 The year 1893 has started out we'll in Cochise county to not only increase it enormous output but to make it ono of the banner counties in the territory, From every section of the county-irom the Chiricahuss, Swiss helms and Ora goons on the north to the Huach ucas on the south, and from the Serra Madres on the east to the Whetstones on the wsst--tomes most encouraging reports. Mines that have been idle for several years past are being opened up by their owners or by prospectors who have re located them. The increase in the prics of copper has stimulated prcspe tors to investigate small croppings of that metal which they had discovered when they were looking for the more precious metals.
 In the Dos Cabezas region everything is moving along smoothly, the mine owners are all working their prospects and considerable ore Is being taken out. The mill has been thoroughly ove, hauled and is now ready to drop stamps on ore from the Philadelphia and other mines belonging to the company. Ores from other mines in the vicinity vii. alse be worked, thereby glvlng the miners in that section chance to have their ore worked near at hand.
 A two foot ledge of ore has been found by Gardner and others on their pi oper. ties near StaIk's ranch, which caused considerable exci tenent sbuut mouth since. The ledge as-ayr nearly as well as the rich float found at the time oi the excitement, and promises to ylyl hdn:l. some returns to It's oWn.rs.
