 Tombstone, Oct. 24.-To the min ing men who in their past ramDAes have visited this district and been ac- customed to see it classed with others in the West with their mammoth dumps, dilapidated mine buildings, hoists and reduction works that told the story of active and mammoth oper ations years before, and have often stopped and pondered over the sub joct as to why production had ceas- ed, the question wouh. ever be before him as to the circumstances that had brought about such wonderfully changed conditions-conditions that had changed the camp from a popnia- ton of 10000 souls to one of a mere grave yard. He wondered more great H when told that the district haa been but merely prospected, and had yet produced it's milIions of dollars in precious metals. A change is of- fered. being brought about by new blood being infused into the camp there by causing it's resurrection, and it will not be long now before it will be duplicating its splendid record of the past. when from its mines, a steady stream flowed into the chan nels of trade and commerce. The Tombstone district at one tune was one of the greatest mineral poducing camps in the West, and yet, in meas ure. it is but virgin field, as no depth has been reached in any of its mines. Now, with the hand of capital again directed to its old bonanza mines, its promising but practically unaevelop- ed prospects, it will rise again to the prominence 1t once held in the mining world.
 The largo pumps that have been installed by the Tombstone Consoli- dated Minee Company are slowfy but surely draining the district and motn- CT earth required to give up her hid den wealth The water in the f!s- :riot has now been lowered over one hundred feet, and when he new set af pumps are instaIlel on the seven iltinned foot level the water vii be lowered sufficiently to allow Ihe com pany to work 16o feet of virgin ground that has never before been prospected in the history of the camp It has already been demonstrated that rich ore bodies lie below the water level. and ore Is now being taken out fror, a winze n the six hundred in the new sh that farther proves this fact, and further, the fact that large body Of ore was encountered in cutting out the station On the seven hundred goes to prove that the Tomb stone mines are but partially devel- oped. A car of ore a day is now be ing shipped from the big shaft on the hill while other claims in the L.s, trict swen the number to fifteen per week.
 At the Big Shaft
 The work of cutting ont the station for the installation of the pumps has nearly been completea, and the men are now at work cutting the stump fe.T the water from the sinking pumps to be thrown. A station 8 feet ong le feet wide and 14 feet high has jus: been finished. and on which two large run7r= 7ip..a- to that ca the six nun dred will he Installed with the excep ton tha. tke=- pumps will have a rine-incb piunger instead of thirteen as the former. The stump into which the six-inch sinking pumps, of whicf there are four. will throw the water from the bottom of the shaft will be 10x12xso. and It is expected that th.' will be finished and the pumps insta! cd not later than the first of Decem Der.
