Mining Items.
 Gov. Stafford and Mr.. Frank Corbin
 returned from their second joint trip
 10 the Tombstone district on Thursday
 evening. While there arrangements
 were perfected fnr the organization of
 d second incorporation to work a group
 nf the GiId-Schieffelin mines It will
 be remembered that an incorporated
 company has been now for some time
 organized and at work on first group
 of these same mines, called the Tomb
 stone Mill anu Mining Company and
 cnmpOsed of Messrs. Gird. Schieffelin
 Bros, COrbin, Vosburg and Saffurd,
 and whose mines are the Tough Nut,
 G"odenOugh, Westside and Defense.
 That company already has a saw-millI
 erected an at work, and part of their fine ten-slanp mill passed through Tucson the first of this week. This
 new company, just organized, and tnI
 work on a second group of mines, isI called the COrbin Mill and Miningl Company, and have what IS called the
 Lucky Cn>s Group, viz, the Lucky Cuss. Owls Nest, Owls Last Foot,
 Eastside and Tribute claims. The same gentlemen, with other eastern men, will compose the second as the first company. A fifteen stamp mill is 10 be got on the ground as fast as money and effort can place it there, and it will be put up on the San Pedro, Ia short distance from the TnmbS' one l Icnmpany's mIll and is to be run by sleam Work is to be commenced shortly on the mill-site and on Ihe
 Lucky Cuss mine. Contracts have been let for building material and Mir Corbln leaves on Wednesday next for San Francisco to order the mill Col. l Bufrum, who served for a number of years in the army in New Mexico, and who is doubtless we'll known 10 many residents in this section, is now on his way from California 10 superinlend the work at the mil, while Ed. Schief- fein will attend b the work on the mines MT. COrbin will return here in April next. These companies pre- sent a strong force of capital, energy and experience. There is nothing loose about them. Nature has given them fine claims ard capital and per snnal work will prove them such Those most interested superintend their own enterprises. The lodges were thoroughly prospected and proven in the first place and we can see no req sonable prospect for anything but great success. The mills which these companies are erecting are no; cnly fine enterprises for those most directly interested but will be of great benefit to every miner and mine in the dis trict
 Dr. J. H. Mckee, of Los Angeles, who is on visit to our portion of the Territory, has jus: returned from a tour of inspection Of the mines in the Aztec and Tyndall district, in which the doctor is interested, and reports ds follows There are most satisfactory developments in the mines now being worked by the T"ltec Syndicate of San Francisco, under the management Df Superintendent Magee. The shaft on the Bushell mine now ninety-seven feet deep, shows clear vein of rich ore from top to bottom. while the cross-cuis in the shaft on the Saint Louis mine at a depth of fifty feet, show an aggregate pf seven feet of mineral in perfectly defined veins This mine, from exter- nal evidences, promises 10 be very fine property. The FOrsythe and Rick ard, just incorporated, are also showing beautiful mineral, the former having four old shafts showing the veIn per 'ectly Incased in porphyrltic granite n each, while the latter, new mine, with new shaft fifteen feet deep, shows six feet of mineral in the shafi with south wall of vein not yet reach d. This mine also promises most sat sfactory developments.
 Mir. Ezekiels of the Old Hacienda { las just located ihe Majn mine, near he Bu>helI, and is developing fine 'ein of very rich ore, while Tom Rod l Iick's "Josephine," in the same dis ret, has 3 shaft forty SIX feet deep in ire from top to bottom. Dr. Mckee hinks the Santa Ritss will in time eriiy fully the sanguine predictions # the many locaioFs there. We never lad any doubt If ihe ultimate valu. if f mines in the Sania Riias; all Ihal i' 5 needed is the careful and honesl iorking of the same. '
