WEEKLY aIyTNG REVIEW.

WEEKLY aINING REVIEW.
 The reports which reach us from g Quijotoa mountains are of an encourage
 nature. While there has not been much development, all seem to be strong ID 3 the belief that the mines will turE out well. It is said that there Is a large amount of high grade ore cropping out : that assays from S1,OOO to S4,OO0 per ton. . Preparations are being made by the owners to remove a quantity of this ore for shipment to Benson or California for reduction. Parties have been in town . during the past week securing tools and supplies to begin operations and we hope to hear something of what there is below the grass roots before long. It , would seem that where there arc such large amounts of high grade ore above ground. there must be something be- low.
 The Total Wreck mill and mine has been shut down by order of the New York stockholders. We are at loss to
 assign reason for tue suspension of
 work Tn this mine, as the superintend-
 ent N R. Vail informs us that there Is
 an abundance of ore Tn reach to keep
 .ke rlin going, anu that regular weekly
 shipments of bullion to the value of from | S1SO0O to S25,0O0, were made up to the
 time of receiving orders to shut down.
 If Mir Vail has stated the facts, the
 action of the company is strange to say
 the least.
 We had hoped to hear of some ar
 engagement being entered into by the
 Omega company which would result in
 starting up that companies shelter at
 an early date, but so far, We have heard
 of nothinn that would warrant the be- lief that such an understanding will be
 reached. It may not be started up be-
 fore the 1st of October when the prop
 erty again comes into the hands of the | original owners.
 Last May vaquero in the employ of | Chico Carrillo, found some rich float in
 a canyon of the Sierritas, about thirty
 seven miles southwesterly from Tucson. | He followed the indications up the | sOuthwesteriy slope of the mountain and | discovered and located e claim. The property subsequently, passed into the | hands of gentlemen III this city who are | now engaged in its development. The | general course of the ledge ls northwest | eriy and sOutheasterly, and can be read | fly traced for three hundred yards. The | cropping, in all Of which metal appears; a 5x7 foot shaft Is now nown seven | teen feet and k said to be all In ore. | A four foot drift towards the hanging wall IS also in ore. The vein IS a con | tact, the country rock on one side being i of lime formation, and the other DOT | phyrltic slate There Is now on the dump over twenty tons of ore, of which | fifteen assays are said to have | averaged Sl35.40 in silver and F. per cent copper per ton. The ore also car
 ries a small percentage of gold.

 The New London at Todd Basin IS down over 100 feet. They are still talk
 ing out high grade ore and pilng it on
 the dump.
 The Cupel Mining Co.,, of Stockton, hEG lAtEAA4k al O sCAA4CAsS tO NG4ANNA -F tons of high grade ore to ChamberlaiD's samplng works at kingman.
 The Rain Bow mine at Todd Basin has four different openings in the mine carryInig gold, silver and galena. There are about seven tons of ore on the dump.
 J. c. Asbury and Tobe Wilkerson ! made trlD to their new discovery on the west side of the Black range, about three miles west of Union Pass station, this week. They clam the ledge shows on top of the ground for distance of 1000 feet. They have had three assays made of the same which gave the follow ing results in round numbers S135, S175 and S4OU.-Alta Arizona.
 Tom Mulligan, Clemente Salszar, John Mulligan and Frank L. Smith, says the MOhave Co. Miner, have com menced sinking a new shaft on the New London mine. They have about two and one-half feet of carbonate ore, ave eraging about S60 in silver, SIP in gold and 60 per cent lead. Work will be re- sumed on the old shaft as soon as a fresh supply of timbers can be obtained.
 GRAHAM COUNTY.
 Messrs. Williamson and Rankin the
 
 the Arizona Copper company mines, | from which we take the following; To our first report we touched lightly upon the ore found in these mines, as the works had not progressed to any ad- vaneed stage. Since then large amount of work has been executed, and the | Queen mines have now developed into d valuable property. The vein to which
 we referred as being irregular has prov ed to be a true Assure vein which has been drifted into by upper and lower l levels, disclosing large quantity of hIgh grade ore. The width of the vein runs from two to three feet, and an out put of over thirty tons per day may now be regularly had for many months at | small cost, even suppOsing nothing more l should be disclosed The ore to all ap- pes rances continues to improve as the | mine deepens, the strike of the vein be- | ing indeed traceable on the surface to | depths below that to which 1t has al- | ready been opened out. The mines have l now been connected with the private | railroad by self-actIng incline, l.JOJ | 1 feet in length, of excellent construction, | as all the inclines are, SO that the ores l may be readily sent to the works.
 CorouaIo.-A large amount of work | l has been executed at those mines. The | ! day tunnel has been drifted nearly | | through tue crest of the hill, having ad- | yanced a total length of about ], ,4O0 feet, l measured from both ends, which are now within from forty to fifty yards of being connected. A greater length of it ! l IS in barren ground that We anticipated, ] but that is partly accounted for by 1 | the fact that latterly the object l has been to push It through m the l ground where the material was softest | Some exploring side mines and shafts l | have been also driven, but these have | not been generally so successful in find | ing ore as we would have liked. On the | other hand, additional shafts and short | mines further down the hill, on the | Boulder and Horse Shoe claims, have l disclosed rich and valuable bodies of | | ore, SO that altogether we see no reason 1 | to depart from the opinion we formerly l | expressed regarding the value of this | group. \ considerable quantity of ore has been accumulated at various dumps, 1 and there will be no difficulty in send ] | ing away and maintaining a daily out | put of thirty OF forty tons.
 Metcalf.-Ths work done at these 1
 mines has been of considerable extent l 4 self-acting incline, 200 feet in length. l has been completed tO these mines, and | | proportion Of the ore now used Is reg ularly sent tO the smeiters. There IS a ! quantity Of ore, estimated at S1O tons, l OF the dump, and we see no difficulty in ! obtaining a regular supply of over 40 | tons per day, a- a moderate cost per ton, | ] from these mines, but we have not the reGuisite data for offering an opinion as
