Mining in YavapaI.

The Prescott Miner of Dec. , has these items.
 The placer miners of Lynx and Hassayampa creeks are doing exceed ingly well, with the little water they have for washing. One day recently, a Lynx creek man washed out, with a rocker, the sum of $50; this much of an old claim which had been aban- doned by its former owner! :!
 On Lower Lynx creek, Mr. Smith has been sluicing, with good results.
 From Bradshaw, the news is that Jackson & Snoup's arrastra is running on War Eagle ore, which IS said to be very rich.
 The Marcus mine, near Weaver, is still yielding great quantities of rich ore; the arrastra is running; rock paying well.
 Messrs. Smith & Taylor are still for water, at their mill, below Wickenburg, and are in hopes of find ing it in @ short time.

For Public Consideration.

Here is a petition in circulation for signatures and intended to be present. ed to the ensuing session of the Ari- zona Legislative Assembly:
 Whereas, The town of Arizona City is the main port of entry for all merchandise coming to this Territory from California; and
 Whereas, The water front of said town IS in dispute between the State ot California and the Territory of Arizona, evidenced as follows, to-wit:
 1st.-The County of San Diego has claimed and collected taxes from that portion of the population of said town, living north of the line of survey es- tablished by the treaty of 1S4S, be- tween Mexico and the United States. and known as the treaty of "Guada- lupe Hidalgo," and between said line and the Colorado River, up to and until A. D. 1870, and still claims the right to so collect said taxes.
 2d.-The Land Commissioner at Washington, upon application of the town of Arizona City for purchase of the lands embracing the townsite of said town, has refused to sell that portion to said town authorities, en- braced within the limits aforesaid, alleging as reason for withholding such sale that the lands before des- cribed were in dispute between said State of California and the said Ter ritory of Arizona, and that no grant would be made until such dispute was settled in the courts.
 3d.-That State School Warrants of the State of California have been laid over Said tract, as lands belong ing to said State of California, and subject to entry by said warrants; and
 Whereas, By reason of such con- Hicting claim and doubts concerning the true line between the said State of California and Arizona Territory,

III t1ma county, Iue three CdnuI-
 dates for Sheriff received 719 votes, the
 full number cast, of which McCor-
 mick received all but no. Over one
 half this loss occurred in Tres Alamos
 Precinct where S5 votes were cast, and
 but 26 for Delegate and 24 of these
 for Mccormick.
 Presuming that the full vote of Mohave was cast for Delegate, the entire vote of Arizona this year was 2,6S4 Receiving as he did 2,222 of these votes, and whatever opposition may have been felt being too hope lessly weak to put forward an op- ponent to him, Governor Mccormick may we'll accept the result as a high compliment to his ability and useful ness in Congress and that he was elected without any contest is rare compliment to the good judgment of the people of Arizona. The press generally throughout the country east and west, speak highly of Ari- zona's Delegate and of the distin- guished and almost solitary compli- ment of an election, and third one at that in succession, to Congress without any opposition; and We ought to add that of the 462 votes not cast for him, probably not 100 of them were withheld because of the voters disposition to oppose him.

In Maricopa county, the highest number of votes were polled for Sheriff, and aggregates 525, showing that 263 electors did not vote for Dele gate. In explanation of this, we are informed that the tickets for that county were printed without the name of any person for Delegate, and that none others were used there. "Pas- ters were sent there, but there being no contest for the position, not much pains were taken to use them or write a name upon the tickets.
 In Yavapai county, the full vote for Sheriff was 723, the highest umberl for any two Opposing candidates, and' all but 104 were cast for Delegate Mccormick. Two years ago, Maril copa and Yavapai constituted one county and cast 1,102 votes for Dele gate, of which Mccormick received 4S2 and Brady 62O. The same sec tion of territory this year gives Nc Cormick S71 votes and no opposition whatever.

Matters at Apache.

At our latest advices, Dec. II, de- tachments of L and M Troops, First Cavalry, with forty-seve Indians, were still out after hostile Indians un- der command of Captain Randall, Twenty-third Infantry. The Indians were enlisted from the different bands about the post. It. F. K. Upham was post commandant, quartermaster and commissary all at once, and was said to be doing quite well.
 A heavy storm of snow in the noun tains and rain in the valleys occurred on the 9th.
 Considerable business is springing up between Apache and New Mexico. Flour for the Indians and corn for horses are the principal articles of importation, but a good deal of mer- chandise comes in, too. On the 10th, several trains arrived from Socorro, La Limetas and Albuquerque with Indian supplies. '
 On the 9th, Lt. Brod1e returned from Bowie whither he had been on scout for deserters, but did not find them.
