Mining Items.

EDITOR MINER In receat trip to some of the mines East of Prescott, found great activity in mining and prospecting
 On the Big Bug, there was plenty of wa ter for placer miners. MT. Hitchcock has his 1O-stamp mill in operation. He has 400 tons of ore mined, and everything working to his satisfaction.
 At the Peck District, force of men were getting out lumber for building purposes. Several buildings have already been erected, and permanent improvements seem to be the order of the day. The main shaft of the Peck mine is down over 100 feet, and the lode is improving in width and of the same high grade ore.
 The Silver Prince, owned by Mess. Tough telin x Curtin, has been opened in seven diff ferent places in a distance of twelve hundred feet, showing a good sized lode of first-class ore the whole distance. The quality and amount of ore exposed ranks this mine with the best in the Territory. The Black War rior-first extension south-owned by Messrs f1OugUtclll, Sinltu W DuttIlCh, sIo"s oiA feet in width of first-class ore, and the indi- cations are very favorable for a frst-class mine. Several other extensions show the same character of ore. Further rich devel opments may be expected from this lode. With ample milling facilities, an immense amount of wealth would flow from this dis trict.
 In winding around the rugged mountains and dizzy heights, the fact is brought home to the mind that Nature places her precious metals in her widest and most inaccessible retreats. This, however, serves to stimulate and develop some of the higher qualities of man; for right here, drawing forth the hid den treasures of nature, we find the most en- terprising and energetic of men.
 As far as my observations extended, the mining outlook for the coming season is full of encouragement. H. G. BALLoU.

MoHAvE ITEMS

The following items are furnished by our Mineral Park correspondent, of the e6thinst:
 The public school was started on the 21st inst MT. R R Banlsee formerly of Wiscon- sin, is teacher.
 Washington's Birthday was celebrated in grand style here, and also combining with it the opening of the new mill. and the birth day of Mir Chase. the able and energetic engineer. to whose skill we owe it that Mine ral Park now possesses the most complete silver-reduction mill on the Coast. Early in the evening of the TwentySecond the peo- pie began to gather at the mill, and soon the building was crowded with ladies Gn full toilette,) and gentlemen. Esg-nogg and champagne flowed freely, and soon all were feeling in excellent spirits. Speeches were made. songs were sung and general hilarity prevailed. As part of the celebration the first bar of bullion was cast-frOm Keystone ore,-weighing considerably over 100 pounds, and worth in the neighborhood of $l,60O. About o'clock M all retired from the mill to the hall of Jas F. Bull, Esq, where dancing was now in progress, and kept up without intermission until near dawn. Mineral Park never enjoyed more sociable and pleasant time. There were a number of drunks, but the best of nature and good feeling prevailed throughout.
 A nightor two since, man, named Pinney, drew shotgun on Robert Mara, in Whites saloon. X general stampede was the result, as the saloon was full of men. No damage done.
 People keep coming in every day.
 The Keystone mine is still holding its own. The most of the miners employed here are Cornishmen, and every blackboard drops two or three more of the same class. MT. James Pheeby, formerly of Idaho, is foreman of the Keystone.
 Every day it becomes more and more evi- dent that Mohave county, and especially Mineral Park, cannot do much longer with out a jail. The County has paid out more for the keeping of prisoners than would have built a good prison and all the ex- penses of keeping it. The Supervisors will doubtless take some action in the matter at their next meeting.

THE TELEGRAPH IN TowN.-Elsewhere we publish the answer of Lieut.. Reade to the Mayor, Citizens and Military officers with reference to the establishment of tele- graph office in Prescott. It seems from his answer that the only thing in the way is the want of an operator, and that under the Sig nal Service regulations the entire number all lowed them are already employed elsewhere and heis debarred from employing civilians. It seems to us that if it were shown to old probabilities, or who ever has the supreme direction ofthis service, that the establishment of an office in Prescott would increase the receipts of the line more than enough to pay a civilian operator, and that there are a number of efficient men here ready and will ling to be employed, that order might be,re- versed and this people accommodated.

THE DIFFERESCE.-Both the Oakland (Cal) Tribune and Transcript have pub lished for fact, which is not fact, that F. w. Blake, formerly of Oakland, had been robbed of $1000, in Prescott. Know ye, therefore, that there are two stage offices in Prescott-the California and Arizona Stage O., of which F. J. Starke was Agent at the time of the robbery, and E. s. Seed is now Agent, and the Arizona and New Mexico Express O., of which F. W. Blake is Agent, and that it was the c. and A. O., Starke, Agt,, that was robbed, and not the A. and N. M. O., Blake, Ag't.

The butter contract advertised for by the Com missary Department at Fort Whippc has been awarded to Hon. L. A. Stevens, in quantities oi one thousand pounds per month, at the rate ol sixty cents per pound. Mir. Stevens has am pie facilities for making much large, quantities, and bis contract will not materially interfere with his furnishing bis town customers.
 Yavapai is the "Orange County" of Arizona, so far as butter making is concerned Mir. and Mrs. Stevens stand head Mir. and Mrs. Geo. Banghart Mir. and Mrs. Zimmerman and dozens of others are engaged ia the business, all making an srti- cle that will compare favorably with the far famed "Gosheu."

FAILED TO RECEIVE IT.-Some time last week, we understand, the telegraph reported the sudden death of Chief Engineer Phelps of the s. P. R. R. somewhere between Phe- nix and Yuma, but for some reason or other we received no report that day, and have not yet heard except from rumor any of the facts connected with his death. Officers of the army tell us that the report was read in the club room, but further than that no one seems to know what became of it. Such Oc- currences, while they do not attach blame to any particular parties, are very annoying to us, who desire to lay the latest news before our readers, and afford another argument in favor of an office in town.

LUKE & Co.'S. MuL.-This mill in Brad shaw, the starting of which we mentioned a week or two ago only ran short time until several defects in the machinery were dis covered which had to be remidied and con- sequently they shut down and went at it. The forty foot water wheel in the first place threw water onto the belting, this has been remidied by boarding up between the wheel and other machinery, and other necessary changes have been made. Messrs. Roach and Spaulding have been in town during the week and say everything will be ready and they will start up again on Monday. They are confident that everything is all right now and that the ore is rich and plcn- tiful. They now have out over 200 tons, 100 of which is at the mill. Roach feels conf dent of bringing in $500 from the first clean up which will be before great while.

GIVE IT UP.--Several of our friends have quizzed us as to the significance of the fol- lowing paragraph which we clip from the Citizen of the e6th of Feb. We have heard of unanswerable arguments, invisible points and incomprehensible considerations of un- fortuitous circumstances. Perhaps this Is one of those:
 sItis shameful fact probably not known to the world at largs, that the. great Terri tory. of Arizona, with an area of 1lS,000 square miles, including standing room for fhs editor of the ARIZONA NuK1, has not hitherto hsd solitary head of camels, within its confines At least the superintendent of Wells Fargo q O., dosent make any men tion of such an animal (the camel, not the editor of the MINER) in his late report- And he ought to known, as his company hssrof6ces in Oregon" o4

GRAVE AND GAY.-During the continuance of the protracted meeting, the ministers and ex' horting brethren have been earnest, zealous, efo- quent and anxious for the conversion of souls, and have been blessed with more than ordinary success in the addition Of sixteen to the Church and the awakening of a religious sentiment in many others but while this has been so, we have been mortified al the spectacle of others who went merely to scof and have fun. and this charge cannot be confined to persons of the male sex. Shall we say that we witnessed during the revival the blooming maiden, upon whose face smiles danced like suubeams on lte bosom of the sea, and whose life gave promise of happiness unalloyed or hope unrequii.ed, sitting with 6 huge wad of gum in her mouth, and her beauti- full chin rising and falling like wave on the ocean, while the meek pastor eudeasored to point her to the New Jerusalem.

LEAP YEAR PARrr.-The party at the resi- dence of Judge H. H. Cartier, last Tuesday even ing, being the 29th day of February, was an ele- gant affair, and enjoyed accordingly by the many participants. According to time-honored cus- tom the ladies' prerogative was entirely indulged and delightfully."- sustained. The ladies had called upon the favored of their gentlemen friends and escorted them to the scene of enjoyment with a care seldom displayed by the opposite sex upon other and more general occasions. The best of music had been secured for the occasion and dan cing was kept up until supper, which was served in elegant style and consisted of oountiful sup ply of the most delicious ediblcs, champage, etc., after which. dancing was resumed with new ,vigor, until the wee hours of morn warned the fair ones of their responsibility, and reluctantly they escorted their respective charges to their places of abode.

THE TELEGRAPH BUSINESS.
Letter from the superintendent of the Line.I

SANTA FE, N M, Feb. II, 1876. Hon. Geo. D. Kendall, Mayor cf Prescott: srR-I am in receipt of petition, signed by Messrs. L. Bashford < Go, c. F. Head < Co. and many citizens of Prescott; am also in receipt of your letter and of telegram from Gen. Kautz. all of which request the ioca- ton of telegraph office at Prescott.
 I heartily concur in all that you write re- gar,iing the advisability, convenience. policy and economy of the move suggested, and have long since solicited an increase of force sufficient to enable me to open an office at Prescott, but have fewer operators at my disposal now than on the day that assumed the discharge of my present duties, whereas the amount of telegraph line in Arizona and New Mexico is constantly increasing.
 Tn the event of sickness, discharge, mis- conduct or death of any one of the present operators, have not substitute who could be assigned to the vacancy. Have thought of breaking up some one of the small offices, but to so do would open long stretch of line to danger of interruption, without hay ing an office within reasonable distance from which to repair the fault.
 am debarred hiring civilians: the in creasing drain upon the 375 men composing the Signal Service has rendered an increase of my force impossible, but assure you, Sir, that will do all in my power to oblige the citizens whom you represent. and to that end have transmitted the petition to Wash ington urging my military superiors to cir cumstance me to comply herewith.
 Very respectfully, your ob'd't serv't,
 PHILIP REApE,
 Lieut. and Acting Signal OMcer inCharge.

Bradford's team brought for Ben Weaver a load of groceries, liquors, clothing, boots shoes, etc. from Colton, and unloaded on Wednesday. These goods have been lying at the end of the railroad since early in October. Another lot or dered shipped to Ehrenberg was sent to Los Angeles. On being advised of the fact, Ben or dered the goods sent round to Ehrenberg, ard the next be heard of them they were at San Diego. He then ordered them sent by team to Yuma and thence by steamer to Ehrenberg. He now has renewed hope of receiving them some time next Spring, but the frieght bill ou them will probably overbalanco any profit he can hope to make

TERRITORIAL.

Florence, Feb. 25.-To-day Lazy Bob mine turned out 235 pounds of ore yielding 232 ounces of silver. We believe mill properly placed and worked would make these discoveries a grand investment; even now it pays miners to send ore to San Fran cisco. As wood and water is plenty, a mill should pay large percentage over cost of working it. The sale of the King mine has not been affected but the owners feel well contented that their proposal was not accep- ted.

THE A. X N. NJ. Express Go. have returned to the new road over the Granite range and are now running direct across the mountain. This gives them back their six horse teams, which being cut up in order 10 make another station or two on the Mint Valley route has only allowed them four horse stock.
