Never in the history of the mines in
Yuma county has the outlook been as
promising as at the present writing.
For several months past nearly every
week has revealed the hidden treasures
of prospects upon which generally but
| little work has been done, but in which
when shafts we're sunk a little deeper
or the tunnels aud drifts pushed a
little further into the mountain side,
great bodies of very rich ore have been
discovered. Nearly every week has
added several new discoveries TO the
already large list of rich and valuable
ones which are on record. The failures
| have been so few that we hardly ever
hear of one. Our miners and pros pee
tors never felt so happy, never felt so
sure of success as they do today. The
reliable reports received from every
camp in the county bears out in saying
that the mining prospects in Yuma
county never were so bright as they
are at the present time and never bid
so fair to crown the efforts of their
owners with success as they do to-day.

Mr. John Mitcheson, one of the for

near Gleason was Tombstone visitor
today. Mr.. Mitcheson, when seen 10y

find continues to surprise all who are
J watching developments. Since the
strike depth of nearly 30 feet ha:
been made and the ledge now wider
, than the confines of the shaft, its ex
tent will not be known until a cross
cut is run. The strike was made at {
depth of about fifty feet and the pres
ent depth being nearly 30 feet, th'
same is to be continued to 100 fee
