They comprise the Grant & Colfax, Indianapolis, Eureka, El Dorado, and Sharp. All of them are well prospected and show fair ore. Assays of 27 samples of ore from the El Dorado went from $57 to $256 per ton. Assays from the Indianapolis have turned out equally as well; and the Grant «& Colfax, Eureka and Sharp show a good qnality of milling ore. Gen. Lrx.—The contrnet on the drift is completed. Another contract will be let ina few days. The ore hns improved for tho last few feet, in running alread. Mammoru.—A_ force of 8 mon breasting out, and extracting 8 to 10 tous of ore per day. Live Yaxxez.—This mine is west of the San Jnan Del Rio ground in Mazeppa eation. Work was resumed last week. At 25 ft., there is a body of high grade ore in sight that it is estimated will mill $300 to tho ton. Joining this locatiou is the Miner’s Dream, showing a good body of ore. Fight tons were milled a few months ago that worked $129. SEconp Souts Ex. or Hrppen Tneasonre.

Placer mining is also being carried on with good success along Upper Hassayampa Creek. In Maricopa county, work upon the Silver Queen and other silver ledges is being prosecuted successfully. Waxtapar Dist.—Cor. snme: At the Keystone the breadth of rich ore in the bottom of the shaft has considerably increased and work is being pushed day and night. Facilities for roasting ore are to be attached to the Hardy & Meacham mill at this place. Work has been commenced on the Stark and Ewing—being the first N. W. extension of the Keystone; a shaft will be sunk on this mine to water level soon. The Fairfield, the second N. W. Ext. on the same lode is down 45 ft., exclusive of a 30 ft. cut which was made before sinking. This shaft will havo to be sunk 90 ft. further before reaching water level. Work is being pushed with vigor. A recent clean up at the mill from Lone Stnr rock resulted in a fine quality of gold and silver bullion. Work is still going on in a drift at the latter mine. Colorado. Sueruan Mr.—Central Regsster, March 18: Tho Zillah, Zephyr, and Elkhorn lodes, have consolidated and are uegotiating to either buy, scll, or divide with the Pelican.
