BRADSHAW. For the first time for many months, there are four men working on this property, and as it is noticed that the shares of this company have augmented considerably in value, we may infer that before long this property will employ many hands and yet pay Its owners regular and respectable dividend.
 OLD GUARD.
 From indications met with on the 15O- foot level, raise was commenced few days ago, and within some five feet body of good ore was struck, which at present is ? feet in width. This raise is being proceeded with and our next report may be looked for to give it's further dcvelop- ment.
 MAMIE.
 Three men are working, gouging out ore from the rich streaks with which this mine is permeated. The shaft is being timbered and put in readiness to receive whim, so we may hope to have 10 chronicle some good news before long. This mine has lately been leased, hence the present ac- tivity.
 CoPPERoPoLIs (BIsBEE).
 The southeasterly drift from tho shaft, 70 foot level, is still being continued. This mine is being worked for all it IS worth, and before long, with its present active management, we hope 10 chronicle that Fortunes smile has not been apportioned in vain.
 SAN pEDRO
 The west drift on the 200 foot level is in 165 feet, some of the ore extracted assay ing well in silver. The ledge struck on the 100 foot level at 81 feet southwest from the shaft, continues to improve in grade. Drifting on ledge still goes on.
 WEDGE CONSOLIDATED.
 They are working a few men, taking out ore. Their ore shoot is a great convenience, and does away with the necessity of sledg. | ing 1t down very steep hill on to the road leading from the Lucky Cuss mlne to the | main Charleston road RANDOLPH. The commencement of the year will we hear, bring about greater amount ol activity than ever before. The mine is g good one, and with economy and careful management, "there is millions in it." | SULTANA.
 Since our last, satisfactory progress has been made with the 50-foot contract shaft One half of the work has been completed When crosscutting is commenced we ma, expect to have good news to report. | BLUE JACKET.

NussellyiIie.

The Peabody and adjacent mines are still shut down. The shor,-sighted policy of the directors of valuable mine Is, as we have already noticed in our columns, inexplicable. We hear from Mir. Wall, superintendent of the company, that there is no likelihood of operations being re- stunned before the new year, and if then, only problematical. This property should be owned by men of very different stamp than the present owners and directors, at least for the benefit of the district.

RICHMOND, Dec. 15.--Robert Ould, assistant secretary of war under the Confederate government, is dead.

visit, there was feet ot high grade ore in the lace of the drift. The drift south on the ledge from the 600 level is very promis- ing. ThesOre body referred to on the 200 Will be tapped by u crosscut from the 100 foot level, with some 190 feet yet to reach it. Also from the 400 which will require about 290 feet of dritting. Connection has been completed wi ith ths Flora Morri. son preparatory to placing pumps in the shaft of the latter. Ship from 80 to SO tons of ore daily. Machinery at mill and mine in good running order.
 EMPIRE.
 The mine is looking well for the amount of work being performed. Crosscutts are being run on the 300 and 400 levels, both being in about the same distance, some 30 feet. The drift running west on the 200 level is in some 50 feet. It will be re. marked by those visiting the mine that the general formation on the 400 level very | closely resembles that of the Tombstone mine, the shale holding considerable pyri- | ties of iron. The face of the 200 level shows some water, but not in sufficient | quantities 10 interfere with operations. | What Eows run into the old winze from the 430 levi, where water was first struck in be min.

 TOMBSTONE NJ. & M. co.
 The different mines of this corporation are looking well and yielding the usual amount of ore. At the Goodenough and Combination there is not much to report. One load of ore is daily shipped from the former, coming from crosscut from the main incline near the 90 foot level. The chloriding in the latter Is rewarded by oc. casional rich bodies of ore. The West Side is now the flower of the flock, the vein having all the characteristics of a true Assure, and yielding large quantities of good milling ore. The East Side is also showing up well. The Lucky Cuss is being worked in some six ditfcren, places and is making much better show ing than was deemed possible six months ago.

 The bullion output for the month has been seven bars, valued at $15,246S7, with a small force at work. Considerable high grade orc is being obtained by asserting the old dumps.

 A young society man, Bussett Gilman by name, is under the mistaken impression that he is an actor, and he has been recit ing Shakespeare to few chosen friends with view of perfecting himself for the stage. Wishing to obtain the candid opin- ion of perfectly unprejudiced person, he recited, with wonderful facial contortions that speech in which Macduff is advised to keep on laying, to Gilhooly. After he had got through raving, he asked Gilhooly if he did not think he was almost fit for the stage.
 Gilhooly thought over the matter, and finally said:
 Yes, l think you might do to drive a stage, but you will never do for barber. You cut too many faces"
 A New York paper is in favor of giving every Indian "a chunk of land" We think that this must be typographical error. It should have read that the editor was in favor of giving every Indian "a chunk of lead.' The compositor forgot to lead the article properly. Giving each Indian chunk of lead would be the sav- ing Of great amount of gold to the American people. Onjthe other hand, it would perhaps be little severe on the Indian agents, army contractors, and the lneian ring at Washington eity-A cold winter is approaching, and t seems cruel to cut down member of e Indian ring to one diamond breastpY, but we are, nevertheless, in favor of each and every Indian having liberal chunk of lead. As the Indian has no vote, we think we reflect the sentiment of the wealth and inteli- gence of the people on this question.
