MINERAL PARK, June l5, 1872.

MINERAL PARK, June 10, 1872. To the Eilor of le Arizona Miaer:
 Since my last nothing has occurred that has quickened the pulse of this spathetic community to any apprebensive degree; the comatose state of the mining mind may have been temporarily disturbed by an occasional episode-such as the discovery of very rich mine, or the cleaning up at the little mill, of quantity of ore yielding $l,0O0 or upwards per ton-but beyond tbis, the camp has preserved its usual condition of placidity. The Mines
 The prospects for the success of this Dis trict are decidedly encouraging. Hardy & Sanders little mill has been constantly em- ployed on small lots of ore from various To- calities, resulting in figures satisfactory in the highest degree. The last lot worked was from the Donahue mine, situate at Chloride, which paid about sl, 100 per ton.
 The furnaces at Cerbat and Chloride have not, so far, proved a success. The precise nature of the difficulties encountered have not been made public. Knowing ones, how ever, intimate that the managers are not suf- ficiently familiar with the ores-that they do not use proper fluxes-but predict an early success.
 E. NJ. Smith, Major Wheeler and several gentlemen from San Francisco have ar rived, and will commence work upon their mines on an extensive scale. Taking every thing into consideration, it may be recorded that the country looks promising.
 The Walapai Indians, who prowl about the mines, gaining precarious living upon what they can ind and steal, had little pri- vate row of their own few days since. It appears that noble red man invaded the sacred precincts of another's harem and sought to entice away one of its guileless in- mates. The finale was shooting affair, in which no one was hurt
 Messrs. Cory & Potts, two amiable young gentlemen from your city, have opened fine stock of goods at Cerbat. Wish them suc- cess. SULPHURET.

Damaging Testimony.

The San Diego Union, of recent date, publishes dispatch dated Washington, May 2S, which fairly bristles with charges against the Administration and the Military Ring, 1" for General Badeau's course in stripping the
 War Department of records, taking them to London with him, and never having returned them. Testimony to this effect has, accord ing to the dispatch, been elicited from clerks and other persons in the War Department.

War with Spain.

England has escaped whipping No. 3, at our hands, but Spain, insignificant Spain, will surely get spanked if she does not accede to the demand of our Government and give up Dr. Houard. Preparations are being made to whip Spain. Meanwhile, the Apaches, O. manches and other domestic enemies may continue to kill, capture and rob American citizens,-the Administration may threaten but will not coerce them.

 We will endeavor to celebrate the coming anniversary of the independence of our coun- try, in some way. Itis one of our inalenable rights, and no matter what 'ce, the people of Prescott and other places in Arizona may see fit to do on that day, we, the editor of the MINER, mean to have good, old fashioned blow out on the glorious anniversary. We would, if we could,
