MINES AND MINING.


 Tho coming of long days and warm weath- CT. or something else, has caused miners anu prospcctors in this vicinity to display cons'o- erabIe energy, as, scarcely day passes mat q party (sometimes parties) of men may not be seen vending their way to the nou"'A'"'' sin search of shining gold" ana s"'er'- principally the latter The news from the several districts m this (Yayapai) county, is quite cheering. Messrs' DeI.and and Irwin, who have recently re- turned from looking at the principal lodes of Tiger. Pine Grove and Hassayampa Districts, express themselves delighted with what they saw in all of those districts. Indeed, NIT. DeLand says he has at last found another Gold Hill country, in the section that bears the Tiger, Benton and other lodes. He also thinks we'll of the Del Pasco company's ledg- e.. in Pine Grove District, and we'll he may, as a letter from the Superintendent--T. w. Brooks. states that at a depth of over 90 feet from the surface the Del Pasco lode was thicker and richer than it had been st any point in the shaft above that depth.
 The company have at last, after long and patient trial, secured another team-that of Mir. Fredericks-to haul quartz, and their mill will soon be making gold.
 Work has been resumed by the miners of Sedgwick date Turkey Creek) who are now, it is hoped, strong enough to protect them selves against Indians.
 The Davis lode in Hassayampa District, is again attracting attention from persons who arc likely to commence work upon it.
 From the Benjamin country, eight or nine miles southeast from Prescott, highly en- couraging news still keeps coming.
 ]. Davis and others returned here one day this week from visiting the Benjamin, Bis marck, Canadian, Heather Chinee and other lodges, all of which they describe as being compact, we'll defined lodes,-very rich in silver. TEese lodges are not noted for great size, but it is pleasing to know that so far, work upon them has shown that they arc narrowest on top.
 A company of men have an arastra run ming; hope to be successful with it, and to give us the particulars as soon as possible. The vulturc mill, at Wickenburg, is run ming, with good success, and the mine is looking better than it has at any other time in its known history. We have heard noth ing new in regard to the much-talked of transfer of mill and mine to an English com Pany.
 Mohave County.
 News from wallapai District is quite mea- gre. Our latest is derived from the letters , of J. P. Bull and Charles Schroeder, who talk very encouragingly. Mir. Coovcr's fur nace was running, and it was thought that Mir. Elders would be running by the 10th of the present month.
 Yuma County.
 Mir. Borger's mill near Ehrenberg, ought, by this time, to be crushing. All who have seen it and the mine feel assured that Mir. B., will make success.
 At Castle Dome, miners arc still taking out orc for shipment to San Francisco.
 Maricopa County.
 But little mining will be done in this coun- ty until after harvest, which commences this month.
 Pima County.
 Having, elsewhere, alluded to prospecting, etc., in this county, We wish, only, to re- mark that there arc, in the county, lodges of immense size and great richness, the owners of which ought to be at work upon them.
 Miscellaneous.
 The placer miners now at work on Lynx and Hassayampa creeks, near Prescott, are, every one, doing we'll. We have heard of individual miners and companies who have recently taken out as high as an ounce ot gold per day to the hand.
 There is now at the store of c. P. Head & O., . solid piece of Tiger ore, which weighs sevcnty-five pounds, and which is well worth seeing, as it is extraordinary rich in native silver, threads and clusters of which are to be seen all over every side of the huge speci- men. It is, we believe, the intention to ship this specimen to San Francisco.
 We have, here in Arizona, immense miner al wealth, good facilities for securing it, and the grit to hold on to these things until such times as railroad or bona fde peace with the Indians shall enable us to procure means and
