WEEKLY MINING REVIEW.

Notnlng or unusual importance has transpired during the past week in local mining annals. The output of ore and bullion continue about the same, and the only matter of interest was the decision of Judge Stillwell in tho suit brought by the Tombstone NJ. & M. Co. against the Way Up. Though the result of the decision was not unexpected, still it formed the staple subject of conversation for mining men, since the decision was promulgated.
 TOMBSTONE NJ. & N. co.
 Work continued on the 300 foot level of the Tough Nut and Good Enough, both drifts being in ground carrying punches of rich ore. Tke Combination ore body is yielding about the same. The 160 foot Tough Tut and 25o Good Enough are the principal ore bodies; the West Side vein is yielding fair quantity of high grade ore.
 GRAND CENTRAL.
 On the 600 foot level the drift has been driven south about 2l0 feet. No change reported since last week. The drift has been driven through, a strong ledge of very ieii OtS' oh siiC cVu, 1OV OOV kOVt velsdrfts are being driven south. All looking well. The cross-cut from the new shaft on the 600 foot level is in 75 feet Hard limestone rock and slow progress consequently. Estimates that ore will be struck at 150 feet The s,opes are looking as well as ever. The bullion output for last month amounted to 1.4650; routine work being done and nothing of unusual character. Ore looking better than for mcrly and milling to better purpose Mine down 696 feet; 1.5 miners employed
 CONTENTION.
 The Flora Morrison shaft has been closed for the present. Will ship ore next week to Girard mill; sending the usual amount of ore to the company mill on the river. Explorations still continue on the 800 and coo foot levels. X cross-cut is be- ing run on the 600. The mine is looking well and turning out the usual amount of ore.
 THE GERARD
 is partitioned into four levels at 150, 200, 210 and 329 feet. Work is being done on all levels, and each producing ore. Drift ing east on the l50 and sinking a winZe. The winZe is being sunk in base ore, rich but impracticable for milling purposes. Drift on 200-foOt level made connection with Tough Nut recently; started two drifts east on same level. Stoping is con- linued on the 279, and some ore is being worked out on the 329 An incline shaft has been sunk seventy feet from the 329. The mine looking well and yielding the usual quantity of ore. Ten stamps of the Glrard mill will commence work on Con- tention ore to day. Pumping from the Sulphuret for mill.
 OLD GUARD.
 The main incline down 230 feet, and driving levels at that depth. North drift 20 feet in q two.foot vein of good ore. The winze in 30 foot level, north; down 50 feet in ore. The drift north from 80 foot level, 90 feet in first class ore. Hoisting several tons of ore daily. About 175 tons Eow on the dump
 THE RANDOLPH.
 This promises to be one of the great mines of the district at no distant uay. Work of development is progressing rap. .dly and large bodies of ore exposed to view. Working on the 100 foot level Southwest drift in 105 feet. A winze has been started G6 feet from the shaft and is uOWu OU lect aDTedSL Ol luS NluEc tue ore body is 12 feet wide and no footwall yet in sight. Northeast drift in 20 feet 130 tons of ore taken out of last 60 feet of shalt; 250 tons from southwest dritt. Shaft No ? is down 8S feet, ore all the way. Prosecuting 10 tap southwest drift from 1 No at present Gut 3 foot vein last Thursday. About 300 tons of ore on dump, running from $50 to $200. Quality of ore chloride, horn silver, carbonate and manganese. Mine looking fine and worked with avldity.
 FRANKLIN.
 This mine is down about 50 feet, and a contract let for sinking loo feet. Shaft cut through several strata of rich ore from one to three feet wide. When down will crosscut both ways and drift on level.
 The north drift of the 400foot level is now in S8 feet diff !s.ne same level, 6s feet. The crosscut going west on the l00- foot level is now extended no feet. The st0pes are looking as well as usual. There were only l20 tons of ore shipped from this mine Tn April, owing to the mill being running on Ingersoll ore.
