Some of the Indians, it is said yelled at the troops in English. The Indians made an ineffectual attempt to capture the Major' s pack train.

The Arizona Miner Prescott, Arizona Territory June 5th, 1869 Northern Arizona as seen by a newcomer . ( from San Francisco Bulletin. ) FROM WICKENBURG TO PRESCOTT . From Wickenburg to Prescott it is about 60 miles by trail and 80 by the wagon road. The mail and most of the passen— gers go by the road. At Date Creek, 30 miles from Wickenburg, is a two—company military post. From this point towards Prescott the country improves in fertil— i ty and beauty, until when the vicinity of Prescott is reached it seems like a terrestrial paradise— mountains and valleys clothed with verdure , clear sparkling brooks , and dense forests of pine— a most agreeable contrast to what you leave behind.
