 The Sunset mill has started up
 and ten bars of bullion, 990 fine, i:
 the result of the first run, which was
 manly for the purpose of testing the
 machinery, which works like a
 charm.
 MT. Selby, Superintendent of the
 Davis mine, is in town. He reports
 the Davis as yielding large amount
 of good smelling ore. We may ex-
 pect the erection of reduction works
 for the Davis mine before long.
 On Wednesday night la-t the
 Tombstone Mill and Mining Comp
 any shipped their 476th bar of bull
 lion. As these bars average about
 $2,500 each, it is safe to estimate
 S1,19O,OOO as the bullion production
 of the company to date. The comp any has now paid s45O,OOO in divid- ends, and has a large surplus in the treasury.
 Articles of incorporation were filed in the Recorders effice yesterday in- cooperating the Black Jack Mining Company. Situation of mine, Tomb stone District; principal place of business, Tombstone, Arizona: amount of capital stock, S5OO,O0O, divided into 5O,OOO shares at par value of s1O per share; duration of incorporation fifty years.
 A new mines district called the Palmetto Mining District, of Pima county, has been located and is bounded as follows, to-wit: Com menced at point on the Sonoita River, at or near Sanford's house; thence down the Sonoita River to the junction of the Sonoita and Santa Cruz rivers to the Sonora line; thence along the Sonora line to a pass between the Patagonia mount sins; thence along the summit of the Patagonia mountains to a point on the Sonoita River, about two miles eastcrly from the old Aztec mill site; thence down the Sonoita 0 the place of beginning.
 From the Star:
 Notwithstanding all reports to the contrary, the Hermosa mill continues to run day and night and the mine yields large quantities of high grade | ore. Some very fiattering develop | nents have recently been made in ,ross-cuts from the lower tunnel The | mill crushes about so tons in twen- y-four hours, and turned out, for the month of November, something ,ver SS0,000. The returns for De ;ember will be :ully $100.000, which loes not look much like the mine vas "petering" out.
 The incline in the Alta at 165 feet continues to look very well, some rich ore having been ex- racted. The company contemplate he erection of hoisting works and he sinking of a working shaft 800 eet deep, from which levels will be un every 100 feet to tap the ledge.
 The machinery on the Trench nine was started up-as before re- the second instant and worked like charm. The 50 feet of Tater in the shaft was soon pumped ut, and now no inconvenience is ex- erienced on that score, one 52 gal on cask attached to the cage serv- ng to take all the water out. Sink ng in the shaft was begun on the fternoon of the 9th and has been ever since by three shifts f miners, averaging 214 feet per ay, the depth at present being 200 eet. Preparations are being made ) open level at this point and run drift to open the ledge which, it Is will be struck within 20 get of the shaft.
 The nights and mornings are re- orted as very cool in Harshaw, thin ;e forming on the creeks. The gen. ral health of the camp IS good, and le mineral prospects were never etter.
