The Mcclure House HoP.- The
large hall of tho Mcclure House was
filed with Wheeling's beauty and gayety
last night, and Kramer's band discoursed
sweet music, to which white kid slippers
and polished boots kept time until late

The gayety was mild, but sincere, and
the beauty the loyeliest that Wheeling

MINING ITEMS.

II. G. Ballou, the Yavapai Alvin Adams, brought us the following batch of items from Upper Lynx Creek this week: Lake t Waterman have their waterwhe and arrsstra in successful operation.
 kline's horse arrastra is grinding ore from the Boston lode.
 Poland X Miller have one arrastra running by water and one by horse power on rock from their ledge. which is three feet thick, all pay ore.
 C. '. Shelton is still grinding away on the Vernon.
 Rice X Elliott have one arrastra running on the Accidental with such iattering results { that they are encouraged to erect another. Jake Hinkle < Go. are putting up wheel below the canon to work ore from newly discovered lead that prospects we'll
 PLACER CLAIMS
 McFadden has opened the old McCracken placer claim ard has found fine body of gravel that prospects from five to ten cents. The gravel in this claim is three feet deep and the stripping from three to eight feet.
 John Wells has opened an old claim below the Thunderbolt mill, in which the pay streak was lost some years ago. He has struck it again and is making it yield about SS to the hand
 Mir. Moore, on Johnson's Bar, has been ground sluicing this winter and cleaned up | about $500 few days ago.
 The balance of the miners on the creek | have plenty of water now and are doing we'll, though we have no particulars. Prospecting for ledges still goes on lively and some prom ising discoveries have already been made.
 J. K. Deroche has been busy during last week and this putting up an arrsstra to work ore from the Canadian lode. He has 50 or GO tons on the dump which he tells us will go $50 at the least calculation and perhaps twice that. If his experiment with the ar rastra proves successful with few tons he will take the balance to Noyes' mill and have it crushed there.
 Ore sent from this mine to San Francisco Tor reduction yielded large per cent of silver md as they have no way of saving it he pro- poses to concentrate the taiings either for nture use or shipment

LIEUT.. BoURKE PLAYS HIMSELF FOR AN ARIZONA GREENHoRN.-It seems that Gen Crook and Staff instead of gong direc, to Bakersfield, as they intended when they left here, changed their minds and took in Los Angeles, where, according to the Express. Bourke, as is his wont when he gets s.soft thmg," imposed upon the Los Angeles greenres some of his practical jokes, such as he used to play upon the immigrants.
 He affected to be astonished at the window curtains in bis room, made quite an ado over the fact of being shaved without having half hIs face skinned and otherwise pulled the wool over the eyes of his credulous auditors in a. way that no one but himself can ap- proach.
 The fact Is his own room at headauarters 'n Arizona was probably as elegantly furn- ished as anything he saw in Los Angeles and as for tonsorial accommodations one wouId have to travel long ways in California or elsewhere to find better than he was accus- toned to in Prescott.
 But that is his way, he always measures his subjects and gives them all the wind he thinks they will absorb.

CERBAT lTEMs.-Our correspondent "Crow- foot under date of April lith, writes: We have mine that discounts the McCracken for average pay rock. The Cerbat mine is creating considerable excitement, and is said to be the best in Wallapai district is only half mile from Cerbat; is fl feet wide and prospects big all the way across. The own CTS, Wiliscraft & Barry. are down % feet and find , feet of the ledge at that depth to average S364ls in gold per ten and SS3. 2i in silver. Several assays have been made of the rock and most of them have gone over $500 in gold.
 It IS reported here that Steve Schmidt has found quicksilver mine in Empire Wash, near Chloride.
 All mining operations are progressing finely.

OuR dispatches tell us that San Francisco did honor to Arizona in honoring her friend on his arrival in that city She put on her Sunday clothes and did the handsome thinr. for once at least, to one who deserved any compliment they could bestow. Moreover we take it as evidence that this country is not altogether unknown in that more en. frightened portion of creation, however heed less they may appear as to the matter of se curing our trade, etc. We trust it is not simply the buttons on Gen. Crooks coat. or the title he so worthily bears that has so elevated him in their eyes but that they really appreciate the great service he has rendered struggling and long suffering people

RUINS AGAIN.

Some one who appears to be posted. but
 who has failed to comply with our rule which
 makes it imperative upon correspondents to
 furnish us tbeir names, has written us with
 reference to ancient ruins. We shall not yio-
 late the rule by publishing the letter but
 simply give sort of synopsis of his theory.
 If the Montezuma Indians, says he, had
 sheep when discovered by the Spaniards then
 it is plain case that Salt, Gila and Grand
 rivers as well as smaller streams were used
 for farming, and the hills and mountains for grazing The look-outs Mir. Sanford speaks of as temples of worship, think were camp grounds, or, perhaps, temporary forts to pro- teetihe Indians while out herding sheep. There IS mound near the Black Hills with three-feet wall enclosure and five or six smaller ones or sheep corrals in a circle around the larger one. There are great plains on the lower Agua Fra where there are large ruins, and the plains have once been covered with lava rock which has all been picked up and thrown on the larger rocks, apparently to make it better for stock.
 At the place known as Point of Rocks there are two points on the side next to Granite creek; the West point has three rock walls, one six feet high in the only pass ! way to the top. On top there is flat place | sixty feet across. The East peak has slope reaching two-thirds around it before reach ! ing the top, and at every short turn there is wall Of rock. Here he thinks part of the ancient tribe struggled their last and per. ished.
 The Zunas, he says, yet have large houses on high places, of no earthly use except in case of attack from an enemy. These have A tradition that they once lived above Fish Springs, and that the Great Spirit shook the Earth so that the water sank at that place and raised at Fish Springs. They told the frst missionaries about it and the pricsts hxed punches of feathers on tue ends of sticks which they cOnsecrated and stuck nea, the spring with the assurance that as long as , they kept them there the Great Spirit would { nosget angry and shake the Earth CT dry | up the water.l f Our correspondent closes with the theory s that the Pimas, Papagas, Moquis. Zunas and t village Indians of New Mexico arc a part of r The Montezumas that have become weakened V and scattered and driven to their present V villages. They are, he says, as fair specimens u 'f what We suppose those old Indians to have n been as we of Arizona are of the civilization V of the present day. S

LEADING THEMES IN SCIENCE.

The Opening address at the annual meeting
of the British Association for the Advance
ment of Science always attracts attention.
Sometimes it has served as milestone, set ut
the utmost limits of scientific progress, and
marking the advance of human thought. or
this kind was Prof Tyndal's address last year,
the chief question about it being whether it was
not set beyond the boundaries OF true science,
and too much within the realm of speculation
No such objection will he brought against the
address of this year, by Sir John liawkshaw,
of which description will be found in our
London correspondents letter. The conserva-
five members of the British Association-al-
ways q large proportion of that bOdy-had
been sorely exercised by the utterances of
Profs. Tyndall and Huxley. The election of Sir
John Hdwkshaw to the Presidency of the AssO-
citation was understood to Indicate u desire
for safer themes. In that respect the address
will not disappOnt expectation: in all else 1t
may The major portion of it was devoted to
q review of the engineering works of an
tionity: the rest told little that the world
does not generally know about the great I'M
dertakings of the present. Nobody will dis
pute the eminence of Sir John llawkshaw as
an engineer but this address will not be
classcd with his greatest and most successful
labOrs.
A comparison between the prominent features
Of the American and the British Associations
for the last year or two will not be without
interest. The papers read at the American
meetings for several years, with few eXcep-
tons. had recorded the advances made by
workers in special fields of science. Rarely did
n speaker of broader views and wider scope
than the Others attempt to weld together in
harmonious whole these valuable fragments.
The British Association, on the other hand,
was winning popular laurels by just this class
of addresses, us well as by the tendency of its
more striking debates. A change in the
constitution of the American body, effected at
its Hartford meeting, assimilating it some
what to the English pattern, provided it at
Detroit with addresses from the two Vice
Presidents in addition to that of the retiring
President. The result was that this year the
American Association came into the arena at
the very door where its British prototype had
just stepped out.
The addresses of Profs. lie COnte and Daw
son at Detroit both grappled with the great
question Of the day i'll science-the question Of
the origin of life upon the globe. In this
especially, if anywhere, is the alleged conflict
of science with religion. Prof. lie COnte
deprecated the conflict, urged moderation in
scientific beliefs, and brought to bear on his
argument large amount Of flesh kn0wl-
edge drawn from his own pccu'id. -..o..i.a 81.
