 TOMBSTONE, November 1.-The harmony produced by the stamps of the Tombstone mill, moving at the rate of one hundred drops per minute, can be heard once more; and 10 those who are interested it does a particu- larly gentlemanly tone impla"t" The mill started up again Saturday, having been shut down for about two weeks, during which time important and quite extensive alterations have taken place. The elevators, cOnveyers and other dry crushing appurtenances have been removed and the piping and the tanks of wet crusher substituted. Supt. Gird having thoroughly tested the ore now being taken from the mines, finds that he can work it more saislactor- lily by the wet process, and at the same time run through a greater number of tons per day. The number of tons that can be run through per day is governed by the limited pan room 24 tons being the maximum. The new office and the Superintendent's office, at the mill, is as ans building as Ar izona can boast of The business and assay offices (adjoining rooms) are supplied with every convenience which experience and good taste could suggest; the large ornamental vault door and black walnut furniture add ing much style and finish. The sleep ing apartments are nicely furnished and carpeted throughout, each being well lighted and supplied with d cosy fireplace. The kitchen and dining room-please do not exact descrip- tion Of these most important apart ments, as expect to be a wanderer in the hills this winter, with my con- science nicely arranged for ballast on the port and starboard sides of a fore and aft mule.
 Miss Emily, youngest sister of Supt Gird, is nicely established here and will spend the winter with him. An other party who will spend many a happy winter, and summer too, with him, is expected soon from San Fran cisco. Long life and happiness, say we.
 The Corbin mill IS getting on finely, pan and settler frames up, batting blocks set, roof nearly timed and ev- erybody feeling well.
 The ore on the Lucky Cuss dumps increase daily, and some fine bocies are being opened below. The old whim at No ? shaft will soon be re- placed by steam hoisting works. This is one of the deepest shafts in the dis trict, being 165 feet below the surface. !
 The Contention is down over 200 feet and looking better than ever. Their mill goes on steadily and rapidly to. ward completion, and but few weeks remain to establish it a successful 20 l stamper-
 Three of the Tough Nut shafts are down over 100 feet, the ore at that depth cqualing the surface deposits in grade and exceeding them in quail ty. The body of ore at the present bottom of the northwest shaft is over l2 feet wide Shaft No. has enough ore in sight, that can be stopped out, to run the mill for long time, indepen- dent of the other works, and No. , tunnel (which cuts directly through the old south shaft is in the same fix.
 Recent developments and deals on some of the more promising claims throughout the district have greatly strengthened the confidence which has been exhibited in Tombstone mines. The Head Center, the Naumkeag and the Sunset are exciting great interest just now, and other deals are being quietly worked up, which will become public in due time.
 The Grand Central is all there yet and the owners of the South Exten- sion will have some of the pie soon also.
 The city-formerly town-of Tomb stone is still expanding, and business, though slightly overdone in the whis- key line, is good. Come and see us, and if we cannot amuse you with our big mines, mills and hoisting works; our daily stage lines, newspaper, dance houses. or theatres, we will get up a fracas for you that will suit the most aesthetic taste, "and don't you forget , it."
