ARIZONA WEMN> WEEK.

I-le isHi K oF- tu- fxx"-Sc' 0S''''i 4' Arizona are beingGabidIy depleted by
 the scythe Of Time. Among the few who remain with Us is Capt. J. H
 Teyis. who has been in the territory
 forty years, and although advanced in
 years, is remarkably vigorous and ac-
 tive. Despite the Captains peculiar
 ities, he is big hearted and an interest
 ing man, possessed Of a fund of infor-
 nation and ren1inescence of the early
 days of Arizona. Recently the Cap
 tain gave up the Depot hotel at Bowie, but has opened his old hotel building
 on the north side Of the railroad track. i A company is being organized in Ohio to work the old Tom bstone mines.
 The Grand fCentrai and Contention
 mines closed down many years ago be- cause of the expense necessary to re- l build a pumping plant of sufficient magnitude, but the Chicago Record says party of capitalists of Youngs- | town, Ohio, are preparing to organize
 q company 10 develop these properties. ] Both of the mines mentioned paid well l from the grass roots and during the
 days when silver found ready sale | these mines were great dividend pay
 CTS. It is sincerely to be hoped that this report is true, and it would once
 more make Tombstone resound to the
 music of bygone prosperous days.

 which are to be commenced on the Far l ley-Kay properties, which have been taken hold of by company of St, Joe, 1 Mo-, capitalists, Two tunnels arc to be driven, Ono tunnel will be 3,i00 feet
