WEEKLY ARIZONA MINER: PRESCOTT sEpTEMBER 97 ls1s

Jackson & Co, and many other companies are taking out the royal metal by the ounce.
 Saturday last, Mr. A. W. Calien, of June. ton City, Kansas, through the French Con. sui, purchased the interest of the estate of Tbomas Bodkilln in the mill site in the Bradshaw district, and in the Burrow and oro Fino lodes, which are said to be very rich. MT Csllen, we understand, intends pur- : chasing an interest in few good lodges, and, as soon as practicable, bringing on machinery and work it here, instead of hauling the quartz 2Oo miles, to the Colorado river. on wagons, and then shipping around to San Francisco, to be worked. This Mir. Callen js one oi the most energetic gentlemen we have ever met, and his taking hold of mines here strengthens our faith in the speedy develop. ment Of some of our mineral wealth. He likes the country, and we like him for that and his vim. ..
 Several parties are out prospecting.
 Mohsve County.
 Charlie Spencer is still taking shipping ore from the Cupel and Little Tiger lodes.
 Mir. Wm. II. Hardy is going to have hoist. ing works on one of his lodes at Mineral Park. He has the promise of . good mill and fur mace.
 The Ida company have let . contract to sink 300 feet on their mine. The shaft is sl- ready POO feet in depth.
 Capt L. c. welbourn, one of the old stand byes, writes us, from San Francisco, under recent date, that public opinion there was very much in favor of Arizona; that is, our mines were considered among the best on the coast.
 Mahcopa County.
 Recent findings, on Salt River, above Camp Mcdowell, are ofs nature to prove that rich deposits of precious metals exist there.
 But little is being done in the mines of Yuma and Pima counties, owing, we pre-. sume, to the great heat.
 All over the Territory, hopes arc now bright. All who are engaged in crushing orc by arastra process are making money, and the only mill that is running is filling the most sanguine expectations of it's owner.
 Two months may see active operations commenced on the Tiger lode, in Bradshaw district. Let such operations De commenced and in less than one year the Tiger, War Ea- gle and other mines in this district will be yielding enormous quantities of bullion, and there will be town almost, if not quite, as large as Virginia City, Nevada.
 ANOTHER RICH srHiKE-Mr. J. s. Thomas. sheriff of this county, arrived home thursday last, from visiting Walnut Grove, Kirkland and Skull valleys. In Walnut Grove district. he ob. served some 70 miners and prospectors busily en. gagged Ia working quartz taking out orc and ,rac. ing ledges. Messrs. White, Scott ssd Johnson had just found the Vcsuvius mine, the richness of which may be judged from the fact that in . very short time after its discovery 1000 feet were located on it Pieces Of the rock brought here by Mir. Thomas are rnsrvelousiy rich In free gold SO rich that about ten tons thereof would give person all the pin money he or she could spend In long time This ore bA. a rusty sp. pearance despite the bluIsh wsl.e qear,1 Of which | it Is, In the main, eomposed. shan was down 10 feet. and some of the rock was being worked In Henry & smiths arastra on Kirkland creek Henry Wiekenbarg, the discoyerer Of the great vuiture lode, was preparing to build wheel 10 , run arastras and do custom work.
 Beside the vesuyius, the district contains uu- merous other lodes which are rich In gold, silver and copper, all of which are easy of access, by wagon. The water power of the district is excel. lent, aud ~e sec good reason why it should not soon become the most populous mining dis trict In this section Of the Territory.
