Tombstone weekly epitaph., 1882-09-09

grade ore is expose,., without indications of walls. Mine looking very good and promises big things in:the future VIENNA. Prospecting on the 400 ievel is being prosecuted vigorously and IS locking very encouraging. The main erosscut is now extended westerly 235 feet. The 300 foot drift to the west IS now 14S feet. The up per level is still yielding the usual quanti ty of ore.
 RANDOLPH.
 The usual quantity of ore is being taken from this mine. All the drifts, wlpzes and crosscuts are showing up well, all being driven through ore bodies. The mill has again started up, and is reported running along smoothly.
 FRANKLIN.
 The two crosscuts have been extended about 100 feet each way from the shaft. Several strata of rich ore were cut, but none considered sufficiently extensive to warrant drifting The indications of ore bodies, however, are excellent.
 BLUE JACKET.
 The two shafts are being driven down. ward rapidly. No. 9 is now down nearly sixty feet in fine body of ore No 3 is down about one hundred feet and displays an immense body of low grade ore. The tunnel IS in about sixty feet, and expected to tap shaft two about 18O feet from the surface
 LIMA CONSOLIDATED.
 The incline has now attained depth of 195 feet At 200 feet a crosscut will be started each way to tap the ore body.
 COD.
 A fine body of ore was struck in the shaft, about 115 feet from the surface few days ago The new find is of a very high grade, and from present appearances give indications of staying qualities. Work is continued vigorously and everything looks well.
 PEABODY (RUssEL).
 luC llV'i uIht huS been extended some sixty feet. The ore bodies throughout the mine are holding ont in fine style, and give every indication of being more extensive as development progresses.
 HEAD CENTER.
 Nothing worthy of note has occurred here during the past week The usual quantity of ore IS being extracted, princi- pally between the first and third levels. The bullion output for last month amounts to about $23 3,O0O The management have under consideration the removal of the mill from the San Pedro to the mine, but have been unable to make satisfactory terms with the Huachuca Water Com, pany so far.
 GRAND CENTRAL.
 Nothing has been struck on the 600 as yet, though the indications of an ore body near the face of the crosscut are excellent. The ground is very hard, and progress is consequently slow. A crosscut has been started from the 200 level to investigate the new find on the boundary line between the Grand Central and Contention. The stopes all through the mine are looking good, and yielding t'e usual quantity of oie. A force of men have been put to work on the Naumkeag shaft, and cross cut has been started from the old works to connect. The bullion output for the month of August amounted to S105,O00.
 CONTENTION.
 Right on the heels of the big strike in the 600 level comes report of the discov- cry of an extensive body of very high grade ore in the 200 level. This is not authenti- cated from official sources, but has come to us in such way that there IS hardly a doubt of it's truth. While excavatIng for water pipes near the boundary line, few days ago, Superintendent Gage of the Grand Central discovered something that looked extremely like ore. On consulta- ton with MT. Leach, a couple of men were put to work to sink a little deeper, and to their astonishment fine body of rich ore, heavily laden with horn silver, was dis covered almost at the grass roots. The find was discovered to be in Contention ground, and was accordingly abandoned by the Grand Central folks, and some Con. tention miners put to work there.
 EMPIRE.
 Things at this mine are running along as usual. There has been nothing of more than usual importance transpired during the past week. The ore body is holding out well, the drifts and crosscuts pushed forward rapidly, and everything looking well. Superintendent Cavill was busily engaged making out his monthly report yesterday. He is decidey of the opinion that all that is necessary to make the En- pire big producing mine is the necessary reduction works.
 OLD GUARD.
 The usual number of men are employed here, and are principally at work pros. pecting. The mine never looked better.
 T. NJ. AND M. co.
 Nothing of unusual import took place in the mines of this company during the past week. The Combination ore body is extending, and the West Side is showing up unusually well. The works heretofore reported are continued. The mine is Tn fine condition.
 WINFIELD.
 This mine is looking about the same as
