A Rich Goto Mist-Tie "Cooqimgt" mln, which is sltuote about five miles north wMt of La Paz, Yuma county, this Territory, is one of the richest and best developed minus In Arizona. Its owner, Manuel Havana, hM spent n great deal of money In having it thoroughly prospected, and he is now well satisfied of it richne and permanency. To jjlve an Idea of the amount of labor that has Wen perforated on this mine during the last four Team, it is necessary to itate the fact that eighteen shafts of from ten to seventy feet In depth, each, have been sunk upon the lode, at different jiointa inside the length of the claim, 1900 feet, and hi alt of those shaft the iode has been struck, thus proving it to be a true rein. The width of the rein arer se,es JrotB 3 to 21 feet; the rock is decom posed aid it very rkh in free, fine gold. A mill will soon be erected, to work the ore frwn this ledge, and wo learn that Mr. Ha vana .has disposed of hU business at I.i Paz aad Issued hk house, so as to be nble to de void hfe whole attention to the working of the "UoH1lt,' Wb have no news from the Williams' Fork Copper Mines, further than that they arc being worked. A rty of nine men are now prospecting the nnje of mountains, back of 3rcMul!en'8 btation, on the Preseott and La l'az wagon rood. .., IUrtim in this town are negotiating with Messrs. Little & Taylor for their valuable irtiniHK property, which is situate en Lynx Grack, n'wit mjvih miiy- ul from I'rossott. SbcWkl they make the purchase, work will ' t commenced upon it immediately. Mr. Dasbam hat leased from 5. Z. Pierce, hie placer claim and ditch, below the Excel (ir otaimj. He. is now at work. ; -Mkssrs. Groom fc Cole are sinking a shaft on, the Platanka lode. Work is going on at the Chase. Good rock. M being taken out of it. .Nothing is being done, at.prosent, on the Uliloride, on account of the great quantity of water in the shaft. Fhom Lynx Creek the newa is very fa vorable. ..ClUNOiv-rOur readers will not fail to per ceive the change made by us this weok in the ' main "and editorial handings of the Mixun, which, we think, make a decided irnprovc roeni in the looks of the sheet. The type of the old main heading was too large, heavy and "fct-faccd," nnd will bo more at homo in ' the body of a poster than at the head of a newspaper. The type of the present heading is yot too "black" to suit our taste, exactly, but it is the bust wo could do with the ma terial now on hand. The gingerbread head ing'Uiat formerly ornamented (?) the edito rial page, with the vague and indefinite motto, "The gold of that land is good,"' needed rest, and wc have placed them in n poiition where they can have it. The motto was never ours; it was Selected out of tbe Uible, we believe, by that "trooly Christian gentleman," Hlch ard C. McCormick, the former editor of this paper, for the reason, we suppose, that it, like himself, was not tied down to any land, and might be used by him wherever he went. . Well, he can have it. Newspaper mottoes are being generally discarded; a paper nqeds ffomething ele besides immense headings and 'meaningless mottoes to live in the estimation of tho public. Tloping our readers will be pleased with the changes made, wc "close un- ! dcr thou headings." Mb. Sohuvlkr Colfax, Radical Republi can candidate for the Vice Presidency, was formerly a Know-Nothing, but since then, hiT admirers say, lie has learned something, and, we predict that before noxt Christinas he will learn that the people know too much fb everelect him Vice-President. Gen. Grant, the figure-head on the Radical ship was for merly a tanner, and he must not be surprised if the people "tau his bide" for him next No ' vember. . TiIn a DKsro.ND.NT Mood. It is said that ( Charles Francis Adams, late U, S, Minister to the Court of St. James, feels despondent over " the affairs of our country. ITe expreses re gret ni the revolutionary attitude of the Re publican party, and tiiinks that, unless Jef fereonian principles become once more the principles of government and people, the Ro public is lost, and he but adds the weight of his opinion to tho belief of the purest patriots in his party. Tub Democrats of this vicinity ore well pleased.with tho nomination of Horatio Sey ' rnour for President, and Francis P. Rlair for Vfco'Prcsiddnt, and only wiflh thejr could par ticipate in tbe election!' '' ' "Mistxu Won't Pat," is the stereotyped pbnwc of old Money Tiajp, when some oor miner oilers him a "bkj iillcroet" in lib valu able cktlm for a little of his surplus cash to help develop it. ItWttn't,o1i! Just glance at the following, and sec what one rich claim, out of hundreds upon this coast, has paid : The savage Mining Company hare delared a dividend of fifteen dollar per share (three hun dred dnltars per foot). Th company has paid one million lire hundred and sltty thousand dol lhr In tltrldenfls hi the past year. What do you say to that old Brick Block ? We think we hear you grumble out, "Humph, that is only one claim; all others are bilks." But hero you are mistaken, Mr. Graball. There are many more as rich claim ns the Snvage iu the States and Territories of the Pacific, that can readily be made to yield fully as much ns the Savage. Of cwiree, if you make a venture you must do so intelli gently. It will not do to entrust your money to a gent who knows no more about mining than Tbad Stevens knows about forgiveness. If you do you will surely get impeached. Here in Arizona there are scores of mine rich enough to iy well, yet for lack of means to work them, they are useless to us or any body else, and yet no tnonied man ean lie in duced to take hold of them. If they were in Mexico, San Francisco and New York cap italist would gobble them up. but as they are in Arizona, nobody carea for them. What short-sightedness. Wo venture to assert, that nowhere in the wide world can there bo found a better paying mine than the Vulture, at Wickenburg, in this county and Territory, yet but for the genius and perseverance of its owners; the practical knowledge, business qualifications and unflagging energy of its Superintendents, the lizards would, to-day, be playing on Its cropping!. Wheuerer Ban Francisco capitalists turn their attention this way, purchase and work our mines, then may we and they look for good times, with lines of steamship and railroads from San Fran cisco to this Territory. Arisona is, beyond doubt, the richest in minerals of ail the Ter ritories, and cantatas abundance of water, timber etc., with which to work them. As stages ads,' run from GtOifnmln into the heart of the Territorr, we bone, ere lonir, to oleaginous San "Franciscans come among us, ! take a tteeii at tbe country, and we know they will be satisfied. Do not allow terror of our Indians to keep you away. The Apaches are more terrible in 'Frisco than they are here. Trae, people get killed here by Apaches, but lieople also lose their Hvesin and around San Francisco by being burned to death, falling into the Hoy through man-traps and rotten gang-planks. Eastern Milt. -One. great drawback to tho dovolopment and prosperity of Northern Arizona is the want of mail communication with New Mexico, Colorado and tho Atlantic States, fia tho 35th parallel route, the best and shortest mail and railroad route across the continent, and we hope tho Deirtmnt will, as soon as osfiible, pktco service upon this route. It is of as much importance to the people of New Mexico and Colorado that mail communication should bapeerifiy ojteHod between the three Territories, as it is to our people, and we hope they will give us their aid jn semiring it. The servioo upon the 32d parallel route, rw Tucson, has not been per formed with any degree of regularity, but even if it were, it would not meot tho de mands of the people of Northern Vrizona " ' the great bulk of whom live one hundred miles north of that route The necessities of the country demand tho opening up of this route.

Well, the "world moras;" ivqry has "riz," and the Ethiopian is acting king in the cotton States, for a short season. A "coi-onEu" woman of Washington city, has brought suit against railroad company to recover damages for being, as sho assert, forcibly ejected from their streot cars. The Senate committee on tho District of Colum bia have takpn her caso in hand, and, will no doubt, mako it a ifrar cjoctmont for the com pany.

The nincompoop ought to know better. Grant and hk army did not succeed in scar ing IiOe. and his army: they merely " wore them out." Old time Secessionists like .Too Brown, of Georgia, Brownlovr, of Tennessee, aul others whom we might name, are the ones that scare most easily into the Radical ranks; they wore always disunionbts and are hail fellows well met with their northern pro totyjies and oo-workers.

In all ages, climes ami countries, where Africans have been brought into contact with the white race, and given free rein to work out their own destiny, they bare worked themselves into the ground mighty fast.

Meeting were held in six or seven ward, and atrioticspeirhes delivered. Eve rybody seemed jierfectly satiMled. We have not yet met a Democrat, no matter what may have been his jiorsonnl jireferenre, who does not agree with us in the opinion that the ticket is as strong as could hare been made. Neither Seymour nor Blair are ordinary men. They occupy tho first rank in living Ameri can politicians and statesmen. The flit, especially, compares favorably wilh the illus trious galaxy of party leaders which, thirty years ago. shone so conspicuously in tho councils of the Republic. Even his enemies accord to him great powers of mind, fascina tion of manners, and purity of chsrafter. We cannot do better than quote iVom the UIMnt a Grant organ, and a thorough-going Radical, on his nomination : uSrttwnr will l uventahla to averv Dem ocrat who was resolved to act with tbe party at all. and is undoubtedly the most able man oi an WIWM names were prewnieu 10 vac Convention.

In 182. he was elected Gorernor a ceeond time, ami was renominated for the place but beaten by Gov. Fcnton. He is a man of splendid pres ence, of magnetic manners, and absolute pu rity of character, which traits, rombiud with his disinterestedness as a partisan, give him great popularity and iniiuenrr, and will make htm the most formidable competitor of Grant, that eouM have been nominated for the great State of New York. The oTjecthms to Sey mour will be purely political. At the incep tion of the rebellion he opposed the idea of attempting to ave the tmon by force, and justified to some extent the action of the .
