 GREENWOOD CrrY. March 2l 1875,
 EDITOR MINER:-- Knowing yoa are al ways glad to get items of interest for your paper, we venture to address you letter about this section of our Territory One week ago today We arrived in this place, hay ing come with our "fcur-in- -hand' from Cali forna Since then we have been busy wis iting some of the mines in the several dis tricts around here.
 The McCrackin lode had been so highly spoken of, as large, rich silver vein, that we were prepared to be disappointed, but it has not been overrated. This mine, the sev eral locations on it, taken up under "the new law" is wonderful vein, in size and rich ness
 The Senator is being worked by about thirty men, who are sinking shaft on the ledge. They are taking out very rich ore and great quantity of it, for shipment to San Francisco, so we were told.
 The San Francisco, or Great Western, and the McDaniel mines, are now being worked
 
 Jones, and the Chenowth are among the largest and richest of all the above-named mines on the McCrackin lode. Some of them were originally located by Messrs McCrackn and Owens.
 The Atlanta and Alta are being worked, and it is thought they are on parallel vein, or ledge, with the McCrackin locations Never have we seen larger or richer silver mines than those mentioned Most of them are bonded to men of means, who will pur- chase and erect mills in a short time You will learn more of this Owens district as the mines are developed.
 THE GREENWOOD MINE
 Yesterday we drove up to look at and in- spect this celebrated gold mine, which is To- cated about five and half miles east of this town. In tour crowd" were men who have made mines and mining study for the past twenty years. They all pronounced the Greenwood the largest gold mine, and one of the richest, in the world. Mir Poppy John son, "the gentlemanly foreman" at the mine, very kindly showed us around and gave oc- cular demonstrations of the richness of the ore by "horn-spoonng" several pieces of said ore for us. Messrs. Jones, Stewart & Co.,, in connection with Messrs. Stein, Rains, Tipton and Prichard, are the owners of the Green wood mine and mill. There are 1000 tons of fine milling ore out, on the different dumps, at thls mine, and many thousands more in sight. The owners of this most val uable property intend adding several more stamps to their mill, and are thinking of pur- chasing another mill of 20 stamps. The ore is being hauled down to the mill by mule teams as fast as possible. Quite number of tons are now at the mill which is now ready to start steadily to work. The Company have in their employ about 10 men,
 The Burro mine is in this district, and is said to be one of the largest Assure veins ever yet discovered. Messrs Raines and Co. have taken hold of this mine, and will work 1t immediately.
 The Mineral Peak miLes, some six miles south of the McCrackin lode, where Messrs Potts, Bryden & Co. are interested in quartz ledgeS, is creating some excitement.
 Greenwood City is a lively mining town, on the Big Sandy" flowing stream, some eighty miles south of Cerbat, the county seat of this county. IL is about forty miles cast of the Colorado river. There is fine ten stamp mill, just built by Mir Robert Stein, on the edge of the town, which will soon make its first run on Greenwood pre-

The population of the place is about three hundred, and is rapidly increasing. from California, Nevada. Utah. Idaho, Colorado, New Mexico and the East To-day, when we had finished our break fast, which ''Napoleon's cousnn had prepared for us we saw at least twenty men buys stalking off town lots. Everybody seems 10 be busy in these parts. It reminds one of early days in California to witness the flour ishing condition of things in Greenwood City. We are more than pleased with the prospects of this section of our Territory. Its vast mineral and agricultural resources cannot remain dormant much longer.
