 here would be interesting to your readers, l
 take pleasure in writing what there is from this part of the world.
 Starting ar ihe head of Turkey Creek we first come 10 where Mr. Clark is erecting a smeltiug furnace for the reduction of ore from the Coptinental and other mines owned
 by him. This gees to show what energy
 and perseverance will do, without-any as-
 sis,ance from the outside. Mr. Clark has
 his furnace nearly ready to run and will
 soon be a regular bullion producer of this ! district.
 ! About half mile further down we find
 the irrepressab.e Holmes still digging away.
 we'll knowing that he has good thing, and
 is steadily increasing the pie of rich ore already on the dump.
 The next place is the Little or Mssterson
 mill and Goodwin mine, both idle. but we
 hope soon 10 see them start. Over the ridge
 IS the Morning Glory mine. lately purchased by the Arizona Consolidated Milling and Mining Company. The conirsctors of the
 Company have just completed their contract of reiiinbering the shaft some sixty feet and putting the mine in good shape. It is tbe intention of the company to immedi- aiely put on force Of men for the extrac- tion Of ore, to be reduced at their mill some fonr miles further down the creek. They have complete mill, although something -ou- M. ha,-a rn SnrI,f Int x-hat if ,r,if be success. will eDdeavor to give a brief description of If. 0n the first or one floor is Phillips jaw crusheri the ore passes from thls through spout to the dry kiln, where il IS thoroughly dried be
 fore being fed to the Baker pulverizer, which under ordinary rate of speed has the capacity of ten-stamp mill, but can be run at the rate of three thousand revolutions per minute; to prevent the journals from heating they rga in wa;es jackets. From the pulverizer, if the ore is free, it passes into Forster and Firman amalgamator, where jet os steam completely mixes the quicksilver with the pulp before it passes to the pans below. If the ore is base or re- quires roasting it passes from the pulyerizer down d spout to the roas;er, and after 1t is roasted il is taken by the elevator back up to tine hopper that feeds the amagamator and from thence to the pans, which are ihe same as in any ordinary stamp mill. Tins mill has oae advantage over the stamp mill
 the pulp before passing to the pans Is completely mixed with the quicksilver. The | ail. will be read! to make its trial ruu oD | free ore in about six days. sitter which It i will be shut down for such little repairs ss ,nay be needed, and 10 wait for the building | og the roaster, which the company hope to l have complete in about six weeks. un- derstand it is their intention to reduce none | but their own ore, such as they may pur chase or exirac. from their own mine, until | they prove their works to be a success. C.oakers and fault finders are requested iO keep still, especially as this has been DO iawbone enterprise. but paid cash for every | thing they have received. So much for our | new enterprise; sIcccss, be with it.
 Over the rilsc, on Pine Creek, McCloGd and McD are about to commence work on the Comet, foul air having caused | them 70 suspend werk until nog. when they | have every ything il readiness to commence sinking on a vein of very good ore from eighteen inches to two feet thick.
 Near by are Reed and Watson, who have a rastra steadily running on the Wonder and other mines, and are well contented | with their prospect.
 4 little further down Brady and Olson i, are hard at work on the Peerless. with fair prospect. The last camp on the | creek is Charley Jam and Tom Brown, who | have been hard ae work on the Kendall | mine. the boss prospect of the district and | the coming bonanza. The boys are well contented wi.h ;heir prospect and are going to stay with. They have vein Oi abont eIeht inches of very high grade chloride and back sulphuret ore that will go up in- to tue hundreds, if not thousands; work, however, having been suspended for the present owing to the severe illaess of MT | Brown, who hopes sOon to be able to be out and polish the drill.
 Among the ecod mines that for the pres ent are lying icle are the Trinity, Compton, Sultan. Treasury, Uaion, and many others.
