 Tombstone. Ariz., Aug. 31.-To a visitor to the old town. unless he takes trip 10 the hins south of town he woal6 gain an impression that there was not much doing in the mining in- ons,yy> but such a trip would reveal to him that there was considerable doing.
 The Consolidated company is still earnestly al work and at the new shaft the Mig ppmps are daily lowering the Velpme of water that for years had been the drawback 10 the old camp. Tho puIsps now have no trouble in handling the water and the amount hardled is considerably less than it was a few months since. The work of cniting out the station on the TOO is being rapidly accomplished and soon ths other pump hat is to be installed there will be in place. A tramway from the shaft to the new ore bin is being built ap1 will soon be ready for business The upper part of the ore bin will be used as an ore sorting room and the ore dumped from these tO the bins below from where it will be taken out of the shoots direct into the cars for transportation 70 the smell ters al Fl Paso. 4 car of rich ore from the shaft was shipped during the past week
 At the Tranquility and Silver Tread the nsual forces are al work and con- siderable ore is being taken out. A 0aT of lead ore was shipped from the Thread during the past week At the CsrVet several men are al work and the company expects soon to begin making regular shipments from there ana grnm fifty to 100 tons per day win be shipped
 The wOrkmen engaged in clearing oHt the Emerald shaft yesterday reached point near the 300 foot sta ton At this point they found quite jam Of old timbers and just before quitting time they removed a timber which let the balance of the ie- |. some 300 feet down and it was only by pnick action on the part of the miners that they were not carried down. They secured themselves by grabbing or 10 the ropes fixed for that T0rpose just as the mass began to move. II is now thought that the HorR will proceed much faster until *F,F,- A1 .-
 The company has force of men at work building a read from the Emer- ass around through the gulch on the wesf to the old Stonewall hoist. which the company expects to open up in the Eear future.
 The Lucky Cuss, Tribute and Tough nu' and West Side hoists have all been overhauled and the engines and boilers put in shape so as to be start ed as sDnn as the company is ready to do so.
 Outside of the Consolidated compa- ny She Johnston company which is working the Benton-Wilson property under bond. has the next largest num- Der o1 men on the pay roll The con- pary at present is at work cross cut ting on the 300 foot level. while at the same time they are still sinking the shaft. Considerable ore has been en- ccpntered in opening up this property but none has been taken out with the exception of what was absolutely nec- essory in sinking the shaft and this ore is now on the dump ready for ship Esaus
 Ths bond on the property which is Tor Ss0O00 expires on the 1st of No veDSer and there seems to be but very little doubt but what the ccm- pany win pay over the amount be- tween now and that time. The com pany at present has some thirty odd men on the pay roll.
 The work in the Little Devil which is being done by a company known as the Benton company has been stopped dRytng the past few days during the installment of a hoist which was recently purchased from the Consoli- oasets company. The hoist purchased IS the one that was used in making wset is known as Murphy's Boon at the corner of Fifth & Fremont streets. As sOon as the machinery and boiler aye installed the development wo k Will oe continued Considerable rich ore has been taken out of this property drItng past years and there is not the slightest doubt but that when a great CT septh has been reached the same character Of ore will again be encount- cred
 Johnny Rainey and associates are doing some work in the Ferris proper ty and only few days since encount- cred quite body of good ore. They are at present handicapped from the lack of having a hoist. The shaft
