lne sluln pS VIII bC ~NVV sNt4'S It has only been 62 days m construc- tion.
 Altogether. Mr. Gillette tells me that the present works of the company reuresent an expenditure Of about SojO 900. and do not wonder that Harshaw pins her faith to the Hermo- sa every time. Add to all this, as MT. Gillette told nc today, il Is now de- cided to add 10 more stamps io lhe mill within GO days.
 Since Its success has been assured A. number of other fine properties in the neighborhood of Harshaw, owned by capitalists, have been look ,ng up for recognition as mines. h company with MT. RepPy, l took quite a tour through the surrounding hills. and found many fine looking prospect. A pleasant walk mile or SD m the canyon road toward wash ington Camp brings you to the Alta mine. which was purchased from Mike Pagan tor S2l 900 by Hon. J. K Lu;trell. When ] visited the prop erty work had been recommended In earnest. Messrs. Clifton and Clinton the latter an old PiOche (Nev.) miner-were engaged in hoisting the water from the maIn shaft by means of a whIrn, prior to sinking, for which they have a contract at present unllm- ited as to extent. The main shaft Is now down no feet, and one corner Of if has just cut the ledge. An incline shafe was sunk on the ledge 160 feet, and showed at the bottom about fl inches of fine rich bromide ore, carry ing some galena, and assaying as high as $G3O. There are several rich pay streaks iu the ledge.
 The American, prospect claimed bv many to be without superior at the same stage of development in the district, lies not far from the Alta. l believe the Corbin brothers are the nrinctpal owners. When 1 called al inc new working shaft it had reached a depth of 6S feet It was started on tbe ledge, which at the point where the shaft cut through it's incline, was about seven feet wide. A fine dump of ore lies near the shaft, the rock heinz n species of chlorIdes, from which assays have been taken all the way from $22 tO $700. As soon as 100 feet has neen reached, a cToss-cut will be run to lind the ledge. six men are employed, and 1 was told by Mir. c. ". Conslin, the uperinten lent, that work would be pushed as fast as thorougness would admit.
 Across the road in the hills lies the Blue Nose, a prospect showing a large body of galena, and belonging to the same company; but us little work is been done l kept on my way tn the Trench. very old and very rich Mex icau working, upon which the present owners, of which George Hearst is q member, have recently been starting up quite extensive developments Finding no one at the shaft l was obliged to leave without seeing this famous old property. 1 am told, how ever that the shaft had reached a depth of 106 feet and the tunnel 40 feet, and that work had been tempo rarily suspended while waiting for lumber.
 About one and half miles northwest from Har=haw IS a group of parallel lodges which is attracting n great deal of attention. The mum Der of locations on the group is almost too numerous to mention,' but ss yet no great amount of work has been done. Some very large veins Of rich ore have been developed, and most of the boys are " waiting for the bOom," while steadily developing as fast as their means will allow. During our visit it Tained nearly all the time, and we found the hospitality Of George Campbel's cabin most welcome. Toward evening the weather partially cleared up, and we were able 10 go over one or two claims before dark.
 At tue Shoemaker, one Of NIT. Camp bells claims, we followed the course of a very strong ledge which covers the side of a ravine, and pitches into the ground at a somwhat sharp angle at the bottom. IL WAS q new find, and an accidental one, and showed some very rich looking galena in the wide croppings.
 The Maryland was hastily examined. This claim belongs 10 Shane, Green and Brennlek, and has two parallel lodges. On one of them has q shaft showing about II feet of very fair ledge matter. Two assay certificates were shown Us of samples of crOppings on the other le!ge, showing the very comfortable figures of S2l1 and S1G9
 On a parallel ledge, known a. the Red Top, is claim belonging to the same parties, called the Brick Top Here the owners have d very neat shaft, sunk vertically, on the wide and strong looking ledge, a distance of about Is feet to the foot wall, and then following the incline of the vein. The Red Top lode is a very extensive one, and is locatedfor a distance of several miles. Where it crosses the gulch at lhe extension ofthe Brick Top, Messrs. Hurley and Cook are running tunnel into the hill on the ledge. They call this claim the Delaware.
 We were sorry that we could not further examine this fine section. II is we'll worthy of a visit, and 1 believe it will take most prominent part in the future of Harshpw
 Among the arrivals in town 1 saw Superintendent Gage, of the Grand Centarl, Col. James, H. C. Walker and several other Tucsonians.
 I leave for Wilmington Camp to day, and Tombstone on Saturday. L.
