The Arizona Miner
Prescott, Arizona Territory
July 3rd, 1869
Military, — A gentleman just arrived from
Camp Date Creek, informs us that Major
with his Company, B, of the 8th
Wade ,
Cavalry, had returned to the post from a
scout in the Hacquehila Mountains, where
the command saw plenty of Indians, whom
they could not get near enough to kill.
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. We earnestly
hope that the large force now out
hunting Indians from Camp Devin, will
run afoul of these savages ,
and give
them fits....
Nothing has been heard
from Captain Hobart's command, (L Eighth
Cavalry,) since it left Fort Whipple.

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.
