So evenly do we keep the even tenor of our way that it is difficult to find anything to write you that will prove interesting to your readers.
 The Duquesne mining company, under the superintendency of k. II. Rhodes, an old Cochise county man, are working with good prospects that make not eRly miner feel glad, but add to the wealth of the shareholder. More men have been put to work, which counterbalances for the car penters discharged-aN building hay ing about ceased. Although it is re- ported that no ore has been encoun- tered in the second shaft, now down about 75 feet, indications are such as to induce further sinking. Little out side work is being done, unless lay ing out townsites can thus be clas- sitied.
 A repetition of Tombstone's early days is here threatened. We may be cursed or blessed with Tombstone, New Tombstone and q Richmond, with other names. Mart Maloney, the veteran, claims not only the best proportion of the country for town site, but ayers that he will have pop ulation of some hundreds of souls To- cated here within few months. We hope so; in the meantime, however, the old-timer, Geo. A. Brooks, whom to not know would be to argue our selves unknown, dispenses, with his usual grace, that which on occasions maketh a mans heart glad and at other times lands him in the gut ter.
 The Olive is still working, with Michael Carroll as chief, and the out put is such that the owners are per fectly satisfied
 The Bullwhacker or Golden Gate, owned by Carroll, Hubbard X Co.,, is still producer and has so much inn proved of late that two more men have been put to work.
 At Harshaw nothing of importance has occurred since my last. Chlorid- ing is not being indulged in to any ex- tent at present. The Hermosa is still running in full blast no stoppages to mar the pleasure of Mr Finley's week ly visits to the railroad to ship bullion. c. Marsden, at the Trench, is making it to pay, but your correspondent so far, like so many others, has been un- able to obtain figures; shrug of the shoulders is all that can be had from either proprietor or foreman.
 Renouf, another of Cochise county's pioneers, whom as I presume you know, has lately been appointed post master of the burg, is at present mak- ing alterations to enable him to serve the public in a becoming manner Around his stove at nighttime are to be found lot of gOssips, and the great majority claim & residence at some time in Tombstone. George Fraser discusses engineering, Marsden and McCloud on the proper method tC adopt to prevent timbers from rot ting and falling. McCloud suggests 8 steepage in alcohol; Marsden think: it too expensive, and argues that il would be waste of the material that goes so far towards making that which can be used to better advantage when fellow feels tired, don't you know
 Whilst fitting around Hsrshaw had the pleasure of saying "How dye do? To Charles Reppy, the cattle baron, whose domain lies adjacent tc that of the Cameron brothers, the cat tie kings. Although not well pleased with present prospects, he informed "Will O the Wisp" that if cattle die not pay chickens would, and displayed some fifty dozen new laid eggs sold or his arrival to the storekeeper. Hi health being first class, let me here state for the benefit of medical men that to come here to practice woul( simply be folly; in fact it is a ques ton if the tract devoted to the bury ing of the dead should not be throwi open to settlement.
