vAIMAsRDA AT THE SEAT OF GOVERNMENT.
General Valmaseda returned from Las Cruces yes
terdaY afternoon looking as corpulent as ever not
Wlthstanding the fatigues OF his great campaign.
He came on the Regla tram. and, judging from the
number OF his stan officers we are led 10 believe
he must have lett quite an army behind him. Tne
city Is rife with rumors in reference TO the mo-
mentous questions that have forced him 20 leave
the snug camp tent at Las cruces TO
face the ofnce-seekers and palace parasites
oil the great city OF Havana. We have heard, how
ever, that the eXchequer Is exhausted. Custom
House dues are wrongfully forced into other than
the right channel, eat complaints IRON the
mother country at the long time expended In
closing the three months pToffered campaign
and other grave matters bearing somewhat ON
Concna's accusation OF an undiscpned
and dsobedlent army have forced HIS
EXcelency 10 take this sudden and I'M
expected journey. Like most corpulenJ
generals he seems sadly afraid OF "nre in his
rear" and has there ore, returned TO set things
aflgnt and tnen make another start. Probably
the decided negative OF the patriots 10 accept his
amnesty may have great deal TO do with this
step, more so than the gold specula ors whom ne
has summary disposed OF by a forced Danish
ment TO Bayamo and other threatened places.
THE SPANISH BANK LOANS.
IL Is reported that the Spanish Bank has refused
20 loan the government another 81. 000, 900, gold,
giving as their reason the payment OF the pre-
vlous loans, and especially the last loan OF
81 200, OO0 gold. only 100000 OF which has been
returned to the bank.

Local Mining Anairs.

J All reports of this week, are very favorable. Owing to lack of water d
 the Santa Rita mines, comparatively little placer gold is coming into town but the miners are ready and will take out lots of the precious stuff when the
 rains come.
 Elsewhere we notice the shipment ;! for San Francisco market of two lots
 ofore aggregating nearly 10000 pounds There will soon be 24,0O0 pounds
 more here from the Old Mine for snip
 ment. and a lot more from the Pinal
 mines via San Carlos. The ore from
 both places is regarded worth about
 5000 per ton. Early Thursday morn ing. Governor Stafford and C. o. Brown left for the mines, near the western line of the San Carlos reservation, and ex- pect to be absent about two weeks. Mir. Hope. connected with the Govern or and others out there, recently took one ton of the ore to Florence, and had sixty-two pounds worked by Jen- nings & Co. resulting in product of one hundred and two and half ounces of silver
 Dr. J. c. Handy has sold his interest in the Trench mine 10 John H. Archi- bald. Thos. Gardner informs us that the workmen have got two hundred feet of the old work opened in the Trench, and the ore shows first-rate. Adobes are being made for furnaces, and smelling will soon be commenced in earnest.
 Eraly in the week, D. A. Bennett and MT Ritter the latter lawyer and surveyor recently from Stockton, Cali fornia,) left for the Patagonia, where as we said last week, machinery for work on an extended scale, will soon be constructed.
 Dr. Handy informs Us that D. C.. Thompson has recently taken some thirty to forty tons of paying gold ore 10 the Ostrich mill, but that only few tons are yet worked because of want of water, which want will soon be SUD- piled, even without more rain. It will be some two weeks yet before the company will begin to work ore from the Old Mine. The process will be- crushing dry in the stamp mill, follow ed by the treatment fully described in THE CITIZEN of October 23, and called lixiviation. Mir. Hughes, assay CT, says the process is cheap and ap- plicable, and this after he has proven it by experiments with the ore in hand.

The Recent Earthquake.

The center of the earthquake disturb ance, last Monday, appears to have been in Arizona; and the waves were from east to west, diminishing in force as they came along. While the oscil. lations were not at all severe, they were otherwise in the neighboring Territory. along the stage route. Al Gardner's l59 miles from San Diego, part of the station building was thrown down. Al New River, 13S miles from San Diego. part of the station building WAS thrown down. At Indian Wells 122 miles from San Diego. the adobe stable and the adobe corral were both thrown down, The first shock was al ? 30 p. M on Monday, and this was the heaviest But there were other shocks nearly every hour, until after nine o'clock the next morning when the letter was writ ten from which we gather the above particulars.-San Diego Union.

 Der is at hand. The old phrases that this number is fully up to or the supe.
 rior of preceding ones, may be appli. cable; but its editor displays an ability
 to write freely and even nicely on al least one subject of which he is evident ly without much accurate knowledge
 The assurance with which Our Indian
 Policy" is written up, is remarkable
 exhibition of apparently innocent ig- norance The editor really knows
 nothing of our Indian policy by ex-
 perience, for we take it his honesty on
 the subject is just equal to his ignor- ance. He evidently has been reading
 reform newspapers which are pub lie frauds, and writes up "Our Indian Policy" ill accordance with their teach ings. "F. McGloin is permitted to give his views of Rotation in Office, ' which read well but which experience proves are fsllacious He is evidently professional reformer who was ex- pelled from some office by the people or his superiOrs because of unfitness, incompetency and perhaps dishonesty, and therefore his objections to rotation in office. The majority of the contrib uted articles are interesting and some. of them quite instructive for instance, the one of T. J.
