MINING REVIEW.
The Mines on Military Hill.

Military Hill is Il locality little heard of in the mining reports of this district. This IS a high, limestone hill, about one mile south of and q little 10 the east of the Grand Central mine. At its northwestern base is the Emerald mine. somewhat widely known in mining circles Going south, sklrtlng the western slope of the mountain, we find the Side.w heel, Huguenot, Corona, Battling Boy, Waphun and Silver Plume, all prospects of great promise, and particu. larly the Side.wheel and Battling Boy. The former of these two last Damet claims has continuous outcrop of rich manganese ore throughout its entire length. Assays from the surface of this veln range from SIS to over $500 per ton. This vein where exposed in two shafts, the one six feet and the other 10 feet deep, is fully two and one-halt feet thick, with indications of steadily widening The dip of the ore ap- pears to be to the east or into the noun. tain.s
 Going around to the south and east slopes ot the mountain, we find the Big and Little Pedros, Idaho, Ivanhoe, Mattie Il. and Honeycomb, all good prospects, and more particularly the two Pedros. Upon these two locations there is most remarkable naturalization of the surface. It seems that almost every crevice received its share of the precious metals during the process of deposition. Another peculiar feature is that upon the eastern slope the veins all dip west, or into the heart of the hill, which fact, taken in connection with the western veins dipping east, inferen italy would lead one to expect man. moth deposit of rich ore under the center of the mountain. A good deal of work has been done upon the Pedros, developing a fine show ing of rich mineral. One shaft sunk on an adjoining claim, about 50 feet east of the Big Pedro, has developed strong, well defined lode, with a strike directly through the heart of this location, and little to the south of the summit of
 
 cropping of quartz, carrying rich sulphuret of galena, about 200 feet to the west of this shaft, which cropping IS on the Big Pedro, and in our opinion is strong presumptive evidence of the continuity of this ledge through the mountain.
 Upon the northern summit of tho hlll is the Green Cloud mlne, upon which there is an incline shaft down about 100 feet, developing strong vein of ore, much of which is very rich. We saw about thirty tons of frstclass ore on the dump, with, perhaps as much more second.class. This is very good showing tor d valuable mine, and demonstrates the fact that Military Hill is one of the most thoroughly miner. alizcd portions of Tombstone district. Time and thorough development alone can tell the amount of latent wealth hidden away In the recesses of the silurian land- mark.

The afternoon and evening were
whiled away in music, social converse,
etc, after which the guests lott for
their respective homes leaving behind
them their best wishes for the future
