MINES AND MINING.
Yavapai County.

 hat has been brought to town since date of ast MINER, we can certsinly assert tbst the placer miners of this section of the Territory have beer doing remarkably we'll. Dropping into the s,oSe of Levi Bashford, day or two ago, we were shown .bout s2,0Oo in gold dust, which was jus, brought over from Lower Lynx creek, by Mcssrs Smith, Love. joy and others. Most of this gold rates at ST 50 the ounce. Some of the pieces were quite large. After seeing this, we visited the business houses of c. P. Head & Co, Camp bell & Buffum, Wortnser & Wertheimer. Purcella & Loisillon, and Goldsten & Com. pany's, at all of which places we were shown considerable gold from upper Lynx creek, the Hasa smra, Bag Bug and other localities.
 After this, we are very sorry to know that water in the creeks is decreasing, and, unless we have more rain or snow, soon, most or the miners will have To cease sluicing and go to rocking.
 There is. apparently, considerable anima- tion in the field of quartz mining, which we hope to see kept up.
 MeSsrs. H. 4. Bigelow. ]. ". Johnson and \. C. Williamson, got back to town, recently. from visit to the Silver Mountain district. which lies to the south of Prescott some 10 miles, in a section of country that is well of as regards water, timber, grass, etc. Their main object in visiting the district was to se- cure specimens of ore from the Huff and other lOdes, which object they accomplished Large and small pieces from the Huff. Nam moth, Snow Ball and other prominent mines of the district may now be seen at the saloon nf .pl tl n looking at. Some of the Huff ore will be tested here and in Mohaye county. and if il proves as rich as we think it, active opera- tions will soon be announced in the district This ore bears quite family resemblance to Tiger ore, and shows silver in various form. and combinations. As Mr Bigelow la, promised us notes of his trip and a descrip- ton of Silver Mountain district, we will close by stating that the largest quartz lodes ever seen by us are to be found over there
