OHeOSCO7te fTOSpecJOf:
A letter received il Tombs yes
terday states that on Saturday last J
E. Durkee, the former well known
Tom bstoner, died st the Stockton iu-
sane asylum Durkee was one of the
wealthiest men in Tombstone ct one
time, and owned ell the teams and mules
now belonging TO Jos. Mcpherson &
Co., which was without question the
largest fseighting concern in sll Ari-
zone. Because of loss in mining mat
tiers and other troubles, his fortune
dwindled considerably and together so
preyed on bis mind that it was finally
found necessary to incarcerate him in
q private asylum and later to the Stock
ton asylum.
Mr.. A. Bauer was in yesterday from
his mines IN Antelope valley, about 20
miles from Tombstone. Since his last
visit here considerable work has been
done on his claims aud be reports that
everything looks most encouraging.
From the bottom of his 500 foot shaft
al incline drift on etringer has deve
loped tie fact that an immense ledge
has been opened. From inches wide
ss the beginning OF work, as progress
was made each day, has widened in SO
feet to over feet wide. This is sup
posed to be the identical ledge which
was struck III the lower shaft by an
accident and lucky blast, an account
OF which was given in the P-ospectOr
some time since. The ore is low grade
bus an immense quantity has been
developed which makes the property
even more valuable. Il is proposed to
run drift from the shaft into the big
bill upon which the immense groupings
boldly stand. An ore body here deve
loped would virtually mean mountain
of ore. Indications are favorable of
encountering some rich pockets of ore
on the continuation of the ledge and
work proceeds ipdustriously.

With good reason, that he does not in
end to do so. This opinion seems to
'e also entertained by his partner, Mr..
