The Arizona Miner Prescott, Arizona Territory October 10th, 1868 FROM LA PAZ. INDIANS THREATEN TO TAKE THE TOWN . Next mail may bring us bloody news from La Paz, but we hope not . At latest accounts the hostile Indians were reported to be about 25 miles below the town, marching to attack it. The citizens and some 70 or 80 Chemehuevi Indians were prepared to defend the place against the combined hostile force of Apache—Yumas , some 40 in etc . All the families— Apache—Mohave s , Yavapai s , number— had moved into Ravena's large store, pickets were placed outside the town and the Chemehuevis were actively scouting the country and advising their white friends of the movements of the at Tyson s well ; hostile Beach s teams were savages . Chenowith' s train had left and was en route to Prescott ; and Jake Miller Miller' s train was being loaded at La Paz, intended to start out as soon as possible, catch up with Beach's wagons and come on with them to Prescott. The situation at La Paz was anything but pleasant, and it is to be hoped that troops from forts Yuma or Mohave were despatched in time to help the citizens and their Indian allies to overawe or whip the recusants.

10039. The Arizona Miner, Prescott, Arizona Territory, May 9th, 1866. The Colorado Indians.

The Arizona Miner Prescott, Arizona Territory May 9th, 1866 THE COLORADO INDIANS . The trouble among the Colorado Indians Continues. The Mohaves and Yavapais in a recent fight with the Pah—Utes and Chemehuevis were defeated with a loss of twenty—f i ve killed - The tribes are equally worthless and indolent, and if there is no good prospect of getting them up on reservations it may be as well for them to wipe each other out. We trust the new agent, Mr- Fudge, will do something to regulate these redskins or abandon them entirely . The method of dealing with them hitherto has been calculated to excite their distrust and enmity rather than otherwise. Naturally lazy and shiftless they are, we know, a difficult people to civilize and make productive , but we are inclined to believe that with systematic care, kept upon reservations, and taught habits of industry, they may be made an advantage rather then an encumbrance to the whites. At present they are a first— class nuisance.
