Los PINos, Col, Oct. 21.-General Adams,
Special Commissioner of the Interior De-
partment, in order to affect the release Of the
women and children captured at the White
hoff, of the German Legation at Washington,
reached Ouray's house last night and came to
the agency this forenoon. He leaves immedi-
ately for White River, under escort of Is
Utes, commanded by Chief Saperno. Doug
las IS encamped about 100 miles from here.
If the women are given up he will probably
return in six days. Chief Ouray is doing all
in his power to assist Adams, and there is a
fair prospect that the women will be immedl-

the time, and IN talking about newspaper
work was about to say something in regard to
my heavy editorial responsibility, but Ward
checked me by asking:
"What creek is this? -
"Creekw exclaimed, ''why this is the Erie
canal.''
"How far is it nayigable ?''
.Why. of course il is navigable from one
end to the other.''
Well" solemnly replied Ward, ssthat

the way, think can make out some large
boats anchored up the stream there-what
are they, propellers or side wheelers?"
replied that they were mere canal boats.

'Ah! didn't think the stream was as shall
low as that" said Artemus.
..As shallow as what?"

along by horses. Now, of course, they must
walk in front of the boat, mustn't they? l

in explaining the pecuiarities of the big

he knocked my hopes into kindling wood by
remarking:

in summer they put the boats ON wheels,

for nearly half an hour, going fully into the
details of boating, the low, pathetic drawl:
''Any saw mills on this stream that you

Needless and L7jurTous Les.

Arizona enjoys peace with the In dians. Now and then an Indian or two or three of them do wrong. and our jails and penitentiary are pretty well filled with citizen criminals, and few are serving out sentences for murder or under sentence of death therefor; yet no one seems to hare been vicious enough to publish and telegraph abroad that citizens of this Territory are on the warpath or are engaged in plundering to any unusual or alarming extent The fact is, Ari- zona is to-day as free from crime by all sorts Of people-including IndiaLs -as any Territory in the Union. The people here know this to be true and act accordingly. They go and come at will-singly or in parties of two or more, as their convenience is best served. In the face of these we'll known facts, contrary reports are put in circulation and they find a place in nearly every paper East and West. Here is part of an item that Is now going the rounds of the Eastern press ;
 4 band of Indians, supposed tO be renegadeS from the san Carlos Reser vation, have been marauding for three miles around Tucson.
 False as every one hereabouts knows this report to be, ii is doing some dam age. Several letters have been re- ceived here of late asking if life is or is not secure from Indian attacks. Pima County is about 200 miles in length from east 10 west and from 125 10 l50 in width, and there has not been an Indian depreciation upon life or property in it since early in 1876.

0stnch MiN q Success

TIE CITIZEN is informed that Mir. Geo Hogg and Prof Kearsing have just arrived in Tucson with some bull lion and the news that they have put the Ostrich mill Tn successful run ming condition. They get ore from the Union mine half way between the mIll and Cerro Colorado, and about seven miles from the mill. Armstrong and Jenks are hauling ore to the mill and the mine is yielding plenty of it. Messrs. Hogg and Kearsing have been experimenting for sometime and have
 finally found the process by which the ore can be proftably worked in the Ostrich mill, and are now in town for supplies.
 We are informed tha; the supply of water is sufficient for milling and oth- CT purposes al the Ostrich mill. and wood we know is plentiful all round Our information is so positive, that we feel justified in putting the Ostrich mIll in the list of practical successes, and it will greatly stimulate mining in Arivaca and Gro Blanco Districts. May the Ostrich largely and perma- nently succeed, is the hope and wish of THE CITIZEN.

ArIzona m Philadelphia.

Ex-Gov. Stafford and associates have opened an office, BIO Stock Exchange
 Place in Philadelphia, for the purpose of dealing in mining property and
 managing the Eastern interests of their
 great Tombstone properties. At pres ent the Governor is mainly devoting
 himself to procuring capital to develop
 mines and practically work ores.
 While he did not discover mines in Tombstone, that district today owes
 more to his efforts in the procurement of means for practical mining than to any other one man. But a few weeks ago he procured, in connection with
 NIT. ". C. Parsons, ample capital to develop an extension of the Tough
 Nut and the Cincinnati claims, and the money is now being expended
 under the direction Of NIT. Parsons. They have made no money in the transaction, being perfectly willing to take their chances on the outcome. In other words, he is educating Eastern people to look upon and take interests in mining just as people do who are on the ground; then if nothing is made nobody is deceived or swindled and the great business of mining not dam aged. Here lawyers, doctors, mer- chants, clerks, mechanics-everybody, in fact-are putting money or labor, or both, into prospecting for mines or in their development. If they make a winning. it is usually a large one; if a losing, it is comparatively small and
 borne patiently, with no less faith in the general proftableness of mining. As rule, Eastern people have been, led to believe that all they had to dol to insure profits was to buy mine, "I without regard 10 development, and send on machinery without regard toI fitness. Gov. Stafford is, therefore, doing a splendid work, not only for Arizona but for Eastern investors. Iti is gratifying 10 learn that there is al strong inclination among wealthy men of Philadelphia to find new fields in which to employ their money and toI which they hope to extend their trade :, and just now Arizona is in high fayorl with them.

Washington Camp.

4 ride of about eight miles from Harshaw to the southward, over rather rough wagon road, brings the traveller to what is known as the Washington Camp, also in Patagonia District. The Trench and Mowry mines are passed on the way and the Belmont lies about a mile and a half beyond. The old Mowry works are mass of ruins, excepting the tall brick furnace chimney, which still defies the wasting elements and stands with lofty dignity as a huge dumb monument of former greatness and prosperity. We did not visit the Belmont mine, but understood that the buildings there were of a very substantial character and with few repairs would be again habitable
 The first locations in the immediate vicinity of Washington Camp were made about eighteen months ago, and new locations are frequent The lodges in this camp are very large, and SO far as opened up show ore bodies from thirty to 100 feet in width, without striking walls on either side. It is a question yet whether some of those hills are not immense deposits Of ore capped with lime rock. Wherever holes have been sunk along the claims good ore has been found. The lodges carry almost exclusively smelling ores, which it is believed will work from s3O to $1OO per ton.
 The Washington mine was pur- chased about year ago by Mir. Seven oaks for some San Francisco gentle men, and he has had a very small amount of work done during the year. The ledge is about sixty feet wide and has shaft down fifty feet The pros poet is too good to be allowed 10 lay idle long. Had It not been for the murder of Messrs. Finley and Adams last year the operations under their su- pervision would doubtless have reached considerable proportions ere this. We understand that Mr Arms owns some good claims in this section.
 Messrs. Donovan, Allen and five others have thirteen claims within a mile of Washington camp, which show immense bodies of ore. On the Ohio they are down about fifty feet with a seventy-foot cross-cut all in ore. The Columbia. Cincinnati and Leander are also good claims, but the Ella and Grasshopper are doubtless their largest mines. The Ella has one open cut about seventy feet in length, showing ore all the way, and wherever they have sunk through the lime-cap they have found metal. The GrasShOpper is about the same in character, and no one yet knows how wide the lodges may be. There is abundance of wood all over those hills and sufficient water and we do not think that it will be long before capital will take hold of these great mountains of metal and melt them into a shining Tivultt of bullion Since the discovery of the HerInosa more attention will be given to the Patagonia country and without a doubt great prosperity awaits that section in the immediate future.

THERE is no longer any doubt about there being many veins of silver, with some gold and copper in Maine Mir. Allis, of Tucson, has inst received a letter from a friend in the mines there giving details of developments, size and value of veins and interest taken in them. The letter reads just like one written by an intelligent miner in any of odr mining districts The New York and other Eastern journals are giving eredence to the reported extent and yalue of the Maine mines. The ores arc not very high grade, but if they prove to be as rich deep down ss on the surface they will give the world much bullion

ON the l6th San Francisco quota tiOns Of bar silver showed a firm and improving market; Sl1719 per ounce was offered and refused. Half dollars which but short time ago were dull at ? per cent. discount, are now firm at but q. The news from England and Germany is favorable to a con- tinued rise in the price. Germany has for years been large seller of silver, but now sells none The de mand for the English-India business is undiminished, and the product of silver throughout the world is dimin- ishing and has beer for more than a year.
