hlNEhab I AfNhf EDITOR CITIZEN :-The mill of the
 Mineral Park Milling Company, will
 start the first of next week. 1 have
 seen some of the most complete quartz
 mills on the coast, lut l think this su-
 perior to any of then All the machin-
 cry is new and of the very best materi-
 al and workmanship. The battery,
 pans, and furnace, &c., are such as to
 delight the eye of the practical mill
 man, and they have been set up in a
 manner that could not be surpassed
 MT. Chase, the engmeer, who has had
 charge of the work, nay we'll feel proud
 of his success.
 The Keystone Mining company have imported a lot of Cornish miners and
 have resumed work on their mine. A
 veritable bonanza of ruby silver ore
 was struck few days ago on one of
 the lower levels of this claim and they are now hoisting out large quantities of very rich rock. The Keystone is owned mostly by San Francisco parties. A short time since the blacksmith shop was burned, resulting in loss of sev- eral hundred dollars.
 You have before this doubtless heard of the death of Judge A. C. Haskell. He had been resident of this county over twelve years, and was highly esteemed by all who knew him. The community and county have met with loss in Judge HaSkelps death not easily repaired His funeral, on January :, was attended by almost the entire population of Mineral Park, with many from Cerbat, Chloride, and the surrounding country. His brother odd-fellows took charge of the funeral
 A terrible murder was committed at Camp MUhave a short time since. A soldier, named Richard Lawlor, was beaten to death with stones. Three soldiers, James Hussey, James Malone and Leopold Eth, have been arrested and were committed by Jusuce Well bourne of this place on the 10th instant. The evidence against these men IS very slight. They have been confined at Fort Mohave as we have no jail in the county.
 Michael De Kay was hung in CerbatI on the 14th, for the murder of his wife. This was the first execution in MOhaveI county, although there are others who should have been hung long ago, if justice were done them.
 The board of supervisors for this county met on January 15. The report of the county treasurer, Wm. Cory, shows that there are over 5000 in the treasury. The finances are in every respect in a better condition than at any time in our history. A sinking fund has been created for the payment of the county debt. Whatever may have been the delinquencies of former supervisors, the present board are cer- tainly trying to do their duty. E. H. Mcdaniel has resigned the office off district attorney, and A. E. Davis isl appointed in his stead. Meanwhile Mchave county is fast increasing inl and very soon her three silver mills will be turning out their tons of rich bullion, and people out side will begin to realize that Nevada is not the only part of the coast where there are silver mines that will pay The sound of the pick and shovel, the drill and blast, echo through the hills, and the cheery face of the miner shows that he at least thinks the long hoped for day is at hand. The farmer too looks ! pleased, for rains have been plentiful and crops are assured. Arizona will vet prove herself the new Fl Dorado of the west, and soon take her place among the great mineral bearing dis tricts of the Union. w.
