himself to the proper authorities.
A Eureka letter from Corn ucopia says
times are daily improving. One hum
dred men are working in the Leopard
mine and twenty-five at the mill: twelve
at the Panther and about sixteen or
twenty in the other mines that are being
prospected. Business of all kinds is
improving and they look for better times
this fall.
The discount on silver bullion at the
same time that II has discouraged silver
mining to certain degree, has given an
equal impetus to gold mining. A gen.
tleman who has just returned from a
trip to the gold mining counties Of Cali.

prevails, and that capitalists are buying
mp properties which before they could
not be induced to touch, and in the full
belief that gold mining is now to take
the lead OF silver. Mines. which a year
ago could have been had for four to five
thousand dollars. treble the sum 10 now

There were lively times at the vir-
ginia City Republican primaries last
Tuesday. The Chronicle says: At the
First and Fourth Ward polls their
proceedings we're quiet and und b anded -.
At the Third Ward poll their maneuvres
were less concealed, while in the Sec
ond Ward there were several who openly
boosted OF being Cresoents. At this
poll, at one time. there was every .pros.
pect for fight. The window of the poll
was carefully guarded by ex.JudRe Mar
pie and b. Bartlett. and voter could
not approach It without inconvenience.
Peter Burke, the well-known contractor,
brought up a number OF voters, every
one OF whom were challenged by some
one OF the Crescents present. One OF
them was not allowed TO vote, whereupon
Mr.. Burke said that the man was q Re.
publican and demanded Of Mr.. Bartlett
what he was. The latter promptly re-
piled: " I'm a Crescent, and l amt
ashamed to acknowledge it,"
Idaho Statesman says: Father Mesplie,
who is well posted on the Indian tribes,
gives the following estimate of their
numbers: He puts the Sioux down at
10000. the Crows at 5000, Blsckfeet
10000, Utes or Utahs 50. 900, and in ad.
dition there are the Brulo. Ogalalla,
Minnecopjou. Yanctonnais, Uncapapa,
Two Kettles, San Acres and Sontoo
bands. Some Of the Grows, and some
OF the Others who live around tho Reser.
vation, are friendly. but many who pre-.
tend friendship will gather arms and
ammunition for their tribes. He says
they are in strong alliance with each
other to carry on this war. although
when they have no common enemy to
Aght they fight each other; but now they
are united against what they consider a
common enemy. and will turn ont all
their warriors, and they will number at
least so, 600; and the Father says it is
likely to be the most formidable and
bloody Indian war in the history OF our
Government. They are we'll armed and
will fight to the death whenever they
| are eornered.
The Arizona Citizen says: Another
Sonora revolution is reported as likely to
break out any day, under the leadership
OF Ex-Governor Ignacio Pesqueira. who
is at home near Magdalena. Our in.
formation seems to come quite direct,
and is to the effect that Pesqueira has
| some thousands Of the best American
arms and abundance Of ammunition,
and that he claims to have men to use
them; also, that he swears General Mar
iscal shall never again see the City of
Mexico; that the opening Of the war will
be at Magdalena, and that he will clean
the valley at that place Of all it's inhabi-
tants. 1t is further reported that a lot
| OF very desperate men have arrived from
chihuahua with some $40, 900 in silver,
stolen from the Mint, and that the men
and money are at Pesqueirs's disposal
We sincerely hope General Mariscsl will
not wait to be attacked, but that he will
bounce upon Pesqueira and his gang and
kill every one of them-provided there
is no doubt Of their revolutionary pur-
poses. We have always believed that
Pesqueira would not submit a great
while to any rule, however wise and ben.
efc,al to the people. He has 80 long
ruled without regard to law or justice.
that it is too much to expect that he will
remain quiet under any ruls that only
gives him an equal show IN life with the
mass of the people. He is unwilling to
alone rule. but will be contented with
nothing less than rule and ruin, or ruin
without rule
