is looking well. On the 200 level they are crosscutting for the ore body on the 150. On the 329 they are preparing to stope. The water supply for the mill does not lower the water in the Sulphuret shaft in the least. The new tanks of 90 900 gallons each, in the rear of the ai.l, will soon be ready for the water.

The 250 level in Gooderough is now well opened and looks emHkably well, as does also the same level ia Tough Nut The 16O foot level in Tough Nut is also looking and yielding we'll. There is no material change in the northwest workings. The Combination mine maintains it's former prestige both in quantity and quality of ore. The new incline air shaft is now down 30 feet and when connected with the Combination workings will thoroughly ventilate the mine The West Side con- tinues to develop well, and sends its hun. dred tons of ore to the mill every month. The mills are working smoothly and at their full capacity; sending eight loads of ore to them every day.
 old Guard. This mine is developing rapidly and richly, and bids fair tc be equal to any Tn that portion of the district. They con. tinue to drift both north and south on the l50-foot level. The south drift IS in 30 feet, with 2-foot vein of good ore on the hanging wall, with rich punches all through the ledge. The north drift is in 20 feet and also shows we'll Our reporter was shown samples Of ore that came out yesterday that equal my ever seen in the district Ths green horn silver was con. spicuous all through it, and it is safe to say that it would assay way up into the thousands

 Everything around these mines is work. ing along with the usual smoothness, with the daily output of D tons of ore. The development work IS continued in those parts of the mine heretofore noted. They are building q new water-tank near he rear of the old works, of capacity of 23,OO0 gallons. This will be supplied from the Sulphuret shaft. Its altitude is such that it will supply all the works on these mines. It will be of Chiricahua pine, lined with iron to prevent leakage

 The drift running northward from the Sumner drift continues to show large body of ore. The drift on the 400 level is now in 40 feet in length and entirely in porphyry and quartzite The stopes in all parts are yielding their usual amount of ore which goes forward to the mill. The Yreka shaft is down 60 feet. A dividend of $20,O0O has been declared in New York, payable on tue 1st proXimo, which makes the total dividends to date $l2O,OO0.

 The drift from the upraise on the 130 level shows little change from last week. The cross-cut on 266 level crt stringer. of ledge matter during the week and is now in quartzile. In the south drift 266 level, the porphyry that was crowding into the drift last week is narrowing and the car bonate still holds on the foot wall. In the north drift 266 level thc ledge is widening.

 The work of development still goes on and the ore accumulates upon the already huge dump. It is expected that orel auling to the Boston mill will begin about the Al
 first of March, when large returns may be expected. Ingersoll and Old Guard will make the southwest portion of our district as famous as the bonanzas of the center and eastern borders have already done.

 The usual work is being done and the various levels continue to look as favorable as at last report. In cross cutting to the south, 3foot ledge was cut last week that shows gooa quartz, and bids fair to be s valuable discovery. This is on the second level.

 Stlll working on the station at the 600 level, new shaft. The usual development. work is being done on the various levels. but so far with no remarkable develop. ments to record. The stopes continue to. look and yield well, the daily output being, 90 tons, which goes forward to the mill,
 Copper Queen. Bisbee.
 From MT. Ben. Williams, superiu- Iendent of this most productive of all western copper mines, we have learned the following facts in rela. ton to it. The incline is down 29l feet, where they were obliged to suspend work on account of water. They stopped work It Il o'clock, Thursday night of last week, and ou Friday morning, at o'clock, there vas l2 feet of water in the shaft. They will put Tn No 8 Walker pump at aS0 eet. which it is hoped will control the water. The winze from the second level s down S4 feet, all the way in solid, rich 're. They have run drift toward the in. dine II feet all in good ore. The incline las to be sunk 9 feet deeper, and a station ut for the third level, which vii. connec, with the winze, through the drift, thus Training and ventiiating the whole mine. This will make the total length of the in line 300 feet. Work on the winze was topped ten days ago, since when the water as raised in it 30 feet The water was oming into the incline, when work was
