Gov. McCoRNIcK desires the Yuma Senti Tel to say that at the request of the U. S Commissioner of mines and mining he has promised to furnish an account of the pres ent condition of mining interests in Arizona for the commissioners next annual report to Congress, and that he, Gov. Mccormick, will be glad to have facts and figures from the several mining districts forwarded to him at Tucson. As the coming report of the com missioner is likely to be the last that Con- gross will authorize and print, it is impor- tant that Arizona shall be fairly represented and fully written up for this report Our mine owners may find it greatly to their in terest to have an official recognition of their mineral property and its value
 To this end let every one interested in mines make it his especial business to see that reliable facts are sent from his own par ticulsr district.

AGENT CLUM.-John P Cum, Indian Agent at San Carlos, has written us sharp letter, dated Dec. 7th, in which he takes us to task for publishing letter from Apache, on the 18th of Nov, signed "Vindex" Hav- ing recently been the subject of complement tary remark from the press of that end of the Territory, and being naturally of a modest and retiring disposition, we withhold from the reader all the nice things he says of us, and give him the benefit of the following spirited general denial of each and every al- legation in "Vindex's" complaint He says:
 ''The MINER of Nov. 18th containing let ter of "Vindex" is at hand. I propose to offer few gratuitous remarks and little information at the same price I wish to say first, that the writer of that letter is a base and false coward. No one would write such bitter and invective letter and make such mad thrusts at my official actions, and my personal character, and then sign ficti- tious name unless be feared justice. No one but vile false and unworthy person could combine SO much falsehood, with so little truth, to make my actions appear henious and even hellish."

THE OVERLAND FOR DEcEMBER.-This ad- mirable Pacific Coast Magazneis before us filled ss usual with good things. We have taken special interest in an article written by J. K. Scupham on the "Canon of Pit River" Being acquainted with the writer, who is civil engineer in the service of the Central Pacific R. R. and having been over much of the country described by him and met most of the people he talks about it is quite treat to follow him as we set here in an easy chair, over rugged cliffs where years ago We clambered and toiled on foot from erag to crag.
 He is little mistaken in the purpose for which the pits were dug from which Pit River derives its name. Deer and not grass hoppers was the game trapped in those pits. We have seen the pits and come near falling into them in the early days of that country. Iheprts were dug large at the bottom and narrow at the top, located in deer trails and covered with jules and leaves so that deer or q horseman unsuspecting their presence was liable to fall into them.
 The Overland pays deserved tribute to the late E. P. Avery, Minister to China. It was our good fortune to enjoy the friendship "f Ben Avery for many years, dating back to lSo6 and only once ia all that time did we ever find fault or think i'll of anything he did. During the Copper City excitement We became interested in tue mines and when the Williams and Killinger had saved up, speci- | mens enough to make run that produced quite large silver bar, we borrowed it from Sather's bank and took it to the Bulletin of- | lice to show our friend Avery what was be- | ing done on the next claim to ours, and de- | sired him to notice it favorably. He said no, that he feared We were over san- guine and ttat it was another of those cases m which men had deceived themselves so of. ten. and that be would not commit tue Rul- letin by blowing about it until they made another run and proved its value. We went away dspleased with his decision and in a week the mine was declared failure and shut down. He was always right, or meant to bs.

He expresses conf dence in the future of both these cities and has personal interest in each, but his means would not warrant the extensive purchases reported however much he might banker af ter their land, or words to that effect.

He says the want of water is the only backset, and he proposes to remedy that as far as possible by having two dry-washing machines built here and taken to the diggings. One of these machines is for himself and the other for Valentine Bros. who own the patent.

 It is reported that Serna's men have cap tured and now hold Pesquerea prisoner. In view of this late report Gov. Satford has to-day telegraphed General Kautz, ask ing him 10 send such force as he may deem necessary so near the line between Arizona and Sonora as to drive armed bodies ofMexi- cans in Arizona back into Sonora and to pre- vent the armed forces of either party from crossing the line in future.
 The adherents of Serna pretend to dis credit the late news and insist that the war will continue even if done in the mountains and rocks like the Indians.
 The Revoutionists have thousand fold more sympathy than the State forces. Yet so far no foothold has been gained by them on Sonora soil worth naming

tucson, Dec. lI.-N0 news was received for several days from the revolution in Sonora
 Mexicans arriving here almost every day be- cause they cannot stay there and save their property.
 Three tons of ore worked in the Ostrich mill from newly discovered mines yielded S2OO to the ton.
 On receipt of the news of the appoint ment of Judge French of California to be Chief Justice of Arizona, one hundred guns were fired on the Church plaza The citizens of Tucson serenaded Ex-Gov and Delegate Mccormick last evening, a large number being present and the streets were lit up by bonfires.
 Mayor Ochoa introduced the Governor and in doing so thanked hin for his services to the Territory The Governor responded in suitable speech. He emphatically de- med the report that be is seeking to be. or that he will be a candidate for delegate next year. The proceedings were marked by much good feeling and Mayor Ochoa provi- ded quite a banquet to close up with.
 Tucson, Dec 20.-Dr. w. L. Bronson and Major T. J. Bakeny, well known in San Francisco and Virginia City have just ar rived here overland from Guaymas through Sonora. They corroborate the report that they are in destitute condition. The troubles have prevented ploughing, etc. They say the people generally are favorable towards the Revolutionists.
 These gentlemen say three hundred we'll armed and managed troops could success fully march through tie State despite the State forces. The federal authorities are en- t're!y neutral Tn the contest. The Prefect at Guaymas told them that in case of a bat tie between the revolutionits and the forces the federal troops there would take no part in it.
 They were not molested on the way but were warned at Guaymas and interior towns to be on the lookout. They think they never would have got through but for their vigilance and constant display of repeating rifles aud pistols. The stage lies over nights and they slept one at time while the other Kept watch. They say the route from Guay- mas to Tucson IS the best one for railroad they ever saw except the Sacramento Val Icy. Like most Americans they think Un- cle sam ought to own Guaymas but have no hope for its prosperity under Mexican rule.
