THE REYMERT MINEJ
Judge Reymert Talks of the WonfeT- ful Property.--Wkat is now Being Done and What Will be Done!

Judge J. D. Reymert, president of the J. D. Reymert Mining Company, arrived in Tucson Saturday evening on business in the Surveyor Generals office, concern ing the patenting of a number of mines belonging to the company, including the group known as the Reymert mines, which are now considered by all who have seen them to be the most promis- ing of any mining property in Arizona. Judge Reymert has not been at the camp for several months, having gone to California for his health. He has been in Los Angeles, where in connection with hIs son he has opened law oiiico. The Judge, however, receives
 DAILY REPORTS
 from his superintendent, MT. Strawn, and they are all to the effect that the work on the mines Is satisfactory in every respect. Recently large body of ore was encountered in the Africa that will run very high, not less than 60 ounces in silver, while the America is showing better than ever. The work of
 BORING FOR WATER
 was commenced at the camp about five weeks ago. At first considerable trouble was encountered and several stratas of almost impenetrable rock was encoun- tered in the first hundred feet, but the rock IS growing softer and the drill is now cutting its way at a speed of about s feet a day. The depth attained al ready Is about ITO feet. No estimate can be formed as to how deep the well will have to be sunk before q supply of water is obtained. About two miles distance from this is we'll with plenty of water at a depth of 1S5 feet. There is
 9 STAMP PLANT
 on the ground, with twenty stamps in position, though as yet only ten stamps have been used. The water for the mill has heretofore been supplied from surface wells, which gave out during a dry season.
 If sufficient water is not to be had by sinking the problem has already been solved by the company. The water can be pumped from a creek a distance of three miles. Surveys have already been made on this proposition and it's practicability is thoroughly demonstrat- ed. This will give the Reymert all the l water that was used by the Silver King mine at Final.
 Just as soon as the well is done
 THE MILL WILL BE STARTED, and so soft is the ore that with revol- ] ving screen large amounts of it can be 1 milled without eve npassing under the | stamps at all Twenty stamps will be l will be started at first, and mine and 1 mill will furnish employment to at least fifty men besides the wood men, black 1 smiths. store and office men.
 There has already been taken out of | tho Reymert mine sufficient bullion to | pay for all the development work and | machinery now on the ground, besides | leaving large surplus to meet all the expenses of
 IMPROVEMENTS NOW BEING MADE.
 It is the generally expressed belief of | all mining men who have visited and ex- amIned this property that it is d bon anza beyond present estimation. Tht | ore now actually in sight is enough k | run 100-stamp mill for a generation | almost and with pumping machinery | enough water can be brought on the | ground from Chase creek to run that | amount of machinery.
 With twenty stamps it is expected to | start upon ;i basis of
 SIXTY TONS A DAY.
 and the plant will be enlarged from time to time. The ore can, with twenty | stamps, be milled at a cost less than $ per ton, including all expenses and de livering the bullion at tho railroad. As not q pouEd of the vast body of ore iu sight will average less than from B to 49 ounces in silver. it is easy to figure
