NO.2S.

lar The space required for the pump inc machinery is very large, and the ex- cavation already made south or the hoisting works shows the work to pc an undertaking worthy of it's object and the company who have projected It. m the mine body of men IS employ cd nli- ing up empty places and worked out stopes with waste dirt whilst the holst- ing engine has been entirely gwen up to the work of the new shaft, DO waste or ore is being hoisted. But this will ID no way interfere with the working of the mill, as not only was there reserve of goo tons there when ore raising was stopped. but there IS a dump of over 3 O60 tons of ore which will average at least S24 per ton, which Is being shipped off to Contention to keep the stamps running. For the first six months of 1863, 1895 tons of ore were raised, pro ducing 205 bars of bullion, valued at S553OS5.91. The s7erage nnnber or men employed Is TIC, and :o the forto- nate shareholders regular monthly dlvl- dends of S62, 800 have been paid over.- Republican
 Epitaph: The Alps mine.-No. 2 shaft is down 135 feet. For the present work in shaft No. has been suspended, all the available force of men that can be worked being transferred to No. 2. It is calculated that 75 feet has still to be made in the depth of this shaft before striking the main orc, and the middle Of September will be the date of reaching the distance named. At this depth two drifts wlll be run, one of which ought to' cut the ledge that IS looked for; five men working steadily: the rock improv-- ing with every fOot's progress. Pedro ConsolidateI-The tunnel in this property IS to-day in 450 feet. It is calculated that at a further distance Of about 100 feet the main ledge will be struck. The face of the tunnel shows evident signs of a cessation of the hard lime and quartzite which has hitherto been prevalent, cracks, Assures and crey- ices being everywhere apparent. During the progress of the work several streaks of ore have been met with, all trendlng in the direction of the main ledge, an indication that IS worthy of not being lost sight of.
 The Randolph has eight men working steadily ID the new shaft not lar from the cOmpsny's main shaft. The chlO- riders at present in possession made shipment of 40 tons of their ore to the Benson smelter on the l7th. part of which. being assorted, ought to return good proceeds.
 Clara Desn-This property, situated near Watervale, IS one of the group known as the Helvetia. A tunnel has been run in 70 feet with such results as To induce the owners to sink double compartment shaft at the end thereof. This step having been decided on, work commences at once. There IS mineral here and plenty of it; indeed, the ques- ton arises, where m this Tombstone mining district Is there not mineral Pluck and capital alone are required. JMamie-Three men are hard at work extracting ore from some of the rich seams so often met with in the mIne. The work of asserting Is carried on with care and precision, and some rich ore is the result, much of which is of a high grade and valuable.
 Referring to the Golden Rule mine, situated near Summit station m CochIse county, the Southwest Sentinel says Assays of Golden Rule ore show that, at the depth of 1S0 feet, present work ings, the average IS rather better than at the top. The formation k regular, the NElu Ol NltLn tAc tuAAAG uNbtA and in all the shafts, and experienced miners express the opinion that 1t wln continue to the depth Sf l ,599 or 2,0OO feet The stockholders seem to be jubI- lant, and it Is expected that, when the mill Is in operation, regular dividends will be declared to the amount of S25,- GOO or S300O0 per month"
