Too MUCH Inortance cannot be given to the necessity of She erection of re- duction works in this city, and if the ideas of the promoters of the present arrangement be fully carried out, there Is nO reason wIy from fifty thousand to one hundred thou and dollars per month of new wealth should not be set afluat In and around this cIty. The establishment oi plaDt that wIll treat forty tons of ore per day at the actual cost of reduc. ton, with s!igbt margin to cov- er the wear and telr, if hon. estly conducted and the full benefit gwen to the miner, would bring ores from every pint of the compass.

WE do not purpose giving advice to the commander of this department in in hIs management of the campaign against the hostile Indians. but many ideas have been suggested, some of winch seem to possess practical utilit {. For instance the use of bloodhounds in hunting down the Indians would seem 10 be sensible auxiliary. and would re- suit In fKing the locus of hidden bands ID many instances, If nothing else. But there Is another very important aid that could be successfully employed with happy results. IL IS known that the Indians now make forced marches by night and hide in the high mountain ranges by day, looking down from the lofty peaks and watching the movements Of the troops below, with advantage to themselves. They then signal by means of flame and smoke 10 their friends Tn other mountains Rnd thus maintain constant c lm munic Ition with NaNu oNutE. lurse mcuutdln Thuktc are so situated that they afford excellent Views of large scope of country, and n properly trained military sisnal corps. provided with heliog raphic instrumeHt> could signal the exact location anu movements of the whole Dand of In dlans, and the labor of following old trails and being misled by cunning strategy would be avoided.

THE INDIAN SITUATION

THE Indian news from tae front is In- deed alarming. The hostiles seem to te frightfully numerous and painfully ubiquitous, and the official ten have ex- banded into hundreds of fiends. There IS no disgusting the fact that the num- bsrs oi hostiles have been recently aug
 mented by fresh scoessions from the reservation and that they have been
 preparing for months for this occasion ss taey are well proTided with arms
 and ammunition and are fully equipped for their rad. From the new tactics
 displayed by the Indians, and the sey-
 eral new features of thelr warfare, there
 !s 10 doubt but those now upon the
 rad are composed largely of former scouts, who have learned many useful
 things while in government employ
 which they now use effectively to thelr ;o their own advantage. They are no;
 slow to grasp Ideas, especially those ger
 tsinIng to the science of war, and the
 knowledge they have acquired ss scouts
 now serves to nerve their arm to broad er aggressions, and they have begun at-
 lacks upon small settlements with full
 confidence that their paralyziDg
 presence will shield them from momen-
 tsry harm while they expedItIousiy

 This l. indeed a new and dangerous de-
 psrture from prevIouS tactics and It
 suggests the possibility of their effeciual
 interference with the telegraph and rail-
 road lines. They are suspected of hay

 one occasion. but up to thls time they
 have not Interfered with the Railroads.
 Tue recent attack on the section h .nds

We do not wish to Increase the already unreasonable alarm nor spread greater consteruatIo than now already exists, but the fact Is patent to
 al tha. the situation is one of Inteusa gravity and it demands the utmost har- muny ot action to com bat It success
 fully. The military arm must be sup lemented in Its every acton by the aid nd cooperation of every civil org iniza- ton and individual possible. and all other considerations be laid aside for the one purpose of the extermina,ion of the hostiles. This IS the object upon which all our energies should focus, and l any means that will acc ,mplish the de | sired result will be welcomed by every resident of the Territory. The cri- l SIS is at hand when the final l decision must be made and the ft- | test survive.
