HOW THE APACHE WAR CON.
MENCED.

The Arizona Miner gives a differ
ent account of the origin of the
present war in that Territory, from
that in circulation through the news
papers, based on the romantic loss
of a son by Cochise. The Miners
account is as follows:
1t is, we believe, a fact, that the
first Americans who came here, and
settled along the overland mail route,
were, for a short time, feared by the
Apaches, which race of demons then
courted the favor of Americans,
while they still kept on at their old
work of robbing and butcherin9
Mexicans and the half civilized In
dians scattered in villages through
out the GladsGen Purchase. This
state of affairs iastedin the Gladsden
Purchase until the year 1861, when
the a turned their weapons
upon Americans as well as MeXicans
and Indians. Up to that year the
Apaches visited the mail stations
and were treated in the most cordial
manner until, one day, II of Co
chises braves committed some spite
full act in "A corral, for which act he
received a kick from n john Will
son, an employee of the Mail Com
pauy. This awuke the slumbering
devil in the Apache; he reported the
affair to Cochlse, who went to Mr..
Robert Swoop, the head man of the
station, told him that his ma Viii
son had lnsulted one of his Indians,
which Indian. Cochise said, desired
satisfaction: IL fact wished to fight
Il duel with Wilson. To this Wilson
assented; prellmInarles were ar
ranged, and one day, in presence OF
all the whites and nearly all of the
Indians, the combatantS-each armed
with a loaded sIX-shooter, met IN
deadly conflict, and the Indian went
down to rise no more Cachise and

this occurrence a train was attacked,

with it either murdered or carried
into captivity; then stations Were

waged upon Americans by Apaches.
And such a war as has never dark.

wherein white captives have been

THE MISSOURI POLICY.

There is a great deal of p~rescience
in the policy advocated by an old
line Democrat in that s~taunch
paper, the Colusa Sun. In advocat'
ing the Missouri policy, he urges
Now allow these Conservative he
publicans to make DETERMINATIONS,
uninterrupted by Democrats, and II
they make good and iudicious noml-
nations iof which there Is but little
doubt. then let the Democratic Ma
tional Convention meet, discuss prln-
ciples, form a platform, appoint a
Central Committee, and adjourn to
meet again at the call of the Chair
man.
Such a course will present to the
people of the United States two Re-
publican candidates for the Presl-
dency. neither of which has been
nominated by the influence or assist
ance of Democrats. Such a cOnSerT
alive Republican nomination will
draw largely sppon the solid ranks
of the Republican party. The
Democrats have butone choice ;
they cannot vote for Grant, no
more than angels can worship the
devil. They will in q bodyvote for
the conservative nominee. Such
a nomination will most certainly be
successful.
With bnt few exceptions, the
members of the next Congress will
be elected at the coming election,
and although some of the States hold
their State elections a short time be-
fore the Presidential election, yet
the political canvass is made at the
same time, and under the influence
of the Presidential nominations.
The Democrats a control nearly
all the Congressional Districts IN the
United States, in a fusion with the
Conservative Republicans, and the
result will be that a large majority
of Conservatives and Democrats Will
be returned to the next Congress
with a preponderance OF the latter.
These two elements having been
in harmony through the election.

ELKO.
From the Independent. 17th.1

FROM tne lnOcpenuent, Iitu.l
Yesterday the keys of the Tecoma
mine, which has been locked up
since Buel & Bateman suspended a
month ago, were delivered to the
original owners, the Independence
Company, and upon an examination
of the mine by some OF the share
holders, it was found to be in much
better condition than was expected.
From the appearance of the interior
of the mine, it is very evident that
during the time it was under the
control of Buel u Bateman, it was
worked more with the view of de-
preclating its value than to develop
ing its great wealth. Shafts, tun-
nels and drifts we're left in a very
Insecure condition, many of them
having already caved; in fact, all
that portion of the mine worked by
Buel X Bateman, is In a shockinglv
bad condition. and it will cost the
Independence Company a large sum
OF money to again open 1t ont in
proper shape. But, notwithstand-
ing all this, there Is sufficient ore i'll
sight to warrant all the outlay re-
quired to re open the mine, and it
will be done Immediately. Mr..
Stevens, II of the Independent
Company, "A thorough practical miner,
took charge yesterday, and this
morning put a large force of men TO
work, and the present force will he
doubled as soon rs o IA be
made in the works. In u few months
the Tecoma will rank among the
foremost mines in Eastern Nevada.

SAN DIEGO OYSTERS.-The Los
Angeles News of the 11th saws

Angeles News of the 18th says:
E. Swift of San Diego is engaged
in the planting and raising of oysters
The place selected is near the mouth
of an estuary at the head of the bay.
Some two years since We visited
these oyster beds, and since that
time have looked with something OF
interest for a statement of the result
of the experiment. The Union in
forms us that complete success has
attended the enterprise. A depot
has been established for the sale of
the bivalves, which are declared su-
perior to any native oysters n the
San Francisco market. 1t is believed
bv Mr.. Swift, who has devoted much
time to oyster culture, that with
proper care and attention those
planted by him can be made to rival
the famous Saddle Rock of the East.
Success having been achieved at San
Diego, there would seem to be no
good reason why the same result
might not be obtained at various
points on the coast in this county.
The experiment is worth trying, to
say the least.

An OUTRAGEOUS FRAUD ON THE
BANK OF CALIFoRNIA.-A few days
ago the Bank of California was
shamefuIly victimized, but the par
ticulars have been kept secret until
now, for fear a run on the bank
should follow publicity of the loss
sustained. 1t is customary for the
cashier to receive rolls of silver from
depositors. These rolls contain
either SO or so, neatly wrapped up
in paper, and unless presented by a
stranger are not usually opened.
Yesterday II Of the supposed SO
rolls was opened, when it was found
to contain a piece OF an iron bar.
To guard against a repetition Of this
ingenious dodge, the bank clerks
will hereafter require persons hand
ing in rolls of silver to pencil their
names on the wrapper. The bank
declared its usual monthly dividend
of l per cent, Notwithstanding this
loss.-S San Francisco Chronicle.

Joe Elliott has published his opinion as
to the great LongfelloW-HsTTy Bssset race
in which the former broke down. The
facts, he thinks, stamp the horses as equals
Longfellow being outside ran some thirty
two feet further than Bassett. Had Long
fellow had the pole, it is doubtful, TO say
the least, whether Bassett could ever have
taken it from him. As to Longfellow's in
jury, he says:
'The most reasonable theory is simply
this: Tired as he must have been, he was
pulled up too suddenly when the race was
over, and probably struck his fore leg with
his hind foot, at the same time catching the
heel of his plate and tearing il partly from
his foot, the next step doubling the plate
under his foot as found. More than one
person observed two separate blundeTsof tie
horse as he was pulled up. AL the mis-
chef was probably done By tie same acCi-
dent. 1t is more proper that this theory
should be presented, because it will add

horses, more especially when exhausted by

The melo-drama entitled "Ten Nights in
a Bar-room, = was produced last evening in
the Masonic Hail Theatre, by the Gilbert
Troupe. IL can be plainly seen by the title
Of the play thai. it Is Intended as an example
to sll who love too well the intoxicating
cup. The audience was quite large, and
during the progress of the drama it was
discernible that the acting was having the
expected effect, for in the eyes Of both old
men and ladies could be seen tears when
ever the more pathetic portions Of the play
were being enacted. The character of
Sample Switched, as played by j. NJ. Gil
bert, was well sustained, and while Miss
Katie Gilbert did the part of the drunkard's
wife with great deal of grace and unaf-
fectedness, she is not quite calculated for
such a role.
Every act of the entire drama was well
applauded, and all listened with wrapt at
tention while little Addie, as the drunkard's
child, entered the bar-room, where her "a
ther was, and imploringly sang "Father,
Come Home" The performance wound
up.with tableao and blue lights represent
ing the little child's ascension to heaven.
Arguments may be raised by the over
pious against theatricals, but this drama as
played last night is more forcible temper
