ARIZONA.
 FLORENCE, August 1S.-Reliable in formation came to hand this morning of vein having been discovered in the Athens lode seven feet from the surface, yielding pure and bright native silver nuggets. The new vein is about six inches square, from which at least twenty thousand dollars in silver have been extracted during the past two days by three Workmen. Work was stopped on this ledge for twenty-four hours to give the miners and visitors an opportunity of seeing stratum of native silver. Over fifty men examin- ed the veln yesterday, among whom were miners who had had practical experience in Wyoming, Nevada and Montana, and who declare that its equal has not heretofore been produced on American or Mexican soil. The wonderful richness of the Silver King has surprised all who have seen its mineral bearing lodes, some of which produce from five to nine dol lars per pound. This is cast into the shade in comparison with the Athens yield, which averages ten dollars per pound.
