Captain Thomas Blair, of the 10th Infantry, brought bis trial as New York te an sbrupt termination by pleading guilty to the charge of big amy. The law makes 1t a felony for 6 person to have more shan one wife or husband. This evidently is 8 progressive age. It is nov crime to do what Abram vas applauded for. He took Hagar to wife without divOrcing Sarah, snd not until after Hagar became enceinte was there 8 family jar. The cause of quarrel was the resultof Hagsr giving Sarah the cold shoulder and claiming that she was bess-an3 thus they lived for fftssa years, Snt;l she Lord seeing the drift of things stepped in and informed Abram that He would ''mulhply h;m exceedingly" and give him 8 son also of Sarah, and this promise so tickled Abe that he laughed in hls heart' and caused him to excIaim "Shall a child be born unto him that is a hundred years old? and shau Sarah, that is ninety wears old, bear" Sometime after this event, not because of dis approval of plural marriages, Abra- ham, after a sleepless night, in con sequence of q eeaseless jar between the women and the seeming lmposi- bilrty of their living in harmony be- meath the same thatch, he took bread and bottle of water, which be gave to Hagar, and ordered her to skin out, which she did wish her son and wandered m the wilderness of Beer sheba, and when in the last extremi- ty on the dry route, the Lord succOr- ed them, and instead of proclaimng her son, as our laws would have dOnei bastard, He made him q great nation"
 Blair's case does not differ from that of Abraham's, which the Divine law approved, and wbiIe that is the fact a mundane law of the 18th cen sury consigns pclygamists to the pen itentiary, a striped cap, striped brooches and coat, tue cut of Mahta lina's, with dam'd short tail to it,

 Very little has been said about the McCormick mine, since 1ir. Mans field began work on ir. We were greatly pleased 3 day or two ago by the sight of a piece of ore taken out of the lowest opening made on she' lode, which, t vas said, aad we be- heve the assertion, would assay ever S2, 800 per ton. The ore in ques- ton was compact piece some fl inches long by 1z wide and 9 thick, and it's weight showed that it vas al- mOst solid metal. The rich portion of the veln from which 1t was taken, Is said to be eighteen to twenty inches thick, and is quite regular. 4 lode that yields such fine ore is very likely to make 8 valuable Paylng mine when effectively opened.
 
 We learn that AIr. ". Y. Kings bury is about to sink the shaft on the General Allen Iede, now 65 feet deep, one hundred feet deeper. The mine is 8 very PrOmlsIng one.
 Oh the 22d Millner < Watson inn prOyiled a quartz mill-the motive power was five squaws, Nick Palmer, the engineer who run lem. Sixty two pounds of Silver Era ore was reduced, amslgamated, retOrted and smelsed which yielded four pounds and half of silver bullion 960 fine about seventy-twO ounces.
 The Centennial ore worked recent ly at the Miami mill went over S700 per ton. We cannot get the exact figures, as there is a dispute about the assays, and samples of the pulp have been sent to San Francisco ts be tested.
 Work is being done on the Fan claim in the Quartzite range. IL has yielded some very rich ore in the past.
 The Telfair shaft Is s5 feet deep. The ground is quite hard.
 The Matamora shaft is ITO feet deep. No improvement of note has taken place of late in the quality of vein matter. 4 few pieces of chlO- ride stained rock assaying well in silver, was found some days ago, just enough to give encouragement in the work.
 We notice a statement in a Prescott paper to the effect that the Mack MOr- ris mine has been sold for $S0 900 cash. We cannot credit the item, as we believe the property is held at 2 much higher figure.
 The Silver Era mine is this d's- uies has been bonded to an Eastern  party for $35, 900.
 Good ore is being taken out of the old Mcdowell ground in Richmond Basin, now LeId under a relocation. the name of which we do not know.
 The Independence is looking better as the shaft goes down, last week mallesbIe silver was discovered. The width of the vein at 120 fees, be- tween the walls, is 121-2 feet.
