A reporter of the HERALD returned
 last evening from visit to the north
 eastern portion of Maricopa county, and learned from AIessrs Cushenbery
 and Bourdwell, the following infor-
 nation regarding the property of the Central Arizona Mining Company
 The mill will be locased on the west
 bank of the HAssayampa, at tue town
 of Seymour, AS miles northwest Of
 Phenix. The mines are nine miles
 west of the mill, and fourteen miles
 south of Wickenburg. Mir. Cushen-
 bery did the first work on the Nul-
 tare in 1865. and now returns in 1879
 to again work it. Millions have been
 extracted from fl, and it long since ceased 10 be prospect but is a well
 developed mine. The deepest work ing is 311S feet, and tunnels, drifts and
 inciines in every direction. Ore has
 been taken out 10 a depth of goo feet, thus leaving Is feet of ore exposed in the main shaft. But Il men at present are employed ln the mine. and they are engaged in cleaning out the debris sO as to allow working room for the large force that will be employed when the mill gets ready. The ore will average S24 per ton < six months contract has been given to the CcrrO GOTdo Freighting Con- pany for the hauling of ere from the mine to the mln, the price being s per ton. The contractors will cOD- mclce hauling ore June 2jth. The entire force az the mill numbers 9 men. Only five carpenters were at work on Monday \ delay of three week has been experienced by the non-arrival of lumber Yesterday morning OK teams loaded with 10000 feet of lumber arrived, and the bal snce en route so DO further delay in that direction will be experienced. Clark t Adams Of Prescott are sup plying the lumber-their contract calling for 10000 feet.
 The mill building is GA.Gx go and will contain forty stamps. The first twenty will be set at work sometime between the first and tenth of July, ! the remaining twenty about three weeks later The stamps weigh 7j0 ! pounds each, and drop 90 times per ! and each stamp has q capa- | city of two tons every twenty four | hours. The ore passes from large | bin into two Blake rock breakers; ! thence is fed to the batteries by eight ! Challenge ore feoders-two auxillar- ! ies indispensable To economical quartz | milling. The mill is supplied with { eight Hendy conccntrators. Only twelve men will be rac5i:-t',; e. ..i the entire machinery of the mill When completed, the entire expentii- ture will not be less than $40,O00 II. W. Bourdwell, of the firm of BouTdwell 6o Rogers, San Francisco, is experimenting inc erection of the rliI. This gentleman is well known, having erected quartz mills in nearly every important mining district on he coast. When the mill cOmmen- ces work the company will employ lot less than 900 men, while the pres mt time the entire force does not ex- ;eed 50.
 This enterprise cannot but bs sue ;essful, and will be Of great benefit O the Territory at large and Marico- )a county and the town of Phoenix T particular. The operations of this will be watched with inter st, and will be chronicled from time o time in the columns of TIE HER ALD.
