The weekly Arizona miner., 1871-06-10


 Hall! gloriors Arizona we salute thee, in the name of living and dead pioneers. whose many sacrifices for thy redemption from barbarlsm arc at last, crowned with success Pick, shovel and quartz ledge-the emblems of our success, of our faith and constancy-haye more than ever exalted thee aud us in the estim ation of the civil. iEed world. "The die Is east" the problem solved. Thy mountains contain vast masses of quartz, In which are stored untold millions of gold, silver and copper, and from now on nsught can stay thy march to power, wealth, happiness ana prosperity. The flat has gone forth thy splendid resources, in metals, minerals, timber farming aud gazing lands, together with thy superb climate, arc known and acknowledged on every hand, and strangers are Journeylng hither to participate In the many good things, and to assist In the performance of the last pleasing rites the burial of the accursed Apachcs - those scoundrels who have desecrated thy sacred soil, and drenched it with the blood of those who, but for them, would, ere this, have redeemed thee from every blight, and fixed thee q star in the glorious American Armament of States. The peo- pie of Arizona have, indeed, great cause for re- jolcing, and they do rejoice.
 Bradshaw, that highest, noblcst and richest of districts, perched upon top and sides of the grsndcst, most beautiful mountain range in all this southern country is the Queen who sits en- throned above us, which we worship, which fills our soul with promise, and Invites strangers from afar to come and share with us the rich treasures which are set thick in her adainantiuc, pine-clad bosom
 Recent news from the district is good, and we will endeayor to give most of It, from what We have geaned from the scores of intelligent reliable gentlemen who have quite recently re- turned here on business:
 The Ttg--thr leading s..ye. lode of the dis trict Is a marvel among mines, and 1t having been traced Tor over six niles, is, we think, entitled to be called the King of Mines" Of the many shafts, cuts and tunnels now being run into It. we have yet to hear of the first grow at the ledge All the companies are getting plenty of rich ore and have been doing so from the time the first picks were struck into tue croppings Where, we ask, Is there another such ledge, over six miles in length an average of from four to thir- ty-nve feet in thickness, and as yet, not one bar rem spot found in the whole length of the minel Then, the immense richness of its ores is some. thing wonderful Just think of 5,ooOlbs of poor " selected surface ore yielding in San Francisco, at the rate Of 5000 per ton of the piece taken to that city by J. G. Campbell, which assayed nearly VI, l,sOO to the ton; of the following assays from Gold Hill and Virginia City, Nevada, made there Tor Nm A. Lnn and other persons, by eminent assayers By Wiegand X Co, nine samples, as follows 0Oe. .75 s736.5O, s225O Sl22 O0SI, ,74263 sl l,9S34o, s2547.e0. s5S-lS; mixture of the ores, <l,3lsos.

By Mccullough K Co, one assay, 9s222
 What splendid results, And yet, they are pooy, compared to what those famous assayers could now get out of ore from depth of from oO to 40 ieet M ths famous Tiger mine. Why Moreland ~ Co, original locators on the Tiger, have out of their deepest shaft, about 10 tons of frst-class ore which will yield, good judges say, over sG GOO to the ton; besides 250 tons of second-class ore which may go as high as sl,0 900 per toni This cannot be else; the surface of every piece of ore taken from their rich six feet s'strata Is liter ally covered with "native silver" The same is true regarding the other claims on the Tiger, all are rch. But the discovery company have the most ore out, and, perhaps, the widest pay streak Those who may doubt our assertions regarding the silver in the Tiger ore will please call at Cook & Bowers, and see the powders that are literally covered with sheets of native silver; at shis ofice or any otber place Of business In Prescott
 And the Tiger Is not the only rich silver mine ID Bradshaw no, not by any means. Memory brings to mind the Lion lode; the Eclipse; the Lioness, Couga-, and Lorenna upon all of which, much "otk has been done, Is stiil being done by parties whose faith in the richness and extent of their iedgcs, is founded upon the large masses of ore thickiy speckled and threaded with free gold una silver that they have taken out and are still getting. piece, from the "Bondsman" claim, Gray Eagle mine, sent us by our old postmaster, G: w. Barnard, may be seen and admired at this omce-admired for the great amount of the ore. cious metals to be seen in it.
 Then such gold lodges as the Bradshaw, the
 
 assays over q 900 to the toni; the Del Pasco Hunter, and Espinosa, are giving good accounts of themselves, and will soon be tested by mill Jackson & Co, having, through the aid of s. c. Miller, overcome all mountain barriers and land. ca iheir little stamp mill near the Del Pasco, where 1t will soon be set up and running.

 Messrs. Blgelow, Otis, Pierce and Simpson, ar- rived tn town Thursday morning, from the Davis loce, on which the first three have been working their cisims for some days past They brought Tn samples Of the ore from different portions of the vein that are Of fine quality On the discoy. cry claims, Messrs Bean, Groom and Dayis have opened the lode in two places and taken out some ~ tOns or ore, the crevice ls ten feet wide and presents most favorable appearance. Silver ore rom the lower cut shown us yesterday, compares issorably with the milling ores from Bradshaw anu silver mountain lodes. There has been but tttie prospecting done in the vicinity of tue Davis inine, and we look for the discovery of some val. aabie iodes Ia that nelghborhood Three lodes Iuanins parallel With the Dayis have been feceDt- " iouno ana taken up-ope on the East named the Lone Star, and two on the west called the Smith, and Psarl-the latter was discovered br the party above named. on Wednesday. and shows well on the surface for l,200 feet u is from two to three feet wide.
