Dr. Theo B. Comstock, Director of the Arizona School of Mines. contrib utes an able article, the first of . series, to the Engineering and Mining Journal of Feb, 3d, on Arizona mines. It treats largely on the exhaustion of the free milling surface ores, and of tho primi- five processes which have grown obso- lete with the decline of surface mining.
 The writer, whose knowledge of geological formations and tests of ores from many districts in the Territory, eutitle his opin ons to weight, strongly opposes the widespread belief that Ari- zona mines are shallow and rich only above the water level, He contends that the careful consideration of numer- ons mines, in the records of shatts and drifts as they stand, affords proof con elusive that the surface conditions are almsst invariably results of secondary action upon deeper seated ore bodies, and what is more to the point, the deeper seated ore bodies DO EXIST aud are vulnerable to attacks of skilled op- orators Owing to tho ease of extract ing rich surface deposits, it has become a habit to seek similar deposits, and many veins which in other regions would be regarded as workable have been abandoned as soon as non-miling ores have been reached and the neces- sity of pumping has become evident.
 Arizona has abundant stores of silver orc readily accessible, and in large part associated with lead. Heretofore no- table percentage of our gold product has come from the same sources, and the free milling aud snlphmeted gold ores have been practically neglected. It has been marvellous to me, says Dr, Constock, that the extensive resource, of this character which We possess have not been further developed
 The fact is mining in Arizona is in a transitory state, and will require the dissemination of more exact knowledge among investors as to our mineral re. sources, to induea the investment oI capital necessary to prosecution oi deep mining and the introduction oi modern methods of reduction Thi. development must of necessity be o. slow growth and limited in area unti the Territory is better provided witl rail transportation

 During the memorable engagement in 1864, the Alabama was several times struck by shot from an eleyen.inch gun, which the Kearsarge carried. The Alabama, which carried no flag, ran up, she white bunting, when the firing ceased Then the Alabama began fir ing again, and steered for neutral waters three miles distant. But she soon received her death wound from the Kearsarge, and sank. The Rear sarge rescued Q number of men from the sinking ship, and at the request of the commander of the Kearsarge, the Deerhound, which had come ont of the harbor of Cherbourg to see the battle, sayed the remainder of those yet alive The Deerhound took Sommes, the commander of the Alabama, and his officers to England, where they were entertained with great pomp and toast ed for their success in destroying United States commerce. At the beginning oi 1864, Confederate cruisers had cap. tured one hundred and ninety three 1 American merchantmen, of which mum. Der sixty were taken by the Alabama. The claims against England, arising ! from the damage iaflioted by the Ala bama and the other Confederate pri | yatoers, Florida and Shenandoah, com. monly known as the Alabama claim, was decided by board of arbitration which met in Geneva, Switzerland Dec 18th, 1871, and awarded damages i to the United States, to the amount o. l Sl5, 500, 900 in gold The award wa based upon the judgment that tho English neutrality laws had been yIo lated upon the ground that those yes sels had been equipped within tht jurisdiction of Great Britain for th, ayowed purpose of preying on the com merce of the United States, and thu it was that the damage inflicted through her conniyance, was fully paic by her.

Tho opinion expressed by Capt Pratt, superintendent of tue Carlisle tPe Indian school, that the present system of Indian education is wrong in principle, is confirmation, from an un- expected source, of long settled con. yietion among Western people who have given the subject serious thought. It is seldom that beneficiary of sys- tenn has the courage and honesty to condemn its faults, and, therefore, Capt. Pratts views deserve more than passing notice, and bis knowledge of Indian character, gaiaed from daily contact with them, extending over a period of years, lends emphusls and crcdibiity to bis conclusions. He con- tends that, tue one reason why the Indians do not become citizens and merged into the hfo Of the nation is that the tribal names and their several languages are perpetaated and sorye to separate thom from the whites, and is of the opinion that all distinctions should be abolished, even the distinc- ton of Indian schools.
 The paternal care of the Govern ment layished upon it's red wards is an iusuperable barrier to their civilization A condition of total dependence re moves every incentive to progress, and the whites similarly placed, would rap. idly detoriate to state of barbarism. It is well enough to instruct the Indian in the 'three R'sn of tine English cur riculum. but his education must be ! carried further, into the practical af- fairs of life. His tribal connections must be severed, and he must be led to 1 depend upon his own resources for sup port, compete with his white neighbor, and learn his living by the sweat oi | his brow.
