milling facilities are what we most need, and with plentiful supply Of the soueOus necessity, there remains To good reason why this place should not in the near future be made the theatre of extensive mining opera tions, showing that there is scattered over the district an ineXhaustible supply of ore which will afford large margins for profit. Let the slOping Hanks of the hills bordering our chief mines but be dotted with mills whose batteries can be supplied with the ores direct from the mines, and Tombstone's bullion yield would be of so pheDOminal a motion that il would at once place the district in the front rank oi the great metallic min ing centeTs of the American COnti- nent, and outside of winch there exists few of great prominence.
 Good properties abound through out the district, and to mention one without calling attention to all seem $ so much like making invidiCus dis functions that 1 sometimes feel like remaining silent until able to do jus tice to them all in the same article. This 1 am not now able 10 do, there
 fore l shall direct public attention but to two or three at this juncture.
 Of the fsmOuSly named Bob lnger- sOll l have had some few pleasant things to say lately, and l am glad to be able 10 repeat as pleasant things of 1t still. That it exhibits une of the bes. showinss in the dis trict fO! big mine is a fact doubted by no one Nho is at all acquainted with the property, or wh0 has seen and examined the huge pile of ore stored on ils dump. Snme of this ore is being now reduced at the Pillsbury ! five-stamp mlll, which stands at d ! convenient distance to the west of the | town on the road 10 Contention and l Benson. This fine property was some | time ago stocked m San Francisco. l Al one tune il was currently thought | that all the adverse titles had been either bought up or compromised ! This belief was, it appears, not well | fGunded, for il IS now rumored thai | there remains just one more, and, Il | is stated, the most formidable of all | he claimants 10 be yet settle Eith.'
 
 | This is designated the Colby claim. Ol | u;le, and since know very little
 about it, l shall hold my peace and
 allow the parties 10 the controversy tC
 do their own thinking, and shall only
 add the hope that the pending un- | pleasaDtness may be soon gmicabll | and honorabiy adjusted. Next to .ht ! Ingersoll, and a couple of hundred yards to the northeast, or rather tl
 the east of the latter's shaft, is located
 the shaft of the Blue Monday. This
 is a well-lOcateG property, and If ther, | is any eastern or northern trend to the | IngeTsOll lode, and it Is reasonable tC | suppose there is, then must Blue Mon
 day become, and soon, a sharer in th' ] good fortune of its fortunate neigh ] Dor. The formers shaft is now down ! some forty odd feet, and in favorable l ore stained matter. The iuequalitie:
 in iLe cuufisuratiOn Of the ground 1 will, however, make it incumbent | upon the Blue Monday people Co d, l more unproitabie sinking than diI
 the IngerSoll folks, who struck tL'
 led xe al a depth of about i0 feet below ! the surface, whereas it is prohab'
 that the Blue Monday shaft will no 1 reach ore ut much less depth thar
 l2j feet, and it may in uN probability
 have Co go deeper still. The promise,
 of thIs property are good. Nc.
