20199. The Arizona Sentinel, Yuma, Arizona Territory, August 3rd, 1878. Yuma to Prescott. (article)

The Arizona Sentinel Yuma, Arizona Territory August 3rd, 1878 Yuina to Prescott. The distance to Prescott, by the new road, are very nearly as follows: miles Yuma to Castle Dome 26 Castle Dome to Horse Tanks 29 Horse Tanks to Tyson’s Wells 33 Tyson’s Wells to Prescott via Date Creek 137 Total Distance 225 These distances are those estimated by stage men and parties who have been over the road. They are proba bly correct; erring, if at all, rather by making the distance too great than too short. As the crow flies, and as plotted on the maps, the distance from Yuma to Prescott is 190 miles. Thus, the foregoing figures allow for angles and turns of the road about thirty—five miles, which is ample.

The Arizona Sentinel Yuma, Arizona Territory May 24th, 1873 DISCOVERED.- We have it from und oubted authority, and the proof is conclusive, that “Chimehuevi Sal,” chief of the Date Creek Indians who were in search of human and other game in our vicinity a few weeks ago, was the leader of the band of fiends who murdered boring and party near Wickenburg in 1871. When capt ured, or when he surrenders with his band, he will, no doubt, be presented with an extra blanket, a Winchester rifle, and all the ammunition he wants.

20101. Arizona Citizen, Tucson, Pima County, A.T., Saturday, August 3rd, 1872. Gen. Howard's Report. Tuesday the 6th of May, found us (article)

Arizona Citizen Tucson, Pima County, AT. Saturday, August 3rd, 1872 GEN. HOWARD’S REPORT. Tuesday the 6th of May, found us at evening at the Camp Date Creek reservation. Here Lieutenant F.H.E. Ebstein, the agent strongly aided and supported by the post commander, Colonel O’Beirne, having comprehended the real plan of the Government, has succeeded by unremitting effort in keeping the Indians on the reservation during their days of great discontent. Their planting ground here is very limited, their clothing poor, the small children completely naked, and their condition generally gave the impression of want and past suffering. The increase in the rations had made them quite contented. I could not help thinking how little you have done for human beings when you merely give them food. The Indians here are mostly Mojave Apaches. Some Yuma Apaches and others are gathered here. The numbers altogether are eight to nine hundred. They represented their grievences and needs to me in a formal interview, much as at the other places, and after we had left them selected two young men to represent them in the Washington delagation. I was sorry Lieutenant Ebstein had not sent one of the captains, but these delagates seemed to satisfy the Indians, and let them come.
