SILVER TREASURES.

Since our last weeks issue, in which we gave our readers a summary of mining news from the metallic hills in various sec tions of the Territory, we have gleaned the following in regard to the silver treasures
 Within the last four weeks the Peck Com pany have shipped to San Francisco about $30.OO0 in bullion which has been taken out at their Aztlan mill. The amount, how ever. is a triie in comparison to what 1t will be after their new 10-stamp mill shall have been completed and put to its test re- tacing the rich ores from this celebrated mIne.
 We learn from MT Fine that the Doyle mine. in the Peck district, is producing ex- cellent ore, resembling that of the Peck very much. and by some 1t Is claimed to be even richer.
 Sfessrs. McKcnnon and Goodwin are still at work on the 2d extension of the Prince, and have sacked % sacks of the high grade ore, which will work at least S3,O0O to the ion. besides they have many tons of second grade ore. worth $500 per ton.
 The Black Warrior Is now down l5O feet below the surface. and the yield of high grade chloridcs still continues, much of the ore being worth S3 per pound. The owners have contracted with the proprietors of the quartz mill on Turkey Creek for the work in. of 4a tons of their ore, immediately.
 The Tip-top Company have over 100 men employed prospecting their property and preparinw the mill for their machinery, which is now far on the way from the Colo rasio river to its destination; and it is the intention of the stirring managers of this nrnpertv to have the mill in full blast with . inc commencement of the new year, when a new era will be inaugurated in this mining camp that has few equals, and no superiors.
 Tn Bradshaw the mines are receiving due attention. and developments are encour- aging in the main.
 Turkey Creek has its new mill Tn full motion crumbiing the glittering ores from the Goodwin, and the indications are favora ble for7 deserved success. The proprietor MT Masterson, has grappled with the many inconveniences connected with the erection of quartz mill in Arizona with true cour- age and determination that Is certainly commendable.
 In the IIassayampa district, several com panics are continuing the good work of de veloping their many claims, with ordinary success. In every district new discoveries are being made daily, and soon 1t will be difficult 10 find an acre of ground but what is taken up and contains valvable minerals
 From Moiave and Pinal Counties, the news are equally iattering with those oi Yavapai. and we shall be greatly astonished if Arizona, within the next 12 months does not rank foremost of all the territories in the shipment of silver treasure.
