MINES AND MINING.
Yavapai County.

NOteieJs
 Beginning at home, in our own county, we can, with truth, state that the Vulture Min ing Company are expecting means to make the neces sary improvements to enable them to work, with profit, the abundant ores of their great mine, near Wickenburg. NIT. Phelps may now be at Wickenburg, prepared to inaugurate the new and better epoch. As vet, it is not known to us whether the com pany will build railroad from the mine to the Hassayamps, or carry water from said creek tU the mine, but we have great faith that one or the other will soon be done, and that, as in times past, the mine will yield it's hundreds of thousands of dollars per snpuIn.
 Mr. F. ". Smith, in letter of March lst, assures us that tbe Hume to carry water to his mill is a great success, and that not many months will pass before he, too, will com mence working ore from his claim on the Vulture.
 At Weaver, the Marcus coinpany are busy as ever, mining and crushing ore Rock recently sent to San Francisco from the San Domingo silver mine, which lies be- tween Wickenburg and Walnut Grove, yiel- ded at the rate of Si ,JUO per ton. [ Ore from the Great Sexton has also given fresh proofs of richness of the mine. Allen Cullumber and others are operating with mines in Walnut Grove district Near Kirkland valley, men are working on a recent discovery.
 At Bradshaw, prospecting is the order Jackson & Co, K. McKinnen and others, are , still taking rich ore from the War Eagle and other lodes, which ore is being taken to mill.
 At L,nx creek, Mr. Pointer is running an arastra, by water powcr,, on Pointer ore, | which is paying quite we'll.
 Placer mining, on Lynx, Hassayampa and Big Bug creeks, is being pushed with a ygoT that is at once praiseworthy and money-in- spiring So, mining matters at home are all that could reasonably be expected at time when not one large and wealthy company is operating here.
 Pima County.
 On the other side of Tucson and near the Mexican border, some seventy men are at work upon the Enterprise mine, which is now very promising institution.
 Near Florence, on the Gila river, Mir. Jos. Collingwood and other enterprising citizens have men at work upon two very promising i i-dges. The ore Of one Vs these lodges !. | 90 per cent. copper, and Mir. Colling...-:! mas 900 sacks on the way from San Francisco, in which he designs shipping the ore to said city. lt can be hauled to port on the Col oradO river for two cents the pound Yuma County. Castle Dome district, near Yuma, is still turning out silver ore, which is being regu. lary shipped to San Francisco. We have nothing new from tue Constantia mine, near Ehrenberg.
 Mohave County.
 While he was here, Major W. D. Wheeler va plaa .ad tn inf ,L., lu I shafts sunk upon seven lodges in Maynard district, WaIlapai mountain, and that tue deepest shaft is on the E. M. Smith ledge, said shaft being over sixty feet deep. He prefers this ledge to all others, and will keep on prospecting it. Messrs. Cory and Davis, of Wallapai mining district, were hopeful over mining prospects in their section, and letter from Capt. l.. c. WelbOurn gives proof positive of the great richness Of the mines of the same section. Items.

 Maricopa County.
 The letter of our Phoenix correspondent has items going to show that the mineral wealth of this county is not being neglected.
 And now, to wind up, we beg to assure mining capitalists that peace reigns in the Territory, and that the present is a most ia vorable time for them to come or send agents to look at our mines. We want capital, skill and enterprise to open and work our mines to good advantage, and are willing to make sac rifices 10 obtain them.
 There is scarcely a mining district in the Territory that does not offer splendid induce ments in the way of tempting mines and fa- cilities for working them.
