MosE PRECIOUS STosEs.--A party of three men came in here yesterday, from the "coun- try,p one of whom called at our office and borrowed work on precious stones. He was exceedingly rctcent, and to our ques- tions gave the answer that himself and partners had place where they expected to secure all the wealth they desired, and that said place was not one thousand miles from Prescott. The book wss returned late in the afternoon, and, this morning, we learn that the trio, after packing their animals with provisions etc, started, late in the night, towards Northern Arizona.
 MrSrs-lNDrAss "A letter from Jesse Jackson, dated "Del Pasco Mill, Bradshaw, February G." was this morning handed to us. It says that Messn Fine, Martin & Moore had just arrived there from Hunbug Creek, where, they stated, four arrastras were work ing up gold rock that was good for hree hundred dolidrS per t0q,.
 Indians are numerous over there, and the miners would like to take in Gen Crook as full partner for a short time.
 Several more arrastras are in course of con struction.
 Should the S300 rock hold out, it will be bad for the Indians, as hundreds of miners and prospectors will soon be there to hustle them out.

 The water works at Fort Whipple, were put in operation yesterday, and soon forced water from the well near Granite Creek, to the reservoir on the hill back of Department | Headquarters.
