Times at present are dul! at signal. vet. it is thought, they will improve and 1t is reported that the Signal mill may start up shortly, on the Palmetto ore, though It is oui,e uncertain yet what may be done with the Signal mill. A great many men are now leaving Signal for the lower countries and the Tombstone mining district.
