ii A'hlb~i hC Jp@ 0i h Ah wy ! bu-iness like way. and we begin to feel our individuality rigAt smart . The numerous claim tnts of the Grand ' Central have held d meeting and seem 10 have finally arrived at a peaceful solution of the great question as to who owns goOi many feet in the mine, and who don't own quite so many. The holding of two great paciicaiion meetings at nearly the same time has struck your c rres- ppndeni as being quite a coincidence, I allude To the c and Central meet ing and the Cnngress of Nations ID | Eur,pe.
 Major Whitside, commander Of the mii.tay post at Huarhuca, seems tol he tIe grand tumblcbug. and lhings are going oa in very military man nef. in fac' jnt & mIst mines have, where army officers and spldiers have got their fingers in ihe pie. One of his brilliant orders was, 10 hire nonei but frsl-class miners sni to pay them TWO dollars per day. We most respect fully request the aforesaid Major Whit side to take big tumble 10 himself l. may be all regular f,r officers t"l use government teams, wagons. am balances, &c., 10 further ;heir own priyate mining schemes, but when ilI comes 10 their fixing two dollars per- day as the wages of good miner, these brave officers are sadly asiray. and should be subjected 10 a very critical examination by the surgeon. Mr. Ayrie and The new foreman, Mr. Geo. Reynolds are thorough miningl men and have many new and old lime friends in the district. If the mine was placed entirely in the hands If these gentlemen we should expect great things, but as il ls-quien sabe ]?
 The Contention mine, thenrxi claim north of he Grand Central has been sold bv Messrs. Schieffclin Bros, and Girl to Mr. Josiah II. White of San Franciscn, for SlOOO0. Mr White prn- poses to push things afer little. The developments already mace show a well dedae.l ledge fl high grade ore, and everything indicates improvement as II zoe. q ,wn. Other developments are b-ing made in different parts oi the district, shafts and cross-cu's arr numerous and, I am happy to state, most nf them show well.
 We have had a very large delegation of visitors, and among them some very prominent mining experts. NIT. Joe Clark. Mir. C. T. Gutter, MT. John Sevenoakes. MT. J. James, of ihe Bo- nanza: Mir. A. McCan, MT. Stretch and MT. Fillmore of San Francisco. MT. J. 5. Vpsburgh. Col. c W. Tozier, Mf. Knhler. Surveyor w $. Edwards, A. saver Brown and others, from Tucson. 1 Nessrs. Shieffelin Bros, and Gird, have bonded he celebrated Lucky
 Cuss mine, ;he Tough Nut, West Side and some contingent claims for S30.- OOO The bondins parties reside in
 San Frinciscp and are represented here by C,l. Tozirr. There i~ n doubt | but this will be sale, and when these parties take possession look out for d lbn-tle around these paris. Private
