SALvADoR. R.--This is the name of the gold bearing quartz ledge recently discovered by s. Rodriguez, on the old trail leading to- wards the Agua Fria farm. The ledge is scarcely three miles from Prescott. The original, or discovery, location is owned by the following persons: T. D. Parker, R.. Hendricks, Jos. Taylor, s. Rodriguez and c. Lucas A day or two ago, they had q shaft down eight feet, at which depth the ledge was about two feet wide, and very rich. One of the owners called on us yesterday, and exhibited pieces of the rock in which were grains of gold as large as n kernel of wheat. He also showed US great many fine particles of pure gold, which he had just saved by washing little of the pulyerized rock in horn spoon.
 A ton or more of the rock will soon be crushed in Elliott Bros arrrastra, and, in case the result of said working will be as good as is expected, and the ledge keeps on good, regular crushing of the ore will be carried on. That ledge and everything else will be all right is our sincere wish, since, in such a case we would have at our very doors a good, paying mine, the working of which would give employment to a great many men, and might induce working of other mines.
