4 Government Problem.

The Government has now presented for its action another case of class which has frequently come to its mo- tice in the last few years. Some min eral discoveries are reported in Indian Territory, and already there is rush of white men to take possession of the country. The case promises to be similar to that which arose from the Black Hills discoveries, excepting that now the obligations of the Govern ment are stronger, if anything, than before. It will be remembered that when the miners first began to enter the Hills, they were notified not to do so, because it was part of an Indian reser- vation. But they paid no attention to the order. Then troops were sent to drive them out; but nothing was ever accomplished. In effect both the Gov ernment and its army were defled; and in the meantime the Indian Chiefs were summoned to councils and "per- suaded to give up their reservation and go somewhere else. This "per- suasion could be exercised in that case, because the Interior Department had control of the Indians and could practically send them where it chose, on the public lands. This Black Hills case is the most recent and notorious back-down on the part of the United States, in the management of its own domain, but there are many others on the list, and we are now to see wheth- CT the Government is strong enough to hold the Indian Territory intact against the white men who are forbid den by law to enter there; or whether it will simply keep hands of until there can be legislation cutting of a slice of the Territory now supposed to contain minerals. The President is said to be anxious; but it is also stated, that army officers are confident of be ing able to execute orders. Is it not a fine state of things when the President of the United States has to be assured that the military power of the country is able to enforce the orders of its SUI
 periors? Why is there any question on that subjecty Is not the country in sympathy with the execution of the law; or is there doubt whether the men composing the military will dc their duty, which is to obey orders; ol cannot the United States army muster men enough at one place to stop the encroachments of white men upon
 soil assigned, by the most solemn
 treaties, to the sole use of the Indian tribes?
 We shall see.

THE passengers by last nights stage report the track laid: :snineteensmiles thIs side of Maricopa, and work still going on, but it was feared that work would have to stop soon on account of the heat. Already the rails have to be handled by tongs, as graspipg them a few times with the hands raises severe blisters.
 Some anxiety is expressed in San Francisco, and at the end of the line, as to whether the muddle into which things are thrown by the adoption of the new California constitution, may not have a damaging effect on the Southern Pacific. The money to furn- ish materials and do the work has been coming from the locality of San Francisco, and it is possible that the company may have to suffer from the general depression and want of conf. dence caused by the adoption of the New FooliShness."

Evans DfstrIet.

| Below are the minutes of a meeting of miners at present in the Evans Dis trict for the purpose of organization :
 March, A. D. 1879.
 By virtue of the late acts of the Gen eral Assembly of Arizona, and the mining acts of Congress. providing for the judicious organization of mining districts. we the subscribers hereunto have this day assembled for the pur- pose of organizing new district and enacting a code of laws, whereby MT. Chas C. Ram was appointed Char man of the meeting, and MT. James lG. Williams, Secretary, and the fol flowing resolutions were read and ac- cepted, viz:
 I. Resolved, That We the subscribers claim for a new District all the terri tory embraced within the following described boundary line, viz: Our east line, commencing at NIT. Joseph Darrah's ranch, shall run thence south to San Raphael valley; thence our south line runs west along San Raphael range of mountains for the distance of ten miles; thence our west line shall run north to a point four miles west of McGary's ranch on the BabOcomari creek (said creek being a boundary line); thence our north line runs east to Mir. Joseph Darrah's res idence.
 II. Resolved that every location made in this..District must be recorded in the records thereof, within the time of limitation prescribed by law or else said claim shall be of no effect. III. Resolved, That the name of this district shall be Evans District, and C.. A. Evans shall be recorder thereof.
 ". Resolved, That there shall be one Recorder elected in the District, whose duty it shall be to examine the boundaries of all locations and see that they are correct and to forward all notices filed in his office to the County Recorder within 60 days, and it shall also be the duty of said Re corder as near as possible to see that all claims are on record within sixty days.
 V. Resolved that one copy of these resolutions shall be placed on record in the County Clerks office of Pima county, and also be sent to TIE ARI. zoNA CITIZEN for publication.

From Dos cdbezus.

We had the pleasure of long inter- view this afternoon with Mir. John Casey. an owner in one of the best gold claims in Dos CabeZas District, and who arrived in town yesterday from that section.
 We have several times mentioned the tiattering prospects of Mir. Casey's mine and of other adjoining claims on the same ledge. Mir. c. discovered his claim in January 1878, and located It the following month. Last June he began work and now has shaft down sixty-six feet. Most of the time he has been working five men and run ming three arrastras by which means he was able to reduce about five tons of ore per week. The result of this rude process gives an average of $50 per ton. The ore carries free gold and runs very even so far as developed. At the place where Mir. Casey has sunk his shaft there are three ore veins, but these converge and unite about 100 feet east of the shaft and there the vein is over fifteen in width. The ledge runs east and west, crops out for eight miles and there are ten claims on it which show free gold.
 A couple of weeks ago we men, toned in THE CITIZEN the purchase of a claim adjoining Casey's for $6000, by MT. J. NJ. Martin of California. A tunnel has been run on this claim cut ting the ledge at depth of fifty-six feet, and was twelve feet in ore when Mir. Casey left. They had also started drift from this tunnel. The ledge is in slate and gives every sign of per manence. Mr. Casey thinks there about 150 people in the district, more are coming, houses are being built, several of which arc already habit. able, wells have been sunk, they have two stores, rcstaurand and postoffice, and every thing looks as though the people had confidence in the district and were there to stay. We can only wish them the most abundant pros perity.

Tbe Constitution Adopted.

The news from California is that her people have said "yes!" to the new constitution. The struggle over, the successful side will prophecy noth- ing but happiness for the State; while the beaten minority will mourn their evil days. There never was an cleo. tion of the kind where the breach be- tween the two sides was so wide. and impossible of reduction; and the con. test has been carried on with a bitter. ness and want of courtesy most extraor. dinary and disgraceful. What are SUD. posed to be the best minds in the State have pronounced the most opposite judgments as to the effect of this i'm portant document and men from abroad have been called in to express themselves as experts on the subject of its operation. It was noticeable that the financial interest was especially hostile, many institutions abandoning their usually conservative attitude and pressing to the front of the fray.
 We should like to have seen this new constitution defeated, as its adop- non represents the success of the dis. honest agitation now long prevalent in California; and shows that the time has not yet come when the intelligence of that State is to rule it. We do not expect to see California depopulated. nor do we think that all of the millions invested there will take wings and hy away; but the doubt and uncertainty that will attend the years which must pass before the novel provisions of the new constitution can be construed will be like & nightmare to many of the enterprises of our neighbor State, and will, no doubt, drive from her borders both men and money. which she can i'll afford to lose.

The eenenal EFeet of the Esto.


 The Presidents veto of the Army Bill fell like very wet blanket over the heat and enthusiasm of the majori- ty in Congress, in their haste to catch the Administration in a corner: The aFgument of the document was so un- expected and crushing that the entire host of the Democratic party, gave on- ly one universal howl of wrath and disappointment, and then scrambled away to shelter under the wing Of the caucus. And now it has been deter mined to abandon the " tacking" busi- ness so far as the Army Bill is con- eerned, to pass the appropriation, and to get through the political legislation in some ether shape, at the same time making the usual declamations about "going to ihs country" This may be called backdown No. 1, and we anti eipate numbers 2, 3, &c. 10 follow in due season. The appropriation bills will go through, but Congress may stay in Washington debating politics all summer long; and the people will not care much,
 Mr. Hayes action in this case has also, had the effect of removing from the minds of men in his own party the feeling of distrust which was largely prevalent there. The idea is general ly gaining ground that Hayes is the President of the United States and not of his party, but that on all questions of public importance his convictions are with his party, and that his con victions can be counted on to control his actions. Perceiving this, the lead CTS of his party are compelled to re- spect him, at the same time that indi- viduals are occasionally disappointed in not having their own wishes con suited as fully as they deem proper As to the people at large, there is no question but that in their estimation he stands higher than he ever did.

LATE advices from San Francisco, state that things there are in an eX- ceedingly nervous state, over the con. stitutional election: indeed it is SO bad that many anticipate panic to follow the adoption of the new instrument. Money cannot be had. because the holders are afraid to let it go, upon any security however good it may be regarded; no less a parsonage than Leland Stanford having been refused s loan of a few thousand dollars, one day this week.
