We have here the best built and finest little town in Arizona; the dwellings of frame painted white, with good, substantial frame barns and outhouses; a store in healthy and prosperous condition. We have a good frame meeting house, also white, which is also our school house. Our meetings are well attended, also our day and Sunday schools, not forgetting the prosperous condition of our Primary and Relief Society.

We left St. George the last of Jnne 1883, and after an agreeable visit to Panguitch Lake and various settlements we returned to St. George to the fall conference and soon after bade adieu to our much cherished home, and the Temple and its pleasant associations. We had a very prosperous journey of 500 miles through an indescribable wilderness of sterile barrenness, and came to th is pi ace in good health and spirits, although tired, worn and weary. We jiere found most 'of; our family in some of the "most savage acts ever have been committed bitter branches.

Iii fact much credit is due to Cap-tai- n Atchison for his gallantry and hospitality, and I think I can say of the officers and company that their conduct as soldiers and men is, highly reputable, so much so knowing as I do the fatal result had the militia come, or riot -come; I can add that the Captain's safe return refreshed my mind with Xenophen's safe retreat . of the ten thousand.
