ONLY A PARTIAL. EXHIBIT.
 The Mining and Scientific Press, of san Francisco, in its iSsus of Jan. goth, has rather an exhaustive review of mining mat ters all along the line, but if the figures given for other States and Territories are as partial and incomplete ss those set down for Arzons, it will tend rather to lead peo- pie astray than to inform them on this i'm portant subject.
 The paragraph devoted to Arizona is well enough in the main, until it comes to giving figures, when it is something like the play of Hamlet with Hamlet left out Here is what Is said of Arizona:
 The main industry of Arizona is mining and she has within her borders fine mines of gold, silver. copper. lead. iron and coal. Her mines have not been developed to any eN- tent, however, for various reasons. Now. however, that the southern Pacific Railroad will soon reach her borders, they all hope and reasonably expect an awakening Of the mining interests. Judging from the quality of the ore shipped from there here occasion ally, she has the richest ore of any section of the tmon. Several new districts have been opened this year, prominent among which IS Globe, which we recently described m an extended article. The Territory k in need of reduction works and means of transporta- ton, and our capitalists will find a rich har- vest if they turn their attention that way. Arizona will, before long, be one of the prin- cipal if not the principal bullion producing regions of the United States. Only capital is necessary 10 develope the resources. as the mines are good and ore rich. We look for greatly increased returns from there this year in view of better means Of transporta- lion and more facilities for mining. The fol- lowing figures show the product of some of the principal Arizona mines:

 \ glance at the above exhibit will show every one, at all acquainted with tho mines of Arizona, that the compiler either purposely or ignorantly left out, not only the largest producing mine in the Territory but one of the best known in mining circles. from the regularity of is shipments of bullion aS we'll as the frequent and regular reports published in the local papers, both of which reach the office of the Press once a week. The Peck mine of which no account is talk en in the figures given above, has within the past year, ss appears from the books, which through the politeno,s of F. W. Blake, Sec retary of the Company, We have been per mitted to copy, produced $l45,139.6O. And of this amount $l14.262 SS have been pro- duced since the first of September last, as mp to that time the company had no mill and the ores had 10 be shipped 10 San Fran cisco or sold here at a sacrifice. consequently there was no incentive to vigorous prose cution of the work until that time, in fact il may be said that nearly all this ore has been taken out and bullion produced within the past nine months, as up 10 April lst only S,220.94 worth of orc had been sold. leav- Ing SlSl .92S .46 as the product Of the mine since April lst 1876.
 The Peck is not the only mine left out in the cold, several of which have produced quite largely during the year. The Silver  Prince has shipped extensively 10 San Fran cisco, where the figures could no doubt be easily come at. The Accidental, on Lynx Creek, has taken out many thousands, and the Senator has yielded over 1000 during the year The Kit Carson, Silver Flake and other locations on the Agua Fria ledge are constantly making large shipments of base bullion. The Goodwin & Mckinnon, or Coe mine, has been producing gold bull lion in considerable amount within the year Then no mention is made of the mines south of Tucson, or smiths near Wickenbgrg, the Rowe near Phoenix. Gas tle Dome, Black Canyon, and hundreds of others that we have not time now 10 emu merate.
