Railroad Items.
2d It. 9th Cav, Commandin

The Central Pacific Railroad Company, of California, are now pretty certain of getting S., 2,500, 900 in cash from San Francisco, to in duce that Company to make San Francisco the terminus of all their roads, and we doubt if, in the end, the interest of all will not be subserved by this action of San Francisco. We have the assurance of prominent citizens of San Francisco that the Central Company intend to run their proposed southern line into our Territory, as soon as possible, strik- ing the Colorado river at the Needles, ;n Mohave county, and at Arizona City, in Yuma county. Action like this would se- cure them the entire trade of this Territory, and would, in very short time, bring us people and means to oyerawe the sayages and develop the wealth that now lies dormant
 San D;egans are to vote on a proposition to aid the company that proposes to connect that city with Los Angeles by rail.

!. Military Affairs.

General Crook is doing everything possible to protect our people and punish their savage tormentors. <
 Three companies of Cavalry are on active duty in Southern Arizona, and all the avail able officers and soldiers in this section of the Territory are now, with some friendly Indians, on the track of large band of red butchers.
 The General wants no more soldiers, but he does want to be let alone, and not have his plans intcrfered with by Indian Agents who are entirely ignorant of the ways of the savages or the nature of the contest.
 Again, he wants full power over the reser- vations, and these things he must have, in order to prove to the Indians that they must do right.

ble. Many men count their claims by hun- dreds, and it matters not what the rules of the mining districts were when the claims were located, or how much work had been done on them previous to the passage of this law. Now that the crops are nearly all gath cred, a time of leisure comes, and those wto can, should at once begin to secure thelr claims for the year ending next May. The Fall and early Winter is a-much eef- ter time to work in the hills in favapai county than the Spring, and men who own thousands of feet, cannot start in too soon, as the law requires.
 E. wallapai District
 From Mohave county we get cheering news when we get any. Our last information is that there is no great excitement but mine owners are going ahead with hard work, and are shipping ore to San Francisco by every steamer that goes down the Colorado River, and getting renumerative returns.
 From the new district, 90 miles south of Wallapai, and about 20 miles east of the Col orrdo at the Needles, the Gun-sght lode is creating a sensation. As has been stated be- fore in these columns, our fellow-t -townsmen, Robt. Groom and w. J. Berry, are: owners in the vein and recent reports lead us to be lieye that there, they will realize their for tunes, as the vein is said to bc richer than any vet opencd in Arizona.
 Diamonds. --,,-..
 The excitement about diamonds seems,to have subsided in San Francisco, and most of: the newspapers now treat that subject with cool contempt; principally for the reason, it seems, that the reporters are unable to get any reliable information from the parties claiming to own the discoveries. In conse- quence of the insinuations that the incorpo- rated companies in San Francisco were fraud upon the public, the Harpending Company are said to have deposited all the money paid for shares in the Bank of California, there to remain, until the return of Mir. George D. Roberts, one of the incOrporators.
 Later reports say parties had arrived in the city with more diamonds.
 A party arrived in Prescott from Salt Lake City last Saturday; they brought some very pretty stones that they picked on their route.
 The Arizona Sentinetof October 9th says:
 "The first shipment of Diamonds brought to our knowledge passed through this city last Sunday, for San Francisco in care of Wells, Fargo & Co.'S. Express. These precious CD stones were contained in box and package. The box weighed B pounds and was addressed to E. NJ. Smith, San Fran cisco, and was from Florence. The package weighed St pounds and was addressed to s. W. Rosenstock & Co, San Francisco, and came from Tucson"

Great Trotting Races---Fastest
 Time on Record.

Sometime since it was discovered that Gov. Stamford, of Sacramento, California, owned . horse that could make IS good time in trot- ting as the fast horses in the Eastern States, aud negotiations were opened with the own CTS of the celebrated mares-Goldsmith Maid and Lucy, to come to California and make . race at Sacramento during the continuance of the State Fair, and afterwards give Stan ford's horse, Occident, chance to compete with one or both of the mares.
 The two mares were brought to California on the railroad, and arrived safely at Sacra- mento, on the 18th of September, and the trial of speed between them came off on the Union Park course, September 2S for purse of Sl0,OOO, mile heats, best three in five. The concourse of people at the race track was immense and the excitement great. All the California horse men were there, and many sporting men from the East, and bet ting was lively. Budd Doble drove the Maid and O. A. Hickok drove Lucy. The Maid won the race and the money in three straight heats over mile track. The time was, first mile, 2:2O; second mile, 2:l7h; third mile, 223.
 On the announcement of 217i4 . the second heat, great enthusiasm prevailed and three cheers were given by the crowd for the little bay mare and the fastest srotting time on record.
 Between the heats Occident was driven around the track, to trotting sulky, making the mile in 2:2l'4 without apparent effort, and after the race, went over the course again, to wagon, in 2:23 2-5, which is faster time than any public performance on record, though Dexter is said to have made 2:2l 1k, to wagon, in private.
 Arrangements were then made for . race between the Maid and Occident, to come of in Alameda county, October 5th, and the performance. of Occident, at Sacramento, gave California sports great hopes that he would winsth race.
 The following despatch from the Los An geles Express, does not give the place where
 
 but as the race was made on a halfmile track it was probably on Treats track at Alsmcda, and as the record shows, Occident and his packers were beaten:
 San Francisco, Oct. 5.-The race this af- ternoon between Goldsmith Maid and Occi- dent was attended by an immense concoursc of people. Throughout the entire race the widest enthusiasm prevailed, and the bet ting ran far up in the thousands. The race was won by Goldsmith Maid in three straight heats. Time, 225, 2:ls14, 2:22.
 San Francisco, Oct. 6.-Goldsmith Maids time yesterday, 2:lS11s, is the fastest time ever made over a half mile track. Lucys time was 1:l9. Fastest time heretofore over a half mile track was Dexter's time, l:l9. Two seconds is allowed between half. mile and mile tracks. This makes the time yes terday equal to l:l6}. Five thousand pco- pie were present. Admission to the track two dollars.

SEvEEE WEATHER informa-
ton from Wasco county comes from
the Salem Salesman. I'VE met with
a gentleman yesterday, just down
from Tygh valley. who Informed US
that between that valley and The
Dalles, there was from six to ten
inches of snow, that the weather was
extremely cold and cattle were far
ing very badly. The supply of hay
or other feed is unusually short and
great loss of stock is feared. Our in
formant said that Mr. Robert Mays
of Tygh valley has twelve hundred
head of cattle scattered over twenty
five miles square of country, and that
he had not to exceed one or two
weeks feed, in case of the coming on
of such weather as would prevent
cattle from ranging. Mr.. Hyperion
of this city came down from Wasco
on Monday to the mouth OF Sandy
to see if he could buy hay there, in
tending. in case of success. to drive
down lot of beef cattle which he
has in Wasco county. He has but
little feed where his cattle are, and
cannot possibly keep them there
through long spell of freezing and
snow. A gentleman who arrived yes
terday from Ochoco, informs US that
when he left there was but two inch
es of snow in that valley, but more
has doubtless since fallen. We bear
that in other parts of Eastern Ore
gon there is even more snow, equally
cold weather and the same scarcity OF
food.
