THE SONORA REBELLION.
Engagement at Arlspe-Bstsle of Cumpes Reported DemOralfsa. tfOn of the State Forces.

News from authentic sources reached Tucson, on the evening of January 10 that 6 party of Serna troops, under command of General Quilimaco, at tackled a party of the Pesqueira troops on December 29, and compelled tho latter to fall back upon Arispe, at which point the State troops were reinforced and assuming the offensive, in turn compelled QuilimacO to retreat with loss.
 On January 3, quite decisive battle took place at the town of Cumpas Cumpas was garrisoned by some hun dred and fifty of the Pesqueira or gov ernment forces, and on the morning oi the instant, General Quilimsco at the head of about forty Sernam men attacked the place. After a spirited contest oi some hours the State troops were severe ly defeated and compelled to evacuate the town which was taken possession of by the Serna men.
 The loss in these engagements has not been learned, although in the latter it is reported as considerable.
 Seior Moreno, who arrived from Montezuma on the 10 instant, reports that Ures, the capital of Sonora has pronounced in favor of General Serna and is now in the possession of the lat ter's adherents. The Serna party have now possession of Ures, Hermosillo, Altar and several other important places, according to seemingly reliable report, and there seems to be more or less demoralization among the State forces. Considerable parties, claiming to be deserters from the Pesqueira fore es, are reported to have arrived on this side of the line within the last two weeks, and give the above coloring to the condition of affairs among the gov ernment troops.

Killing at She PIacers.

Information reached here this week that on the Eth instant, Wm. Burns had been shot and killed by Alexander Stevens, commonly called "Buckskin Alex" at the Santa Rita placer settle ment. On Wednesday the 18th, com plaint was made before Justice Meyer. in the matter and upon representation made, a warrant was issued the same day. Stevens left the vicinity of the killing immediately after the occur renee, and is reported to have gone over into Sonora, and the warrant will probably fail execution. The act caus ed more or less talk and some excite ment at Santa Rita, but the prevailing sentiment seemed to be that there were some grounds of justification for the deed,-if there ever are such. Domes tlc difficulty is believed to have beer at the beginning, and scattered promis cuously throughout the chapter of two mems lives that thus endeth for tn, victim.

ARIZONA.

FLORENCE, January H., Rich dis
 coveries of silver mines have lately
 been made in Pinal mountains, situated
 in the globe district, distance of thirty five miles from Camp San Carlos and twenty-five miles northeast of Silver King. One of these, the Rescue, IS owned by Gov. Stafford of Tucson, Messrs. Wilson & Hope of San Fran cisco, and NIT. RambOz of this place. Sixteen hundred pounds of ore taken from a shaft yielded in value twenty seven hundred and fifty-seven silver dollars. Eighteen tons of Rescue ore, have been shipped via San Carlos ana Camp Grant to Yuma for San Francisco. Messrs. Metcalfe & Brothers and several others of Silver City New Mexico, have several valuable mines equal to the Rescue in the same dis trict. We understood that Mir. w.. Metcalfe left several days ago for pur- chasing necessary working machinery. The Silver King, Redeemer, Black Cloud, and various other mines are in full operation and yield we'll. The second shipment oftwenty tons of King ore to San Francisco, took place few days ago. The Ohio and Arizona crushing, smelting and refining works, located at Stoneman, twenty-two miles north of Florence, and conducted by Messrs. Niman & Nash, are in full run ming order.

Unreliable Estimates.

Wells, Fargo 6 O. each year give a statement of the bullion product of the several Pacific States and TerritO- ries, and while that given for Nevada, California and perhaps one or two other political divisions, where they have numerous offices, may be made upon approximately reliable data and there. fore nearly correct the company can have no facts to warrant even an esti. mate of the product of Arizona, and therefore they do this Territory great injustice in sending one broad cast, backed up by their influential name. That Company now have not one office in Arizona, We believe, and there fore can have no positive knowledge upon which to make the estimate they have recently made regarding our pro. duct, and were wholly unjustifable Tn publishing It.
 We do not administer this rebuke to the Company more because of the re. diculously small estimate, than because of the effrontery exhibited in making and publishing any estimate, without a reliable fact upon which to base one regarding ArizOna's bullion product.

Local Mining Affairs.

SL. Nash. of Niman & Nash ot Stoneman, Pinal county, came into town early in the week. He informs HIS that their new reduction works run fully equal to expectations, but he says they must and will at once add a furnace, roasting being found necessary to expel the base metals. NIT. Nash IS very much encouraged, not only with the reduction works, but with the prospects for abundance of rich ore from Pinal district He also informs us that returns had just been received from San Francisco of the sale of eight and one-half tons of Silver King ore, for the large price in gold of sll.525 and some odd cents, the exact number of which he did not remember Any one can apply the figures as to the rate per ton. He says the second shipment of King ore has been made to San Francisco; also that he understands Mir. Powers has offered $2000O0 for the King mine-$1O00O0 cash and balance sometime after, and condition of the sale is that the purchaser is to put a mill up in connection with the mine.
 Our Florence telegrams tell the re- mainder of the Pinal mining business for this week.

He also informs us that J. c. Truman, general manager, left San Francisco for Tucson via San Der nardino on the 12th.
 The placer mines about the Santa Rita and Patagonia mountains, are at tracting much attention, and if little more rain falls, a stream of gold will pour into this town. John Montgom- cry was in town this week, and says he is going to abandon farming on the San Pedro and locate in the mining regions about the Patagonia; says all along the main ravine water can be obtained by sinking shallow wells, and abundance of dirt that will pay to cart Co water can be found in all the ravines :; also that D. T. Harshaw is well pre- pared to catch and save water. c. G. Jones and others accompanied MT. Montgomery from here to the placer fields
 J. L. Darrah was in this week from the Ostrich and Old Mine. He reports the Ostrich mill as having started up on Yellow Jacket ore, for Tom Roddick, and the Old Mine developing as finely as could be expected. The mining prospects generally out that way are looking very we'll

 With this number of the Miner be gins the thirteenth volume of the paper, though the 12th year of it's existence will not have expired until March, the first number having been issued on the 9th of that month in 1864 at old Fort Whipple, inl Chino Valley. During the ten months of our Proprietorship of the paper the population of Prescott has about doubled. The demand for babbit metal, has been so pressing up on us of late that we could not fill all orders, and in order to be able to do so we have ordered from San Francisco, and it was shipped December 18th, an entire new dress for the Miner.
 The election held on Tuesday, 4th inst, resulted as follows For Mayor, George D. Kendall had no opposition and received 246 votes out of the 251 cast. For Council, D. c.

 The report of the Treasurer for the past year was filed with the Board of Supervisors on Monday, but contrary to the usage of this and all other coun- tries in which we have ever lived, the Board seems to have concluded that it was not a matter of which the people ought to be to inquisitive, and decided not to have Unpublished unless it should be done gratuitously ss an item of news. We have never heard that any body furnished the county with wood or that the officers gave their services gratuitously, and the printer has to live as well as they

Benefit to Mr.. Langrishe.

The veteran actor, Mr.. John S.
Langrishe, will be the recipient of a
grand complimentary benefit, at the
Opera House, this evening, and we
have no doubt but that the house
will be crowded s.from pit to dome
as the critics would say. Mr.. Lam
grishe is one of the most popular and
finished actors in the west while his
company is the equal ofany now per-
forming anywhere.
The programmes for tonight an
nounce the great drama of s'The
Colleen Bawn," one of those univer-
sally popular plays which draw
crowded houses wherever billed, and
we can assure our readers that it will
be put upon the stage here in the
best style and enacted in q manner
which would draw commendation
from its author were he present. The
entertainment will conclude with the
rib-rending farce Of Poor Pillicoddy,'
the two pieces forming a bill of un.
usual promise. Don't fail to attend

Gen. Reynolds to Go on the Stand.

A Washington exchange of recent
date has the subjoined announce
ment, which is official:
General Reynolds has at last been
subpoenaed by the Committee on
War Expenditures, to answer the
charges against him made by Gen.
eral Alexander McCook. Hcproposes
to wipe out all such testimony as
General McCook gave against him"
In this case, Reynolds proposes,
but McCook may dispose. However,
should Reynolds "wipe out" the
McCook charges, we think Gen. Geo.
Crook may be able to make some
charges which will not be so easily
disposed of-but perhaps they will
not contain proper matter for inves-
|tigation by o Congressional commit
tee, q court-martial being more suit
able to their nature.

miles from there ran across seven In

their way, and they followed him till
8 o'clock at night, he being at that
time about forty miles north of Pine
Bluffs. He gave them the slip aud
reached Pine Bluffs at s o'clock
