MINES AND MINING.
Yayapai County.

r. - ton. at mill and mine. Water was flowing through his Hume, from tue lIassayampa . He will. of course. work the richest ore in his . claim on the Nulture mine, which adIOin. that of the Nulture mining company Farther this way, near Camp Date Creek, men are working placars on Martinez creek, and we learn, making considerable money.
 Some eight milcs from this place, and near the famous Antelope Till, where nuggets of gold have been taken mp by the peck, the Marcus company are still crushing quartz, and many men are making well in the placers.
 Dr. ]. II. Picrson, of Wickenburg, has kindly informed us that MT. Chas. Peterson has recently purchased one-third of the Mar GUS property.
 Nothing save prospecting is going on about Peoples valley and Walnut Grove.
 From the Bradshaw region, we have the good news that the Messrs. Jackson. Shoup d Co.'S mill and arastras were started carly Wednesday morning last, on ore from the War Eagle lode. A pack train will be kept constantly carrying ore from mine to mill.
 Farther south, the Tiger and other com panies are still raising ore.
 Beyond the Tiger, Col. II. \. Bigelow, J. ". Johnson, \. C. Williamson and another man are doing little prospecting on the Huff lode, with the view of getting a gov eminent title thereto. Dr. BcndeIl super intendrnt of indian Affairs, has just pur- chased an interest in this mine, which is good proof of its intrinsic value. The mine was discovered long ago. but owing to Indian hystilities, it has, for long time, lain idle. All around it are many other good mines.
 Saturday last, Col. Cany brought to town a sickful of beautiful gold and silver ores from his lodes in the Black Hills, about 2j miles east from Prescott. The Colonel and his party are still prospecting these lodes
 Near the head of Lynx creek, Mr. w. Pointer has his water wheel and arastras doing good service on ore from the Pointer lode.
 Scores of placer miners are at work on Lynx, Big Bug Black Canyon and Hassay- ampa creeks, and the amount of nice gold that has found its way into the drawers of our shop-keepcrs, in the past week, is very good evidence of the good luck that has crowned the efforts of our gum booted | workers.
 The best news of all is that the Messrs. ! Lovejoy & O., of lower Lynx creek, are piping away, in their immense hydraulic claims, which claims contain sufficient gravel to give employment to 100 men for the next fifty years.
 Besides the company named, other compa- l nies are at work in the same locality.
 Mohavs County.
 The latest news from Mohave Cat this | wrItingl, is conveyed in private letter from Ehrenberg, of the 7th inst, an extract from which we here insert:
 'Groom's new discoveries in the Cedar | valley and Aubrey districts are creating con | siderable excitement. Five tons of GuEsight | ore is now on the bank, ready for shipment | 10 San Francisco. IL goes consigned to Wm. E Hooper 6c Co.,, and the owners are expect ing to realize 8 900 to the ton. Your friend ! George Tyng went up to visit tho new dis trict on the jth inst"
 This means R. ". Groom, formerly of this place, who has never yet been known to miss the trail to a good mine.
 Aubrey and Cedar valley districts are some thirty or forty miles south of Walla- pal and Maynard districts, in the same me tallic country.
 We have, too, word that the Messrs Ray mond have purchased the old Moss mil, which Is situate on the east bank of the Col orado river, near IIardyville. They will very soon have it running on ores from Wal lapai district.
 An item in the Mining and Scientific Press ! of San Francisco, says that a l5-stamp mill ! is being transported to Wallapai district.
 Yuma County.
 Mir. J. IT, Lutgerdng, who arrived here | recently from Ehrenberg, has assured us that | the late failure to work Constantia ore has had the effect of making the San Francisco owners send out man who kaots hoto to save the gold.
 We have not 6 word about mining indus try in the district around the town of Yuma
 Marioopa County.
 Beyond a little prospecting, nothing is l now being done in Maricopa.
 Pima County.
 Thanks 10 the enterprise of Messrs. E. N | Fish, D. A. Bennett, Samuel Hughes, It. | Wm. J. Ross, of the Army and other gen ternen, there is now in Pima, such picking, drilling and blasting as has not been before heard there since the cleaning out of the old | Spanish miners by the cut-throat Apaches. Within thirty-fye miles of Tucson, work is being vigorously prosecuted on old, aban- dOned mines in and around which are to be seen ancient tools and other evidences of for mer workings Near the Sonora line. hun dreds of men are mining and prospecting. Furnaces, too, are running out the metal, which makes the mare go."
 Mc,sn. Fish & Bennett have just pur- chased turbine wheel, which they are going 10 have on the San Pedro river and by next August, they londIy expect to have twenty furnaces in full blast
 We have now gone through the counties, but have forgotten 10 state that Mr. A. o. Noyes, of Prescott, has gone to California, with the view of making points that will en- able him to run the Chase mill, which is now idle, on the llissayampa, about eight miles from Prescott Perhaps Mir. Moves will make some arrangement by which Mr. A. E. Pau! may be induced to come here and give us helping hand.
 And, now, with Gen. Crook to check and keep the Apachcs within due bounds, which hc will, if permitted 10 do so, we have good ish-on Co hope for more men of muscle and pnrse to come here and help us rob our Ter utoFy of some more of is immense mineral
