WG REVIEW.
"stsof this district aie
lind the work of develop-
with moio than usual
ver iu the hUtmy of the camp
Hitch interest been taken in work-
ng up its mineral resources. The great
producing mines of tint district are run
ning along without ncrlous change, but on
the outskirts.among tho prospects, the great
work of the caflip can be discerned. There
is no doubt, but among experenced miners
thcie is mote faith iu this district than
ever before. Prospects, whoso shafts had
been hermetically sealed for more than a
year, are now being worked, and same
claims that had been pulling their weary
way alung with u man or two at work on
them arc uowshoniugup a full force, and
a handsome dump of oto. Tho great
enterprise wo referred to last week tho
sinking of n combination shaft is well
under way, aud will doubtless assume
active proportions on the return of Mr.
White from San Francisco. It is under
stood that Mr. White is at present at the
coast ou business connected with the
launching of this great work. The shaft
will be stalled lroni the surface, and will
bo under the joint management of the
Contention and Grand Central. It is pro
posed to appropriate $300,000 to push the
work. It will be u two-corapartment
shaft, one for pumping purposes and the
other for hoisting. It will bo sunk near
tho boundary lines of tho Contention and
Grand Central, about thirty feet back of
the Flora Morrison hoisting works. It is
proposed at present to pump tho water by
hydraulic means, but this has not been
definitely decided on. The shaft will be
sunk to an indefinite depth, and its pro
gress will be marked with interest by the
community.
So far as could bo gleaned by thoEn
TAnr reporters, the following are the
points of interest regarding the mines of
this district since our last :
t. ji. & M. CO.
Tho work heretofore reported is contin
ued m tho mines of this company. A seven
foot vein of medium grade ore was found
in tho Combination works a few days ago.
Sinking is continued in the West Side and
in Good Enough. The oro body in the
incline has been extended and is looking
very promising. In other respects work is
going along about as usual. The mine is
In excellent condition.
CONTENTION.
Tho work of extracting ore in largo
quantities has been partially suspended
during tho rainy season, there being an
immense- quantity of ore on the dump at
tho mill, und consequently no need of
wearing out mules on soft muddy roads.
Tho force habitually employed extracting
ore have been on exploration work, and
thrco tine bodies of oro not heietotore
dreamed of, have been discovered. The
COO level was looking remarkably well
yesterday. Tho whole face of the south
drilt shows an unbroken body ot ore, not
of very high grade, etill of such quality
as to givo abundant hope of future im
provement. Tho north drift on the same
level is being driven rapidly toward the
Sulphurct shaft. Occasional strata of very
fair ore have been cut through, but none
of them of sufficient magnitude to war
rant drifting. Second-class oro is still be
ing worked by ten stamps of tho Girard
mill, with very satisfactory results.
HEAD CENTER.
Work on this mine had been partially
suspended for thrco days, owing to the
erection of steam hoisting works. Yester
day, however, tho mine started up again iu
full blast, and the steam bolster works to
perfection. Tho mino has now facilities
tor hoisting a ton of oro every three
minutes.
(1HAN1) CENTRAL.
The drifts on the 600 level :iro being
driven along vigorously, and while no ore
body has as yet been encountered, still the
indications nro such as to convince any
practical miner that mineral is not far dis
tant. Tho rock is not as hard as formerly
and better progress is being made. Suffi
cient ore rests on tho dump to relieve the
management from all anxiety regarding a
sufficiency of ore until tho end of tho rainy
season. Tho stopes are producing as usual,
and the mine generally is in excellent con
dition. TKANQUILITY.
Tho usual quantity of ore is being raised
from tho whip shaft, and tho ore body holds
out about as usual. Connection between
the main works aud the whip shaft is daily
expected. Ten stamps of tho Girard mill
are reducing Tranquility ore, and tho mine
is in excellent condition.
WINFIELD.
This mluo is assuming better propor
tions daily. Yesterday was pay day at the
mine, and the jolly and honest miners were
consequeatly happy. Good progress is
reported in all the works. The ore shipped
to tho Boston mill has given very
flattering returns, and every Indication
proves that a bonanza is certain at no dis
tant day.
LUCK SUllE.
Two shafts are being sunk on this mine,
and very good progress made. No. 1 is
now down forty feet, and No. 2 seventeen
feet. Work was started up briskly about a
week ago; a blacksmith's shop .has been
built, aud considerable lumber for timber
ing the shafts hauled to tho ground.
Twelvo men aro employed. Both shafts
are being run through bodies of high grade
ore, with seemingly staying characteristics.
More than fifty tons of very high grade ore
now lay on the dump aud will be shipped
to the Boston mill next week. The mine
is looking In excellent trim, and work will
be continued right along.
STONEWALL.
Seventy feet west of the old shaft anew
double-compartineut perpendicular shaft
has been started that will be sunk to a deptli
of S00 feet without interruption, no acci
dents occurring. When down a sufficient
depth, this will bo made tho main working
shaft, tho drifts and crosscuts being so iub
as to tap it nt proper intervals. Only ono
load of oro ner day is now being shipped
to tho mill, more than 2,000 tons being
ahead on tho mill dump. Three shifts
will bo put to work on tho new shaft to
morrow. There Is plenty of oio in sight,
and the mine was never in belter con
dition. KAUl.E.
The incline is now down 100 feet, and
has cut an exicnslvo body of medium
grade ore. A perpendicular shaft has just
been started, about half way between the
two oid ones, and is now down about ten
feet, in a small vein of oro ruuniug fairly
well. Supciintcndent Thompson of this
mine is verv conservative, and unless the
oro is there beyond peradventuie he pro
fesses skepticism.
VIZl.N'A.
The south drift on the 400 foot level is
now extended 115 feet, und tho north drift
is in 153 feet, both looking promising.
The 300 Toot drift is now in 133 feet west;
Sloping the usual aiuouiu from tho upper
level, which goes forward to the mill. The
gradu ot ore may be infeired when it is
staled that 15 tons gave $110 per ton from
the battery samples. This mine is noted
for its rich ore. It ia safe to say that all
the oie jnilled from ttiU mino thus far has
averaged over 580 per ton. No other mine
in tho district can show such results.
KMl'lltK.
Both drifts to tho north mo being pushed
ahead vigorously. That upon the 450 foot
level is iu 570 feet, and that on tho 400 is
in 010 feet; both iu ledge matter of a
promising character. The winze on the
450 foot level is down 40 feet, the vein of
oio being three feet Ihiek. The .-oulh drift
on this level W in 88 feet and looking well
Tho stopes aro looking and'yielding well.
.UOLLItt.
This promising claim is daily becoming
more attractive to mining men. The east
drift from tho 50 level is being driven in a
fine body of ore, the ledge widening with
each day's work. The mino never looked
better, anil tho prospects of a big thing are
excellent.
CONTACT.
Work has again commenced at this
mine, the drifts from the 100 level being
pushed vigorously. Tho ore body looks
well.
COlTEllOrOLIS (IIISJIEK).
Shaft down 05 feet; all the way hns been
sunk on the ledge, following toot wall,
which dips slightly in an easterly direc
tion. At 52 feet struck an immense body
of red oxido of iron aud carbonate ore.
Have gone down 10 feet through it and no
signs of hwing reached the bottom of the
doposit yet. This body of ore assays
throughout over GO ounces in silver and is
so soft that' it can bo shoveled up from the
bottom of the shatt. Have lost both walls
and therefore cannot determine the mag
nitude of tho deposit. A shed will be
placed over tho shaft, and tho shaft tim
bered from top to bottom before further
sin icing can be accomplished.
SAN I'EDItO,
Winze on 205 level down 56 feet; all
through ledge matter highly mineralized,
from whicli many favorable assays have
been obtained. Bottom of winze looking
most encouraging. East drift on same
level is in 35 feet from station. Face of
drift all in ore which gains in quality as
they near tho porphyry. On the 232 level
are extracting line ore from the southeast
drift.
IIOHSHSIIOE.
Northwest crosscut on 225 level is In 110
feet. Face of crosscut still in hard quartz,
ito impregnated with pyrites of iron. Tho
scam of oi e in centre of drift is widening
as progress is made.
MOZAMBlqUK.
The two shafts arc still continued, No. 1
being down twenty-seven feet aud No. 2
twenty-eight feet. Both shafts are being
sunk In good vein matter between well
defined walls. The quality of the ore im
proves as woik progresses, and there is
hardly a doubt but a fine body of oie is in
the vicinity.
CIUKLTII CONSOLIDATED.
Still sinking in a very fine body of ore.
The shaft is following the dip of tho vein,
without any indication of walls. The oro
body is about six feet and a half wide, and
improves in quality as work progresses.
Shaft now down nDout thirty-two feet.
JJLUE JACKET.
Good progress has been made here dur
ing tho past week. Shaft No. 2 is now
down nearly 40 feet in a solid body of
high grade ore.- Shalt No. '3 is down
a little over eighty feet in a fine vein of
medium grade ore. The tunnel is making
good progress, being in about thirty-four
feet.
KEA SUEflE.
Still sinking on the main shaft, now
down about sixty-eight feet. Good pro
gress is being made, the ground not being
very hard.
c. o. I).
Sinking on tho main shaft was resumed
during the past week, and has now reached
a depth of ninety-five feet. Tho ore body
improves, and everything looks promising.
IIOI-E.
This promising mino is now down ubtut
110 feet and displays a fine vein of mineral.
The ore body was struck at 100 feet from
the surface, and is improving daily.
OLD (1UAKD.
Work is continued on this property with
the usuul vigor, and everything shows up
encouragingly. The drift from the 80 level
is being pushed rapidly, and shows up a
fine body of ore. The diift from tho winze,
between tho 150 and 2S0 levels continues
to open up a good ore body, and the
quality of the mineral is also improving.
INQKUSOLL.
Nothing new to report from this mine
this week. Considerable ore is being ex
tracted and much prospecting done. Tho
oro bodies continue to improve, aud every,
thing runs along about as usual.
LIMA CONSOLIDATED.
The incline shaft is now down 170 feet,
and followed the pitch of the vein to a
deptli of 130 feet from tho surface. The
incline will be continued to a depth
of 200 feet, when a station will
be cut out aud a crosscut run to
tap tho ledge at tho point where it
branched off from the shaft a fine
body of oro was exposed, and the indica
tions ot an extensive mineral bud are ex
cellent. Good progress is being made in
tho work, and tho mine is in tine condi
tion. K1UNKLIN.
Prospecting is still actively continued on
this excellent claim, and the indications of
a lino oie body were never better.
FA III VILLA.
South drift on 100 foot level extended
21 feet mostly in hard blasting roek. Vein
on hanging wall widening with longth
gaiued, and carrying more metal. Have
oblained very fair assays during the week,
showing a tendency to make silver.
Are now stripping tho croppings. Distnnca
from head of drift, giving a width from 12
to 18 feet, of a fine character, and extend
ing the whole length of the claim, here
bared for about 15 feet. The next 10 feet
of drift will show good ore. The condi
tions of workings about the mine are in first
class order.
ItUSSELLVILLF.
On the Peabody mine forty-five feet of
winze is now uriven, snowing tweuty-two
feet of ore and twenty-ono feet of breast.
Drift from the 110 feet level is in 115 feet.
The depth reached in the mino is 155 feet
on incline shaft. In all the workings the
oro is of first grade. Stoping has been car
ried on for the last three weeks, and the
upraise measures abont forty-six feet from
the main drift. A working shaft has just
been started which has reachod a depth of
twenty-two tecl.
Tho Copper Kiug Is looking well. Shaft
has reached a depth of twenty-six feet, and
its size is seven feet by eleven. At this
deptli the vein Is four feet wide, and in
first-class ore.
The San Antonio presents a splendid
appearance. The main shaft is down sixty
fiyo feet, following the dip ot the vein.
Tho workings show a lino body ot ore.
Eighty feet east of the shaft a cut across
tho vein has been run to the depth ot
twenty feet, and in this cut there is dis
played a fifteen-fcot body of very line ore.

Special Correspondence of the Epitaph.
Heiimosillo, August 18, 1882.
The unusual serenity aud quietness that
has pervaded tho political atmosphere in
tills State for some timo back seems to bo
on the point of being rudely broken. Wo
haven't had a political scrimmage of any
consequence in this State since 1870, but
from present appearances we will be in the
throes of revolution ere many weeks more.
Don Carlos Ortiz, the present Governor of
tho State, is a scion of one of the leading
commercial families of the Stale. Ho was
educated abroad, principally in Germany,
and returned to his native heath thoroughly
imbued with aristocratic principles. He
cnteied politics and was elected a member
ot tho Sato Legislature while General
Pesqueru was Governor. Ho was
the Governor's ablest opponent in the
Legislative Assembly and won immense
popularity iu consequence. It is a tradi
tion hole that Pcsquera was tweuty-ouo
years Governor of Sonera and never elect
ed. The people demanded a change and
young Ortiz was tho man singled out to
retire the doughty General to private life.
Tho future Governor placed himself at the
head of a revolutionary party, issued a
pronunciamicnto, and kept in the field un
til the veteran warrior Pesquera was le
tired to private lifo and Luis E. Torres
acknowledged Jovernorof the State. Thus
it will be seen that Ortiz and Torres entered
public lifo as
POLITICAL TAItTNEItS,
and continued good friends until about six
months ago. When Torres became Gov
ernor, he used the power of his office to
elect Ortiz a member of the Federal Con
gress, and also promised that the young
Alamos statesman should be iu the lino of
succession to tho Gubernatorial office.
These pledges were religiously maintained.
Louis E. Torres is still a young man, was
educated in the United States, and is by
all means tho most progressive man in
publio life in Sonora. Under his adminis
tration American capital was invited to.
the State; the Sonora Railroad Co. received
a charter, and the commonwealth made
vait strides in the direction of political an e
commeieial progress. He was the idol
of the people, but in accordance with his
pledges retired from offlce.to make room for
Ortiz, then a member of the Federal Con
gress. Ortiz was placed in nomination as
the friend of the administration. Tho op
position candidate was SonorMaytcraines,
a resident of Guayma3 and one of the
wealthiest and most respectable citizens of
the State. Luro Morales, of Urcs, was on
the ticket for Lieutenant Governor. Tho
best people In the Slate supported Mayte
raines, and were it not for the "returning
boards" he would undoubtedly be de
clared elected. The district of Ures voted
almost solidly lor the opposition candidate,
but the vole was thrown out on a techni
cality, and Ortiz was declared elected.
Much dissatislactien prevailed, aud the
EMBERS OF REVOLUTION
have been smouldering in tho State ever
since. Governor Ortiz professed to be a
great friend of foreigners and an ardent
promoter ot enterprises conducted under
the auspices of American capital, but he was
not in office more than a few months when
lie began to assail American enterprises
with petty persecutions. The Sonora Bail
load Company and Its employees became
an especial target for bis malice, and
through this means tho first break witli
Torres was engendered. Whilo the latter
gentleman was Governor, a party of Boston
capitalists were induced to commence the
construction of a railroad from Guaymas
to a point in the United States, the Gov
ernor promising that lie should become
sponsor tor the protection of their enter
prise. The ex-Governor accordingly re
monstrated with Ortiz when his persecu
tions became unbearable and thus they
quarreled. General Catbo, a nephew of
Geaeral Trevino, late Secietary of War,
was stationed in Sonora, and took tho Tor
res side of tho dispute. A wordy warfare
ensued between himself and Ortiz. Tho
columns of tho public press were used to
defame eaeli other, when, to tho as
tonishment ot all, tho General and
cx-Govcruor Torres sailed from Guay
mas together, without previous
warning, and iu due timo arrived at the
City of Mexico. What transphed at the
Federal capital I cannot say, but the im
pression is preyalent that the general gov
ernment piomised to aid-a movement for
tho overthrow of Ortiz. In this contest, as
in many others, politics make strange bed
fellows. Tones and Mayteraincs, former
ardent enemies, are now warm friends,
while Ortiz and the venerable Pesquera,
either of whom would consider It a patri
otic act to have the other's jugular vein
severed a year &o, now swear by each
other. Ygnacio Pesquera is at present a
resident of Ures, and though advanced iu
years and cussedness has much inlluencc
still in northern Sonora. By tho sale of
mining properly to American capitalists ho
lias become rich and dignified, and secina
to bo possessed of tho belief that the intro
duction of railroads will eventually lead to
the flaunting of the
STAltS AND STllII'ES
over the state capital at Hormosillo. Ortiz
professes to believe the same thing, while
Torres, Carbo and Mayteraincs assert that
railroad connection with the United States
would be the mainspring to (he future
prosperity of Sonora. These are tho issues
on which the contest is being waged, and
it is hardly necessary to state that tho
American residents are almost unanimous
in favor of the Torres-Mayteraines faction.
It is hardly possible that a contest can bo
avoided. The latest accounts received
state that Carbo and Torres are expected at
Guaymas daily with a force of Federal
troops. General Reyes, who is also a re
liable opponent of Ortiz, is camped with a
force ot 1500 men about 100 miles east ot
Ilermoslllo. and is permitting the Apaches
to raise hell in the Sauhripa district rather
than miss a chance to strike Ortiz when
opportunity ofiers. In the meantime Ortiz
has made active
ntlil'AltATIONB FOlt THE FKAY,
and will not give up without a bloody
struggle. Ho has organized militia com
panies in every hamlet in the Stale, and
lias quite a liltle army in training at uis
home iu Alamos, in the southeastern por
tion of the State. It is supposed that w hen
hostilities break out Ortiz will make
an eU'ort to be revenged ou the
Railroad Company aud the lines and prop,
crty of the corporation will suffer. In this
event tho Amcrtcan residents, as well as
tho Tones Maytoraines faction hope for
intervention on the part of Uncle Sam.
That is the state of affairs at present. Much
disquietude prevails, American capitalists
are uneasy, the mines are shutting down,
the railroad officials disheartened, and you
may expect hell popping pretty lively- at
any moment. GiUMto.

DEMOCRATIC REGISTRA

Oi'Sntilzatlon of tho TVarrt Clulis I5n
thURlahtic ItScctingM S.aat Saturday.
Iu accordance with tho mandate of tho
Democratic County Committee, the Demo
cratic voters of this city assembled at the
several' wauls last Saturday and registered
themselves i.s adherents of the Democratic
pally. Cioakers who were inclined to
contest the popularity of the mandate
issued at the recent meeting of the County
Legislature of the Democracy were
somewhat taken back by tho large
gatherings that assembled at the different
places of meeting. As Daniel O'Connell
used to say, "this is a gicat day for Ire
land." So might tho Epitaph say, "this is
a groat day for Democracy." Merchants
fiom their desks, mechanics from their
benches, lawyers from their offices, miners
trom their picks, laborers from their
shovels, teamsters from their carts
assembled, to scroll their names
in the grand Democratic registration. As
in all representative bodies there was a
lively contest in some of the wards, but all
arguments were for opinion sake, nud all
in the interest of what was supposed the
strengthening or Democracy. It was a
perfectly goodualured contest. Of course
it was understood that every man who
signed the rolls pledged himself to vote
the Democratic ticket withou' blotch or
blemish. As in all representative contests,
a difference of opinion prevailed, but
when it came to what was believed the
true interests of Democracy, all were un
animous. The best of good feeling pre
vailed throughout, and those who
were inclined to believe that the
warm hearts and sturdy souls of Tomb
stone were not Democratic had better have
been present. Everything passed off as
pleasantly as a summer dream ; men of all
shades of opinion wer6 in attendance;
warm partisans of different candidates
struggled for their favorites, and cither in
tne joy of victory or philosophy of dejeat,
were ever ready to announce themselves
Democrats, first, last and all tho time. In
the
KIKST 1VAHD,
that sterling Democrat and representative
citizen Judge Peel, called tho meeting to
order and said that he presumed everybody
present was a Democrat. He said the ob
ject ot the meeting was to enroll the Demo
crats of the first ward in a band of fellow
ship in support of good government, and
consequently in favor of tho nomi
ii3cs of the Democratic party at the
ensuing election. Judge Peel then nom
inated Judge A. J. Feltcr for temporary
chairman. The nomination was warmly
seconded, and Judge Feltcr was unaui-
mously elected. Nathan Lee was chosen
secretary, una on motion a recess ot nttecn
minutes was taken to give those present a
chance to sign the roll.
At the expiration of fifteen minutes the
roll was called, and twenty-four answered
to their names.
On motion the club proceeded to tho
election of a permanent president and
Judge B. L. Peel was placed in nomina
tion. There bein no opposing candidate,
Judge Peel was unanimously elected.
Mr. Nathan Loigh was also elec
ted permanent secretary of the
club, and by resolution, tho Chairman and
Secretary were both entrusted with copies
of the "roll for signatures during the
ensuing week. The meeting then adjourn
ed until next Saturday evening.
SECOND WA11D.
The Democrats of this ward met at the
Court House, and a large gathering assem
bled. Mr. George Pridham was chosen
temporary chairman, and Frank Hereford
was elected temporary secretary. On mo
tion, a recess was taken to allow those
present to sign the roll and become mem
bers. Eighty-two members signed tho
roll, and on the reassembling of tho meet
ing, A. T. Jones was elected president by
acclamation, and John Smyth and George
Beveridgc, both staunch Democrats and
unimpeachable men, were placed in nom
ination for secretary. A vote being called
lor, Mr. Smyth was declared Secretary.
Mr. Purdy reminded the club that ac
cording to the mandate of tho County
Committee tho president of the club was
the custodian of the books and records of
the 'association, and consequently that all
documents should bo entrusted tQ Mr.
Jones.
This brought oil a somewhat
healed discussion, in which Mr.
Purdy, Joseph Poynton, and
Judge Riclly took part, but the arguments
and data introduced by Mr. Purdy weie
unimpeachable, and his idea of tho matter
was adopted by the meeting. Eighty-two
members signed tho roll, and the club ad
journed until next Saturday evening, after
an understanding being arrived at that the
books weic to be exposed for signatures at
regular hours during the week.

ViRorit Powder is no infringement of tho Giant Powder patents, but on the contrary "in no
respect within their contemplation." It is lndicrons as well as libelous therefore to term this
powder an adulteration or Imitation of one scientifically inferior.
Experience and use have proved for tho Visorit .Powder:
1st That it Is a safer powder for transporting and handling than thr other Nlto-Ulvcerin
Powders heretofore made
2d That with an equal explosive power It is very free from hurtful fumes.
3d That it is much less affected by heat cold or moisture.
4th That it can be tightly tamped without risk of explosion.
Risks of Accidents Will Be Very Greatly Lessened,
If not altogether overcome, by a general nse of this po tvder in the mines. " Wo have yet to hear ol a
single human blng who has been injured by it."
