The Tombstone epitaph., 1882-01-09


 it is one of the best indications we have seen in long time for leading to bo- nanza. This quartz vein, which is from foot to 1S inches in width, lies in the center of the ledge and is encased in good quality of decomposed carbonate ore, that gives average assays of $50 and upwards. The uprise also shows good ore. The west cross-cut is being run to prospect the ground in that direction and to more ully determine lithologiccal structure of the country and thus decide future workings of the mine. There IS, we should judge, hundred tons or more of milling ore on the dump, besides quite a quantity of rich smelling galena that is kept by itse... The outlook tor the Woronoco we consider very flattering at this time, and should the developments in the south drift continue to improve as rapidly for the next month as they have for the last, the mine will be placed on d paying basis. The management at the mine IS good, every step being planned with view of those that are to follow We consider the developments in this mine of very great importance, enlarging as they do our mineral belt in an easterly direction, at least mile beyond the here. tofore conceded limits, and giving hopes for still further extension in that di- rectien.
 Tombstone M. & M. %.
 Notwithstanding the bear movement in Philadelphia and their irresponsible coadjutors in Tombstone. the mines of this company continue daily surprise to those best acquainted with them. The Combination mine, that has yielded up- wards of 1000 tens of ore in the last nine months, makes as fine showing as here tofore, and where the ore body will stop no one can predict. So it is in the Tough Nut and Goodenough mines. The West Side, although comparatively small vein, averaging 2a to 3 feet in width, has such regularity and uniformly rich ore, and the development is being made so sys- tematically, that by the tune it becomes necessary to draw largely from it, it will be in condition to keep both mills run- ming at their full capacity. The ma mage ment of these valuable mines could hardly have fallen into better hands than those who have so successfully controlled them for the last nine months. From our knowledge of tue properties and manage ment we feel assured that the stock holders have long lease of their monthly dividends of $50,O0O, whatever ill-natured people may say to the contrary notwith- standing.
 Contention.
 Everything working smooth around the mlne. Wher our reporter was there yes terday, he found Mir. Corbett, the foreman, pushing matters at the old works on the hill in order to get that end Of the mine cleared out so that he can shut them down this morning. They will be retained in their present position and state of efficiency so that should an emergency arise they can be started up at an hours warning. The north drift, on the 400foot level, has been thoroughly timbered, and work drift ing north has been again resumed This drift is all in rich ore. The stopes are all looking we'll and yielding their usual amount of high grade ore. The Flora Morrison shaft is down 500 feet, the bot tom is splendid ground. The new works will be started up again this morning, and the usual development work pushed ahead with vigor.
 Girard.
 Owing to the sickness of Mir. Lind, one of the contractors, there has been some de- lay about the mill, and it will not be start. ed up as soon as was anticipated month ago. The cages have been put in motion in the shaft and drift is being run west to connect with the Goodenough workings to aid in ventilatlng the mine. The mine is in such shape that sufficient ore can be extracted to keep the mill running when started up Mir. J. R. Farrell has been appointed superintendent of the Girard, and is exerting himself to make it a sue cess from the word go, of which there can be no doubt, as they have all the requis- ites--a good mine and good mill, We shall expect to see this stock rapidly ap- preciate on the Philadelphia board as soon as they begin to ship bullion.

 They raising 20 tons of ore per day. The stopes are all looking well. The cast incline drift is in ore. Have commenced to prospect the Yreka. Shaft 4x6 down 20 feet. This is considered good pros pect, and we trust it will develop into a rich mine. Last month they sent 627A tons of ore to the Boston mill, of which amount 452A tons was worked, leaving a surplus of 175 to begin the new year upon. The bullion output was $41, ,61S35. This was at the rate ot $91.S7 per ton, which shows that the ore holds up to it's former high grad1. The stock closed strong in New York, on Dec. 3lst at $2S5, and the Stockholder says there were en ,ugh buyers, but no sellers at these figures.
