ROBBERY BY PIMA ISDiASs.--Our friend c', at Florence, writes that, August 24, a party of Pima Indians robbed the house of lgnatio Robledo, of GOO pounds of wheat and all his household goods. C.. pertinently asks if the peaceahle CD Pinas are not amen. bIe to the same laws as white men, and states his belief that if they had good supply of grcenbacks the robbers would be arrested and marched to the county jail without delay.

A New Departure.

Being firm believer m the axiom that, Ut is never too late to do good," we boldly announce, to an old and new patrons and readers of the MISER, that we, the editor, have mustered sufficient courage to "pop the question: to one of Arizona's fairest and best daughters, who has, for some unaccountaole reason, said "yea,n to our proposal, and agreed to become Mrs. Marion. Wedding to take place at the residence of Mr. and Mrs Ed. W. Wells, in Prescott, on the 18th inst. Reception, at the residence of the parties of the first and second part, Tn the evening of the same day, to which latter trying cerc' mony friends from here, there, everywhere, are cordially invited to come and not stay too long,.
 As some people may have desire to know the name of the lady who has condescended to become the better half of poor Arizona editor, we will honor her and gratify their laudable desire by printing it in capitals, - MISS FLORA E. BANGHART, of Chino Valley, in this county and Territory.
 And, now, for few remarks, of personal nature: Over ten years of our life have beer passed in Arizona, seven of which have beer devoted to the service of patrons and readers of the MINER Daring these ten years, w' have prospected, mined, risked our life among Indians, suffered hardships innumerable sewed on many button, Topped many tiaI jack, and upon several occasions, gone to bed on Mother Earth, tired, hungry and littl alarmed about the permanency of our scalp During all these long years, we were no strictly happy no, indeed. That somethn which the God of Nature has planted i every mans bosom, made us yearn for part ner,-a woman, if you please, "Gods bes gift to man." Quartz claims, placer claim auxiliary claims had we in abundance, bt all these did not satisfy us, Now, howeye we have, at last, struck "claim" to Mi Flora, and said claim is not for sale. Vii her we hope to glide down lifes rugged pat way in pleasant way. With her, and wi but little else, we propose to take new d psrture; to commence anew the battle
 life; to earn an honest livelihood out of t MISEs, to which we must, hereafter, if pc sible, devote more excruciating toll al thought; to labor for the advancement ar prosperity of Arizona, and, last, but not lea to trim our sails for voyage over the Riv of Tirae to that Land beyond the gra
 where transplanted souls live, in bappine fer oToT and ever. -

Messrs. Ganahl, Forster, Hammond, Her bert and Moreland, who started last Friday to Bradshaw mines, returned on Wednesday of this week. Friday evening thunder shower caught the party on the head of Tur- key creek, fifteen miles from Prescott, and stad with them to the station, six miles fur ther on, giving them notable soaking, and during their stay at Bradshaw rain fell al- most constantly. The strangers in the party were, we hear, well pleased with the excur sion and accomplished the object they had in view, viz: the examination of certain mines.
 Jesse Jackson, from Bradshaw, came in with the party above mentioned, and reports the whole country as being thoroughly wet down. At the War Eagle mill where water for some months has been scarce, it has been too plenty during ten days past, flooding the creek the mill stands on, filling up the wells at the mill with dirt, leaves, etc. and piling up drift wood ten feet high by the mill, wash. ing away valuable tailings and frewood, and causing some expense and delay in clearing away the rubbish. rt'
 On the War Eagle mine everything is pro- gressing we'll. Jackson & O. have 800 feet on the lode, and have three shafts started on their claim. The deepest, working shaft, is 65 feet deep, and since the rains came they have quit working in it on account of foul air, and are now getting out pay ore from a tunnel running in on the lot from gulch which cuts the vein near the south end of the claim. An open cut was run in l5 feet and the tunnel is in thirty-fiye feet from the end of the cut. The drift or tunnel is carried along the east line of the vein and they find streak of pay orc four feet wide, and on tho dumps at tunnel and shaft they have now l0C tons of selected ore worth S30 to $40 pei ton free gold.
 On the same vein, McKinnon & Goodwin are running two arastrss, north of Jacksoni claim. The last clean up they made they re alized S95 per ton and are now working mucl richer ore.
 The California Company, on the Bentor lode--betweeD the War Eagle and the Tigc companies, and it is believed on the sam, lode--are sinking shalt outside the lode ex pec,ing to cut the Fame a: q depth of abou 100 feet. The shaft is now down over thirt, feet. Y. &. sheckols, of Davis < Sheckels

Advices from Ehrenbcrg say that that place was visited by the heaviest storm of wind and rain, August 30 and 3l, that has been expe- rienced there for years. The mail wagon with Miss II. Foster, passenger, crossed the Colorado before the storm began. The ferry boat, with Col. J. Nj. Barney and Dr. J. A. Tonner on board, en route for San Francisco, had just reached the western bank when the first wind blast struck the river, and it was with difficulty the boat was secured to the landing, and one hour passed before the car riage could be landed.
 At the same time, above the ferry, an In- dian buck and squaw were crossing the river and though they got upon a submerged bar In the middle of the stream that gave them some foothold, the storm was so violent that the squaw could not hold up against the cur rent and was drowned. As the wind subsded rain set in furiously and lasted forty hours.
 Miller Bros train with supplies for the In dian reservation was working up the river slowly through the mud, and were likely tc reach the agency Sept. 2.
