An Oversight.
The Mesilla, New Mexico, News, OF

The Mesilla, New Mexico, News, Of
April %, says:
Col. John D. Wilkins, Chief Com
missary of Subsistence, Department OF
Arizona, had Jas. Cough, chief clerk,
send US a list Of bids opened February
3rd, 1876. We extend many thanks
for favorS shown US.
After the extension of thanks, the
editor of the News stills the throb-
bings of his heart and publishes the
list of awards of contracts in Arizona,
under bids opened February ), 1876.
We merely cite this instance of kind
ness on the part of Colonel land per-
haps Major j. D. Wilkins, through
his chief clerk James Cough, to call
the attention of the department COM
mander to the fact that THE ARIZONA
CITIZEN, the leading newspaper of
this Territory, was not furnished
with the list ofawards of contracts re-
ferred to. We do not know that it is
the duty of any one to send such lists.
If it is not in the line of duty, the
partiality shown in furnishing such
list is injurious to all concerned, and
merits reproval whether it is caused
BY oversight or bad anlmus.

The Yield of silver.

A great deal of stress has been laid
on the enormous production Of silver
by the bonanza mines, but the simple
fact is that the production of silver in
comparison with gold has steadily
fallen off in the world for the last
twenty years. The production of sill
yer in 1873 was $4,000, 600; in 1874
it was 81, 800, 900; in 1870 it was only
S62, 00O.O 900. notwithstanding the I'M
mense yield OF Colorado and Nevada
mines. Gold has been far more produc-
tive than silver. Indeed gold is becom-
ing the common aud silver the precious
metal everywhere. In 1852, not long
after the discoveries of gold in Cali
fornia and Australia, the production
of gold amounted to SIG, 500, 600,
while the yield of silver was only S40,-
400, 900. Take the six years closing
with 1915, and the annual average
yield of gold was $l04, 100000, while
that of silver was only 1858, 500, 900,
looks as if the plethora in silver in
the market Just now was owing toI
artificial causes and could not last, be-
cause the yield of silver is not suff-
Gent to keep it permanently at that
point. There is not the slightest danger
Of its depreciation, but every reason to
expect its appreciation from the mo-
ment of its monetization on q large
scale in this country.

United States Attorney E. B. Pom

brings his wife with him and will not

Pardon Spencer, of Rhode Island,
who came as one of the Boston Colony,
arrived here last evening and repre-
sents the party quite dissatisfied with
the representations made to them by
Judge Cozzins, and that they will not
attempt to remain on the Little
Colorado. He looks for a majority of
them here soon. They view the mat
ter Just as the Miner has constantly
represented, a good country for in

colonization.
The people of Mohave County hav-
ing heard that the Prescott and San
mail line wGs about to be
to the Ehrenberg route, have
entered a remonstranee against any
change that will deprive them of the
regular semi weekly service. The
and the principal business
men of Prescott have joined them in
telegram TO Delegate Stevens, setting
forth the necessity of maintaining a
mail in that direction. Of course they
will have to keep up mail communi-
,ation with that county and instead
IF making it less the growing import
lnce of their mining interests would
,ather suggest an increase than dimi-
lution of the service. The real wants
# the county demand a mail on each
quite and it will be but short time
until it must be established.

WASHINGTON, April 17.-An immense
number of letters were received at the
Treasury Department to-day, accompa-
nying packages OF money sent for re-
demption, and requesting remittances
OF silver in return for the respective
amounts. These letters are from all
classes Of the business community, and
many of the senderS do not seem to
understand that silver will not be ex-
changed for legal tender notes. but on
ly for currency. There will be a con-
ference at the Treasury to-day for ex-
change of currency.

THERE is saying of Schopenhauer
that women remain all their life big
children; they have an eye for the thing
that Is nearest to them; they attach
themselves to the present; they mis-
take the appearance for the reality
and they set aside the most momentous
questions for the veriest trifle."
We don't know much about Schopen-
hauer, but if his mother was as big a
fool as her son, we don't wonder at the
latter's poor opinion of woman.

THE fact that Modoc Captain Jacks
grave sank down last summer created
considerable discussion: and. 10 put all
speculation at rest, the grave was
opened a few DAYS ago, when nothing
but an empty rude pine BOX was found
in the grave. The opinion is now that
the bodies of Jack and the other Ind
ians hanged with him were taken East
and preserved in alcohol shortly after
they suffered death-EXchange.

4 TEXAS INCIDENT Waco Tex.
as Examiner of the 4th instant has a
paragraph headed, Neatly Done"
which reads: A young man living
some ten or fifteen miles above the city
was awakened one night recently by
the suspicious barking and growing
of his dogs in the yard. Rising lightly
from bed he peeped out through a win
dow pane, and there, sure enough, he
discovered the cause of the disturbance.
Dmly outlined in the moonlight stood
the form of a man. With one hand he
was evidently untying the gentleman's
fine horse, which stood haltered for the
night, while with the other he held a
Six-shooter, pointing directly at the
front door. Taking in the situation at
a glance our young friend gently reach
ed for his shotgun, and, passing out at
the back door and round the corner.
opened the attack from an unexpected
and wholly unguarded quarter. Under
this skillful ceneralship the enemy
came down while just in the act of
and without even so much
as responding to the first fire. The de
ceased was buried without the honorsI
OF either peace or war
