 Cspitalises of San Francisco and the Eas1, ,r,r, own interests in mines at Black Canyon, are talking ssssoosIy of starting work upon some sf said mines.
 Placer mining-with paying results-is still being prosecuted on Lynx Creek and the Hassayampa.
 .E.J. Cook, lone of the owners of the IT. ger mine), has written us letter from San Francisco, stating his desire and intention tc start for home as speedily as possible.
 We learn that it is the intention of P. ". Smith, of the Vulture mine, Wickenburg, tc remove his little mill to point some or lC miles further down the Hassayampa, to the mouth of dry wash. by following which quartz wagons can easily reach the mine ey travelling about ten miles, over very good road. To do this, Mfr. Smith will have to raise water out of the deep sand in which 1t is hidden; but he thinks it will pay him bet ter to do so than to haul quartz over the old, long road between Wickenburg and the mine. We'think it doubtful if he will undertake to do SO.
 Our Weaver District correspondent, writ ing from Antelope under date of the 20th, inst. says: .--
 aMinipg prospects here are improving. The rock worked by the Marcus Company during the past six weeks has averaged over one hundred dollars per ton; but owing to Indians. they have to labor under many diffi- entities. having to guard their animals at night and put an escort with the team which hauls quartz and are compelled to place more men at the mine than are necessary for working purposes. .'' Every other man you meet here talks about diamonds The rest are praying for General Crook to drive out the 'Apaches."
 CT. S. Curtis, who has just arrived from San Francisco, will immediately start work upon the Canadian mine, which is some six miles south os Prescott, in thepine timber. The talk is that Mir. c. has sold the Cana dian to San Francisco Company. .a.
 Mohave County. - .:. - :" While here recently. MT: Hardy spoke en- courasingly of the success of mining in his county.-His small mill has paid we'll, and his principal lead-the Fairfeld-has devel- oped into what he informed us is one of the largest and richest mines on the Pacific Coast. ,. Writing from Cerbat, Wallapai District, under date of August IS, correspondent of the Inyo California Independent, says:H' , Aasr long time wfiss you 2 few hasty lines from thi. place Not that place of great imporAnce at ed there has never been foud n all world equal for the above named camp the showing far suasses anything seen by miners since the discovery ot gold silver and lead and ouly the surface good but the ores The Cupei and Little Tiger have few Equals and superion Al the depth of e7 feet the Cupel gives plenty of gcod ore the assay value ranging from S375 to e500 per while the sample from ten and half tons of little Tiger gave s3el42 at depth of 70 feet The Champion produces from surface as far s prospected e feet and the average from wall to wall hree fee b sixty of silver and fortyHve per cent lead The M Smith two gentlemen who have invested in this camp than ee0000 in gold and still they buy when an opportunity suits They have or will In short time make money.

 Our fellow-townsman, Judge Wm. J. Berry, called upon us this week, and gave us further light upon the new mine recently found by R.W. Groom, which is situate south of the line of the proposed 35th parallel railroad, and not far from the Needles, the point al- ready selected for bridging the Colorado river. We have specimens of the ore. sam ples of which have asssyed Sl5,000 to the ton. The finding of this mine has had one effect for which we are sorry: It has caused Judge Berry to dispose of his place in this town, and we will soon have to bid him adieu, for he is bound to go down and super intend the work of developing it, while his partner-Mr. Gnoom-will hunt up another mine, just as if the aGun-sight," as the new mine is called, were not sufficiently rich to satisfy even Bob Groom. The Judge is one of our old stand-bys and all our citizens will regret his departure from this town, which, for over eight years, has been his home.
