Tribute To A Fallen Pioneer .
We take the following from a letter written
at San Pedro under date of May 23d, by Mr
Tyson ,
a well—known Arizona miner and ex—
plorer, to a gentleman in this city:
"The news from Arizona is lamentable indeed .
We could have spared any other man in Arizona
better than our good—hearted, clear—headed ,
energetic, go—head Charley Cunningham. He
possessed more energy , indomitable persev—
erence and will, than any man in the Terri—
Cory. We have sustained a great and irrepar—
able loss in his death. Everyone who knew him
admired the numerous excellent qualities he
possessed: a generous, good man has fallen a
victim to the Apaches. All mingle tears of
sympathy with the truly bereaved and aff—
licted family. "
