! some interest in sounding them thereon.
 Now, paragraph more on the Vul- ture mill and mine. There are an av- craze of about 150 men employed constantly, and at times the pay roll shows a force of nearly 200. There is something of debt hanging over the institution, but then hear of no un- easiness whatever regarding its sol vency; on the other hand, the common expression Is that no amount of loose management financially could stop the mill and mine fortnight. MT. Sex ton evidently has his own way of do- ing business, regardless of anything that may be said on the outside Everything in or about either depart ment, simply has neat and strict ap- pearance; if there is anything extrav- agant about the management, it Is surely outside the actual working op- erations. When he assumed charge, mill and mine yards, and the road be- tween, were in a manner in the condi- tion of the surrounding boulders and sage brush country. The reverse is true now. At the mine, a whim cost ing $12, ,000 has been erected; twenty stamps added to the crushing power of the mill. Comfortable quarters and satisfactory food is afforded all hands. The Superintendent presides in the same dining-room with his general employees, and altogether there ap- pears on the surface of things in gen. eral little superfuous trappings of any kind; and one hears as little complain ing on the part of the men, as could be found in the present history of suc- cessful quartz mining on so large scale. No vulgar language is heard on the premises, and on the whole, peace and prosperity prevail. There is an agricultural interest worthy of mention carried on in connection-12 acres of vegetable garden on the Hassayampa, below the tailing yard. This garden is fenced by healthy growth of cottonwood, and divided in the middle by an avenue for wagons, etc., lined by the same thrifty trees. Last evening participated 1n the de- struction of the first of this years pro- duction of melons. Good breeds of hogs, dogs, cats, and other domestic animals, none of which are so numer- ous as to be nuisance or expense, flourish at the mill and mine, and al- together the institution, as have said before, has more of the look of good old fashioned business organization (among the whites), coupled with 8 taste for living decently and in order as we go along. than anything else I've seen ill the Territory, and you can all say what you may to the contrary, and be blessed.
 Regarding "the Great Sexton" dis covery q call nothing 8 mine that has not been systematically prospected to the technical water level), all l know is this: within the past fort night, 47 tons and fraction were re- duced at the Vulture mill, and last evening I heard Superintendent Sex ton and the dlscoverer (Mr. Stanton) express themselves highly satisfied with the results. Of course, 1 had no standpoint as yet for an argument about it. From all reports, the size of ledge or deposit or what not. completely throws the Vulture in the shade. Sex ton has contended from the first that it was richer at least on the score of being easier reduced, and that the gold is more valuable to the ounce; and that he expected to see mill on the ground within few months. The ledge is about 15 miles northeast of here, near Antelope creek and moun- tain-on top of which peak being the place where the many thousands in golden Jumps were picked up some years since. The creek contains water sufficient to run 100 stamps, but my informants say there is any quantity of good milling ore in sight for 1000 stamps, etc.
 All of which is related here for what it may be worth. If it is not strong or highly colored enough for THE CITIZEN, send it to The Miner, which is the most "child-ike and bland" sheet on quartz in the Terri tory. Marion and l agreed on that fact, at least, before 1 left Prescott.
