THE GREAT INDUSTRY.
Facts and Statistics Concerning Mines and Mining in Pima COunty-A Wonderful Showing.

Tine mines of Pima county are. we might say. almost untouched. A few have been developed sufficiently to determine their character, and some fine mills and three smelters have been started up during the past year, and so far every one of them have proved successful We have endeav- ored to secure complete returns from all the mills in operation, lut failed in two or three instances. We desire to return thanks to those who have SO kindly furnished reports, and trust that those who did not furnish the in- formation we desired may do better by Is in future.

 zhe Boston and Arizons Reduction
 Works
 Report the shipment of bullion valued at S46, ,624eS This was from lS0 tons of ore crushed, and shows an average yield of nearly S60 per ton. We be- Ileve il is the intention of this com pany hereafter 10 do custom work, which will be greatly 10 the advan- tage of miners and pro spectors in that locality.
 The Sunset NH.
 The Sunset, under date of the l7th inst, reported producing ten bars of bullion from a short run, but failed 10 place valuation upon the bars. The silver bars produced by the Tomb stone mills usually run from s2OOO to s25OO. Taking il for granted that the Sunset bars were about the average, or say $225O, we have as the result of the Sunset S22, 300. A large amount of work has been done on the Sunset during the past year.
 The Contention.
 We have not succeeded Tn obtaining the official report of the yield of the Contention mine. We are therefore compelled to make up the following report withthe material al hand, which approximates the amount, and can not be far out of the way; stIll, we should have been very thankful to MT.
