 We learn that Captain J. H. Tevis, of Teviston, has made arrangements | with California parties to erect two | ten-stamp mills, with concentrators, and an endless wire-cable with car riages for transporting ore from the mines to the mills; the consideration being a halfinterest in the Captains | Virginia group of mines Gour in num- Der, and situated only seven miles from | Teviston.) The first mill is to be run ming before March 1st, and Captain Tevis Is to be Superintendent of the mills and mines. He will immediately put a small force of men to work on the mines, which will be largely increased when the first mill is erected. The Captain is one Of Arizona's oldest

 n The trip taken by Messrs Mellon : Whitmer and Powell to the Gulf oi > California seems to have agreed with r the tourists; they are looking strong | }, splendid land locked harbor about a- forty miles from the mouth of the Col y orado river which can be easily and tt safely reached by the steamer.
