Dos CAEEsAs. September 3.

EDfroR CITIZEN. I find the town of Dos Cabesas, O. Two Heads, to he de ightfully situated al the foot of Dos Cabesas Mountain on the south side. The mountain is about one mile wide by one and a half miles long, with a gentle slope all the way down to Ewell Springs Mountain. The town S surrounded hy mountains, and has thrce outlets into Sulphur Spring Valley. Tho hills and mountains are covered with the finest kind Of gFass, srd the stock of all kInds is fat There are two dairies in town which supply the inhabitants with fresh milk and butter daily. There are about twenty five dwelling houses. and some fifteen families, three stores, two saloons, and one hotel. The Postoffice is kept by Mr. Riggs, who has q siati Onary de pertinent also.
 have been here nearly month, aud never saw finer climate in any part of California. From 10 to 20 miles in almost any direction from camp il has rained nearly every day hard, while here it has only fell in gentle, warm showers, and only eight times in twenty five days. The winters are said to be mild; if so, this would be delightful place to live in. There :s plenty of wood near by, and never failing water can be had by digging shallow wells from six feet 10 thirty feet deep. Two 10-siamp mills are to be erected Immediately, one by Cal Johnson's Ohio Company, the other Ly NIT. Goss, Utah gentleman, who has had experience in mill bu~iness in Utah. His mill is in TucsOni and will be shipped as soon as the grading IS done and foundation ready.
 The mines, as they are called in the district, are really nothing but pros poets, but they are very flattering ones Tie hopes of the district are centered ou the great ledge fronting the town and lying on the south side of the Dos Cabesas Mountain. The ledge Is about 90 feet wide, and crops out boldly fol over three miles. There are about a dozen locations of 1900 feet each, anc they all show rich mineral. Int most permanent are the Silver Cave owned by Arfastru Johnson, Tully Ochoa & Co.,; Silver Cave South owned by White & Co.,; Bear Cave, by Hart and NCGregor, who have a shaf down 80 feet, showing some very fiu' mineral the Juniper owned by Casey 6 [ Co, also showing well. Capt MaddeI and company, of Fort Bowie, have | fine location on the same ledge. John sons mine shows a large amount o rock that will go from $2O to $lOO il gold and the same in silver. l bt lieve Johnson is in your town now and will make arrangements to worl the Silver Cave on grand scale.
 Silver Camp, about six miles noftI of town, has some very promisin prospects in chlorides and horn silver The lodges are small, but very ricl The Fl Dorado, belonging 10 Jim Har and Dick McGreggor, has fourfoc vein, with a shaft % feet, shOwin very rich mineral going up into th hundreds. There are about 30 loc; tions in this camp; while some hay fattering prospects, a good many ar not worth recording.
 Wood Camp, lying East of tow about seven miles, has a number small gold lodges that are paying we with arrastras. On the east side, fa' ing Fort Bowie, is large argentife ous caIcna ledge 15 to % feet wid There are two companies at worl | The New York is running tunnel i on the vein and getting out some fin ore. The Yellow Jacket people al running cross cuts on the vein an numerous cuts into the vein six eight feet deep, showing upsome yer fine ore that assays from $50 to 30 in silver per ton, and about Sl0 gold.
