The West Side mIne is producing more than usual. IE the Toughnut an upraise connection iStbeing made from the 200 to the 300-foot level, under an extensive ore body. All the mines of the company are looking excel- lent.
 GRAND CENTRAL.
 The crosscut on the 69O-foot level is in 100 feet The 300, 400 and 6OO levels. go- ing south are looking excellent. The hard rock still holds out, but shows symptoms of weakening The stopes all through the mine are looking first-rate. About ninety tons of ore is being shipped to the mill daily.

Working on two levels, About 1,500 tons of second-class ore now on the dump, Not making any effort to extract ore, but opening up the mine in good shape. The mine never looked better.
 INGERsOLL
 The usual amount of ore is being taken out. This mine was sunk on eighty feet and drifted.i At the end of drift an incline was sunk. It is now proposed to continue 10 upraise the incline from the drift to the surface. This work will enable the com pany to prospect much virgin ground. An extensive Dody of very fine ore exposed at present.. The mine looking excellent.

 THE SAN DIEGO. 1 About two miles east of Tombstone ST, the group of mines owned by the Woro. nocO Minlng'Company, the principal clain being known as the San Diego. Yesterday a representative of the EPITAPH visited this mine in company with the Superln. tendent, Mir, A. l.. Fowler, and gleaned tn, following information.

The first level is 1S0 feet below tn, surface, and has been driven south iron the shaft S7 feet, and north 40 feet. There l now five feet of milling ore in the face o the north drift, and about eighteen Inche Tn the face of the south drift. Average as says give yield of $25 per ton.
 The second level was opened 226 fee from the surface The south drift is in l s feet from the station, showing four feet 0 ore between we'll defined walls. The nort drift has been pushed 30 feet, with sp or body over three feet in width. The ore o the level is a carbonate, mixed with blac spar, assaying from $10O to $500 per toi The vein is well defined between smoot and regular walls of quartzite and porph yry:, . .. opened south 80 feet and 61 feet north. Th vein in the face of the south drift is full three feet, composed of carbonates an galena. In the north drift body of car boRates mixed with rich tale, impregnate with silver, is encountered. Some of Uni tale has assayed as high as $400 per tol An upraise has been made on the 1S0-foC level, forty-nine feet, all the way in ric carbonate and ga'ena ore.
