Editor Mixer: During thu past ten days we have been having rains occasionally. The mountains and valleys begin to present a fresh, green appearance, and the hearts of men were made glad by the refreshing show ers. Your humble servant caught conside rable rain-water for purposes of ablution. Mr. Davis is running the Melbourn mill at Mineral Park, with success. There is plenty of ore at the mill dumps and here in sacks to keep it steadily at work for some nme to come, anu besides this ore ' there is a large quantity of tailings which the proprietor intends marking over. -The starting up of this mill has encouraged the miners in this section, and they have gone to work taking out quartz to keep things lively. Mr. Canfield has been visiting the diiler ent camps of Wallapai, and is seeking a suitable place to erect n quartz-mill. It is thought he will select the mill-site at Stock ton or in the vicinity of the "03" mine two miles distant from Cerbat. Mr. Abe ttateman and Col. F. T. Gilbert passed through here, just from the McCrack in mines, en route for San Francisco. They report that the Senator and Atlanta mines are looking better than ever.

There is no greater nor more truly inde pendent paper in the country than the Chi cago Tribune. Here is what it has to say of the so-called "Peoples' Independent" plat form of California: ''Out of mercy to our readers we con dense the platform of the Independent partv of California into a column or so, thus sub tracting about three-fourths of its mass of worthless verbage. As we published it, it was about a column too long. A judicious abstrcct of it would read about as follows: JJesolved, The State Government of Ciali fornia should play the part of a Great Father. ihis remarkable power, when the Inde pendents get control of it, is to be used to tixthe price of gas in San Francisco, "the price of a supply of water for irrigation everywhere in the State, the price of rail road riding and freight sending, etc. (The reader will please to supply several dozen "etes." in order to make sure of comprehend ing the work Of price fixing which the Inde pendent organization h-s pledged its State government to undertake.) The platform does not state in precise words, wo believe, that it is the duty of the "State" to -range the charges of Chinese washermen for doing up a shirt, a collar, a cufl and a sock, but this great political reform is doubtless re served for the next campaign. What we have given is about the sum and substance or the "pompous words and thundering sound" of the Independent platfam. The more the peop'e look at it, the more their JEWELL L. It street.

Omniscience itself to say notlnng oi Uinipotencc is thrown in the shade by the programme of these per sons, Independent alike in party, spirit, and common sense. The policy outlined in their platform is one which the Northwest has tried and found wanting. It rests upon the funda mentally false assumption that the oflicc holders can be relied upon to manage vat pecuniary interests in an unselfish, economi cal nnd honest way. This they could n-it do if they wou!d, and would not if they could. Experience has proved this in every country, from the Roman Empire to the American republic. The latter experience of the Northwest has proved it. The Gran gers, after some political elmrts, only the indirect and unintended efl'ects of which were good, have gradually limited them selves, more and more, to the improving their condition by mental, moral and social in contradetinction to political means. In proportion as they have done thi?, they have thriven. Americans scarcely appreciate as yet how vast the work they have thus ac complished has been. Their political fail ures have momentarily obscured their mate rial successes. The latter have attracted great attention abroad. The profunndest European observer of American affairs, Pro fessor Von Hoist, of the University of Frei burg, whose " I ertntsunq Demokratie tn den Vtreiniqten Staatoi" ranks with Hallam's and May's constitutional histories of England, is now preparing a monograph on tho Grange movement, which may be relied upon to give a lair picture ot the astonishing lm provemcnt in the well being of the Amen can farmer, due to the non-political efforts of the Patrons of Husbandry. Hut where this order has tried to use State Govern ments as instruments, it has tailed. Ihe attempt has been delimteiy abandoned m Ohio and Minnesota, and practically so m Illinois and Wisconsin. It is plainly on the decline in Iowa. The fever from which they have recovered has now broken out in California, and rages there at present. It is true that California is peculiarly a State of monopolies, and that it his been grievously oppiessed by monopolies. But the way out of this trouble is by competition, and of supply and demand, and not State interference. To take the case of railroads : There is far more than enough unemployed capital in tho country to build another transcontinental railroad whenever t will pay, and such railroad is now being constructed by private enterprise, very nearly on the line which Tom Scott and Southern Democrats wanted to cover with money wrung from tho public by grinding taxation, estate supervision should not go bevond the old common law doctrine that a common carrier can charge only reasonable rates. When it exceeds this it does far more harm than good. Trce to the Character. "I sav, girls," aid a little blue-eyed, flaxen-haired bov on Second street yesterday, 11 let me take your iyDIAA' TRIBES OF ARIZOXA. Selections from the journal of a Clerk at Headquarters, Department of Arizona : Apaches and Apache-Moi'ayes Dress, Food, etc. The men wear a breech-cloth ot cotton stufl, moccasins of buckskin, and usually a band or turban about tbe brows to hold back the hair. Squaws wearan apron of fringed buckskin and moccasins. The Apaches, both male and female, make shirts of cotton, similar to those worn by Chinese, ornamented at the shoulder and wrist and body gathered at the waist with short plait ed skirt, inside scam of s'ecve and sidc-.eam of body left open for about six inches from the arm-pit. Since li7ing on the Reserva tion most of the Indians have adopted the Americcn style of dress, or a modification of it. They rctairftnelr fashion of shirts, how ever, and to a great extent the moccasins. The Apache-Mojaves wear moccasins with round toes, the Apaches with pointed toes, with about an inch of the rawhide sole stand ing verticallj in front of the toe, to prevent bruises from stumbling. Tho breech-cloth is a long strap of cotton or calico passed be tween the legs, and both before and behind through a strap drawn about tbe waist, tho nds reach near the ground and are usually ornamented at tho corners with shreds of red tlannel, these trailing ends are utilized for the transportation of small articles tied in the corners ; no hats are worn unless pro cured from the whites. During the winter months the only vege table food procurable is mescal ( Agua Ameri cano), consequently they always go into winter-quarters on ground whero the plant is abundant. Each camp usually has but one pit for roasting the heads ; each family col lects as many heads as they desire to prepare and pile them up near the pit; when all tho families have completed their collections, a large fire is built and covered with stones about four inches in diameter. This is left to burn until the succeeding day ; when the stones arc found to be red-hot they are raked away and the heads arranged regularly upon the heated ground, grass being placed be tween the piles of different families, and also a close layer over the top. The stones are then raked over the whole and the kiln com pleted by a layer of moist earth ; this "kiln is allojred to rest for three days, being watch ed meanwhile to prevent the fire breaking out. The heads arc then taken out, tho leaves cut apart and beaten with stones into pulp, flattened into layers and placed on bushes to dry. Mescal is also the principal food during the remainder of the year. From May 15th to July 15th various grass seeds are gathered in considerable quantities. They are ground with stones, made into dough with water, rolled into balls, and when dry the balls are carried on the person and occassonal'y nibbled. From June 15th to July loth the fruit of the giant cactus is gathered. From July 15th to August 3lst acorns nre gathered, after which the prickly pear and the fruit of the Spanish bayonet. There are also several roots and herbs gath ered and eaten boiled. The country affords many berries and small nuts which are gath ered in the fall, aud grapes arc used to pro vent scurvy. All animals, whether carnive rous or otherwise, aro killed and eaten, tho game held in the highest estimation being a large rat which tpakes its nest in the Spanish bayonet ; u species of Army-worm is also con sidered fine. Ah a rule they do not cat fish, considering them unclean. The Apaches make nn intoxicating beverage called "Tiz," by breaking and par-boiling corn and fer menting the result. This liquor Is not strong, and large quantities are necessary for intoxication. me .Apaciic-iMojaves maKO no stimulants. Thc3e Indians lay up for fu ture use only such supplies as they mar have on hand when breaking cmn, and then only seeds can bo kept: theso aro placed in a cache and covered over with dead grass and cactus for concealment. Whenever they find themselves with a largo supply of food on hand they immediately in- rate a feast and continue it until tho provisions ara-gone. A Story Told or Rowland Hill. Some one or other had given him a hundred pounds to send to an extremely poor minister ; but, thinking it was too much to send him all at once, ne sent mm live pounds in a icttor. with simply these words in the letter, "Moro to follow." In a few days' time the cood man had another letter by the post, and let ters by the post were raritic3 in those days. hen he opened it there was five pounds with just these words, "And more to follow." A day or two after there came another and still the samo words, "And more to follow." And so it coutinued twenty times, the good candy and we'll all plaj chicken." " Is it man being more and more astounded at these nice ?" enquired half a dozen six-year-olds in letters coming thus by post, with always the shallow a sentiment on the subiect of prayer and the poison injected prevents decomposi as that contained in one of his youthful tion for a long time.
