 Contention mi.e that only few word are required 10 confirm the statemen that thIs IS one of the richest mines il the district. The main shSfI is dowi $50 feet. There are tour levels, and great deal of work has been done il drifting. Several veins of very ricl ore have been struck, and there i. plenty Of work for their mill for ; long time to come. There are two hoisling works; the new one, capablt of sinking 1900 to 2O00 feet, k now being erected, and for strength re minds one of the machinery on tn, Comstock. IL will not be long, there fore, before the vexed question ot tho permanence of ArizOna's ore bodies al considerable depth will be forever settled.
 The Head Center comes next. The;i hoisting works, the produce of the nrst assessment, are now going up. They have a large quantity of ore CD the dump, and hear have lately brought 10 light some containing q good deal of gold. This company have only a small portion of a full claim, and though they have added to their extent of property the Yellow Jacket, both claims combined are not more than one-half claim, if it is even as much as that.
 The Sulpburet mine has been at work some time. Has a good hoist ing works; a shaft 4j0 feet deep; POO tons of good ore on the dump, and good prospects ahead This mine is the property of Philadelphia com pany, to which also belong the Tran quilljy (which mas hosting work ], Flora Mror.son, and the Con- ten'ment, which is the north 'eXtension of the Contention. has 300 foot shaft and drift running west al 40 feet
 Flora Morrison has a shaft of 120 feet and Is one of the new prOmisio Z location, of the dislrici.
 The Empire, of the Empire Mill and Mining Company, of Boston, Mass, has good boi>ting works and shaft of 450 feet and various dnfJs and underground workings No ore Is al present being extracted, anu from what l saw Of thIs mine, 1 can say lt has an excellent situation and a prom ising future.
 The Tombstone Mil and Mining Company own the Tough Nut, Good Enough and many other claim, lheir property covering in all l5D acre>. These two mines are the only ones that have so far been well deye.OprG, and it would weary you to recoro detail of all the shafts, drifts, winzes, cVoss-c -cut~, elc. that have been opened out. Suffice il 10 suy that At u dis tunce reaching from lCg to l6O, feel below the sulf4ce, enough ore Is m sight to keep iheIr nil running for many day, and still they will have large resources 10 fall ha upon when wanted. Dick GirI tells me they are turning out 5000 and over iu bullion daily, employ about lS0 man in al and that everything Is gong on ail riEht as It should. When 1t is com puted that 90, GOO tons of ere con be cOunied on without exceeding ihr vertical depth of 2j0 feet irem the surface, some idea of the vast richness Nl lllNE llIAt AtlEt AA NfAll t- lAAAfA AAAA AAs
 The NiZIua mine, uwHe0 by 25 Peun-ylvaniaus, has a working shalt 2IO feet deep. Within lhe past two days, in running their Haskell and Ana drifts, they encountered body of very high grade carbonate ore 300 feel from the main shaft and only 70 feet from the surface, the a~say> Of which gave from $SO to $60OO. They have good hoi-liug works aRd their ore Is milled at the Boston mill. Now that su lair a prospect has so suddenly opened upon them they will put on an extra force of men and work the mine for what it is worth This Company own the Yuka, Poor X and fraction 0! another claim called Tough Nut Nos.
 The Girard mine, owned by PAila- delphianS, has been fairly developed and has produced some rich ore. They have substantial wOiks erected and with greater depth, will soon be h. cluded among the other mines oi hrst rank.
 In district like Tombstone, where for cIrcult of ten miles there are at least 70U0 locations, 1t would take long time to get around and take notes on all the prospect holes encountered. Many mines are being rapidly devel- uped, and among these i must men ton few of the best.
 Bob Iugcrsoll has produced some are as rich as any in camp, aud Tn general character very similar 10 that found in Tough Nut ard Good ELough. Close by is the Lucky Cuss, another very promising prospect, whI ,h will soon be probed to disclose Its valuable contents.
 The Survey, which lies next to the Vizina, has two shafts. This mlne was purchased by B. B. Minor some time back. Work is steadily progress ing on this claim, and il this gentle mans general good discrimination proves right in this case, Le has got hold of a valuable property.
 Beyond the Grand Genital lies the South Extension of that mine. Two shafts are sunk-lhe first one 10 a depth of l25 feet (llo feet ot which are timbered) and the other SO feet. Tbe lasr is now being turned into double working shaft, and m both oI them veins of good mineral have been cut through. Men are now engaged putting up various buildings, and al' that l saw there goes 10 show that work will soon be pushed forward with energy.
 Near this claim lie the Numkeag and sydney, un both of which -hai's are being sunk and other develop ments pushed torwar5.
 The Mountain Maid, situated ID the town, las four shafts. In the old old snafi, .97 feet deep, some good ore has been encountered, and in the u?- per or No. f shaft, 95 feet deep, with g feet of drifts, a body of chloride ore has been struck, assaying S5O to S230.
 I Near the Phenix and Plum mines have been bought here for moderate prices and incorporated in San Fran cisco, and there Is no reason 10 Tear they will not both develop into good mines in time.
