tured, ana contrary to- all expectations
all tell the same story-thus: The
original Tiger is magnificent success,
the lode or vein has been traced by
skillful prospectors for nearly eight
miles, for more than two miles every
foot has been taken up, on half dozen
claims, shafts have been started, and
in every instance good ore has been
found, and in at least two locations the
owners and others believe their pros
poets are better than those on the dis
covery claims. Those who did not get
satisfactory locations ON the Tiger,
struck out into the neighboring coun-
try and discovered and located ON sew
eral other silver bearing veins which
promise we'll, although not as large,
long, or on the surface as rich as the
Tiger-and named them the Tigress,
Lion, Lamb, etc.
Our townsman, ". G. Collier, has
declared his intentions to move all his
household goods to his claim on the
Tiger, and camp there till he gets all
the silver he wants. Mr.. G. has for
seven years, spent all he could make
in other ways, in prospecting for quartz,
and feels sure that he has got his for
tune before him now. 1t is asserted
by interested parties, that ore amount
ing to several hundred pounds in
weight, taken from different locations
on the Tiger, carefully sacked and
marked, will be sent to San Francisco
to be worked for both silver and gold,
in order that operations may be started
understandingly; though persons ac-
customed to the smelling process, say
there can be 10 question of the expe-
diency of erecting small furnaces, and
commencing paying operations at once.
AS a portion Of the vein runs through
heavy pine timber, charcoal can be
made on the spot, and if the size and
richness of the vein continues down
into the depths Of the eartA, there will
be i'll time, iiourishing town. Anti
cipating such results, some enterpris-
ing parties have already laid off and
claimed town-site near the mine,
hoping doubtless to realize from the
sale Of corner lots after awhile, and if
the ore is carbonate of lead as stated
by parties protesting to know, and the
Tiger furnishes plenty of it, state of
things similar to that at Eureka, Ne
vada, may arise at the foot of Brad
shaw Mountain, smelling may become
a permanent business, teams that
freight our provisions in, may so out
laden with silver bullion, and the own
ers Of feet and town lots BE- happy.
Notwithstanding the silver fever,
the gold bearing veins are not aban-
doned on the Brad ;haw Mountain, or
elsewhere. Reports from the Del Pas
co, which has been the leading trump
i'll our mining circles during the past
few months, from the mines ON Lynx
Greek, and the Eugenia on Big Bug,
{ from the latter, the Big Bug Mill has
been crushing ore constantly for the
past year, are more encouraging this
week than ever before. So our quartz
mining population is jolly, while the
placer miners and farmers are praying
for snow and rain, either or both. III. /
Hon. +. c. MCCORMICK, it seems from
notices going the rounds, has made another /
powerful speech on the Indian question. !
We take the following from The Rocky
Mountain News, at Denver, of Feb s:
Mr. Mccormick, the Delegate from Ari- /
zOna, seems to have made an admirable
speech in the House, on the Indian question
Judging from the brief notices of it we
have seen. He made just those distinctions
which eastern men find it so hard to recOg
nize, and advocated the kindest treatment
Of those Indians who are inclined to peace,
md at the same time the most vigorous
against those who persist in hos
.ilities He protested against the common
habit of eastern people, in charging at eve
" case of outbreak that the whites have
been the aggressOrs He said he knew the
and they are eager for peace
md friendship with the Indians. He thought
f Congressman would consult the Terrific
1al Delegates on Indian affairs they would
understand them better. Mr. McCormick's
speech is said to have made an excellent
on the House, and we hope it
nay reach and enlighten many of the peope
