COLORADO MINES.

MT. L. c. Welbourn, of Mineral Park, Mohave county, writes to Gov ernor Stafford, on date April ', as fol- lows:
 MT. Scott just returned from the Colorado river gold diggings, and does not report very favorable. He tells us that the prospectors are scattered over large country-some of them having crossed the river and looking for deposit of gold said to be found somewhere in the Big Bend and on the west side of the river. Several parties built boat and prospected the bars in the canon and reported at low water plenty of $2 to $5 diggings, but too late to do much this season as the river is rising.
 At this place the mill is steadily at work with pretty fair results. Messrs. Coover and Elder, the former of Chloride, and the latter of Cerbot, have at last found what they say will stand the fire test for their furnaces. It is found in the river range of mount aims and is slate. They both have tested it and pronounce it of the best. They now have five large teams each hauling rock, and both are confident of success.
 We have had more rain and snow within tho last four or five days than have fallen in two years before.
 BLACKMAILING NEwsPAPERs.-Th Journal of Commerce is showing that the objects of the sharpers who black mail newspapers are different from those who blackmail persons: The creature who attempts to blackmail 8 newspaper it says) is not primarily so much in pursuit of money as of re- traction of truthful statements which have appeared in print, exposing his or her swindling practices. Libel suits against journals, instituted by knaves and charlatans, are rarely begun with the expectation of getting dollar of damages, but to frighten the editor into taking back and apol- oglzlng tor reports ot facts winch un- mask imposters, and are generally un- successful. In most instances the threatened suit is not commenced, or if so, it is withdrawn. In cases here and there, the exposed wrong-doer dares the consequence, and then the juries-with not an exception in recent history-tind for the defendant. It Is cheering, The Journal tells us, to ob- serve that jurors all over the land are taking right views of the functions of newspapers. The duty is disa- greable one, but the duty it is of news papers which know of swindlers prey ing on society to point them out, that they may be summed or brought to punishment. If newspapers do not do this, nobody will. From the la bors of the press in this line the public derive inestimable advantages not to be enjoyed otherwise.

Another Doubtful Venture for Gold.

Another Doubtful Venture for Gold.
 The Borderer, of Las Cruces, date April A, contain the following which, in the light of so many big hopes and fruitless efforts based upon like infor- nation, is more diverting than en- couraging; but as the location of the supposed treasure is in the White Mountains of Arizona, we deem the matter worth place ill THE CITIZEN |:
 Before this issue goes to press a party will have left on prospecting tour in search of a fabulous treasure in the very heart of the Apache country. The reports of this place have long been in circulation, and several Mexicans who have been pris- oners among the Apaches say they have often seen it. Immense quanti- ties of free gold lie in narrow gorge under waterfall in the Rio Prieto county west of the Tularosa, and which the Apaches have always guarded with jealous care. Several parties have made efforts to penetrate to the spot, but have always been driven back by the Indians. The present party will make'a strong at tempt to solve the truth of the story. We wish them success, and whether they find the story true in the main particular or not, we are satisfied they will find rich placers. The Indians in that section are known to have had gold ever since the Americans have been in the country.

Guaymas Railroad.

Our Guaymas correspondent, under date of april IS, writes as follows. re- garding the above named railroad:
 The concession asked for by Mir. Eldridge IS from Guaymas to the frontier-25 sections to the mile; the State to guarantee the interest OH the Company's bonds at s per cent, to be issued at the rate of $50,000 per mile of the road built. The Com pany failing to pay the interest, the State pays and takes the road, etc. This is the concession-the man points asked for. It is before the State Leg islature, and I hope it will pass, as Sonora needs something to give her new life and turn the ability of her people in the direction of industry and improvement.

IMPORTANT BILL.

A bill has been passed in the lower banch of Congress for the appoint ment of three Commissioners, at ten dollars per day, to inquire into the depredations on the Texas frontiers by raids from Indians and Mexicans.
 This foreshadows what may yet be done for Arizona, hence we advise our people who have met with like losses to keep an accurate account of them and collect in accessible and acceptable form all proofs thereof. No matter how great the losses. they cannot be repaid except as backed by unques- tioDabIe proofs. This has always been found, necessary to prevent the payment of fraudulent claims. Every man who has genuine claim for losses is especially interested in preventing the payment of spurious ones. The only forcible objection ever urged against thepayment of genuine losses, is the danger of imposition on the pub lie by claims based upon perjury alone. Hence let our people be prepared to support their honest claims and defeat dishonest ones.

The California Resolutions.

As we have already stated, the reso- lutions of the California Legislature, regarding Indian Affairs in this Ter ritory, were presented in the lower House of Congress by MT. Coghlan. In the Senate they were presented, April s. by Senator Casserly and re- ferred to the Committee on Military Affairs, after the following remarks by that gentleman:
 MT. Casserly-I present a joint res olution of the Legislature of the State of California, in regard to the present condition of the Territory of Arizona. It sets forth very strongly and with earnest feeling the deplora- ble condition of the white people in that Territory. It alleges that so far as the security of life and property is concerned the condition of that Terri tory never was worse than it is at present; the ravages of the Indians never were bolder or more affiicting in their results. It is an authentic ex- pression of the judgment and of the feelings of the people of California, in regard to the most unhappy condi- ton of the people of California, in re- gard to the most unhappy condition of the people of that Territory. It is Q statement which must appeal, I think, to all the best impulses of our nature. The substantial suggestion of it is, that until the Apaches have felt thor oughly and severely, once for all, the strong arm of the Goverement, it is useless to hope for any improvement in the existing condition of affairs. I must say, MT. President, that that is my own judgment also l ask that the resolution be printed in The Globe, and that it be referred to the Con- mittee on Military Affairs, whichever, in the judgment of the Chair, IS most appropriate.

FOR REELECTION.

Hon. R. c. Mccormick is candi-: date for Delegate at the ensuing elec- tion. We are convinced that the best possible thing the people of Arizona can do in this matter is to re-elect him. He ought to have no opposition, and this opinion is expressed by jour nals of all grades of politics both east and west of Arizona. The Democratic Star of Los Angeles of April 20, speaking of the probability of his being candidate again, re- marks that "this will certainly be gratifying intelligence to the people "of Arizona, without regard to pol cities for, of all the Delegates from "the Territories, the gentleman from "Arizona has the most influence, the "most industry, and the most states manship. The Territory is wise in attempting to keep man in their "interest who is so powerful at court. |"
 The Borderer and other New Mexi- can papers, as we'll as prominent ones in Colorado, speak in the highest terms of his efficiency. But few weeks ago. we especially set forth his capacities which can only be acquired by long experience and continued in dustry. It is really a subject of con- graduation, at this eventful period of Arizona's history, that gentleman so we'll understood and trusted by the President and Cabinet officers, can be had for this position.
 We have authority for this an- nouncement, and also to state that as before, he will be & candidate without reference to partisan politics. His public record is his chief recommenda- tion, and from time to time we will submit it in these columns, in full confidence that 1t will be so satisfac- tory to the people that his reelection will be assured without much op- position and angry strife. As Ter ritorial Delegate, his successes have been many and so remarkable as to attract the favorable attention of the most influential men and journals. Let all the voters of Arizona join hands and re-eclect him without parti- san strife, and so work together for the general good in all things, at least until our population becomes so large and wealthy that 1t can com- mand just public consideration in the councils of our nation.

UP till April 20, at our latest dates from there, Messrs. Sexton and Cusen- bery were running the Vulture mine, and were in great hopes of soon re- ceiving money from Europe to pay off all debts and take water to the mine. Hope so, for with water at the mine, large prospects could not fail to ac- crue to the owners.
