The Pyramid is now down about
four hundred feet with its well and has
about three hundred and nfty feet OF
water nit, but this is surface water
and would not prove a permanent
supply. Superintendent Hamilton
expects to get IA abundance Of water
at about Ave or six hundred feet.
e. b. Gage and Charles Leach Of
Tombstone who are both large owners
Of the stock In the Grand Central mine
OF that town, were in the city Tnes-
day and went out and took a look at
the railroad well. What such eminent
experts were here for and what were
the results Of their inspection no one
on the outside could ever tell. A
proper mining expert is more ~secretiye.
than a thirty-second degree mason.
The Pyramid company discharged
all miners in its employ last week.
The company has more ore exposed
thanit can handle with It's present
facilities, but as soon as it can strike
an abundance of water in the new
well it will be able to handle a~large
amout more ore and then a large
number OF mincrs will be set to wark.

jos. Tong from Carlisle made an Ell
Paso trip this weel,. Mr.. Toug has
made arrangements to start up the.
Carlisle mill, or at least twenty
stamps OF itrand win work a quantity
of ore from the Laura mine. This ore.
is a free milling proposition, carrying
considerable gold and silver. The
Carlisle company has a fine plant at
Carlisle which can, we are Informed,
be purchased very cheaply. Consider
ing the amount Of ore that has been
developed in Carlisle since the COM
pany stopped work and the way the
mill can be bought, it is to be a
mighty gooOd purchase for a person
who has the money to- ipyest, and
would undoubtedly, have a bonanza.
The LIBERAL would be very glad to
see some one take the purchase and SO.
lven up the camp.

list Of attractions they will be pub
lished in the Bullion and other papers.
The fact remains unc~ontradicted that
the miners and visitors who will be in
El Paso on the 18th Of December next
will have a royal good time.
