LOCAL MINING AFFAIRS.

Nearly every store in town Is selling lots
 ofGoOdS for gold and silver bullion brought
 from the various mining camps. During
 the week, Mir. Shultes brought in 340 oun-
 ces of refined silver from the Quacharty
 mine, which he recently cleaned up from
 his arrastrars, and paid it out at several
 places. P. w. smith of Smiths mill, be-
 low Wickenburg, came to town on Mon
 day with S6,000 in gold bullion and dis
 burSed it for goods-John H. Archibald re-
 ceiving some $500 of it. Dr. J. c. Handy recently received lot of gold from the ar astrarS working ore from the Yellow Jacket. Another lot of about $500 came in from D. c. Thompson's arrastrarS work ing ore from the Ostrich mine. Occasion ally dab of silver comes from the Trench. But by far the largest share of the pro- ducts of that mine go 10 market via SonO- rl. X short time ago we heard that Padres had boot box, such as received by mer- chants, full of silver from the Trench, and it is certain but very little of it came here. Small quantities of placer dust come in day by day which in the course of week, amount to considerable.
 B. ". Began left for Florence and the Pinal diggings on Tuesday, and before leaving, he showed us certificates of assays made at the Tucson office, viz: Of sam pies of ores from the Continental mine, located near Mcdowell, S2O27 silver and S2lI05l per ton, and another from the same showed $30.'4 gold and trace of silver. The Globe is in Pinal mountain near the Silver King, and the samples from it show SI2G.9S silver and Sl2.4O gold. An assay of ore from the Silver King-lhe late rich strike in Pinal cOunty-shows silver S4223.- 42 and no gold.
 We were shown the figures of an assay recently made of ore from the Smith dis trict, giving the assay value at SS4S.46 silver. For some reason, the parties in in- terest preferred to not state what vein the ore came from. Good reports come from that district and we may hear more par ticulars before going to press.
 Eli P. Duffield this week received a let ter from s. l.. Nash, now in Ohio, by which he learns that Mr. Nash will soon be here prepared with means and will at once put up reduction works to work ore from the Rusk lode, of which we have made mention heretofore. The ore assays away up in the hundreds and plenty of -u:'h is reported in the mine.
 The Quacharty mine continues to yield ore filled with horn silver. NeSsrs. ShultcS and Starrer, who came into town last brought samples full Of seams nf horn silver, the sight of which almost rXcites the fever that sent hundreds of thousands to California from 70 to '52
 McSSrs. Ford and Robarge are working orc in itrrastrars from gold ledge in the vicinity of Quacharty. The vein is from seven to eight feet wide on inc top, and nearly every len to twenty-pound chunk shows fine particles Of gold on all sides. The vein has been traced about three quarters of a mile. It is SO located that short tunnel will tap the ledge al adepth Of 40 feet, and to thoroughly convince them selves of its extent, this development will De made immediately.
 Jack Long arrived on Thursday from 1 smith mining d diStrict in the Santa 1 Rita mountains. He brought some very | ich ore from the Lone Tree lode, which | vas assayed on Thursday, and showed it | o be worth S93S per ton in silver.
