intendent Baldwin has recommended the erection of large reduction works at Stanton, or that the present mill eapaci- ty be increased to 40 or 50 stamps.
 While the late dispute over the own ership of the Volcano has not been map pily settled" (as We are informed by last weeks Belt,) arrangements have been made to resume work, which Is at pres ent under the supervision of k. M. Mar tell, and IS, We understand, progressing very favOrably.
 Superintendent Lennon informs us that the east cross-cut Of the Silver Mug get is now in l56 feet, and the face is in soft ground, intermixed with clay, quartz and porphyry. There is quite a flow Of water. and from present indications, the ledge which this cross-cut intended to cut is near at hand The north drift is in loo feet in good vein matter, inter- mixed with streaks Of ore. Considera- ble water Is also coming in from this direction.
 The shaft of the Washington (Globe Copper) has reached depth of about @ feet, and the vein is reported to be get ting more solid When 20 feet more in depth has been added, cross-cut will be run to the main ledge.
 In few days, work will be commenc- ed on the BOrva Group, under the su- pervision of Capt. s. l.. Burbridge. The property Is in the vicinity of the Old Dominion Copper COmpany's mines, and Is owned by this company. It will be developed as rapidly as time and money will permit. IL Is probably as favorable a prospect as can be found in the dis trict, and unOer proper management, will develop into a valuable property. There Is q good showing of ore on the surface, which. we are informed, will pay well.
 Reports of tine latest developments on the Old Dominion Copper mines prop erty are very encouraging. Since con nection was made with the tunnel and shaft. they have had splendid air, and work progresses more rapidly Tn cOnse- quence. The tunnel has been extended about 2j feet beyond the shaft, and as was predicted, the pay-streak has con timed to widen until the entire tunnel is in ore. Its quality is also improving, and We venture the opinion that that winch is now being extracted will aver age 70 per cent. copper. We were shown some very fine pieces few days since, which were taken from the face of tun- mel, and which carries considerable gold. This companys smelters and hoisting works are between here and the railroad, but will probably t with some delay on account of ..c prevailing rains, which have swollen the Gila river so that 1t Is at present almost impossible. Everything at the mines IS in readiness for their immediate erection, upon ar irving; and We can safely calculate on seeing steam up and lively camp at these properties by the lst of October.
 Late reports from the Fl Capitan state that at depth of loo feet body of very rich ore has been struck, measuring two feet in width. Meek and company are pushing the work ahead with con- mendable activity, and will doubtless soon have Fl Captain developed into a property of immense value.
 Latest advices from the Mineral Creek are that station is being put in at the bottom Of the shaft, and on its compile tioD sinking will be resumed. The di- rect connection uf shaft and tunnel has been made, showing six-foOt ledge, with three feet of solid ore, and of good grade. The machinery in the mill works well, and as soon as it IS possible to get the supplies to mill everything will be in readiness for starting mp.

 The Elizabeth is the north extension of the Alice nline, and has ledge sey- enteen feet in width. Two shafts have been sunk on the claim, one tO depth of nineteen feet and the other thirteen feet. rha ore carries $i2 in silver to the ton, and averages about 4O per cent Of lead.
 SAN PEDRO DISTRICT
 [Globe Chronicle
 Mir. ODell is acting as agent for the sale of the Arizona Chief mine, and has bonded the property to some San Fran cisco parties, who have asked for and re- ceived a thirty days extension on the bond.
 The vein of the Yellow Hammer has widened out tO four feet, and now carries from 2j to 6O per cent. of copper, and assays as high as S2O0 to the ton in sil- yer. The main shaft has reached depth of fifty feet, and k being driven down as fast as possible.
 Shaft No. on the Sample mine is down 22 feet, uncovering remarkably rich vein two feet and half in width. ! The ore will probably average S100 clear across the vein, and some of 1t has as- saved as high as Sl7,79S.90. W. L. Bai- l ley * Co.,, of Pinal, are the owners.
 QuIte a number of prospectors are at l work in the district, opening mp new claims, and it has indications of a bright | future.
 The ditch for the new stamp mill is completed and the machinery was ox- pected to arrive from Tucson this week | It is the intention of the builders to l have the mill in running order by the 1 18th Of next month.
 TOMBSTONE DISTRICT.
 lNugect.l
 The Tombstone M. X NJ. company's | property looks better now than 1t ever | has, and the Corbin and Gird mills are l crushing more ore than heretofore. both | being in fine running order, and having | a reserve of nearly 900 tons of ore at | their dumps to draw on. From shaft | No. l. on the West Side mine, drift has | been started at the point where the shaft reached dept of l06 feet. Shaft | No on the same Is down seventy-five feet. ore being extracted from both | points. The combination shaft yields about forty-two tons of ore per day. all | that the dumps will hold. Ore bin No. 1, supplied from tie Goodenough and Toughnut mines, yields about the same amount Sinking k still continued in shaft No. G, and the west and south drifts from this point are making good progress and yielding good ore. A new level has been started at the 300-foot point in the TOughnut and GOodenough shaft, and is in thirty feet. The returns for August will exceed that of July.
 The Grand Central north and south drifts from the nan cross-cut on the 40G-fOot level are both making good progress. The same may be said of the drift from the l00-foot level to connect with the new shaft. Other drifts have also been started from the 3O0 and 4O0- foot level for the same point The winze from the 400-fOOt level being sunk on the vein is now in a better class of ore than ar our last report. The ore stope on the 30O-fOOt level Is fully thirty seven feet across, and is a magnificent body of ore, which will average over S75 tO the ton. Neither wall has yet been touched and its full extent remains a surmise. II is rarely one has the good fortune to see such body of ore, as there are but few mines capable of mak- ng such a showing Neither the guides nor cables have yet arrived for the new works.
 Head Center was started up again night, and so far there is nothing new to report.
