 Iu every section of Arizona are range. of mountains, holding veins of rock, containing vast quantities of gold, silver, copper, and olhet met ais. much of which, with the blessing Of God, our people will soon extract. Even now, poverty stricken, icspoiled by war. and heart-stricken al the many black murderous crimes our enemies the Indians have committed upon our friends and fellow pioneers, and few in number, as we arc We add 10 the wealth ot the world, at least e 0OOOO0 per snnum in gold and silver! and the immense sources from which this sum Is extracted, are as yet scarcely tapped. This, too, despite tie great cost of labor, living, machinery, tools, and tue ever necessary precautions which We arc obliged 10 use 10 protect our lives and property from savage Indians. whose forte it is to lay like the tiger in the jungle, and spring upon their un,us- pectng prey, when all the chances for success are in their favor. But, thank God, the end oG tEi, state of things Is approaching. The strong hearts and willing hands of our prospectors have about cut the gordian knot that has tied Us to ruin, dts olation, isolation and Governmental procrastinn. ton. When they struck the rich oilyer aud gold mines of Bradshaw, they struck keynote whose sil'ery sound has been heard by thousands of pco pie in other States and Territories, and who viii be here directly, 10 assist us in developing our mines, and ridding the Territory of hostile Iudi- ans But, enough of this. We beg to be excused from digressng from our headline, and offer, as an excuse for so doing, joy at the near ap- proach of peace and prosperity for our beloved Territory. Now 10 our task.
 While, as we have time and again asserted, al- most every mountain in mountainous Arizona is ribbed with mineral veins, those recently found In Bradshaw mountains, about 35 miles south from Prescott; 20 from Walnut Grove 40 from Wickenburg, and 45 from Phrnix in region of country we'll supplied with timber. water and grsss, arc the most available fo- the reason that they are large rich and easily worked by mill and furnace, which is not the case with the gold mines of many other districts, owing to the fac that, below the water line, the gold in the ores Is encased in sulphureis, and to free it from these latter, costly processes and much miHing kuowl edge arc required, ,-essentials we have not been supplied with.
 Our latest news from Bradshaw is derived rom Judge Berry, and k. E. Harrington, who with scores of other intelligent reliable gentlemen ar. rived this week. This news Is that several new and rich lodges had been discovered that work upon the old ledges was progressing favorably ; that one smelling furnace was nearly completed, and ready for operations; that Bradshaw City was growing rapidly, and, in fact, that everything. was lovely.
 The rich "streak" in the discovery location of the Tiger, was fully three fee, thick when the par ties len, and every ton of it will yield from ssOG to soOOO Besides this, there are other stratas in the mine that will pay we'll for mining and crush ing. This Tiger lode bids fair 10 become a world wonder 1t having been traced and located ior nearly six miles, and rich rock found everywhere Should t hold its treasures, further down in th, earth, as there is every reason to hope, the Com stock, of Nevada and the Emma, Of Utah. will have to figure far below 1t in tue list of great sl yer mines, for they are barren, in places indeed have neither quartz metal Among the other promising mines, upon which work Is being done are the Eclipse, Badger, Cougar, Lion Lioncss Benton, Del Pasco, Bradshaw and Yreka. Tn, four last named mines are richer in gold than sil yer. Mcssrs. Jackson, Shoup and Smith, vii soon have their little stamp mill up and running and the owners of the Yreka are making an aras ua It Is said that Messrs. Bean and Bowers ar going over next week to select a site for mil they intend to erect Messrs. Buckminster an, Pleeson had arrived Being gentlemen of larg experience, and vast influence In rich mining cir cles, their reports are anxiously looked tor Gu Of one-half pan of debris from the Bradshaw lode, Judge Berry banned out near,y six dollar eoyh of gold
 Reports from other districts are favorable. Tn deepest shaft in the Vuture Mine, near Wichcu burg, was last week down 34O feet, at which deptl the vein was richer and thicker than ever before The Company's 40-stamp mill was working witl good success.
 Sheriff Behan visited the Great Sexton mine, il Weaver district, and prOnounces it immense, il sire and richness. Work was being pushed. An other ledge, in same district, near Rich Hill, wa yielding very rich ore.
 note from Big Bug district Informs us tina she mill was running upon good ore.
 in Hassayampa district, Davis x Co, are takIn, out ore and building road, for their exp.cte, min.
 East Of Prescott, towards Camp Verde, men ar al work upon gold ledge, and Ed. Peck has ?, gently found very rich silver ore.
 In Pima. Yuma and Mohaye counties, miners and prospectors, although not us busy as ours, ar working away. To sum up, the mining "heId, as our English cousins would say, is broad an promising. All that is needed to Dlace Arizon
