GOLD FIELDS OF M,RroorA COUNT,

We were introcuccd, yesterday, to Mir C. C. Eyster a resident of Maricopa County who is extensively engaged m mining, etc, near Cave Creek, 15 miles north of Camp Mcdowell, and elicited from him the fol- lowing mining news;
 THE LION,
 Owned by Wm Rowe, situate eight miles from Cave Creek. has been worked for the last two wears steadily, and has paid Its owner. an average ofSlO0 to the ton. The vein is two feet wide. with we'll defined walls. Several shafts have been sunk on the lead at different places, and each shows ore of the same character free from sulphu- rcts1, and of even richness. The owner has two rastras which he keeps running steadily. .tnd by constant energy, and the even rich 1lesS of the ore, has accumulated several thousand dollars. Mr Rowe emigrated to fhis country at an early day, and settled on a tract of land near the upper crossing of Salt River, where he resided and fought re- verses, occaSioned by the thieving Apaches, for number of years. Nr. Rowe was in comfortable circumstances when he settled en the land that he thoght was to be com tsrtable and pleasant home for him and his family, but after a series of years struggling against fate. he found himself reduced inan- rlally to a state where man Is really worse Ctf than nothing. About this time NIT. RoVe discovered the Lion" located il, and immedivtely commenced work on the same, and to-day can count his wealth by the thousands.
 RACKINSACk,
 Adjacent 10 the Lion. is another lead that is being worked very successfully. lt pays sqsliy we'll with the Lion, has quite large amount done on it, and the owner Is reducing two and a-half tons of the orc, ina l2-toot rsstra, per rday.
 EXTENSION CT THE LION.
 Dembleby X Cox arc working this mine, having extracted a large amount of orc. and src now erecting a raStra for the reduction cf their ores which pay, by working process, $l30 to the ton. Their deepest shaft is down about 30 feet, and carries its body of ore with equal richness from the surface to fhc bottom of the shaft.
