Mines and Mining.

Isaac Bradshaw, an old pioneer, with Me,sr,. Cram, Dolan, Dawson and Haggart, left town on Monday last to prospect for placer dicgings, in the Black canon country. Sheriff Thomas, few days ago. returned Iron Weaver district Antelope liill), bring ing some very rich specimens of gold quartz from the Ethan Allen, Allen and May pro- prietors.
 The very satisfactory results obtained by Jackson X Co. in their five stamp mill, and hy Goodwin and McKinnon in their arastras, from War Eagle ore, have stirred up some ot the other owners of feet on that rich lode, | and they have been out to the mine and made | arrangements for sinking shafts, and doing work enough to preserve their titles if no more. Messrs. Davis & Sheckles and other own CTS in the California company's claim on the I,enton lode, in Bradshaw, are sinking shaft on their ground. A. Austin recently sold 20 feet iu this claim for 500. Cheap enough.
 From Mr Geo. Jackson, of Walnut Grove, who was in town Thursday, we learn that Messrs. Cullumber & Scott have found very rich gold bearing quartz vein near the old PIaeeritas, on the head of Arastra creek.
 C. B. Geuung, from Peoples valley, states that Pete Smith and Fred Henry have their water.wheel and arastras on Kirkland creek nearly completed. They are going to work ore from the Rainbow, with every prospect of success. Ore from that lode, worked in a horse arastra, paid from $50 to S93 per ton. They will have to haul the ore from the mine to their water power, about seven miles.
 The Denver Tribune mentions that Col. l. \. Dawley has fine collection of precious stones from Arizona, some of which he Is hay ing cut. Also, that Mexican from Arizona uAs offering for sale, in Denver, about quart of rubies, brilIiants and other valuable stones, some of which were of great size and appar ently valuable.
 Nevada papers mention the discovery of large and rich silver lode sixty miles north from Elko, and quite rush of miners to th' locality had taken place.
 Prof Hill, of Colorado, states that the Re Cloud mine in that Territory is the onl, known spot in the world containing telluriun in workable quantities, and the only place il America where telluride of gold and silver found. The ore pays as high as S6,ooo pc ton in gold and silver.
 Messrs. Rice a jsycox nave just finishe working five tons of ore, at Bowers wate mill on the Agua Fra, from which they save Sl75.oO, or $500 per ton, which was a yiel of Sl5 per ton more than they had calculi ted upon. The ore was from the Co.nucopl lode, in the Black Hills, lode we have pr' viously referred to as being good thinI Mr. Rice naturally feels we'll over the resu obtained, as we'll he may, for he asserts th' there are from 300 to 500 tons of just as goo ore at the vein, lying on top of the ground and others who have seen the deposit su port his statements. The vein is close to tl Verde wagon road, and freight teams retur ing from the Verde reservation, or Cau Verde, will haul the orc from the mine the mill, fifteen miles, for five dollars per to and Messrs Rice and Jaycox have just ma contract for hauling thirty tons at tn price. The ore deposit is vein, nearly he izontal, on the surface of side hill, or ve that has fallen over or slid down from abo' There are hundreds of tons of rich ore req, ,o be picked up, no digging or blasting to done, only little breaking with hamme In consequence of long exposure to the mosphere and elements, if there were e' any base metals in the rock they are eliminated, and, although the gold Is VI fine there is no difficulty in amalgamating in arastras- They can reduce 500 Pour per day, and expect to increase the capac sf their works as soon as possible.
 MT. Rice says that N. P. Pierce & Shultz, at work on the Silver Buck, are do about twenty five feet with the shaft, q have streak of pay ore ten to twelve incl ~ider much richer than any they found the surGlce of the vein, and that was g enough. This lode is only 2i Os m from Bowers ranch, and very fayorably uuted fer working.
 Since the rains have started water in Ly creek, Uncle Billy Pointer has started NhtNt VD"oN e"H '' 'N"''b VI day aad night with good success.
 little above Pointers wheel, C. Y. S ton |. rSnning srassras by horse power, is working rock that pays him over tb dollars peS ton.
 We are glad to learn. from SO many
 tions that the miners are going at their W so earnestly, and. with such satisfactory suits. Waiting for capital is played
 Let us demonstrate By working ores in ( tras, Mexican adobe furnaces, TOT otherv in small way within cur own means,
 ws have the rich quartz nines in Arii that va claim to have, and capitalists
 soon come to get their share of them.
