EARTHQUAKES AND CRors.-A severe shock
of earthquake was experienced at HIPS
Ferry on "Wednesday morning. A Chronicle
correspondent there says people forsook their
beds in haste and graced the streets i'll all the
simplicity Of disturbed night raiment. I'M
mediately after the shock the waters of the
river rose over the banks, emitting noise
like the muttering Of the sea. No damage
was done. The same correspondent remarks
that on the night previous copious rain had
fallen, continuing for nearly twenty-four
hours. The farmers Whereabouts now feel
assured of good crop.--San Francisco

rises above the crash of the non-explosive

Items about Indians.

The Indians gave as an excuse for leaving the Verde and other reservations that they could not live on the rations, yet 1t is certain that they saved four, etc., for the campaign they are now making against us. No doubt they could have deyoured more meat than was given them, but those who are not able to stand the hardships of war appear content with their rations.
 John F. Townsend, of Lower Agua Frio who has reconstructed more Apaches than any other man in Arizona, while here, few days ago, informed us that a short time prcvi. ous to leaving home, parties of Apaches had passed and re-passed over the trail from this section of country to the Verde river. One party-bound east-had several animals. Mir T. is satisfied that these Indians were Verde Apache Mohavcs.
 Mir. McCloud has until recently, been oi the opinion that the Indians who attacked himself and Mir. Saunders were Pinal Apaches, but, from the description given us, of their moccasins, we have no hestancy in pronounce ing them Coyotcros, from the Camp Apache reservation, and, quite likely, of Chiquito Capitan's band.
 From all we have learned relating to the recent massacre near Camp Date Creek, the savagcs must have either stolen close up to the house and made rush into it, else, they were Date Creek Indians known to the mur- dered whites, who were allowed to enter, and, who, after having entered, trcachcrously slayed friends who had oftentimes fed them The body of MT. Cullumber was shockngly and several cuts and bruises were visible upon the face and head of Harris.
 Both the murdered men had distinguished themselves fighting Indians, which fact con firms the belief that they were taken by sur prise by sneaking " friendly" savages, instead of by eastern Indians, as some people would have us believe.
The weekly Arizona miner., 1872-03-02
From Arizona City.

The Ere Press of the l7th ult.. came to hand Monday last, with news to the effect that, on the morning of the 18th ult, three prisoners confined in the county jail, awaiting tiial for murder; rig: Gertrude, Cczad and an Indian named Que-cha-c ca, made their es. cape through hole made by them, or some friend of theirs, in the wall of the fire place that Sheriff Tyng, upon learning that they had decamped, despatched Deputy Sheriff: Pickens and Lockwood, together with some Indians, who followed their trail, found them asleep on the bank of the Colorado, when Cozad and Gertrude were rc-capturcd. taken back to Arizona City and lodged in a more secure place than the jail. Upon hearing his pursuers approach, the Indian, who, it ap- pears, belongs to one of the bands in the vicinity of Date Creek, jumped into the Col orado river, Saying goodbye, white men), and escaped.
 Ky private letter of the 18th ult., VIC learn that Quartermaster General Meigs was still on the river.

Does Not Concur.

isham Reavis, Associate Justice of the Supreme Court, of this Territory, has sn opinion of his own-whch he publishes in the Arizona City Free Press-upon points in- volved in the Richard case, which opinion ve may lay before our readers in next issue of the MINER. He is firm in the belief that Government officers of an Indian reservation have undoubted authority to prevent citizens not armed with license, from trading with Indians; which is the reverse of the opinion of majority of the Court.

notes this fact and suggests that the amount be "cut down" about one hundred thousand dollars, as a measure of economy.

Request that Should | Granted.

Hon. c. X. Tweed, Associate Justice 4 the Supreme Court of Arizona, carries b
 Governor Booth a letter from Governor S,f ford, of Arizona, requesting some proyisiOak made by our State government whereby
 limited number of insane persons from ow
 neighboring Territory may be cared forin ts Insane Asylum of California. It appears b
 us that this is very proper and rcasonabk request, and that our legislature should k willing to make the necessary provisou towards granting it. The State of NeyaA has long shared the benefits of our asylsn, although that community, with full Stan Government and ample means, is we'll able to care for its own insane. Arizona is differeni ly situated. Under the Territorial goven ment. it has limited means for the care t these unfortunates. There are no suisabs buildings for their confinement and ncnf eaz be built for a long time. The iaiis ana cals booses at the towns are altogether impropet places for the care of insane persons JBdes Tweed tells us case where there is much uEr avoidable suffering, from lack of proper quar- ters for confinement. It is not probable tba. Arizona would send more than two insane persons to the California Asylum, and tbs Territory has abundant funds to pay for the keeping of all persons so sent. We hope the request will meet with favorable considerr tion.-ISan Diego Union.
 We hope so, too, and so do all the civilized people of this Trrritory. We have in our jail, here, a man who, at times, is very ugly, dangerous and annoying. The county off, cers are tired of trying to quiet him, and citi- zens who live within reach of his stentorian lungs, prefer to listen to the roaring of mad bull. We, therefore, for his sake, as well a' for the sake of those who are annoyed by him, hope that the mission ofjudge Tweed will bs successful.
The weekly Arizona miner., 1872-03-02

Very rood news has reached us from Fort po.k District. which news is to the effect that very rich deposits of silver ores, similar to those found at White Pine, Nevada, have recently been struck
 Mohave County.
 The news from Wallapai District, though mearre, is better than any we have heretofore received. A great many mining properties have recently been sold, for cash, to mei who are erecting mills and reduction works and general prosperity reigns throughout the district. The editor of the Los Angeles Stdr speaking of the district, in recent issue o his paper. says:
 s.Thc Sheriff of Sacramento District, Mo have county.-Ed. MINER. Mir. Wilburn sends us by the hand of John Beavers, som, fine specimens of ore from the Lone StaI ledge, Mineral Park District. In parts of thi, ore the native silver can be seen and polished with knife blade The Lone Star Company has five stamp mill in full operation and Is doing a fair business. We shall add these specimens to a cabinet collection which we are IOiiHlnS.
 "From the hand of Mr. J. 4. Talbott, we are in receipt of a fine specimen oi sii,er' gold and copper mixed ore from new ols, covery which was made by Dan lnsleson ana {, promises to become the richest Tn the worid.
 Yuma County. Mir. Burger. mill, near Ehrenbers, IS al- most finished, and work upon the mine Is progressing favorably.
 At Castle Dome, a short distance aoo'e Arizona City, miners are taking out great deal of ore, containing silver and lead' WHICH they arc shipping to San Francisco. Maricopa County.
 A letter from Florence, of date February 22d, has the following:
 The last heard from the Silver Queen, they were down IS feet on the ledge. The ore IS rich in gold, silver and copper.
 The weather is beautiful and warm, and vegetation is looking green. No sign of ram for the present.
 The Pimas have gone out on scout, in search of some horses they lost few nights ago. Hope they will have success and bring in a few Apache scaips.
