. Staples as he rode at
our side. And they did. DR.. J.
Alexander Lewis was riding with all
OF the ease OF a veteran. His long
overcoat which had no slit in tae
rear part was rolled up on the back
OF that horse like an army blanket.
Well, that was a mountain. 1t
was about as steep as the most fas-
tidious wall fly could desire. The
horses were good climbers. The
road was rough and muddy. The
constant tendency of the saddle was
to go to the hindquarters of the
horse.
