rich strikes, every day some new strike is re- ported Among the recent rich discoveries made, or rather developed, may be men toned the New Era and the Franklin. The New Era boys are now extracting from their mine, at a depth of 60 feet, some of the richest ore yet discovered in camp The ore will average, without sorting. $500 per ton. The lucky proprietors of the New Era mine have shipped several tons of high grade ore to San Francisco, but the ore now on the dump and ready for shipment will discount anything yet shipped by them. The boys have had faith in the final result, and are now rewarded for their perseverance.
 Another very rich strike made is in the Franklin, on one of the Cerbat Company's claims, near Stockton. Mr TOule, the com pany's superintendent, showed me some very rich ore lately taken from that mine. This is very agreeable and unlooked-for discov cry, as that mine was not rated as high grade lode. We have many other Franklin mines laying unnoticed and undeveloped in every portion of the county, which only re- quire the magic of labor to transform them into very productive and valuable property. The Washington mine, under the able management of MT Ben Scott, Is now turn ing out some very fine ore. 1 am informed that MT Scott intends putting on large force of men. There is now large quantity of ore on the dump.
 MT Rdenour, one of the most indetatiga- ble miners of this camp, is to work on the Levins and other mines in this section. Mir | Ridenour is one of the best judges of ore in the district, and insists that we have the richest mining camp in America right here. This is just your correspondents belief, formed from facts obtained by personal ob- servation in this, as in all the leading mining camps of the coast. It resolves itself to simply question of time.
 The '63'' mine is now being sunk upon by contract, in the absence of the superinteAd ent. As usual, the ore is of a very high grade.
 The Mckenzie mine shipped a couple of tons of 900 ore, through Messrs Cory < Potts, this week.
 MT George Hall, just in from Cedar, has made some new discoveries. He is now having the ore asslyed at MT Langley's assay office, in this town. The ore looks very fine.
 D. J. Canty, Esq, also arrived in town from Cedar Valley mining District. He 1 gives very encouraging and flattering ac count of mines in that quarter. We con graduate Dan upon his trip. He made purchase and is satisfied. Besides, his beauty, in our judgment, has suffered no loss. It is true, the tint of the peach bloom is removed from his cheeks, but then it has only given place to a more manly beauty. There is nothing so invigorating to delicate frames or weekly constitutions as plenty of sunshine. Our friend NIT William Cory has taken his departure for the Sandy, on hunting and fishing excursion. The Sandy is to be the Long Branch of this country-plenty of game and trout, fine farms, hospitality, purling streams, groves, beauty and vegetables.
 Mir Paul Breon, in view of the increasing business of the camp, has established a store at Mineral Park, which now boasts of two first-class stores - Davis & Randall, and Breon G Spear. Both houses are doing a good and profitable business.
 Messrs Cory & Potts. and D. J. Canty are supplying this town, Stockton and Cedar Valley with goods, and I ans pleased to say that a more accommodating set of gentlemen than the store-keepers of Mohave county are seldom to be met with,-they have been faithful to the camp and are entitled to its patronage.
 The Keystone mine is turning out richer and richer ore every day. Its permanency is established beyond question It is only on the horizon of its fame.
 Mir Breon is working on the north end of the Oriental, and turning out splendid ore :; as also MT Canty, on the north end of the COnnor mine.
 Mir Patterson is working on his claim on the Keystone as are also Messrs Jackson and Rielly on the south extension of the Key stone.
 Messrs Mcguire and Gideon are turning out fine our from the adjoining claim to the Lone Star. Both these gentlemen are good miners and first-class, social fellows. We had another fire here last week, which burnt out Mir and Mrs Despair from house and home. Loss about $500 The fire orig mated, it is supposed, through some defect in the stove-pipe. Mrs Despair lost all her wardrobe, which is a serious loss, as such ar ticles cannot be readily replaced.
 Col Buel has employed host of men at Hualpai saw mills, and 1 am informed he in- tends purchasing the smelting furnaces at | Cerbat. Col Buel made the first success in smelling at Eureka, and is thoroughly con versant with such matters. To act and to succeed are synonymous terms witE him. Political matters are dormant. All the candidates yet in the field or supposed to be, for Congress, have created neither hostility nor enthusiasm, but apparently utter indif- ference. The people are looking around for a candidate as neither of the gentlemen an nounced seem to have given satisfaction.
 The names of Governor Stafford and John H. Marion are more frequently mentioned than any others in connection with the dele gateship. Why not? Both are more inti- mately connected with the real interests of the Territory than almost any other qualified men in Arizona. Either gentleman would give entire satisfaction.
 As to local politics, we have a host of can didates, particularly for the Legislature, either of whom are fully competent to frame a code of laws for posterity. Happy Ari- zona "KARNAK.'
 That was a sound vote, of the U. S. Sen ate, against the granting of the elective fran chise to women in the Territories, who have
