 IRE MINING NEWS or THE WEEK.
 The Keystone mine is maintaining its po- sition as the leading mine of the camp. The orc now being hoisted ont of the mine is su- perior to any yet taken out. The superin- tendent, Robert Stein, left here yesterday for San Francisco, to confer with the stock holders in relation to tue erection of first class mill and hoisting works, on large scale. The work of sinking will be continued dur his absence, which is expected not to exceed thirty days.
 The majority of the miners of the camp
 are busy working assessment on their mines, in accordance with the United States mining law. There is general disposition to pro- eeed more systematically and more vigorous | ly than ever before. In fact, that the Key stone, Dean and other mines have demon strated, by development, tbst the mines of the camp are permanent snd improve in richness below the water line, has given con idence Co all, hence the impetus given to mining m this quarter. There are always found in every community people who, when success is found beyond question, say, "I always told you so :" consequently, we have more prophets in this quarter than any com munity numbering five hundred in the Unit cd States. refer the case, as moral prob lcm, to Mir Herbert Spencer, Professor Proc. tor and other theorists of the same class. Perhaps Laura de Force Gordon, Mrs Doctor Mary Wolf, or the classical Mrs Clark, could give some reasons for this strange state of affairs. refer the case to those ladies under protest; they have always been my bete noir, but having confessed judgment, and the ladies having utterly repudisted our ancient and presumably well-worn titles of ''lords of ere stion," to them submit the case with all due submission.
 The Hualpai Indians are at last safely har- bored at La Pax. Capt Byrnes of Camp Bcale Springs, is deserving of great credit for his patience, tact and ability in succeeding in conveying seven or eight hundred wild indi. ans from their mountain homes, to the burn ing saods of the Colorado. am no eulogist of Captain Byrns, yet his humanity and con duct has done more than all the hostile ar ray of bristling bsyonets and the great ter TOT of the name of Crook.
 caotain Bvmes is now with these Indians. 'Sil be contented, if not happy.
 By the way. spsaking of Indians, reminds me that, the immaculate Colyers successors ID office, are being charged with numerous high crimes and misdemeanors. simply re- cite what is of camrpop reporsin this quar- ter, derived from uhdacssionable sources. That superintendent Tonner is now and has been for long time, s'puttius money in his purse" at the cost of the government. the people and the unfortunate creatures who have the misfortune to be placed under his charge. The whole Indian policy and de. parfment, SO far AS those Christian Indian peace men are concerned, is "A mockcry. A de!uslsn and snare." How long, Oh Lord, how long! Hut will reserve the doinps and saying and deeds of that happy band of bfothers--until have more time to write up the indictment.
