The New Placer Mines.

George Blair and Wm. w.
 Brown returned from the new placer mines in the Santa Maria country, last Tuesday. They both speak favorably of the mines, as to richness and extent. These mines are situated about Z50 miles northeast of here, and about 80 miles this side of Prescott. They are dry diggings, there being no water nearer than a mile and a half. The gold is coarse and of excellentquality. Geo. Blair show ed us a nice little bunch of it. pro- bably about two ounces, which he said he took out himself in two days. The lack of water is the great draw back, the gold being only obtained by the Mexican pro- cess Of "dry WaShlng," Tn Whlcn Americans, are not generally very expert. The water spoken of is not a running stream, but only spring, of limited capacity. The diggings cannot be very enticing, for MT. Brown tells us that he will not go back to them. "'Tis dis tance lends entertainment to the view" We have plenty of mines, both of gold and silver, much nearer home, which only require working, to make them pay abun- dantly.

Translation from the "Estrella del Occi- dente," Ures, Sonora
 This agreeable gentleman, who
 has been acting in the capacity of Special Commissioners of the U. $. Government to enquire into the truth of the alleged depreda-
 tiOns of U. $. Reservation Apa- ches, in this State and that of Chihuahua, returned yesterday to this city, having been delayed about day at "Las Delicias" and Arizpe." His object was to visit Generals Pesqueira and Gar cia Morales, at their respective places of residence. We are glad to state to our readers that Col.
 Williams is well satisfied at the cordial manner in which he was received by those gentlemen and with the information laid before him as commissioner.
 We are we'll satisfied to believe that the high character and in- tegrity of Col. Williams will per init him to confidently accept the truth of the information that has been imparted to him, and we fiatter ourselves with the hope that the United States Govern ment. looking at the consistency land exactness of the information furnished, will dictate such a course to be pursued, with regard to Reservation Indians, as will cause their depredations to cease both in this and our neighbOr State. We understand that Col.
 Williams will proceed to Wash ington sometime this month, and we trust that all his efforts may meet the success to which they are so much entitled.
 The foregoing translation of an article appearing in the EStreNo del Occideate, published at Ures, the capital of Sonora, November 26th, speaks in a very hopeful manner of Col. Williams our ac. credited Agent, We publish It with much pleasure, not only as a stray bit of information to our readers, but to mark our respect for a government official, who ap- pears to have been intrusted with a delicate mission and who re- ceives the favorable encOmium of a brother editor in our Sister Re- public of Mexico.

Agent Cum on a "Miner" Cores
 pondent.

Following a copy of a letter ad- dressed to the editor of the Arizo- no Miler:
 SAN CARLOS, ARIZONA, Decem- Der 7, 1875. SIR: The Miner of November 19, containing letter signed Vindex," is at hand. l propose to offer a few gratituOus remarks, and a little information at the same price.
 l wish to say first that the writ CT of that letter is a base and false coward. No one would write such a bitter and invective letter and make such mad thrusts at my of ficial actions and my personal character, and then sign a ficti- ti0us name, unless he feared jus tice. No one but a vile, false and unworthy person could combine so much falsehOod with so little truth, to make my actions appear heinOus and even hellish. You claim that your purpose is to build up and not to tear down 1; that you desire only to know and make known the truth: and yet you publish this abominable tirade against me and state that you do not pretend to know the facts yourself. While I have it in my heart to censure you quite as SC. verely as the writer af the letter, will only say that 1 am truly grateful to you for your kind and hearty efforts to build me up, and also that you have been able to scatter such profound truths broad cast over the country.
 I close with the request that you will furnish me with the name of the writer.
 Very respectfully,
 1 JOHN. P. CLUM.

Angeles Herald.

murder.-Los Angeles Her0ld.
 The Los Angeles Her0Ld is eith- CT very slow, or very fast and in- considerate, in the above remarks. Whatever doubts may have been felt by some, at first, in regard to the man killed being the real ban- dit, Chavez, those doubts seem to have been entirely dispelled by the result of the long legal inves- tigation, and by the universal ad- mission of Mexicans here, who viewed the body. that it was no other than the real Chavez. There. fore we think it uncalled for, for the Herold to indulge in such un- generous language toward men who have rid the world of d most terrible scOurge. Californians, particularly, should be glad that the noted rObber will no more in fest their country.

WE learn from the Citizen of last Saturday that on Thursday night of that week, the citizens of Tue son serenaded ex-Governor and ex Delegate Mccormick, with music: etc., at which time, Col. Estevan Ochoa, Mayor of the city, made neat speech of welcome.
 And so it is all through. The welcome that Governor McCor- mick has received at every point must be very grateful to his feel ings. How true are those words of Bryant, the poet:
 Truth crushed to earth will rise again ''
 We had occasion to repeat them years ago at Prescott, when called upon by the citizens to pronounce an address of welcome to this same honOred gentleman, at a time when there was considera . ble feeling. And thank God we have lived to see that axiom again verified. It always was and it al- ways will be so. Truth only, lives. Truth is eternal. Error, for time may prevail, but it has it's day and passes away, while truth, founded upon the rock of ages, can never pass away.

"The Robbers in Real Life.

A modern Francs de Moor, sordid and
commonplace, but equally cruel, has ap.
peared in Philadelphia. He is a second.
hand clothes-dcaler, whose father is
seyenty-tve years of age. The old man
had about 5000, which the son succeeded
in getting hold of, and soon the father
disappeared The police got wind of the
affair, and made a search about the prem
ises for the missing man. The son was
asked what he had in his cellar, and he
Immediately replied that he was keeping
his dogs there, but denied that his aged
father was imprisoned in the wretched
hole, This denial, however, did not sat
isty the officers, and they concluded to
explore the cellar for themselves. The
door was unlocked and the two officers Of
the law went down into the zimmerman
darkness They had provided themselves
with candle, fortunately, and struck a
light. The white-haired old man was
discovered lying upon rotten straw
mattress IN one corner of the black hole,
in terrible plight. The atmosphere OF
the damp abode was staggering and poi

nook or corner, Around him was a paoS

not word of apology to utter in eX-
trnuatlOn Of the cruel usage Of his father,
but The latter complained bitterly. The
son was ordered to take his parent out OF
The hog.pit, which he did. Not satisfied
With the persecution he had already in
tlcted the son took the old man over
across the street To an empty house which
ne had rented and locked him up in it.
There was no bed in it for him to sleep
upon, no chair upon which to sit, no

--Cadogan Morgan, in 1885, was the

n, inserted two wires in wood and caused
the spark to pass between them The
wood was Illuminated with blood-red or
with yellow light, according as the depth

admitted and its introduction governed

acts by means OF expansion in the cylin-
