THE "BbRtJ.'
 If any party connected with the BurTo mine ever seriously doubted their immense value, o regarded the enthusiasm of the san?uine al an indication of their ignorance or inezperi- ence, such party may nov set aside all sceptic' ism anI take an unobslructsd view of the grandess reality upon the continent The Barro has proven iiselG or tde researches o1 miaeraIogisis have proven it equal to the most exaggerated representations" as a San Fran cisco scapt;c has been pleased to term certain reports.
 10 obtain a satisfactory view of this vast treasure it is not necessary that the tourist ex- tend hs views Heyond the "Blrro' proper-the name "Blrro" which was given to the original discovery having gradually extended over the entire district Here enough may be seen to satisfy the greatest doubter, Upon @ net-wor4 ofquartz lodges, presented to view wbichsoever way tue eye may turn, scores of men at work sinking shafts give coloriug of reality to the enterprise. Ali is hustle and animation, with a feeling of confidence prevailing the mass.
 lir Power, superintendent of the Harpendo ing Mining Company has set.some 40 men to work upou the conpanys claims parties from New Mexico as also from Tucson are cons mencing operations in good earnest
 But the whole wealth of what are generally known as the Burro Mines is not confined to this great central point. The surrounding country, throughout a radius of 60 miles, has been prospected and found to contain mineral wealth to an extent almost incredible. Promi- nent among those outside discoveries gre the mines located by D. Q. McCarthy, Esq, of San Francisco and Mr, Ferguson of Tucson. A return from an assay office in New York, now in the possession of Mr Brady at this place, slows yield from the latter mine of 6l, 200 to the ton.
 Some time must necessarily elapse before these more isolated deposits may be rendered available. Their situation, removed from any immediate source Of protection from Indian ravages, viii be likely to deter parties from undertaking their development nDtil such time as population sufficiently strong to offer def- ance to tLe Indian throughout the entire dis trict. shall have been acquired. No such peril however attends the developments cf the "Ba7ro" proper, sinaied at Bolston city where the population Is somewhat in excess of three hundred men, inc great majority of whom gre old miners and frontiersmeu. who never yet learned to appreciate danger or to fee before the terrors of an Indian invasion This i'm muuily from danger in the immediate reieh- borhood of Rost1n, viii have the effect of swelling the popalation at that particular point until sufficient surplus snail have accumu- lated to flood the entire district when the sounds ol the blast and drill will awaken the echoes of crag sad Peak-heret6fore strangers to c'aer sounds than the tumuLt of the storm and tla ~hoop.ng O. contending savages. As regards the intentions of all parties in. crested, to engage in the work Of opening up ', bese mines, there is no longer any room for a S jingle doubt As We have shown above, the : york is already progressing ou & large scale nd jg Iging from present appearances, we can ot think tho opinion approaches extravaganza then va state that six months hence this dis ,ict wlll probably give employment to more lan thousand men, and furnish capital to tue development Of mines in other ectioas of tha Territory.
