The California Earthquakes.

California papers have long and minute accounts of the terrible earthquake in Inyo County, Cal, which we have not space to give in full. The principal force of the shocks, seems to have been expended in the vicinity of the village of Lone Pine, Not an adobe or brick building was left standing there, and many frame buildings were thrown down also. Twenty seven persons are repor- ted killed, and thirty to forty wounded and bruised by the falling buildings.
 The towns of Independence, Cerro Gordo, and Blind Springs suffered considerably, and the remarkable statement is made that at the latter place, where the shock threw down brick buildings, miners were at work 300 feet under ground who declare that they felt no shock.
 Three volcanoes are reportedas having opened in the mountains near Lone Pine, and as be- ing in active operation. Chasms in the earth, from few inches to several feet in width, were opened, some of them extending for miles. Many springs were dried up, and many new ones have appeared.
 The first shock came about two o'clock in the morning, and was followed by great number of more feeble ones, at short inter- vals for forty eight hours.
 Had this terrible shaking occurred in a thickly settled country, the loss of life and property would have been frightful.

MINES AND MINING.

The miners of the several counties and districts of the Territory are as fuil of hope as ever, if not more so.
 Here in Yavapai county, the Vulture, Iii ger, Del Pasco, Benjamin and other mining companies, are hard at work.
 Wallapai District, Mohave county, is still uppermost in the minds of miners, prospect ors, adventurers and capitalis ts. A recent letter from Wm. A. Mix informs us that ma terial capable of resisting fire had been found so that the furnaces will be in operation soon
 Mir. Hardy's little mill was working out bullion, and the only thing that has recently retarded work in the district was wet weather.
 Judge Howard gives good report of the mines in Yuma county. Mir. Borger's mill, near Ehrenberg, was visited by him. It is nearly ready for crushing. He says he likes the mill and mine, and believes that success will crown Mir. Borger's efforts.
 He also visited the Conquest mine, and found the ore very literally supplied with free gold.
 The miners of Castle Dome were extract ing ore and shipping it to San Francisco.
 The Silver Queen company, in Maricopa county, is meeting with good success.
 Considerable prospecting is being done in Pima county.
 Oflate, parties from New Mexico have been prospecting the streams in eastern Arizona, for placer gold, and one party-thas of Colonel Rynenon, found very fair pros poets on the Francisco. Another party was preparing to try the Priera.
 Several mining experts, mill-men, capital ists and agents for capitalists are now in the Territory, prospecting" for chances, and we do hope that in talking and dealing with them. owners of mines will bear in mind the important facts that their mines-though rich-are far from the great centers of popu' lation, far from railroads, and in country beset wish hostile savages.

THE APACHES.

The Apaches have again robbed. and (this last time) completely ruined one of the most industrious and deserving of our citizens Wm. Simmons, an honest, honorable man who, by hard work, has endeavored to earn living for himself and family. Not only this, but the murderous brutes have wound ed another man and attempted to wound, kill or capture one more. This, too, after repeat ed attempts on the part of the Government to convert the savages, by the feeding and betting policy. Is this not too badf 1t IS. But, will it not prove to all sensible men that the incorrigible Apache race can never be conquered by kindness. All Arizonans know this, but all Americans do not. More IS the pity for us. It is time that the Government and the entire people of the States should view this question in its proper light; to see it as we see it to feel it as we feel it, at this time, when after about ten years ot trial and suffering in. this Apache-ridden land, we count over 600 citizens who have been mur- dered by Apaches; and our loss in stolen stock, grain, burned houres, etc, by the hun- dreds of thousands of dollars.
 Is there no pity in the National bosom for the suffering whites of Arzona7 Are they, for no cause of theirs, to be left to the mercy of ungodly barbarians? Will not the recent prayer of the Legislature of California, the voice of its Press and people move the hard heart of the Administration to do something that will bring us peace and security? VIII not the insulting replies of bloody minded, crafty Cachise, to General Granger and Ind ian Agent Pope brand Colyer & Co. as liars of the worst sort, for be it remembered, Colyer & Co. have, time and again, asserted that Ca chise was anxious to visit his great Father at Washington and make lasting peace, " We think and hope so. Indeed, we have as- surances that President Grant understands the situation here, and will protect us, and, to-day, we learn by the letter which we pub lished elsewhere, from our correspondent at Camp Mcdowell, that the new Peace Com missioner General O. O. Howard) has seen and learned enough since his recent advent into this Territory, to satisfy him that, al- though the lion and the lamb may, at some future time, of their own accord, lie down to- gether in peace, nothing short of powder, lead, hardship, and starvation can ever make the Apaches live in peace with us.
 The language of Cachise proves this, and to this we point, with pleasure, for proof that Colyer said what was not so when he assert ed that the Apaches were anxious for peace, and that the whites of this Territory were eager for, and bent upon prolonging the war.
 Cachise has vindicated the truth of our position, and his language shows plainly, that he spurns all offers of peace and assistance from Americans and their Government.

THE MEXICAN QUESTION.

Anarchy and bloodshed are the only fruits of Mexican attempts at self government Bad Mexicans never tire of cutting throats, and we are sorry to be compelled to say that good Mexicans are rather scarce; yet there are some of this kind.
 We would not have had so much to say on this matter were it not for the penchGnt some Mexicans have for murdering Americans, and as the southern portion of this Territory is now darkened and threatened by gruff-look. ing greasers from Sonora, our citizens appre- bend that the said greasers mean big, bad business.
 Were our few border settlers strong enough to march on Sonoro, take and hold it, we should counsel such move but, with the Apaches punching away at every sore spot, they cannot pay proper attention to the half-breeds of Sonora. They must, how ever, continue on their guard against them lest they come unawares and murder and rob, as they have often before done We could live in peace with Sonora, but, il seems, Sonora cannot live m peace with us and for this reason may yet provoke our gov ernment SO that it will go to work and re. construct not only Sonora, but the whole O Mexico.
 We don't care to sec it come 10 this, bu if it is manifest destiny, the sooner the bar barians of Mexico are brought under th' range of Ku-KIux bills and cannon, tho bet ter for all concerned.
 We see ray of hope in the following tel egram from Washington
 Generals Sheridan and Auger have bee' directed by orders from the War Departmen to use extraordinary efforts to capture an, deliver over to the civil authorities for trial all persons that raid from Mexico into Texas
 Why General Crook is not ordered to d' so is past our comprehension.

The Governments Indian Policy
From the San Francisco Call.


 The vacillating policy exhibited by the Administration and Congress concerning the Indian policy necessary for this coast, is somewhat lamentable. Not unfrequently the troops stationed at the frontier posts are in fantry instead of mounted men. Their sour ces of supply are of.en precarious. An officer is sent out with instructions to punish the hostile savages but before he can get his forces in the field he is supplanted by new commander. The tactics are then changed and the do-nothing system adopted. Next a commissioner comes along to inquire into the wrongs of the Indian, who returns to Washington and denOunces those who have defended themselves against their incursion or retaliated in kind, as murderers. Then came an order to pet and feed the Indians. Tn the meantime, taking advantage of every opportunity, one tribe, or portion of tribe secures the provisions, while another goes on the warpath to capture more, and slaughter the settlers who offer resistance to their rob- berries. Thus, history repeats itself from year to year. The savages grow bolder and bolder, while the settlers are compelled to abandon their homes and flee for safety to the more denscly populated districts. The Government never grows wiser, but like a weathercock changes its policy on every idle representation of the deceived philanthropist, whose sympathy for the savage grows-not out of the real condition of things, but from theory that has, perhaps, been taught him in school books, that the Indians were the original owners of the land, and are entitled to it by the law of possession, notwithstand- ing Government has extended laws over their territory, and by that act invited occupancy by the White man, with an implied under standing that he shall be protected in his peaceful pursuits. The latest gross error that Congress seems on the verge of commit ting, is to appropriate large sum of money to the Apaches. " to keep them," as the dis patch expresses it, from making war" How the grim warriors of the tribe will smile when they hear of this! They gre so much dreaded that they are to be bought off. The money will be acceptable to them, and receiv- ed with as many fair promises, soon to be broken, as have heretofore characterized their treacherous nature. Then the troops will perhaps he entirely withdrawn from Arizona, and Cachisc have a clear field for the extermination of the White Invader When the Indian Appropriation bill was taken upin the Senate, containing the clause thus to paci6cate the Apaches, MT. Cole re- marked that they "could be more cheaply, wisely and effectively dealt with by the military arm of the Government" ;" and that is the opinion ofevery one who has the least knowledge of the Apache character.

A Piute Indian hey has His Leg Cus
Cd ~ tho Cars sssIcisA Of The
YsunE Brave.
About ten o'clock yesterday fore
noon a little Pluto Indian boy about
nine years Of age had his right leg run
over BY an ore train on the Virginia
and Truckee Railroad, near the Main
street station, Gold Hill, and amputa-
ton was the Inevitable result. The
train, heavily loaded with ore, had
just LEFT the station and was proceed
Ing very slowly around the curve.
Quite a number Of Indians bucks,
squaws, and pappooses were on the
loads Of ore, and this little fellow de-
string to be with them, undertook to
climb up by the foot-board at the side.
As he did so he reached his right foot
under to step on tho brake-rod be-
tween the wheels, but missed and
slipped. his leg passing directly In
front Of the hind wheels. He did
not let 20 the foot-board, however, but
chung to It most ~teraciously, and was
dragged along some little distance be-
fore the train was stopped, which was
done as soon as possible, the conductor
witnessing the accident. The Juvenile
warrior never shouted once, nor even
whimpered. By direction Of Nj. Hay,
the section agent, he was taken at once
to the office Of DR.. Hall, who, with the
assistance Of DR.. Kirby, amputated the
limb about half way between the ankle
and knee. The unlucky youth made no
complaint whatever, from first to last,
except when partly under the influence
Of chloroform. Then, as ne was losing
his natural senses and fortitnde no
showed signs Of alarm, and made a
few little outcrles. WNen all was
over and he was himself again, he
gazed curiously at the curtailed menu
Der and at the doctors evidently COM
pretending fully the situation and his
loss. Meanwhile Mr.. Hay had pro.
CURED a permit to send the patient to
the County Hospital, and In order that
he might put In q good appearance at
that Institution, he also procured u
new shirt and a pair OF nice pants,
with stripes down the sides. Those
pants delighted the gaze Of the young
warrior, aud he smiled with real Joy,
as he eagerly seized them, and nnss.
sisted put them on, showing his MANNED
leg into them as though he had made
something by the operation. DIR. Hall
was OF the opinion that for another
pair Of pants or a new hat he wouldn't
mind losing n piece OF the other leg.
