Interesting to Miners and Settlers.

About two weeks since the United States
Surveyor General requested the Register Of
the United States Land Office at Sacramento
to suspend from entry and sale all lands situ-
ated upon the east half Of township north
range 10 east, which includes Amador City.
also the keystone, Amador and other mining
claims of much value, all having claims pend
ing in the Sacramento Land Office. The
Register was Of the opinion that the proceed
ings could not be suspended. as in case where
lands were claimed as swamp lands, by cr-
der of the Surveyor General, and proceeded
to take proofs. notwithstanding the request Of
suspension, bet awaited instructions before
making sales. 1t will be seen by the follow
fug letters Just received by the Register, thar
the land intended to he affected by the sus-
pension is not to be deemed suspended. but
to be considered as though it had been re-
turned upon the township plat as mineral
land, until otherwise ordered. Wherefore
the Land Office business will proceed relative
to that township with the exception above
specified, the same as before

Army Transportation in the De-
 partment of Arizona.

It appears from intelligent obserVa-
 ton of essential details, that the abuse
 or misuse of horses and mules in this
 Department has been wonderful. No regard seems to have been paid to the fitness of saddles, aparvjos, etc., hence, as Stoneman would say, con- sumption and destruction of animals have been resultant. This and gal loping on marches, and short rides likewise, have mainly reduced the transportation in this Department be- low the necessities of the service. It is the opinion of sensible army officers that horse or mule should and could be used nearly as long and as contin- uously in the army as out of it, and that their destruction in the army IS too great to be excusable on any prin- ciple of good sense. It is even as serted by members of the army that but for this wanton and indifferent de- struction, there would to-day be am- pie transportation for all present wants in this Department. More true econ omy can be practiced in taking care of property than in the most careful purchases.
 General Crook finds the transporta- tion of this Department in needlessly condition, and under his practiced and vigilant supervision, it is being put in better shape hereaway. But for the bad condition of the ami mals and their gear, there would not have been so much delay in getting the present campaign inaugurated. MT. Moore, the chief of transporta- tion, is going over it all most thor and he is admitted to be an extraordinarily hard and intelligent workman in that line of service. Having exhibited his admirable fit ness for the position years agone, ac- counts for his occupation of it here, under the new Department con- mander.

RAILROAD SUBSIDIES.

The inconsistent revilers of the Gen. tral Pacific Railway, now have a chance to get off some of their rawlings against the Union Pacific The latter company is claiming right to sub sidies of bends and lands from Ogden to the Pacific, and is pressing its pre- tended claims by such able counsel as ex-Attorney General Hoar. As yet, we see no virtuous indignation express ed by the revilers referred to. Why, do we hear it asked? Simply because it is not the Central Pacific seek ing the aid, and the aid sought is to be used against that company. Sup pose the Central company should set up similar claim for public aid to extend its line from Ogden to the Mis- sissippi, would these virtues anti-sub- sidy journals he dumb on the subject?
 Since the Texas Pacific has been subsidized, we emphatically oppose further aid by Towns, Counties, Cities, States or the Nation to any railway but this does not lead us to oppose let ting any people by fair vote aid such enterprises to the extent of their desires. We should always beg of the people not to impose such burdens upon them selves, but would not favor absolute prohibition, as do raving opponents of the Central company. When it is only case of nominating some man for of flee whom the same class of journals have determined shall be chosen, then the people are outraged if they are in any manner prohibited from spending their time and money in perfecting what has been decided beforehand but if these same sovereigns want to take a vote whether they will or will not hasten railway to their doors, then the sovereigns must not be trusted. Give the sovereign a fair chance, and he will do about right. He's voted many times in 95 years, and things have not gone to the dogs very discouragingly We think he will not rote lands or bonds to railways to any great extent, and we believe he can be trusted with the privilege of do- ing it or not doing it.
 But really, we should like to hear from the boasted anti-subsidy papers on this monstrous claim for lands and bonds by the Union Pacific Con- pany.
