Colorado River Mines.

Evidence is daily accomplishing to the effect that the mines of Sacra- mento District, in Mohave county, are very rich. Governor Stafford has re- ceived letter, of date November 4th, from Oliver Stewart, who had just re- turned to White Pine from Arizona. MT. Stewart says:
 stopped few days at Sacramento District. For silver mines, they have the most promising indications 1 ever saw. If the lodges continue as good downward as the surface indicates, l predict for that district one of the best mining camps on the Coast, and in fact the best. The ore is nearly all high grade and seems to be plenty ca the surface. There is going to be quite an influx of population into that district from this State during the Winter, and probably will be the next place of excitement.
 We have letter dated St. Thomas, October 24th, which says:
 The excitement about Sacramento District, Arizona, Is spreading far and wide, and miners are focking in from all quarters. Caldwell Wright staid all night here last week. He has dis covered a gery rich mine, and has gone to White Pine to tell the news, and will be back in about fifteen days. There was quite @ party of rich quartz men passed here this week on their way to invest ill the mines and put up @ mill.
 We are gratifed to read such hope ful news, and trust developments may meet all expectations, for then will the Utah Railway be hastened southward, and the Atlantic and Pacific will re- ceive additional impetus westward, and possibly from the Pacific side east ward. Our California friends should exert themselves to permanently con- trol the trade of that section, by giv- ing it the earliest cheap and rapid transportation, and merchandise and machinery at lower rates than eastern dealers can.

More Light from the East.

A Washington Dispatch of Nov. 14, has the following:
 The Government is still very much exercised concerning Indian affairs in Arizona, and has at last determined to adopt positive and permanent measures for settlement of this question. The effort which was made to have some of the leading chiefs come to Wash ington and witness the greatness of the empire of civilization is given up as futile. At the request of Secretary Delano, Colonel John E. Smith. com manding the Fourteenth United States Infantry, one of the most prominent officers of the army, and one thor oughly converSant with the Indian question in all its bearings. has been summoned here for conference on the subject.

 MARIcoPA WELLS, November 20, 1S71.-Night before last the Apache Indians, about b in number, made a raid on the stock of the Pima Indians, about three miles from this place, and started off with several head of horses. but were overtalen by the Pimas and the stock taken away from them. The Pimas report that the mountains near here are literally alive with Apaches. A gentleman just over from Phenix reports that last night the Salt River valley was full of them.
 I see by notices posted at this place that the Mcdowell folks are now en- deavoring to toll the red devils into that post. and have sent Agent Stout word not to allow the Pima and Mar icopa Indians to visit that post, under pain of b, ing confined in the guard house, as the commander of that post says he is abound to protect his h. dians "-meaning the Apaches. Con- ment is unnecessary. MARICoPA.

THE blind goddess cuts strange fig ures now and then. Just about these days, as almanac makers say, she is tndeavoring to convict near hundred reputably honest and peaceable Pap ago Indians for killing some Apaches i; and while the latter are, as whole body, historically known to be profess sional thieves and murderers, thou sands upon thousands of dollars have been expended to capture them, not for punishment, but that they might be in the most public manner rewarded with food, clothing and extraordinary protection.

The Apache Victims near Wicken-
 burg.


 Regarding the personal history of the men murdered by the Apache MChaves on the 5th instant, we know next to nothing, but find the annexed in The Prescott Minor of the 11th:
 Frederick W. Loring was P years of age and 8 native of Boston. He graduated from Harvard ill 1870 and immediately engaged in the business of journalism, in Boston. Early in the present year he joined the Wheeler Expedition, which he accompanied throughout all its rambles, arriving here two weeks ago, on his way home. Although a boy in years MT. Loring was a mature man in mind, whose name had become familiar to almost every reader, as an author and "con- tributcr" of rare merit.
 Messrs. Hamel and Solomon were likewise members of the Wheeler Expedition. Both gentlemen were residents of San Francisco, where the latter leaves & wife and two small children who were entirely dependent upon his labor for support.
 MT. Solomon was returning to his home in Philadelphia after an absence of many years, part of which time he was member of the firm of Jewell & Co.,, of this town.
 c. $. Adams leaves a wife and three small children in San Francisco. For the last ten months he had charge of the flour depot of w. Richard S Co.,, at this place, and was on his way to join his family in San Francisco.
 The driver, John Lanz, was recently from California, had obtained situa- tion as driver few days before, and was making his first trip from Wick enburg.
 While the Eastern press was being imposed upon by the false reports of Colyer concerning the Apache Mo hayes, the latter were murdering the people, cutting open United States mail bags, detaining the mails and de- stroying the property of the Carrier. We presume Colyer, Whitman, Nel- son, ct al., will go into revelry of ec- stacies over this deed of their friendly Apaches.

FIRE AT PARKERsBURG.
THE ESTIMATED LOSS $4,000.

Special Dispatch to the Register.
PARKERsBuRG, w. Va, May IL.
About noon to-day fire broke out in
S. Burches sash factory, in this city,
and before it was discovered had gained
such headway as to be beyond control!
The building, large frame, was soon
in flames and spread rapidly to the ad-
joining buildings. The loss at the pres
ent writing cannot be nearly estimated,
but the following figures will about
cover it: S. Burche, sash factory,
$4,000; Parkersburg flour mill, $1,000;
w. B. Casewell, tenements, $4,000. The
new fire organization worked with COM
mendable zeal under the efficient man
agement Of Captain Davis, and to their
labors the safety Of the city gas works
and other valuable property are in
debted The tenements were occupied
by numerous families of poor persons,
and being burned out in the streets
with their little all is saddening in the
extreme. There is very little insur-
ance

THE BRITISH TREATY
An Important Concession.
rom the Washington Patriot.l

SohCNNsso"-
From the Washington Patriot.I
1t is not improbable that our zeal
may have misled us so far as to do some
injustice to the administration on one
point Of the British treaty-we say
British treaty, for that is the name by
which it will be hereafter known.
Upon closer examination of the details,
we find an important concession that
escaped our attention when receiving
the first impression of the semi-offieial
manifesto, issued by the Department oI
State. The rivers Porcupine, Yucan
and Stilline are TO be free forever, and
open to the people of both countries
We are assured that the American Com
missioners insisted with united ardor
and patriotism in demanding this priv
ilege, and that, after long resistance on
the part of the double-bsrrelled Earl, At
was conceded. Although our stupid
mapmakers have treated these mag
nificent rivers with studied neglect, per
haps on account Of their British parent
age, now that they are comparatively
Americanized, it is to be presumed .thl;
old prejudice will disappear, and the
heretofore concealed rivals OF the Missis
sippi and Missouri will be allowed n
take their proper places in our national
geography.
The President told us, in one Of his
marvellous State papers, with minute
precision, the great advantages to bt
derived from the annexation Of Sar
Domingo, and how the national deb
was to be extinguished by acquiring il
Indigenous bananas. He is now medi
tating on the blessings TO be derivec
from the freedom OF the waters Of vha
once was the fretful Porcupine, to "a.
nothing Of the Yucan and the Stilline
General Grant is persuaded, and botf
General Dent and General Babcock-ir
spite of his partiality for Baez-concul
in the opinion, that the fortune Of tn
United States has been made in obtain
ing the freedom Of these streams. The,
have all secured sites at the sources
and seriously think Of settling fher'
after the 4th of March, 1873, TO ieat
modest and retired lives, as they al
expect TO be disgusted with rmPefiA
splendor by that time.

SOCIETY REUNIONS.
Society OF the Army of the Potoma

Society OF the Army of the Potomac
BosToN, May l2.-The army reunions
of the week are coming to grand and
fitting conclusion. The Society Of the
Potomac, embracing very large ma
jority OF those who aided in achieving
the glorious result at Appomatox, had
a brilliant reunion this morning at the
Globe Theater, which was beautifully
decorated for the occasion. Flags
shields and corps badges were strewn
about the auditorium in great profusion
and the balcony was hung with Ameri-
can flags. The stage presented bril-
liant appearance. 1t was set for for,
est and stacks Of muskets, common
and miniature tents gave it all the ap-
pearance of an encampment in the
woods. At IL o'clock. the distinguished
guests come in from the rear
Of the stage, but had scarcely made
themselves known before a rapidly
spreading murmer Of applause an
nounced the arrival Of General Phil.
Sheridan. The murmur speedily grew
into a roar of cheering. The General,
as he took the position reserved for him
upon the stage, was greeted with repeat
ed bursts of applause and futtering Of
handkerchiefs He respectfully bowed
his Acknowledgements. The regular or.
der of exercises was then proceeded
with, commencing with a PRAYER by
Rev. Phillip Brooks, after which Gen
eral Lucius M. Fairchild, Governor OF
Wisconsin, delivered the opening ora
ton.
GOVERNOR FAIRcHILDs OPENING ADDRESS.
Governor Fairchild's opened his ad-
dress by reference to the recollection
awakened by the reunion. He then
proceeded to state briefly sketch Of
the first organization of the army OF
the, Potomac, the events which led to
it and the events which led to the cir
cumstances surrounding it down to the
time when it marched out to the first
battle OF Bull Run. He referred Incl
IDENTIFY to the facts that every component
ofthat army was retraced by the ne,
cessity of guarding Washington, and
said that its many apparently useless
marches and battles developed qualities
of the highest order. No braver than
the other armies its members encoun-
tered greater obstacles to test their
bravery, not less Jealous lovers OF the
Union they suffered defeats and disas-
tiers which would have utterly disorgan-
lied and demoralized men less deter
mined to win the prize for which they
fought, and through it all they never
for one moment lost confidence that IN
the end they would be victorious; =,

MACE-COBURN FIGHT
The Fight to Come off June I'd.
Kansas City, Missouri, Selected as
the Place.

ERIE, Pa, May l2.-Mace and Co
burn met at 10 A. NJ, at the Reed
House. Mace proposed Kansas City
as the fighting ground Coburn OBJ
iected to this, and offered one thousand
to five hundred dollars to Mace to meet
him and fight in room fifteen miles
from here. Mace would not agree to
this. The referee finally decided that
the men should meet at Kansas City on
June I'd and proceed with the fight.
The stakeholder declared all bets off.
Mace and Coburn start for New York
to-day.
ERIE, Pa, May l2.-All the arrange
ments between Mace and Coburn have
been satisfactorily concluded and the
parties have left for New York. The
fight is to take place at Kansas City,
June I'd, unless other arrangements be
made previous to that date 1t is high
ly probable that the men will never
meet in the ring. The grudge origin
ally felt by both men has ripened into
bitter and intense hatred, and if they
ever do meet it will only be but to pun.
mel each other into hash. Coburn
stock has gone down many degrees.
Plenty Of evidence has come to light
that the game was to delay the fight
and give all the warning necessary to
the authorities, and many consider it a
partiality on the part Of the referee that
the fight was not given to Mace. Both
men met at the Reed House this morn
ing and agreed upon the above result.
The bitterness existing towards each
other was intense.

Rochester FOrger.
JERSEY CRY, May l2.-Yesterday af:
iernOon James Condor was running a
construction train over the Hackensack
Extension OF the Erie railroad when,
through misplaced switch, the train
ran into a number Of freight cars. A
general smash-up ensued. The engine
OF the construction train was damaged
beyond repair and several of the freight
cars were completely wrecked. Condor
was terribly injured about the lower
extremities. He was taken to Hacken-
sack, where his right leg was amputa-
ted The bones of the left leg are
crushed so badly that amputatlon will
be necessary. This morning he was
taken to St. Marys Hospital, Hoboken.
The physician thinks he cannot survive
through the night.
Edward Hall, the alleged Rochester
forger, was taken before Judge Biddle
this morning, of Hudson county Circuit
Court, under writ of habeas corpus.
Mr.. Winafred moved for his discharge
Oh the ground that he was not the man
for whom the requisition of Governor
Hoffman called.
A Mrs. Smith, of New York, the
wife OF six living husbands, and Mrs.
Homer Caswell, of the same city, the
wife of two living husbands, identified
him. Judge Biddle ordered that he be
surrendered to the New York State au'

him from the Court House and hand
cuffed him, and will leave for Roches'
