The latter company has been in operation for about twenty years, and employs about 1,500 men daily in the operation of its mammoth mine and smelters, and as a result has produced copper to over 34,000,OOO pounds during the year 1898, and the net proceeds of such production are reported to have been over $2,OOO,OO and 1t has been said by experienced miners who have been under its em- ploy for years, that the Queen mine now has sufficient ore in sight to keep it in constant operation for the next twenty years, without further de- velopment ; 7 t,ti,i t..a.s.j # \ Is 1t not reasonable to believe that the property of the Cochise company is fully as valuable, when it is within such close proximity to such a won derful mine?
 The blasts set off in the underground workings of the Queen property can easily be felt and heard at the shaft of our mine, and oftimes the copcussion has attracted marked attention.

The board of directors are original owners, and are ! donating their services to the com pany until such time as che mine will | pay dividends. They own the con- ! trolling interest in this property, and as a protection to stockholders have | placed their entire interest in escrow l for term of one year.

RICHARD FISHER ENToMBED.
Caught in Cave in the Tranquility
 Mine in Tombstone.

Sunday morning about II 80 o'clock Tom bstone was severely agitated by the report that a cave-in had occurred at the Tranquility mine and entombed Richard Fisher, one of the miners. Fisher is one of the best known aud popular miners in that camp and has many friends in Bisbee. The news of his misfortune is sad blow to his friends.
 The cave occurred on the POO foot level and was of considerable dimensions. Willing fellow miners started to work at once to rescue the entombed man, and the work has been pushed vigor- ously. Twenty-four hours after the ac- cident happened, according to the Pros- pector, "the miners got within good speaking distance of Fisher and the lat ter, with remarkable fortitude and en. durance, assured his rescuers that he was not suffering and, although badly cramped, had plenty of air. When asked to tap the wall with a rock that he might be better located, the answer of the imprisoned Fisher was that he could not move his hands or feet. He was pinioned to the wall, and yet not murmur or groan while in the paroxysm of despair" ""
 Since that time and up to II o'clock this morning, no sound had been heard from Fisher, and there now seems to be but little doubt that he is dead.
 The rescue work is still progressing as rapidly as possible, and time alone can tell what the brave rescuers will find when they reach the unfortunate man, but all hope for the best.

er he has been correctly reported, in
preference to taking what may be
printed in the newspapers as basis of
action. Capt. Coghlan's answer to the
department S request, therefore, will be
awaited before any further attention Is
given to the matter.
