WEEKLY MINING REVIEW.

The past week has been uneventful in local mining matters. Things arc running along about as usual without material difference, save in the number of new prospects that ale being opened up and developed. The following is the latest so far as could be gleaned by our reporters:
 VIENNA.
 The south drift on the 400 foot level is now extended so feet in ledge matter. The north drift 125 in quartz or porphyry. The drift going west at ROO feet is now 105 feet Expect 10 strike ledge and connect with upfaise from 400 foot level at about 150 feet. Still shipping fine quality of ore from the upper level.
 sToNEwALL.
 The west winze in the 150 level is now down 150 feet, all in good ore. The south erosscut in the 160 IS in thirty feet. A rich streak of ore accompanied the cross cut all the way. Stoping is continued ln the 160 level, and ahout l25 tons ot ore is shipped daily.
 EAGLE.
 This claim is showing up fine and pro- misses to turn into one of our extensive be- nanzss at no distant day. The shaft is now down about sixty six feet, and the ledge is widening as rapidly as the shaft is being sunk. A streak of extremely rich ore has hugged the hanging wall for the past few days. and unless appearances are deceitful something big may be expected in few days. The ground is pretty hard and pro gress is not made as rapidly as heretofore.
 MARGUERITE.
 Work commenced on this claim on the 27th, and will be continued until the shaft attains 8 depth of 100 feet. It is now down 23 feet, and looking very promising. The ledge is four feet, and contains horn Silver and black manganese of the same general character as the Randolph.
 RANDOLPH.
 Winze No. 9 is now down ninety feet, and dlscloses fine body of high grade ore. No. winze is down sixty-eight feet, all in ore. No. is down thirty-four feet, and No. 4 has just been started. The north east drift from No. winxe is in about forty feet. The developments are equal to the general character of those reported fer the last month. The ore bodies in and wirze are immense, fully twelve feet of ore being exposed with. out encountering a wall. More than 100 tons of ore was extracted last week without any stoping. All the work done is in the nature of developments and no ore is hoisted except what Is actually in the way. Will commence shipping ore to the mill to day, and the first run will be made in few days.
 The crosscut east from the 100 level is now in about 70 feet. Several small string CTS of rich ore have been cut, but are not extensive enough to warrant drifting. The east crosscut is in about fifty feet, without any extensive strike being encountered.
 BLUE JACKET.
 Two shafts are being sunk on this prom ising mine, and both loom up we'll. Shaft No IS down 40 feet, and No. 2 is about 25 feet. Ore has been encountered all the way down, and the shafts will be continued until depth of 100 feet is attained, when erosscutting and drifting will commence. The vein crops out 500 feet down the hill, and tunnel was started yesterday, with the intention of tapping the shaft at the depth of 100 feet from the surface.
 The north drifts in the 400 and 450 levels are going along nicely and looking good. The west crosscut in the 450 level is making good progress. The south drift in the same level is progressing nicely In low grade ore. The stopes in the 400 and 450 levels are looking good and producing the usual amount of ore. The winze from the 400 to the 450 connected last Tuesday, at distance of 800 feet from the shaft. The usual quantity of ore is being hoisted and the mine is looking in excellent con- dition.
 TOMBSTONE Nj. & NJ. co.
 Nothing of unusual consequence has transpired in the mines of this company during the past week. The West Side Is coming out strong and promises to turn into one of the greatest honanzss yet dis covered in Tombstone. The works hereto. fore reported are continued, snd nothing new or startling has been inauguratsd
 CONTENTION
 In reporting the bullion output of thls mine last monlh, the intelligent compost tor led us into an unconscious error. The figures should have been $l664122 in- stead of $G,14l22 as reported. The drifts on the lower levels are being driven slowly Tn consequence of unusually hard ground The other works are running along smoothly without much change. The usual quantity of ore is being extracted Ten stamps of the Grard mill are still working on Contention second class
 GRAND CENTRAL.
 Good progress is being made on the drifts and crosscuts on the 800 and 600 levels, but nothing has been struck as yet. The ground is getting softer, and the works are being driven with more rspidity than heretofore. The prospects indicate ore in
