Whereabouts Of Hostile Indians.
From Silver City Herald:
 CARDwELL's RANCH, UPPER GILA

From Silver City Herald:
 CARpwELL's RANCH, UPPER CHA,
 May 2S, 1877.
 EDS. HERALD:-I have just returned from a scout with Lieut.. G. K. McGun. negle's command west of the Gila river along the foothills of the Mogo Hon mountains t0 Canon Grande on White Water; thence south to Mule Springs. We saw no Indians or signs that could lead to the belief that any were in the neighbnrhoOd. Nutwilh standing we saw none it is an indiSpu table fact that Indians infest the neigh bOrhood of the Upper Gila and dep redate upon the settlers, who feel great insecurity for life and property, and will continue to do so until the Ind, ians are either captured and taken ta the San Carlos agency or are made to believe that the Upper Gila is an un safe place for them to abide in.
 We met Captain Cooney al Mule Springs, who had returned but few days before from a scout of the Blue creek country and who reported hay ing seen camps which had recently been occupied by Indians. He further stated that the section of couLtry in which he secuted it was impossible for cavalry 10 act with efficiency. being nal pals and as rugged as Is possible for the mind tO conceive of. 1 know thls to be true and also know that an Indian on foot there can outstrip the fleetest horse. Neither of these had irackers which are as essential m pursuit of Indians as will ing feet and enduring horses. With out men who can follow an Indians footsteps with the unerring sagacity of a bloodhound the commands might as well have been in barracks. Ii may be that ihe presence of troops has in limldated raiders and driven them to other localities, but that is not giving security to settlements or a step toward settling the evil complained of. II is an easy matter 10 fight Indians after they have found them and brought Ihem to bay, but finding them is the trouble. IL is necessary to locate them and steal upon their encampment at night before dead Indians can be counted, and 1 am satisfied that both ihe Captain and Lieutenant did all in their power. WILSON.

Tn" Cause of Many MiuIog Fail {
 ures.

The prime cause of many mining failures, especially in new fields of operations, is the incompetency of as assayers and amalgamatnrs. New fields are the places for mountebanks In this line to operate in; in old ones they cannot exist day. Any healthy man can take ore from the ground, although a mine is only extensively opened on scientific principles; but without a knowledge of various min- erals and chemicals and what effect one has upon the other under many conditions, a man cannot work ores successfully nor can he by any process be certain of the value of ores contain ing the precious metals, save perhaps the simple gold ores.
 MeG who have paid close attention 10 mining operations in thls locality, are of opinion that hundreds of thous. ands of dollars have been wasted be cause of the employment of incc mpe- tent assayers and amalgamators, and worse than all, doubt thrown upon mining operations and good miners and earnest workers discouraged. It often happens at times that these Incompe tent men, are not fully aware of their utter incapacity The successful and thorough extraction of the precious metals from the various combinations of rock, sulphur, antimony. arsenic, lead, copper, iron, etc, is the work of men skilled in miDeralogy and chem istry, and such men are always in de. mand and not to be found on the cor. ners talking big of what they have done or can do. Actual miners must realize and act upon the fact that while almost any man can dig out rich ore, very few can thoroughly extract the precious metals from the ores. If only assays are wanted, ores can be sent, al small cost, to assayers of known ca pacity and integrity; if practical anal gamstors and assayer5 for operating 2 mills and mines are wanted, they should be employed from the ranks of those whose capacity is established among successful mining and milling proprie tors.

A Card.

EDITOR CITIZES:-Wc have seen an ar liclr m the DaIty Miner, June 2d, over sig nature UG BrIgsS GODdrIch. Said article lS written m all m einpeFale style, and the venom Of personal anIInosity to Mir. John Wa>SOn, Editor Oi luE CITIzES, runs through every senlencc. How a paper tnstl ls called aHd ( 'I>IderS ilSeif ably ed- ltcd aud conducted like the Miner, should allow such hedtvd communication d plac-' ln Its columns, IS surprising. The article ls but u transparent disguise 10 palm upon tnc puUiic or rather Introduce tO their notice thr pcr>- nal hutreds Of the writer. The hrart-burnlngs OI Mir, Good rich against Mr. WasSOn may mt concern uSI but when It ls attempted tO be made out that Mir.

Mir WasSon did not even speak word 10 Judge French except tO pass the mpliments of tle evening, therefore took no part as im- puleu tO nun.

Railway Developments.

Everything relating to railways pointing southwArd from Utah or southward and eastward from Califor- nia, is of interest in Arizona. The San Diego Union of June ], has the following:
 Some suggestive facts are given in connection with the sale of tine Santa Monica Railroad to the Central Pacific This transaction carries with it the grade beyond Los Angeles and inc oc- cupation of Ihe Cajnn Pass. The pos session of the Pass is Ihe most valua ble part of the purchase. IL enabics the Central Pacific 10 complete Its programme, marked out from the first, for the Sou hern Pacific" branch, winch will now be extended in direct line through from San Francisco to the Colorado river. Los Angeles will be left in full enjoyment of the tacil- ities afforded by the San Fernando branch. Tine construction of few miles of raIl through the CajOn Pas will straighten the Southern Pacific and leave Los Angelrs about eighty miles south of the main line between San Francisco and Yuma. Those few miles of rail will be built as soon as the Central Pacific arranges Its coLnec- ton with the Texas Pacific There will be contest over this scheme, which has the opposition of those who want the Texas Pacific tn be an in- dependent competing line, through tn the Pacific, al San Diego. When Ihis contest is decided, Ihe CajUn Pass " shortcut will be built.
