MINES AND MINING.
Our Weekly Review

The mining outlook in Tombstone, never appeared brighter or gave promise of more brilliant results, than at the present mo- ment. The leading claims are yielding more than the average quantities of ore, and the mill results are fully up to the usual standard. The litigation which has im- peded the prosecution of work on some of our most valuable mines, has been brought to a close, and operations will be resumed on larger scale than ever before. With the starting of the Tranquility and the The tervener several hundred men will be set at work.
 Thus far the work of development in the district, has demonstrated the fact, that as depth is reached, the ore bodies improve in size and richness. As near as we have been able to ascertain, the bullion yield for May is fully up to the preceding month, and with the starting up of the Boston Company's mill near Charleston, We look to see it largely increased for June. Now that the Huachuca Water company have their works nearly completed, it is almost certain that one, or perhaps two new mills, will be erected near town. The saving in the cost of transportation will enable the owners to work the immense dumps of low grade ores which have ac- cumula,ed in this camp during the past three years.
 Looking the mining field carefully over, it is pleasure to note the evidences of success and prosperity on every side; and at this time when our people have re- ceived such severe blow from the fiery element, it is still moro gratifying to re- cord them.
 Below we give the latest developments all along the line;
 EMPIRE.
 The drifts on the 400 and 45O foot levels are still being pushed ahead, 38 feet being gained in the former during the past week A cross cut to the east has been on this level and is now Tn % feet, all the way in fine ore. Rich strisgers of ore have also been encountered in the face of the drift, and everything indicates the presence of an ore body. The large ore body on the 450 foot lev el is steadily enlarging. showing pronounc ed dip to the east. No stoping is at pres ent being done, all the work being in the way of development As hr as explored the ore body on the 450 foot level is from 25 to 30 feet in width. About z tonsof ore is being hoisted daily. Under the jud cious ! management of Supt. Abbott, the mine i: being thoroughly prospected, and prom lses to become one of our steady bullion producers.
 GRAND CENTRAL.
 Nothing of unusual importance has transpired in the Grand Central during tht past week. The drifts heretofore reported are being driven in the 4, s and 600 foo
 avels. All are looking well, and the min, IS in excellent condition. The main eros. cut in the 600 foot level (new works) is u | 13O feet in very promising ground. The stopes and all upper works are in excel lent condition. Ninety tons of ore art | shipped daily, and the mill IS being gain. ed on at the rate of ten tons day. This | will enable the mine to have big start nn the mill when tha rainy season begins It is expected that the bullion shipment this month will exceed that of last. son INGERsoLL. The foreman of this mine was in higi glee, when our reporter visited the mine yesterday. Cause: big strike. Some o the richest ore extracted from a Tomb stone mine, has been taken from the In- l gersoll, within few days past. The ort body referred to, was discovered on the & foot level, by the side of an old stope. Il was struck accidentally. A set of timberi were being put in and to make room
