WEEKLY MINING REVIEW.

1 man who has been in the district from tn, beginning, gave it as his opinion that ther was more actual work being done nov than at any period in the history of th, Tombstone district. The wonderful rich. ness of the Randolph has given an impe- tus to prospecting on an extensive scale ir the southwestern portion of the district Scarcely day but new developments o astonishing richness are made in the Ran dolph, and the result is that every claim owner in the vicinity has gone to work wiih will to discover if the Randolph bonanzas extend to it's neighbors. A strike of considerable magnitude has also been made Tn the Goodenough that promises when opened up, to reveal an extensive body of ore. The other mines throughout the district are holding their own in good shape, and everything looks encouraging. The Tranquility is turning out some of the richest ore ever taken from Tombstone mine, and the supply seems inexhaustible. The following are the latest facts connected with our great industry;
 EAGLE.
 Good progress has been made during the past week and the shaft is now down nearly sixty feet. A nice vein of ore was cut few days ago, that from present appearances wtll concentrate with the main body in short time. The mine is looking well and everything is running along smoothly.
 BLUE MONDAY.
 Two drifts are being run, north and south, from the first level and tke indica- cations of large ore body are very good. Work is progressing rapidly.
 LoNGFELLow.
 This promising claim is located near the Stonewall, and was started up with full force of men few days ago. An air compressor is being fixed at the shaft, and as sOoii as completed, two drifts will be started from the 75 foot level. The mine is in excellent condition and showing up well.
 sTONEwALL
 The winze on the 160 foot level, 100 feet west of the shaft is now down 125 feet and looks very good. Connection was made between the 100 and 160 levels & few days ago. and stoping has now com. menced. A cross cut has been started north from the 160 level and is now in several feet About twenty-five tons of ore are hoisted daily, and shipped to tho mill
 CONTACT.
 A drift has been started at 105 feet from the surface, and large body of ore dis covered. The ore is of the same quality as the Stonewall. and promises big things for the near future.
 RANDOLPH. The Randolph still continues to gladden. the hearts of it's owners, and scarce day passes but developments of an extraordi- nary character are reported. The mine seems to be mountain of mineral with a few ribs of country rock running through | It. All the drifts, cross-cuts, and winzes are in good ore and the more development progresses, the higher the grade of the | ore mineral. Will commence shipping | gre to the mill in few days.
 FAIR VILLA. Have not made much progress in sink | ng since last report in consequence of | lnding it advisable to timber the shaft | rom the bottom up, in places where the | 'Ock was most insecure and loose Have | put in four sets of timber, 4X6, with ? | nch cribbing. Ventilation in shaft now Tery good; at bottom of shaft change for | he better took place, showing material of | very encouraging nature, Now down 'ighty-three feet.
 INGERsOII.
 la l.. ng up, and struck good streak of rich | ,re few days ago. The west drift from he so level is making good progress. It 8 being driven in lime with very promis- ng indications. A nice body of ore was discovered in the south crosscut from the vest drltt. The stopcs look about as usual. rich ledge of mineral was struck in the vest drift from the 120 level yesterday. II usual amount of ore is hoisted daily, nd tue mine looks in excellent condition.
 HOPE. This promising claim, located near the ngersoll, was started up a few days ago. The shaft is now down sixty feet, and a ontract has been let to sink sixty feet fur her. No pay matter has been struck as ct, but the indications are very good.
 CONTENTION.
 The usual amount of ore is being turned ut, and good progress made in the works leretofore reported. Second class ore from he dump. of the old works is being shipped O the Girard mill. A new ore bin has 'een placed in position to facilitate load ng. Explorations on large scale are 'eing carried on in the mine and everything s looking well. The bullion product for last month was $6.14122. About 1900 tons # ore is on the mill dump in anticipation 'f the rainy season.
 GRAND CENTRAL.
 The drifts heretofore reported are going long about the same. The crosscuts in he 400 and 600 levels in the new works re making better progress in consequence # softer ground. The stopes all over the nlne are looking about the same and fielding the usual amount of ore. There g about 2000 tons of ore at the mill, so hat there may be no suspension during be rainy season.
 HEAD CENTER.
 Stoping is continued above the first evel, and thirty tons of ore shipped daily. he shaft between the first and second evels has been straightened and water aken from the Huaehuca main to the oisting works Steam noistng works 7ill be erected in few weeks.
 TRANQUILITY. Some very high grade ore carrying na i've gold and green horn silver in large uantities is being taken out of the drilt hirty feet south of the whip shaft in the o foot level. The ore bod, seems to be and richer in quality than nythlng yet discovered.
