r,-rkrY cRERK-rHINGs BOOMING.

NIT. Masterson, the owner of the new mill that is now completed, which will com mence operations this weeek, arrived m town. on Monday. We learn from him that steam has been raised, and the whistle sounded. the stamps dropped, and all the machinery moved, clearly demonstrating that everything is complete about the con cern to commence operations Tn earnest this week. Numerous valuable leads grace the hills surrounding this new ore reducer, nnd many tons of rich chlorides lay heaped upon the dumps at the various lodeS which will now be moved in and consigned to the pulverizinc giants that have been placed in the rugged sierra by this enterprising gentleman. The mill, although of small capacjty. is complete and substantial Tn every detail. and we imagine just what most of guartz kings need, for should 1t become necessary, as is many times the case, to re move the machinery to another location, II can much more readily be handled, and a small cost will cover the taking down, re- moving and re-erecting of the same, while the capacity is sufficient to satisfy the de mands made upon moStquaItz mills Ii Kept running steadily. which Is the intention oi 1T. M now stands in princely majesty, surrounded by grand old forest, beneath whose eartl lie hidden the sparkling stones containing gold and silver.
 The machinery is all from the Pacific Iron Works. San Francisco, and IS of the latest and most improved pattern, and so nc curately arranged and fitted, that when the mechanics who superintended the erection of the mill. pronounced the work hnlshed the stamps were dropped, and the machinery put in motion, everything worked like charm. The mill has acapacity ot four tons per day, has No. GO screen, and each stamp weighs $50 pounds, the battery weighing one tom, the engine Is of 20 horse power and the battery so arranged that Tn case the demands upon the mill from tho many mines adjacent, require greater capaclty more stamps can be added with but little eN' pense and trouble. It Is claimed for thlS machinery that it is as durable and ot as fine finish as any that has ever left the city of San Francisco, and is intended as specimen whereby the hundreds ct miners who own extensive mining interests may eN- anime its merits. and fit accomplishes one half what is claimed il will. we doubt not but what hundreds of these bullion produc- ing agencies would be purchased, and erected all over the mountains, as they arc within the reach of every man who has a few tons of good ore. This little mill with Its formidable proportions may be the means of causing a great revolution in the mining camps all over Auzona. The brick work for the boiler and other parts of the build ino was managed in a very satisfactory man ner bv Mcssrs. Longbottom and Joyner, the material being Of a substantial character.
 The wood work was under contract, and executed bv Kirwagen & Co.,, of Prescott their name alone being sufficient to guaran- tee perfect job Mir Fisk, late of Freder- ick's mill. superin;ended the placing of the machinery in position, and his knowledge of that branch of the business enabled him tc to make decided success in the premises
