Gradually the stroke (which in
regular wrrk will be S a minute
a'though the engine can be ea-dly
i run to lOstrokesa lninuteif re-
quired) was lei gthened and the run
!i water vas heaid in the fin me,
l;e v.-dumc of water kept on in
creasing and was cfuito a stieaiu
when the writer 'eft, 'J he pumps
continued working for a. few hotirs,
when work will bo discontinued
utitjl the repairs at the Urand
Central mine are finished. Mr.
Yt'Iiite has been liar i at work to
start up his pumps in about 10
days, all his labor has .o far gone
for n, thing. It is needless to re
mark that the machinery worked
very smoothly, and everything
about the foresight and care had
been devoted s. that no mishap
.-houid occur. Nothing was left to
chance and looking at the bright
ness of the numerous steel rods
and the burnished brasses, ono
could hardly realize the fact of the
!ng stoppage of IhU? machinery,
one special part or the machinery,
the movements of which wore
watched with interest was the pa
tent governor called the cataract.
This machine controls the large
walking beam , and in the event of
any mishap or accident happening
to the same, it stop the machiuery
of its own accord. It is an English
invention and a very ingenuous
one.
The amount of water to bo hand
led has been a matter of much con
jee ion as many lane ben the
opinions expressed.
Is the vter encountered a sub
tcrr.mean mining river, or is it an
enormous river. .Mr. White is of
the opinion that the latter is the
cirect version and it it. a curious
fact that i:i trie Contention. Head
Center, Trainpiility, Empire and
Wot Side, the water was encount
ered ac one level, whilst in the
Silver Eelt water 'as met with
lfc'O feet form .sura fee.
It is no doubt; also true. tha the
Granite Ilelfc on the west side of
town is the bound ny or extent of
that water on that side, so the
theory that wjn-n the level of the
."un PeJro had been reached the water
would iucM'AS'j in vulume, and forever
rvni'tsn uiicon'rollable may be discard
ed, as the bottom 6i the ( intention
iii::iu -!.ifti found to be now 50 fret
lower than the S.ui I'cdto rher ui
Crystal Springs.
During the fourteen months idle
nen-j in tin- Contention mine the water
h to-day ? fet 'over than when their
:iiii;' were fli.st started, whil.st in tin
Grand Central il isat lca.si 1 foot
ltss than when first met with.
It.is p. fact that with Messrs. White
and Cage are very sam-uine that their
pre.-ont pumjis are amply Kuflieient'to
.settle the water question in this d s.
trict oi-ee and forever, ami evervosi"
interested in Touibsttuie's futuio will
re-echo this announcement.
oi:anj CKNTItU..
The daily woik in a larcc jro,irty
like this dees not often admit of any
very novel features worthy of iccord.
The progress of work is monotonous
and steady, new develcpement work
continues, and th'-dailv .shipment of
ore to the mil! are regularly made.
Tliere is no doubt, however, that with
in i: !iionth more ran will be employ
ed here.
r.VEKAI.D.
Till latelv this, mine hark been a v-rv
uncertain one to work, the ore accurr
ing in lare kidneys, necessitatini; a
lare amount of lmi work and the
hoisting of quantities of barren rock.
The late strike which was reported in
our columns was very encouraging to
the management as the mine looks
better than ever, an 1 m-iy yet prove
to be as good pay as several of the
other propert:es of the company.
CONTENTION".
Preparations for work on an ex
tended srde have been going forward
for some time, and the starting of the
pumps will be tho signal for the em
ployment of at leat the old number
of men here.
' II TAD CESir.H.
Nothing doing just now but all U in
reodness for a start before Ion?. Thit.
and the Tranquility ought to employ
SO men when work is commenced.
tMFII'.K.
Is another of the properties that
will benefit by the starting of the
pumps oti the hill, and although they
have none of their own they will no
doubt gladly pay their share of a.ssefs
ment towards gr ttinj rid r,f the water
in their mine with afrcJ treasury, and
a vigorous management, great things
arc looked for from this property, as it
is well known they have a gout! strong
ledge, plenty of ore in sight and lots
of ground as yet unprospected.
our r.r.ror.T
being somewhat lengthy precludes the
mention of many claims where work
steadily progresses, either by the own
crs ca their own. account or by chlo
ridcrs oa lease. Larga arsas of this
camp are specially adapted for this lat
ter class cf work, and many a man has
during the past year made good wages,
where otherwise were ho looking for
steady wcge3 he would have earned
nothing.

tion liliun, lk'i ry it Co., who sought
to control the newspiper business of
this county backed up by violent and
unscrupulous party whose aim and de
sire was ro control the politics of this
county, hut we east our lot among
people whom we know oa the w'iole
were honorable un.i just. An 1 after
being reverseo ny a corrupt and sub
sidised court who were laboring in the
pay o: this opposition, and af'er ma
lovelent and dispicable means at their
hands wer- cshausted, we wore
smiling serenly on the top waves. The
Tomnv-rosK since its inception has done
more towards advertising r nd making
known the resources of Arizona than
any paper ever published in Cochise
coui ty, it has and will be our sole aim
to assist in building up the industries
of Arizona and Cochise countv, in par-
ticu'ur. We will not disturb or try to
mislead the outside world, but will
puhli,.h the plain untani.shed facts.
Aiizona h-s sufficient i .dustries with
in hr borders to astonish any ons no
fan illar with her varied and wonder-
I fnl resource'. As a cattle county Co
ehis-e stands second to r.oie, and as to
her tremendi.uR (ields cf bullion the
outi-i.io world knows it all by heait. In
conclusion we thank the generous pub
lie for the hearty support they hare
givrn us iu our short life of five
monthF, but we came to remain to be
a part of the anxicus waiting and
trusting public, knowing full vll
th. t our future will be rewarded by
the prospcious and successful public,
i:id we will stay by the county of
Cochise and in the years to come vrill
see our county on the top pinicle of
fame far removed from the jealousies
and petty squabbling which character
ize some of our neighbors.
