they would go back to the reserva- tion. By the terms of the Mexican treaty my operations were limited to the time of the fight. I told the Oh S ricahuas to gather up their women and children without delay. They answered that they could not get them to respond to the signals, the fugitives fearing they might be beset hy our Apache scouts and entrapped by them. They told us they had a white boy who was in the village jumped by our scouts. He had been run off with the squaws who had es- capped, and who had not yet been heard from. They assured me that every one of the band would come in if 1 would remaln a short time. The terms of the treaty embarrassed me greatly, and being in rough region with rations rapidly disappearing. and having between three and four hundred Chirlcahuas to feed, was compelled to return with them.
 We found six Mexican captives, five women and one child, taken by the Chiricahuas early in May. They are now with the command. These women say they were captured near the Mexican Central railroad at a place called Carmen. They further state that when the Chiricahuas dis covered that Apache scouts were in the country they became greatly alarmed and abandoned on the tra1l the 300 head of cattle they were driv- ing away from points in western Chihuahua. These cattle were after wards picked up and driven off by a body of Mexicans, who marched back as rapidly as the condition of the stock and strength of the women would permit. Found the country depopulated for a distance of hun dred miles from the Apache strong hold. The Chiricahuas insist that they have always lived in the Sierra Madres, that even when the nam body went off to the reservation, there were some remaining behind Tn the mountains. Of these now with us there are a number who state that they have never been on res ervation. 1 have strong hopes of be-
 ing able to clear the mountains of the last of them. Of these now with us, are Loco and Mana, so often re- ported killed, and the families of other lromipent chiefs. I saw no Mexican troops, and after leaving the settlements in Arizoua did not see a Mexican other than the cap tives rescned. l have such assurance from the Indians that the white boy will be brought back alive, that 1 am looking for him every day, and will inform you by courier.

The latest telegraphic dispatches contain General Crooks first and only report to headquarters of his proceedings during the past month. The report is just such an one as might have been expected from one who has the reputation Of being the best Indian fighter in the United States army, and fully justifes the confidence reposed in him by the government. The grand success. which has attended his latest cam paign shows that General Clool knows what he is about when he car ries the war into the enemy's camp, and that he is abundantly able to take care of himself and tnose under his command under any and all ci.- cumstances.

The country is one of indescribable roughness. A number of mules lost their footing by slipping from the trail and fell down the precipices and were killed. The stronghold of the Chiricahuas IS in the very heart of the Sierl Madres. Their position was finely watered, in dense growth of timber and plenty of grass. Thry had been camped for miles near the head of the Bavispe, occupying the prominent elevated peaks affordlng fine lookouts for miles and rendering surprise almost impossible, and mak- ing their retreat secure through the rough adjacent canons. Capt. Craw- ford, with the Indian scouts, on Fri day May 18th, surprised the village of Chatto, the chief who led the re- cent rad into Arizona and New Mex. leo. The fight lasted all day and the village was wiped out. The dam age done them cannot be estimated. 4 number of dead bhdies were found but the lndescr:bable roughness of the country prevented any count being made. The entire camp, with the stock and everything belonging to 1t, was captured. 1 learned from the prisoners taken that the Chirica huas are unanimous for peace, and had already two messengers trying to reach San Carlos. On the 17th they began to surrender. They said their people were much frightened by our appearance in their Businesses aud had scattered like quail.

The deputy U. $. Mineral Surveyor of this district has received orders from the General Land office to sur vey eight mining claims near Mineral Park, for which applications for U. s. Patents ave been made.
 This is only beginning, and it will not be long before applications for patents will be made by the hundred We would adv SC our miners to at enc procure 8 atent on their claims for many reasons, the first and foremost of which is that it shuts ont all liti- gatioa in the future. Claims whi, b which are not patented are always subject to litigation. which generally increases in proportion to their value.
 Another good reason, and one that our miners should bear in mind is that mine with a perfect title vii always find readier sale than one to which the title is affected, be it ever so little, and the only perfect t. tie for a mine is a Eat4nt from the United States.
 Procure your patents at once before the usual horde of miae jumpers and and blackmailers who always infest 8 prosperous mining camp make the1r appearance among us. It will cost no more to do it now than 1t will a year hence, and delays are always dangerous.

NIahone Losing his in Tucneo.

Washington, June 1l.-Notwith- standing repeated statements to the contrary, there are good reasons for asserting that Malone is no longer boss of the federal patronage of Vir ginia, Tie postmaster at Norfolk, who is one of Mahone's most valued and valuable workers, will in all prob ability beremoved shortly. Mahone's influence will not be sufficient to save him, if the charges against hIm, pre- ferred by Dezendopf. are sustained. The postmaster general appears to know nothing but the law so far as postoffice patronage in Virginia is concerned. He will not see the law YiQlatsd to please Mahone or to bols- ter up Mahonism. If the Norfolk postmaster is removed, the other postmasters in Virginia whose only qualifications are that they are strik- CTS for Malone, will suffer the same fate.

HOW WATCHES ARE MADE.

In SOLID GOLD WATCH, aside from
the necessary thickness for engraving and
polishing large, proportion of metal is
needed only to stifien and hold the engrav-
ed portions in place, and supply strength.
The surplus gold is actually needless. In
james Boss Patent Gold Watch Cases this
WASTE is saved, and soLID1TY and
STRENGTH increased by simple process,
at one-half the cost. A plate of SOLID
GOLD is soldered on each side of a plate
of hard nickel composition metal, and tho
three are then passed between polished
steel rollers. From this the cases, backs,
centers, bezels, etc, are cut and shaped by
dies and formers. The gold is THICK
enough to admit of all kinds of chasing
engraving and engine turning. These
cases have been worn perfectly smooth by
use without removing the gold. This /;
the only case made under this process. Each
case is accompanied Nth ralid guarantees
signed by the manufacturers rdrranting ii to
rear 20 years. 100000 of these Cases
now carried in the United States and
Canada. Largest and Oldest Factory.

Nj. Regnard, a French savant, has
been lately trying the effect of "blood
diet" on lambs. Three lambs, which
for some unexplained cause had been
abandoned by their mothers, were fed
on powdered blood with the most
gratifying results. The lambs in
creased in size in the most marvellous
fashion, and attained unusual proper
tions for their age. The coats of wool
also became double in thickness. En-
couraged by his success with the lambs,
M. Regnard is now feeding some calves
on blood.
