ASCENT OF HMoUNr RnNIER.-General Kautz has a twelve page article in the Over land for May detailing personal experience in ascending Mount Rainier in Washington Territory in 1857.
 The Gen. was at that time first licuten- ant stationed at Fort Stelacoom on Puget Sound. =
 Being young, fond of adventure, and as he says, having passion for going to the tops of high places,- mo allusion at that time per haps to the high place he now occupies in the army-he determined to visit the sum- init of Mount Rainier, one of the tallest and most inaccessible peaks in the Cascade range, and with the Post Surgeon, two soldiers and an Indian accomplished the trip up and back in twelve days. We have not time in this notice to give even an outline of the hard ships, narrow escapes, etc, of that twelve days journey through the Sounding forest aisles, 5" deep tangled wild woods, ," rocky steeps and monster glaciers through and over which they clambered and crawled day after day.
 Many of the scenes are graphically descri- bed and General Kautz has shown that though handy with his sword, he also under stands the use of that mightier instrument, the pen.

The following letter from ex-Delegate Nc. Cormick to the P NJ. here explains the mail . route situation.
 WASHINGTON D. C., April 10th. 1875. DEAR SIR-You will have learned through my telegrams the result of my recent efforts for better Mail service in yoar part of the | Territory.
 | After very urgent and oft repeated appeals, the ?. O. Department has ordered the fol- lowing changes, viz;
 l. The service from Prescott to Santa Fe to be increased, from May lst. ensuing, to | twice week.
 | 2. The service to St. George, or Pioche, to start from Cerbat instead of from Hardy vile.
 3. The service from San Bernardino to Prescott, to be transferred May 10th, from 1 the Ehrenberg to the Mohave route, and | thereafter to be run that way, forming a through service semi-weekly) from San Der | nardino to Santa Fe.
 4. Service to be put on from Wickenburg to Prescott tsemi-weeklyt to take the place of that transferred to the Mohave road. and preserve communication between Southern and Northern Arizona, as at present. | lt was not my purpose 10, in any way, in | terfere with the service from San Bernardino to Prescott ria Ehrenberg and did not, ask 1 ing only for new and distinct service UiG Mo | have but the Department was not willing to maintain three routes from California to 'Ari- zona and as the citizens of California favored the Mohave route, and the contractor ria EhreDberg had informed the Department of his willingness to go that way, the transfer was accepted as the 0nly means through which the service petitioned for could be secured.
 When the railroad is completed to San Bernardino, as it soon will be, this route will q think admit of quicker and certainly easier transportation of the mails from San Francisco to Central Arizona, than a direct route from Bakersfield to Mohave.
 These changes are the very best that can at this time be had and trust they will prove generally advantageous and acceptable.
 The P. o. Department is reducing service and curtailing expenses in every direction, and l know of no more difficult or disagreable task in Washington than to obtain any in- crease of mail facilities for Territory. Hav- ing however " put my hand to the plough, " l was determined not to turn back. and the results now reported will, hope, show that have persevered until have secured nearly all, if not all, of the points urged in the peti- tions sent to me from Prescott and other towns. Yours Truly,
 R. c. Nc CoRMICK.

ABOUT SCHooLs.-0n the outside of this paper will be found an article on the sub ject of popular education, which sets forth our ideas so clearly and in so much better language than we can command, that we de- sire every reader of the MINER to peruse it and think about it. It is the question of all questions that ought to engage the thought full attention of the people. There is a strong and concerted effort going on to break up the school system in favor of sectarian interests. Already two Churches, the Catholic and Mormon, have mathematical it frem the pulpit. And several protestant denominations are insisting upon tho read ing of the Bible in the schools, which will, of course, render them odious to those whose particular version is discarded, and afford pretext for division. It is quite as impor- tant that all sectarian teachings be excluded from the school room and that nothing be- yond pure morals and good department in that direction be allowed. as that the schools shall not be divided up among the various religious denominations. Divide the chill dren in the schools and you divide them in their lives, in their thoughts, in their preiu- dices and unfit them to become good citi- zens of free republic.

here to inspect the premises and interview our merchants, with view 10 arrange for the commencement of Express operations. He comes with a hearty determination to identify himself and Company with our min ing and other interests.
 Mr. James A Moore, agent, has changed the stage route between here and Florence, so that the stage now runs from Desert sta tion through direct to Florence, leaving the Picacho mountains to the right, and etfecting difference of 1J miles less in distance than formerly. The road is still new and little rough, but large force of men are at work grading, etc. which will soon make 1t m as good condition as the old one. Reports of travellers passing over the road speak very highly of the promptness shown at all the stations, the good condition of the stock and the efficient manner in which the road Is managed.
 X daring robbery was perpetrated one night last week at the corral of Wm: Morgan, at about midnight, it being entered by thieves and six mules and two horses taken out. Mir. Morgan immediately organized party and started in pursuit of the thieves, who had headed for Sonora {; they were overloaded near small town in Sonora. The stock wss recovered, but the robbers escaped.
 Verde. May l2.-News was received by the New Mexican mail rider, that the detach- ment of 5th Cavalry which left here on the Sd inst. under Col. Mason, camped at Snow Lake last night, about 90 miles distant. The roads are reported as being rough and rocky, and telling on the wagons.
 Gen. Hardie, Inspector General, inspected this Post yesterday, and departed for Camp Mcdowell this morning.

QUICKSILVER.

That quicksilver in some form exists some where in Central Arizona is the settled con viction of all who have given the matter an intelligent investigation. The mercurial paints found in the oldIuins along the Verde, of which we have had frequent occasion to speak, afford sufficient evidence of the fact if we should look for no further proof. But we have been shown samples of Cinnabarine sand collected in the placers of lower Agus Fria, in which we can hardly be mistaken, besides parties have from time to time exhib- ited pieces of cinnabar of excellent quality 50 closely resembling that of the Almaden' in California, as 10 arouse a suspicion that they really came from that celebrated mine and were being introduced here for sensa- tional purposes.
 Whether any deposits of cinnabar have re- ally been discovered here or not, we are not prepared to say. A Mir Malcolm and two or three others, all from the Crook mine, have been out prospecting, and on their return, last Saturday, exhibited some beautiful spec linens of cnnabar. Where they got it? how much there is of it! and all that, are ques- tions that may admit of argument, but the samples shown us of almost pure red sulphu- rets of mercury are too plain to be mistaken, at any rate we are willing to stake our sci entiic reputation on the issue.
 The red Sulphide of mercury or Vermilon, once seen and understood, makes an impression on the m ind that is not readily forgotten.
 The parties also brought in pieces of a harder ore that we judge to be what is known as hepatic cinnabar, which is always present in graater or less quantities in quicksilver mines. It is known by its grayish sub-me- talc luster, and novices often mistake the shining particles for globules of native quick silver.
 This class of ore is inferior to the vermil- ion in yield and is more difficult to work.
 The vermilion or sulphurets of mercury requires only to be fuxed with common lime when it readily evaporates in retort and can be worked with little expense, while the hepatic ore requires crushing and chemi- cal treatment.

HUALPAIs.-So far as heard from, the Hualpais are still peaceable and appear to wish to remain so. Dan O'Leary has gone out again and will make arrangements with them for a meeting with the Agent, Dr. Tonner. General Kautz has his troops all ready, with Indian scouts to assist in the work of putting them back on the Reserva- tion if it shall become necessary; though both he and pr. Tonner have hopes that the Interior Department will consent to allow them to remain in the mountains, at least during the summer months. and perhaps set them off reservation where they will be better satisfied than they ever can be in the valley of the Colorado.
 Those who know these Indians best ap- pear to put confidence in their promise to remain quiet, and hope they will not be urged to return to the Colorado for fear of a war, which, no matter how vigorously prosecuted, must of necessity create panic and put back the development of the coun- try.

REMaRKING upon the late stopage of travel overland the Salt Lake Herald says: '' It is useless to grumble. It is harder on the rail road than on the community, and self interest will force the company to strain every nerve to reopen communications. The close of the continental trafic for single week even is a serious affair and will doubtless aid the Southern Pacific railroad enterprise in the next Congress. Our trans-continental re- lations cannot be safely confined to single line of road which is always liable to be obstructed in certain seasons. The interests of the Pacific coast are too large and the n- tercourse between the east and the west too extensive to be thus dependent That sou thern continental railroad is national ne cessity is this week more apparent than ever.
 and were Congress now in session, it could
 hardly avoid granting the incidental aid asked by Colonel Scott for that enterprise 3
