 MINING ;-Newa from the Apache Pass gold mine grows still iouLer Mr. Tiernau arrived tbsnce ou Weincs ,ay; he says inc mill works most satisfactorily. The plates for which the company ha, so long waited have at length ar rived but two Of them, not 0'i iag of pure cop her have proved worthless Operations have therefore, to be carried on upon small scale, one plate o,ly being it for use The com- rauv has sent to San Francisco to procure ohars net being able to obtain the genuine article rn aermoso. The rock is described as thoroughly impregnated with gold-ny fragment in which particles of gold may not be discovered. We expect the whole company into town shortly to celebrate the production of ,he first bar by big champagne drunk" FEW nights suce an attemp: was made To enter the storehouse of ot MF. Zeckendorf The barglar having effected an ascent to the roof of the building stole himself cautiously along 1 doubtless with the intention of getting into the l yard and thence, as he best could into the stlrehouse. The noise overhead was however, | sufficient to arouse The suspicious of Mr Z who adjusted his spectaces, armed himsefwith a | revolver and stole quietly into the street, and | from his position soon discovered, owlet-iite, perched upon the roof the canse of the dis~ turbauce Levelling his revolver he discharg- ed one chamber at the would be burglar when that individual retraced his steps as far the front of the building and jumped thence into the street-from elevation Of some fifteen feet. From the fact that he effected escape, leaving no trace of his identity, 1t is quite evident that he did not break his neck as he should have done if he were disposed to benefit the communty.
 GUST as we go JO press tlulu2S di0 AeC0i'oN regarding the Eastern mail which terribly real> ize the fears we have elsewhere expressed. The mail was captured by Indians on, Tuesday, about % miles from Apache Pass, and the whole party, consisting of Col J. E. Stone, president of the Apache Pass mine, Mir kaler, driver, and four soldiers whose names we have not learned, were massacred. The Indians then attacked herd of 200 cattle, only few miles distant from the scene of thiG murder, ( killed one of the men in charge and took the entire herd The other men, five in num- Der, escaped; they report having seen three white men amsng the Indians-not as prison- CTS, but taking active part with the In dians But we have neither time ncr space l for comment. These are the tacts-terribie although not altogether unexpected; they are such as we have been taught to expect from the characteristic non-proteciive spirit of &n infamous compact in Washington which dsres to impose itself upon us as government which will protect its citizens,
