 Col. c. G. v. French, of Sacra- mento, has been appointed by the President Chief Justice of Arizona. And we can say, knowing whereof we speak, that this appointment was one fit to be made. His testimonials from the California Bench and Bar are of the very highest character.

Redue,ton of silver Ores.

Referring to the process of Lixivia- ton, in the reduction of silver ores, which was explained with great mi nuteness in THE CITIZEN of October 23, The San Francisco Bulletin in a late number says:
 The hypo-snlphate or teaching pro cess for the reduction of silver ores, has lately been introduced into Lower California and the Northern States of Mexico with marked success. It deserves the attention of mine-owners in Cslifornis and Nevada, from the fact that it dispenses entirely with the use of quicksilver and has proved to be 6 cheaper mode of treating re- bellious ore, than any yet made pub lie.
 In Chihuahua, Sinalos, Sonora and Lower California, quite a number of mills have taken out their barrels and pans, and substituted teaching tubes in their places, and since the change in their method of reduction, some of these mills have increased their bullion product over $l,OOO, GOO per annum. Mining companies, that before reslized but small profits, are now making large dividends. Other mills are now making the necessary changes in their works to adapt them to the teaching process. Thousands of tons of ,astra tailings, which could not be made to pay when worked in pans, are now proftably worked by teaching. In Mexico it has proved the cheapest method of treating re- bellious silver ores and 1t has this to recommend it-it is free to all who are inclined to use it. Experiments are now being made in this State to roast and chloridize the ore before crushing, and if successful, the cost of working refractory silver ores will be reduced to minimum.

THE weather was boisterous early In the
 week. Early Wednesday and until late in the afternoon a storm Of dust filled the air, and such a storm as seldom occurs in these parts. About four o'clock, rain be- gan tO fall and continued till near next morning when snow came down and whit ened the ground in town and has len snow-caps on the surrounding mountains, but the sun soon caused all 10 disappear in the valley. Thursday night was clear and cold, and yesterday morning the soft ground and shallow pools of water were frozen solid; but the day was one of gor- geous sunshine and about noon was very mild, By reference to our file. we find that rather more snow fell February 22, 1871, and laid longer than this time. The mud began to freeze before sunset last evening, and this morning the ground is solid and shallow pools covered with ice.

Gen. Kautz's report nearly all of which appears on our first page today, is dated August 31, 1875, and yet as he could not with propriety make it pub lie until the President had sent it to Congress with the report of the Sec retary of War; it has but just been published by the General; and it will yet be from four to six months before it will be printed by order of Congress As intimated in our last number, this delay is manifestly unfair to any officer, and particularly so in the case of Gen. Kautz. Had he been allowed until November to make his report, and we see no reason why he might not have been, he would have discovered the groundless nature of the information given him by interested parties con- corning the Indians and the reserva- tions, and thereby been saved the dis cussion and criticism of a state of af- fairs which had no actual existence and therefore no cause for apprehension. It is alike unjust to an officer and the people to demand reports so long be- tore they can be made public, and es- pecially SO upon the frontier where the situation changes so frequently and often unexpectedly.
 Another illustration of the working of "red tape" is found in the fact that it was only on Tuesday last that the order regarding the death of Vice Pres ident Wilson was received at Camp Lowell, when by ordinary course of mail, If the telegraph would not sui flee, it should have been here some weeks ago. We are at remote point, but the Secretary of War might with put an end to the circumlo- cution which permits such unneces- sary delay, and places officers at the aforementioned disadvantage.

Gen. SchodeId's Indian Policy.

The Portland Oregonian is sorry to see the recommendation of General Schofield for the transfer of the Indian management to the War Department. That paper goes on to say: The plan is bad one-bsd for the Ind ians and bad for the whites. It may mean better economy though that is not at all self-evident but it means some things which are not mentioned in the recommendation. It means tue practical abandonment of all moral restraints and teachings among the Indians; the eradication of the germs of civilization which have already shown such encouraging signs of ultimate fruitfulness under the foster ing care of the pesce policy; the gen. eral debauching of the minds and persons of the young Indians of both sexes, and of many of the white men who, from contiguous residence or bus mess with the posts, are about the places where the Indians are gathered; ; the relaxation of all orderly and sys- temstic dicipiine, and the introduction among the Indians of all the vices, with few if any of the virtues, of the dominant race.

The Twenty-Cent Piece.

The twenty-cent piece was author ized by Congress chiefly to put an end to the five-cent swindle so long perpe- trated in California in the matter of making change. Visitors to San Fran cisco have for years complained that a charge of ten cents for anything, really meant fifteen, unless one happened to have the precise change in hand. For instance if quarter of a dollar is ten dered for a newspaper the price of which is ten cents but ten cents is giv- en in change. The excuse being that there are no five-cent pieces, or that five cents IS too insignificant sum to care about, the vendor always mak- ing it point to have the difference in his favor. In single transaction the sum would be small, but in the aggre- gate of numerous transactions each day, it amounts to matter of conse- quence and to a constant vexation to strangers, if not to residents.
 We had supposed that the California press would welcome the new coin and urge its general use, but we observe that with few exceptions, it is disposed to sheer at it and to applaud the public for permitting the whole coinage to lie at the mint unused. This is great mistake and like injustice to the peo- pie, and will probably result in an act of Congress ordering the total with. drawal from circulation of the twenty five cent piece. as heretofore wisely recommended by the Director of the Mints.
