DAN GkANtlcChs Juuc u.-- Ai meet ing of the railroad commissioners to-day General Manager Tovne submitted a statement showing thstthe total amount available for dividends from the receipts of the Central Pacific Railroad company and leased lines in 1882, was over one
 million and a quarter dollars less than in 1881. This, he said, was due partly by renewal and improvements to prop erty. but to a much larger extent its in- creased traffic at lower rates. The Cali lorna freight rates, he maintained. as compared to the Oregon rates from in- terior points to tide water. is from one to two hundred per cent. lower n Cali fornia than in Oregon. The statement went on to show further that the rail road company had carried nearly one hundred and seventy million tons of freight more in 1882 than in 1881, and nearly thirty-eight million passengers were carried per mile in 1882 more than were carried the same distance in 1881. After reading the statement Commis- siOner Foote said he was in favo- of a three-cent rate, If this could not be agreed on he would favor four cents. Humphreys schedule proposes rates of five, six and seven cents per mIle, based CD the traffic and cost of running the roads. Further consideration Of sched- ules was postponed until next morning
 TOMBSTONE. June S.-An Epitaph courier from OposurA to-day brings the information that the Indians seen near Nacori were scouts from Crooks com mand. The Mexican scouts. taken by Crook from Bavispe, have returned and report that he has established his camp where Col Garcia had fight with the Apaches on the 26th of Aprll, l,twenty-fi miles northeast of Nacon, and is sending scouting parties out in all di- rections, but up to the time of the Mex cans leaving, had been unsuccessful in finding Indians. This places Crook near supplies, as cattle range is nearly to hIs camp. Crook has held entirely aloof from the Mexican authorities. If he accompllshes nothing in the next seven- ty days his campaign will end, as ths rainy season is coming on and the mountain streams will become swollen, rendering it impossible for the troops to cross.
