Both furnaces are running smoothly, with the usual ore supply. No. 4 furnace has just been relined, and in a few da vs. ready for use. The following prospect work has been done in the several drifts this week: Sixth level crosscut north from northwest drift continued 2S feet, in all 9G feet.

Stout, Fisk & Co. have in their banking room a piece of ore from the Mack Morris mine weighing 75 pounds, which is remarkably rich. It is a not a nugget, but a piece out of :iu body of the ledge. They have also a tine piece of Golden Eagle ore weighing 15 pounds. Fouxd. A rumor reaches us, too late to get particulars, that the old Skeleton mine of which so much has been spoken, and which some think l)r. Thorn was looking for has been found, and is extremely rich in gold. It is said to be in the Sierra Anchas, or Broad Mountains. Nugget. Things are going along smoothly at the Nugget. Judging from the pleased look which illuminates the faces of Mr. Chilson and the Superintendent they must know something pleasant. Goldex Nugget. Work on the Golden Nugget mine joining the Andy Campbell, will begin Monday next. expect to chronicle a big strike in the Nugget soon. ad- We TOMB TONE DISTRICT, AltrZOXA. ot ot GOO-fo- ot 70-fo- ot ot ot ot same.

This causes a new bucket to be put in at least every 24 hours, for the fine gravel cuts badly, making progress less speedy and causing much trouble. From the 800 drifting will begin.

The Epitaph says: Less than eighteen months old, Tomb y stone District stands the leading mining camp on the Pacific Slope. This is a bold assertion, and without doubt will meet with denial by those whose interests lie elsewhere, or who, not having the knowledge by personal investigation, are slow to believe in its true merits. It is undeniable that no great depth has yet been obtained in even the bullion producing mines of this camp, but it is equally beyond contradiction that no discovery previously made in the United States has shown such ledges right from the surface down to a depth of four hundred feet as have been opened up in the Tough, Nut, Good Enough, Contention, Grand Central and Head Center mines, and now comes rich strike s in the Vizina at a depth of only sixty feet, the Girard, at a depth of 324 feet, and the Bunker Hill at a depth of 100 feet, while from the sealed lips but active operations of the managers of a large number of leading mines, the inference is fair that Tombstone will in a vear have close on to a score of bullion producers. In striking contrast to the history of the Comstock mines, written in the anguish and impoverishment of thousands of victims, is the bright record of our young camp, whose mines from the first drop of have been not only the stamp, but have yielded handsome dividends. And this has all transpired in the face of difficulties, from whi :i the of several mining Colorado, Nevada, and camps the Northwest were entirety free. Aside from the and until very recently fatiguing and dangerous line of travel to Arizona, right at the onset the mines were denounced by experts sent out from a money center, whose capital had done more for all other camps of the coast than the The expanded eye of combined wealth of other resources. the expert was unable to discern the true fissure veins for which they are still prospecting on the Comstock, so he packed up his duster and went to search for the lost Charlie Ross elsewhere. Possessing a fine climate, the winters being especially ploar-an- t, located in the midst of promising camps, abundance of water easily accessible, as has been proven by the Sycamore Spring Company, and the examination of the lluachuca mountain supply, with the rapid approach of a direct line of railroad with the snowbound camps of Colorado and the capital of the East, the rapid development of Tombstone and ing mines is assured. ng cir-cuitio- us, |
