 The same gentlemen exhibited to us
 plate of almost pure silver, GAS ozs)
 which Messrs. Mulvenon & Roach extract.
 ed from ore taken out of the Oriental mine
 -(Gen. Kautz's) Peck lode.
 They furthermore authorized us to state
 that they, in October last, shipped over
 $40,000 in silver to parties in San Fran cisco.
 We had almost neglected to state that
 9Iulvennon & Roach have leased the Orien- like the following conditions: They, NJ. &
 R., are to sink a 2U0-foot shaft and run two
 levels, one of which is to be 30 feet long,
 the other, 100, in payment for which work
 they are to have all ores that may be ex-
 tracted.
 The Peck Mining Company filed articles
 of incorporation, on the 9th inst. Capital
 stock $1,O0O,OO0; 100000 shares, at s1O each. Time incorporated for, fifty years.
 Name of trustees appeared in last Satur-
 days daily.
 MT. H. P Sontag returned home recently from Walnut Grove, and informs us that everything down there smelled of successful mining and smeiting. Fire was started in
 the furnace early yesterday. The company
 will first treat ores from their own mine,- the Crescent, which is said to be very rich in silver, lead and other metals.
 The firm of c. P. Head tS O., took in,
 last week, over 200 ounces of gold bullion, principally from the Senator mine & mill, on
 the Hassayampa. Elliott & Rice, and D. K. Poland, of Walker district, turned in considerable Tine Aztlan mill has just finished working about 51s tons of Silver ' Prince ore, from which big results may be
 expected.
 The same mill will shortly work up some rich silver ore belonging to D. c. Moreland, who has taken said orc out of one of his claims in Bradshaw District
 The largest nugget of the season was brought here day or two ago, by John Bross, who recently picked it up in his placer claim on Hassayampa Creek. This nugget, or piece of gold and quartz, weighs, exactly, $302.5O. A look at it would make l greenhorn's mouth water. When it is known that this big piece was found in Creek that has been worked since 1863, the | fact that our surface gold diggings are not worked out, will hardly be gainsayed. Mir Bross says that his brother miners on the Hassayampa are now, and have been, doing firstr ate.
 gentleman who has taken a deep inter- est in mines and mining, has prepared and handed us the following, which we very will lingly print
 "The Victorine gold bearing ledge, loca- ted some seven miles from Prescott former ly owned by MT. Willis, now under the control of Messrs Pettibone and Reyes, bids fair to develop into one of the richest mines in the Territory. Dr. Day ,who was in the shaft of the mine, yesterday, brought in several rich pieces of ore, that he picked , up without selection at a depth of over 70 f feet, which shows wire gold.in considerable , quantities. He also saw banned from a very S small quantity of decomposed quartz, gold q sufficient to make ton of the dirt worth f thousands of dollars. The ore is to be worked at the Aztlan Mill and also with q arastras now in operation near the mine." f Messrs. John Raible and C. A. Luke have just returned from Goodwin district, They visited the Silver Belt, Silver Flake, n Kit Carson and Oversight mines and W are highly pleased with what they saw. O The Flake has 70 ft. shaft and fine body e, of ore. The shaft is we'll timbered. The 1T Belt and Carson are both prospected by n shafts; their ores are very rich in silver IT Mir. Raible has given us piece of Kit Car c, son ore, which makes a very fine exhibition q of silver. They tell ua that they drove up to all these mines in their buggy, which ID goes to show that the roads in that district are good, else the buggy, with our ponder F ous friend Raible on board, would have |, ,uccumbed. :, Charles Stewart of Black Canon district, b ;aled at this office this forenoon and inform to d us that the Tiptop lode of his district n. ooks very promising. It is pretty we'll a ,rospected by shafts. A tunnel will soon to pc completed, which will strike the vein at L.
  ace. The richest ore now at the bottom of. m he Company's 100-foot shaft is about one ne oot in thickness wi Mr- Wm. Leet an old Nevada miner, was tn ere recently. He had been to Tucson, cl. lima County, and Globe district, Pinal m >ounty. At the latter place, he found tn 'alph Rogers, mining expert who was bi! ere last Summer. na ourold friend and associate, Col. H. A. Bge- a I w, startled us this morning with an exhibit in ores from the Sumner Lode which is sit- cis ated near the head of Crook Gulch, Has, e,;x lyampa District. The Colonel called the wh e from his mine "micaceous iron," but we ba, 'efer tocall it micaceous silver and gold, the r there was absolutely more silver and ana i'd in the specimen shown us than iron.
