WEEKLY MINING REPORT.
PIMA COUNTY.

The Cababi Consolidated Mining Company. - Tho men composing the above named company are Philadelphia gentlemen, who without display or fuss, have been quietly developing number of mines in the Cababi molntains, about ten or twelve miles this side of the Qui- jotoa district. The result of develop ments SO far are very satisfactory to the company. They have taken out United States patent for five claims belonging | to tbeir group in the Cababi mountains, Cababi district, VIZ: First Prize, Grand Prize, Petanke, Llttlefiel1 and Little | Monarch, and have done considerable developing work on several other claims in the group. Some of the ore is free and runs up well ID silver. 4 shipment of ore in bulk to Philadelphia from the First Prize, Grand Prize and Littlefield mine (from smelting ores) run from 30 oz. upward to the ton in silver.
 Another shipment in bulk from the main veIn on the Grand Prize gave from tine furnaces F per cent. copper.
 Excavations from drifts in the tunnel from the northwest shaft into the hill, shows some very fine silver ore. This ledge is a very promising one, and seems to be distinct from the main vein which runs so heavily in copper. A shipment of ores from different veins on three of these claims was run into mat and the charge showed v per cent. copper to the ton, and on assay S3S in silver with a small quantity of gold. Thus proving these mines excellent properties. Their neaness to Tucson, makes shipments easy. There Is plenty oc wood and water at the mines. The district sur rounding this company's property con- taius other valuable claims.
 COCHIsE COUNTY.
 Contention.-This mine is going along at it's usual rate, the ore bins being easily kept full of ore, and the pumps con trolling the water with comparative ease. The large screws and braces for support irg the working barrel and draw-lift of ! Francisco. As soon as they arrive sink ing in the main shaft will be resumed. The stopes on the 400 and 600-fOot levels are looking remarkably well, with ore enough in sight to keep the mine run- ming at full capacity for many months to come.
 Grand CentraL-ContInue to make its usual daily shipments; the ore bins are full; stopping Is being done On four different levels The pumps keep stead fly at work and are overcoming the water rapidly. This mine seems tC have greater flow of water than the Con tentiOn, but the combined working of the pumps in the two mines will ooubt- less soon overcome this formidable ad- versary 10 inning. The conpany's mIll on the river IS running at full capacity handling about Sj tons of ore daily.
 Girard- The ore in the bottom of the new shaft Is leading off tO the south, toward the ore body on which work had already been done in the old workings. Work Is progressing rapidly, aLd the developments are hattering ln the ex- treme.
 . Lucky Cuss-This mine is producing a considerable quantity of manganese, which is used at the smelter at Charles ton. The majority of thIs ore IS rather low grade, but makes an excellent lux when mixed with other ores and the con- , centratiOns from the nil.
 . Girard-This mine has now quite a . large quantity of ore in sight, end IS steadily pushing developments with a force of ten men. Some ore IS being hoisted and shipped, and the prospects are that in the near future this mine, which has so long been doing com . paratively little, will become one of our } heavy and regular producers.
 Copper Queen: This mine goes on as usual, turning out its regular daily ship , ments. The iron deposits recently dis covered on the 300 level makes an ex- . cellent Aux, and is being used in -DIsGe ! ! -EAiarI. rns furnaces are running l steadily. The stOpes are all in ex- cellent condition and easily keeps the furnaces running.
