Dr. C. H. Meters informs us that less fever prevails this than any recent year at this season, and that the general health is above an average. Those who are buying grain in this market, say barley is rating at 2 cash and three cents per pound in goods.

iheee are about the rates ot one year ago. The Citizen Office having a first class machine press and good material, is now prepared to print cards, billheads, circulars, blanks, etc in neat style, with promptness and at low rates.

attention of business men and shippers to Arizona, is directed to the ad vertisement of Uulverwell to orres ol San Diego. All steamers laud at their own wharf, and they are also agents for the coast steamers. Their reputation for promptness and reliability is high. C. O.

Bbown will soon have fitted up the most convenient billiard, drinking and sporting saloon in Arizona, if indeed it can be surpassedat all. Every department will be in a manner separate. He will also soon have half a dozen cosy rooms with good beds for transient customers. Constable Miller talks of resigning his several official positions in town and accepting of some one at the Grant Agency he thinks to teacli the Apaches what he knowB about farming. The Apaehes have several times taught him what they know about burning stations snd murdering the inmates and robbing generally, and him in particular.

About two years ago, he was comfortably located at Cicnega Station, but the Apache depredations there were so frequent and disastrous that to save his life and family he abandoned the place for saiety in town. During the stay of Department Inspec tor Major Brown in this part of Arizona, he exhibited such interest and prompt action in affording protection to the exposed settlers, that he won compliments on all sides. To afford him a little diversion and as a mark of respect, a dancing party was given at the Governor's mansion last Saturday evening. It was intended to have it the previous evening, but the glorious rain was too heavy, aud hence deferred. The attendance was general and the enjoyment likewise.

All the participants, so far as we could see or learn, were loud in their praises of the occasion, and wondered why the same kind were not more frequent. Mnssus. A. L. Zeckendohf have sent to our office samples of soap from their factory in Tucson, which are white and appear to be of first rate quality.

A card attached, says the wholesale price is fifteen cents per bar, and that California bars weighing four ounces less, are sold at twenty cents each. This is a large difference on the saving side, and presuming the qualities are about equal, the Tucson ar ticle must soon supply this market. It is surely a hopeful sign of prosperity to see our market supplied with a prominent article of use by a home manufactory. We are also informed that the Messrs. Zecken- dorf intend to engage in the manufacture of candles.

Right here, we mav remark that when in Philadelphia, Mr. E. Ochoa examined into several kinds of manufactures, and among others, became well convinced that the woolen goods for Arizona and much of oonora, could and ought to be made to a fine profit in Tucson, and he may start tue. business here. Pbbsonals.

Mr. H. C. nooker, lately arrived from California, started back that way on Tuesday on beef business. Mr.

George Tyng, of the Government beef contractors, got here from Prcscott last Saturday and lclt for Grant on lhurs day. Mr. C. P. Head, Government grain con tractor, and Mr.

Grover, of Phenix, were in town this week a few days. They went to Grant on Thursday and returned here tniB morning. About the middle of the week Charles n. Shibell left for Yuma in charge of M. I.

Jacobs fc freight train. Mayor DeLong has returned from a trip with grain to Grant. The train was loaded for San Carlos, but all idea of a post there being abandoned, the grain was sent to uraut, which may or niay not be contin ued as a military post. Mr. JamcB II.

Toole, bo well and favor ably known in lucson, was Washincr ton the last of May, and carlv in June was in New Yark and Philadelphia. He was very much improved in health, in fact was stout and hearty, aud he was quite an in valid at the time of his departure last March. He will return to Tucson in September or October. Major Brown and Mr. E.

N. Fish did not get away as, expected on Saturday, for the Gila and Salt river settlements and Mc Dowell, but did go on Sunday. Chief Justice John Titus will be in Tuc son a couple of weeks prior to the open ing day of the October term of the District Court. Charles Kenyon, Superintendent Of -Moore to Uarr's stages between here and Yuma got into town this morning. This line is in prompt working order.

A letter received yesterday fro Camp) Crittenden, contains these tails of Indian and military mo monts in that vicinity Last Saturday morning, Mr.

bona, on his way to Crittenden frl Hushes ranch, saw the tracks wharo Indians had driven some ton head cattlo by and within 300 yards of t' Post, in the direction of tho "Whe stone Mountains. Word was sent Lieutenant Hall, Fifth Cavalry, com' mandmg the Post, and in ten minutes after getting it, ho and ten men were in the saddles on the trail, which they followed 35 miles eastward into tho mountains, whoro ho found them strongly posted 200 feet abovo tho troops'- position. After fighting for some time, the troops were compelled to withdraw, the Indians boing too strong and well fortified to bo dislodged by tho small force. In tho engagement, first Sorgeant Learnord was wounded in one foot, and William Porter quite severely through tho right shoulder. One horse was killed and one wounded.

Mr. Gabena -who went along as guide, reports hard and bravo fighting by Lieutenant Hall and men. The little command expecting to overtake the Indians near tho Post, did not take rations along, and were in consequence 40 hours in tho saddle without food. Tho citizens about Crittenden are delighted with the prompt action taken by Lieutenant Hall, and say he is of the right spirit. It is very rare that an earnest effort to find Indians in tho "Whetstone and surrounding mountains is a failure, but too often are found in too great force, and not being dislodged or punished, continue to depredato at their pleasure.

In this case, it seems the Indians must have been at home," for women and children were seen with tho warriors during the en gagement. Pinal and Other MInesj. Over two months ago, Messrs Bichard Co. shipped five tons of Silver Queen ore to San Francisco. It was sold for shipment to England.

Tho price obtained per ton for two tons, was 200, and for three tons, 145. Now here are encouraging although not showing the exact worth of the ore. It is certain tho purchasers made ample allowance for iuteres. on their money and profit for handling; From what we hear of the quantity 6f these ores, these sales aro hopeful indexes of tho future of Pinal Dis trict, for savage thieves and murder ers cannot be allowed to hold sway over it many years longer, and cheaper transportation is sure to bo had. Recent results from Bradshaw and ores aro equally cheerful, and the impression is taking hold of shrewd mining operators abroad that the mines of Arizona aro all their owners here have represented them.

It will also be borne in mind that many tons of ore from Leo Scott's Aquilla mino nine miles west of Tucson, have been shipped to San Fran cisco and gave good rosults. Not long since Mr. C. O. Brown had some assayS'inade in San Francisco, of ore obtained south of Tucson, which showed it to bo worth over 10,000 per ton.

Thus, from all parts of tho Territory, aro thG evidences of mineral wealth accumulating. "With safety for labor and transportation, and both reduced cost as they will bo in a few years, tho yield of precious metals will bo largely increased by Arizona's products. Tnn new arrangement of the Panama steamers is a permanent one as we are officially advised, and San Diego and San Pedro will be called at on both up and down A'oyages. Excepting when the day is Sunday, then on the Saturday previous, the steamers will leave San Francisco on the 3d, 13th and 23d, and New York on the 10th, 20th and SOth of every month. In a very time, the company will despatch a small steamer once a month for San Diego, touching at all way ports of importance.

This is good news lor Arizona as well as our nciglibors in southern California. C. P. Taggart is Agent at San Diego. Richard M.

Hargrave, "who killed Ignacio Rnbio on July 1, was found guilty of murder 'on frial in irroscotc, July 11. So says Tho Miner. TO THE PUBLIC.
