LETTER FROM LOS ANGELES.Los Angeles, Cal., May G, 1872.

Knnweat tbon the land where the lemon trees bloom,,C troMg ffrow. in the thicket'-- gloom,where the lips of the maidens are coleur dt rotAtnt the y.aths are not 'paches, freawrs, nor Sioux!Well, no ; I expect you have been too long

hi Arizona to remember.I might have dated this letter in Heaven,

in consideration of the fact that I am amongthe angels, but concluded that it might be aswell to conform to the somewhut absurdthough modest custom observed here, of ob-serving the less sublime cognomen writtenabove.

But to return to Arizona, for the paescnt,and revert to California at the proper timeand place in this letter:

On the way from Prescott to Camp DateCreek we were delighted to witness the fairprospects of the farmers of Central Arizona.

E.I IJowers' extensive ranch, looked asgreen and beautiful as a strawberry patch,albeit some 50 or 00 head of cattle were thereengaged at the work of preparing themselvesfor the slaughter. At Kirkland Valley, wefound the agricultural prospects still asbright. Here at least, there seemed not anydeartli of water for the purpose of irrigation.A large (tsequi, flowing brimful of water, runsparallel with the road and constitutes theboundary of the cultivated fields throughoutnearly the whole extent of the valley.

Prepared for War.P-rh- aps you may be inclined to think that

in liie presence of such scenes we becameoblivious of the existence, along the route, ofy e noble "reds," but such is not the case. An-ticipating the possibility of sickness on theway, we took aboard, before leaving Prescott,a large stock of medicine, technically termedfiin'ii8 frumenti. You will understand thatone of the effects of this medicine on thesystem is to induce the belief within thebosom of a White man that he is equal, inprowess, to about a score of Indians. It is adelightful sensation, and thus pervaded yourfriend Mr. B. and the writer as we immergedinto Hell's Canon. Dr. T., the other passen-ger, would not, however, use the prescription,and hence a dilemma was the result Unlesswe might endow him with courage somewhatakin to our own, we feared for his safety incase of an attack. Well, we surmounted thedifficulty in this wise: Seeing that he wouldnot be induced to use the medicine, we pro-cured him a blood-and-thund- er novel" Scalping Jack," I think it was entitledann after he had read a few pages he.grewjKirfectly blood-thirst- y, and thus with anuniversal sanguinary spirit at a red hot tcm-jer:itur- e,

we passed through Bell's Canonspurning the very rocks beneath our feet.

At Wickonburg,We had the pleasure of meeting with Dr.Pierson, A. H. Peeples and other notable Ari-zona- ns.

The Doctor, as Arizonans all know,is the manager of Jas. Grant's Stage Line toSat Bernardino. I feel it due to his courtesyami general efficiency, as a gentleman and abusiness man, to say that he is as worthy ofthe position as the latter is of him.

Ehrenberg.lint, for disinterested hospitality commend

me to the enterprising town of Ehrenberg, onthe Colorado. The grandest surprise in storefor me between Prescott and Los Angeles,was this young city. 1 expected to find, atmot, a few well-fille- d stores and, perhaps, afew private residences ; but I found these andmuch more stores, wholesale and retail;salens, the best hotel that it has ever beenmy tortune to find in Arizona, etc, etc.

Grant's Stage Line.

atong the first enterprises of Arizona istin Mail and Express Line of Mr. JamesGrant At present, the route is well stockedin every sense of the term. The coaches arecommodious ; the drivers ex officio conduc-

tors gentlemanly and accommodating, andthe fare for passengers as reasonable as canbe expected.

The DesertBetween the Colorado river and San Ber-

nardino, for nearly the entire distance, thetr lveler beholds one of the most God-forsak- en

tracts of country which creative powerever raised above the seaa lifeless, desolatewaste, incapable throughout its greatesc?"tent of producing even a solitary shrub. Thisis itideed the abiding place of all that is des-

olate and forbidding. Better live foreveramong the savages of Arizona or die at theirhands, than accumulate a fortune at any ofthe stations, on this " Sahara," should it butoccupy a few years of ones life to do so.

San Bernardino.

This is a very beautiful though not a verylively town. The buildings are principally ofbrick, two and three stories high. Artesianwells, sending forth streams of clear, cold

water, are seen on every hand, and impart life

and virror to the numerous orchards, vineyardsand gardens which constitute so delightful afeature of San Bernardino.

LETTER PROM PHCENIX.PitcEKrx, 3Iaricopa County, A. T.,

fMay iuth, lb2.Editor of the Arizona Miner:

Of late years picnics are very fashionable,and, with the exception of a few old fogieswho desire to see others as miserable as them-selves, all classes of society regard them asan innocent, healthy source of amusement.

On the first of May a right merry party ofabout one hundred persons, old and youiv,male and female, met in a grove within threemiles of town, to celebrate the day, picnicfashion. The preliminary shaking of hands,asking after health and babies, crops, dogs,and ot her interesting subjects, being finished,E. Irvine was chosen chairman, singing andprayer was offered by Rev. F. McKean. MissFlora Murray and Master Neri Osborne eachrecited very creditably. Then Bev. F. Mc-Kean gavejan address. After this all flocked tothe table which groaned and regroaned underthe piles of edibles with which it was loaded.Being something of a judge and a little bitof an epicure I will say this for the dinner,that it was excellent and reflects great cred-it on the ladies who got it up. Fowl, fruits,cake, pastry, fish and meats in every stylewere had in abundance, and candies in pro-fusion. The puns and merry-makin- g whichfollowed the setting of the table, were onlyequalled by the amount of good eating, theformer defying dyspepsia, the latter promis-ing gout.

After dinner, such a laughing and crackingof jokes and swinging and interchanging ofkisses (candy kisses) and so much sociabilityas never was had before, and never will beagain. There was a general haw-ha- w whenthe Parson fell out of the swing and a quiet-er titter when the yonng lady screamed, anda pressing of hand and a beating of heartsand looks of love. And, all this, too, outfrom any settlement in this Godforsakencountry, Arizona, given over by Colycr andhis admirers to the Devil and the Apaches.And so time flew apace, the horses and muleswere yoked to the wagons and we left witha sigh. As we drove off we saw one of theparsons climbing a tree after a rope; we hopehe did not contemplate suicide.

On Saturday last, Gen. Howard and theRev. Mr. Smith arrived at East Phoenix andleft on Monday, for Wickcnburg. On Sun-day morning Mr. Smith held religious servicein the court-hous- e. After which Gen. How-ard explained his view6 to the people. Hesaid that it is the polic' of the Governmentto compel the Apaches to stay on reserva-tions, and there teach and civilize them; thatall Indians found off reservations arc to bepursued and put to death if necessary; thatthe Government is able to do this and will doit as effectually as such a thing is possibleHe referred to the frauds committed by In-

dian Agents and the misconduct and criminalinactivity of army officers, which he de-

nounced in the severest terms, said that a bet-

ter state of affairs was being inaugurated,that the old officers were being withdrawnfrom the Territory and a better class weretaking their place, butthatshould any of thenow prove derelict in their duty the' wouldbe displaced immediately. In regard to Gen.Crook, he says, that officer should have themanagement of the details of the depart-ment in his own hands, that as soon as hesaw Crook" he would unshackle him as far asable and on reaching Washington would ad-

vise tho President and Cabinet to let him(Crook) have the sole control of militaryaffairs in the Territory, as he would be morelikely to know our wants here than any per-

son at Washington.On Sunday, Judge Tweed arrived in town

to hold District Court. J. K. McCaflry andJudge Rush arrived on Monday.

Monday, Gti District Court of the ThirdJudicial District in and for the county ofMaricopa, opened. The following calendarwas read informally :

Bear Hunt.IPnuns Co. UI," 5th Cava i. nr.

Akivatai SrniNcs, April 25, 1S72. J

Editor Arizona Miner :Should the following not very graphic ac-

count of our first successful raid on "bears,'in this Territory, prove of interest, a placein the columns of your paper is solicited,that our friends throughout the Regimentma)' know that Company I is still extant.

For some time past the ricinity of our camphas been infested with bears, anil as a naturalconsequence various hunting parties havebeen organized to enquire into the state oftheir health, liver, &c. ; but, until last night,all our attempts to introduce them to campproved futile.

Yesterday evening, .after "retreat." Sergt.Wright, Corporals Lyons and Olmstead, to-

gether with Privates Kennedy, (alia TheBruin of Company I), ilayday, Garican andHosp. Steward Sheridan, (a necessary adjunctto the "perilons" expedition), solicited andobtained permission to "go for" Mr. Bear.Having in the clear moonlight found a trail,apparently just made, a large mess of refusemeat was laid and the party separated, oneportion, coon fashion, taking to the highbranches of a convenient tree, as a lookout;the remainder, Corporal Olmstead, PrivatesHayday and Garican, like bashful Irishmen," kept beating about the bush."

Thus passed a long two hours, (with a lit-tle more zest, however, than walking "post"),fraught with anxiety, but with a determina-tion to "fight it out on that line if it took allnight." Suddenly the welcome word fromthe lookout in the tree tops : " there are twolarge bears coming tip the anion, in the mid-dle of the water look out," was wafted toour ears by the gentle breeze. All were nowon the qui vice. Cautiously and silently weadvanced, and IrTTTTew' moments we foundourselves within thirty feet of them. Pri-vates Hayday and Garican, being in the advance, could not resist the temptation to lire,without waiting for their comrades, andaimed for the spine of the largest one, withsuch precision that both balls entered it, notone-eight- h of an inch apart. As the shotswere fired, the remainder of the party cameup, and none too soon, ns the wounded ani-

mal showed fight. jflis mate beat a hasty re-

treat, leaving him inlonc to his fate, "woman'srights" fashion. With the "tender feelings"so natural to their sex, I suppose she is nowengaged amongst her kin, lauding his manyvirtues and bewailing his sad fate, j'et keep-ing a sharp eye about for another to fill thethe void in her ''breaking" heart.

The only visible emotion exhibited was byhis "mate" of this Company, Private K.Tears flowed copiously, especially when hetried tb lift the frontpaw of the defunctbear, and could not, and remembered that wehad one mile and a half to carry him to camp,through deep sand, and up a steep hill ; butall put their shoulders to it with a will, andup he came, landing him safely at the "guard-house," (not occupied except by the Guard,since we came here.) Adjudged by our highlyesteemed commanding officer, 1st LieutenantBernard Reilly, jr., not a sufficiently dan-gerous case to commit to that institution, hewas turned over to the tender mercies of thebutcher, and to-da- y is being spent in "confin-ing" hiin elsewhere. Cleaned and dressed forthe table, he weighed 478 lbs.

His "robe," complete, with claws four anda half or five inches long, was presented toLieut. Reiley, as a token of the high esteemin which he is held by tho members of thecompany, who is going to have it tinned,and keep it as a memento of Camp " Reilly,"and Company I, 5th Cavalry. Hideiinia.

Sargent's Mining Bill.Sargent, of California, has introduced a bill

in the House which has some very objection-able features on which the Press of the Pa-cific Coast comment 4pointcdly. The bill pro-vides that parties applying for a patent to aquartz lode may claim G00 feet in width onthe surface of the ground, with the right toall lodes found within those lines, and a rightto hold lode and placer claims under the samepatent.

The disposition to legislate in Congressconcerning mines seems to be on the increase,and unless carefully watched, may result inplacing the mining interests of our country intbe hands of monopolists as the railroadsseem to be tending.

We believe that any legislation that com-pels the prospector, who is proverbially poor,to perforin an unreasonable amount of workin order to retain possession of the mines hemay discover, is unjust, while it is unwise toallow him or his assigns to hold tracts of landCOO feet in width along the course of any onelode.

The law now in force allowing 200 feet inwidth only, for each claim, with 200 feet extrato the discoverer, and a reasonable quantityofground upon each side of the lode for work-ing purnoses, is liberal enough, and has givensatisfaction to the miners generally.

That the law might be amended in somedetails we coincide, but do not think the pas-sage of Sargent's bill would help the mininginterests of the country.

A Paying Institution.The Atlantic cable is a good thing to own.

According to the report of the company own-ing it, thore was a net profit of a million dol-

lars on lost year's work. Out of every 4 re-

ceived for tho transmissidn of messages, 3were clear profit. The dividend was 10 percent, for tho year, after reserving a quarterofa million dollars for a renewal fund. It isthought that a fourth cable would lead to areduction of the tariff from $10 to less than454-fb- r every ten words, and still leave profitenough on the investment Hence there is agreat desire, in this country, and in Europe, tosee that fourth cable safely laid.

Affairs in Arizona."Frutn the Republican. St.ktuti, CaAibreiu.j

A few days ago, we had the pleasure ofmvctxng an old time acquaintance John G.Campbell who is now a leading merchantof Prescott, Arizona, and is well and favorablyknown throughout the Territory. Sir. Camp-bell has resided in Prescott for the pasteight years; he is now Chairman of the Boardof Supervisors of Yavapai county, and hastwice represented his county in the Tcrrito-ri.- d

Council. He is thoroughly conversantwith the wants ami unhappily familiar withthe ills which have oppressed Arizona throughthe worse than no Indian policy which theGovernment has pursued for years past. TheApache Indians roam all over the Territoryin sm?.il bands, murdering and robbing thepeople wherever an opportunit to do so withsafety presents itself. The country generallyis rough, rugged and mountainous. It is fullof canyons and fastnesses in which the Indiansfamiliar with the ground and surroundings,waylay and murdcrull who have the temerityor hardihood to venture beyond the confinesof the towns. The rancher or stock-herde- r,

who has the enterprise and bravery to pushout a little beyond musket range of the mil-

itary stations, is ambushed and shot down,and even now it is not safe to venture alonea mile outside the town of Prescott. Peo-

ple may say "Well, what of it; thisjs-th-e

cose in all new countries always the casewhen the white man pushes himself into thered man's country ?" We concede that it isalways the rase "at first, but the struggle issoon ended ; either the white man goes backor the rcdman moves on to the westward orthe " pale realms," but we of California, yes,and they who stand at the head of the nation-al government, know but too well that thisstruggle for mastery this war of extermina-tion between the white men of Arizona andthe Apache Indians has been going on for fif-

teen years. We of California and they whostand at the head of our Government knowand the knowledge should redden with theblush of shame the cheek of every honest cit-

izen that the Government alone is respon-sible for the hundreds and hundreds of livessacrificed to the rapacity of rascally agentsacting under the direction of an ignorant or aknavish commissioner. The peace policy ofColycr had no foundation in fact or sincerity.There was money in it, and tho people weremurdered while the peace policy paid. Co-

lycr has left retired on a fortune coined fromthe blood of Arizona's citizens and anotherman, who knows more about the appropria-tions and profits of sub-contrac- ts than he docsof the Indian character, has taken his place.The peace policy will be pursued while Con-

gress continues to make Indian appropriations.The Indian policy of Arizona is well knownto be a speculative policy conducted and man-

aged by a set of men who pretend a moralityto cover up a real rascality. The Governmentoffers no protection to the settler of Arizonaagainst the Indians. It docs worse than this,it enables the Indian to prosecute his relent-less warfare against the white man by fur-

nishing liim with anus and ammunition, andthen protecting him from the wrath of thosewho would deal out summary justice to thesneaking, cowardly thieves. We speak thesentiments of nine-tent- hs of the people ofArizona when we say that an active, aggres-sive policy against the Indians is de-sire-

d.

They realize the utter futility of attempts tocivilize a race of vagabond thieves and mur-

derers whose instinct to rob, murder and pil-

lage is only equaled by their cowardice.These are not the sentiments of Mr Campbell.He did not so express himself, butin ourcon-vcrsatio- n

with him we learned that the peo-

ple of all Arizona are weary of waiting forprotection, and that they have almost despair-ed of ever receiving from the general Govern-

ment that assistance which no other govern-ment in the world has withheld from its people.In the United States human life is made asccondarj' consideration to official gam, greed,robbery and plunder. i

A Successful Newspaper.The Union, of Walla Walla, Washington

Territory, has completed its fourth year, andits editor gives half n column of retrospectiveand prospective viows, referring to his trialsand success, and the advancement of tho Ter-ritory, and claims that, so far, he is satisfied.The Union is a live paper and deserves wellof its patrons. 'Tis no cay task to maintaina good paper in anew country, and many whostart one with high hopes, fail to realize suc-

cess such as attends the Union.

The Arizona Miner, published at PrescottA. T., is one of the neatest and cprightliestof our exchanges, and a credit to the coast aswell as to the Territory. Mr. Marion, its ed-
