Method of Working Low Grade Cop
 per Ores.

MT. Samuel Hughes, assaYer, has recent iy received from Dr. Hunt of Boston, description of his method of treating poor copper ores, the points of which we print as they may prove of interest to our mining public. The process is adapted to almost all copper ores, but we shall here describe concisely its application to low grade pyritous ores. Such ores either in raw state, or after roasting in heaps, are ground so as to pass through sieve of twenty five meshes to the linear inch, and calcined in reverberatory furnace. The object is not dead roast, but the oxyda- tien of all or nearly all the copper and sulphur. The ore is then withdrawn and placed in vats where it is leached with hot, strong brine, holding five per cent. or more of protochlorid of iron, which converts the insolUble oxide of copper into soluble chloride and dichlorlde of copper The liquid as It flows from the vats is conducted through covered chan nels filled with scrap iron, by which the whole of the copper is thrown down in d metallic form, while at the same time, the protochloride of iron which had been consumed in chloridizing the oxide of copper, is regenerated. The bath is thus rendered fit (wlthout any further addition of the protochloride) to be used to treat a fresh portion of roasted ore, and so on indefinitely. The solution is slightly aug mented in bulk by water used in washing the residues; this is evaporated by driving through the regenerated bath (from which the copper has previously been precipitat- ed) by means of a Roots gas exhauster, a portion of hot air and gases from the fue of the roasting furnace. By this means, also, little sulphurous acid is added to the bath, serving to prevent the loss of chlorine, which, in certain cases, takes place from the formation of basic iron persalt. The residues from the working contain from one-third to one-half per cent. of copper. This process is well adapted to argentiferous copper ores, since the bath takes up the silver with the copper. The method has been used successfully in North Carolina on very | poor ores-as low as three and half to five per cent.

PACIFIC COAST MATTERS.

SAN DIEGO, March 22.-Mr. Wells oi Wells, Fargo & Co.,, states that he expects his son here shortly, and that he will start him at once over the proposed new eX- press route to perfect arrangements.
 MT. Wells is extremely hopeful for Ari- zona, and said that it was only question of time when Arizona would be ranked among our leading mining sections. The company will offer unusual facilities foI the shipment of bullion.
 SAN FRANCISCO, March 25.-Wetmore's last letter to The Alta, is very plimen- tary to Delegate Mccormick of Arizona. He says that MT. Mccormick has been of fered the governorship of two important Territories, but he has declined in each case, persisting in his determination to retire fropa public life.
 It is raining hard here. The late rain will be of great benefit to the grain crops.

EASTERN STATES.

WASHINGTON, March 22.-It having be- come known that Andrew Johnson would speak on the Louisiana question to-day, the Senate galleries were crowded before the opening hours, so that there was not even standing room, while on the floor of the Senate were many members of the House and other listeners. Johnson re- ferred to the trouble in Tennessee in 1866, quoting his dispatches to Gen. Thomas ordering him strictly to abstain from in- reference. He then referred to the re- moval of Gen. Sheridan from the con- mand of the fifteenth military district in 1867, and said it was done in consequence of a vail which came up from the people of that section. Why was it, said John- son, that this man Sheridan had been Se- lected and sent back to those people who had condemned his rule and prayed for his removal? He said he knew the de- termination of the people of the south. Their great object was to be restored to the Union. He would tell some of those who are acting behind the curtain, that if they 'Xpected to stir up civil strife and amid the war-cry and disorder, have one man ride into power for third term, then they might bid farewell to liberty. Referring to the action Ot Grant in regard tc LOuiSi- ana, Johnson said he would say to this emperor what Cato said to the embassa- dor of Caesar, let him diSband his legiOnS and restore the commonwealth to liberty let him do that, and he, Johnson, hum ble as he was, would mount the TOStrum and strive to have the indignant people par don him, Grant, for his violations of law.
 WASHINGTON, March 23.-It is reported that Gen. Crooks headquarters will be re- moved from Omaha to a new station in the Black Hills.
 WAsHINGToN, March 24.-In the Senate to-day the resolutions approving Presi- dent Grants course in dealing with the Louisiana difficulties were adopted by @ strict party vote, thiity-three ayes to twen- ty-three nays. Senators Johnson and Booth, who compose the Independent par ty in the Senate, voted with the Demo- crats in the negative.
 SIOUX CITY, March 25.-It is reported that large body Of Indians are on the war path after the miners in the Black Hills country. Troops have been sent to bring back the miners and burn their outfits.
 NEW YORK, March 2S.-Andrew John- sons speech on the Louisiana question has rather disappointed public expecta- tion. It is criticised as verbose, common place, and egotistical. Still it's practical, independent treatment of the southern question is regarded with favor by his friends.

AS will be seen by our Florence dispatch the issuance Of an order on the requisition of the governor of Kansas, by the govern. or of New Mexico for the return of old Bender to Kansas, is consistently explain ed. Gov. Stafford issued an order last Tuesday, in pursuance of a requisition from Kansas, for the return of the Flor ence Bender, who may be the real one of murderous faDse.
 Notwithstanding all tha. has been said and done regarding this reputed Bender at Florence, we doubt very much if he be the simon pure Bender. The published inter- views with him contain absolute contra dictions which we observed at the time, but did not say so in print. He first said he was never married and an old bache- Tor; afterward in the same interview spoke naturally about his wife and children. Other about as gross contradictions ap- peared. Then when he was in Tucson, several parties conversed with hin, and the impression was left upon them that he was not Bender, and he could easily have escaped from his keepers here, for at times they were in town when our citizens were out conversing with him. We predict that this man will never be identified or prov en as Bender

A MINER asks us to give an answer to the following: ~--- ' FF'es12r TaeE claim 15Q0 feet on one ledge each holding 375 feet. They then locate three extensions on the same lode. think they have no right to extensions, but they cite several Arizonians as author ity."
 There is nothing in the existing United States mining law to prevent one or more persons from holding as many claims of not to exceed l500 each, as they choose to provided they comply with the require ments of said law with reference to loca- ton and improvements or development. We believe inasmuch as the United States law does not affirmatively declare that the same person or persons may locate more than one claim on the same lode, that the miners may by local regulations prevent them doing so, and absolutely restrict the same persons in the matter of location to one claim on the same lode. For exam pie: The United States law says one or more persons or company may locate 1900 feet in one claim, hence it would not be within the power of miners to prevent the location of claims to that extent. The law of Congress does not expressly say the same person or persons may take more than one such claim on the same lode, therefore local law containing a prohibition to do it. could hardly be con strued to be in conflict with the United States law. All local laws or regulations
 
 Congressional mining act, are recognized as binding upon all parties, and must be so construed by officers of the government.

Especial Dispatches to THE CITIzEN.l ]
ARIZONA.

FLORENCE, March 23.-The extract taken from the New Mexican of the 4th inst, and published in THE CITIZEN of the 20th inst. referring to the Bender case, is un- doubtedly misunderstood. The governor or New Mexico may have issued an order on the 4th inst. for old man Bender, and that the said Bender was in custody of the sheriff of Grant county previous to the first inst, is an undenlable fact, but as the circumstances occurred. this sheriff was unfortunate in losing his prisoner at San Pedro, consequence of which was the non- arrival of the prisoner at Silver city to meet the requisite Order.
 PRESCOTT, March 24-The citizens of Prescott, on behalf of the people of Ari- zona, gave Gen.

Kautz are Brevet Maj. Thomas Will helm. Eighth Infantry, adjutant-general; i; and Lieut.. E. D. Thomas, aid -de-camp, Fifth Cavalry.

 FLORENCE, March 25.-A great excite ment prevails in PInal county on account of the recent discovery of rich silver ledg- es, located twenty miles northeast of Florence. Several tons. ot the ore were brought to town few days ago, and DOT tiOn of it assayed by competent assayers, who are perfectly satisfied that it will yield from four to five thousand dollars per ton. Dr. w. W. Jones and MT. Brad shaw of Wickenburg, in company with several strangers, left yesterday for the new field of discovery. Fourteen practic- al proSpectorS from the vicinity of Flor ence, started out this morning for the re- zion of wealth.
 PRESCOTT, March 25.-Gen. Crook and staff consisting of Capt. A. H. Nickerson and family and Lieut.. J. G. Bourke left here this morning for the department of the Platte via Bakersfield and San Fran cisco.
