 Last week, Mir Reed worked. in a Moore pan. four tons of tailingS of Sterling rock, ont of which he got sll0, or &3j to ,hc ton. When we inform our readers that these tailinps had pre. viously been teorI-cd Or mdnipuirfed fo,fr fines they will no doubt, be surprised al the large amount Of gold extracted from them by Mr. Reed. With horn-spoon scarcely a color could be got ont of them, and old and expert prospcc- tors prophcsed that he would not get enough money out of them to pay for sharpening a pick. or course, he is well pleased and SO is every body else. He is now taking rock out of the ledge, and is confident Of entire success in work ing it. We have not the space, this week. 10 give description Of thc manner in which he treats the sulphurets, but we can say that his mode is very simple, requires no chemicals. and works like charm The successful working of this. thc richest sulphurct lode yet discovered ou the continent will stimulate business in thi. section. put lote Of bullion in circulation bnild many a house and cause many ranch to be cultivated. May God prosper Mir Reed in his laudable un- dcrtaking!
 A party of placer miners, who have been to work in the lIassayampa for some time past struck recently, pay-dirt, out of which they picked pieces of gold weighing from one bit to a dollar. We are informed that the dirt in which they found so much gold is a sort of mushy loam On account of the great amount of water in tho creek, they were forced 10 quit work for few days, but, we understand they are nov at il again, aul finding lots of the precious stuff
 The plumoso lode. the finding of which, in the bed or the Hassayampa, we mentioned in pre- vious issue. is still being worked. The Cobra dians Who found it are engaged in taking tine rock out and working it., and the results obtained by them arc really hattcring and pleasing. WC arc reliably informed that every ounce of meta taken out by them is worth s. and it takes bu q short time for them to get an ounce too. They understand, thoroughly, how to work the rock and are as "happy and content as Swimley' boarlers.r

They have run an open cut across the ledge a distance of eleven feet and haze not yet reached the hanging wall Abou, fourteen tons of good pay rock were oui when Mir. Hammond left. He came to town for a team to haul it to Moves & Curtiss mill, to haze it worked He is confident that some of the rock will yield sloo to the ton.
