LETTER FROM MoHAyE.
MINERAL PARK. Sept. aG. 1878.

MINERAL PARK, Sept. %, lS's.
 EDnoR MINER:-I notice in your valu
 able paper that you have correspondents liv
 ing in the several counties Of the Tcrrit0ry
 but as MoIlave county seems 70 be lacking 5
 regular correspondent will tiy and fill tho
 place.
 First of ail is our mining interests, foI upon these our country depends for its ex-
 isteuce. The Blackberry company talk oi stopping their mill month for repairs and for the purpose of sinking their main shaft deeper. IL was rUmored a few days since that the ore bodies had given out and that a part of the men had been discharged and i that prospects were poor generally. But | yesterday 1 learned that different state of | affairs existed. They have struck a bonanza of very rich ore, much larger and better than ever before found in ibe miEc. Mr. Raymond, the superintendent, is jubileRt over the new find, and Hackberr Is way up.
 At the Park the mill is running on good ore, but It Is rumOred that il wIll be shut down for q week fer repairs and to allow the wood contractors tO get in asuppiy of wood. Water at the Park Is more plenty this sea son than it has been for several years.
 Miners are trying to prevail on the Hack berry company to work some custom ore, and ii they sncceca there will be a. large quantity oi' high grade rebcllious ores hauled rom me vicinity of the Park to Blackberry, as the roaster at Blackberry Is better adapted for treating rebeiiious ores than tine one at Mineral Park If they do not succeed in prevailing on t4e Blackberry company to crush their ores there will soon be a large quantity shipped 10 San Francisco.
 There is talk of at least two more mills going up in MohaTc county this coming winter but as yet all Is talk. The political cauldron has commenced boiling and it now looks as though we are to have an exciting canvass between this and election. There | has not appeared in the different journals ! of the Territory, d proclamation by the Governor. What is up! Is Governor Hoyt afraid to act. He was not afraid tO act Tn 1S7G He dad not hesitate to count Stevens | in without authority of law.
 Mr. X. E. Davis has his enemies in his | own county, the ultra democrats and ultra enemies to the public schools are doing | their best against Davis, and Stevens will | get fair vote as usual. Sectarian theology ! and democracy must make showing, and ! Dbll Ol lic>S iolB5 SceDl 10 DC SIlONlD0 ! themselves in our county politics. Our county vote Is not as large as 1t was last | spring, the change of dlscharging old Ali zonans ana importing mincis and mill men from Nevada, has ieaselrG our vote at least 1 Cne-half. 1t is now estimated that We will | not poll over three hundred votes at the coming election.
 There seems to be three candidates talked of for the Legislature, 1T. Hardy, Webster Street and Johnny Eehan, of Signal. Behan wants tie place bad and will probably get it as there is millions in sight, Johnny will get away with the pot. It is rumored that Johnny has lIttle grudge against some of the people of Yavapa county, and wants to get even. He will get it.
 Davis will carry the county. The party lines are closely drawn and will always be held tight regardless of local questions The question is frequently asked; Whara is Campbell; wllare is Stevens; whare Is Wool sey. am terrible dry,
