Placer Mining Items.

The recent light fall of rain and snow has helped miners as we'll as farmers, and, just now, there Is considerable activity in the va- rious districts. At Black Canyon, in Brad shaw District, some l5 or 2O miners are at work, making fair wages, by washing the gravel of the high bars, adjacent to the bed of the stream. The creek. we are told, con tained, recently, about four sluice heads of water, and all efforts of the miners to pros pect the bed of it had proved unayaling. They think there is good pay at the bottom of the creek, and are determined upon test ing the matter as soon as they can. They also talk of building arastras, 10 work quartz from some of the lodes of the District
 Higher up Black Canyon creek, in Pine Grove District, there are about % men en- gagged in quartz and placer mining, but we are, just now, unable to say how we'll they are or have been doing. At latest dates from there, they had erected two arastras, and were preparing to try their luck in quartz mining.
 But little work is being done on Upper Lynx Greek, in Walkers District, and but little will be done until such time as the snow on the divide melts. Of course, par ties are engaged in taking out ore, and placer mining with rockers. By the latter process, considerable gold has recently been extract ed Lower down the creek, there Is more water and the miners are said to be doing well.
 great deal of coarse gold has recently been mined out of the England gulch, but water Is scarce there now, and some of the miners have left for the HAssayampa, where there is plenty of water for sluieing, and where men are making from s to Sl0 per day, Lower down the creek, at Walnut Grove, placer mining is being carried on sue. eessfully and proftably. We have nothing new from the Plaeeritas, or from Weaver, but presume that washing is going on at both places, with fair success.
 Two prospecting parties started out thi, week, intending to visit Copper Basin, Wal nut Grove, Weaver and other localities. W, hope some party will go down to Kirkland and Skull valleys, and try the hills in the vi cinity, where gold is known to exist.

Road to New Mexico.

For years past, the people of this section of Arizona have cried aloud for the building of a wagon-roai from Prescott to New Mex. leo, ria Camp yerde,-the shortest route,- but, owing to poyerty-brought on them by Indian raids and high prices, they have been Congress has refused to do it for them, al- though it is work of national necessity, and one that, if completed, would be of great benefit to the entire country, That energetic, far-seeing officer, General Thomas c. Devin, saw, while in command of this sub-district, that the building of this road was neces- sity, as well for the convenience of the troops as for the citizens, and he set men at work upon it, east of the Verde, but was soon compelled to abandon the work, on account of the paucity of the troops at his disposal, and the activity of the savages. With him, it was fayorite project, and he never aban- doned the idea of opening it until relieved of his command by General Frank Wheaton. The latter officer was not slow to acquaint himself with the wants and necessities of the  country, and. since his arrival here, has la bored assidiously to have the route opened. But, like General Deyin, he has been cramp- ed for men, and, until quite recently, unable to do anything practical in the matter. Some time ago, he started a force of infantrymen to work upon that portion of the route this side of the river, and, we learn that they have about finished the job. We also learn that company (, sth Cavalry, consisting of 63 men, under command of Captain Kauff- man, started from Fort whipples one day this week, for the purpose of opening the route between the Verde and Little Colorado rivers, and prepare is for the passage of troops. Ed. Peck accompanied the command as guide, and will, most .ssurcdIy, select q good route for a road. Captain Kaufman is said to be an energetic officer, and will take pride in having the work throughly done. In April next, five or six companies of the sth Cavalry, and as many of the Sd, will pass over it, and from that time on, we may rsas- onably expect to see freight trains, immi- grants, etc, come that way, as, by it, the distance between Prescott and Albuquerque will be shortened some 50 or 60 miles. The country through which the route passes Is well watered, timbered and grassed.

Railroad Matters.

The indications are quite favorable Tor tho speedy building of Southern Pacific Nall' road. The Central Pacific Company, of Cali fornia, are already shipping ties from san Francisco to Los Angeles, which looks s though that powerful company mean pO''' ness. It is said that they have bought, CT are about to buy, the San Francisco and oil' roy road, and intend extending it to Los An geles, at or near which point, commnnic' ton will, no doubt, be made with the man trunk line that is soon to be built from Stock ton, down che Tulare Valley and on 'o 'n' States, via the 35th parallel route :,
 The Kansas Pacific, and the Atlantic anu Pacific companies are at work on the'' " spective roads, and, really, it looks as 'nOugn we are soon to have railroad.

The Legal Tender Act.
Decision of the Supreme Comt-Opinion
 of the Majority by Chief Justice Chase

The telegraph has given us a long abstract of the decison of the Supreme Court in the Legal Tender Act case. The Chicago TriJua, of February eth contains the gist of it, which we reproduce. After an able review of the case Chief Justice Chase says:
 No one questions the general constitution ality, and not very many, perhaps, the gen eral expediency, Of the legal tender question, by which currency note has been authorized in recent years. The doubt is to the power to declare particular class of these notes to be legal tender in payment of pre-existing debts The only ground upon which this power is asserted, is not that the issue of inc notes was an appropriate and plainly adopted means for carrying on the war, for that is admitted; but the making them legal ten. der to the extent mentioned, was such A means. Now, we have seen that all the notes issued, those not declared as legal tender at all constitute very large proportion. and that they circulated freely and without dis- count. It may be said that their equality in circulation and credit was due to provision made by law for the redemption of this paper in legal tender notes; hut this provision if at all useful in this respect. was of triAjno importance compared with that which made them receivable for government dues. All modern history testiies that in the time of war, especially when taxes are augmented. large loans negotiated and heavy investments made, notes issued by authority of the Gov ernment, always obtain, at first, ready cir. culsnon, and even when redeemable by coin on demand, are as little, and usually less, sub Jeet to depreciation than any other descrip- ton oi notes, for redemption no better pro. yislon Is made; and the history of the legis. iation under consideration is that it was up. on this quality of receiyability, and not upon the quallty of legal tenders, that reliance of
