W. J. Simmons was in on "Wednesday from working on the pack-trail Co the Peck mine, and informs us that it is now quite a good trail as compared with what it was be- fore, and he apprehends no difficulty in de- livering the 200 tons 10 the Aztlan mill as fast as they want it. The route by way of the East Hassayampa and the Crook mill is decided improvement on the old route over Mount Union, or the Home-stake Trail. The dividei between East Hassayampa and Turkey Creek is comparatively easy to pack over, though Bill thinks it will be some time yet before the ears will be running, even on that line, good as it is.

We learn that $. O. Frederick has been qui,e successful in working his base gold ores by the dry crushing and barrel process. Ores, which in pulp, sample sl25 per ton, yield by this process one hundred dollars; being so per cent. of the assay, which is not very bad even for free ores. From forty to fifty per cent. has been as close as he has ever been able to work these sulphuret ores, even the least refractory, by the copper-l ate process, and yet it has paid handsomely, which should encourage him to hope for magnificent results when he gets the barrel process fully under way on a sufficiently ex- tensiye scale Mir. Frederick will leave to- morrow for San Francisco with the purpose of procuring complete apparatus for dry crushing, barrel amalgamalion and galvan- ized copper settlers
