A letter received from the end of the track informs us that track laying west of Chino bridge was recommended on the Sth. On the 14th the boarding train Was at a point one mile west of Aubrey siding and the track was laid thT6e miles further west.
 Railroad officials calculate to cross the county line into Mohave county by Christ mas and to have a siding ill at Peach Springs ready for freight and general busi- ness by January 10th, 1883.
 w. H. Hardy informs us that after the 16th (yesterday) inst. his stages will con- meet with the A. & P. railroad trains at night. Gs a passenger coach is now run through to the end Of the track on Tu6s- days. Thursdays and Saturdays, reaching the end of the track at P. NJ. and leaving at A. M. next morning. Passengers and I1aii matter will be landed in MineraI Park in twenty-four hours from Williams from now on, and from Mineral Park to Williams in the same time. Intending passengers will govern themselves accordingly.
 A largo party of men have been sent for ward and set at work putting down pipe and machinery for the purpose of pumping over the water from Peach Springs to the track.

THE C. 0. D. MINE.

AIessrs. Johnson and Sample are at work on this mine which lies about mile south of Canon Statio and about midway be- tween that place and Stockton. There are three shafts sunk op this claim, one being down about seventy feot. another sixty feet and third about ten feet. About forty feet down in the seventy fcot shaft a drift has been run about thirty feet and work is now being pushed ill this drift to connect the two deepest shafts. Tn3 ledge is from four to five feet wide, while the pay streak is fully twelve inches. On the surface the ore is very free chloride showing considerable horn silver, but at the bottom of the seven ty and sixty foot shafts there is a beautiful streak of white quartz, with punches of sul- phurets showing Tuhy and antimonial silver. \ correct idea of the average value of the ore may be obtainel from the prices paid by the Mineral Park mill for ore from this mine. The frst lot milled $2S3 in silver to tn6 ton; the next lot S557, this lot contained from $50 to $500 in gold, but our mill didn't make any allowance for gold in those days. Another lot Inilled four hundred and fifteen dollars in silver, and two other lots milled two hundred and thirty-oEe dcllars and two hundred and thirty-fve in silver, respective lv: The lowest priced ore ev5r mlll5d from this min9 went one hundred and thirty dol lars to the ton and at tke price charged for milling in those days brought the owners out about even. All of these different lots of ore contained more or less gold, but, as stated before, no allowance was ever made for it by the mill. We anticipate 5 good showing from the C. o. D. mine when it is better opened up. and it must be remem- bered that the figures mentioned above were actually paidf the ore, as can easily be verified by reference to the books of the mill, and were not from assays made from picked specimens, which Is very different matter.

SETTING SUN.

This is a we'll known mine having been worked since the year 1872 and lies about three hundred feet south of the Rising Sun and parallel to it, and considerable work has been done on it. On the east side of the wash a cut has been run in about fifteen feet, in which the pay streak shows eighteen inches ill width, about six inches of which will go as high as $4OO to the ton. In the wash a shaft some thirty feet deep has been sunk, and drift rnn in from the bottom about twenty-five feet east, showing up a good streak of ore, if anything better than that in the cut above. Several lots of ore have been milled at the Mineral Park mill from this mine, none of which have ever millcd less than $15O to the ton and from that to $650. There is about ten tons of second class ore on the dump, all the best ore having been recently milled. We then came down the wash some fonr hundred feet more when we came upon the

CIli.u. Tiis shows good, solid ledl ( about four feet wide, with pay strea averaging about twelve inches. The ore is a chloride with an occasional bunch of sul, phurets and recent assays have been made from it going as high as $489 to the ton. A shaft has been sunk on the ledge to the depth of ? feet and considerable work done on tine surface. There is pile of good look ing chloride ore on tine dump. which will go from $50 to $200 per ton, and is for sale.
 We einnot understand how it is that with three such prospects as these men, toned the Mineral Park mill should lie idle, for few men put at work on these claims would isep 2 five stamp mill running night and day. We advise the Captain to hold on to these three claims, for the time is fast
 approaching when they will pay him well.

THE SAMPLTNG WORKS.

By reference to the advertisement of Cham berlain x Co. ill another column it will be seen that they are now ready for business, and prepared to receive, sample and pay for ores of all kinds. We are permitted by the kindness of Mir. Chamberlain to make public the following scale of prices which he will pay for ore on delivery at the works. It must be understood, however, that these figures are liable tc change, as they depend entirely upon the market price of gold, silver and lead: On all silver ores he will pay from S0 to S5 per cent, of the assay value, less the sum of thirty.aight dollars and fifty cents per ton for treatment and shipment. If the ore contains any gold in addition to the silver, allowance will be made for it at the rate of eighteen dollars per ounce. For silver ores containing lead or gold or both, the same figures will be al i lowed in addition to the following: On ores containing from 20 to 8 per cent of lead 30 cents for each per cent. or unit will 1 be allowed for the lead. On ores contain ing from SC to 10 per 1Sni. of lead, 40 cents for each unit, and from 40 to 90 per cent and all above 50 per cent, 50 cents per unit will be paid. In order that there may pc no misunderstanding as to these figures VIC give an example of ton of silver ore assay ing one hundred dollars to the ton and 0oE, taining two ounces of gold and 45 per cent. lead:
 S5 per cent. of one hundred dollars, S85 co ? CyOl6 n aiorbfaov, 1oIIo 45 per cent. lead e soc per unit, 22 50
 Sl43 90 Less for treatment, 3S 50 Net. S1C5 co Here Is an example of class of ore that l hitherto has been of To value here and that will now net the miner one hundred and five dollars per ton at the works. Ore that will assay sixty dollars to the ton in silver and carry p per cent. lead will net the miner twenty dollars per ton at the works, and there are thousands of tons of this claas of ore in the district. most of it carrying some gold and much higher per Oentago of lead than the example mentioned. We have maintained all along that our miners would get good square deal when Chamberlain Co. got to work and We | think they have now, and that where there Is now one man at work in tine district there should be hundred in three months from now. We wish Messrs. Chamberlain and Higby all the success III the world ill their new enterprise and can assure them that they will never regret giving the miners of this district good square deal and chance to make a little money at the same time.

THREE Coop MINES.

A few days since at the invitation of L..
 c. WeIbourn we paid a visit to three of his mines. the Rising Sun, Setting Sun and Morning Sun. These mines are situated in a small gulch about a quarter of a mile northeast from the Mineral Park mill and the Captam is engaged at the present time i'll making a road down the wash to inter sect the main road to the mill, a task which he has very nearly completed. The three claims are on parallel lodges and distant from each other some three or four hun dred feet, the croppings of all of them being readily traced for a considerable distance and the lodges themselves strong and we'll defined, running east and west. We visited first the
 RISING SUN.
 This is the furthest north of the three claims and has the the least work done on it. What work has been done so far con- sists of a shaft about thirty feet deep sunk on the ledge on the east side of the wash, which shows uniform width of four feet all the way down, the pay streak being about two feet, The ore is a sulphuret showing some copper stains and in general appearance is similar to the ores produced from the Keystone, Stark & Ewing and other mines in the neighborhood On the west side of the wash a cut has been run in about ten feet long by six feet deep. Al the surface the pay streak was one foot wide and at the bottom of the cut it had widened out to two feet, with every indica- tion of its still improving. Out of this cut about five tons of ore have been taken, but as no assays have been made from tho claim so far, except from specimen pieces, we can place no exact value on the ore, but we eSti- | mate the general average of the pay streak at $50 per ten, without sorting. We next visited the

The Florida Ship Canal.
Planters Journal.


One of the most important subjects
brought before the great National Cot
ton Planters Convention at it's recent
meeting at Atlanta, was that of the
Florida Ship Canal, presented in the
p.eamSles aud resolution of Mr., Sound.
er,of Virginia. This is one Of the grand
est enterprises of the age Snnd will do
more to advance the material ,produc,
tive and commercial interests of the
Mississippi Valley, than any great work
that has been done since the Louisiana
purchase. 1t has occupied the atten-
ton of the greatest minds Of, the age,
not only Of our own country, but of
all Europe. Our people and trade and
commerce are not alone interested in
the construction of this gigantic work.
1t concerns the commerce of the world
and the people of all the nations of the
earth. 10 us it gives cheap and safe
transportation to the larger part of
American commerce. 1t opens the
markets of the world with cheap freight
and increased facilities for shipping
the great products of tho Mississippi
Valley. 1t will save 1000 miles of the
most dangerous navigation known to
the globe. 1t will save one per cent.
on insurance on over 100000, 900 per
annum which is now compelled to be
transported around this perilous voy-
age. It will save to the cotton planter
at least two dollars on every bale Of
cotton shipped and in an equal proper
ton on all agricultural products of the
Mississippi Valley. 1t presents the
grandest and most direct route for the
worlds commerce between the Atlantic
and Pacific. Its advantages, benefits
and blessings are innumerable and an
tagonize no interest or industry. 1t
is work long demanded and one which
should have been done century ago.
We are greati6ed to learn that the
company which has charge of this great
enterprise contemplate beginning the
work at an early day with every facility
for it's speedy completion. The empty
ing of the waters of the Mississippi
in the Atlantic ocean and the pouring
of the vast trade of the mighty valley
of the Mississippi over this grand high
way of commerce, will be one Of the
most gigantic achievements of the age.
We hail with joy the prospect of this
great event. f. t.t,t
