 There is considerable locating going on 1 in the Red Lake or Music mountain dis trict, and many valuable discoveries are being made.
 John Howell of the Blackberry mill says he does not propose to let pound of ore be shipped from Mohave county, east or west. If he will only be as good as his word, it will suit the miners,

 We note with pleasure that the Atlantic q Paeif railroad company have reduced the rate on GlOO ore from Kipgman to Albuquer- que from S1O:4O to S7:75. We would like to see the rate from Kingman to the Needles put down at the same ratio.
 The Arizona Sampling works at Kingman are receiving large quantities of ore of all grades, some of which they ship to Denver and Omaha and some to San Francisco. Their shipments are constantly on the in cresse, and deservedly so. They should, and doubtless soon will. handle most of the ore from this section of the county, as they are on the spot and pay cash on delivery. which is certainly more satisfactory to miners than to wait two or three weeks for retuTas, The bulk of the ore sampled at these works 50 far comes from Wallspai mountains.
 We hear that John Barry is about to ship large quantities of $40 rock to San Francis co. His ore carries about 50 per cent. lead and 15 ounoes in silver, Why don't some others commence shipping similar ore, of which there are thousands of tons in this district alone.
 D.J. Canty will ship three carloads of lead ore to San Francisco next week, if he can get teams enough to haul it to the rail | road.

 Work goes on as fast as possible at the CupeI mine on Stockton Hill.
