McMILLEN CAMP.
Interesting Correspondence - 300 Inhabitants-StiH They Come Mines, Stores and HabitatIOns-

MCMILLEN CAMP, GLOBE DISTRICT.
 November 12, 1877. According to promise, drop you a line concerning this camp and vicinity. First, but not least, MT. Blaisdel, United States Mail Agent, has promised us a tri-weekly mail just as soon as it is pos sible to move the wheels of govern ment, &c. This is badly needed. Our camp now contains a population of at least 300 souls, within a radius of a mIle square. Buildings springlng up like mushrooms, the necessary amount .Ol saloons, three blacksmith shops, one carpenter shop, one bakery, two stores with good stocks of goods, one barber shop, Shop in the brush at present.) Faro banks and everything else to con. stitute a frstclass town. As to the mines, they have never looked so prom ising as now The McMillen company are taking out the regular amount of pure silver, about S1OO,OOO per month. The Little Mac is only second to the Me Millen.
 The General Lee Silver mining con- pany have started work, and with a force of SIX men at present, Gin the opin- ion of your correspOndent,) will, in thirty days from date be numbered with the paying mines of McMillen camp. TheIr line is only twenty feet from where the McMIllen company have lately struck a six inch vein of solid chloride ore worth to 10 dollars per pound. There are a number of good prospects 1 have not had time to investigate as yet, but will keep you posted. One other prospect (pretty good one) lays about half way between RambOz camp and the Champion mine This Is BiXby's. At present a force of eight men are taking out about ten tons daily that will average 5000 per ton. How Is that for a prospect?

Wealth Is not Happiness.

The first great mistake which is made by most men is in making wealth the object of their lives. But wealth does rot always give happiness. Wealthy men do not because of their wealth, get happiness. The Vanderbilts, the Stewards and the AstOrs have not been our happiest men. They are not the typical men in the home; they are not the typical men in social life; they are not the typical men in the delights of life, or in the progression of learning, which perhaps, yields the finest joys men can know. We can go down lower still, and find the men who hay only one million, or SO, or halt million, and they do not type the happiness of American homes. Go into their homes
 How splendid, how gorgeous, how gau- dy they are, and yet they cannot rival the little homes in the love of husband and wife, in the reverence of children for parents, in the parents guardian ship over children, in all the sweet happiness that affection spreads abroad like a fragrance through the chambers of our houses. We know that almost every American gets wealth who chOos
 es to, though he loDSes it again, per
 haps; but he gets it. It is not great proof of ahility nor evidence of success for a man to get wealth in this country and this age. Now. the seems tc us that if young lan .Ould picture to himself rathev quiet house, sunnily placed on soE hlside, with a stretcl
 of meadow in front, through which courses a running stream, shaded by pleasant trees, with a loving wife, S group of pleasant-faced and virtuou. children, quietude of days and peace

reports he sends back are liable tO be considered somewhat more rOseate than circumstances would warrant yet much .Of what has been said and written of that borderlan would be warranted by calm examination of its resources. Stripped of the glamour which distance, inaccessIbility and ignorance always throw over new land, and considered without regard to the great mines known 10 exist so short q distance over the border in the true wonderland of northern Mexico, Arizona unquestion- ably can boast of mines equal to those in any other part of the West The belt of deposits which has made Neva- da is there continued. There is no greater lack of water than in the cen
 ral and southern parts Of that latter State. and, as tor heat, if the mines cx- ist, neither heat nor cold will drive away the worker or the capitalIst-N, Y. Engineering and Mining Journal, November 3, 1877,

The Eureka Ronanza Ores.

Next to the ComstOck, the mines at Eureka, Nevada, are the most product i've on the Pacific coast-at least they
 figure largest in the published statis- tics; but our object now IS 10 call at tentiOI of our miners to an important fact stated by Prof. W P. Blake, re- gardlng the apparent worthlessncss of the valuable ores of those immensely productive mines. The Professor says |:
 The ores from which this large pro- ductiOn of bullion is obtained consist chiefly of the oxide and carbonate of lead, mingled with oxide of Iron and clay. and some galena. They are earth ly Tn their appearance, and would seem worthless to the uniniiiated. From four To five tons of ore, averaging about $50 in value per tor, are required to make one bar Of aglii0n.
Arizona citizen., 1877-11-23
"Of the mills which have been in op- eration before and since last spring we can recall the following:

Besides these are the 40-stamp mill of the Yulture, Cormorant mIll, five stamps, and a few more in the Walla pal district.
 Another interesting fact in the devel- Opment of Arizona is that attention is being drawn to its rich placer deposits, and principally those lying along the course of the Gila river. On this latter stream water is abundant, and rich bars exist which can be made the subject of most successful enterprise. Arizona is known to possess extraordinarily rich gulch deposits of gold, which ere this would have fairly rIvaled those of Mon tana had water been abundant. Should success be encountered on the G;la, doubtless some experiments will short ly be made ln the dry canyons of the center and northern districts.
 At present all the high grade ore pro duced in Arizona is shipped to San Francisco for reduction, there being no smelling works of any kind in the Ter ritory. The exact amount of this class of mineral now being produced is diff ficult to ascertain, but 1t cannot be less than $j00,000 a year in value. It Is nec- essarily of very high grade, (conse- quently over $500 ton,) and much run ming up to S1,0O0 and over. In fact, the frst-class ore and concentrates (from Frue tables) now being shipped from the Silver King average in value over $1, 500 per ton. As the railroad has now crossed the river there should be reduction works in Yuma or some cen tral point. The class of orc being pro, duced now is highly quartzose, but there are districts close by the river where vast deposits of lead and copper ore exist winch would furnish a suffi- cient basis for very extensive smelling. This opening is one that we think will bear close examInation by capitalists The supply of ore will hereafter in crease very rapidly, by reason of the general cheapening of supplies of all kinds, and on account of the abundance of capital seeking investment in the Territory,
 Our mining summary this week is rather full of Arizona mining intelli. gence; and certainly that distant Ter ritory merits more than a passing no tice. As the American prospector moves southward toward the fabulous precious metal deposits Of Mexico, tho

A Breeze from Pioneer District.

\ party just in from the Pioneer coun- try informs Us that the boys out that way are going way down on several of their way up" mines with most en- couraging results. The Connolly boys are not doing much work just at pres ent, their rich strike has paid them so well that they have concluded they can afford 10 take a little rest.
 The Copper Top and the Yankee Boy, owned and worked by MT Baker, are extensions of the Silver Queen and are the best developments in that section. Our informant says there is a large body of mineral in sight, and he has seen chunks of'ore taken out that assay from S1j0 to 5000 per ton. There are two veins of mineral ard the shafts are down on each from 10 to 15 feet. The Silver Queen shows considerable cop per while the ore in the extensions IS a gray carbonate. This was mentioned as a peculiar fact.
 The Wheeler claim, on the same belt, has a l6-foot shaft, and the ore assays from $2OO to s14OO per ton, also gray carbonate, The Silver Bell is looking first rate. An incline has been run on this claim, and is now down between 40 and 90 feet The vein Is from b to 20 feet wide, and carries handsome free milling ore. There is yet stack of facts aad information to be gathered from that district which will be put in shape as fast as collected.

A Lucky Starter.

It is notable fact that the Silver King was the first mining location piac- ed on the records Of Pinal county. 9th CT locations were no doubt made at an earlier date than that of the King, but the fortunate discoverers of this won derful bonanza were the first to patron ize the county Recorder. Our county may well pride herself on having so lucky starter"

The Later Peace.

We have passed the monday summit, We have left the monday heat, And down the hillside slowly Descend our wearied feet. Yet the evening airs are balmy, And the evening shadows sweet. Our summers latest roses Lay withered long ago; And even the flowers of autumn Scarce keep their mellowed glow, Yet a peaceful season woos us Ere the time Of storms and snow. Like the tender twilight weather When the toll Of day Is done, And we feel the bliss Of quiet Our constant hearts have won When the vesper planet blushes, Kissed by the dying sun. So falls that tranquil season, Dew-like to soul and sight, Faiths silvery star rise blended With memory's sunset light, Wherein life pauses softly Along the verge of night.
 Paul H. Hayne.
