THE TIME IS INOpORIUNE

To show the far-reschipg effect of newspaper advertising 1t is only nec- ess,ry to state that the PRosPECToR is in daily receipt Of letters of inquiry from al sections o. the United States sskiug what is the opportunity for en gazing in business here, the populs- ton 0. the town the climate, water facilities, the prospective future Of the camp, etc.
 | To answer these many letters per- sonslly would work c hardship thst we do no, feel called upon ,o assume. Still. thess inquiries must be an swered, and the seventy-fve or more correspondent. may take it for granted that their letters are answered when they receive this issus of the PRos- PEcToR.
 An article appeared in these ool- umn, some time since, giving facts for the guidance of prospective settlers in this camp. We will state now as ws did then, that com mercial pureuits here are about equal ts the demsnd-; there is no boom here in ming cir. slss. nor is such catastrophe antici- pated or desired. The Tombsions Csnsoiidsted mines Co. is employing ing about forty men on preparatory work-sinking shafts, cross cutting, drifting. overhauling machinery and getting things in readiness to receive the mammoth psrApbanalis that is being specially constructed in the east, and which installed will be the msst com plete and modern mining plant on the Pacific coast. Until such time e the pumps aud other machinery arrive ;hs growth 0. Tombstone will net materially increase, but when the mines are in full operation it is be- lieved tha. 1000 or l. 800 miner. will be employed.
 To thU.e who are seeking sn inc pm parable climate we would not hesit at c .o recommend Tombstone, where Inc atmosphere is pure and dry and the seasons almost equable; at thi. season oi the year-mid twin Ier-,hs morn ings are co crisp tha, one needs a fire, the b.lmy days reminding one of sprinR,lme in the southland or au Italian summer that you real about.
 The town is admirably located on 6 gradually sloping mesa as a1 eleva- tion of 800 feet above sea level, the view from which in sil directions is only obsnuc.ed by the grandest, most -ntrsr cing mountain scenery that the eye of many ever tess.ed upon. Nexi to superb climate and elegant seen cry, pure water from the GurglinS uountain streams cannot but add to the superiority of this place as a health rssort and conduce to the pleasure of those who seek 6 happy medium between the dry sultry lowlsnds and the ligh, air irigids resorts 0! the mountain to?. Tombstone is blessed with 6 water system that Is conceded to be the best in the United States. At cost of $5OO.O0O pure spring water has been piped from the Huschucs mountains, . distance of thirsy--oDe miles, and it's purity and medicinal qualities, coupled with our inyigor- ating su unshine and rejuvenstiDg ozone has .eryed to make Tombstone ismous other then her great mines. Health seekers yisi, ibis section all seasons Of the gear, where spring fingers and makes goo-gso eyes at summer and winter lounges around in the lap o! the latter while the former slyly gives him . ki.s and bids him begone. thus Inviting him to leave before he has made known his businsss.
 The PRosPEcT1R would gladly ~el- toome business socessions 10 the camp, but at the present We could not jus tify our conscience in sdvising those from 6 distance to come and embark iu business and share in the fond hope of anticipation. Wait until these hopes and Anticipstions are about realized, and the world shall know through these columns.
