ANOTHER MORMON SETTLEMENT. We are reliably informed that quite a number of Latter Day Saints have moved into Tonto Basin country, about 80 miles south east ot Camp Verde and will there start Mormon colony. They have purchased the interest of MT. W. S. Hill and others to the property known as Round Valley, which k said to be one of the best if not the very best stock ranges in Arizona. At the present time We have several Mormon colonies in the Territory and the people are as industrious and worthy as any like number of citizens belonging to different creeds and denomin- ations reverenced through out the Territory Taking it for granted, that those constitut- ing the settlement of the new colony. where formerly old Big Rump reigned supreme. are equally worthy. with their brethcrn. in other localities, we consider the acquisition a oOOd one.

Col. Wood came up from the Kit Carson to-day bringing some samples of fine car bonate and chloride ores, a considerable body of which they have struck in the south shaft at a depth of twenty-five feet cores bonding exactly in quality with that found in the north shaft, and which proved to be the easiest orc worked of any ever taken to to the Agua Fria Shelter.
 The owners of the Kit Carson are now certain of large body of ore, extending from one shaft to the other, that will work several hundreds oi dollars to the ton, and extending southwark, no one knows how far; but in as much as the same character of croppings are found on the hill beyond their claim there is no reason to doubt that Ihe whole fifteen hundred feet of the claim is equally rich
