WEEKLY MINING REPORT.
The Mining Excitement in
Yuma County the Centre
Of Attraction.
But the Tombstone Mines Continue to
Produce their Share.

| Ahe oASIteAAcut oNcf tsiS new otflko
in what is known ~ Centennial dis
trict, is unabated. The latest reports
but confirm the first stories OF the rich
and extensive deposits OF mineral in
the new district. The rush for the
new camp is unprecedented since the
discovery OF Tombstone, and its per
inanent and prosperous future will be
OF great advantage to the future Of
southern Arizona. Capital will come
and will not, after it has once crossed
the line into our Territory, retire with
out investigating the mineral resources
Of our southern counties. Tombstone
has nothing to lose by the exodus of .
large number Of her citizens; others
will come and fill up the vacant
plsces%new blood and new life. And
that is just what We need TO bring us
out of our present dormant condition.
Southern Arizona i. being more extern
sively advertised at present than At any
time during the past eight years, and
it is very narrow-minded man that
will look upon the present boom with
a feeling OF jealousy.
HERsCHEL.
The Herschel continues to keep up
its record ~ being . bullion producer
of no small magnitude. Two cars Of
four hundred dollar ore have been
shipped during the past week. The
south drift on the 60-foot level Was
brought to q sudden stop by breaking
through into drift OF the Old Guard,
which had been run in the Hcrschel
ground about twenty feet, when the
shutting down of work on the former
stopped operations. Most of the ore
is being taken from the slopes. The
Wine is down q feet in body of high
grade ore. A drift has been started
from tho north shaft, running south
with indications of ore on all sides.
