Tombstone visitors this week from
Paradise, which favored locality is
situated on the north side Of the CHR

the Tombstone Prospector. Mr.. Had
den is interested in some promising
mines in his section, and has much
confidence in the mineral resources
thereabouts. The mining district sur
rounding Paradise is beginning to re-
ceive the attention of mining inves
tors, and negotiations are pending on
several mining deals, the development
of, which will mean much for the ma
tefial growth and prosperity of the

company, under Supt. Knowles, are
doing active work. a tunnel of 200 feet
being run with satisfactory results.
Mr.. Geo. A. Walker. one of the pio

MINING ENGINEERS.

There are 1872 mining engineers hav-
ing offices in Ney York city, and all
are engaged in the examination of mi
ming properties. Many of these engi-
neers are constantly on the move and
their Investigations take them into ev-
cry country on the globe. One of them
is now in New Zealand, another in
Patagonia, another in China. another
in Siberia. A prominent engineer has
just returned from an elaborate trip
into the wilds of Cuba, and another
has returned from a two months ex-
cursion through the mineral region of
Santo Domingo while a third is back
from examining some gold prospects
in Rhodesia, South Africa. The Amer
