THE MCCRACkIN MINE.-Dr. George D. Kendall. who was called to attend two men who had the misfortune to be blown up and badly injnred by blast in the McCrackin mine, returned on Saturday. He found the men very seriously injured, but not necessa- nly beyond recovery.
 From him We learn the following facts with reference to that great mine which the su- perintendant, Mir. McNevin, had the kind ness to show him in all the details of its de- velopment. The tunnels, shafts and levels, reaching depth of 3S0 feet. reveal sn aston isbing amount of high grade ore, running from $50 to $500 to the ton. The Doctor went through all the ramifications of the mine, so far as it is opened, measured the vein-matter at various points, which he found at the depth of 3S0 feet to be 2S feet wide, examined the walls which are clearly defined, and pronounces it unmistak- ably true Assure vein of far greater extent and value than any lode he has ever seen ex- cept the Comstock. He brought with him specimens of the various grades of ore found in the mine, all of which bear evidence of being sll that the Doctor has described them to be. The ore is not so rich as the Peck. Prince and some others, but there is such world of it that it is particularly attractive to those who know what permanent mines are. The Doctor was unable to estimate the amount of ore at the various dumps, but is of the opinion that there is enough already out to clear the mine of all the expense of its development The Greenwood mill hay ing been put in order is about to start, and their milling ore is being sent there, while the higher grade is sent the other way to be snslted.

BIDs REJEcrED.-A telegram from Hon. J. NJ. Redondo, chairman of the Board oi Prison Commissioners, dated Yuma, Nov. 30, says:
 "The highest bid for the prison bonds was cighty-four and fifteen-sixteenths on the dollar, which was rejected by the board
 If we remember correctly, the board had better offers than this from abroad before ad- vertising the bonds for sale, and only did so in order to give our own people the first chance at them. They will probably now be sold in foreign market.

SINCE the Rev. McLafferty, of Oakland, Cal, preached tie educational sermon about which so much noise has been made by hide bound advocates of religious shools, he has baptized nearly double the number of con- verts that any other minister of his church in the State has been able to gather into the fold. The tendencies of the age arc to trust those who have the will and courage to do right in defiance of custom, though said GUS tom be gray and wrinkled with antiquity. Modern right is better than ancient wrong.

FROM SANTA MARIA.-Abe Prather and several others have returned from the new dry diggings on the Santa Maria, and are not pleased with the prospects. We interviewed Abe, and he said there was gold there and if water could be had good wages could be made for a few days, but the diggings are very limited and no water, even to drink, short of two or three miles, and that over a mountain, and very limited in quantity. Practically, he pronounces it nothing at all, although the discoverers did first rate for a short time drying the dirt and blowing it out. He thinks they had the cream of it before they let the discovery be known.

Two or three weeks ago we had an item with reference to the killing of a woman by her husband at Mineral Park on the 9th of Nov. but were unable to give names. The Poche Record of the lith has letter from St. Thomas giving names and details. The man was M. DeKay. The family formerly hved at Pioche, and consisted of MT. and Mrs DeKay ana seven children. From Pi- oche they removed to Pahranagat where domestic relations were so unpleasant, that the woman took her children and came to Arizona, in search of employment. He followed her and had got consent to return 10 Pahranagat under a promise that he would cease drinking and go to work. After getting her consent to go back with him he waited until she was asleep with her babe in her arms when he stole into the room put a pistol to her temple and sent ball crashing through hey brain. He then shot himself, but it is believed by the people of the park, as we hear from private sources, that he pulled up the skin on his breast and by dextrous handling of the pistol fired through a.fold of the skin to give it the appearance of two shots to create sympathy.

Your committee appointed to examine into the delinquencies of the exCounty off cials and the present incumbents beg leave to report as follows:
 We find upon the examination of the books of the County Treasurer and the re- port of an expert appointed by the Board of Supervisors, that the County Treasurer, ex Dist. Attorney, and two cx-Sherif!S stand delinquent, but from all the information we arc enabled 10 obtain, we are of the opinion that it would be unwise at the present Ses- sion to indict said parties for their reported dedication, as sufficient evidence cannot be obtained at present to make a conviction certain. And under such state of affairs we recommend that the District Attorney, Asst Dist. Attorney and Board of Supervi- sors proceed without delay 10 settle their respective accounts, and lift is then found that said parties are criminally liable to the County, that legal steps be then taken by the next Grand Jury
 In coming to this conclusion, We do here by censure, in terms that language is incapa- ble of expressing, every Supervisor that has held office since January 1st, 1873, up to and including the present members consti- tuting the present Board. We find that they have not, in single instance, complied with the law requiring county offirials to settle quarterly. If they were compelled to do their duty, it is the opinion of this con- mttee that our county affairs would be kept in healthy condition and Grand Ju- ries would find it an easy and gratifying task to make an examination of County af- fairs
 We find that since a report was made by an expert employed by the Board, at an ex- pense of $500, that the same conglomerate state of affairs has been going on as before, and we directly charge the Supervisors with the crime of gross negligence.

report of the Mohave county grand jury published elsewhere, will be found to be sharp reading. They talk rather plainly as to the management of county affairs in the past, and stir up the supervisors with avery keen pointed instrument. It seems they discovered no irregularities in the conduct of the present incumbents other than negli  reAce on the part of the board.

Washington, Nov. 29.-'Tis said upon ap- pareptEy good authority that President Grant has determined to move E. F. Dunne, i Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Ari- zona on account of the position he has as sumed in public speeches on the school funds ] question.
 He is an ardent Catholic and has indicated his desire that his coreligionists should have a portion of the common school fund set apart for their special use, which places him in op- position to the Presidents Iowa speech on the school question.
 TERRITORIAL- Tucson, Nov. 27.-News of the recent | fight at Altar between the Governm ent and Revolutionary forces is confirmed. The Rev olutionists lost II killed and some wounded, also some hundreds of horses and other property. The Government forces claim 10 have killed three officers and twenty four men. The Reyolutionists fled like sheep, leaving their dead and wounded. It is now admitted that their Headquarters were at Tucson and h re they raised much of their fighting material.
 The Citizen to-day pronounces their con- duct disgraceful.
 General Serna the leader, has not been in Sonora for months and the Citizen insists he should rather establish his Headquarters in that State, or cease to make war upon it.
 Speaking of the acquisition canard the Citizen says before measure of the kind is adopted, we ought to extend our northern frontier to and including the north pole.
