MINES AND MINING.
Y.vlr ai County.

 several gentlemen have arrived in Prescott from Tiger and Page Grove districts. m Brad shaw mountains. t,1me 50 miles south of PresrJtt) from whom we learn the following items;
 J4.k.1n d Co. had struck water in their wei. anI expected to be able tU run their mil (t j->trnp oncJ anl arastrls, night and day. They have succeeded in procuring the pact-tran Jf Mr. Wm Simmons, which keep them supplied with quartz from their claim. on the War Eagle loie.
 Mes,r,. McKlnnon Goodwin were run hing one ara,tn, with horse power, upon ore from tue War Eagle. The intention is to construct ani run two other arastlas.
 Theore from this mine i, exceedingly rich in free gold, and, some people say, silver Not long since, Mr Vim. Cole picked up piece of rock as large as a mans head, puyerized and washed it, after which performance he had lcft teaspoonfull of pure gold. This piece ofore came from the bottom of 70-foot shaft.
 Messrs. Foster and Ross, acting for deputy mineral surveyor o. II. Case, have finished surveying i 900 feet oC the Gray Eagle lode. for Nr. Philip Richardson & Co, who will soon apply for patent to tho same.
 They have also surveyed 1000 feet on same lode, for Mr. C. C. Bean and others, who will. also. soon apply for title thereto.
 They have also surveyed discovery location on the Benton lode, consisting of 600 feet the owners of which will immediately take the necessary steps to secure n U. $. patent
 Mr. Foster, while gazing on the Tiger dump had no difficulty in picking up pieces of ore which, he says, were literally covered and veined with native silver Mr. Davis who has seen all the mines in Wallapai district, and much of the ore that has been extracted from them, has de.iared to us that the rtaSe ore which makes the Tiger dump is the richest pile of ore m this or any other district. Then, what a pity it is that the mine is not being worked And the Tiger is not alone, in size and richness, as the Ben ton, Gray Eagle, War Eagle, Bradshaw, and scores of ether lodes, lying in close proximity to it are nearly, if not quite as rich That, too, in section of country where wood, wa ter and other needful things are in great abundance.
 Nearer Prescott, in tho old Turkey Greek district, Messrs. Colyer, Hatz and other gen tlemen are taking out gold and silver ores, for shipment to San Francisco.
 lC Walker and Hassayampa districts. noth- ing, save little placer mining, Is being done, yet these districts hold, in places, scores of goli and silver bearing lodges, which, m any other country could and would be worked with great profit The same is true of Big Bug, Black Canon, and other districts near tbis town of Prescott, around which there are hundreds of ledges awaiting the coming of capital and mining intelligence to make thetn yield their treasures.
 In Walnut Grove district, few men are driving prospecting shafts, one arastra is in ! course of formation, and Mir Allen Cullum- Der and others are prospecting the deep bars and bed of Hasssyampa creek, where they ex- pect to strike good pay. T
 Smiths mill Is running in Wckenburg dis. trct, with what success We are unable to state. The Nulture company having sued him for some g feet of groun1 which he claims as his own, it IS to be hoped that the suit will | not interfere with the good work he i. now doing for himself and the Territory. While | at the mill, recently, we saw some very rich | ore, and great deal of good amalgarn. Speaking Of lawsuits, the original Tiger ! company are threatened with one, to prevent | them from acquiring title to all the ground | claimed by them, but as, to our knowledge. | no move has been made in this direction, it | may be that they will not be troubled. Ift not, the government patent to their thine will | soon issue, and, soon after receiving it. they | expect aid to work their mine, from San Fran | cisco mining capitalists.
 A rumor reached this place, by last stage. in effect that mining engineers and represent, atlves of capitalists were, in company with MT. J. ID. Cusenbary, coming by extra stage from California to look at the Vulture prop erty.
 Another item is that Mir. H. Bower, thinks Of arastraing ore from Big Bug district, be- low his ranch on the Agua Fris where there IS abundant water power to run arastras. That he will do so is to be hoped
 Mohave County.
 The good news published in last MINER. | from this district, has satisfied all here, who | have read it, that there are good mines and | prosperous times in our sister county Great hopes are entertained of recent discovery the Hope-specimens from which may be | seen here. We last week made mistake in giylng the name Of the dlscOyerer of the Hope. It was, We learn, found by a Mr. Hone uf Nevada. Ex-Leutenant Owens formerly of the California volunteers, is large owner in it.
 We have nothing new from the other coun- ties of the Territory,
 As an addenda, we wish to inform honest miners, prospectors and capitalists, every Wnere, tbat there are in Arizona splendid [ chances for acquiring fortunes out of mines. and, as the Indians are now quiet, the pres, ent IS good time for such people as we have named to come here. Even by the slow aras fra process, intelligent miners can make money out of several lodes, in every county of the Territory. People could have done SO before but for the Indians and the high prices of provisions, tools, etc, which prices have Cal. len, greatly, in the last year.
 Come, then, mining men of Colorado. Cali. iornia, Nevada, Montana, Idaho, Utah and elsewhere, 10 country in whose coldest and warmest places man can work every day in the year, and feel m the best of health.
