 By reference to the various announce ments in the MINER, it will be observed that Fred.

 BULLIox.--The first two days run of bull lion from the Agua Fria smelter. of Silver Belt ore, was brought in Saturday night, about $500 lbs. The furnace is running, and the proprietors, Messrs. Thorne & Hutch Issen, expect to take out from elght to ten tons of bullion before stopping the furnace. The Belt is one of the best paying mines in Yavapai county, ana with proper develop ment, would make bushels of money for any one would who make the proper outlay for machinery, etc.
 FROM THE vERDE.-Hon. W. s. Head, one of Arizona's foremost and very best citizens, in company with H. W. Hull, a merchant on the Verde, arrived in town on Saturday evening, coming by the way of Smithvllle. These gentlemen, who are old hands on the Pacific Coast, and we'll versed in the milling business, inform us that the Golden Era Company's mill is running nicely on good looking ore. They pro- uOuaCS JUG Iniil us CotupdCt Oncs Wel put up, but they are of the opinion, as lis the amalgamator at the mill, that the screens are much to coarse, and that they are in conse- quence, not giving the ore a fair trial.
 No EPTzooTIc.-The illustrious manager of the Phenix Expositor has made inquiry and is satisfied that not a case of epizsotic has taken place in or around Phenix, and thinks the MINER mistaken. Perhaps we are, but our authority was MT. James Stew art, agent for Gilmer, Salisbury & Co.,, who claimed that some of their horses were af. flicted with disease pronounced epizootic, and more, that the horses of Kerns & Grif- fth were sick with the same disease, and that one horse, valuable one, had died from the effects. MT. Stewart caused Stage Agent Meador to purchase large quantity of medicines from a Prescott. drug store, and send it out to the different stations along the route to be gwen to the horses as an antidote or remedy for the epizoOtic. Perhaps the Expositor will investigate farther. One thing, Mir. 0'Reily,t the MINER never makes any false statements. Remem- Der that hereafter.
