Frontiers news recounts Apache raids on sheep and cattle herds, cavalry and army notes from Camp Apache and Tombstone, plus border disturbances in New Mexico and Arizona. Reports detail civilian fears, calls for tougher policy, and ongoing surveys of boundaries and monuments between the United States and Mexico.
Reports from Crook on March 1 detail orders for Capt Dougherty to lead four cavalry companies toward Crotten Springs to meet Lt Gatewood’s Indian scouts and pack train. A separate dispatch from Poniente notes ongoing Apache movements and ranger pursuits across New Mexico and Arizona.
The clumsy OCR reveals numbers like 321,000 and 280,000 tied to receipts, dividends, and year surplus, plus mentions of the Denver Rio Grande line and a winter journey. It also notes a personal travel note about a Mrs. Dutam or Duthtin and two daughters planning Asia travel under an invitation.
A muddled report describes rival politicians and executives in Mexico and the United States linking political factions to the Mexican Belt and Mexican Telephone Co. The Southern Pacific Railway plans purchases and rail connections between New Orleans, Morgan City, Galveston, and Texas ports. Coal deposits near Philadelphia are highlighted for quality and supply, with state attention drawn to new mining and transport developments powering regional staves and wood products.
A letter attacks Tombstone merchants for lacking enterprise and reader support for local papers. It criticizes the absence of goods sold and petitions merchants to back the press, urging civic help to strengthen the town’s bridges and fortunes. The notice also mentions territorial issues with mail and fishing for shells and crawfish atop Lookout Mountain and notes activity by the Territorial Democratic Committee.
Fragmentary OCR notes describe a planned organization for mine development, a multi day convention for a Colorado Pythias group, prize exhibitions in Santa Fe, a forger’s death foiling pursuit, a church subscription in Santa Fe, and occasional local incidents including missing horses and stolen items.
