Yuma COum5y.
From The Sentinel of Last Satul

From The Sentinel of Last Saturday We have seen the quarterly state Iments of the net yield of two mines in the Castle Dome District, for the Iquarter ending June 30, filed in the county recorder, according to law. These statements are as follows: Hop kins mine, w. L. Hopkins, $154; Flora Temple mine, Nicholas Gunther, $555 Fl. It must be remembered that this result is after paying all expenses, in cluding sending this argentiferOus ga lena ore 2,500 miles, to San Francisco,
 for reduction The working of these mines thus far has been only an eX- pertinent, but a very successful one, we should say, as neither of the pro IprietOrs have attempted to put on any thing like working force yet.
 Smelling works are being erected in Yuma, for the purpose of reducing gold, silver and lead ores. They will soon be ready for business. Geo. D. Nagle, superintendent, and Henry w. IKearsing, assayer.
 The deputy clerk co. F Townsend), lof the board of supervisors and another correspondent are after John w. Dor ington, clerk of the district court. The supervisors at the July session disal- lowed one of his bills because of pre- vious payment; and because of com plaints made to the board, of the man. Iagement of the district clerks office, a committee consisting ot A. J. Finlay,
 H. N. Alexander and F. NJ. Phillips, was appointed to Investigate the same and report in writing August 16, 1875.
 Dorrington's bondsmen had withdrawn from his bonds.
 According to recommendation of the district attorney, taxes to amount of $86955 were stricken off the taX-rOll las uncollectable. The board of super visors at its July meeting, allowed bills against the county amounting to $2- .O81.31 as sho& by tie published re- port

Extent of Placer Claims.

Now that placer mining is an impor- tant element of business in this com Imunity, the extent or area of ground allowed tO a claimant by the United States law is of interest. Sec. 10 of the
 Act of May 10, 1872, says "no such " location shall exceed twenty acres
 flor each individual claimant" This leaves it clearly within the power of the miners to provide that claims shall
 be less than twenty acres, for it is iden |tical in meaning with that provision in Sec. ? which says no vein or lode
 claim shall extend more than 300 feet
 on each side of the middle of the vein at the surface," and goes on to say that no such claim shall be limited by any mining regulation, !" to Jess than 9 feet on each side of the middle of the
 vein at the surface" Local laws Oi
 miners may say that quartz locations shall not exceed in width fifty feet, but cannot say they shall be less than 1900 in length; in like manner, they may provide that placer claims shall
 be less than twenty acres, for the U.
 s. law simply declares that "no such location shall include more than twen- ty acres for each individual claimant" Prior to this act of May 10, 1872, one person or association of persons might have located not to exceed 160 acres of placer mining ground.

\ REPORT came here early in the week that some thirty to fifty Indians were in Arivaipa canyon; that when seen they seemed surprised but offered no hostile signs 10 the Texas emigrants who passed among them. They were thought to be out Of place and possibly dangerous, but we learn that they are San Carlos Apa ches on leave between ration days mak- ing meScal. Also that the Agency looks out for them while there; that an old squaw was attacked and badly injured by a bear, and was sent for and carried to the Agency for treatment.
 We also are informed that early in the week seven Apaches were seen near Da- wilson's Springs on Crittenden road. They had a mule and hore; offered no hostili- ty; said they were going to Sonora, etc.
 It is very gratifying to know that the Apaches treat OUT people peaceably when they meet each other anywhere.

LIEUT.. s. O'CoNNOR of the Twen- ty-third Infantry, we'll and favora- | ply known to nearly every body in this part of Arizona, Is stationed at Fort Fred Steele iii Wyoming. In a letter to us of July 10, he says he in- tends to return to Arizona the coming Winter with at least 1000 sheep. This is very fine compliment to Arizona, for in the course of his ser vico in the Army, Lieuc. 0'Conner has been stationed in nearly all the Ter ritories and Western States, and evil dently chooses Arizona for stock-grow- ing from his personal observation. We trust he will have success, and do not doubt but he will
 Lieut.. O'Connor's post is nearest to the Black Hills wherein gold is said to have been discovered, and he says that they are in much doubt there about gold having been found in any considerable quantities in the Hills, and thinks people of Arizona ought to stand by what they have rather than take chances up that way. We say there is abundance of placer gold ID our Santa Rita mountains, and the assertion is backed up by men wash ing out several ounces per day; the same kind of proof would be clear in Wyoming, if the Black Hills contain ed diggings worth going to.

MIR. c. O. BROWN, one of Arizonas most indefatigabie prospectors and min- CTS, returned from the Pinal mines by stage OfThursday. Our Florence dispatch es tell what he has been doing up that way. AS evidences of his operations, he brought with him eighty pounds of silver nuggets which may be seen on Congress Hall counter. The largest piece weighs thirty four pounds, and contains much silver as bright as coined dollar, and the whole nugget is worth SIP per pound. Mir. Brown gave us much information about the mines which we cannot put in type this week, but will next in proper shape. He is satisfied with his prospects for what money he wants. From what he tells us he can hardly fail to take out sil- yer by the wagon load-if not from one mine from another, for he has a large in- terest in several. The very brightest fu- ture seems demonstrated for Pinal county and the mines now there.

FROM The New Mexican of July 13 :
 Proposals were opened at the office of the chief quartermaster to-day for furnishing telegraph poles along the proposed line from Santa Fe via AL buquerque, Socorro, Fort Craig and Fort McRae to Fort Bayard.
 Old Baldy and Twin Peaks were covered with snow on Independence day; and looked down upon Santa Fe, while assembled around the altar of liberty, as if specially arrayed in commemoration of the day we cele- brate.
 The grading of the Atohison, To- peka and Santa Fe road will be com pleted to west Las Animas this week, and it is expected that the iron will be laid by the 1st of August.
 The rain of Sunday and Monday was worth thousands of dollars to the ranchmen of the Santa Fe valley. The wheat and corn were beginning to suffer materially for want of water, but have since revived.
 We publish to-day letter from Judge Mariana s. Otero, in which he very distinctly declines the nomina- tion for the office of delegate in Con- gross rendered him by the Democracy.
 The mail south from Santa Fe, July 10, was lost and also the mail driver Henry Ferry. All were washed away in an arroya twenty-five miles south of Santa Fe, where water sell dom runs. There were three bags of mail, all of which were recovered but in 8 completely ruined condition. The body of the driver was not found.
