From recent arrivals from this section
we learn that very great activity prevails
throughout all the mining camps and Dis.
tricts, as well as at Tucson. In the Aztec
and Tyndall Districts q large force has
been put to work for the Aztec Syndicate
both on mines and mill, the machinery for
which is now west of MesiAa, N. NJ, and
being pushed forward rapidly. Supt. A.
q. Hunter, who succeeded Col. Tozer, is an
energetic worker and will soon have his
mill up and at work. The Toltec Syndi.
cate people are, as usual, ahead In the
race, having made some important strikes
in the Bnshell and Saint Louis mines re.

at work on their mill site, and hope soon
t. be able to start their reduction works
toward construction AS soon as they be.
gin to build their mill more men win be
put on the mines, which, by that time, will
be sufficiently developed to turn out more
ore than the mill can handle, and it is in.
tended tc double the capacity of reduction
works within three months from the time
the first mill starts up.
The Toltec people make no debts, work
their properties in the most economical
manner, and We are satisfied Will make q
most magnificent showing. Their water
power is the most reliable one in that Sec
ton of Southern Arizona and will furnish
something like $50 horse power. AS they
propose to lixiviate their ores this power
can be almost wholly applied to crushing.
A gentleman recently returned here, who
made special mission to the Santa Ritas
to look at the Bushell and Saint Louis
mines. informs US that they have at this
stage of development the best appearance
IF anything he saw in Southern Arizona.
He personally inspected both mines, took
his own assays and made his own meas.
urements, and feels confident that each
OF them are not only permanent but rich
properties, and, as investments, the best
things he has seen. We have every
reason to think that our informant
knows whereof he speaks. Every
dollar spent is spent in work, every
move made is move to develop and
bring to light the wealth hid in the mines.
In the Arivaca District there is little
that is new, though the Ariyaca mill is
being pushed forward to completion It
was expected at Tucson that this mill
would have started before this, bat when
1t does start up we shall expect t. hear a
good report OF il. Flood d Kirk patrick
have sold their group Of eight or nine
mines to an eastern party for $75,000-
coin paid down. Fair result for IL years
work.
In the Tombstone District some Won
derful developments are taking place
The Contention shaft is now down over
100 feet, and at last dates cross-cut was
in thirteen feet one way and nine feet the
other, in fine ore all the way. Work in
the Tough Nut is pressed vigorously with
excellent results The Mafnie, Princess,

than, Merrimac and others, are showing
splendidly. The first five mentioned were
recently bought 10y Col. JOHN D. Graham,
Of the Toltec Syndicate, and some of them
eill, we learn, be sold to parties who will
develop them, Col. Graham having his
hands tolerably we'll filed with work IN
the Santa Hltas. A number OF offers have
been made on them, but they will not be
sold except to parties who WIFI go to
work on them at once. All that ia needed
to give the Tombstone great prominence
as mining district is development, and
the organization of half dozen compa-
nies who will work their mines will re.
suit in a rich return to them. We look
for great things from the Tombstone Dis
trfct and everything indicates thst We
shall not be disappointed.
