Mining Summary.
BIG BUG DISTRICT.

ten-stamp mill was working away on ore from the Eugenie extension. Messrs. Gray and Boggs started over Wednesday last, and had not returned when our paper went to press, so that it is impossible for us to give the result of last run.
 The placer miners had commenced opera tions in the old Mexican gulch.
 WALKER DISTRICT.
 B. Hussey and H. Bowers reached town Thursday evening last, from visit to Walker and Hassayampa districts. From them we learn that the Eureka ten-stamp mill, after having run short time on ore from the Box Elder, broke a part of its machinery, when it was shut down for repairs. It is, we think, running by this time. Messrs. Herman and Jackson thought they would make snccess. Some good looking ore from the Pine Noun tain, was being hauled to the mill.
 All the srsstras, and the hydraulic claims Of Messrs. Wells, Bowers & Bean were running. Water was getting scarce, and it was not ex- pected that work could be carried on in the hydraulic claims for any great length of time, unless more rain or snow should descend. It was thought that the claims were paying well. Those working with sluices and rock CTS were making fair wages.
 LOWER LYNX CREEK.
 One of the Bashford Mining Company, came over from the iiggings Wednesday last, and informed us that himself and two other men took out in four days, gold dust to the amount of fifty-two dollars; that, too, with very small head of water. Were there plenty of water, the diggings would pay ten dollars day to the hand. Burns & Co., three menSat work on the opposite side of the creek, were making about four dollars day, with rockers. Another Company of five men, were digging ditch to carry water on the Frenchman's Bar" in which they had found large beds of gravel which pros- pected from two to twenty five cents to the pan. They were in a hurry to get water on the bar, believing that they had struck rich diggings. The bar is large one, and in some places quite deep.
 Lower down the creek, opposite the old Mexican Camp, one of the miners at work had taken out piece worth Sf3.75. He got it, with many other coarse pieces, on the bed rock, in the bed of the creek.
 We have not heard from Jackson, Lovejoy & Co.'S hydraulic claims since Sunday last. when Mir Jackson was in town and said the siuices were looking we'll when he eft,-plen- ty of gold being visible.
 Jos. Revoirs, and another man, who are working claim above Jackson & Co.,. in. Lynx creek, took out seven ounces last week. The gold being worth $17.50 the ounce, pla. ces the daily yield at little over ten dollars per day to the hand. Good for Joseph and his partner. The other miners were mak ing fair wages,
 HAssAYAMPA DISTRICT.
 The Sterling mill was started, several days ago, and is still running. Messrs. Wormser and Tompkins visited it Thursday last, and were we'll pleased with its operations. They say it is the easiest running quartz mill in the Terrltory-making scarcely any noise in its movements. Of course cleanup has not yet been made. Owing to the scarcity of water, the Superintendent was unable to keep the mill going but about eight hours in every twenty-four.
 Some thirty or forty placer miners are working in the'Hassayampa and it's tributa- rles, all of whom, we learn, are doing we'll.
 Owing to the breaking of some part of tho machinery used for driving Taylor & Davis arastras, crushing had to be suspended for a couple of days, but, we believe, the "drag rocks are now in motion.
 There is nothing new to relate about mat ters m the other districts, at. least, SO far as we know. Wish the miners of Walnut Grove, Wickenburg, and other districts would let us hear from them once week.
 To sum up, we say in all candor and seri. ousness, that mining matters here look exceed Ingly bright, and that but for our isolated position, and the aecursed redskins. Arizona would stand second to no mining State or Territory.
