riizoNA Sentinel. JULYS. ho Yuma Mill starrod up on rfidny, Juno SOth, every part r.r.d parcel working- smoothly and Vvll, We wenf over to see its performcnce, taking the train and arriving there In about twenty minutes. It is a ten-stamp gold Mill, liko most others that a tninizte description would be of little interest-to most of our rend- therp are few points of di5er'nco and some advantages of position not possessed ny all, as will be seen below. The rail! is located about half vay up ihe side of a steep blug, which projects boldly into the Colorado River, and about two hundred and fifty feet from the vater; this position, some ten feet below trio leel of the track jf the" Southern Pacific Railroad, fcliows of a spur track to the back of the milt and ten feet! ve the feeding floor.

The ore i i uledsbout three miles to the and dumped on to the -j which each morning's tr.iin the spur track and with aS' ingswitch they are sent down to mill, the train out in the evening stops for the "empties." It :3 ft curious sight t-j witness this manoeuvre; just before reaching the switch of the spur track there ar several reverse curves, Ihe train, after gathering momentum, has been divided into threa portions which emerge from the hills following each other on these curves; when the ore cars come to the switch they are dexterously turned upon the spur, the switch reversed and the train connected o- she main line. The advantage officii transportation to and from the is an important factor in cd: ii Ung the profits of the mill. The ore after beingdumped from Ihe enrs Is broken for the mortar and passes through the battery as usual xlie copper plates in the bat t.ry are oval, an improvement which offers more amalgamating surface, another improvement con sists in the length of copper plate the pulp passes ever after leaving the battery, first, are plates five feet lotigoa the tables and the full width of the buttery, then come copper sluices twelve feet long then blanketed sluices twenty four feet in length, the blankets of which are changed and washed every these It passes into an agitator-box, then into the tail race from which it falls into a dam; all this prevents a particle of gold from escaping and saves all the sulphurate. The furnace and retort are near ty; there are over 400 cords of wxl (mesquite cot ton wood and rffiow)piled up close at hand and more being constantly delivered. There are already eight buildings in the camp beside the mill and one or two families; a good tending for steamboat and barge has.been made with a fair road up lo the mesa.

We are much indebted to the Superintendent Mr. Van Arsdale for polite attentions, and to Mr. Miithews who erected the mill, Mr. Borsall the engineer, Mr. Townsondund others for information, and thanks are due to Joe the autocrat of the culinary and sleeping departments.

The proposed run Is to be one of ten days, so that next week we hope to be able to render good account of tho bullion proauced. The water used is taken from a large well into which the river peeps and from which an engine, half way down the well, ihe water into the tanks V.ukr. As the Colorado will Iks lower, the w.ll Is to be 6vi9pned: to below the lowest -'-snge of water in the river. i Juan Chuc at tho bead of 5000 rebellious latjimi inYucatan has crossed the State 'iKHiadrj io araia ajrainit.tlie Government. Advices from the Colorado river Reserve tell us of the death of of Irataba the late famous head chief of the Mohaves, who died from an accidently self-inflicted gun shot-wound received about three months since.

From the Miner. The Peck mill has started up on Silver Prince ore for a short run.

after which quite a quantity of Black Warrior ore will- be put through. Bio Yibld. The Tiger Company, under the management of Superintendent Helm started their new mill and run It parts of seven days on second class oro from the Tiger mine and cleared up about 814,000. The mill was experimenting and testing the machinery preparatory to starting up on first class ores, and we consider the result more than a success. When the mill gets fairly under heauway It Is safe to estimate the proceeds daily at 3,000.

Don Autonlo Peres, a very Intelligent Mexicau, who has been hi the employ, of Harden, for many yeara mc his agent In old Mexico, and who ha3 recently beep in the State of Slnaloa, states that the railroad magnates have no inteii- tlon of making Guaymaa a terminus, but have selected a better harbor at Altata Bay, where the Culiacan enters the Gulf, for a terminal. He statue that the harbor is well protected and that the water is 60 feet deep at low tide. Mometklng New. Mr. Tlieodore Pickens yesterday showed us some specimens of a berry that grows iu abundance on his ranch above the Ca-fiada.

about ten miles north of the city. This berry possesses the remarkable prop, erty of the best erasive soap, and when rubbed in a little water produces the finest kind of lather. The suds from this burrv will readily remove the most obstinate grease spots, and priutur's ink takes its departure after a moment's The operation, of t'-ds vegetable soap iS' magical and delightful, and leaves no unpleasant odor behinu as a remembrancer. The fruit has a bitter tasje and is used as a substitute for quinine. It grows in" abundance at the base of our grand old mountains, and will be a great convenience to our people.

If anybody wishes a quantity of this v.iluible fruit, by address-, ing a line to Mr. Pickens at Los AugeleS po4todke their wanta will be attended ibi Now it seems as If our good old soldier friend, Pickens, who has lived a lone Hermit in this romantic spot for several with the wealth of a soap orchard around his cabin, would get married and divide his wealth with that sweet creature' whom he thinks of by day and dreams of by night.

The Antsnelll Will aae. IIomk, June 28. Pleadings in the Anto. nelli will cast have been closed and judgment will be rendered in ten days. The defense plsaded that the suit of Couutess Lambertini, who claimed to be a daughter of the late Cardinal Antonelli, should be rejected, because sacrilegious children, thnt Is, children of priests, had not even a' right to claim parentage.

Rather rough on tho 4 sacrilegious children." How about the Priests? The man that begets a child, whether saint or sin-ner, Pope or layman, should be compelled to maintain It. --m Vicente got on a big mad because Diaz, President of Mexico, who had 3pprovedhis pet plan of having an International Exposition at Mexico, went back ob him and no longer favors that project; so he threw up hib portfolio of Sccretario de Fomento, which corresponds with our Secretary of the Interior. Another of the rich treasures nf says the N- Y. Indicator, is about to be ric-! veloped. The Silver Nugget Mine is a re-eent discovery, dating back only far as 186.

D. G. Chilsen being the discoverer while, he was prospecting In Richmond JBasin, then an unexplored portion of tjie Territory. He found on the surface of thu vein large quantities of float rock rich tn chlorides and sulphurets of silver, and nuggets of native silver. Some of these nuggets were of very large dimensions, I weighing from 10 to 200 pounds, and one mass weighed over 300 Several shatts have ben sunk on the vein from 20 to 90 feet in denth.

The 90 innt Wt shows a very large ledire, with pay ore full width of shnfr. The other shafts and open- Ings are rich in native illrcr. Several ex perts and men of high standing, amongst others Senator Beoth, bear testimony to the value of the property. Two shafts have been sunk on the adjoining mine, by the McMorrls from which they are now extractingchloride ana black sulphur-et ores that sell in San Francisco at $3,000 per ton. The famous "Lolo mine "Joins on the southwest, from which ore has been sold at $5,000 per ton.

Milling operation w(ll soon be commenced, and with these It is expected the property will prove to be a valuable one and soon become a dividend paying mine. The company is organized under the laws of the State of New York, and the stock will be put on toe Mining Exchange there, as it is to the interest of the stockholders to do so. (We have. a fine map of these mines. In the County Court of Los or.

Monday, John Taylor, of Arizona, who was held in durance Yllc on a charge of stage robbery, was discharged from cus. tody on the ground that the statutes of California conferred no jurisdiction in the case. Wq learn that Taylor, on release from jail, stayed nut upon the order of going, but went at once to the rural districts for fresh air and other things. There is something peculiar about this case. The mail stage that left Prescott Friday, June 20th, contained a letter to Sheriff Gabriel, of Pinal couuty, from Acting-Governor Gosper, of Arizona, enclosing a requisition on the Governor of Califoruia for the return of Tajlor'to Arizona as a fugitive from The stage was stopped and the mail robbed about three miles south of Prescott, and the requisition captured, probably by a friend of Taylor, at only a portion of the official envelope was found at the scene of-the robbery.
