 REyMERT MINE, June I2, 1889.
 I arrived at the future boss mining camp to-day, from Florence. If all that has been said about this camp is true, 1t will be boss indeed. The Reymert mines were located about seven years ago, by J. Noon Reymert, and the place has heretofore been known as DeNoon, though now it is generally spoken of as Reymert. A 20 stamp mill was erected here three years ago, since which time the mine has not been ahle to run during the dry season, and was shut down two weeks ago on that account. However, the machinery is now at work boring a we'll for water. The water used here toiore, has been from surface wells, which furnish an abundance of water for eight months in the year, but go virtually dry when the rains cease. The mine is said to be the largest in the territory, and enough ore is known to exist to run a mill for years. It is said that a seventy stamp mill may be put i'll operation If sufficient water is obtained. A failure to secure water here would probably result in the re- moyal of the mill to the river. MT. Harry Blauvelt is here. He was form erly with j. D. Walker X Bro, at the Vekol. He has charge of the assay ing business.
 There are now about 27 men in the camp, and they are good crowd and know how to treat a strang- er No whisky is allowed to be sold here, and the company will not permit a saloon on their property. Over at the mine, two miles from here, there are two saloons.
 MT. John Woollomes, formerly of Pinal, is here, and keeps stable and corral. He has some good horses, and expects 70 do good business when the camp assumes activity.
 The well is being bored by Mckenzie and Reynolds, the well-known Tucson well-borers. They have the contract at so much per foot.
 Leroy Tucker, an old time Arizona miner, is here. He has been unfor- tunate ill some of his operations in the past, but has plenty oi staying quail ties at "A years of age. He is assist ing in boring the well.
 The blacksmith shop is under the skillful care of Frank ONeal, another well-known mill man in the territory.
 Rey:nert Is 70 miles from Florence and Is miles from Silver King. The | ho 1 ence Is very hot, but here the eleva- tion keeps the thermometer down to a respectable point.
 Not far from here is the Mineral Hill district, where is located some splendid mining properties. MT. c. W. Tillman, of | lorence, owns a splendid group of mines in this sec tion, known as the "Timekeeper, Grizzly" and "Green Brier." On the "Tinekeeper" shaft has been sunk 90 feet with 30 foot drift, and on the Grizzly 30 foot tunnel has been run III WiliI il -U iOoU urffJ, gIr SllOWIng ] good galena ore carrying some gold There is an abundance of living water at hand for working these mines, an, if they are developed will yield heavy profits. MT. Tillman Is not able tC operate these mlnes, and has never yet tried to induce capitalists to take hold of them.
 The Rey Company is reputec to have plenty of capital, and 1t Is be lieved that this camp will be as large as the King ever was.
 MT. William Sicily of Pinal is build ing d saloon near here, just across the company's property line, and vii move his saloon from Pinal.
 MT. T. Nicholas, of Pinal, furnishes this camp with beef, as well as Pima Silver King.
 SILVER KING, June 12, 'S9.
 There is nothing to write from Sil yer King. There are about 2S men al work in the mine, but they don' know what they are doing. If they do they won't tell. Tho sgperintend ent MT. Comstock is q very pleasan gentleman but said that any informa ton concerning the Silver King, or 1t workings would have to come iron Mir W. s. Lyle, the manager. boiler and engine has recently beer put to work in the mine, but what l is doing no one knows. The compan. evidentally expect 10 strike something somewhere sometime or they woul' not continue the work. Only on saloon Is now running in the place and the proprietor of that has alread ioosened hls anchorage, and if tn camp goes down another peg or tw ) he will be of to the Reymert, whithe all eyes are turned.
 The Reymert mines were visited tC day by the wandering reporter. The
 are situated one mile and half iron DeNoon, or the Reynert mill, wher

 mountain. At the mines considerabl n activity was manifested Several ne r. buildings are going up. Messrs. Wi Hams and Mcqueen have very nic 'i saloon; MT. Stetiy, formerly of Pima
 is building another, and will move il to it in few days. Besides tines . several substantial residences are b, ing erected. Messrs. Knight and Gu :, ry have creditable stock of merchal II disc in a good new frame building an '. Mir. J. H. Brown presides over til o boarding house. The Reymert pro- v erty consists of seven claims of 15I = feet each, running north and soutl T the camp being located on the clail
 farthest south. The foreman of u d mine was met and accompanied int a the mine. The tunnel is now ov' ,r 800 feet into the mountain and after
