SPEAKING of the increased interest in legitimate mining, the Daily Indicator of New York says:
 Capital invested in good mining prop critics has the same encouragement for receiving early, ample and regular re- turns as when placed in other business channels, provided 1t be made lntelll- gently and with ordinary prudence and foresight. It Is no longer deemed more hazardous to work a gold or silver mine than to engage in the less profitable business of farming; both with !udlclUus management, are sure to bring profitable retuIns. The old and crude methods formerly resOrted to have been entirely superseded by the modern appliances that have been suggested by experence and science; and capital, m what was once considered a mere venture, IS daily receiving the assurance of successful results.
 It has been said by some Of our CO., temporaries that there were only forty dividend-paying mines Ill the country, entirely ignoring the fact that there are thousands throughout the mining dis tricts worked by individual enterprise from which We near nothing, save what s-s learn Gleltally of the properties o- tbeir 0g-asr While the mining lsrkets. both re and at San Francis .co. show ded improvement in prices. the transactions also show grad ual and marked increase in volume; more confidence Is manifested, and the feeling is prevalent that the advance Is perma- nent. The advlces from the mines show that the output of ore Is greater than ever before, and the development of new ore bodies Is steadily improving Fluc- tuations in various stocks is but to be expected, and the advance or fall m price is no just criterion in many cases as to the true value of the properties represented.

 The ex-Senator is one Of the best or ganizers in the country and not alone his political engineering but also his star route operations and land opera tions in New Mexico. demonstrate his wonderful capacity for scheming and manipulating great enterprises. Were his operations always within the bounds of the law he might be termed success ful, but he is evidently a faiiure The latest exposure in hls case comes from the grand Jury of the United States dis trict court Of New Mexico. which has made a lengthy report to Chief Justice L. Bradford Prince as to fraudulent en- tries in homestead and pre-emption claims in Colfax and Mora counties, in that Territory. The grand jury describes the modus operandi as follows: The party or parties in crested in getting hold Of a hundred or thousand acres Of well-watered land along some stream, employs some deputy surveyor, attorney CT agent, who obtained the necessary blanks from the land office, and fills these ont with the number of the town ship and range Ple,4odsly obtained ircm the deputy surveyor. He then has them signed and tue form of an oath gone through with before the probate judge of the county, generally Mexican who can neither read nor write. Frequently the names of men long dead, or who have never lived upon the land in ques- tion are used Blank deeds are prepared at the time, and when the applications have passed the register of the land office and are approved at Washington, and patents have been obtained, these blank deeds are filled out and used. The grand jury stated that only lack of time prevented them from finding indict- ments and urged upon the government prompt action in the case. It is well understood that the jury especially re- ferred to ex-Senator Dorsey, whose fine cattle ranch of fifteen thousand acres is said to have been obtained in this manner.

THE Philadelphia Times suggests that it is time for the government to take the Apsches and their allies on the Mexican border vigorously in hand. During the last six months or more, reports of out rages in that section have been frequent While the opposing troops there have been worked day and night, and while they are ably led, it Is evident that the savages, born riders as they are, may elude the pursuers for an indefinite pe- riod, striking occasionally some cruel blow at the defenseless citizens. Why not send the soldiers hitherto engaged in watching Sitting Bull from the North west to the Southwest? They are not now employed, and their officers have shown themselves to be skilled in deal ing with the enemy of the plains. They have profted by experience, and their services in New Mexico might put a stop to the shocking warfare on the border.

In the future no such thing will happen.

Our friend W. A. B. Berry, who keeps a store at the tunnel, arrived in town this morning, and gives us the partlcu- lars of a terrible accident which took place at the tunnel, Simms' Headquar- ters Camp, on the morning of the 25th of August, which sent six men into eternity in the twinkling of an eve, the wounding of four very seriously and one slightly.
 It appears that on the face of the tun- mel the rock has seams, into winch large quantities of powder Is poured, set of, and hundreds of tons of rock sent whIrl- ing into the air at one blast On the morning in question the wOrkmen found one of these crevices and were prepar- ing to make double strike" by filling the same with powder, aI.d when they had two kegs and a half emptied into the said seam or crevice, and were tamp- ing the same with an iron or steel bar instead of the regular copper tamping stick, the powder was ignited, and SIX men of eleven present were sent to meet their maker, without warning or know ing what hurt them. Four are danger ously wounded. and may die, while one received but slight injuries. The whole thing seems to have been carelessness on the part of the workmel, as NIT Berry informs us that copper tamping sticks had been furnished the rockmen working in the tunnel Our informant who left soon after the accident, was un- able to learn the names of the persons ! killed or wounded. Three of the killed he did learn recently went out to work in the tunnel from Prescott Prescott ' Miner.

THE New York World has Senator Pendleton in training for the Democratic Presidential nomination in 1884 Itspeaks of "Pendleton and Reform" In 1876 1t was "Tilden and Reform" The coupling is as appropriate in one instance as the other. There IS no more in Pendleton's political career to lead the people to ex- pect reform from Iim than from Tllden. Pendleton's present move ID favor of civil service reform is nothing but clap trap" and is an indication that he still retains the Presidential fever. The only hopeful sign about the matter is that it indicates that the old school pol iticians are beginning to think that the people want some change in the present appointing system They pay court to public sentiment by proposing measures to correct present abuses. When the people become in earnest about the mat ter then some practical measure will be the result and not Hash promises calcu- lated to catch votes.

THE vICs-PaEsIoaNg.

In the first days of tle great sorrow through which the nation IS passing, ow- ing to the attempted assassination of the President, the public was much incensed against Vice-President Arthur and m fact all of Mr. Conklings friends, as it was at once assumed that in the event of the fatal termination of the wound there would be a complete revolution and Conkling would become the power be- hind the throne. Since then, however, public sentiment has changed somewhat towards the Vice-Presideni and he Is re- ceiving fairer treatment at the hands of the press. We have no doubt that great injustice has been done Mr. Arthur in most of the criticisms made, but 1t was owing to the intense feeling then exist ing. The New York Commercial Adver- tiser, which Is supposed to speak by the card, gives the following prognostication as to Mir. Arthur's probable policy in the event of his succession to tine Presidency:
 If 1t should be the will of the AL  mighty that the duties of the Pres idential office should devolve on the Vice-President, those who know General Arthur most intimately feel confident that his Administration would be free from revenges, intrigues, and persecu- tion. Mir. Blaine would receive all the consideration to which his ability and his position in the party entitle him, and the earnest desire of the Nice-Pres- ident, 1t is believed, would be to carry out. as far as possible, the known per sonal wishes of his predecessor In this policy he would no doubt be strengthen cd by the support of Roscoe Conklng. The mahgnity of partisanship has ex- hausted itself n misrepresenting Mir. Conkling. and in manufacturing false hoods in regard to his actions and his words. No public man has ever been more vilely slandered and more foully abused. Yet he has from first to last remained an earnest steadfast Repub- l:can, incorruptible in public life, sincere in his friendship, and silent, except on great occasions, on the subject of his enmities
 If the Advertiser is correct in its predictions the public will be satisfied.

THE announcement that the Bank of England may return to the purchase of silver bullion, which it abandoned in 1853, is an evidence of the increasing favor in which the metal is held there Alta California.
 It Is an indication of the great amount of its gold reserve which has been drawn out for shipment to this country in pay ment of the balance of trade, and its fear, if it still continues, that bimetalic system may become a necessity. At no period in the history of this country was business so nearly upon a specie basis as now. There is none of that credit in- hation of a decade ago, and there IS ht- tie occasion to apprehend any great dis asters from the large enterprises which are being undertaken. In fact, then, there was nothing back of them but a long line of credits resting upon a paper currency; now they have back of them the coin of the realm, and more Of 1t than ever before.

AMONG the passengers by the steamer Grsnda which arrived in San Francisco last Saturday was Hon. L. MOntufar, a special envoy of President Barrios and the Republic of Guatemala, to convey to Washington a message of sympathy and cOndolenee for President Garfield,
 THE New York Posts Washing ,n correspondent says the police have just arrested another Crank" at the White House gate, who was poor colOred man, manifestly bent upon killing every man who was not Garfield man. He had a large tin can into which he proposed placing their heads.

TEXAS, after furnishing a Governor who refused to cooperate in the project of a national thanksgiving in case the President got well, now furnishes an ex- Confederate who. in a public speech at a Confederate reunion, said that he was not sorry Garfield was shot, and that he was ready to '.kill more Yankees Texas may be moving in advance of other Southern States in the establishment of schools, but it has long way to go be- fore it reaches civilization.-LD Denver Re publican.
 That is hardly fair on the State of Texas. We are satisfied that vast ma- jority of the people of the State are not in sympathy with the Governors brutal refusal to join in the celebration of Gar fields recovery, or with the mad expres- sion of the ex-Confederate who was not sorry Garfield was shot. Those must be isolated cases, and they cannot represent the great mass of the people.
