MINES AND MINING.

Joe. Vorshay, formerly of Prescott, claims to have discovered zinc mine of great rich ness, not far from San Bernardino.
 The Guardian gives Isanpah mining dis trict big puff; saying among other things that Don Primitive Ceryantes, pioneer in this county. has leased several mines and is putting up mill and furnace for reducing ores. We hope Iyanpah will turn out well, as IL Is near our borders, and success there will help matters in Wallapai District.
 The great excitement in To, Angeles and San Bernardino now, is over discoveries of borax-borate of lime-near Desert Springs and slate range. Some of the deposits are very rich
 From Wickenburg, we learn that Smiths Mill cleaned up very satisfactorily, (no par tlculars given,) and that the disbursements oi bullion in town was very pleasing.
 Nothing new in the mining line near Pres colt, and there is no use looking for that kind Of news. new discovery would make no stir, unless vein of gold or silver, rich enough to cut up with cold chisels into bullion right on the dump, should be found.
 From MOhaye county, we learn that the Hope lode, referred to in the MINER of the Sd inst, proves to be all that could be desired. It Is, in places, 30 feet wide, produces silver copper glance, assays iron $50 per ton up in to the thousands, and has been traced out and located for ,venty-teo miles.
 w. II. Hardy has made arrangements with other parties 10 run his mill at Mineral Park for time, and the mill is doing we'll; a run has been made on ore from the Rosebud, and another from Lone Star ores, both very sat lsiactory, and is now working ore from the Cupe! and Little Tiger Company's mines. The hosting machinery on the latter mines IS working we'll and the Superintendent, Mir. Charles Spencer, is getting things pertaining to the mines in first rate order. A force is at work drifting and stopeing on the 100 foot level in the Lone Star mine, and taking out very rich ore.

An Outrageous Bargain.

Washington despatch says that Indian Commissioner Smith has received petition from the Chiefs of the Kiowa, Comanche and Cheyenne Indians asking for the release of their big Chiefs, Santanta and Big Tree, who were captured and sentenced to death for murders committed by them a year ago. The sentence was afterwards commuted to imprisonment for life, and they have been in prison in Texas. The Indians promise if the Chiefs are released they will do anything that is required of them, and would return all the stolen property in their possession. The above formal appeal had been preceded by urgent requests for the release of the imprisoned
 Indians, and the Indians were told that il they re- turned all the captiyes and stolen property well and give promises for future good conduct that the Great Father would intereede for them. Ac- cordingIy after they had fully complied with the demands of the government, Governor Davis was Big Tree and they are being held for tEe present only until provision can be made for their safe escort.
 This despatch is dated April 18th, two days after the news of the Modoc Massacre had reached Washington, and is another sick ening example of the line of action adopted by the Indian Peace Commission, and seems to us to be a most pusillanimous bargain, and disgrsceful outrage on the people of Texas. Those notorious Indian Inurderers and thieves ought, in justice to the public, and as warning to their tribes, to have been hung when first taken. If they are re. leased there is nothing that will please the sayages that We may not expect at the hands of the Quaker Commission.

Paciied Indians.

Numbers of Apache-M Mohaves were in town on Wednesday, some clothed in soldiers uni. form, others nearly naked, and partly clad in citizens old clothes. But nearly all were armed, and they had all descriptions of guns; we noticed old Missippi yaugers, Hawkins ri- iies, Springfield muskets, Sharp's and Spen- cer's carbines, Colts, Smith Wesson's and other pistols, and plenty of knives. Some of these fellows were employed as soldiers dur ing the winter, under Gen. Crook, against thu Tonto and Pinal Indians, their natural enc. mics, and did good service; but it was rather aggrayating 10 see some of the oldest of the party, who have doubtless scalped many a white man, parading our streets with powder horns, bullet pouches, belts, guns, etc, that we are sure they procured from the victims of their ambuscades in years gone by. We hope they have buried the hatchet forever, but should prefer meeting them on the high way or m the mountains, without such good arms in their hands.

The Great Chief.

II the nows is true that Capt. Jack aad his Modoc braves have escaped from the lava fields, and got into the mountains, he is to- day the greatest Indian chief west of the Rocky mountains. The reports given in the Oregon papers that the Snakes, Klamath and Pitt River Indians know all about the result of the war, and that they are prepared to rein force the Modocs if they get out, is doubtless correct
 Captain Jack with hls own hand performed deed, in murdering Gen. Canby, that at once placed him on the highest pinnacle of Tn dian fame. He slew the greatest chief of the white men those Indians had ever seen, and If he raises his war cry in the mountains. we look for news that the disaffected Indians from all the neighboring tribes will flock to him, as the w0rst Apaches In Arizona have, during the past live years, gone to Cachse.
 The contempt for the white man naturally felt by the savages, must be ten-fod increas- ed by the fact that Captain Jack with seven ty-fye Modoc braves whipped ten times their number, killed their great chief and his staff of white flag men, and then made their escape from the combined force of artillery, cavalry and infantry.
 Even should Captain Jack be captured and hung, as he deserves, according to Indian be. lief, his heaven Is secure, and the story of he proves and final glosiass deed will fire the heart of the remaining ssyages in Oregon tor years t0 come.

THE APACHE WAR.
Delchay Surrenders.

The grapevine telegraph gives the following interesting batch of news:
 Capt. Rindall's command surrounded Del chsy's camp on Canon Creek, April 9, and fired about twenty shots, when Dechay hois- ted white flag and asked permission to sur render. Capt. Randall told him he had 80 often made peace only to break it, that he (Randal) did not have any confidence in his present assertions.
 Delchay commenced crying and said he would do anything he would be ordered to do. He wanted to save his people, us they were starving Every rock had turned into soldier and his people were hunted down as they never had been before. He had noth- ing to ask for but his life. He would accept any terms. Capt. Randall said the terms should be unconditional surrender as prison CTS of war. These terms were accepted and Delsbay is now on White Mountain Reserva- ton, under the charge of our Apache soldiers. This triumph of Randalrs is some recon pense for his hard work during the recent campaign. No officer stands higher in the esteem and confidence of the Department and his fellow-solders than George NJ. Ranall Everybody at Apache is satisfied of the sincerity of Delchay's professions, based as they now are upon \ sense of fear

We get the following from the Tucson Cit. izen of May 3:
 Peter Egloff, Thomas Miller, Charles Nel- son and G. Fenning left here this week to prospect in the Huachuca Mountains, 80 miles southeast of Tucson. They have supplies for two months, and intend to make A thor. ough search through that country. Thirty years ago the MeXica1s did considerable min ing there, but were driven out by the Apaches and their works destroyed. Simpson and Lieut. Cushing were murdered by the Indians about two years ago while trying t0 explore these mountains. Placer gold has been found in many places in that section. It is one of the most beautiful portions of Arizona, and there IS plenty Of game, wood and water.
 Lee & Scott brought from the Santa Cata- rina this week, a pole 67 feet long, and as straight as an arrow. J. w. Hopkins pur- chased it for fag-stuff.
 Seven emigrant wagons and six families, from near Los Angeles, California, passed through Tucson on Monday, for Texas Most of them had lived lD Texas before. They say that California ls not good place for poor people and that land Is too high, etc. We know Of no better place for poor people Co get a start than in Arizona, but It Is necessary to practice some economy and little industry We know Of several who commenced with nothing and have hired ell their work done who curse their work because they are not rich

A Word of Caution.

To-day we are congratulating ourselves and the outside world, that the peace commission, headed by Gen. Crook, has resulted in getting the Indians, generally, upon reservations, and that SO few acts of hostility have been com mitted this spring. ltis well to rejoice over so great change, but it is also well to relax no portion of the vigilance exercised in times past. There are Indians yet in the mountains, and those on the reservations are there, not because they like tlie situation, but because they are afraid of being killed, because they have been driysa by the troops from one point to anotber, losing many oe their warr- ors by the waysde, hurried along so that they had but little time to collect food, and no time Co plant their usual crops. Hunger and fear drove them in.
 On the Verde reservation, last Monday, there were l.lS7 Indians, and by this time the Apache Mohaves from Date Creek have reached there, and 600 redskins are now be- ing fed at that reservation. But the redskins did not all leave Date Creek as the last count at that post showed 592, and Lieut. Schuyler took only 3GO of them to the Verde. The re- mainder, and they are the young braves oi the tribe, are yet at large and refuse to go upon the Verde reservation, and will not un- til they get another lesson or two from Gen. Crooks peace makers.
 The Indians who are now eating govern ment rations, may, at any time. make up 1 fighting party, and slip out to rayage the country. Their natural disposition is not changed, they are burning with hate and q desire for revenge for the death of their friends and relatives slain during the campaign. A. the remnants of all the tribes in northern Cal ifornia and Nevada, in Oregon and Washing ton Territory, are reported to be showing symptoms of malice toward the whites, sym pathy towards the ModOcs, and readiness tC take the war path should Capt. Jack and hi, followers escape; so should any fight between the Apaches and the soldiers result in the sue cess of the Indians, a circumstance not i'm possible or improbable. those now on reser vations may take the field again, without [ moments warning. Let all be prepared tC meet them.

Mohave County News.

From four of our wallapai correspondents we get the current news of that aourishinp mining district, most of which is to be found in the letter of W. J. R. in another column. The Modoc news have crowded out some pre- vlous communications from these writers who must excuse the MINER for making short paragraphs of their letters. Let it suffice To say that waste of good beef is made bv killing thirty head of cattle every ten days Tor Indian rations; as much of it spells before It can be eaten in the hot weather and we are promised some items under that head.
 The mill at Mineral Park in connection with two furnaces is doing a fine business.
