son end. Itis to be hoped that he may have continued good luck and make q fortune also.
 called on Superintendent Sexton, of the Vulture Works, last evening. He has just started up the mill, after a week or ten days stoppage on ac- count of want of water. He caused considerable ditch to be dug along the bed of the creek above, and the affair will doubtless bs permanent success. Last night there was se- were thunder and wind storm, followed by a sharp shower of rain, and to-day the weather is sultry and looks like rain near ahead again-a dire want in northern Arizona. The Vulture mill runs 40 stamps and reduces 70 tons of ore per A honrs-all gold ore. The little town round the mill is life like indeed, and reminds one of the flush times in Washoe. The military of the Territory is now in the best hends the army affords; this is the first essential. The next is, all the Yankee carpet baggers, of the Sexton crowd characters, that is possible to induce hither. That sort of popula- tion Is destined to increase-it attracts its kind, however, whether death stares 1t Ill the face or not. 1 shall not be surprised if Sexton and the Connecticut chaps about him will, ere another year, have by some means a big mill or suitable works on the late discovery, styled The Great Sexton, ill Weaver district, about 15 miles from here. Mr. Sexton started out several of Jones' teams last evening, to bring ill 90 tons of the ore as test. He has great faith in the prospect at pres ent. don't know yet whether shall go out to the Vul,ure mine or not. The Superintendent says the incline is now 300 feet from the surface, and that he has erected d whirn half way down; and that the ledge more than holds its own. Dr. PiersOn has the hospital at the mill, and gets about all the other practice roundabout; mostly of the intermittent fever order. He has seven ill the hospital at present. He has neat concern, and attends to biz generally about as we'll as any person Pve seen i'll the Territory.
 The town of Wickenburg proper Post Office, etc., is nearly a mile be- low the mill, and complains of dull- ness now; and when the mill or mine stops, the residents feel it particularly. It Is community not unlike mili- tary post-a feast or famine, accord ing to presence or absence of Pay master Just now. they turn their eyes and ears toward Bradshaw, as 8 relief from the steady quiet of the Vulture. am taking notes on thAt excitement as I go along. and hearsay so far will average neither for or against 1t, in the opinion of an ordi- nary casuist like myself. am wa vering a little toward 1t favorably this morning, ill consequence of the report brought down by the stage, that one Bob Landsdon was shot and killed by one Wainright. This is said to be tine first blood for Bradshaw. De- ceased, l am told by an old partner of his hue, was we'll known in Frisco; was powerful man physically; pos sessed other good traits, but was "d--n disagreeable" when drunk-in which condition he frequently was.
 Deputy Surveyor Foreman arrived here with the meridian line yesterday, and expects to get it through to Date creek tomorrow. He found it impos- sible to get across from Salt river to Prescott direct, on account of the mountains and scarcity of water.
 There's much in the gessipy line I would write about, but the space of the paper will not admit it. will add that two female missionaries Mrs. Centerhome and Miss Garrison are en route to Tucson. They are said to have come to the conclusion that Satan IS too we'll fortified along Salt river for their guns. According to the Arizona formula, their chances of suc- cess as they proceed south into Ca- chees' country, will diminish-that is, Tucson, Tubac, Tumacacori and to H." Indifferently subscribed,
