The Arizona Miner
Prescott, Arizona Territory
April 30th, 1870
From Camp Date Creek.
Our correspondent at this place, writing under date of
the 25th inst., says:
at this post, is at present very dull . No
" News ,
Indians have been seen since Mr Dorgan was wounded .
There are plenty of sign in the mountains around the
post.
The farmers in this section are praying for rain. The
barley would yield a fair crop if it was to rain about
two or three inches. Mining matters progress slowly. We
will have, to—morrow, two parties at work on our lodes ,
and in a short time will know what they are worth.
Lieut. Upham with a portion of the First Cavalry, left
here this morning, from him we learned that there will
be no cavalry company stationed at this post. We are
very much disgusted, as in the opinion of every un—
prejudiced person , this point is more in need of
cavalry than any post in the sub—district. As we cannot
help ourselves we can only indulge in the customary
army growl, which I assure you, is the sentiment of the
entire population of this section of the world, both
military and citizens.
