MINING MATTERS.
Encouraging Reports from Ari-
 zOna Hines.

! but with one exception we believe these discoveries have not proved profitable. This exception is the quartz gold mine now owned and worked by NLessrs Casy X McGrader, and which, according to our present information, is an exceedingly valu- able property This ledge is said to be from ten to twelve feet in width, and the ore averages s1O0 per ton-at least the owners have obtained this result from working the rock in aras- tras. Yesterday we saw at l. Zecken- doris store thiry-Six ounces of bu!- lion from this mine, which has au ex- coedingly tempting look. The shaft is now down twenty-five feet and the ore is improving all the tine.
 l; From the tame paper we learn that the Ariyoca district is becoming a lit tle excited over the mines. T1ie man agers of the several mining companies are pushing the development of their respective properties as rapidly a the situation will allow. This augurs well fer our future, especially as scv- e.aI fine ore-bodies have been uncov- cred within the last ten days. The Ccro Colorado shaft has been pump d out, and rich ore struck in the bot tom, also in the lower levels. The main shaft of Consolidated Arizona was down sixty-ive feet, a-d bottom in good ore. Two shifts were sink ing, and Mr. Holden had about ten tons of selected orc corded on the dump, which will average over $500 per ton. The dump itself is worth at least $1l,OO0. The Arivaca Mill con- pany are pushing the mill work along. If they meet with no backsets, the mill will be in operation by the last of December next. Then our bullion shipments viii prove the richness of the ore-bodies of the district.
 The CfT-en also says that Mr. A. ". Stowe, a good miner and assayer, who formerly lived in the Aravaipa district and later at 2c1Iillcnvillc and now at Tombstone, is in Tucson. lie corroboratos the many good reports we have heretofore published con- corning the district Mir. Stowe has assay cd the ores himself and knows whereof he speaks.
 The Arivaca Milling company has q force of twenty-five men employed on the mill, and are pushing the con struciiOn as fast as the necessary ma terial can be obtained for doing the work in a substantial manner.
 The Contention mine is down 113 feet The ore is continuous, strong and rich, as may be judged when we state upon the testimony of old miners and others that ore to the value of over f10,O00 was taken from the shaft, sBd the drift cut from the north end of the shsft is in beautiful ore four feet in width and widening con- stantly, from winch over $10,000 has been taken to date.
 Says the Prescott Miner of lhe 2d inst; It is pretty certain that work will be commenced at an early day on the Senator mine. Machinery of the most modern style will be pur- chased in San Francisco, and put up on the mine for the facilitating of running tunnels, sinking shafts, etc, and should the mine prove to hold it's width and richness at a depth of 800 feet, equal to that which it now has at a depth Of 200 feet, the Senator will have that attention given it which good mines generally receive fiat pay large dividends. The Senator has now in sight 2 great deal of ore worth SEQ per ton.
 i new ten stamp mill, built in Gin cinnati, Ohio, is now on the way to the Tombstone district, being forward cd from the end of the railroad in Colorado. The stamps are G50 lbs weight each, with the full compile meut of pans, settlers, Ec. The pow CT is a 49 inch Le1cl turbine wheel. The mill will have a capacity for working forty tons Of ore daily.
 Nr. Duryea proposes to start up the Duryea mill, provided his San Fran cisco supporters concur. He will put milling rstes down to S25 per ton. The McNIillcn company and numer- ouS miners will aid him in his efforts to keep the mill in steady work. It's capacity, by the addition of 9 settler, will be about i've tons per 24 hours.
