MINES OF ARIZONA.

From NIT. Ike Bradshaw, an old expert
 enced miner who came to Arizona, in com
 pany with his brother. after whom the ia
 nous Bradshaw Mountain was named. and John Tatman. the man who never "CitS," in
 the Summer of 1863, We have elicited the
 following reliable information in regard to
 our mining prospects and future outlook The King, in Pinal county, owned by Bar
 nev X Reagan. Is down lSO feet. and a large mass of ore. the same as that found on the
 surface. continues to exist, which averages, good and had $500 to the ton. Ccncentra-
 ton works arc being erected for the reduc- : ton ot the King ore preparatory to ship
 ing the same to san Francisco. The real
 worth of this mine k hard to determine, but enough is in sight at present to justify the
 assertion that it runs into the millions Again. an the south King three shafts have been sunk to depth of % iee, each displaying a ledge ot well defined proper ties. and the ore equal to that of the or.yi-
 nal King.
 Thirty-two miles nor,hcaS, from the
 King k situate the Globe dj>tric,. which
 contains many leads of wonderful richness
 Probably first among these might hc mc3- toned the McMuiIca. which k being work ed successfully in 5-Stamp mil which has
 been erected at the miuc They have a shaft on th;s lead 60 fee, deep aud the ore k of character that would dazzle the eyes of even the old a9-ers who are u~ct Co all kinds of mining. Globe City i> hcrc locl- ied and hcS population ot some goo sous. contains Storc>. saloons. hvery->i.h.c.. etc. and k, taNe it all ia all, quite lively iowa.
 Ten miles farther north and ,as. i- tl, Rchland Basin, where the noted McMorris lead exists, which is paying all the way from Sl,o00 to Sl4,00O per ton. The lead IS 2i feet wide with we'll defined walls. and has every indication of being perma- nent lead. The owners are now in San Francisco with several tons of the richest ore, which il is believed will pay Sl2,OO0to the ton.
 Cave Creek, north from Camp Mcdowell and south of the Bradshaw. has large number of gold leads, all of which arc be- ing developed. Some have shafts sunk lS0 feet deep, and the showing Is flattcring. Messrs. Hellings N Veil have 8 good lead in Ihs district, and are about to erect a small mill at their mine
 In Old Bradshaw work iS heinz done on all the leads, and as work progresses the leads show to be of permanent character and the utmost confidence k felt by the owners tha; the day is dawnins when Brad ! shaw will become another ComStock. On the Tiger, War Eagle, Gray Eagle, Lnrcno. 1 Cougar, Eclipse, and the hundreds of other leads work k being prosecuted and much 1 valuable ore k being piled upon the dumps l at the different mines, awaiting the advent | ot machinery wherewith to reduce and Sepa- | rate the valuable metal from lhc yalueless | rock and dirt.
 In the Peck district great activity pre- vails, and an idle man is looked upon as kind of curiosity. The Peck mine is ac- to be the best 50 fur aS diScov- | cred in the Territory, and the Sicld iS per tectly astonishing. Thousands upon thov- sands Of dollars are being shipped monthly | 10 California from this grand old mine
 In Turkey Creek district the same inter | est is being displayed in developing the | rich deposits of silver which exist ir the ! Peck district The tirle is not far dista.t when Turkey Creek will be turning out bullion that will undoubtedly astoni,h some of the non-bclicvcrs
 Closer at home we have the Zalida. in ! Lynx Geek District, 8 comparatively new . lead, but one that bids fair 10 cope with l such mines as the Peek. King, Tiger and , others. The Miriam is also attracting much attention and is thought to be a true ! vein and one of great richness. The Cum berland also bids fair 10 become good | lead. In fact We cannot turn our eyes in | any direction but what they look out in the | of the hills which contain wealth of untold magnitude now being grapplcd . for by the hardy, industrious miner
