From Pima County.

We have the Arizonds of June l2, from which We glcan as follows:
 The mails are now carried regularly. from both the east and west . Colonel Dunkclbcrgcr on his recent raid north d tsc Gila burned 52 ln- dian huts, also. lot of blankets and baskets. .... The Paymaster had arrived and paid the troops at Camp Crittendcn. Major Collins, 32d Infantry, is coming to Camp Date Crcck..., Company I, lst Cavalry, Capt Berry. had arrived at Tucson, en route Co Camp Goodwin. The weather was extremely warm in Tucson. NIT. Pennington one of the oldest of Arizona pio- necrs was murdered by Indians, near the Son oita, recently One of his sons. was also miss ing, and it was thought he had been murdered by the savages. J. Anderson was preparing to start work upon his quartz mine, at Apache Pass. The fruit trees in the vicinity of Tucson were burthrncd with fruit. One of McCor- mck's supporters arrived in Tucson, recently. from Sonora, with drove of cattle, which he sold cheap for cash. and. aftcr getting the money for them. started for the land of blanketcd thieves. He had not gone long before another hohbrc put in an appearance, claimed the cattle. Nltl tut utcibls no uOuuts bi sNdIlu- tue nuI- chaser, but he did not get them and lcft. IL was supposed the cattle were stolen Under the heading. "Trickery, Swindles, etc, etc the Ari sondn launches invcctivc, gall and wormwood at the people of Pima county, more especially those | of Tucson, for not rendering it proper support Had we space, we would quote the entire srt 1 cle, and may do 80 in our next issue. But, for | .l. the Ar;soan is mistaken when, in its comparison about the relative support given 1t and tn, MINER 1t asserts that Prescott is scarcely target tban Tuhac. and about one-fifth the size os Tue son." Although we have never visited TucsoI | or Tubac we think that our town is cunsderabl, larger than Tubac. although il may not be nea SD large as Tucson. The acknowledgement tha Prescott gives more to the support of it's news paper tthe MTNER) in one month than k given b. Tucson for q like purpose in three" comes yer, near being true. and may bc strictly true. fo aught we know. However, its disclosures shoul
 bring the blush of shame to the people of "ih Capital of Arizona" Can 1t be possible that tn
 people of a little mountain town, like Prescott
 arc more enlightened. more energetic, more lt
 eral, more public spirited than the people of tn
 oldest, largest, and weal,hiest town In the Tel
 ritory?" It must be SO, else the iri5ondn woul
 not have admitted it. Glad are we that it is st
 Rejoiced are we to know that no man north (
 the Gila has ever swndled us out of dola
 and sorry are we to learn that our brother sout
 of the Gila cannot say as much for the pcopI
 down that way. Use your thorns on them, som
 more, brother Dooncr.

ACCIDENT oS THE CoLoRADo.-Tuesday June l5, while Tom Goodman's ferry-boat was cross ing the Colorado river, at La Paz. it was forced by a furious whirlwind. into pile of drift-wood. and shortly sfter went to the bottom carrying with it wagon loaded with bacon. boots, shoes. etc. ten mules and "A horse. The wagon. tcam horse and bacon belonged to the Miller Bros. of Prescott, who suffered great loss by the drown ing of three splendid mules, horse. and the sinking of over 5000 lbs. Of bacon.

NEW MExrCo-We have the Santa Fe Gdzette, of May 20. and from it compile as follows:
 Maxwell's mine continued to pay we'll. Alter run of two days, over sl5,OOO were cleaned upl The company intend to build 5O-stamp mill, soon. ... Gov.

CArour NAPPINo.-Oncc for a wonder the people of Yuma and Pima counties have allowed their River sisters Yuma and Mohaye counties - to get ahead of them in the matter of holding elections, but, then. we reckon they will not lose much. for it is the general opinion among the Yavapais and Pimas that the action of the Yumas and Mohaves will not be sustained. and that their elections will he set aside. We do not care to discuss the subject now, believing that, ere long the new Governor will settle the ques- ton We, however. give place to the following, from an intelligent Yuma:
 1t is the opinion of men here, that tbe Gov. ernor's willful or accidental neglect to issue an election proclamation, did not do away with the right of the people to hold an election. as or dered by section l, Howell Code Camcnded in Chapter ou elections). As well might it be said that if the Sheriff refused or neglected to pos, the Governors Proclamation as per Sec. ", il would do away with the election in bis county IT such were the case, a Governor might with hold his proclamation forever, and govern as the Sutton of Turkey, without Legislature. etc. or Sheriff might ;bold his oficc as long as he pleased, by not posting Governors proclama ton. etc The doctrine of making an election dependant upon the whims or will of Cover nor seems to many in Yuma county, very absurd 2
 Yet, my friend. the Code and amendments thereto, nowhere provide for holding an cleo. tiou-g general or special-until afer it is ordered by proclamation of the Governor.

Mohave County Affairs.

A. F.. D., an old correspondent of the MINER, contributes the following. under date of Mohaye City, Mohaye county, June F:
 Nothing much going on. River is rising and promises overflow of low lands. Co. II, of 18th Infantry, Capt Perkins, Brevet-Najor) sa route for whipplc, lcft here yesterday. The notorious lith have taken their departure and a company of the l2th Infantry is expected here soon.
 WaIIapais came in yesterday and report that Chiefs Lev-ve-lev-ve and Cherum, have found Mir. Divers two horses, which were stolen from here few nights ago, in possession of a band of Apaches. Cherum demanded the horses. but his demand was not complied with He sends word thet he will have the horses, dead or alive. Thi, stealing of the Apaches, over Wallapai shonl- ders will probably bring on war between the Apaches and Waiiapais, now that the wallapais want to be let alone by Col Price Cberum wants to be friendly. and says he will act in good faith, but knows that his people will be held responsible for depredations committed in their country. So we may yet have the walla- pals for allies against the Apaches We shall sec what we shall see.

THE NEW HEPsURs PAS.-Louis Blandng has tested the new Hepburn pan, and gives 1t as his opinion that it Is superior to all other grinding and amaigsmAting pans, for the reason that it can be run with 40 per cent. lees power than any other pan, that grinding and amslgamation go on at the same time, independent of each other; that the rollers operate to crush the coarse ore on ,se side dies, and P'sosTiss oH the muller dies. The rollers are free and adjust themselves to the size of the material fed to the pan, conse- quently, battery is not required, but 1t is es- sential to have cracker" or pair of Cornish rollers.

The Election in Yuma County.

Below will be found the official returns of the election held in Yuma county on the second instant A correspondent at La Paz writes us that but little interest taken in the election. consequently, the vote was very light. Polls were opened at but three preoinets,-Arizona City, La Paz, and Camp Reservation. The gen tlemen elected to the Legislature were not can ddaes, but it is thought that in case the election goes and meeting of the Legislature is called, they will serve. Here are the returns, attested to by the proper officer:

TIE professed friends of the Indian are again maneuvering to shield the dusky brute from chas- tsement for crime. One Enoch Hoag. shad- bellied Indian Superintendent, of Kansas, tele- grapbed, usder date of June s, that accounts of recent outrages, committed by Indians in the Northwestern part of that State, were greatly exaggerated, but he does not attempt to gainsay that whole families of whites were buichered by the savages. Palliation of Indian crimes seems to be a labor of love for Indian Superintendents

HAVE CHARITY.

Through the great, sin-blasted city
Tolls a homeless little one
Not friend to soothe or pity,
Not a bed to lie upon
Ragged, dirty, bruised and bleeding
Subject still to kick and curse
schooled in sin, and sadly needing
Aid from Christian tongastd purse:
But the rich and gay pass by her,
Full of vanity and pride,
And pittance they deny her,
As they pull their skirtsaside.
Then sudden mood comes DER her
Reckless she of woe or veal
Death from hunger is before her
She must either starve or steal-Y
She does steal, and who can blame her
Hunger pangs her vitals gnaw;
None endeavor to reclaim her,
And she violates the law;
Then the pamperrd child of fashion,
Who refused to give relief,
Cries, with well-affected passion,
''0ut upon the little thief.'
Censors, full Of world-wise schooling,
Cease to censure and jtcplore-
When the girl transgressed mans ruling
She OJeyed higher lao.
Take her place-feel her temptation
Starved, unhoused-no succor nigh
And, though sure of reprobation,
Yo would steal ere We would die!

LOVE AND THE SEASONS,

The rose III the sunshine, dearest!
Is whispering sweet to me;
The fairest things bring nearest
The memory of thee.
I think of thy voice when thrushes
Are singing their bridal song,
And violets round the bushes
Spread il a purple throng.
I think of thee when MAYS portal
(The rainbow arch of Heavenly
Seems like glimpse to mortal
Of vanished Eden given.
/ think of thee when death scatters
The yellow leaves in showers,
And the fretful raindrop patters
In the gay autumnal hours.
/ thought of thee, love, when winter
Hung crystals on each spray,
And when the red oak splinter
Scared bright grim ghosts away.
I thought of thee when dark treason
Plotted each wind that blew. O..
But why detail each season?
l love the whole year through.
