The Pima District

! Camp. are just beginning to become known, and the miners are making more clear money than those of any other chloriding camp m Arizona. Mir. c. l.. Johnson keeps two four-horse teams constantly on the road hauling ore to Tucson and occasionally he finds it nec- esssry to procure extra teams to trans port the ore. He goes out and loads | one day and returns the next, taking out as return freight ten or n dozen barrels O! water which is sold to those miners who have no teams to haul water from the wells to their camps.
 Nearly all the ore Is shipped either ! through Messrs. Allison .S Son, or Major E. Fechet of this city, and returns are | always secured within week after ship ment.
 There are now eighty-six persons To- cated m the camp, by actual count, and when Rn election precInet Is established there. 1t will stand third on tLe list in the number of votes cast.
 4 petition for a postofiice has been forwarded To Washington, and when one Is established the name of the camp will be changed to Olive, after the fla nous Olive mine.
 Mir. Jas. k. Brown keeps the boarding house and has thirty six steady board CTS, at one dollar per day each. He sets a good table and if some ut the mines We're not too far away all the miners would board with him at the very req sonable price charged.
 NIT. Goldman has s saloon, which in- sure the camp the dignity Of towu, for a saloon IS usnBllY the nucleus of a mining camp. In thIs camp, however ! the men are too industrious tO spend much of theiI time in a saloon, and they patronize 1t only m s temperate way. Fresh meat Is supplied twice a week regularly. and its price ranges from five to eight cents per pound. The Indians | bring n venison quite often and sell 1t very cheap. 4 Mexican milkman reach es camp at daylight every morning and sells pure milk at fifty cents per gallon. | Game Of all kinds also sbOunds in the neighborhood.
 Water can be had st two wells in abundance, and 1t is of excellent quality. The miners who have teams haul water in barrels to their mines.
 The Olive miEe, owned by Messrs. Allison, Conlee and Brown, Is the bo- nanza oi the camp. IL Is leased by Messrs. Bogan x McMillan. who work sixteen men, and the shipments of ore yield from $500 to SSOOO per month leaving a handsome margin to the lessees.
 The Pioneer IS the property of MT. Green Rusk. Half of the mine is leased to Mickles lS Ellis and half to Mir. Wal. ter 5. Neville, and both parties are talk ing out lots of ore. The former parties are taking out ore from a 30-foot shaft, and in a new shaft have ll-inch pay streak of high grade ore. Mir. Neville Is taking ont about ten tons per month of fine ore.
 The Richmond. also owned by Mir. Green Rusk, Is operated by Frank Nor. ton X Co., who are working on a SIX inch vein of ore that works 10G ounces ID silver ard 43 per cent lead.

 The Break Even, owned by Mir. E. E. Clifford, and leased by Messrs. Clark & Grover, is turning out an un- expected bonanza. When the lessees took this property the ore had pInched out entirely. For seventeen days they worked hard in rock as barren of metal as s board, when suddenly they came upon R body of gslens ore from one foot to two feet seven inches ID width. They shipped twelve tons yesterday that assays S6 ounces in silver and 5S per cent lead. The ore body IS still strong and is improving.
 The Miner Boy is owned by Mr. Ali son and leRsed by Dyar k Webster. They have F tons of 70-ounce ore ready for shipment.
