M,nInan intelligence.

Mfrtn2b tutoNi60nCo. The Howarri mil on the Hassay
 ampa is running.
 l E. Hayden, of St. Louis. who Is inter
 ested in mines at Tip Top, is in town
 The Bradshaw district is without
 doubt one of the richest in the territory 1 Another very rich strike of gold orc
 has been recently made near Walnut
 Grove.
 w. H. Ferguson and son left thi,
 morning to resume work on the Gold
 Leaf mine.
 Fisher & Hastin have their new whim
 in place and are pushing work on their
 claim near Iron Springs.
 James Hammond of Phenix, has been
 awarded contract for 2,0O0 cords of
 wood to be delivered at the Senator mine.
 Several eastern parties are in Pres colt at present looking over min- ng prope rites with a view of pur chasing.
 Il The mill run of ore taken out by W. H. Ferguson and son proved entir ly satisfactory, and they will soon take | out more ore.
 Dr. Miller's Westlske mine, near town, is showing up fine ore. The ledge is now fully fifteen feet vide and the ore is very rich.
 H. N. Palmer has returned to Jersey Gulch, where he has min reducing good ore. His last shipment of bullion proved very satisfactory. A. L. Kerr's mill at Stanton is rum ming and doing good work. No clean up has been made yet, but it is thought the ore will yield high percentage of gold.
 The Senator mill is running day and night. The water supply has failed so that they are unable to run all the ma chinery by water power, aud the big engine was started up yesterday. Dr. Miller still thinks he has a bo- nanza in his Westlake mine, and the character of the ore which is being taken out from it seems to fully justify his confidence in 1t.
 Turkey creek is having another min. ing excitement. Rich silver float, similar to that which led to the discov- cry of the Pine Spring mine was re- gently discovered Tn the district by prospector. Everybody is out now hunting for the ledge where it came from.
 Prof. James Douglass, of the Com mercial Mining company, went out to Copper Basin yesterday, to su.'erintend tine starting upof the new plant of the company there. The company has spent pretty good sized fortune on this property, and it is sincerely hoped that it may prove complese success.
 Excellent reports continue to come from Santa Maria and Eureka distr jets. This section of the country promises to become soon the great gold, silver and copper producers ol the territory, as all of the above metals are found there. An immense ledge carrying free gold, which will go from SIP to $20 per ton, offers splendid induce ments for capitalists to put up A mill.
 J. R. Slack is hauling gravel on Big Bug creek, distance of about one- eighth of mile, where he washes it out l in sluices. He hauls eight loads per day, realizing $2.50 per load His pres ent work is entirely experimental, but results have proven so satisfactory that | he will this summer build ditch three miles in length and take it out on the | claim.
 FROM OTHER SECTIONS.
 We learn that a prospector, staked by Hon. Sam Webb, has struck lode | of tellurium ore up on Castle Creek that assays seven ounc. in gold per | ton. The mineral was mistaken for | galena till Assayer Porterie got his sco- rifier after the true contents.-Herald. |
 THE COLORADO RIVER STRIKE.
 Lum Gray has returned from trip | to his mining claims on the Colorado river, thirty-ive miles northwest of Ehrenberg. He brought in some sam ples that assayed high in silver and gold The samples of galena went $3S. sc in silver and $20.67 in gold and the carbonates run $sS1.S1 in gold and $39.77 in silver. Mir. Gray says he has three feet of the latter ore. He is making preparations to have we'll sunk at his claims. Water is at pres ent very scarce there, and not much work can be done till water is had. He thinks these claims | are as rich and extensive as the Bo. |
