 Jackson S Co. are still milling and arastraing War Eagle ore, at their place. some 30 miles south from Prescott A plck.train laden with proyis ion. went over there Monday last The rock IS paying and they are well satisfied.
 Mrssrs. Foster and Ross went over with this pack-train, for the purpose ot surveying the Grey Eagle and other lodcs whose owners wish to ap- ply for government pateuts.
 new arastra is running on War Eagle orc. It is tue property of Mcssrs. Mchinnon and Good. win.
 In Walnut Grove district, Messrs. Henry and White arc opening the Rainbow lode, with the view of working the ore iu an arlstra.
 In Weaver district, the Marcus and other com panes working ores very successfully Pla. ccr miners are alsO doing well, learned by the quantity of gold dust recently seen by us at Wickeuhurg.
 In wickenburg district Mir. P. W. Smith Is run ninghis mill, which recently visited, and which, it appeared to us, worked like a charm. He is as- sisted by MT. Peter Taylor, formerly supernten- deut Of the Nulture mine), and by Mir. F. L. Brill The mill is conveniently situated on the Hassay ampa, about miles below Wickeuburg and an equal number Of miles from the mne-Vulture-- with which it is connected by a good road, over which the teams of Dr. w. W. Jones haul the orc. Water Is supplied 10 the mill, etc, by a Hume i; wood Is quite plenty, costing, delivered, about Si per cord. The mill is substantially erected, an assay office Ia almost completed, and there Is at the place store-house, boarding house, in fact, almost everything necessary for comfort and suc- cessful working. Tho benefit to the country from the successful working of this mill will be great, and we hope that no i'll luck or want of mining sense will prevent it's success.
 The Vulture company-which is represented here by MT. B. Sexton-have set their minds upon conveying water to the mine, and they, we learn, have hopes of speedy commencement of work We learn that most Of the old creditors now satisfied 10 await time when the company will be able to pay them, that but little embarrass. ment Is looked for from this source.
 Messrs. G. W Bowers and Hugo Richards, of this place, will soon start for Black Canyon creek to view the chances fo- making money there, by ground.sluicing or hydraulcing. Should they like the diggngs, good camp will immediately be started there.

 great deal Of bullion and ore was being shipped 10 San Francisco. and all felt that the good time had come at last.
 In the way of general remarks, we can say that our people alive to the importance of working the mines, and we do hope that this good spirit will be kept up and intensified until mills aud furnaces shall be running near every town, valley and mining camp within our borders
 To bring about this state of affairs. our traders saloon-keepers, etc. will have to unite with the miners and concentrate their energies upon good mines. Lots of bullion will soon be the result. aud an influx Of white people will speedily follow
