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.

10223. The Arizona Miner, Prescott, Arizona Territory, April 2nd, 1870. Local Intelligence. Errors - These annoying things crop up in almost every newspaper

The Arizona Miner Prescott, Arizona Territory April 2nd, 1870 Local Intelligence . These annoying things crop out ERRORS .- and it is in almost every newspaper , strange that they are scarcely ever seen until " the paper is worked off . " The local columns of last week' s MINER con— tained three errors which we now wish to correct, if it is not too late. In the account of the Indian fight near Camp Date Creek, the types made us say William when it was Rice guided the troops , Willard who did it. Next, in speaking of the arrival of passengers , by Grant ' s stage, G. C. Wiggins was rendered "G. C. Higgins , but the stage agent at Wicken— burg is responsible for this, he having written "Higgins" on the way—bill . The other error occurred by stating that Mr Richmond was building a house on the south side of the plaza, when said house is on the east side of said goat pasture We lay the blame for this last error on the compositor .

The Arizona Miner Prescott, Arizona Territory March 26th, 1870 Local Intelligence. From Camp Date Creek Killing of Two Indians . Not long since, Indians stole several head of cattle from a herd in the vicinity of Martinez's Ranch, and it being brought to the notice of the commanding officer at Camp Date Creek, Lieutenant Cluley, with 30 enlisted men and a few citizens, were sent to the mountains, with orders to hunt Johnny Apache, and, if possible , drub him for the offense. The little command was under the guidance of William Rice, who, with one or two others, left it on the evening of the 14th inst. , and started on a scout. Rice and his companions had not proceeded far before they discovered, at the bottom of a deep and torturous canyon, near Sol 's Wash, what was evidently a fire. After satisfying themselves thoroughly upon this point, they returned to the command, reported their lucky discovery to the Lieutenant, who immediately set his men in motion, and, upon arriving as near the place as caution would admit, posted the little force around what he and they supposed to be a rancheria, containing many Indians. The night was a cold one, and the men, in order to keep from freezing, frequently stole softly from their positions in the rocks, retreated back out of hearing of the Indians, and warmed themselves by running and jumping. Daylight soon came, however, and, the men being in with " They did sor word was given to let loose position , alacrity and the greatest of pleasure, but were surprised to learn that there were but two Indians in the "rancher i a. " Short work was made of the two savages, and the command returned to camp.
