Year: 1876

We saw very fine piece of silver
bullion at E. N. Fish u Co. % Office on
Wednesday last. The piece weighed
one hundred and thirty three ounces
and was one third of the product of
ton of Old Mine ore, worked at the
Ostrich mill. The metal was very
pure, but had not been assayed aud
we do not know its value. 1t was
shipped to San Francisco. On Thurs
day the same firm received from the
Ostrich mill another large piece Of sill
yer bullion, similar in weight and ap-
pearance to the above This was OBJ
tained from Trench ore and was ship
ped to San Francisco.


1t is told us that General James
Oakes, Colonel sixth Cavalry, and
commanding Camp Lowell, who had
lately been ordered on some service
away from his command, upon learn
ing that his regiment was to be or
dered into the field with q chance of
some Indian service Immediately
asked to have a chance to lead his reg
iment on such service as they miPht
be ordered. We may be misinformed,
but it agrees with number of other
good things we have heard of this of
ficer and sounds very much like him.


1t is reported that orders from mill
tary headquarters have been received
at the various posts in Southern Ari-
zona which will probably result in
the concentration of troops at conven-
lent points to be prepared to immedi-
ately and effectually suppress any re-
sistance of the Ch,ricahua Indians to
their transfer to the San Carlos. The
people may rest assured that every
thing is working in harmony. 1t is
now believed that there will be little
or no trouble; the movement Of troops
is to guard the settlers against any
possible danger and with military
commander directing matters who un-
derstands the situation and Is in SYM
pathy with the people, the latter may
feel confident that the only remaining
Indian trouble ia Arizona Is about to
be finally settled.


We have heard some expressions
that General Kautz was too slow In
his military movementsin our Indian
difficulties. So it was thought of Gen.
ernl Grant when every one was crying
ION to Richmond" It was found in
the end that he knew best. We have
reason for believing that Gen. Kautz
will be found on time and on deck at
the proper moment, and also that he
and Agent Clum and the people are
of one mind and will work together in
perfect harmony to correct great
wrong, and at the same time to pre-
vent If possible bloodshed.


The Papago women are now bring
ing in their Spring crop of. ollas.
These industrious, virtuous and good
women work very hard, and among
the products of their work are these
highly useful ollas, about the incest
water vessels, we think, that the
world contains. The women bring
them to town in stacks on their backs.
The ollas are of all sizes, from the lit
tie ola for a cent to the immense ola
for dollar to a Mexican purchaser
and two dollars and half to an Amer
ican.> We saw Papago woman COM
ing down the street the other day with
a stack of ollas on her back number
ing, we should think, eight or nine
hundred. There was o tremendous
one on top. Just as she got opposite
US the top ola fell over, mouth fore
most and went down over the head,
shoulders and body of that woman
and rested on the ground,as complete
ly shutting the woman in from con-
TACT with the outside world as if her
husband owned a soap factory and she
o coupled, with her silks, first class
private pew in fashionable church
and praised God in the most aristo-
cratic manner for all her patchouly
scented blessings.
