has so long been predicted. 4 par ty of 5. r. officials passed up the road last week, and stopped over here to investigate the water ques- tion at Shakespeare. They were
 satisfied, and the moving of the
 round house from Deming is now
 an established fact. Al, arrange.
 ments have been completed for
 bringing water from the Jerry
 Boyle mines, the signatures to the
 papers only being lacking.
 The mines at Gold Hill and Ma
 lone are not creating much of q ! furore, although it is believed that
 July will be busy month with
 Gold Killers. The claim owners
 are sanguine and in the meantime
 are busily engaged in developing
 their properties.
 At Pyramid times have liveucd
 somewhat. and the usual sleepy
 appearance of the camp is gradual
 ly giving way to one of activity. The machinery for the Gypsy
 Queen. mill is all on the ground and
 the erection of the mill is now un-
 der way The mill will be in run
 nng order probably about the
 middle of July. A small force of
 men are employed on the mines,
 and TO additional hands will be
 put on until the mill is completed.
 The Gypsy Queen is the leading
 mine in the camp, and is attract ing considerable attention. The
 mine is in shape to produce ore in unlimited quantities. At the 150 foot level ore was first found in quantity, which gradually increas- ed until the 1S0-foot level was reached where the vein is 2I feet between the walls. Five feet of this is high grade, whilst the en- tire ledge will average S40 per ton. Four separate veins exist, which are uncovered by as many differ erent drifts. The supply of ore need only be limited by the de- mand. An air compressor is among the improvements contem- plated, and steam drills will be in ! troduced The mill is a ten stamp | with capacity for increase. Dun can concentrators will be used. | and gold as we'll as silver will be treated. The mill will also do GUS | tom work, which will prove bless ing to mlne owners in surround | ing camps. The mines in the camp generally arc looking well ond d5ttelt1 owners are confident of mxl5u3 k fortune.:M
 The Robert E. Lee has a 16d3t i down 65 feet, with drlftsr5 f6kk each way along the vein which isf eight feet wide. Eight car loads of ore have been shipped with sat isfactory results. -....
 The Little Nell is begging along as fast as the limited means of the owners will permit, and has small lot of S1O0 ore on the dump. The shaft is so feet deep.
 The True Blue is taking out con siderable quantities of high grade ore. The vein is two feet wide and is increasing in slze as depth is at tained. The ore carries chlorides. bromides and native sil- yer. No ore has been shipped since the new strike was made. Sam ples have been sent to Tucson for assay. but the results have not yet reached here.

 Quite conhagration visited us on Saturday night last, about TO o'clock. The large store house of , Col. J. T. McWhirt with all its contents was destroyed, as well as TWO adjoining buildings. The loss S considerable, and the insurance, , f any, I have been unable to as | certain. The fire is supposed to 1 lave been the work of an incendi- ny.
 No rain has visited this locality i md feed is very dry. t
