RICH SILVER MINES.

TIP Tor.--Again and again arc we favored with good news from the different mines surrounding Us. In some instances almost pure silver has been found, and rock worth thousands of dollars per ton is being taken cut of the numerous mines which, for, want of machinery, with which to wcrk it, is piled upon the dumps, at the different mines, there to await the arrival oi machinery for its reduction. But when such ore iS extracted aS that recently taken from the Tip Top, il causes more than gen. cral remark and wonder NIT. n. ( ThornC of the Cabinet, one of the lucky owners in inc above mine, was the recipient. yester- day. of sample of rich ore from that mine, which shows flakes of pure horn sil- Yer aS large as q mans hand and worth probably S2o.000 per ton. The Tip Top has been improving in quality and quantity since work was first commenced oE 1t, and the same can he said of all the mines in Humbug district. The happy owners al ihis mine will hardly need machinery for the working of its ores should it continue io improve. aS work progresses, for th, simple reason they will be taking out or, almost as pure a. the metallic substance itself.
 ZAiIpA.-ThiS mine which was recently discovered. six miles east of Prescott, neal Lynx Creek hy Mcssrs. Moves, Kelly ana Day, is the general topic of conversation amongst mining men and citizens generally The work thus far cannot be considered as anything worthy of note. On the surface before any work was done, NIT. Kelly the aSsavcr and nac of the owncr~ made test of the ore and found it contained s245 to the ton aud after sinking d shaft \ feet found their best ore worth S6000. The company have continued sinking on their shaft and yesterday as a messenger left the mine, il was down thirteen feet and showed pure horn silver in flakes aS thick as silver dollars and worth double their last assay. which would bring II pp to sl2,o00. MT Kelly kas made up his mind that he k the lucky owner iu mine which should bc called ''busineS>." nr. Day has procured several pairs of cor>ctS, which hc intends to put nn the owners of tki> mine and cause them to be laced up tightly otherwise they might burst open. Adjacent to the Zalida. ". ]. Howard oens i.Joa feet of very val uablc ground. ard aJjoining his. II. R. MuT- ray owns 1,a00 feet more. The northwest extension of 1.500 fyct k owned by the Hon. Thomas Fitch aHd Judge Howard and the supposition is from suriace indication. that their claim iS valuable. Northwest from the Zaiida has lwcu discovered lead x feet wide which assays well and k called the Cora, located by Wm N. Kelly and C. W. Beach still to ihc north of the Cora has been found B different lead entirely from the Cora and Zalidla, which k named the Miriam and k o~ucd ly Kelly, Day and Moves. All ot these leads are in the same vicinity of the ZaIida. but no work h1> been done on any other than the Zalida. therefore hut little can he said other than that they look well on the surface. and have every indication cf being good.

 EDITOR MINER:-I arrived here on Mon day by rail from Pilot Knob-nine or ten miles from Yuma. Nothing remarkable occurred by the way that could interest the readers of the MINER. At Los Angeles I overlook party that had been to Yuma. on tour of inspection, among whom were CongreSSmen Page and Pachcco. and II. l. Mchusick, superintendent of railway ser vice on this place. made it my business to tell them all | knew about our want of mall facilities, in which Page and McKu- sick seemed to take an especial interest Page assured me that in every case where increased mail service was asked for the frontier, he had, and always would, do all he could to favor it, that his own frontier residence tor so many years had taught him that as general rule, new countries did not get their share of the postal service, etc.
 He also assured me that Gov. Mccormick Is doing and can do more for Arizona than all the rest of the Representatives, in Con- gross or out, and that his influence should be sought, in order to be successful.
 NIT. MckuSick intends to visit Prescott during the present summer, to inform him. self more fully; and as l shall probably re- turn in July, he has expressed desire to accompany me, in order 10 have some one with him who has a knowledge of the country l have been particular to point out to the gentlemen the great want of mail service in Mohavc county, and the fact that daily mail from the railroad to Prescott is particularly needed. if for no other reason, because of the great weight of the mails that accumulate and detain the stages MT McCusick appeared to be fayorablv i'm pressed with the idea of through daily | line from Dos Palms to Sata Fe. via Ehren- berg. Prescott, Albuquerque, etc.
 The papers and telegraph will have told you all about the depression in business here. IL is really the blucst time San Fran cisco has ever seen. have been over to the City three times, and was glad to get away | IL really almost makes me sick to see so many gloomy countcnanccS; men who con sidered themselves rich when arrived here four days ago, are pauperS to-day. in con sequence of the decline in stocks. Old familiar faces that one has been accustomed to meet on California street for wears and who always had cheerful word of greeting now pass without even looking up; and have noticed that many of them are mum bling over something to themselves. or counting their losses on their fingers, per i tectly oblivious to the fact that there is any body present but themselves saw Ed Peck yesterday, and he i, in doubt about the sale of their mine, and seems to be per fectly indifferent a> to whether they raise the money or not.
