THE CITIZEN.
MOHAVE COUNTY.

Our correspondent in the Wallapai dis
 trict, writes us on July ?, as follows:
 About four weeks ago, Con Brice Jeff
 Arnold's camp in Cedar district to 20 tc Mineral Park. He had been engaged or
 the ditch at the Colorado reservation fol
 some time previous and is supposed tC have saved his earnings to the amount o1
 probably five hundred dollars. He has never reached this district, nor been seen or heard of since leaving Cedar district Il is supposed that he either became lost and perished by attempting to travel after night, or has been foully dealt with. The machinery for Buell's prospecting mill, and the machinery of Capt. Vel bOurn Ia Krom Dry Concentrator) have ar rived. The latter machinery will be at tached to the power Of the Pioneer mill at Mineral Park.
 The miners and laborers of Cedar dis trict are all very busy. Teams and pack trains are taking a large amount of ore from thence to Buell's mill in Wallapai mountain. The Grant and McGeary, the Arnold and Daisy Dean, l believe furnish this ore. Buell. has also procured sites and the necessary timbers placed thereon for 10-stamp mill on the Sandy, and a similar mill in Wheeler's wash. This looks as though the Colonel intends to push matters in that portion of our coun- ty.
 A new superintendent for the "63n mine near Cerbat, is expected to arrive soon. The Lone Star company, Mineral Park has levied @ 50-cent assessment, one half payable September l, and half payable October l. They also advertise for propo- sals to sink their shaft fifty feet. which. when accomplished, will make a total depth of 160 feet
 No warmth created here yet in political circles.
 Late rains have damaged the Prescott and Hardyville road near Beale Springs and in Union Pass.
 Following is a letter from our correspon- dent in Mohave county of date August IS, and it makes very good showing:
 EDITOR CITIZEN More sickness has lately prevailed in this section than ever before. l believe every body has recover ed however and general good health again prevails.
 Robert Steene, superintendent of the Keystone, returned from California to Mineral Park few days ago. He prOcur- ed hoisting works for the mine It has time, but every thing will now be raised from the shaft by steam. 1 understand that MT. Steene is to be succeeded as su- perintendent by gentleman nam e q Jones, and that he (Steene) will take charge of some mines in Panamint dis trict, California. AS he is the principal owner in Keystone, of course this change, If there is to be change) is one of his own choosing. About twelve men leave Min eral Park and Cerbat to-day for Panamint district.
 The latest news I have from our mines is to the effect that the Arnold, Cedar dis trict) and the Keystone, {Mineral Park, are particularly looking well, and yield ing handsomely. The Lone Star, Mineral Park, is being rapidly sunk, but is not turning out much "pay" just at present. A great many mines in these districts are being worked all with more or less en- couraging results. The furnace at CeTbat is ready for operation, having beens i'm proved to the amount of about Sl0,G00 out lay, but is not fully supplied with coal for run. Captain Welbourn has not yetsuc- ceeded in getting his concentration in Ope- ration.
 It is understood here that C. W. c. Row ell of Yuma, will be announced as candi- date for Delegate to Congress about the lst proXimo. hope 1t is true. He will be likely to stir up some enthusiasm. Hardy is here and thinks his prospects good. So far as can ascertain the people of this county have arrived at no choice of candi- date. There is not yet any thing like cer- tainty arrived at with reference to ticket for county officers. From present appear ances the vote of MOhaye county will not 9Xceed three hundred.
