The Old Mines.
No Excitement at All.

On Tuesday last, Messrs. C. c. Bean, G. W. Bowers, II. E. Summers l. s. Fried and II. A. Bigeow, len Prescott we'll mounted and armed, for the mines. We went by Moves & Curtis saw. mill where we found Mr. Curtis jolly as need be, and business brisk. The mill is turning of lumber rapidly, and the piles stacked up in the yards look as though there would be nc lack of lumber for building purposes this fall. At 5 o'clock r. M. we made q short stop at Davis & Taylor's cabin, at the head of the Hassayampa. Neither of the proprctors were at home, but there we found earuped for the night party that hft Prescott in the morning en route forthe Bradshaw mines, consisting of Mcssrs. Knott, Baiu, Alex. nnder, Cook and Jackson. Also Messrs Groom and Dcnison, who had been waiting at the camp for some days the arrival Of others. Several Of the party were in Davis potato pnich digging and sacking potatoes to carry to the mines with them, and better potatoes are not to be found in this country than they raise on that ranch, 300 feet above Prescott, almost on top of tLe noun. tains. Mcssrs. D. X T. have several acres Of tic "bulbs growing and nearly ripe which will be readily sold 10 the miners at good pgces. De. clining kind invitation to snppcr, we went on past the Brandon lodc--where Mir Bean has had some fine looking rock recently taken out crossed the divide" between the lassayampa and Lynx creeks mile or SO above Davis ranch. and commenced descending Lynx creek About mile aud half from the divide We came to the Eureka mlll-now the property Of Mr. Bean. The steam whistlc which blew at six for supper and tbc clatter of the ten stamps which sounded ln our cara long before ,bc mill was visible, gave token of mining activity which was realized as we approached the mill. Mr. Atclhson, well known in Nevada and other mining regions Uncle Johu is experimenting operations at the Eureka for Mir. bcan, who has employed In and around the mill @s men, eating wood, mining, hauling wood and ore, rte. Aftcf h good supper and a nights rest, went or, foot to Inc mines in thc iUsmedate vicinity of the mill visiting the Box Elder Vernon, Tlo Tie Pine Mountain and Poin ter. Mir. Bean has men ai work getting orc from the Tic.Tie, the Eureka--or Q vein which crosses or runs Into that lode--aud from an extension Of the Pointer; and ihc ore from each looks wei and prospects well alec. As the intention ls ouly 10 work the ores for free gold, the veins are being
 worked only from the surface to q depth of E or IS feei, as ai hat point uii the Lynx creek ores change 10 sulphurcis The Tie-Tie al the depth oi l5 feet is four feet wide, the ore much dccom- posed, and of fine quality. The Pointer Is about three feet wide where Mir. Bean Is opening it, and the ore looks well as any we ever saw from the sha1s Oa the original location. Considerable trouble has been experienced in getting the mill into good running order, but Uncle John thinks be has all right, and wiH BHie run of two weeks ca tie ores mentioned, an experiment, which we hope ~ill be paying one, No other mines oz LynH creek are now being worked than ihosc Mr B--sn Is Fsospee,mg, except the Vernon ! where sc found Chris.
