 MOTHER EARTH.
RICH STRIKES, AND FAIR SALES.
Bradshaw District

 the confidence of our Yeople in the richness and permanency of the gold and silver mines in this district, and we only wish our miners had the necessary capital, to erect works to work their ores. But, capital will soon come, and works will be erected. Meantime, the miners might unite, build small furnaces, and run out enough silver to keep up expenses of sinking shafts, etc.
 Upwards of 40 men have returned here from the District, the present week, and full ly as many more have gone out.
 Those who have returned all tell the same tale" Rich beyond precedent" The latest arrivals-Messrs. A. o. Moves and Peter liar vey-feel mighty good over what they saw. MT. Moves says very rich ore was being ta- ken from all the shafts on the Tiger, Cougar, Eclipse, and other lodes, and the owners of claims were greatly excited.
 Several new lodges had been found, among them, two very rich ones-the Golconda and Badger
 Several small lots of ore had been shipped to Wickenburg for treatment Early this week, E. J. Cook, of this place, shipped to c. S. Eaton, of San Francisco, 5000 pounds of Tiger ore, to be tested; and Washington French shipped several hundred pounds to Wm. Linn, of Gold Hill, Nevada.
 It is in contemplation to form a company in Prescott, to procure a mill and set it up in the district and, if need be, smel,ing works But, it is thought that most of the orc will yleld readily to mill process.
 Tests made this week, at one of the mills near Prescott, by the Superintendent, who has worked m several mills at Gold Hill and White Pine, Nevada, are conclusive as 10 the great richness of the Tiger ore. One piece yielded at the rate of twenty five hundred dollars to the ton, and the general average, of all the rock in the ledge, gave between sir hundred aud serea hundred dollars per toh. test of rock from every strata of the big "croppings," gave from $50 to s75 per ton, and when we say that said croppings are about thirty fee. thick, people at distance can form some idea of this "Ns;ionsi Metal. lie Bank and how it can be made to yield up its treasures under good working sys- tenn. It is simply immense; the more SO as it is in the center of region containing all es- sentials for working it,-wood, water, etc.
 Work upon the gold mines ~.s s.so pro gressing. The shaft of the Del Pasco was down about 80 feet, and the ore was as rich as ever, if not richer.
 The placer miners were making fair wages NIT. Moves says he heard considerable talk about some new placer discoveries.
