 ". B. Scott left Chicago on the
 12th for Globe. Major Baldwin was
 expected in Florence from same
 place on the l4th. The letter 10 us conveying the above, also says,
 they are well fixed, . which leads us to infer that they have either sold mines or arranged for their develop ment.
 A San Francesca letter to a gentle man of this place says Soue par ties Of San Francisco have, condi tiOnally, purchased the Mexican mine, and same parties have rented the Miami mill and purchased ma scrial to put It in good shape and have already forsaried same to Globe. IL is also reported that the sale of the Mexican mine is cond:- tioned upon the ore working sixty dollnrs per ton.
 4 shaft is being sunk on the Saranac mine. Itis now down sixty feet, ore is being taken out to be worked at the uaskin nill.
 S. Klein has commenced work on tue Bohemia mine. This mine is near the Mexican mine. There is now a % foot shaft and shows ore in the bottom. but how much or its value we are not uniformed. An assay made ln San Francisco some months since gave a value of S714 per ton, but this cannot be taken as an indication of the value of the ore. Tie Bohemia is on the same lode as the Cox and Coplin, and may, in tho near future, prove mine. Mr. k. is also developing che COlumbIa, about a mile frem the Bohemia. He says he is now taking out milling ore but net in large quantities.
 Mr. Rice. the Superintendent of rhe Arizona Utah, has commenced to sink a working shaft on that mine. EEe is sinking on the ledge vhich shows 3 gratifying prospect. Clark, sho is also on the Cox and Coplin load, struck horn-silycr near the sar- face. Cur informant could not say bow much nor could he give us any particulars as to the general appear ance of the vein.
 4 gsod showing for Gold Hill. In the mine owned by Holt and Hyde, 1 ore has been struck which gave aa average assay of Sll5 per sOn, the highest being sl69 and the lowest s65. The asssys were made by E 0. Kennedy, and, therefore, leaves no room for doubt. We understand bat the vein is three feet vide and t is represented that the average as- Iay represents the entire yoia matter.
 Lidolph and others arc tunnelling Q strike the vein on the Golden tate. On Wednesday they were in ne hundred and forty feet and sx- oect to tap it at 20 feet from the iurface in about ten days.
