We have the Arizona City Sentinel of June 8, from which we condense as follows: H. E. Lindsay, former resident of Pres colt, announces himself as a candidate for Sheriff.
 By the upsetting of wagon, containing choice goods for Lord & Williams, of Tucson, that firm lost about ,O00.
 A private school had been started, with Miss Bishop as teacher.
 Yuma Indians had received increased ra- tions of flour.
 The Indian arrested by Capitan Sun, of the Cocopah tribe, was brother to the Indian who lately killed John H. Whitney. The murderer was not to be found, and the chief labored under the Indian delusion that his brother would answer the purpose of Justice, which be won't.
 Tim Manion had become insane, was taken before Judge T. J. Bidwell, who ordered him to be escorted to Stockton, California.
 The money order business was good.
 The waters of the Gila were threatening to overflow Gila street and the Rincon.
 The house of Wm. B. Hooper & Go. had forwarded several train loads of goods to va rous points in the interior.
 From Ehrenberg.
 The correspondent of the MINER, at Ehrenberg, sends us the following, under date of June l5:
 To the Editor cf the Arizona Miner:
 The steamer Cocopah arrived here last evening, en route for Mohave, with full load of freight.
 An Indian known as Apache Tom was shot and killed last night. The killing is reported to have been done by Indians. This report comes from Indians and suppose it to be correct. The killing was done east of Dr. Jones' house, on the hill, and was not known in town until this morning. Tom was con- sidered very bad Indian, constantly trading with hostile Indians.
 Williams, the new Indian Agent for Verde, arrived here two weeks ago to-day, and is rusticating at the Colorado River Reserve. There is no hurry about attending to the In- dians at the Verde, l suppose, that Indian paid officials need know of.
 The river is very high and still rising. All the ground planted early is under water and the early melons and corn which were nearly ready for use are destroyed. This will give us late vegetables, but plenty of grass.
 Miller's train left here on Sunday last, for Prescott. A train from Prescott and Wick enburg arrived day before yesterday and is now loading for return trip. PIONEER.

MINES AND MINING.
Mohave County.

By the letter which we to-day publish, from Wallapai District, it will be seen that mining there is grand success. We have, too, private information to the effect that the furnace at Cerbat was, at the date of said in- formation, turning out bullion.
 On Williams Fork, the Planet and other copper mines are being worked with profit, as we learn from A. G. Hubbard, late Super intendent of the Planet, who called on us this week. During the past year, 3SO tons of ore were taken from the Planet and shipped to San Francisco. This ore yielded SlOO to the ton. The Planet is now in fine condition for yielding ore. A new mine will soon be opened
 Yuma County.
 Ore from the Castle Dome Mining District is constantly being shipped to San Francisco.
 Pima County.
 Francis A. Crook, who has just returned here from travelling through Pima county, says he saw some magnificent mines near Tucson, and at other points in our sister county, all of which, were it not for the ApacLes, would be disbursng plenty of money.
 Maricopa County.
 Mining, in this county, is at stand still, owing to tie recent breaking up of the camps in Pnal District by Apaches. As soon as harvest is over with miners propose %l, o:r l,,o ol- Yavapai County. The miners of the several districts around Prescott are more hopeful than ever, but the Indians are more hostile than ever, so that not much, in the way of mining and pros pecting, is being done. The little that is be- ing done, though, is calculated to buoy us up.
 The Tiger, Benton, Del Pasco, Benjamin, Canadian and Cofnucopia lodes are being de- veloped to the entire satisfaction of all who have seen them
 Ten pounds of Benjamin, recently worke by J. A. Anderson, yielded S5 in silver.
 A piece of ore from the Crescent lode, in Walnut Grove District, recently assayed in San Francisco, yielded at the rate of Sl, 100 per ton in silver. The metal in this piece was 6S per cent. of the total bulk. Many assays heretofore made, have given from 50 to 60 per cent. metal. The lode is wide character of ore, gray carbonate of lead, which, all know, is easily smelted.
 The Vnlture mine, near Wickenburg, is still being operated upon and the mill is run ming, as usual.

Very Sanguine.

That General Howard believed in Eskcvan- zin's stone treaty" will be seen by the fol- lowing, which we find printed in Washington dispatches of June 3d.
 GA dispatch from Howard, Special Peace Commissioner, ria San Diego, June lst, re- ports that he made peace with large party of Apaches at Camp Grant, Arizona. on the 26th of May, after three days council. They promised to be hostile no more, and to help General Crook look up the incorrigible."
 Yes, their head chief gave sort of prom ise to help hunt up bad Indians, provided Government would furnish him carriage and two horses in which to do the hunting. But, then, that might have been savage pleas aDtry.

The Cart Before the Horse.

"The annual expense of protecting the six thousand inhabitants of Arizona from the Indians is 100000"
 The above item is from the Tribune, of Den yer, Colorado, paper that ought to have known that the Indians of Arizona have had zens," and that most of the money spent here [" for protecting citizens might just as we'll have been given to the Indians, as war fund. So far, the policy of the Government has been to aid the Indians in killing and robbing the whites.

Oh, don't you remember the treaty of Grant! The treaty they made with a stone: When Es-kim-en-z gin said, God had told him to
 steal,
 But that now all the cattle were gone. This treaty was wholly one-sided thing, And was made for the Indians alone, q Es-kim-eu-zin ruled out the Tucson Ring, And Howard walked off with the stone. Oh, don't you remember the first stone was lost. By a squaw it was thrown at dog, And another was furnished without any cost, C To the red men who sat on the log. When Howard in horror cried, "where is my
 stone?" The Lecturer prompt of resource, Handed one that was rounded and smooth as a
 bone,
 Saying you need it, so take it, of course. Es-kini-cn-zin's tale was touching and sad, Of the wrongs he had suffered so long, From that Tucson clique so hateful and bad, So designing, deceitful and strong. He was fond of fresh meat, and whenever he

 For a horse, some objection was made By the owner thereof, who enforced his dissent With powder and bullets, he said. Oh don't you remember, Es-kim-en-zin said, c The Tucson Capitan was the one, Of whose power alone all his tribe was afraid, And from whom all the Indians would run,- / In the mountains, he said, were bad Indians ten, Who would not obey his command, So when white men arc murdered by Indians,
 why then,
 It must surely have been by this band. Oh, don't you remember, the red man did say, That he must have two-forty team, Through the mountains to hunt up old Della.

Railroad.

The latest news from San Francisco and the East, regarding the 35th Parallel Rail- road project, is that the San Francisco Con- missioners found matters and things all right at Boston, the headquarters of the Company, and that they were about to proceed to St Louis to fix plan of operations with St. Louisians. The southern coast counties of California stand ready to lend the company material assistance, and we see no reason to prevent the completion of the road within the next three years.

Mail Service.

Instead of semi-weekly mail service from Prescott to Phoenix, Florence, Tucson and other points south, the people of the Terri tory should have at least tri-weekly service over the rozte in question, and not semi-weekly service, as we were made to say in last weeks MINER. We have now semi-weekly service, but it is not sufficient for the wants of either citizens or soldiers.

Louisiana Jockey Climb Races-FfFst Bay
AS was expected from causes OF a vel
known character, the attendance at the
races yesterday was very slim. Trouble il
obtaining conveyance to and from the Fair
Grounds, and fear that the horse disease
would stop the racing, prevented many per
sons from attending.
The programme was a GOOD one, and the
| club announced that the races would GER
tainIy come off, but that was insufficient to
convince sporting-men that the b1ppophal-
gia would not spoil al.
Promptly at the announced hour Colonel
G.. a. Breaux called up the riders for the

a f~ayorite, though bold betterP, who knew
something Of the Blacksmith, we're not en-
tirely afraid of the result. Pelham was no
where, so the. contest was between the
others.
This was a hurdle race, two miles; club
purse 5000; second horse to have $lo0 Of it,
and the third $50. At TIE start Tom led of
we'll, Blacksmith second, and Pelham fol
lowing somewhere. During the first mile
Tom had friends, but be did not retain
them, as Blacksmith began gradually to
travel up to the fore, much to the chagrjn
of many of his admirers. The Blacksmith
proved himself a steed Of good mettle and
got home ahead of Ton, distanciEg Pelham.

it's present epizootio emergency, give its
patrons considerable relief by resorting to
the old mode of propulsion. Three loco
motives ure still under shelter in Carrolltou,
and the track to Tivoli circle is the same
gauge it was when steam was used years
ago. In the absence OF horses and mules
the company should make every decent
effort to accommodate the thousands of
people who settled along the line because
they could obtain transportation easily. II
it is possible for the.company to do some
