The "Del Pasco" Better than Ever

,,o,cdiatcly on the return of McCrackn tS Co. ,oo, pradsbaw mountain, two weeks since, with (, ooo which they had taken out of the Del Pas on lode as stated in the MINER of August 20, quite ,rrrhcr of our citizens started for that locality. Ten of them returned Tuesday last with reports of inc countryand new dscoveries which created considerable excitement in Prescott and caused ,uudry and divers persons to get out oi town, with their little traps before sundown, bound for ,be Bradshaw mountain F C. Christie, one Of our oldest Pioneers, was one of those who came in on Tuesday, and furnished us with the follow Ing items:
 The section h which these lately discovered mines or odes arc located, is a belt Of taleose slate about onc.half mile in average width, run ming northeast and southwest across Bradshaw mountain The formation outside the slate belt i, similar to that of the Sierra Pricta range, ris porphyritic granite, and contllns many quartz veins of favorable appearance, to which no attcn- ton is given at present The slate belt is pli Of rich quartz veins running parallel with each other and the belt, very much dccomposed These veins vary from Inch 10 three feet on Inc sur hcc. and only the largest have yet been sunk mon to any deptb Mir Christie Is of the orin- ion that the Black Canyon placer mines which have been worked with good results almost con stanily since 1863, receive their gold from this slate belt
 The Del Pasco Company have reached depth of twenty five feet on that vein and fnd the vein gradually widening all the way down aud no d. mnutiou Of the richness of the ore and, as yet, no suiphurcts; tbc quartz was getting moro solid and required blasting their powder having given out the company had commenced work on an. other vein few yards below inc Del Pasoo, and were getting out decymposcd rock of surprising rlehuess-sS sSS had beeu washed out of one pan of tbe rotten vein matter and from sl0 to s20 tn the pan had been frequently obtained. The company In the highest spirits and value their claims at fabulous prices. They were grinding the rock in arastras and expect to realize much better re- suits than on their first run.
 Mr. Christie in company with Messrs, Poland, Faringicn and Postle discovered and located several promising leads, and they in company with Dan HaE and Eve otbers--ten in all--loca- ted ou vein, in sort of basin about mile and half from lbc Del Pasco, about three aud one. aalf feet in width which prospects very regularly Gu hnt gold, and gives excellent surface indlca- 'ions of perruancnce. They think they have struck blg thing and call lt the "New Era" Six or seven of the ten start back today with good outfit Of tools and provisions 10 commence work on their locations passable wagon road al- ready exists 10 the old BGliy Bueno mill on Tur key Greek, and Mir. Hatz says that, with the eX. ceptou of one hill which would require consid orable work, road could easily be made to ihe Foot Of the mountain from the mill. By the road 'o the mill and inc new mines the distance i, about any-dye miles. By trail over the noun Alns, ihe way the travel now goes, the distancS from Prescott is called forty miles.
 The mines arc in tlc midst of a heavy growth of pine tiaiber. and water Is plenty. The New Era eompany tbInk they have a stream large enough to run arastrAs by water power. II thest wRcs hold out aa they have begun, Bradshaw will eeEfse our older quartz miping district, completely. Who esrosf Let 'eaa eo h. Bull, tor BradshaB
