The region around Precott Is disgustingly so, to our medicine men, who appear to have little to do about these days.

lint, Judging from the fact that they have commenced swarming around many settlements, wo fear that, cro long, they will commence anew their business of killing nnd plundering, nud we advise our people to be on the look out for them. Xol long ngo, Messrs. Herbert, Buck-man and Slancbrook, white huutlug lu the vicinity of Ferguson Valley, near the Prescott and La Yar. waj-on-road, saw three Indians, besides any quantity of "fresh tracks." They did not get near enough to the Indians to shoot at them. Sunday night last, "Uncle" Billy Pointer, while going from Prcscott to Walker' Camp, at tho head of Lynx Creek, saw, uear the Yellow Jacket gulch, a huge lire uud smoke rise up.

Parties recently from Skull and Klrkland valleys report Indians plenty down that way. They are around, sure, uud there I no telling when or where they will strike the llrst blow. Militant Ukvirw.
