 The Bashiord mining company are prepar- ing to work their gulch claims, higher up, on same creek, SO that when all get fairly started. we may look for gain in gold of about S250 per day, over and above what some forty other miners above and below them on the creek, will take out
 owns the old Mexican gulch, in Big Bug dis trict, are slulcIng away.
 Let all who are idle and in need of cash strike out for the placer diggings of Lynx, Big Bug, Hassayampa and other sections. and take advantage of the abundant supply of water to be had at these places and else where in the county.
 Mir Win. II.

Messrs Mckinney and Bockman are driving l,5OO head of sheep towards Ash creek, in this county. Messrs Wicks and others arc ea route with more sheep. The petition for mall service was sent to U s. Senator Sergeant, December 23d.
 Col. II. A. Bigelow started for Lynx creek this morning, to inaugurate work in the min ing claims of the Bashford company, of which be IS one of the proprietors. Tue Colonel has, for some time past, kindly assis- ted us in writing up the MIsER, thus giving us a chance to assist in the composing room, where work has been pressing; but, AS min ing Is more profitable, he will, in all probabil- ity, stick to 1t as long as water lasts, and so, We will have to work the harder in order to dispense with his able pen, to which we are indebted for what little recreation we have had in several years past. May be take out "big money"
