BAB0QUIVARl and ARIVACA
The DeTre & Townsend MilI-COntIn- ued Work on the Con. A rizOna-A Mexican Thief in Camp.

The Derre & Townsend mill at Ari- Yaca is running and making fair re- turns. We understand roasting fur naces will soon be erected, when this mill will be fully prepared to treat the base ore of the district surrounding it.
 The Arivaca mill has been running Tor the last fortnight on tailings, but will soon shut down tn put in the lix- iviation process of Emalgamation. New concentrators have been shipped from the east, which will snou be put in place by Prof Stewart, ono of the patentees of the Hunt, Stewart & Doug las process Heavier stamps will also replace the light ones now in use, and the crushing capacity will be increased 10 25 tons per day. When the pro- posed improvements are completed the nill will be the most perfec. in Inc Territory, and fully prepared to satisfactorily reduce the most rebel lious ores. The furnace capacity has recently been doubled
 Work is being pushed ahead with all possible rapidiiy at the Con. Ari- zoua mill, which it's projectors calCu late will be ranning by the middle of August. Several hundred tons of ore lie upon the dumps awaiting trans portation to the mill. The first returns are eagerly watched for, as the sue cess of the mill and the richness of the ore have much to do with, at least, tho present prosperity of Arivaca.
 There are very few idle men in or around the town, in consequence of which the place is exceedingly dull.
 In the Baboquivaris large amount of work IS being done. The recent bonding and sale of number of mines to parties in the East, has given de- velopmeuts a new impetus.
 Messrs. Hudson and Bsnt's Ex. chequer, upon which sinking has been resumed, shows at a depth of 45 feet four-foot ledge O! fine ore with a very strong indication of water, so much SO that it somewhat interferes wi;h rapid sinking. These parties are alsu doing considerable work on other claims. Messrs HariwickC and Clark are still driving their tunnel, having some 70 feet yet to go before tapping the ledge. The Black Hawk, bon ted 10 Eastern parties, is showing some good ore.
 Messrs. Middlemas and Wicks have inst bonded a group of six most prom ising locations to prominent mining men in Chicago. Recent develop ments in this heretofore neglected dis trict have brought it into notice in Eastern mining circles, and probably has al present, for the number of mines. larger proportion of Eastern investments and bonded property than any other in the Territory.
 Last Tuesday a Mexican entered the camp of Hardwicke and Clark and stole thercfrom cash box containing $50 in coin and a number Of valuabl papers. He was Allowed by Clark and Middlemas and overiaken near Arivacs, and taken back, but was subsequently, turned over to Constable Joe Elliott. This is the first breach or violation of the law in the BabO- quivari, snd the boys notified al. the Mexicans in the camp, some twen- ty, 10 leave within twenty-tOuT hours, Inc prospectOrs there propose 10 fol low the honesty best policy course.
 There has been very little Tain in the mountains so far this season, and it's coming is anxiously awaited.
