 as to the value of the mine were made in good faith and not for the purpose of
 inducing people to buy stock.
 | The mines In Arlvaca and Gro Blanco districts are improving, and those who
 have cast their lots there and invested
 their money as we'll as much valuable time stlll hold to the belief that those camps will come out.
 The Omega mine, which was shut down a few weeks ago, will likely start up agaln soon, as the mine has been placed in good shape. so that hereafter a l sufficient amount of ore can be taken out to keep the smelters running | Water is now scarce, but the rainy season having already begun, the tanks will soon be filed This IS another property that has been badly managed. ! We have heard that the superintendent l of the cOmpany's works k a mere boy, who was sent out here from the east, that he had never been about a mining camp before; in fact knew nothing about | mines or the business which he was ex- pected to superintend. Of course the ! young man should not be blamed, but thsse who pu' him in charge Of the con- pany's business are certainly deserving ! of censure.
 From the Total Wreck mine We have good reports. IL Is said that the shaft opened on the north side of the mine shows large deposit of rich chlO- | ride Ore Tine new shaft to Intersect the main lode Is now down l2O feet. equal ! to about 400 feet on the incline, and m ore all the way. The mine has yielded about S60,000 worth of bullion since 1t started up on the 10th of June.
 CACHIsE COTNTY.
 The Republican thinks Tombstone district one of the most prolific. in sur prises and contradictions of apparent facts. Every forthnight fresh develope- ments are recorded, of locations hitherto unheard of or the discovery of some new ore body. Who can explain 1t other wise than by saying that the whole coun- try Is mineratlZed, and that as depth Is attained the sight of ore IS sure to glad den tue heart of the persevering miner.
 The work of extending the Contention shaft for the reception of the pumping machinery has been proceeded with. The station 90 feet from bottom of shaft has been completed, and raising cOntin- ues. This station has entailed a large ]
 
 heaps of waste and dirt. They have | therefore started enlarging the shaft | from the surface, and in this work they l have got down r. feet. The foundations for the pumping engine are well under 1 way. Mir. James informs us that owing ] to the continuous -and extra work en- tailed on the holsting ang-le but little ! new prospecting or degelopement work | can be carried on, although no diminui- ! ton in the amount of ore raised and | shipped to the mill has yet occurred.
 For some time past no new develOpe- | ments have been made Tn the Grand | Central mine, and the old story of the | regularity Tn the quantity of ore raised | and shipped tO the mill has been repeat l ed. We may, however, confidently look | for a change before long, as Mir. Leach | informs us the sOutherly drifts on the | first, second, third and fourth levels are Il gong ahead, the two latter giving spe- cial signs of rewarding the management | for the money expended, in the shape of | a continuation of their main ledge, in | which, however, several slips or slides | have to be noted. This company, join | ing hands with the Contention folks, are | ready to start simultaneously with their I neighbOrs as soon as they are ready tO l test and.sOlve the question of pumping | their mine dry, and enabling work to he l carried on under what now seems tO be | the water level. Work continues on the Head Center | both in the main and new shafts. It is rumOred that the control of the majority of the company's stock has recently changed hands. The fact, however, of l its management being secured by the | Contention We did not get confirmed at headquarters to-day. "It might be, but ! we don't know it.
 At the Bunkerhill, the shaft in Nam | moth Is down 2OO feet, and yesterday l they had ID their sOutherly drift (which l runs towards the Rattlesnake shaft l crOsscu. showing r. feet of ore that is l rich ln silver, but containing a good l deal of lead No sides or walls SO far, l SO its extent can only be at the present l time guess work.
 The tunnel of the Big Pedro Is now in 1 395 feet. On the top of the hin a shaft | has been sunk 26 feet, which shows a l well defined body of magnese and l chloride ore. This shaft IS 415 feet from | the mouth of the tunnel; SO, until this l distance, at least, IS reached they don't l expect to strike the main ledge, although | in the course of the work of running | their tunnel they have cut through sey- eral stringers of ore, all dipping toward l the direction in which the owners look for the main ledge. Work continues on the Lima COnsOl- l dated. The tunnel, which IS now in 90 | feet, the main ledge was struck at 65 l feet, where 1t showed some fine chloride | ore and a fair grade of magnese. From | thence on, the ledge holds out strong 1 and strangers and pockets of chloride ] ore are continually met with, which Is l extracted and sacked for the mill. From shaft No. , on the Ruby, some l exceptionally fine specimens of carbon l ate ore have been taken. In drifting l north and south on the vein an immense | quantity of high grade ore has been en- 1 countered. The Eucalyptus which be- l longs to the same company shows a vein carrying high grade chloride and l black sulphurets of silver eleven feet | wide.
 In the Alps, as reported last night, l 2i5 foot ledge of good ore, assaying $50, has been struck at depth of 124 l feet Eight men continue chloriding on the l Randolph with fair success. Work has l been recommended on the Sea Surge. l Work has been temporarily suspended | on the Emerald, owing to a change of ownership.
 At Denton, Ramsey's canyon, six foot ledge of copper ore carrying silver | has lately been struck.
 We are indebted to the EDitaph for the following information ID relation to | the Golden Rule mine. situated two | miles north of the railroad Tn the l DragOOn mountains The development | consists of two shaft, each l25 feet deep, and one 75 feet The former are about | 600 feet apart, and have levels run on | the ledge l0O feet in each direction, | making four hundred feet of levels ID l all The ledge runs east and west, dip | ping north 45 degrees It has an aver age width of thirty inches, assaying $40 in gold. The property IS owned by the Golden Rule Mining company. Silver City (N. M.) incorporation, of which MT. Crawford, the well known banker. E president. The machinery for & first class 2O-stsmp mill is all On the ground, about six miles from the mine, and will oe in operation within the next thirty days.
