Mines and Mining.

refer our readers to tho communication of III. A. B." on the first page, which speaks of several old but good mines, of the coun' try and the placer mines of Lynx creek which, for years, have yielded good harvests of pure gold
 Farther down Lynx creek, Mir Lovejoy was, short time ago. enabled to work, for few hours, in his hydraulic claims, and, in these few hours, washed out about $50. A day or two ago, Mir. Jos. Kerr, of Pres colt, showed us a small piece of gold (weigh- ing over Sl ! which, with several other pie oes, some prospectors had just washed out oi Granite creek, at point little way above Prescott They, we learn, are now at work there, with good success.
 Same day, walking into the saloon of Mr. Fred. Williams, we found that gentleman gazing at some twenty ounces of gold dust, from Lynx and ITassayampa creeks, which he had just purchased from persons who had dug it out
 This led us to the stores and other resorts, | at all of which places we saw more or less placer gold, so we returned to our office fully | satisfied that the old placers around Prescott were still in producing state. A party of Californians who have been trying Lynx creek, are very well pleased with it. and would like to work it as such diggings are worked in California-by piping or ground -sluicing. But, there is not, at present, anything like sufficient water to en- able them to do so.
 Several placer miners are working and pros- pecting in the Black canon country, and are well pleased with the results of their labors. Mr. J. s. Thomas, sheriff of this county, who has just returned from the southeastern part of the county, informs us that some l5 Mexicans are washing for gold in the Pls- ceritas, near Walnut Grove, which diggings are banning out very we'll. Placer miners, he says, are also at work, in Weaver district, near Antelope Hill. The fact is, the placers of this vicinity are almost as yet untouched, and we pine for abundance of water, which would enable hundreds of "honest miners Il to make money out of said diggings.
 QUARTZ MINING
 Is being vigorously prosecuted. Smiths ten. 
 low Wickenburs, is recompencing its owne NdhSf5y great deal pf sSfdi inf ft sh little of which Mfr Smith allows to escap' him.
 Mr. Thomas conversed with Mir. Sexton, O the Vulture Mining Company, and fount him in excellent spirits. He is expecting new start in the way of capital, and a couple of months, perhaps less, will see their stamps pans, etc, in motion. We hope so, as th successful running of their great work would be of great benefit to the entire Ter ritory.
 The Marcus company, of Weaver district are working ore that pays them s200 to tn, ton, and report says that they have plenty of such ore.
 Mir. Stanton, in same district, is "compil ing" an arastra, with a view of working or, from the Great Sexton mine.
 In short time ten arastras mill be q work in this district.
 Henry S Smith, of Walnut Grove district have completed an arastra, on Kirkland creek and will shortly know how rock from thei Rainbow lode will pay.
 From Big Bug district, the latest:ncws | that Messrs. Rice & Jaycox, are cleaning up after big run on Cornucopia rock.
 Mr. Elliott, of this place, who went dowr there last week, on prospect, found a few new lodes, one of which is rich in gold anC silver. Rock from another lode found b, him, is the richest in smell of any ore W,  have ever seen. So far, its contents are as sealed book.
 Messrs. Pierce & Shultz are working thei way into the Silver Stag lode, by shaft.
 Ore from the Reese lode is very highl .r~L--.- of fec -:.- s...-i-~;- -->I..-.--'

 We might give other items concerning tn revival of mining in cur midst, but those al ready given will, we think, prove sufIicien to give all readers an idea of the new an, paying start just taken, by men who hay grown tired waiting for "cspitsl," and wh are making capital out of their mines.
