WEEKLY MINING REVIEW.
PIMA COUNTY.

MEEhLf MINiN6 hEFlEW.
 PIMA COUNTY.
 The Ouijotoa country is just now at- trscting much attention, and many loca- lions are being made not only in the Quijotos mountains, but in all the adIa- cent mountain ranges. Prospectors are going in from every direction. During the pas. few days hundreds of prospec- tors and miners have gone to that re- zion of country, and from what We can learn they are only the beginning of what is to follow. It Is to be hoped, however, that parties not prepared to bide their time until active work be- gins will not rush in, as nothing can be gained by such 8 course. Those who have teams, supplIes or money can take their chances; but those who gre not so prepared had better wait little longer
 Papago Chief-Work is being pushed on this mine. A large amount of sup plies, including lumber for new build ings, was sent ont last week, and the xorking force will be materially in creased st once.
 Silver Mountsin.-A contract has been let for the sinking of a working shaft on this mine, and the necessary supplies were forwarded last week. It is said to be fine prospect. It is situ- sted near the Pspago Chief, and about nine miles from the Peerless Group in the Quiiotos range of mountains.
 Work has also been started up on s number of prospects in the Quiiotos, as well as the Comobabi mountains, and we hope to report the results in the CIT HEN as developments progress.
 Franco oAmericsn.-Reports from this mine are to the effect tL.t 1t looks bet Ter than ever. A cross-cut has been started from the 50-foot level which, at latest reports, was ia 23 feet, and in sol i'd copper ore of good quality all the way that runs from 10 to forty. seven per cent. iu copper. The ore Is mal8chite and green carbonnates of copper, with ire quent deposits of red oxide and black copper, asssying as high as S2 Der cent. There IS no waste from the cross-cut. There are about 75 tons of ore on the dump. which is being increased at the rate of about three tons a day.
 Total Wreck.-A force of men have been put On tine Total Wreck mine, with a view of prospecting for ore. Should sufficient amount of ore be developed the mill will be started up. It is the opinion of those who should know most about the mine, that plenty of ore will be found.
 CACHIsR COUNTY.
 There IS nothing new to report iron Tombstone. The pumps have been -taried up in the Contentron and Grand Cen rsl mines. and the impression pre- Sails with all that they will be able tc clear the mines of water. The mines are yielding their usual supply of ore, and he mills keep pounding away, which i, The very b st evidence of the healthy condition of the camp.
 Hitherto Tombstone has, ss the Re publican of late date puts.it, been "h ht heart and soul of Cachise county" II silver mining; but Bisbee has become one of the most successful copper camp, ID the country, and during the past weel the Queen company has purchased thu | Fucker mine, which IS an extension o the Queen, and very valuable coppel property. We may expect a long anC -uccesstul yield from the Coppe Queen Company. The management Of the mine and smelters has al ways been good; their reserves hRvt been kept far beyond the working cap Acity of the smelters to reach, hence nt stops or delays of any consequences hay, ever occurred, and the mine has turneC
 ut a continuous stream of copper bull lion from the day it started up to tn present date.
 In referring to the probabilities of tn outlying districts, the Republican make the statement that "the coming year vii | be very active one in the HuRchucl mountains. Many claims that SO ia asve been unhesrd of will be worked md much eastern capital IS likely t dnd its way to this camp. The loy price of copper now prevailing increase the demand Tn thousand ways, ant this demand IS more likely to increas than fall of; consequently, copper min ing IS sure to be paying investment fo | years to come. All portions of the worlt which produce copper are prosperous impoftaahhccss.' IHhiss IHhisT- industry belong peculiarly to Arizona and northern So nora, and in few years will form on Of our chief industries.
