| the general news you want, but only
 such as pertaius to the great material
 wealth Of this great country. There
 is no place like Tombstone in Ali
 zona. H5re are life, activity, Lusi,
 ness, money, mines, American towns
 and-and rustic. For genuine, A No
 1, able and efficient rustic, here is the place 10 find it-here every man is d. ing his level best, If it is only at drink ing whisky.
 Tine sale of the Bradshaw and Lilly mines will be closed to-morrow at 8 good figure-said 10 be S60,000. They are splendid mines. the two being on the same lode. The sale was effected by Messrs. Tierney and Newton to San Francesca parties This mine had IS feet of shaft sunk on it five years before Tombstone was known. It was then called the San Francisco. The parties worked il, went off 10 Mexico, and after five years returned to find it a valuable property. There are others in the same vicinity that are good, and some day will bring large prices. The Lizzie is One-good vein and rich ore. The Graveyard, Dwarf, Los An geies, and others near by, will, when as much developed, be good mines too. and sell for good prices.
 The Red Top mine has resumed work and is showing we'll. 1 saw an assay from the bottom of It today that went $579, with S87 gold. It IS a fine property and shows for very valua ble mine.
 The Miami is now down over 70 feet and has disclosed the vein, belug a true Assure in pOrphyry; vein five feet wide of rich ore, assays frequent ly goinr as high as $500.
 The Bonanza mine cl"se by is also a good one, with rich ore. In fact I am inclined to thInk that these miCe< on and around Treasure Hill will soon become very valuable properties, and Treasure Hill, for mines, may rank along side of Contention Hill \ great deal of contract work is be- ing done on the mines, and every claim worthy of it is being fully represented by assessment work.
 NIT. Plllsbury, recently here. has made arrangements To erect five stamp custom mill near the town. which, with the twenty-stamp custom mill that our Boston friends are erect ing on the San Pedro, will give ample milling facilities.
 The cOpper-smelting furnace, now on Its way to the Mule mountains is making a stir and causing people to look in that direction. Contracts have already been let for burning coal, and things in general in the Mule mountains are looking up. They have plenty of mines there, and large ones, too, and it's time of prosperity is sure to come.
 The Gold Camp is still attracting considerable attention and all reports from there are favorable. The veins are il contact between granite and slate or gneisso.e schisis, and the deeper the shafts the wider the vein and the more free gold to be seen. The malriX is quartz, with iron stains, and sometimes dccomposed a little. New discoveries are still being made in all that country, and some of the new ones are reported as looking we'll and show we'll in free god. Among the new things IS "The B's" (bread beef, bacon, beans and grIyy) which though not new as 6 find, is new in style of name. The Tioga, Wyoming Hidden Treasure and several others are down to considerable depth and known to be true veins, which puts all doubts away as to the future of the Gold Camp. Soon Tombstone will be shipping bars of gold as well as silver.
 h the DragoOns, the Kitty McGann is taking the lead, being now down 72 feet on a , foot vein of rich ore, with huge pile of it on the dump. The Rose mine also sends to town some specimens of very fine ore.
 The Turquoise are having a season of prosperity, and send in good reports. Among the mines now about being worked on are lhe Occident, Daisy and Iron King, and the Mono resumes work. The Silver Cloud and Diablo have each force at work and are looking well and improving daily.
 l was shown a few days ago beauty of specimen from the SwiS>helm District, being a long piece of ore GOV cred with black sulphurets of silver, or silver glance. It was from ;he Mcr- rimac mine. It cut like lead, and al- though weighing a pound and half one could stick the point of a penkrite lutO it ard hold il up by it.
 But to close wi;h our town. I'm prOvements are On the rush and new buildings go up every day. The water pipes afe being rapidly laid, and soon Sycamore water will enter our streets. Railroad prospects are looking bright. NIT. Kelleher, Chief Engineer of the Arizona and Mexico Railroad and Company was here this week and laid off the deppt grounds for his railroad, locating them, as was ou tue Silver Belt claim, near the center of New Boston. Work on this road is progressing finely. About 45 men are at work and four
