TOMBSTONE. Splendid Showing of the T. M. and M. Company. HER STAR WILL RISE AGAIN The Freeze Out Will not Last
 Always.
FER STAR WILL RISE AGAIN
Encouraging Reports From A diacsnt
 Districts

1he current impression obtains
 abroad that Tombstone is dead. that
 her star is fallen ne-er to rise again. The fact of her busy ten thousand peo-
 pie of a few years ago having dvindled
 to meagre two thousand Is cited as conclusive evidence that her best days
 have passed away; and to strengthen
 this assumption It has been asserted
 that the mines are played out" or can
 not be worked successfully below the
 depth attained being the water level.
 No" there Is doubtless some miseoncep-
 ton of the facts in the case. ExDeri-
 ments from day to day are developing
 the truth more clearly than ever that
 ooundless treasures. in rIcE ore lie far
 beneath any point where mining has
 been carried CD, and the only difficulty
 that bars more extensive Operations
 than Tombstone has ever seen is a
 satisfactory agreement between the
 several great mining companies interest ed as 10 the best method of drainage of
 ths mines, and the quota of expenss each shall bear ID it's accomplishment. A good syst sm of drainage, consisting of powerful pumping plant would, it IS believed, prove sufficient for the principal portion of the greet product we mines adjacent Tombstone. It is confidently asserted by the best author lty on the question that should an amlcable adjustment of this matter be effected little time would elapse before three thousand men could and would be employed here and conse oueus scenes of busy ] fe would ensue beycnd comparison to the palmy da.,s to which all old TOmbFtonues deI;obt to refer. 1t IS now generally agrs ed Inv Tombstone c t zens that 1t IS buI.
