 10 the mines, k very favorably i'm pressed with them, and feels very con
 fdent that the district will prove a rich
 and extensive mining field.
 From MT. D. B. Rea, who has recent 1 lv made personal inspection of the mines to the southwest of Tucson, we 1 get this very encouraging report: The district we mentioned some weeks ago,
 located in the Las Guias mountains
 about four miles west of the old Cerro. ' Colorado mines, gives promise of great developments. The principal miners, ! in there now are Ncssrs. Conly, Hays, 1 ! Poindexter and Weans Conly and 1 Havs have shafs down two or three lodges from len 10 fifteen feet, and they are taking out ores that assay up
 in the thousands. and are putting up a furnace for smelling. A. Mickey has made some locations which look very
 well. Some Nexicans, working on a
 gold vein, recently cleaned up $l3O
 from batch of ore worth about $S0 per ton. an3 are so much encouraged | that they are putting up more rastras, and also are taking out ore 10 be
 worked in inc Ostrich mill-which, by
 the way, is running very satisfactorily under the immediate direction of Prof John Arey
 Coming to the Ostrich district, Mr. Req says the prospects are entirely satisfactory to the miners D. C. Thompson has, for some time past, been working upon a new discovery , about two miles from the Ostrich mil, and the ore from il worked in a rastra. gave $27 per ion. He IS now having thirty tons reduced in the Ostrich mill. and from a couple Of cleanings from the plates before Mr. Req left, il was s believed ihe yield would be at least i S25 per ton. All the miners are highly ( pleased with the working of the mill, ( and are desirous of having their ore , crushed in il. Tom Roddick, who has made decided success by crushing gold ore in rasiTaS, that yielded $65 per ton, now has contract to deliver sixty tons to the mill, and is fulfilling it. This ore comes from the Yellow Jacket mine on Jhe Ostrich lode, and and at depth of sixty feet, the pros C poets are excellent in every respect
 The furnace being now constructed f at the Ostrich mill under the supervis- d ion of Prof Arcy. is to be completed C next week and ready to treat rebcllious ores in connection with the mill
 Work on the Old Mine still goes on. and the usual showing of rich ore con f ,inues.
 Mr. Req says lle made a new location , of silver lead some two miles east of. the Old Mine, assays of the ore show ing about $2OO per ton.
 j. C. SchemerAorn, superintendent of the Salero company, came into town on "Wednesday and returned Thursday. T He has ten men al work developing a three veins, and ;Le prospects so far, : encourage him above expectations.I of ore brought in, show the T bright native silver He says his pur- l. pose Is to frs, deyclope the mines, l. md definitely learn the value of the O ore in them, and also get pretty ac n 'urate knowledge of exteat Of the ore.

 By reference to the Yuma items. it sr will be seen that l8,O0O pounds of Il silver King ore has already been re- u 'eived at Yuma and will soon be in san Francisco. It
 Niman & Nash on the Sd, wrote us . hat their reduction works were about u u eady to start and everything looks II a'oFabIe for success, with plenty of re. Their works are at Stoncman OF al he road between Florence and Pinal tC is;rict.
 Of course bu: little gold is coming P rom the santa Rita placcrs, yet Mr. u D. Wood informs us that Ralston Steel recently dug up a chunk worth i'd ,l20. Just as soon as water comes, the z of the miners out there u 'Ill light up and their purses be much Ii eavier than now. c,
 Gov. Stafford received news from tC Florence yesterday, that the one ton of. c. re taken from a mine in which he is al .ari owner, in the Globe district. was f, worked in Jennings X Co.'S smelling o, works and yielded bullion worth S42S5 .; n coin, and from all we can hear. there
