Prospects of Prosperity in This Pronising Camp A Future Feeder for Tucson-BEisf Mention sf Some of its Valuable Prope-tisi
 The CITIZEN las always expressed great confidence in this district, and our predictions in relation to it are soon to be realized. It is now coming to the front in a substantial manner and soon shipments of bullion will commence. The first mine in this district, and the one most thoroughly developed, IS the GuNsIeHr MINE
 This mine is now opened on three levels, with an incline shaft sunk POO feet Tn depth. At this depth cross drift IS be- ing run to find the west wall of the vein, or the Silver Girt vsin. The distance 1t will be necessary to run fIom bottom of shaft is 90 feet, if the vein continues to pitch as on the surface. The Gunslght has a dip easterly, and the Silver Glrt westerly. The course of the Silver Glrt is west of north ten degrees, and the course of the Gunsight north of east fifteen degrees. The intersection of these veins will be about 100 feet west of the present shaft in Gunsight mine. The cross drift on the 200-foOt level has been run 40 feet, all in vein except four feet. Thirty-two feet of solid ore of good grade was found at this point, a porphyry horse was encountered which was four feet across, then ore was again found. The face of .he cross cut IS now in fine ore, which carries horn silver, bromide of silver, sulphurets of silver, chloride of silver, with streaks of black metal which Is base, carrying large per centage of silver. In all rhese ore is found small per centage of gold. The ore now being extracted IS free milling. It is estimated that the ore now opened iD the mine and on the dumps will run a forty-stamp mill two years, and the ore body is as yet but little opened mp.
 The company now have hoisting works on the way from Philadelphia, capacity thirty-horss power. They are also con- mencing large vertical treblc-compart- ment working shaft, which will intersect the vein at the depth of about 800 feet. A mill of forty stamps will be sent on from Philadelphia. This company have an immense mine. showing great perma- nency. Every thing around the mine is being placed in order for the reception of the hoisting works and mill. which will soon be on the ground.
 MINERAL BED CONSOLIDATED MINING COMPANY.
 This company have let a contract to sink their main shaft further depth of 100 feet and open up another level on their ore body and prepare for extract ing ore for milling. They have on dump and exposed in the mine large amount. Their shaft IS well timbered to the depth of 100 feet in two compartments and everything looks like business in and about this lline. This property belongs to Philadelphia capitalists.
 MORNING STAR CONSOLIDATED MINING co.
 The Morning Star is the first eIten- sion of the Gunsight, south, and when opened will, it IS believed, be as good. A shaft has been sunk co feet, the whole distance in ore. Assays give S101 per ton in silver. There is on dump about about 100 tons of fine ore.
 THE MORNING STAR EXTENSION
 Is the southern continuation of the Morning Star. A contract has been let 10 sink q shaft 100 feet. The shaft Is down 45 feet on the hanging wall side of the vein. A crosscut near the surface shows vein ten feet in width. The vein at this point shows a contact, and large chimney of ore of great value will he opened without doubt. The mine is owned by Philadelphia company called the Morning Star Extension Mining Company.
 OTHER MINIS.
 The Westward is opened by an inclin- ell shaft about 30 feet deep, showing fine ore. The width of the vein is II feet Ii is good property.
 The Atlanta Is being sunk 100 feet by contract The depth now reached is 25 feet. The ore in the shaft is eight feet w,de and of good grade. This mine and the Atlanta Extension north are mines of great promise and all that Is needed IS developing to bring them into paying properties if they do not belle surface and present indications.
 THE CANT.
 This camp has passed it's dull season and now will begin period of life and activity. They soon expect to listen to the music of the stamps and send forth the bullion. A contract has been let to Brown i& Wall to open road from that camp to this city. This will eventually bring us large trade, as all teaning will be done from this city in- stead of Gila Bend as now. Our busi- ness men should help on this enterprise, which will make one of the most promis- ing camps in the Territory a feeder to thei- business. There is no question but that there are extensive mines in that section of the Territory and they should at an early day be made tributary to this city. It is distant from this city about one hundred miles, over level country.
