WEEKLY MINING REVIEW
PIMA COUNTY.

TINA AtANlh.
 '- Good accounts continue to reach ur 8 from the Quijotoa mines. Judge Still well and Rice, aud Goo3ale ol the Bos l ton Mill and Mining Company of Char a leston, visited Pima county's new l bonGnzas last week. We dld not meet ? Messrs. Rice and Goodalc, but the - Judge informs us that thy were very , favorably impressed with the regularity of the lode and quality of the ore
 Judge Stillwell informed the writer that it was one of the finest prospects he has seen and he Is of the impression that ere long it will become one of the
 noted mining camps of Arizona. While
 he had not examined the mines suf
 ficieutly close to give tue width of the
 veins, or the amount of ore in sight,
 yet he saw enough to sHtisfy himself
 that there were great many tons of ore
 In easy reach on the surface Ou the top
 of the ledge as well as ou the side which
 forms the face of the elf, where tLe country rock has separated and fallen from 1T, leaving the ore on the outer wall in some places from 70 to 100 feet in night Notches, which somewhat re-
 semble the windows to our "dOby" houses have been cut into the vein,
 tapping ore which assays from hun | dreds up into thousands of dollars per | ton. He took some samples which he | had Essayed, that went from a thousand | dollars up to much larger figures. and | broke ore from the cropplngs which the | owners looked upon as comparatively low grade that assaycd SlGO to t-e Q. | The Judge said that he found tut one fault with what he saw, and that was that ne had no interest III the mines.
 From the description which Judge Stillwell and others who have visited
 the mines have given us,
 the showing, for the small amount of de
 velopment, Is perhaps the best that has
 ever been made in Arizona. About ten
 tons of ore from these mines has arrived
 in Tucson within the past three days,
 which w. c. Davis informs us will assay
 over S350 per ton. Other ore wagons
 are out, and ore teams will continue tO arrive in this place every few days from
 this tune on. Owing to the sea city of
 water near the mines, active work has
 not yet begun. When sufficient water shall have been found, of which the own CTS have nu doubt will be soon, they will proceed to develop the mines in good shape and in measure determine their value. But there seems to be enough ore on the surface and hnngiuE to the precIpice Co keep a large number of men l employed in removing for some lime tc ]. come. We shall not venture to repeat l the st9rles told by some of the euthusi ] astic parties who have been out to the | new mines, but from all we can learn, | Pima county stands good chance of be- | coming one of the leading bullion pro- | ducers of Arizona in the coming year.
 CACHIsE COUNTY.
 The Empire-Work has been resumed | on the Empire under the directions of | Maj. J. II. Collins, who IS a thorough | and competent miner, and has had large experience in mining n Nevada. Cali fornia and Colorado, and under hl~ di- rection the mine wIll be thoroughly aud developed. Valuable ore bodies have been found east, west, north and south of this miue, and it will be ont of the course of nature If something valu- able is not found in it. The work here tofore done in this mine has been sink ing and lateral drifting only; there has been but little cruss-cuttiug done There is new board of officers, all of whom are large stockholders, and there will be nothing wanting to push the de- of this mine to demonstrate that there are large ore bodies within her grounds, both above and below the water level.
 Dean Richmond.-Thism mine, which is better known as the "Old Bronkow," has a shaft down 7j feet, and three shafts Co a depth of l5 feet, one upper cut about 20 feet in length. At the shaft about 90 tons of high grade lead ore has been taken out, good part of which IS yet on the dump, only small quantity being shipped co the Charles ton furnace. Smaller quantities of ore have been taken from the other work ings, and very promising body of ore is exposed. Work will be resumed in a few days, the owner, Mr. Hines, being about 10 conclude contract with the WoronOco Smelling Co., which he will furnish with ore.
 Girard.-The main shaft is down to a depth of 450 feet. At present the 200 and 300 foot levels are being prOspected. Al the 200 foot level four foot body of fine chloride ore Is encountered, and a large body Of fine grade ore Is being hoIste6 to the surface. From series of assays made during the pat week II ap- pears that the averages were S2}O 70 III silver. At the 30J-toot level the ores 1 are ulphurets. but equal iu richness tp those in the upper level. W Fee, the Is pushing work ahead and there Is 20 do1bt the mine will soon be in a splendid cOndi- ton again.
 Mamie-A shaft is down Co depth of 250 fe, |, but until lately not much work has been done. 4 fsw days ago a lease was given on the property, and work on the 35-ioot level has been commenced. The ore produced IS very much m char acter the same as that extracted when first worked, and the ore body has all the appearance Ot producing c large quantity of high grade ore.
 Mammoth on the wInze has been continued: no work in the stopes or drifts is being done. The ore output during this week has been as usual, 10 tons per day.
 T. M. js M. Co.-Work on the three shafts on the West side is continued. A pew strike on the jJDfoot level k re- ported; work on the stopes goes on as usual.
 The above summary in relation to Co., chise county mines was taken from the Epitaph.
 Prompter-From the Benson Herald we learn that the outlook for this mjue is good. The ore III shaft No. , con tinues to increase in quality and quan- tity. A new shaft Is being sunk and is down 30 feet in high grade ore. Shaft No. , is down 3lO feet and development is actively pushed.
 Notes-Rapid progress is being made in plaoirC the pump- in the Contention mIne, and the tanks and boilers have been put down.
 A rich strike IS reported in the lower levels of the Grand Central
 The Viestiuk, an Odessa journal that is occasionally inspired by the Russian foreign office, prints in q conspicuous position and in bold type a paragraph iu with which the NOrddeutsche Allegemeine Zeitung's recent lectures to France are mild and even amiahle. "Only let Germany begin q war with Russia" says the writer; i've wish Io- thing better. Russians can not have the least fear of the results of such a struG gle: for they would follow the example of the Turks at PlevnB, and act strictly upon the defensive, leaving the real
