Another Indian Outrage.

A week ago to-day, as the stage containing the U. s. Mail, the driver Mir. Tingley, Joseph Todd, of this place, and George Jack son, of Petaluma, California (brothcr of our fellOwtownsmen Cal and Sol. Jackson,) was passing through Granite Wash about mid way between Wickenburg and La Pu,, on its way to the former place, it was attacked by about 90 Indians, who lay concealed in the brush, on each side of the road. The Indians were armed with guns. and tried their best to kill and capture the party in the stage, all of whom were wonnded. Inc driver NIT Tingley, received three wounds. Mr. Jackson was wounded, slightly, Joe. Todd was woun- ded in the spine, and as he was just recover ing from sickness and medical treatment, 1t IS feared he may die from the effects of his wound. Wben the Indians first fired at the stage, the horses became frightened, turned out of the road, and ran right through body of Indians. Mr. Tingley. although badly wounded in the wrist, got hold of the reins, which be had dropped in order to shoot at the Indians, turned the animals into the road and got out of the wash as quickly as possi- ble. The Indians chased the stage all tbe way through the Wash, but the horses made good time, and they were unable to satch up with 1t. Upon arriving at Cullen's station, word was sent to Wiokenburg, when Dr. Howard went out to attend to them The d6ser was taken to Wickcnburg Messrs. Todd and Jackson remained at the station, and. if able, will come to Prescott with Joncs & Werninger's trains.
 IL is feared that the Indians have killed Vim. Barnett, step-son Of Allen Cullumber nf Halnnt Grove, ho was on his way tn La Paz. He left Culien's station on the morning of the day the stage was attacked, and was not seen on the road by the men in the stage.

THE editor of the Grass Valley (Caliiornia) Nafioadl, has been visiting the Empire mine at that place, and gives the following account of the mSile eptrasas of saving the gold:
 ''The gold is saved at the Empire in somewhat different manner than that em ployed af the Eureka. No blankets are used. but the gold is amalgainatod in batteries and on copper plates alone. The sulphufets are separated by iiendy's concentrations, and then passed into the Bsux < Gniod's separating nmalgainatros, Of which there are sixfeen-- Quicksilver, cyanide of potassium, and blue stone are also put in these pans and ground up with the sulpburets. After remaining in this set of pans for six or seven hOnrs. the paip .s drawn into another set ol grinding pans. siowiand'S, where 1t is again ground f5 an impaipable fneness. and every particle of gold brought into ,contact with the quick. silver. The sand and other foreign matter :S then ssiiOwed' out, and the pure ainalgan left to be ret0rted as usual The Empire men cialfn that this method 0i working sulDhurets is better than the chloriaation process, be. cause it not only is much less expensive, hut secures more gold. They have tried both ways. The Empire snlphnrets contain about one seventh of all the gold that is obtained from the rock, and in value vary from $50 to e30o per ton, she average value being about SS0"
