We do not believe the present system OF a1.alga-
nation is adequate. The arnalgdmatlng process IN
Chile is frequently continued fortnight III lot
of taings and there is no gold that can escape the
grasp OF the quicksilver when adequate opportunity
is given for anal gamation. We believe II is usual

The Indians.
In The Los Angeles Star of the LIST inst.
we find the following account OF an Indian massacre
that took place on the preceding Saturday
II seems u at Antonio, the Alcalde OF the Cahull-
las living IN this city applied TO the City Marshal
for permission TO play the PsOn within the limits of
the city The Marshal refused, from the fact that 1t
IS prohibited by city ordnance. The Aicalde
then applied to Juan ssGuysda who granted the
patrol IN order to prevent, If possible, any disturb
ance on the occasion The peon was held in front
OF the house OF lvaIra near the cemetery. During
the evening, an Indian known Dy the name OF Cay
ote, who was trading for some liquor with Ivanas
wife, endeavored to take bottle from her by force,
but was prevented by IvarTa, who undertook TO tie
him. TO take HIM TO Jail. Five or six Indians inter-
fered rescued Cayote, and abused lyarra IN various
ways The Indians then attacked the patrol, and
drove them the hill They also threw a frebrand
upon the house for the purpose OF burning It, and
dared the CalfOrnians to attack. Mr.. Sepulyeda,
finding that he could not contend with the Indians,
came down to town for assistance, and returned
with seven Americans. When the party reached the
ground, the Indians were on the side OF the hill,
yelling, and the Calitorlians called to the AmeTi-
cans TO come quickly to their aid The Indians con
tinued their endeay TO burn the house. and were
fred upon by the Americans and Cahfornians. The
firing was kept up for some five minutes, and until
TIE Sans took Shelter IN iSafras house Where
they were captured and conveyed TO the Iaii.
How many OF the Indians were killed Is perhaps,
not positively known. Eight bodies were piled up
before ivarra's house The number of Indians en-
in m n
100. The verdict of the COroners Jury was that "the
deceased came to their deaths while resisting the
Sherf's posse, and that the killing was Justihaoe'
The pe0n has always been fruitful source OF dis
turbance when held within the limits of the city, and
il is only few months since that 1t brought on
afiray in which some five or six Indians were killed.
The Indians who were arrested on the occasion,
were taken before Justice Maliard, fined 81 each,
and sentenced to receive 25 lashes.
