TrrroP, March lth. 1873. ED. MINER Matters in general are nov. ing at quite hyely rate at the camp. The Tpiop Company. through Simmons 8 Mon.
 ick. are sending to the mill in the neighDor
 hood of fifteen sons of ore every day. and
 win the ore tAat our contemplating friend
 Mr. Rowe, is purchasing. and the ore the Company has on the dumps at the present time, there is moral certainly of the mil
 running for the next SIX months. ard paying the lucky stockholders the beautiful divi- dend of fiffy-cents each month. We have il from good authority that dividend will be declared on the 1st day of April
 Tbe mill started at good gait, and at the distance of ten miles each morning, we can
 hear the six o'clock whistle, and when We have good south-wesIerly breeze, can dis tinctly hear the ruH.bling noise of the stamps. Mr. tanning informs us that the difficulty nf the s'selffecderr has been over come and machinery more like clock-woFk. MT. Henry Pister, the Company's assayer has left the mine. anl is now the principal assayer at fhe mil.
 The genial faces of Dan Thorne, and Judge Cate have retired, after asserting some of the rich rock on the sSwilling' AhCf AO HUI tb Dt -t-A Dtftc- D0t d4 v admirable slookers on,s Black & Waterman, contractors, miscalculgted twelve feet on their shaft. and are at present hard at work making it up Belcher < Cook, are putting in good work oa the s.Belchers and are not particle excited. Our old friend Jim Whitlatch has come, has seen, but we do not know what he conquered, as he keeps his own counsel, but We can safely wager he knows what he is about. Mr. Finley, Mine Supt., who also is interested in tho Mad den" and the ''Bfutus,n states that the latter is perfect daisy" and he thinks it is the "boss" claim of Humbug. Mr. Walsh tells your correspondent that his claims arc '.pan- ningn out well, as also Mir. McCannons, the old Pioneer. The boys on the "0rbitn have abandoned work for the present, for reasons known to themselves. lis good claim, and the expenditure of few hundred dol lars would develop a good mine. Wright & Keeling are pushing matters quite lively, and will open in the next ten days, also Alf. Bernard.
 The stage running from Prescott to Gill lett, uns-er management of Cusicks and Murphy, is quite an improvement over the old blackboard, and although have once before called them to account in reference to mail matters, yet, inow, l must tske up the cue in their defense. The mail from Prescott comes regularly, and the subscri- bers to the MINER get their papers prompt ly. Mr. Murphy is an old stage man, hav- ing served at his profession in California, and We can safely guarantee, through his hands the stage business between here and Tiptop being carried on properly. It is ut terly absurd 10 send mail by the way of Phoenix, and on proper investigation you will ascertain 1 am correct, notwithstand- ing your information to the contrary.
 am under Il 6 painful necessity of re- cording the first case of utter cowardice that has been perpetrated at the new town of GiIlett. Last night, two men, by the names Df Grindle and Calhoun engaged in hard words over game of cards, in Levys saloon, and Calhoun went out to the north 1 side of the house. and taking deliberate aim, fred through a window and shot Grindle i through the body, the ball penetrating vital parts. There csn be no excuse rendered in | palliation of this deed. Calhoun gave | 5rindle no opportunity to defend himself, | put acted the dastardly ard cowardly ruf- | ian. 1 do not wish to advocate lynch | aw, but the repetition of such outrages | ,f tbss character will render it essential. | Calhoun cleared the country, after making he remark, ''Sam, we have aman for break ast, but I swear 1 did not shoot hinl " irindle cannot live.
