The 100 level, running north 40 feet on the ledge, connects st the terminus by a winze with the l5O level. IS feet from the Contention line. The l50 level has Q total length of 15S feet, being opened from the shaft 10 the Contention line. Eight feet from the terminus a WinZe con- encts with the 200 level. All this de- velop ment is on the east ledge, in fine milling ore, the veIn on the 100 level having a width of 16 feet. The west Iedge. at a depth of 200 feet, has been ouentd south 700 feet. On this level inc two veins are about 2I5 feet apart. On lhe 300 level thIs ledge is reached bv A 3OO- foot cross cut, running south of west, from whicE intersection the vein has been opened south 40 feet and norih 15S feet, the last 9S feet of the ledge being a giant and the largest on fine hill. IL is 19 feet in width, and I. now being timbered up. Car san nIes for average from this level of both lodges go from slSO to $l4O. This company have now over 5yOO tons of ore on the dump, all of which has been taken out in drifting the ledge, DO stoping having yet been done. No development yet made in Tombstone District gives greater assurance of the permanency of its lodges than the Grand Central The veins on the lower level, lying almost vertical in quartz ite aud pOrphyry, have a combined width of over s feet, and are of high grade average. With tho hoisting machinery now in operation, and the admirable manner in which the mine has been opened. it can be worked ad- yantageously to a depth of 1000 feet With ths certainty of dividend -prop- erty in their possession, the company, through their abiJ Superintendent, have operated systematically from the commencement Having determined the fact of bullion producer in hand, they contracted for 30-stamp niil, which is located about mile and half south from Contention City, on the San Pedro River, and will be com. pleted early iE February.

silver in Slate Rock and in Sandstone.

| silver in Slate Rock and in Sandstone.
 A correspondent of the Chicago Mining Review, writing from Silver City, New Mexico, speaking of the Seventy Six mine, says: "Thers has recently been discovered in one of tbe crOss-cuts large body of silver bear ing slate which has caused sone of our professors and mining experts a good deal of brown study. Where the tunnel was cut through this slate it exposed face from five to eight feet in depth fir a distance of 240 feet. Horn silver is found through all the slate, and in the seams broad sheets of native silver no thicker than tissue paper are found. But the most SinglaI form in which the metal is found in this slate Is n round balls or pellets of almost pure silver, ranging from the size of pinhead to that of quail's egg. These balls, which very much resemble fossil, are in many places thickly interspersed through the slate, and on actual test are found 10 contain 95 per cent. of silver. Hun dreds of tons of this singular silver bearing slate are exposed by the cut and can be mined at less than g. per on
 The Virginia City Enterprise adds: When it Was announced . few years ago that silver had been found in sandstone in the Silver Reef region, in Utah, the geologists and scientists turned up their noses. They said such thing was impossible and to talk Of it was nonsense. Yet the sil- yer was there, and practical miners went ahead and mined and milled it Co a profit. In the Utah silver bearing sandstone, vegetable remains and pet rihcations are abundant, and these, too, contain a workable per cent. of silver. How the silver came into the sandstone has been discussed quite Frequently iD the camp, as may be imagined, and also among experts. The theory of conjemporaneous dope sition is held by some, while others hold that il has been deposited from ascending mineral solutions or va- pors'

Our Pets

The Phenix Gazette don't like the tramps, and Since the incep- tion of the crusade against iramps in Tucson and Tombstone, that fraternity have turned their steps northward, and in consequence, Phsnix at present IS suffering from an influx of this undesirable class of tourists. When they reach our town they at once go into winter quarters, as tho monde script apparel in which they ars arTayed prevents their facing the chill blasts of more northern regions. Of late a number of them have become domiciled in the Center-street Church and the scenes presented in the edifice after their nightly orgies have caused some of our stitfest deacons to give vent to their outraged feelings in words more forcible than religions Many of the windows and lamps of the church show very rough usage. We would suggest to the authorities that the nest be broken up, and that hereafter such visitors be forced to cast their Tucson blankets under the mesquit tree which may best suit theIr idea of beauty and comfort, or else that they be allowed to enjoy tho soft side of plank furnished by our tax payers.

A correspondent in Meyers District rates the CITIZEN most roundly for not publishing more items from that section. Now, the CITIzEN wants 10 do small amount of grumbling itself. Meyers District is one of the most promising in the Territory, and yet the inhabitants thereof keep the outer world in darkness respecting the facts thereof. The CITIZEN does what it can for all the districts, and would do more if the reliable people of the sev- eral camps would take little trouble to keep it posted on current news. But the expense of sending . special correspondent regularly to all the camps is more than any of the Tern torisl papers can afford, and the best informed among the miners should do theIr share In furnishing the news.

The Globe Mining Exchange is now thoroughly organized and in working order. Its Tucson agent is Edward Coker, to whom the Exchange entrusts it's interests in this section. The Globe Exchange and the Tucson Exchange should now work in har- mony with each other, and we believe they will. Our people are now well satisfied that our American snd Mex ican Mining Exchange will be sue cess and prove a great advantage to our city, as well as 10 miners snd purchasers of mines, and the two Ex- changes should effect much if they work in harmony. We also assure our Globe contemporaries that the Tucson press will do all in its power to second their efforts in this direction.

 MEYERS DISTRICT, Jan. 8. !
 EDITOR CITIZEN: Away to the southwest corner of Pima county is a small mining district called Meyers did you ever hear of such a place? ? We think not, judging from the notice you take Of us. Some of the boys say you are high-tcned, selfish, the handle of a jug, that you want money to publish items, and some say you are - sight worse than all of the above, and when we get our boom il will not be safe for your upper works to come among us for patronage. So much for our introduction.
 The principal mine (at present. in the district is the Gun Sight, which beyond doubt is a bonanza to its owners. The main shaft IS 200 feet deep, well timbered, with levels along the vein each way from shaft every fifty feet in depth, as well as cross cuts every fifty feet; average width of vein, thirteen feet; returns from ore shipped to 'Frlsco-lowest $155, high est $2996 per ton. There is now ore enough on the dump and in sight ready for stopiDg gay the pur- chase money and TOT development, amounting to s7o, OO0. A short time ago the mine was sold to Philadelphia capitalists who are now on the way out to take possession. Reduction works are ordered, and it wIli be but a short time until Meyers District be- comes one of the bullion producers.
 The Horn Silver mine, sold a short time ago to New York parties, has again changed hands; this time to a Philadelphia company, who are also on their way out to commence devel- opments.
 The Mineral Bed mine shaft is down 100 feet, showing large vein, with fine body of ore at bottom of shaft, and will shortly resume work again.
 The north extension of the West ward has 6 shaft 30 feet deep, with five foot vein, carrying high grade ore, back sulphurets, wax chlorides and galena. The owners will soon make 8 shipment to San Francisco.
 The north extension of the Silver Girth has a shaft 30 feet deep, and a seven-foot vein, the ore from which works SleS per ton.
 The north extension Atlanta shaft is down 20 feet, and numerous others, of which I do not remember the names, are down from 10 to 30 feet, some giving high and others low as- says. All are good prospects, and the boys are hammering away at them, generally speaking, in good spirits, | and as they develop l may keep you posted. With all our belligerent | feelings towards you. our worst wish | is that you may pass happy and | prosperous year. We think you are deserving of it. More anon.
