 The machinery for Col Bakers 20-stamp mill was looked for at latest dates. The returns from the "Gunsight" rock re- gently shipped to San Francisco, were very satisfactory.
 The Pioche (Nevada) Record, of recent date has this
 "Mr. II. J. Mann. we'll known as an engin- eer and mill man in Virginia, White Pine and other places in Nevada, arrived from Walll- pal a few day. since, and purposes remaining in Pioche. Last winter be went to Walapai where he found the ore was being worked wet, with very small returns. Owing to the | presence of base metals, not exceeding 40 per cent. was obtained, and sometimes not over | 20 per cent. The mill was then changed to a dry crusher, with two reverberatory furnaces by which means from GO to 75 per cent. oi the pulp assay was obtained. Seventy tons had been crushed in quantities of five tons or l less from different mines, and the result. showed from $50 to S400 per ton. The mil was running on ore from the Rosebud mine when NIT. Mann left, and he thinks it vii turn out S200 per ton. A l0-stamp mill with a Stedefeldt furnace, is much needed in Wal lapai district. A 5-stamp mill is yielding a handsome return on the capital invested, anC with an increase in the number of stamp: there can be no doubt that the yield of bul lion would be much greater, without materi ally adding to the expense of working tho ores"
 Here is uninterested testimony concerning the value of Arizona mines, which, as is very natural, will have great weight "abroad.' We have all along thought that the dry crushing pr"cess was the thing for eur silver ores.
