 the Patagonia and Tombstone districts.
 In the Patagonia, MT. Corbin has put
 two shifts of men sinking on his Amer | ican mine. This claim has a twenty
 five foot ledge of ore, free-milling as
 far as developed, bearing silver.
 In the Tombstone, there is no abate-
 ment of work, success and new arri-
 vals. The saw-mlll of the Tombstone G. & s. NJ. Co. has been brought to
 perfect working, and on the 14th they commenced in earnest and are ship ping hunter to the mill-site. The
 saw mill is in the Huachuca mountains
 and the mill is 10 be erected on the
 San Pedro about seven miles south of
 he junction of Babacomari creek.
 Distance from saw-mill 10 quartz-mill,
 twelve miles, down grade; will ship some 10000 feet a day. The mill,
 which should soon reach Tucson now,
 is to be 10-stamps. The company are at present doing most work on the Tough Nut, and have now exposed their fine ore body the entire length of the claim. MT. Corbin expresses
 himself as highly pleased and satisfied
 with the appearance of things.
 On the Empire, Messrs Hooker and Stowe have sunk about sixty feet, de fining a fine body of ore. These gen. tlemen have the claim bonded for $25,- Quo, and from the results of the work already done there is every prospect for completion of sale.
 Major Morgan's Merrimac is devel- oping a fine ledge as work progresses. Upon his last visit to Tucson he favor ed us with some rich specimens of ore taken from the shaft on this mine at the depth of seventeen feet, and la- ter developments show a contin lous body of equally rich ore. He also left with us fine specimens from his Sun- rise, Brother Jonathan and Little Devil claims in the Tombstone.
 Mir McCann is at work on the Head Center claim, owned by Messrs. Car penler, Handy and others, with flatter- ing prospects. This claim is just north of the Contention and adjoinS it. Then, we believe, comes the Tranquility, then the Tough Nut; the fortunate owners of the Head-Center have undoubtedly got a good property.
 MT. A. J. Mitchell, previous to his depa ture for the Tombstone, last week, had finished his fine map of the Tomb. stone district and had sent il to San Francisco 10 be Autographed This map is not of the usual unreliable kind hastily got up in new districts, simply IO sell; the claims and topography arel aid down from actual surveys and oD on the ground. and the map will be reliable chart, as well as fine specimen of the draftsman's and lith- pgraphers arts.
