SHooTING or PETER HERTz.-Our Mohsye county correspondents having failed to give us particulars of the shooting and killing of the above named man, we reproduce the fol- lowing fiowery account of the same, which we lind in recent correspondence of the Inyo (Cal.) Independent;
 On 'be morning of the 18th instant we had man for breakfast in the village of Mineral Park, some six miles north of this place. One Peter Hertz had q wife. who was fond of drink, and one Jack Dolan kept . .s- loon, O. as they call them in Arkansas. T grocery" The madam called on Dolan and Dolan called on her, and it is the talk that improper relations existed between them. At D o'clock c. m. Peter called on Dolan and commenced sbooting-fired and missed Do. Ian fired and dittOed; Peter fired again with the same result; Dolan fired and kenoed. His shot missed Peters heart but an inch. and in twenty minutes Peter Hertz, the ninth man, was gone. Dolan was examined before Justice E. '. Gallager of this place and dis. charged. This little episode occupied but two days, altogether.

MARicoPA CouSTY.-Our weekly letters from Phoenix, the capital of this county, are every bit as good to the place as small weekly newspaper would be. Everybody reads them; that is everybody who reads the MINER, aDd'in this case everybody may be interpreted to include about 10000 peo- plei not that VIC have that many subscribers, but that there are several thousand persons who read the MINER and are too mean to pay for it.
 The last letter, which will be found on the hrst page of this sheet, has, among other items, news 10 the effect that the district court was about to conclude it's labors for the session; that the supervisors were resigning with vengeance; that farmers had not got through threshing grain; that D. Curran, who lately ran away with other peoples money, is very bad man that D men were making new road to Verde and Prescott {; that stations were being established along it; that Gesrge Cling, convicted of murder in the second degree, is booked to peuitentiary 10 years of his life in the jail of Pima county {: that Jos. Dawson had bis trial postponed and that some outside friend helped these two gents to get out of durance vile that the new school house was almost completed, etc.

Railroads s---Immigrants-.Excur
 gionists.

While many citizens and papers os Califor. nis are abusing the managers of tbe Central Pacific railroad, for alleged oyereharging and for an itching Co control the politics of the State, proper regard for justice and manli. ness should, we think, cause them to admit that the road has brought to their State many immigrants and thousands of excur. sionists, besides 1t has reduced taxes and in- creased the amount of taxable property m the counties through which it passes, so that it and it's managers have really done more good than evil
 No doubt, many corporations stand in great need of being refined in by the people, but furious driving is not the best mode of mik- ing them keep from drawing against the in- terests of the people. The great trans -conti- mental road has, also, accomplished great good for all other territory between California and Iowa, filling up Nebraska, Wyoming, Nevs- da, Utah and other geographical divisions with workers, sight seers, spectators, etc.
 The Kansas Pacific is another instance of what railroad has done for our western  country. It's managers have lsbored earnestly to induce immigrants to settle on and near it. Immigrants have done so, and the gain to them, the railroad and the country can scarcely be expressed in dollars. z, q. .l...'
 New Mexico and Arizona are suffering for immigrants, such as railroad would bring them, and, in tbi. sad' plight, we cannot af- ford to fight railroad corporations, bat can, ought, must encourage such bond ytde railroad men as are endeavoring to push rails in this direction.
 Col. Scott ought to be home from Europe by this time; and, as it is reported that his trip there was crowned with success, we hope and pray that he will, as speedily as possible selec. his route through New Mexico and Arizona and give us the benefit of railroad.

FRoN 300 MILES AwAr.-Our friend, J. J. Backas, formerly of this place, now of Pinos Altos, New Mexico, informs us in letter da- ted September l5, that new and good mines were, every day, being found around his place, which Is almost directly east from Prescott, near the head waters of the Gila river.
 Indians, he says, had lei, the Tularosa rss- erva''0H, and keen eyss were watching their mossmsas. Tracks had been seen around old Fort West, spot we well remenber, having esmped there in 1866. while huatias for gold.

THE "PooR" MoDoCs.-Since the recent announcement from Washington, that the worst survivors of the Modoc man. killers are to "rull hemp" as . punishment for their bloody deeds, sickly setimentalists at the East have been pulling and tugging at Presi. dent Grants coat-tails, with the view of pre- vailing upon him to whitewash the blood of our murdered dead and let their slayers loose, to rc-enact more borrid deeds. "Poor Mo- docs," these cacklng geese repeat, in and out of church. "Captain Jack is pining away,n and mercy to him and his lieutenant mur- derers would crown the President with an other laurel wreath. Out upon such drivel- CTS, who were never yet known to have such soft feelings for white criminals. The Modoc prisoners stond convicted of heinous crimes :; they deserve punishment, and, now that they have been adjudged to die, by hanging, it is but meet that they go out of this world in that way. Captain Jack, who at latest report from Fort Klamath, was sleek and fat, ex. pressed preference for bullet, but hang. ing is too good for the wretch. and we, al- though not in the least vindictive, favor mak- ing an example of him and all other Modocs who have earned death. Their going out of the world in this way may hsve good effect upon other bad Indians, ii not upon the claw hammer whites who cluster around the rob. ping ring.

MINING ITEas-In the way of mining news we have, this week, but little that is new to communicate. Bill Smiths mill, near Wickenburg, is still at work, with grand sue cess, on Vuture ore.
 The arastrss in Walnut Grove, Bradshaw and other districts are kept going night and day, crushing ore, which is yielding we'll in gold.
 The Tucson Citizen, of recent date, notes the fact that many men are at work on the Francisco river, taking ou, ws.er for pla- cer mining purposes, etc.
 A letter from Mir. Vim. Cory, of Cerbat, Mobave county, contains highly encouraging news of mines and mining in this county. Considerable rich ore was being shipped to San Francisco.

Financial Crash.

The failure of J. Cooke & O., first made public in New York Sept. IS, has been most disastrous in it's results, causing wide spread panic and terminating in the suspen- sion of some of the oldest and most reliable business firms in New York and Philadelphia. Among the most notable suspensions report. ed in New York are the following: Fisk & Hatch, Freitas & Rablion, Edwards & Beer, Eugene Jackson, Day & Morse, Hoy & War ner, Theodore Bedell, A. M. Kidder, Jacob Little & O., Thomas Reed & O., W. II. War ren & O., Greenleaf & Norris, George Bailey and Tom Scotts New York house-Ran- dolph & Co., In Philadelphia these suspen- sions arc announced: De Haven < Bro, F.. w. Clarke 6 Co.,, II. II. Douglass, c. NJ. Bayard, J. II. Yerkes, John Lloyd, and Gill baugh, Bond & Co,
 J. Cooke 6 Co. have posted the following card:
 ITO our Depositors Some little time is re. qulred 10 adjust our accounts and to hear irom our different offices when a statement will be pre- pared showing the condition of our affairs, which will be forwarded to you through the post office Until iheo we beg your kind indulgence, assuring you that every effort will be made 10 liquldate ouI entire indebtedness with the least possible delay
 It is believed that the troubles of J. Cooke < Co. were caused by their relations with the N P. R. R. Co. The secretary of tbis com pany says the line will be constructed, but work will be retarded.
 The President and Richardson have deter banks, and will purchase bonds largely and deposit a portion of the Government treasure in the National Bank Repositories tc stop the panic. It is believed, however, tha, the crisis Is past.

HE OVERLAND MONTHLY TOR OCTOBER. This number is especially attractive on &C., count of its many heavy articles-at least considered heavy by those who wish maga. zine to be made up entirely of light, and in many cases overdrswh reading matter. So among these heavy articles we may euume- rate The Late Chief Justice Chase" by Hon. Justice Field; "The English as Uni versal Language" Aboriginal she'll money" and Must, Can, and Should Money be Tax ed" These are all very valuable papers, and throw much light on the subjects treated. The article on "Prison Life in China" reveals heart-rending condition of affairs in the Celestial Kingdom. In the second paper on Seeking the Golden Fleece" Dr. Stillman gives very graphic description of the flood of 1850, at Sacramento, Cal, a most trying period in the early history of this coast. This issue certainly abounds in valuable in formation. intenpersed with q number of stories and poems. The "Etc." is varied in subjects, the article on "A Few Scientific Personals" being particularly acceptable. A number of excellent reviews grace the Cur. rent Literature department; and we notice that Musical Department has been added. giving quite an extended article on vocal and instrumental music issued in San Francisco.

BRING STocK.-The chances are now quite favorable that in the next five years, the hills and vales of Arizona will be we'll stocked with sheep, horses, mules, cattle, etc, and now is the time for citizens of California and other States, who arc casting around for good ranges, to come here and locate. Grass is good all over the Territory, water is pretty plentiful, and the Indians can never draw as they have drawn upon stock men.

There has been a reaction in the New York money market for the better. The banks have issued ten millions in loan certificates, and are now arranging for another issue of the same amount. In Albany and Philadelphia the excitement is over, and the New York banks, with a few exceptions, are considered sound.

THE WHEELER EAPkDITIoH.--A Salt Lake dispatch of Sept. l9, says:
 Lieut.. Wheeler has arrived from Csmp Apache, Arizona. The results of the expedi- ton so far have been in the highest degree satisfactory. The astronomical portion of the campaign has been more successful than was anticipated. The typographical and ge. ologieal results of the survey in East ,rn Ar izoDa are perfectly wonderful. A country was discovered with magnificent parks, trees and woods, far exceeding any portion of Col. orado.
 This country was discovered several years sgo but it is we'll to have 1t "dis- covered again, " ssd spoken of by such per son.

French, of Prescott, which letter Mr W. has very kindly permitted us to peruse, subs,an. tiates the foregoing, and praises Major Ran dall for bis efforts to drive devils out of the Indian swine.
 Then, fresh trail of stolen stock and h. dian captors has recently been seen going in inc direction Of Cschise's reservation, which is new evidence that all is not right there.
 In this dilemms, Gen Crook ought to have more troops, more power over Apaches on reservations, and more means to carry out tbe serious work before him. The fact is patent, Apache dogs will not down at our bidding. They will treat today; f.tten a, public cribs and then follow the impulse of their devilish nature by robbing and murder ing some of their benefactors. Wish it were in our power to secure and ship the last of the red scoundrels out of the Territory.
