| AE-. EditOr:-
 We are much pleased with the SENTINEL and depend upon its weekly arrival for our stock of Yuma county news.
 1 rained and showed all night last night, and the hills around here are white with snow this morning; it makes me feel cold to even look at them. There were two inches of snow a. the Silver King mine this morning.
 Mir. Copeland and employees have been here nearly two weeks, experimenting on the ore and de6riS of the old Silver King dumps, trying to find out the best way of saving the rich chlOrides, which are mingled all through even inc dirt, from around the dumps. He finds that 90 per cent of them can be saved by first sluicing and then banning them out afterwards it looks like slow way of treating them, but it is very thorough, and ten men can pan out over ton a day, which pays big. ThIs work reminds me Of the old times in the placers of California, although silver is pann- ed here instead Of gold.
 From the King mine they are now taking out the most beautiful ore l ever saw, and plenty of it: the most ohowy ruby silver now comes from here, that perhaps has ever been seen on the Pacific Coast. Mir. Mason, the Superin- tendent, gave me a little speci- men, which 1 send you. ct is very hGe-call and see it-ED.)
 Two saloons have been started at the mine this week. They have no graveyard yet, but 1 think vii! soon start one now.
 Charles Nhitlow has struck a ledge about three miles up the Creek from here, that assays thir- ty per cent in copper and "away up" in silver: he is now running in a tunnel to cut the ledge twen- ty feet below the surface. Every one that has seen it says it will prove to be a big mine.
 Mr. Copeland just now brought in piece of float weighing about twenty five pounds, which is full of horn silver; he picked 1t up in the bottom of the Creek witain 200 yards of here, and is now roasting a piece Of it.
 This whole district seems to be impregnated with metal ard per- fectly mar6led" with seams and ledges: wherever the soil is stirred, silver appears in quantity more or less appreciable.
 
 George Bryant (formerly of Yu. maj Is now experimenting the Athens. He is sinking shaft that adds to the visible value Of the mine at every inch gained.
 Mir. Powers is having @ deep shaft sunk on the South Extension of he Silver King, which he is col dent will prove this property .oeo Il the original location. He $ n1W t San Francisco on bus;- -es- 0. a.s company, whose stock Atear Is iii great demand there;
