 Era in History of Oldest Mining Camp in Territory of Arizona


 It is exceedingly gratifying to every true AriZonian to contemplate me manner in which grand historic, re- minicent old Tombstone is gathering up her raiment and wading out or the swamps of business lethergy Tn which she has been unavoidably en- tangled since the good white metal fell from its high estate Above the bones of the pioneers, the flowers of pros perity are once more budding forth and the benediction of departed heros seems to surround them with halo of reyiving glory. What must be the impression of the lover of romantic history as he traverses the dismal drift. and the cavernous stope echoes once more the foot falls of new born progress. From a gentleman promi- rent in mining We learn that Tomb stone district is once more the ,heater of extraordinary industrial ac- tivity.
 The old trails which had grown dim from years of disuse, know once more the pressure of thousand hurrying feet and the foot hills are once more reverberating with the shots of the prospector and miner. The debris or time is being rapidly cleared away, while new fields never dreamed Of be- fore are opening up before the inde- fatigable energy of the irresistible i'm pulse. and Tombstone will soon be re enthroned with all her original glory. Our informant who happens to be 0. H. Briggs asserts that he saw an abundance of ore recently brought to the light of day which runs 1S,OOO ounces in silver besides important values in gold and lead. He put in several days tracing the great mineral belt for a distance of several miles in the direction of Bisbee. and found won- derful surface indications to the point where the mineral trend dips be- meath the surface. He found that the mineral belt shows up again at Mule mountain and heads directly. for Bis bee. taking in the Modern on the way, much of the Modern ore bearing a striking resemblance to the class of mineral predominating in Tombstone. The mineral measure forks near Mule mountain, a branch of interesting pro portions running more in the direc- ton of Cananea than Bis5ee. Several companies are grading from the Tombstone branch to their respective properties. The town, the camp and the district is more distinguished for preparation than for operations, most of the larger enterprises expecting to start of in earnest on the advent of the railroad which ought to be com pleted and in operation by the 18th of January, 1903. The outlook for the Tombstone district is as brilliant as an April rainbow. In the meantime, the district court which some of the boys have dubbed the cattle thieves reunion is in full blast. His honor looks wise and grim. The law breaker is on the anxious seat and the home made lawyer is in his glory.

 J. M. Johnson. Billy Davis and Alec McKinsey are digging like badgers on the discovery work on their new 10 claim group located between Bisbee and the Easter Sunday. They are meeting very satisfactory indications and have some fiattering assays.

 Mining intelligence.
 A company of New Workers have secured the Santo Domingo placers on the Concha river near Chihuahua, Mexico. and 1t is announced that oper- ations. will soon commence on large scale.
 Cyanide is being introduced in the mines of Colorado for reducing ores. Experiments so far have produced ex- cellent results.
 The annual meeting of the Cripple Creek Consolidated Mining company was held in Colorado Springs this week.
 Daniel Guggenheim, president of the Guggenheim Exploration company, in an interview at Fl Paso. Texas. re gently. expressed the opinion that as soon as matters cleared up in China there will be relief for the silver market-Jour-al Miner.
