MINING INTELLIGENCE,
Glad Tidings from the Bradshaw Min. frr,.. ing District
Immense Yield of Gold
No Excitement but the watohword is Eureka" and tho Cry is "On
 to the Bradshaw"

Reader, we are not excited, but our sarings havn undergone great change since last we ad. uicsseC you, coisequent upon the thought that VIC will soon have lots of "change" in our pockets. Heretofore, we have talked mildly and gently of the great mineral wealth stored in the mountains of Central Arizona, but we now feel like footing our horn sufficiently loud to attract the attention of the civilized world, for our min CTS have found great thing, big thing. This thing" is no more nor less than ihe richest gold mine in the world, which has been named the Del Pnsco,h and Is situate upon the summit ui the Bradshaw Mountain, about thirty miles south cast from Prescott, in district where wood, wa. ter and grass nre cxcecdingiy pic1Hs, and where there arc scores of other lodges almost as rich as the one in questionable "Del Paseo"
 THE GOOD NEWS

Now, when we multiply ll2by lI, we have Inc result, which is in round numbers SI gOI which sum when diu crushed places the yield per ton, at about S29 50 And, if We add 10 this, the gold that was horned and panDcd out by prospectors, iAe yield per ton would Oe more than s3000O Tim, II wc tak, into consideration the fact that the arastra iu which the orc was ground was new and uinl al Inc gold contained in the rock not alnalga mated, h is fair to presume that. by proper treat ment and close working, the Del Pasco can b, made to pay much more than S3OOOD per ton But, we are satisfied with that result and SO ar, the owners of the mine.

Mail Matters.


 The news published by us, last week, is good, if true, and we have every reason to believe that it is. That portion which rcat cd to the increase Of service upon the Pres colt and San Bernardino route, was imparted to us by Messrs Allen & White, stage agents despatched Tuesday last, to California, is proof of the correctness of the news. The only doubt existing here is in regard to the number of mails we are to receive per week, |, from California, and that cannot be cleared up just now. We only know that there is a rumor in circulation here, to the effect that Mr. Grant, the contractor, had been sum moned to Los Angeles to confer with an off, cer of the Department-Gcn.S Smith, we be- lieve-about making arrangements for carry ing tri-weckly mail. With this and sery- ice upon the old Albuquerque route, our facilities for communicating with California and the East will be as good AS could reason ably be expected. While the local routes established, are not all that could be desired, they will be of incalculable service to our Pe'pIe. ibe DtpATlmeDt bnOniu now go few steps farther, and extend the Prescott and Williamson Valley route to Hardyyille : or Mohaye City, on the Colorado river, and thereby give the soldiers and citizens living upon the route, the benefit of mail facilities lt rs all rislt anu proper to supply the peo. i pie of Williamson Valley with mail facilities, but i; is rank injustice to deprive those of 1 Camps HuaipIi and Mohave, llardyyille, Mo have City and the small settlements along the road, of equal facilities. Our fellow cit ! izens of Walnut Grove, will, of course. feel ! highly elated at the prospect of soon again being enabled To communicate with other people and places, without having to carry their own mail back and forth 10 Prescott or ' Wiekenburg-th nearest postoffices. With service from Prescott; to Maricopa Wells ria Camp McDoweli and Phoenix, the people of Arizona would be well fixed in Postal Mat ters, and the Territory could not kelp but prosper.

Lower California.

The San Francisco papers of the 23d ult,, contain accounts of expeditions that were be- ing fitted out, inf that city, under the aus pices of the Lower California Company, for tue survey and colonization of their lands in Lower California and Sonora. The Company is composed of prominent and wealthy men, who are determined upon opening up the dormant resources of the semi-tropical coun- try south and west of our Territory, and we hope they will soon succeed in doing so, as this Territory will be benefited thereby.
 Since placing the foregoing in type, word has reached us, by mail, that the expeditions had started, under 5aYorable cfrcSmstsnces.

A Bilk.

It now transpires that the I)urro mines of 4 .Arizonia Arizonal are a blk of the purest water. Tho eStravagant reports of their richness were gotten up in the interest of a sharp San Francisco speculator. IL seems that in this instance there was something in a -Burro-Jackass, and that those who we're carried away by their reputed fabulous wealth are jaekass miners.
 We have few remarks to make upon the above, which we take from the editorial col umus of the Humboldt (Nevada) Register. First, The mines in question are neither of, nor in Arizona. Second, While some uf them may, and Will, undoubtedly prove worthless, we have too much faith in the knowledge, honesty and integrity of the several experi. enced gentlemen who have examined and written favorably Of them, to believe the as sertions of our sage-brush contemporary that they "are blk of the purest water, and that "those who were carried away by their reputed fabulous wealth are jackas miners"
