A Big Strike.

From private letter we learn that the biggest strike ever made in Southern California. occurred at the Cargo Muchacho Mining District this week. It was made by John Peterson and Charles Jackson about four miles from Ogilby Station, on the line of the Southern Pa- cifc Railroad. To use the language of the letter-"They have unearthed 400 feet of quartz ledge, from IS to 30 inches wide, that assays from $100 to 5000 in gold per ton." In addition to the above our correspondent informs us that they have also dug we'll at the foot of the mine and that they have struck good living water sufficient to run 10-stamp mill, which they intend to put up as soon as they can clean up gold enough to build it. For the present they will work the rock with Mexican arrastra. A few days ago they pounded up about 400 pounds of the ore and obtained $95 in gold with which they laid in supplies to run them few weeks, or until they can make a olean-up with the arrsstra.

The school money required by each countywill have to be raised by direct taxa. tion on the people, and per consequence the school apportionment this year for each school district in Yuma county will be small.

The Blythe Estate.

Judge Rearden, of the Superior Court,
 San Francisco, heard the petition of the
 Public Administrator, P. A. Roach, CD
 Monday last, who asked decree to sell
 the property belonging to the sstate of
 the late Thomas H. Blythe, situated in
 Mexico. This property comprises 1,5O0,-
 900 acres of land on the Colorado river, just below the Arizona and California
 line, and was part of Blythe's great
 scheme to coIonize the Colorado valley.
 General Andrade, who is Mexican citi- zen, was associated with Blythe in the en- terprise, and as Blythe as an alien could not own property in Mexico, the title was vested ia Andrade, who still holds it or rather the concession from the Mexican Government upon which it will ultimately issue, but who is anxious to have the property disposed of. The grant was made to Andrade and Blythe for coloniza- ton purposes and upon condition that they should settle certain number of families on the land by January 1, 1885. the terms of settlement being that the Government would present each family with bonus of s100 and the land con- pany would give each family 100 acres Of the land. As no objection was made Judge Rearden signed the decree. This is known here as the Lerdo Colony. and is about 65 miles from Yuma, down the Colorado river.

Crooks Mistake.

The "Rio Grande Republican"
 says that to a gentleman, whom Gen. Crook met on the cars the other day, the General remarked
 that he was aware that he had
 made a terrible mistake in the present Indian campaign. He acknowledged having been
 warned in time that the Indians were out, but says he would not believe it, until he had been iD> formed of the fact the third time. Gen. Crook claims that he had every reason to believe that there was no danger from the Indians. Not until most of their depreda> tions were committed, would he believe that there were any on the war.path. General Crook has made a good record heretofore, and his experience with these devils should have taught him that no reliance could be placed in them. While the General admits his mistake, still that does cer- tainly not excuse his criminal in not Investigating the truth of the reports imme> upon their receipt. His sorrow does not restore the lives of those who were butchered.
