ABOUT wlLD ANIMALS.

As some OF tho readers Of TIN JOURNAL
may feel disposed to 60 into the "show
business" We publish the following items
concerning what somebody knows abou,
menageries:
An elephant costs from $1,000 to $4,000
for what are called small ones, up to Sl2,.
600 for very large one. The price is,
however, naturally somewhat affected by
the age, docility and education Of the speci-
men. An animal that has been taught 10
20 through an interesting series CT tricks
may, though small, be more valuable than
much larger one whose early schooling
has been neglected. A very large one was
sold for $4,000 few years since, but the
lowness Of the price Was in great meas.
ure due to the fact that for certain disa-
bilities Of age, &C., he was unable to bear
the fatigues Of constant travel.
There are but few specimens Of fine lions
in the country, probably the largest pair
being two that were 1t one time said to lie
the finest in all Europe. but which were
secured by sn American manager and
brought to this country. The pric: was
$1,000 in gold. Single animals bring
from 81 200 81, 500 each, according to age,
size, and education. Those horn in the
cage have formerly been considered more
'"cile and tractsble than those reclaimed
from their native plains, but certain sccur-
rences Of late years have led shoxmen to
distrust them as being almost beyond be.
lief false and treacherous. In the case Of
Massartee, the wretched man who, few
months ago, was literally torn to pieces
aud almost devoured alive in tho very pres
ence Of an audience in England by his own
troupe Of Stained and trained animals. -
the original attack was made on him and
tho first blood drawn by lion that had
been born in the show, ''brought up BY
hand" and fed from tho day Of its birth by
the very man whom it Was afterwards the
first to strike and clay.
A rhinooeres costs from $4,000 to So
600, and is always most attractive feature
Of the exhibition. At the Geological Gar
dens in London has lately been received
what is known a. the "double horned Su-
matrau'' rhinoceros, the great popularity
Of which is that it is covered with hair in
stead of having the usual sole-lea her
trunk look Of the moro familiar Species
This particular specimen, the like of which
was never seen before in England, cost in
Calcutta FL 900 sterling, CT ST, 900 in gold,
to which must he added the cost of trans
portation, atten iants, food on shipboard,
before the sum at which the ugly beast is
valued can be definitely arrived at.
A fine pair of royal Bengal tigers. fresa
from the Indian Jungle, were sold lately for
$1,000. This royal tiger. be it known, is a
very rare and beautiful animal, al ways adj
vertised, though seldom seen, some life rior
one Of the huge feline, generally panther
being made to personate the noble beast.
A panther, young and healthy. will com
msnd about $4,000 to So 900, and q pair
male and female, if they agree, and can be
exhibited in the same cage, are worth prob.
ably $4,000.

Indian Items.


General Crooks movements are not pub lished. in advance, nor have we any official stat ancnts to give to the public; but from a reliable "contraband" we learn that a SSstematic advance on the foe is in progress. and hope to be able shortly to report good news from the seat ofwar. Scouts are in the field from Date Creek, Camp Whipple, Camps Verde, Apache, Mcdowell and Grant, going after the willy Apache and all moving toward the country of the Tonto and Pinal Apaches, and being assisted by quite num- Der of PahUte and Apache-Y Yuma lndiansl who are very useful as scouts and trailcrs, we are fain to believe that the hostile aborig- inees will be forced to come to terms during, the present winter.
 Captains Adam and Montgomery, from Camp Verde, called on us Wednesday after noon, and gave us some items of their recent scout up the river through the Red Hills, Verde Canon, around San Francisco and Bill Williams Mountains and Black Hills, after Indians. They state that they found the country on the upper Verde frightfully rough even worse than the Santa Maria country. Plenty of Indian sign was found but no Ind ians caught, and all signs showed that the Reds were on their travels. Several aban- doned rancherias were found and destroyed with the plunder which the Indians in their hasty retreat had been obliged to leave be- hind them

The Presidents Message.

NEW YORK, Nov. 26.-A Heralfs Washing ton special says:
 "The President to-day will read to the Cabinet the complete draft of his message.
 He has yielded this year, as he did last, to the advice of experienced politicians and changed it's tenor so far as relates to the South. He gives that section passing men, tion; praises the wisdom of the enforcement law, and alludes to the disappearance of law lessness in the South as the good behaviour at the polls in the November election, and homes for continuance of this state of affairs
 Although he has no special recommenda- lions to make in behalf of the South, he de- sire, that Congress shall do whatever it deems wise in legislating for the late rebellious States.
 Reiterating his previous declarations, he says that he has no policy to enforce against the wishes of the people.
 The country is felicitated on the accomp- lishments under the Treaty of Washington.
 Cuba is lightly passed over and the case of Dr. Howard receives but brief mention.
 Mexico does not receive large share of attention. and our relations with different foreign nations are disposed of with the usu- al brief paragraph.
 The Vienna Exposition is commended, and the Philadelphia Centennial is also spoken of.
 Our credit at home and abroad, the efficient management of our foreign and home policy, and the prosperity of the nation make up the substance of the balance of the message.

Good News from Wallapai Dis:
 trict.'

A letter from our correspondent at Camp Beale Springs, gives very lively and encour- aging account of mining matters in Cerbat, Mineral Park and Chloride, all included in what is generally known as Wallapai district, Mohave county. g.
 The' letter confirms our adviccs of last week concerning the strike atthe water line of rich ore on the Fairfield mine in Mineral Park, and states that on November 2Ith a rich body of ore, assaying SS00.00 per ton, with width of three feet, was struck in the Lone Star shaft, causing rise of $lO per share in the stock of. the company (the Lone Star is incorporated) in one day.
 Our correspondent also states that the Gunsight mine, south of Walapai district, is turning out ore of the richest quality, and that a new vein of large size, showing excel lent ore on the surface, has just been found, two miles from the Gunsight, by French man named Magendic, which was causing some excitement among the miners.
 Major WheelerNS Co. were busily sinking on mines in Maynard district, thirty miles southeast from Walapa district, near Wal lapai Springs, and getting satisfactory pros poets.
 The saw-mill in Maynard district, owned by gentlemen in Cerbat, is making lumber oi good quality, and in quantities sufficient to supply the demand of all Mohave county at much cheaper rates than we used to supply them from Prescott. .@.
 T. W. Brooks, who came. in from San Der nardino, ria Camp Beste Springs, gives sub stantially the same report concerning the mines, and states that ". H. Hardy has been repairing the toll-road between Hardyvllle and Prescott, and that A. J. Moore, sutler at Camp Beale Springs, on the road, is fixed to supply travellers and miners with all nccessaries and luxuries that could reasona- bly be expected at such an oct of the way place, thus endorsing the advertisement of Mr Moore in another column.
 MrtBrooks brought in several fine horses from California for sale) and expects to re- turn soon on bpsiness.
 The success of Wallapai district as min ing district seems to be settled, and we con tidently<expect that the coming year will show. good returns in bullion from Mohaye county.

the following. communication sent us by a well-known scientific gentleman:

the following. c0mmunicatlon seht us oy well-known scientific gentleman:
 "The recent expose may convince the pub lie that the place named as being in Colorado, near the boundary of Wyoming, IS not Tn diamond formation. Does it follow that there is no true diamond range in New Mex ico and Arizona Let us see. Captain BnckIey. of the Pacific Diamond Company, claims to have found similar stones not far from Fort Defiance. We have seen l5O bounds of them at Banker Sherwood's, on California street. They are here now; and samples have been sent to Europe for valua- ton. We aie informed that l50 pounds more are at Santa Fe, awaiting transport. Three hundred pounds of that kind of 'salting2 cannot be supposed to come from London. Moreover, the gentlemen who are co-operat- ing in that exploration have not put stock on the market, which takes away all object for deception. Neither are they deceived by others, as Messrs. Roberts and IIarpending appear to have been. What, then, arc We to think about the deception in the case of those gentlemen? Did the sailing. come from London? We think not because the stones composing the ''saltng' are exactly like the l50 pounds of stones now at Sher- woods bank. Therefore it seems probable that those found in Colorado came from the same locality. In corroboration, the persons who sold the Colorado claim to MeSsrs. Roberts & Co. are known to have been at Fort Defiance !; and before the expose the Pa ciic Company was informed that those per sons got bag, of, f,stnnes from tlre present grounds of the Paciiib Compady. If there was 'salting" it came, in all probability, from that locality. ---. '"'
 Rubies, emeralds, etc., are alike abundant in the l50 pounds and in the lot that came from Colorado, and diamonds are equally small and few in both lots.
 The location in Colorado is described as not in the itacolumite rock; But the Pacific Company's locality Is in itacolumite-that laminated, elastic and reddish yellow sand stone that is the home of the diamonds and other precious stones Probably. where diamonds most abound, other varieties of stones are not SO plenty. The diamond range Is l50 miles long at the least, and that diamonds have. been found, however small and few, is foundation for reasonable belief that larger ones, in greater supply, will be found in placers, on further exploration. We hold that recent developments, 100 miles away in Northern Colorado, should not be accepted as any criterion that there is not a diamond field in New Mexico and Arizona. Nor is it to be assumed that on this great Continent, rich in all the precious metals, it is not likely that we have diamonds. fhe probabilities are all the other way. Let every thinking man ask himself the question! "Why should we not have diamonds in this glorious land so blessed of Heaven in all kin | dred riches '? Sazss

To Quartz Miners.

We call attention to the letter of Almarin B. Paul, of San Francisco, published on the first page of to-day's MINER, which, owing to mistake, lacks Mir. Paul's signature.
 Mir. Paul is one of the most energetic and progressive mill men of the Pacific Coast, and his proposition to Arizona miners deserves careful consideration.
 We have received sample of the brass wire screen having .s,l0O openings to the square inch, which any one can examine at this office.

Dr. II. Bcndcl Superintendent of Indian Affairs, recently returned from long trip through the Territory, and states that while on the road to Arizona City, near Gila Bend, .in company with Gov. Mccormick, they saw hostile Indians on the hills, saw the trail of the Indians and the 40 mules they had stolen from Tearhsters' Camp the night previous, (mention of which raid was made in the MINER of November 30th); saw in the dis tant hills the cloud of dust made by the ami mals the Indians were driving away, and found in the road stray mule, all sweaty and badly scared, that had probably escaped from the Indians where they left the road. The mule was afterward recognized by the owner.
 Superintendent Bendell believes that the Indians were from Camp Grant Reservation, from the direction they were going with the mules, and the fact that the agent at Grant had reported the absence without leave of a party of reservation Apaches.

Indian Commission.

Washington, Nov. 27.-The annual report of the Indian Commissioner is quite lengthy, It defends the change inauguratsd by Grant in dealing with the different tribes. It says that the continued employment of the mili- tarY is necessary for the repression of the hostile tribes. It concludes by saying that in three years the alternative of war will be eliminated from the Indian question.
