The Tombstone epitaph., 1882-06-10
WEEKLY MINING REVIEW.

 during the past week. Everything runs along Tn the usual course. The mines are producing ore, and the mills turning out bullion. From all quarters we hear of nothing but prosperity, and the managers of the mines are enthusiastic in their belief that Tombstone has yet to see it's days of most prosperity. The bullion producing mines are increasing their yield, and the number of new mines being opened up and developed is considerably augmented since our last The Randolph is gradually but surely exhibiting Its grand propor- tions. The more this grand mineral de- posit is developed the greater seems to be it's capacities. and from present appear ances we should not be surprised to see it take it's place in the front rank of the bull lion producers of Tombstone at no distant day. The Ingersoll is also making de- cided mark in the mining world. Large bodies of high grade ore have been dis covered recently, and the more the work of development is prosecuted the greater seems to be its wealth. The bulhon yield of the Grand Central last month was the largest ever turned out by that mine. The same quantity of ore was worked to reach this result as heretofore; so it can easily be seen that the quality of the ore is increasing. There is general boom among the smaller and less developed mines, and 1t is fair 10 assume that ere long there will be more mines worked Tn this district than in any other in the Unit ed States.
 BOB INGERsOLL.
 Good progress is being made in the up- raise from the S0.foot level. A fine body of extremely high grade ore, giving an average assay of $35O, was discovered a few days ago. This new ore body promises to expand us the work of development pro- gresses. The usual drift and crosscut work is being vigorously prosecuted, From twenty-four to forty tons of ore is being hoisted weekly. There is no stopeing done, and only ore necessary for develop ment purposes is being taken out.
 RANDOLPH.
 Superintendent Fuller, of the Randolph, was in high glee when the EPITAPH man visited the mine yesterday. This was not caused SO much from any surprise as from the fact that events have borne out his sur mises. The southwest drift from shalt No. IS now in 150 feet, all in ore. The winze on the same level, 30 feet from shaft, is down 30 feet in solid body of high grade ore. This winZe followed the fOot-wall, and crosscut has been run for the hang. ing wall, and is now in fifteen feet without an indication of wall. Winze No. 3, 135 feet from the shaft, also kept the foot wall, and is now down 45 feet, following the vein at an angle of 45 degrees. This winze is five by seven feet, all in ore. Crosscut No. at winze is in 26 feet in ore. Cross cut No. 9, 135 feet from the main shaft, is in about 50 feet. This crOsscut is intended to connect with the crosscut from shaft No. 2. Shalt No. 9 is down 80 feet and crosscut is being run west to connect with the first level from shaft No. 1. This cross cut is in about Sh feet. At 27 feet from the shalt a seven.foot vein of good ore was cut through, and is now being drifted on. Tins drift was only recently started and is now in 25 feet. About seven tons daily are being extracted. No stopeing is being done, and only such ore extracted as cannot be avoided. Two whims are used at the mine and PA miners employed. GOOD SAMARITAN (BUNKER HILL) NJ. co.
 The upraise winze from 250 foot le1cl is in about % feet The mlne is looking fine. A rich body of ore was tapped few days ago that promises to become bonan- ga. Sinking is continued on the main shaft, and the drifts are being driven as fast as possible. A drift will be started north from the bottom of the shaft in a few days.
 ERANKIJN
 The main shaft on this mine is. now down 100 feet, and a crOsscut is being run west and is now in about twelve feet. The vein has not yet been cut. Work will be continued right along. Six men are em- ployed.
 GRAND CENTRAL.
 The drift on the 600 foot level is now in about 160 feet. The ground IS working The 400, 800, and 600 lev, Is are looking about the same as last week. The stopes are producing the usual amount of ore The bullion yield of last month was one of the largest ever made in Tombstone amounting to $150,s3742. The mine is in excellent condition.
 GERARD AND TRANQUILITY.
 The Girard mine has been shut down for some time, and the mill is working or second class Contention ore. The Sulphu ret is being pumped as usual, and some drifts are being driven in the Tranquility Pending an appeal to the Supreme Court work cannot be prosecuted on the HeaC Centre side of the line. The Head Centre folks have given notice of an appeal iron the decision of Judge Stilwell They must first file bond O $5O,OO0, with local security, which has no yet been done. The dispute is novel on, and is attracting much attention iron mining lawyers and mine owners.
 Throughout the Head Centre and Con been thoroughly explored. Its genera course has been made apparent by thes explorations. Two faults of the vein ar found within the Contention claim a points and can be seen upon the surface The course of the veln is nearly north an, south, and at depth it dips toward tn west. Where the vein crosses the Tran quiIity line, it continues, as far as seen o its general course, maintained throughou the Head Centre and Contention claim, In the suit between the Tranquility an Head Centre companies, which was decIC ed by Judge Stillwell, it was contended b the Head Centre company that it he d tn right to mine the vein on its dip from a points where its top or apex was with the Head Centre ground, thus claimin the right to mine the vein across and witt in the side line of the Tranquility. o the other hand, 1t was cOntended by th Tranquility company that, as the lede crossed their side lines, the same becan
