the San Francisco papers states that Bishop
Laney, in charge Of the Roman Catholic
Diocese Of New Mexico and Arizona, with
ten priests and six sisters Of charity, from
the States, on their way to Santa Fe. were
lately attacked by the Indians near Fort
Larnard. The men were killed. scalped and
shockingly mutillated, and the women car
ried of to meet more shocking fate for
them. The Bishop was man Of large learn
ing, and fine social qualities, and highly es-
teemed by all who knew him. He travelled
through Arizona in 1865. His sad death
will not only be deeply deplored by his
church throughout New Mexico and Arizona,
but by all the people.

SUPPOSED MURDER on THE Ia PAz ROAD.
The teamsters with Fenter's train, which
arrived here few days since, report that at
a point about four miles from Black Tanks,
and about a hundred yards from tie road,
they found the body Of soldier much de-
composed. Upon arriving at Camp McPher-
son they learned that one William Lawyer,
who having lately received 5000 from his
wife in the East, determined to desert, and
did so, with one Collins, about four weeks
since. II is supposed that Collins killed him
for his money, and we hear that a man answer
ing Collins description lately crossed at the
Bradshaw ferry in the night, (seizing the
boat with Callahan, who killed Niece at
Wiekenburg. The precious pair are, proba-
bly, in San Francisco by this time, and we
commend them TO the police. Collins is said
TO have, during the war, been member Of
Mosby's famous band Of guerilas.

THE La PAZ ROAD.


Whether La Paz is to continue, or Ehren-
berg is to become favorite entrspn, upon
the Colorado, for merchandise for Central
Arizona, it is, as we have often suggested, Of
the first importance, that what is known as
the La Paz road to the Capital should be
made altogether agreeable and inviting. The
only great necessity is constant and full
supply Of water which the present system OF
ordinary wells does not afford. A new style
Of Artesian well, which has been seen by the
editor Of the San Jose Mercury, would seem
to be the desideratum:
1t consists simply Of an inch gas pipe driy-
en- into the ground. This pipe is construct
ed in sections Of six feet in length, for con
venience in driving, and may be set down to
any required depth. The lower section is
perforated with holes to admit the water,
and has a sharpened plug in the end the bet
ter to penetrate the earth. Two men with
no other tools than sledge hammer, wood
en- clog TO prevent the battefins. Of the pipe.
and a common pipe wreHeh car put down a

For an ordinary surface, or non-fiowing well.
a common suction pipe is attached TO the
top Of the we'll mo further pipe being re-
CURED, and the apparatus is complete. A
flowing well Of the above size would be large
enough for all ordinary purposes and thus
avoid the immense waste Of water coBse-
queut upon six or ten inch well. 1t is a

GES. GRASr's sPEEeHEs.-An eastern cx-

in the speech making line at West Point,
and delivered the lengthiest speech ever spo-
ken by him, on the occasion Of presenting the
first pr!ze Of the graduating class Of 1867 to
Cadet Ruffner. He said Cadet Ruiiner,

pleasure, having been won by your superior
merit, placing you at the head Of your class

in which / trust you may be foremost in the
paths Of duty in which your country callsn
Another paper has the following:

The General said, "Gentlemen hope you
won't stay in the rain long" Then he went

A SIMILAR CAsE--The editor Of the San
Bernardino Guardian, took pains when he
started his paper to announce, that it would
not be a political sheet, but independent in
everything. Some busy bodies having ac-
cused him of occupying a neutral position he
responds in his last number as follows. His
language may well be applied to the critics
Of the MINER, to whom we have alluded in
our leader. The case is similar one:
"NoT NEuTRAL.-We wish to correct an
error which we perceive, certain friends have
fallen into, abiding to this as neutral pa
per. We do not wish to be considered that
milk and-water affair, which Is generally an
derstood by a neutral paper'-we are Jude
pendent in everything, neutral in nothing.
Had these friends observed our course here,
brief as it has been, they would have seen
enough 70 have convinced them Of our entire
independence, not only Of individual or per-
sonal, but Of political influence. We have
differed with some on what are called demo
cratic measures, and approved Of Others
which are known TO be republican measures.
We are not, nor do we intend 10 become the
moutpiece Of any party. Our object Is, 10 be
of service to the community at large, and
we have ample and satisfactory proof Of the
success of our endeayors.
