Mining Notes.

The Old Guard is now shipping ore to the Boston mill Between 400 and 500 tons of rich chlorides and carbonates are now on the dump, and the mine is pro- ducing from 15 to 20 tons daily. This valuable mine is now added to the list of regular bullion producers. It is more than likely that a new mill will shortly be erected on the Randolph. MT. J. Brews- ter, the secretary of the company, IS now here making all necessary arrangements. Steady improvement is the order of the day in the mining world of Tombstone Many properties hitherto neglected arc developing into valuable mines, while the leading claims on Contention hill are showing splendidly, and turning out their usual quantity of ore. The mills all along the San Pedro keep up their unceasing rattle day and night, and the bullion yield for June will be up to the usual standard. Below we give the very latest from the leading mines throughout the district: TOMBSTONE NJ. AND M. Co.-An extensive strike of high grade ore was made within the past week in both the east and west ends of the Goodenough. The ore is of a very fine quality and promises to de- velop into an extensive ore body For some time back Professor Church had been driving for it, and feels somewhat complacent to have his ideas SO thor oughly borne out. The West Side IS also looking very well and turning out some nice ore. One of the ore blns has been removed to this mine during the week. -GRAND CENTRAL.-The south drift in the 400 level shows a big improve ment, carrying vastly more gold than heretofore. On the 500 and 600 levels the drifts remain about the same. The crosscut on the 600 is now in about 210 feet, and is progressing more rapidly than formerly, the ground not being so hard. The stopes all through the mine are look ing we'll and producing the usual amount of ore. -INGERsOLL.-Things are run ming along about the same at this mine. The new ore body discovered few weeks ago is expanding as the work of explora- tion continues. A crosscut has been started south from the 120. The upraise winze from the 80-foot level is about half way up, and cut several strata of very fair ore.-THE OLD GUARD.-The pro- prietors of this promising mine com m enced to ship ore to the Boston mill yesterday. Two wagon trans are en- gagged in hauling. In the mine, the south drift in the 230 level is being vigorously driven, also the north drift on the 80-foot. level. A drift has been started from the winze connecting the 30 and 230 levels. Some fine ere is being taken out of the mine, and it Is now opened up so that large quantities of ore can be extracted.
 -The Good Samaritan drifts have been started north and south from the 800 level, ill good ore, and are now in about 26 feet. The winze between the 200 and 250 levels will be finished in few days. Sinking on the main shaft will be com- menced again to-day As soon as con nection IS made by the winze above re- ferred to a crosscut will be started south from the 150. The mine is in an excel lent condition, and getting to look better daily -THE SToNEwALL.-In conse- quence of the ore teams being at work hauling Old Guard ore, the night shift at this place has been knocked off for four days The work mentioned in our last is being continued and everything looks encouraging. .-THE EAGLE.-Work is continued here on the main incline, fol- lowing the ledge. The management are preparing for active developments and the mine is looking good. At 105 feet the first station will be cut out and drifts started both ways.-THE CONTENTION Superintendent White having but recently arrived in town after protracted absence was not prepared to give much infornla- tiOn concerning the mine until next week. Everything; however, is running along all right, and the work heretofore re- ported are continued -THE RANDOLPH No new developments in the crosscut The crosscut from the main level at shaft No. 1 struck fine vein of very high grade ore nineteen feet from the level
 Winze No. has been started on the vein and is now down eight feet in fine body of ore Winze No. 2 from the first level is down GO feet on the vein. At this point the foot wall turned perpendicular, and they are now driving for the hanging wall, and have cut twelve feet in ore. The ore extracted at this point has assayed from S200 to S1, 200 and gives strong indica- tions of staying qualities. Mir. J. Brews- | ter, of Bloomington, Illinois, the secre- tary of the company, is now in town negotiating and making arrangements for the erection of mill ll.-Epitaph.
 Our predictions of last week in regard to the capabilities of the old Globe mine and smelter are being satisfactorily real ized. Although the furnace was not as tractable for the first few days as it should have been, it now shows sense of doing it's duty to the entire satisfaction of every person concerned. During the preceding | twenty four hours 10, 900 pounds of ingot copper was produced, and to-day LOGO pounds of copper pigs will leave the fur mace for the East. At the rate the fur mace is now producing we may look for about 570,000 pounds of copper per month -C. P. Putnam and brother will shortly commence work on the Little Putnam, promising silver prospect ad- i jacent to the Little Giant.-Jt is re- ported that the Bolinger property is now in the hands of Judge Silent, who has assumed all liabilities. Work on the Monarch at the depth of 85 feet was sus- pended on account of the high tempera- ture in the shaft, there being no ventila- ton. Copper ore from the surface to the bottom of the shaft-The Coyote, a copper property on the Gila. six miles from Riverside. has been bonded to par ties who are bound to sink 100-foot shaft. Tho work is progressing, and at fourteen feet tic shaft is entirely in ore.
 The Pennsylvania, at Riverside, has been sold by Haskin and Bibb to Eastern parties, and will be worked by the syndi- cate purchasing it.-iSilrer Belt.
 Work at Copper Mountain is progress
 ing finely. and the fine large body of car bonate ore that is daily placed on the dump is'a sure cure for sore eyes. As work progresses they are constantly strik- ing the old shafts, drifts and inclines left
