Conquer We Must.

No use in talking sense, reason, or sofl nonsense to sly savages no use of bribine them with victuals, or gaudy presents, to keep the peace. There is between them and ns an irrcpressible conflict, which will have to be settled by hard knocks, just as. all such conflicts, among all peoples, have bad to be settled. Used to seeing Indians from early childhood, and having had our young head filled with esteem for the braves of the Match ez, Caddo, Cherokee and other warlike South ern tribes, the remnants of which, We were wont to sec in our youth, lounging about market places in New Orleans, and at other points in Louisiana, Mississippi, Arkansas and Tennessee, 1t was but natural that an exalted opinion of the dusky savage should possess us, and it did until long after we had come in contact with tue insig- nificant Diggers, of California, and the treach- erous Apaches, of Arizona. From that day to this, our esteem for the bad breed has de- creased. We have tried our best to see in the Apache noble, but misguided, red broth CT: have shared with him our scaIrty supply of food, and been rewarded by having him shoot at us, burn our cabin, kill, steal and destroy our property. And this is the ex- perience of many of our white brochers in Arizona.
 Recently, when Eskeyanzin and his Ind ians made a new treaty at Camp Grant, we thought some good might grow out of it. But, news from Pima county satisfies us that, while EskevanZn and a few other Indians may keep the peace, for policys sake, hun dreds of other Eskeyanzins are still bent on killing md robbing Americans and Mexicans, have, in fact, kept on doing so all the time. And recently, when the Indian ration was in- creased, so as to be sufficient to more than stall-feed every savage-male, female, big and little-and when word was brought us that every savage would go upon the reservations, our heart relented, and we thought the irrepresible conflict had ended.
 But, alas we were fooled. Johnny Apache has once more disappointed us, and now, we are of our old opinion that nought save blood-letting, starving and disturbing policy will ever conquer the devilish race that has, never yet, yielded to a savage or civilized people. Nor are the Apaches different in thls respect from other wild tribes, who, to-day, in Texas, New Mexico, Utah, Montana, Da- kota ard elsewhere, are killing and harass- ing whites and sharpening their knives for the throats of others.
 To be plain, the policy of OUT Government in dealing with Indians is most villainous; {; those who favor it arc, without knowing it, perhaps, bigger scoundrels than the Indians, for, without their aid, the Indians could not carry on so. Let us hope, that the friends of peace, of humanity and civilization, every where, will at once help to smash the robbing Indian Rings and to inaugurate policy that will put stop to such crimes as are every day committed by Indians in the West.

MINING ITEMS.
Mohave County.

The news from Wallapai District is rather meagre What little there disappears in our letter from Camp Beale Springs. We do hope that the furnaces are running success fully.
 The Los Angeles and San Francisco papers are filled with accounts of the receipt of rich ores from the district.
 Work upon the copper mines at Williams Fork, was progressing iavorably.
 Yuma County. Castle Dome miners are waiting for cool weather, when active operations will be com- menced.
 Considerable placer mining was being done, with paying results.
 Nothing from MT. Borger's mill and mine.
 Pima County. The indefatigable A. P. K. Stafford, Cover nor of the Territory, has started on another prospecting trip.
 Maricopa County. Preparations are making to commence work on the Silver Queen and other mines.
 Yavapai County. Tiger, Del Pasco, Benton and few other lodes in the Bradshaw region are opening out better and better. Plenty of rich ore on various dumps. No water to run Del Pasco mill.
 Placer miners on Lynx and IIassayampa creeks are rocking and banning out sufficient gold dust to defray all expenses.

MEXICO.

1t latest dates from "this unfortunate country" (as all the papers say of it), the Revolutionis,s were as busy as ever weeding ont and robbing the "under fellers, rs,"-Juar- asts, who were not slow in returning compli- ments of the aforesaid nature.
 Mariscal-the newly appointed Minister to the Court of our war chief, was about to sail for New York. Our Minister to the Court of the big Indian, was coming with him, and did not expect to return. So be must have received his discharge, to make room for some other patriotic member of the p.rty in power. General Rosencrans was bsset by ruffianly editors, who made "heavy" of his railroad projects. and abused him for filibustcr Not one Mexican editor favored his proposed railroad, which shows that the old prejudice against Americans is as thorny as ever.

Our Government---What it Costs
 to Run 1t.

The San Francisco Gull, of recent date, says:
 "It takes a good deal of money to run a Gov crnmcnt as vast and complex in it's machinery ss that of the United States. The appropriations made hy the last Congress for that purpose, amount in the aggregate 10 Sl6s 293 564, disriou- ted as follows: Pensions, 3D4sOOOO; post office, S2s, 600 292; army, s2s. .56O6l5; sundry civil ap- propraiions. $l9, ,52S, ,52f legislative and cxecu- tive lS,5S7,9l6; navy, slS,296, i34; Indisns, G., 3l9 l62 deficiencies, St 029 160; rivers and lisr- bors s5,276, 100; consular and diplomatic, el v 2l9,659, and military academy, SSa6, l0l.
 Presuming that the Gull has given us cor rect figures, it will be seen that the cost Oi drumming the Government" is more than double what it was before the late family trouble, and still there appears to be lack of funds to run the different Departments ss they should be run.
 For instance, the War Department, the P. o. Department, the Indian Department, and, perhaps, other Departments, are always cramped for means towards the end of every fiscal year. Especially is this the case with that section of the "War Department" sta toned in Arizona, the chiefs of which are expected, yes, compelled, to subsist, equIp, mount, provide in every way, for the troops under their command for the same amount of money, per man, as is allowed for an equal number of troops in the old States, where, it is well known, soldiers have no work to per form, no Indians to fight; no escorting; in fact, no hard duty, whatever, to perform.
 There, too, every thing needed by an Army, is cheap, while here, the cost of everything needed for'troops and their animals, is very great.
 Now, we are not finding fault with the cost of running the National machine. No, but we do believe it ought to be run better for the money.

THE APACHE SITUATION.

We hear that there are a great many Apaches at the several reservations, and we know that great many more Apaches are not upon any reservation, but are running loose. killing and stealing. Here, they have been quiet for couple of weeks; not so down south, where their war parties have been stealing stock. Government, through it's agents, has been promising to give them all they can eat if they would but come upon the reservations. Well, some of them have come, and Mir Reid. who is in charge of the Superintendency, in the absence of Superin- tendent Bendell, has had to beg and borrow provisions for the Indians, he having no money on hand to purchase supplies for them. This being the case, Government must be doubly responsible for any crimes they may hereafter commit, and, should those now on reservations get up and leave, disgusted with what they cannot help but look upon as a breach of contract, we will have bloodicr times than ever before.
 During this time, General Howard and a delegation of Apaches are at the East, and so is Superintendent Bendell. The General and Dr. Bendell may return soon, prepared to minister to the immediate wants of the res ervation Indians We hope so, as our people are anxious to give the feeding process fair trial So. too, IS G;neral Crook, but neither he nor we have much provisions to spare for the savages.
 While hoping for peace. we are still of our old opinion that peace will never be brought about solely through the instrumentality of so-called humanitarians, and, with. General Howard, hope Government will speedily strengthen the hands of the military here.
 We have long since arrived at the conclu sion that Government cannot afford to feed the Apaches as they desire to be fed and even if Government could afford to do so, and would, which it will not, the Apaches would not be satisfied to stay upon the res ervatious and forego the pleasures of occa- sionally killing white man, robbing a mail military post or settlement. No, they must first be whipped.

Mining and Scientific Press.

Rather long name, to be sure, but, then, nothing less would give one anything like an idea of the valuable San Francisco journal to which we allude, and which has just en- tered upon its 25th volume, with new type and a new resolve to be of ever greater serv- ice to miners and scientists, everywhere, in the future than in the past, 8 resolve, We very much fear, the editors and publishers will find some difficulty in carrying out, for, really, the paper has always worked up to the line of perfection. Miners, in fact all classes of the people of Arizona owe Messrs. Dewey $ Co, publishers of the Press, . big debt of gratitude for various favors.

 Much of Arizona is unsurpassed. Even now, after nearly four years of partial drouth, all of Northern and great part of Southern Arizona are covered with green, nutritious grasses, upon which millions of horses, sheep. cattle, etc, could he fattened. This, how ever, cannot be until after the Apaches shall have been placed horsdeconsbai, or sent East, to be quartered upon the pbilanthropic lndi- an Ring men and their followers.
 To crown all, we have plenty of timber, and climate, or, rather, climates, to suit every person that may come here.
