Ing FT ir2ip sh eSt,DAl4n ca aip ot the EugeDie lode, h B!g Dug District L. .. Gray, one of tbe owners of mill and mine. arrived in Prescott, Thursday evening last, with . bar Of gold worth between sl,s0O and sl.9OO. the proceeds of about eighty tons of ore. The little mill was less than nine days crushing this ore and producing tue above amount of gold. The mine was looking splendid. Mr. Gray is highly pleased. He thinks the result of next run will be much better. us bis Superintendent, Mr. Nc Cartby, bad adopted means whereby more gold will be saved. itis the opinion of Messrs. Gray and Mccarthy that enough free gold is now lost, per day, to defray the expenses of running the mill. The success of the Big Bug operation which Is nowa settled fact-has inspired every. body hereabouts with fresh hope and courage.
 "PISE GROVE DISTRICT"
 A couple of weeks ago, some excitement was created by the reported discovery of rich placer diggings near the Bradshaw mountain, and many miners went out there, who, upon examination, found that the diggings were too poor to pay. Some of them then returned to Prescott 0th- ers--some fifteen or sixteen in number-kepi on prospecting and were soon after rewarded for their labors in sinking holes and climbing steep mountains by finding what, in tbe opinion of many, is the richest gold bearing qsarti lode he Pacifc slope This ledge Is near the summit of the Bradshaw mountain. in a thickly timbered aud well watered region. It has been traced distance of 5000 feet, and upwards of twenty claims have been located upon it. Tho rock Is partly decomposed, and the gold ia, of course. free. We have seen several prospects that were banned out of this ledge, and must say that they were big. Some of this gold vas coarse. IL Is thought that 1t will yield from s20O 10 $500 per ton ;a arss,ras. ba. ,hi. !s .ll speculation. How ever, we will soon know how much it will pay. as aras,ras are being erected to test the matter. Other lodes were found, but of course, none as | rich the one above spoken Of. Placer mines were also struck, which. said miners have assured us. will pay 10 work We need scarcely say ihs; those who own interests in Pine Grove District | feel that they are in luck. We are DO; one Of them.
 WALKERS DISTRICT.
 The miners of this old district arc almost tired waiting asd praying for water, The same Is the case in Hassayampa District The Sterling mill and Charley Taylor's arastras are in running or f nothing new from wickenburg and Walnut Grove Districts. The placer miners of Lower Lynx creek are bringing in considerable gold, for which our merchants pay SIS per ounce.
