ranged. believe there are not more
than two or three wooden houses in the
place adobe and stone constitute the
principal building material. Lumber
of all kinds has usually been very cost
ly; often selling from two to three hun
dred dollars per thousand feet. Some
of the houses are covered with shingles,
some with boards, and a number are
thatched. The roofs are generally an
chored with strong wires, frequently
extending down and far into the walls ;
from this fact infer there are powerful
winds here at times. Unionville has
about two hundred and fifty inhabi-
tants, and certainly wears an air of
thrift quite equal to any place of its
size we have seen. There are about
twenty families. The public school has
from twenty-five to thirty pupils, and l

stores are we'll stocked with goods, and
seem to be doing very fair business
Among my old friends have met Mr.. J.

Lynn, Judge Dunn, and others - all
healthy, cheerful and happy. Our COM

MINIS AND MILLS.
The Arizona and Manitowoc mines
are situated on the south side Of Buena
Vista Canon, about mile and a half
south-wes. of the old Pioneer mill.
These mines are owned and worked by
Messrs. Fall and Temple. They were
located in 1862 by parties who either
sold their interests or abandoned them.
The ledge in the Mantowoc is nearly
horizontal, and about l inches in thick
ness. The Arizona is west of the Man
itowoc, about two hundred and fifty feet, |
and is penetrated by a tunnel about
three hundred feet; a shaft from the
tunnel reaches down the ledge about /
eighty feet; the ledge has width along
the tunnel of three feet, which gradually
increases down the shaft to four feet or
more. There has, as yet, been found no
barren quartz in the ledge, and all the
rock is worked as taken from the mine.
The ore has not been worked closely,
but the tailings are carfully saved, and
will be worked over at some future time.
The yield has generally been from sixty
to eighty dollars per ton; it is thought
the tailings will yield as much more.
The ore has been worked at the old Pr
oneer mill, erected by Mr.. Fall and now
owned by an eastern company. Mr..
Fail and Mr.. Temple are erecting fine
ifteen stamp mill, and within twenty Z
lays they expect to have two batteries /
a operation with sufficient force to work

rhe old Pioneer and this new mill,
,nown as the "a Manitowoc & Arizona"
will work the ore from the Arizona and r
ianitowoc mine for the present. The Z
ael used is the sage (Ar.imesia triden- c.
ata) which costs only about oue-half r,
s much wood, which sells here for ten W
ollars per cord. Ct
Mr.. Fall and Mr.. Temple deserve no :.
mall share of credit for their persever-
1g efforts to develop the mines Of this F
egion. Now they have every prospect h
f success. The bullion which they &c
nip regularly now is but the beginning b,
f what they will do towards Fall. d'
