Tombstone Mining Notes.
lEpit1ph ]

Four bars of bullion were shipped on Friday night by the Tombstone Company, weighing 720 pounds and valued at $11 300, and three bars last night, weighing 54S pounds, and val ued at $s,299.7I.
 The winze or the 3C0-foOt level of the Tough Nut is down seven feet, all in good ore. The main shaft IS down 214 feet. The arrival of the new Su- perintendent, Professor John X. Church, has already been noticed in these columns.
 In the Sulphuret no further efforts are making to handle the water, which remains at the same height as report ed last we, &, and work has been re- sumed in the mine as before. The drift at the $40 foot level, 10 connect with the 300-foot level of the Tran quility is being pushed rapidly.
 The tunnel on the Alps is now Tn no feet, the face in favorable looking rock, containing considerable quartz. It is worthy of note that NIT. Rutledge has run this tunnel alone ID less than 100 days, during several of which he was confined to his bed with sickness. An average of 1 Ii feet daily by one man, in hard rock at that, will be found hard to beat.
 The new ore bin of tho Head Center is full, and hauling to the mill will commence this week. Some import ant parts of the hOiSting machinery have arrived from San Francisco, the delay in the forwarding of which has greatly retarded work on the mine. Some hoisting is being done, and cross-cut has been started west on the 5lO-foot level. Mr. Parish states that he will have the mine in shape 10 supply the mill by another week.
 The main shaft of the Graud Gen. trsl South has reached the first or 1OO-foot level. The work of cutting out the station and starting the cross cuts commenced yesterday, aud when this is completed sinking will be re- sumed. At the north shaft, a depth of 1S6 feet has been reached. The drift south from thls shaft Is in 90 feet, and some very favorable looking ore is beiug taken out. The ground is soft and easily penetrated.
 The Grand Central crOss-cut west from the old main shaft, 4OO-foot level, is In S5 feet, the face in soft ledge matter. The first 40 feet of the cross-cut wss made with the eIpendi- ture of considerable muscle and pow der, as the rock was very tough. Since this was passed, however, progress has been rapid Nothing new is re- ported in the workings of the mIne, save that the road 10 the shaft has been graded and sinking will con- mence at once.
 The Vizlnia main shaft IS down PTS feet, the bottom showing quartz ite and porphyry, indicating that the limestone will soon disappear. The rock is quite soft, allowing rapid work in sinking. The winze from the 1OO-foot level is down 90 feet, showing 6 we'll -dehned lode fully four feet in width. The ore bodies in the upper levels are all improved, espe- cially in the Hsskill drift, where the ! ledge is i've feet wide. The mine generally looks as well ss possibly could be wished. During March the main 1OO- fcot level was advanced east 40 feet; the face has passed through the lime reef, and is now in quarlIitC and porphyTy, carrying some low grade ore. During the month o March 400 tons of ore was shipped tC the Boston mill, and it is the inten- tion to increase the amount largely 1T April.
