LAST NIGHTS DISPATCHES.
Congressional Proceedings.

WASHINGTON, March 6.--At 1:45 this afternoon the senate resumed consideration of the bill, and Slater took the floor in its advocacy.
 Senator Brown opposed the Chi nese bill on the grounds of alleged violation of good faith, until 4 o'clock, and then proceeded to gu &. ton the necessity for any restrictive legislation whatever. He said the number of Chinese now in the coun- try is not large, and that Chinese im- migration is decreasing. He there. fore maintained that there is nothing alarming in the present situation, and there was no need to pass any bill on the subject. He also argued that we would imperil our growing commerce with China by violating the spirit of the treaty as provided by this bill. Brown concluded hB re- marks at 4:30, and was followed by Teller of Colorado, who advocated the bill. At the conclusion of Tel. ler's speech, Dawes soug.it the floor, but yielded to a motion to adjourn, which, in view of the knowledge that several other senators also wished to prolong the debate, was agreed to, and the senate, at 4:45, adjourned till tomorrow.

A Mining Matter.

WASHINGTON, March 6.-The com. missi ner of the general lard office has rejected the application for a patent to the Troy Lode mine of Col. orado, for which c. A. Martin was the applicant and Belknap Ord the protestor, on the ground that the or iginal locator was on lien and that the discovery shaft was within paten. ted ground, and because claim had been patented covering the premises midway between the side lines.

International I.itie Match.

At meeting of the board of di. rectors of the National Rife Associa. ton held in New York on March 2, it was an ounced that the interna- tional rife match, for which our rife. men have been preparing a team to send to England, would be shot not st Wimbledon but at Cresdmore, as the Englishmen have decided to send 2 team here. They were unable to guarantee return match in case our team went to England, and SO they consented to take the initiative by sending team here. Gen. Wingate first read a letter from Sir Henry Halford, in which this propo. sition was made. To this 8 favorable reply was sent by cable, and in answer came the following from Sir Henry, dated March 1st:
 "Council willing to send team to Creedmoor this fall, upon terms already arranged"
 The directors at once sent the fol- lowing dispatch to Sir Henry:
 "Terms accepted. Match to be in September"
 It was decided to invite all the states to compete for the honor of having representative in the Amer ican team, and to use all means to get up such a popular interest as will result in the production of team worthy of America. The matter of selecting suitable team was referred to the committee on international rife match. The match will he shot according to the terms published when it was thought that the Ameri- cans would go to Wimbledon. The teams will consist of twelve men.

HE New York Mail and Express

THE New York Mail and Express pays the following handsome tribute to the eulogy of Blaine on the late President Garfeld:
 Now that the eulogy is delivered, and it stands out pure, stately, mo- ble, symmetrical and enduring mon- ument, unmarred by the slightest partisan blemish, every American will rejoice that the estimate of Gar field winch will be read by all the world, is so faithful to fact, so true to the life, so masterly in its careful de- lineations of character and so graphic in its terse and lucid generalizations. Each paragraph is polished stone, which any friend of Garfield might gladly. put among his relics. All it's paragraphs, each in its place in the perfectly proportioned eulogy, make a monument that will outlive, by generations, any stone and mortar memorial that can be raised to the dearest memory cherished by Ameri- can hearts.

learn that Captain Blethen, president of the Commonwealth company, now in San Francisco, is on the road to . complete recovery from his recent dangerous and prolonged illness. The captain has many interests here, and is. generally recognized as true friend and well.wisher of the camp.
 Messrs. Howard and Burt have sunk shaft fifty feet on their valua- ble m n,, the Adriatic, located on the mother ledge, the ore at the bot tom being of high grade and the vein five feet in width. It is their intention to drift east and west from the ffty-foot level and stope out sew eral hundred tons of ore, which will be assorted and taken to the mill and worked. ......
 The stamps in our new quartz mill were set in motion last Monday, and have been running without intermis- sIon ever since. All of the machin- cry moves with precision, and there is nothing needed to render every thing perfect. Ore is being hauled fIom two or three mines, and as many more are being worked for the purpose of supplying the mill, so there need be no fears of its stopping for want of rock.
 Operations on the Juniper mine have been somewhat changed for the present. They have ceased work on the tunnel and commenced taking out ore from the old workings to haul to the mill. The ore is of very rich quality, and eight tons per day are being extracted. After about two or three hundred tons are taken out, work on the tunnel will be re- stunned, when they expect to strike the main ledge at distance of twenty feet from where they left off working. *,;

An Interesting Mining Suit.
Samuel Gates.

An action was commenced in the dis trict court yesterday of more than ordinary interest The name of the action is Patrick Mo ahon vs. John NJ. Collins. The suit is brought by plaintiff to compel Collins to deed him certain interest in what was the Last Chance mine, in Trrquois dis trict before it's relocation on the 1st of January last This is the mlne, we under stand that was bonded yesterday for large sum of money. If the statement of the case given our reporter is maintained in court, then the present owner will have to disgorge share of the bonanza
 The version of the matter as reported is this: McMahen with Collins was the own- CT of the Last Chance mine, upon which little or no work had been done. For some reason or other it is alleged that McMshon was driven from the district and could not, there fore do his assessment work. On the first of January he returned to make relocation ot his interest, when he was again, through threats, obliged to leave his interest, which was relocated by his partner Collins, who has since been work ing it with good results This suit as VIC understand 1t, is brought to compel the defendant to restore to McMahon his in terest as it existed before the relocation. The chief point of interest to the public in this suit is, whether partner in a mining location can relocate a claim in his own name, and thus disfranchise his co-owners of their prlor interest. The decisions of the courts say not. The law there treats mining locators as tenants in common, and no one of them can, by an act of this kind, wrest his co-tenants interest from

We positively decline to glance over any more contributions on spring. The poetry sent in this week is too utterly too for publica- ton.

 Some seventy five tons of very rich ore have been hauled to the mill from the Eldorado mine at Silver Camp, and about one hundred tons from the famous Nina Chlqulta mine. Returns will soon come in from these shipments, and then the boys will put on a larger force.
 From the number of strange faces that greet one on our streets, VIC in. fer that the boom which has been so long looked for and expected by our citizens has commenced in earnest. It is at least evident that nearly all of the strangers are men of wealth and influence, which, without doubt, means business for Dos Cabezss.

Widespread suffering.

MEMPHIS. March 7.-Supplies were sent this afternoon to points on both sides of the river between here and Greenville, Miss. Every day brings intelligence of widespread suffering and the destitute condition of people within the inundated regions. The levee in front of Helena, Ark, is still intact, but the backwater is en- croaching upon the business portion of the city. The levees between Vicksburg and Helena are covered with stock in starving condition. Several rafts with whole families on board have been seen floating down the stream. The situation has be. come desperate in some localities, and it is now only question of pro. visions or early starvation to both human beings and stock.

A Trip to the vekoI and Other Mines.

A Trip to the vekoI and Other Mines. From the Florence Enterprise.
 It is hardly necessary to say that in going to the Vekol you have to pass the railroad at Casa Grande. From there, some twenty and mofe miles over level country, and then some ten miles winding through the hills coming out on the west side of the range in which the mine is To- cated. On my arrival at the mine I was most hospitably received'by the Walker hrothers. These gentlemen also gave me the privilege of exam ming their mine. This 1 did as thor oughly as present developments per- mitted. There has already been large amount of work done on the mine, yet so we'll and fortunately has this work been done that 1t shows a combined plan for the better devel. opment of this grand property. Or the mine there are a number of shafts and drifts, in none of which has the ore been taken out in the drifting or sinking. Every place now open on the Yekol mine shows ore in quanti- ty. The dumps are all crowded with second-elas ore, the frst-class hay ing been sorted and shipped, and every shipment has improved in quantity and value. remained sev- eral days at the mine and from day to day watched its progress, and al- though I do not pretend to be ar ex. pert, yet I do pretend to some prac- tical knowledge of mines and mining and I can safely say that is Takes time to comprehend the magnitude of such deposit as is being opened by these fortunate owners. Yet, at the same time. l would say that in my opinion this mine is yet in its infancy. From the peculiar nature of the formation and general sur roundings we may at any moment be called upon to testify to another of Arizona's grand bonanzas.

 A VERY plrasant social gathering took place last evening at the residence of Miss Hattie Jones, on Tough Nut street.

 GEORGE HEARST used to tell the follow ing good story, which he said was g,'od because there is so much human nature in it: Capt. Nice cham, of Oregon, was one day travelling with party of men when they were surprised and attacked by In dians. Ike captain was mounted on a rather docile, slow going mule that did not at drst rise equal 10 the emergeu y, and his comrades, who were better mounted, ran away from him. The captain shouted after them with all his might, Hold on there, hold on-we can lick hell out of 'em!" to which encouragement no atten- ton was paid. Directly old muley caught a sniff and a sight of the Indians at the same time, when he started of at furious pace that soon left the balance of the party far in the rear, when the captain looked back over his shoulder, shouting at the top of his voice, "Come on, boys, como on-there's thousand of 'em!"

Special Dispatches to the Epitaph,
The situation Desperate.

NEW ORLEANS, March 7.-The
 Pi5ayune Greenville, Miss, special says that .backwater is still rising, and is now from six inches to one
 foot higher than at any previous overflow since the country was first settled, there being very little land above the water from the river front to the hills beyond the Yazoo river. Greenville is secure from any possl- ble overflow. Refugees from the overfowed plantations are congre- gating here, and our resources to feed and shelter them will be severe ly taxed. Bolivar county has very few plantations with even a strip of land above the waters. The loss of stock is almost total. The levees are thronged with negroes and stock whose condition is most deplorable. As its extent becomes known this calamity begins to appal. A tax sui ficient to rebuild the levees above would be almost insupportable, but that is only one item. Laborers have lost their stock and movables and are in a panic-stricSen and .demor- alized condition of dependency with planters and merchants. At first, this blow was regarded as dis aster involving losses and hard times, now it is assuming graver and greater proportions. The most thoughtful as we'll as the most san guine look upon it as disaster greater than has ever before befallen the bottom country. Your cores pondent does not believe that con. fdence or hope can be restored with out national help to rebuild the leyees.
