The outlook is more and more encouraging as devel- opments progress, and considering the immense work which the company has laid out for itself they cannot but feel gratified at their success so far. The Crocker tunnel No. 1, is at present nearly 60 feet in ledge matter, face look Ing splendIdly, with very rich stringers and punches of ore; assays running up to S5UO and S6OO, with an average of StO. The tunnel Is about 200 feet from sur face croppings and does Lot as yet show any signs of approaching hanging wall. It is sad that In thsIr different tunnels, wiazes and drifts the company have five faces all ID ore. It is anticipated that several feet wIll yet have to be run H. the No. before eneOuntering tie ledge, winch is expected to be very rich when struck. It was expected when No. , was first started loo feet would be re- quIred to tap the ledge, which was en- countered at SS feet. \ drift is to be run fir m the No. ,, in order to make connection with tunnel No 1, both on | the Crocker.
 E. F. Bivirs, who in 1880 managed the sale of the GunsIght mine to Eastern capitalists, is now making arrangements for the erection of reduction woiks on the old Plcacho mine, there being au abundance of water near by n the Des ert Well mine, owned and patented by O. r. Huntington, of San Francisco. Both properties are located 10 mil, s from QuIjOtoa.
 l.. J. F. YseSer, of Yuma, Is also de velOpiBg his Cokespa mine, located by him over twenty ! ears ago and situated one and hall miles from the Picacno The Cokespa has large vein of rich ore, and its proximity to the old Picacho mine IS sure guaranty that at no dis tant day one of the most tiourishing camps of Pima county will yet be found m that neighb 'rhood. "roppy" John son has taken hold of the Silver Maid. the newly discovered claim of 4. J. Fra ser. He has put force of men 10 work taking out ore, winch he intends 10 ship to the Benson smelter. IL works great
 
 10 such A distance, and 1t Is hoped re- duction works wlk soon be put up here, which would prove n snug httle fortune tO their owners. Three companies have lately been organized to work here, with capital stock of SlO,0O0,0O0, divided into 100000 shares of Sl0O each; the Qui- jOtoa, Accidental and Peacock. The Qui- jotoa is the south extension of the cele- brated CrOcker mine, and is appropri ately named, being located in the very apex of the Quiiotoa peak, from which the range Of the mountains take its name. It is not sn unusual thing to find on its rocky bluffs ore running into two and three thousaud dollars. The Accidental Is situated on the west side of the mountain; Is the southern exten- sion of tbe Combination, md will un- doubtedly prove a Very desirable prop erty, Us will also the Peacock, the merits of which have already been demonstrated. IL Is confidently ex- pected that the new companies will shortly employ force of men, develop their properties, and show to the world that there are in tbe Quiiotogs several rich deposits outside of the Bonauza mlnes
 hope in my next to report prepHrs- tions for opening up the uewly-in- corporsted mines, and the progress of the same. which sill in all probability end in the uuearthing of more treasures, and enhance in va!u,. all of Quijoio .'s wonderful properties, for the day IS not far distant when It will be clearly demonstrated that there are here the grand,st ani most imposing deposits of ore on the Pacific coa-t.
