WEEKLY MINING REVIEW.
CACHIsE COUNTY.

r We take the following summary O $ mining news in Caehise County, iron r the Republican;
 | Contention-During the month 0 e July 2.0I5lf tons of ore was reduce. k from this mine, which produced p bar a Of bullion, valced at S12, l39 33. l. { August 4lIIS tons were worked at th. | mill, producing bars of bullion, value, 1 | at SI2, ,7303I During this month thi 9 mill. owing to the breaking of the plllal
 block cf the engine, was shut down tol 3 Q period Of 25 days and l6 hours 9 Everything, however, IS now runnin- } smoothly. Whilst at work on the 4OU } foot level the last few days a new ort 2 body was encountered, the extent oi which has not So far been ascertained 7 This body lies east of the regular Con- , tention ledge. The ore carries a quant- , | ity of iron pyutes and black sulphurets,
 and samples have been assayed going
 Sl00 per ton, the percentage of gold be- ing good. The work on the foundation
 of the pump machinery proceeds as
 rapidly as the most sanguIne can expect, and what IS accomplished IS done for
 all time. Tie bis pit where the machln-
 cry wll! find a lasting resting place ls
 bUiGg rapidly filled up, but MT. Johnson
 informs us 1t wlll yet be q month before
 the mas0ns get through their work aud
 make place for the mechanics.
 Grand Central-rle 3j-stamp nil.
 connected with this mine was started up
 ID Marcl, 1881, and since then shows 1 record of balioa produced amounting
 to ;s2, Sg3. 7l265. Last week they had l probably the largest clean up of the
 season. 1t amounted to S3GOOO This is proof positive that business neither lags
 nor Is falling off In this valuable prop
 erty. We hear that in the drifts which | are being run south of the new hoistiug l works some new developments have been made on the 300, 400 and 60O-foOt
 levels, the latter being particularly Ilch
 and giving every confidence to the | management that below water level II
 will develop into lasting bonanza.
 Sidney The main shaft now
 measures 74ls feet to the bottom. No
 work is going on in the discovery shaft
 m inc gulch, whi'h is down l5l feet. lt is surmised thst the Grand Central ! ledge runs in a southwesterly direction
 through this property, and that about | the center of the clam will run into the | Alps mine. Workmen employed m the ! bottom of the shaft continuously hear | miners drilling and blasting in their near neighborhood.
 co. D-Considsrable work has been | done on this mIne which results very 1 favorably, alike to tbe owners as well as
 to those who have bonded the property. The main shaft k now down l12 feet, 1 and sinking proceeds daily. At the TO- | foot level in this shaft q fine body of ore was met with which measured eight feet | wide. At the bottom crOss-cut Is now oeiug run. On the surface the ore was commiugled with hard, hinty quartz, but now this has given out and the ledge matter IS soft and easily worked. Nu. shaft is 5O feet deep, and two men are working there.
 Ingers0l-Work has been continued on this mine. For some time back it hEs been the opinion of the foreman tLJt there was ledge within this ground taa- be ought to find, and yesterday his eXc-tions were rewarded by striking the same. Al the hour ot going to press Judge Dibble Is unable to give many particulars as to thls strike, but the ledge Is certainly mIneralized, whilst l further developments IT the near future ! may prove IL to be an important affair 1
 Contact.-The shaft commenced some time back very near the line of the Knox l vile, has now attained depth of 167 l feel. all of which may be described as l being in ore, the character Of which is | similar to Stonewall rock, being ma-i- | nese mixed with an abundance of chlo- l rides. About 20 tons was shipped to | Benson this week, returns for which | have not yet been received.
 |. is down 23J feet, the last 10 feet in | water. The richness of ore here found | IS proverOial, in proof of which one in- | stance may be gwen, VIZ: in one month l 5j .,us of ore were milled at the Boston | mil, producing Si,0lO II bullion.
 Three Brothers.-Ihe property of a l San Franclsco company, for which \. J. l Benjamin, of the the Anglo California ! bank, is agent. It Is now being worked | by three cbiOuders. The formation l here found is mystery to many, the l surface being covered by a 'stOckwork ! or network Of veins.
 Prnmutsr-The east drift going 1 ah al on the re body has made IS feel l this week, showing as well as the winze l ln m.h grade ore. Work Is now being 1 pushed ahead day and night. The qual l ity of the ore now coming out, as shown ! by the assays, is more even than at any time since the commencement of work 1 upon this property.
 Ruby Sinking in the main shalt No. has been resumed. Also driving ahead ! th- north drift on the 100 foot level. l Quality oi the ore about the same. The | shaft is now F feet deep, and will be continued to the 20lfoot level before drifting north and south.
 Goldou Rule--A gold property, tu- aied eight miles east of Summit Statlon, is @ busy camp just now, and are doing well. They have two shafts which are down some depth, and two horse whims are in position. The ledge runs north east a- q southwest and dips east. Al tine surface it measures s to 10 inches, but increases as depth Is attained. The mill is six miles from the mine, and We hope soon to record that it has started up and is turning out bullIou.
 MARIcoPA CEUNTY.
 New Discovery.-T Gazette says "lIayor c. II. Vail, is the lucky owner of new discovery near WickenbUrg this county. The ledge is large and well defined and can be traced for 1000 feet on the surface. It Is q smelling ore carrying large percentage of lead. There is an abundance of wood and water in close proximity to the mine which k not over two mile' from the Hlsseympa alld the Wickenburg road. He will send a car load 10 Benson and have a working test. IT the mine de yel1ps as 1t now promises 1t will be a bonanza alike to Major VeIl and Mari copG county. The crOppincs assay
