Arizona Miner

The officers and soldiers north of the Gila are doing their best to secure peace and security to our people, and we hope Government will back them up in the good work.

The recent scout made by General Devin and command accomplished great good for the country, as will be seen ere long. Officers, guides and soldiers have learned a great deal in regard to the home of the Apaches, and it is the intention of the Commanding General to turn it to good advantage.

A post will no doubt be established, this summer, on the San Carlos, a road will be made from Camp Lincoln to it, white settlers will follow the troops, and another wave of civilization will roll eastward into the delightful country now cursed by the Apache.

The soldiers are perfectly delighted with the country visited by them and say that it surpasses in beauty, even this. Those of them who last year, while scouting in the Wallapai mountains, came near dying of thirst, pronounce Eastern Arizona a paradise, with timber, water and grass in abundance.

Mr. Ed. Peck, chief guide for the expedition, informs us that he saw on the trip, some very good looking gold country, and some of the soldiers say they found gold.
