 Should thc work that is now being | done by the Commonwealth and tinciu- natl and Piitsburg companies be contin- ned for another year, Dos Cabezas will rank with the most prosperous camps in Arizona.
 One of the drawbacks in Dos Cabezas Is scarcity of wood and no teams tO haul 1t from the Chiricahuas. All wood brought in sells rapidly for So per cord, and 1t IS impossible to get enough for the mills at that price.

 The Cincinnati and Pitisburg com rauy's mil a. Dos CIbeZas is rUnnin- on Eirst Chance ore, and all connected with the company seem Co be perfectly satisfied with the result. The manager SAYS the company intend to up a 4O- stamp mill close to the mine. and save the expense Of hauling ore. The mill is kept running on ore taken from a shaft that Is being sunk on the Firs' Chance. The ledge is about seven and one-haif feet wide and shows free gold ID all ore taken from the shaft. The quality Of the ore is much better in the lowest working than # was on or near the surface.
 X. J. Porterie, the Pnenix assayer ar- rived from q trip to the Eagle TaIl dis trict, abOut one hundred miles in a west erly direction from this city. He reports that the mnes in that district are look ing well and indicate richness, aud tha' considerable work is being done on them. The mines are principally cop per, and he thinks they will develop into very large deposits as depth is attained. He informs Us that ranches are being taken up. and ditches dug, all the way down the Gila to near the old Burke station. The roads are in a fearful con diton owing tO the overflow Of the ditches, and states further that unles- they are fixed, a considerable trade will be lost to this city and valley.

Will have to run k feet more to reach the foot wall, which will make the ledge 8 feet wIde. Sink ing is suspended and work sopped for the present NIT. Pearlman, the super intendent, is now in San Francisco and will shipa steam engine and pumps, and sinking will be resumed below water level as soon as the machinery Is erect ed. Two men are at the mine prospect ing and building a house. The discov- cry shaft is down 70 feet, all in ledge matter.
