EHRENBERG. April 30, 1877.

the merry music of their anvils is accompanied by the more or less harmonious humping going on around the boilers of the two steamboats lying here. The streets near the river are blocked up with
 wagons and mules. The levee is piled with freight being discharg. ed from Barge No. 1, which a string of men is packing, into the c. s. N. Co.'S. warehouse, bars of base bullion brought down from
 up river by the Cocopah. The GiIa arrived here yesterday noon.
 from Yuma and the Cocopah got in here in the afternoon from El Dorado caIiOn: the Mohave is now looked for hourly and on her arri.
 val, the levee can boast of three steamboats and three barges tied
 up here at one time. Thirteen
 tons of ore are here awaiting ship.
 ment: they are from the celebrat. ed Apache chief mine, which
 caused so much excitement in Ca lifornia twelve years ago. It is a rich copper ore, carrying much
 gold and silver. New men are taking hold of this mine and their future operations will be deter mined by the returns from this shipment. Tom Goodman has bought from B. F. Snyder the ranch formerly occupied by Tom BldWell steam engine and all.
 GoOdman's ferry boat seems to be at work all the time, crossing emigrants and freight teams. Judging from the number of the latter, there must be shipped into
 northern Arizona twice as much
 freight by rail and teams, as comes by steamer. J. Nj. Bryan proposes to leave Ehrenberg, after hanling away the freight now here, and to take his teams to the McCrackin mine, where he will have large contracts to haul ore to mill. The levee is strewn with
 the machinery shipped.here last month for the Black Warrior mine. On reaching here, it was for a while held for freight bills; finally this difficulty was removed, and now it is detained under instruc- tiOns from the shippers, the orig inal purchase money not having been paid. The chief credit of this Black Warrior enterprise seems to have been given to MT. $. M. Vessels whose star has not been lucky ore in Arizona. Last year he brought in fine smelt- ing furnace, which was erected near Walnut Grove, under the auspices of the Pinal G. & s. M. Co. |: the furnace lies idle and the memory of the Pinal G. & M. Go. is only kept green by the curses of creditors and by legal adver- tisements in the Yavapai neWspa. pers. Now here lies the Black Warrior Mill-in every respect a perfect machine-only awaiting animation by being brought under the influence of better luck. Ru- nor has it, that another company is negotiating for it and will soon remove it to a more lucrative field, than is afforded by the Ehrenberg levee. c. W. c. Ro- we'll is looked for daily, to see about his train, now held under attachment. Wm. Finkler goes down to Yuma soon, to take pO- |'sitiOn as guard in the peniten- tiary. Ehrenberg is just now the most fortunate place in Arizona in regard to mail facilities, receiv- ing mails twice week from up and down the river and every other day from California and the interior; papers and letters com- ing here regularly in three days time from San Francisco. It is quite place for news, but for ru- na0rs it is "chief." Among these is one, that Stewart & PiersOn
