The cross-cut iS .}O feet from the shaft, all the way in very fine ore. The last las; four feet Is in solid ore that will average over 5000 Q ton Private letters from the mine say It is q {" per feet sight The King has now six levels thoroughly opened-the no, 252, SjG, 40S, 5l0 and Gl2. In only one Of these, the 3GJ. has any StOping been done; all the rest are virgin lev els. The only ore taken from the mine for months past has been that which came iron sinking the shaft, running crOss-cutS and cutting out stations. Colonel Barney, who k now at the mine, writes privately 60 a friend in this city that he estimates there are S3, 100000 in dividends in the mIne above tn" 6l2-fOoi level, Co say nothing of Sl ,000, GOO more on the dump. The company will probably soon take an important step toward the increase and development of is reduction facilities: One proposition Is tO establish extensive reduction works at or near Florence on the Gila River, where water is plenty and fuel cheap. This plan will certainly be adopted if the projected narrow gauge road from Pinal to Florence anu Casa Grandc shall be built Meantime the present works are sufficient to insure -d-ccr- dividends for years to come San Francisco Exchange.

There are six openings all in high grade ore. SIX assays of average ore taken from different parts of the vein gave an average of 42 per cent.

Tne Bob Ingcr,oll Mine.

A special correspondent ot the San Fanci>co Daily Exchange, writing from Tombstone under date Of May 1glh, gvcs ,he following particulars Of the ltw suit involving the title 10 the Bob in-ersoll mine.
 The cyl,maled case Of Proctor and Colby against John COu.cy, involving The title to the Bob Ingersoll mine Of this district, came up yesterday before the District Court on demurrer. line plaintiffs made B tcn-stTlkc, the de- mUiTcI having been oyerruieI. The court went iitn ail legal questions in- volyed in iac case, and II Is generally conceded tLI Inc plaintiffs will ulti- matciy get the mine. The stock Ol the mine Is u good barometer Of pub lc opinion. Last week ii sold readily for Sl .5y i.sJ share, ts day it was oi- tercd at 10 cents, and DO -uScrs. The mine ls yriV valuable, anu II these legal difficulties were out Ot the way il could soon be paying dividends. Unfortunately for the aew st0ckhO.d- ers legal proceedings cost money, anti com winch should be disbursed among cOntidIng stockholders in the shape of dividends, goes into the pocke,s . the iawycrs-jhose eaters of oyster .-5a dividors of shells l. is rumOrcl on the streets that since their deieat Ol the demurrer, the de- fcndanls, he Ingersoll Company, have employed Alex. Campbell and Tom Fitch at $lO, OUU each tO defend lhc suit. As one of your pOndents from this place remarks iu one of his letters, the whole trouble could have been avoided in the iiTst place by the exercise of little common sense and the employ ment of a competent law yer to examine the titles lt seems almost incredible, but yet such is the fact, that ,hU Bob lngersOli people represented by a capitalist of San Francisco, bought the Bob IngersOll grounds without searching for adverse titles They will be more cautious next lime. The Bob lngersoll is a great mine, and is well worth fight ing over. I.c plaintiffs thus far have the inside lruck, and having the law and the facts on their side, their sue cess cannot be a matter of doubt.
