 A visit to Gro Blanco and Arizona from Tucson has to be made by private con veyance. The road is neglected since the stages quit running. Now the people in this section get their mail via Calabasas, causing delays that should be remedied.
 The developments now going on in Gro Blanco district will warrant the Post office department in changing the route back to Tucson to giving the people daily mail
 The work that hos been done on the Yellow Jacket during the past 12 months, warranted the erection of a 2O-stamp mill. This plant is probably the finest ont in the territory. The mill is known as the Boss Standard mill and consists of pans, 1 grinders and settlers.
 The water for the mill is pumped from the mine, which is near by The ore can be run into the mill with but little ex- pense.
 There has beon somc 30CO feet of work done on the miue. 4 depth of 200 feet has been reached: here the water is giv- ing some trouble, but will be overcome by the pumps DOW in place.
 \ drift Of 100 feet was run southeast on the 200-foot level that shows a 12-foot ore body.
 On the l50foot level a drift was run southeast 2l0 feet-all ill ore. On tLe same level north west above l00-foot level the ore body is 3 feet wide.
 At the l00-foot level running southeast 300 feet, shows all this work to be in ore to the face. At distance of IA feet on this level a stope to the surface shows continuous ore body that goes from $25 to t.,r, ftIaTs ho1 IaAr, As1faI by running is ores through the old Me CaGerty mil. and its managers know what t0 depend upon. On the north west of tue 100 foot level a drift of 400 feet has put in but the ore body was not as good as that of the opposite one.
 At distance of 20 feet in a stope to the surface showed fine body of ore. At a distance on same level an air shaft to the surface was made.
 The ground on the 100-foot level stands well, but when below this the ground be- comes damp causing the ground tO give. The company is putting in timbers.
 It is said D. k. Flames or ii. B. Clatflin X O., put up the money to erect the McCafierty mill and after repeated ef forts to realize out of 1t sent $. W. Royce out to represent him, with instructions to go down on the McCaferty mine and find something; this the good-natured Royce did, but had to give the job up as a hard one. Then Royce returned to New York and it is said Flames insisted on Royce coming back to Arizona and to get a mine, no matter what 1t cost So $. w. Royce and John Began believe they have mine that will play Flames even. There is a good road to the Yellow Jacket camp after you leave the Arizona road.
 The town of Gro Blanco consists of one store conducted by C.. J. Phillips, who carries all the necessities for a mining camp. There is good deal of placer and amalgam gold and silver brought to this camp.
 A good school is to be found here with a lady teacher
 There are some fine properties that will likely come into public notice before long.
 At the Warsaw camp, the old mill is rusting away after blasting the hopes of it's projectors. The faults are said to have been with the men and not the ore bod ies.
 John Lyle, hospitable gentleman, and his wife, reside near by the Warsaw A fine band of cattle takes up most of his time. At present the finest silver pros pect in that section attracts his attention This claim is two miles south of west from the Warsaw and Is known as the EmeliO.
 The claim was discovered nine months ago. Ore has been shipped since its dis covery. Four shafts have been opened, all showing a fine ore vein. The deepest is down about D feet showing increasing width in the vein. Work has been close on the vein for 800 feet, and shows no variation of richness. Regular shipments are made to Nogales. The fortunate owners have reason to look forward to prosperity.
 John Bartlett is living at Gro Blanco and is interested in mining, but most of his time is taken up with his ranch in Bear Valley.
 Clint Thompson is here also and at present takes contracts to do work in mines and for furnishing work. Dr. Noon is still with the camp, the surrouudmgsind dicaiing prosperity.
 The grass through all this section is good, furnishing plenty of feed for the many thousand head of cattle and horses. Arivaca the old firm of N. w Bernard x Co.,, is still mining. The stock indicates a good trade.
 | The old hotel has been partly repaired and is run by Salvador Pignataro.
 J. NJ. Kirkpatrick is working his prop critics and improving them as fast as his | limited means will permit.
