 Reymert.
 [Tucson1 n1Citizen.
 The Citizen reporter called on Judge !. D. Reymert, the well known locator and present operator of the Reymert mine, in Pinal County, one evening this week, at the San Xavier hotel. Judge Reymert has been in Pinal County for two weeks, and en route to Southern Californa, where he has one of the incest homes to be found | in that section of the Golden State. | He is pleasant gentleman, and un- like many mining mel encountered in | the west, there is nothing mysterious about his intentions, and he never any mock modesty about giv- ing a newspaper man an item, if he has one.
 THE ROGERS DISTRICT. "I have been putting in tine most of my time this trip in the Rogers mining district" said the Judge, where have force of men develop ing q valuable group of mines, which l have owned for several years. These mines are located eight miles north east of Reymert, and ten miles north of the Silver King. A company was recently organized to work this proper ty, by myself and few friends, under the name of the Silver Chief Mining Company. Considerable work has all ready been done on several of the claims, but now the work is being con fined to the Snap mine, which is show ing some very fine ore. MT. Geo. Atkinson, an experienced man, has been put in charge as superintendent, and he is now working six men. The ore being taken out will be left on the dump for the present; it is carbonate, with some galena, heavily charged with silver. The company was organized in September, and work began in November, since when 150 or 200 tons of ore has been taken out. In the Rogers district there is an abundance of wood and there is not a better range in Arizona.
 AT THE REYMERT.
 Judge Reymert then talked of the operations at the Reymert Camp, and in this he always delights. He was the original locator of this valuable property, and struggled hard and long in their development, and the fact that the Reymert is to-day considered the equal of any mining property in Arizona,is naturally source of gratiti- cation to him, made doubly gratifying by the further facts that he still owns the controlling interest in them. Eff teen stamps are now being run day and night at the mill, and so agree able is the ore that each stamp crush es three tons per day. There has just been completed an additional roaster of 45 tons capacity, which, with the old roaster, gives roasting capacity of 65 tons. New pans and settlers have been added in proportion, and everything is moving along in Syste- matic and satisfactory manner, pro- ducing bullion in sufficient quantities to leave profit after all improvements that are being made from month to month are deducted. The bullion pro duced at the Reymert contains abso- lutely no alloy, and commands a premium in the market. It averages 999 fine, andthe lowest returns ever received was 997.
 The we'll now being bored by MT Quiggle, of this city, is now down 5OC feet, and the water rises to within ten feet of the surface. MT. Quiggle has contract for 1000 feet, but it is expected that an inexhaustiable sup ply of water will be obtained at 6 depth of GOO or 700 feet. The well i: now in hard rock and only from 20 iC 40 feet per week is made, but tho ma chinery is working perfectly and nc trouble of consequence has been en countered since MT. Quiggle took charge of the work.
 Mir. Strohn the superintendent, i: now running a 400-foot tunnel into the south side of the hill in an easter ly direction which will cross the black manganese vein, connecting with the Europe shaft, to d depth of 130 feet $25, GOO worth of silver ore was taker and worked in the Specie Paying mill before the incorporation of the present company. The connecting of this tunnel and shaft will give abundance of air, and if present anticipations art realized it is the intention to brinI the ore out through the tunnel anC around the hill by rail to the mill thereby saving considerable expens' now incurred in hauling from thu mines to the mill.
 There are now 60 men at work or the mill and mines. The ore now be ing put through the mill is taken iron the America and the Africa mines,
