MINING OUTLOOK.

Particular attention is called to the
 mining report in to-day's EplrArm
 everything contained therein goes tc
 snow the prosperity of this camp, and It's permanency. The strikes recent y made, in the Contention, Luck Sure and Little Devil mines, equal Tn richness any development, hither- to made. The showing in the Con. tention IS particularly favorable, owing to the depth at which ore is found, and its quality. In addition to the discovery at the 6OO.foot level, the Contention people have opened up a wonderful body of ore at the 2l2-foot level. At the latter depth there exists the prettiest and richess face of ore ever developed in Torab- stone district. From good authority we learn that car samples, across six feet of breast, show an average of S4oO per ton. A wonderful surface discovery has also heen made, at the line of tho Contention and Grand Central mines. The latter property never looked better than it does to. day, and its yield was never greater. The Little Devil and Luck Sure mines are opening up remarkably we'll, as are large rubber of other comparatively new properties. In fact, all along the I'.ne of m,nes, there exists feeling of elation and unu. sual activity, and the outlook for tombstone could not be more sat's'aoH,ry. The Summer sea- son bas been a dull one, in this can .p, as it invariably is in all parts Cf Arizona, owing to the fact that the heat causes cessation of pros- pecting, and prevents the investment of capital. With the cool weather comes renewed activity Tn all branches of business; new mines are discovered; the capitalist seeks an investment for his money; the laborer has employment; the merchant finds ready sale for his goods, and com munities grow in size and pros- perity. Not only in Tombstone dis. trict, but in all parts of Cochise county, prospects are most ilattering. The wonderful Copper Queen is even improving in depth, and surrounding properties are yielding remarkably well. Some very heavy sales are about being consummated, and we
 rophecy that the bullion output of the county will be more than doubled within a year. From Russellville, Winchester, Turquois, Dos Cabezas, and, in fact, from all the mining camps, the EplTAPH is daily receiv- ing good reports of ofincreasing wealth. Surely, Tombs.oneites should feel contented, for the outlook is wonder fully bright for the speedy growth and immediate prosperity of their city
